All right, I did Family Guy and Futurama... now for my other favorite Fox show... 'American Dad'! Hope you all like this one! Read up on this first chapter now!


One day, in Pearl Bailey High School, Steve Smith was happily humming to himself as he smiled, looking at the envelope that contained the letter he wrote to his recent crush and possibly girlfriend. He gave a happy sigh of content, knowing that this letter was perfect in every way...

"There you are Steve! Where were you?"

Steve's mind snapped back to reality as he saw his three best friends, Snot, Barry and Toshi coming up to them. "Oh, hi guys!"

"What's that?" Barry asked, noting the letter in Steve's hand.

"Oh, right, this..." Steve smiled nervously as he motioned over to Toshi.

Toshi, getting the message, spoke in his usual Japanese as he took the letter, saying, "All right, I know the drill."

"What was that all about?" Snot asked, suspiciously.

Toshi started speaking Japanese, saying, "Steve and my sister have been writing letters to each other almost every week, and I am their messenger."

Barry and Snot raised an eyebrow in confusion as Snot turned, "English, please?"

"I guess there's no other way around it..." Steve sighed. "You see, me and Toshi's sister, Akiko, have been talking again recently... and we promised each other we'd send letters... and we both talked with Toshi and he agreed to be the letter sender for us."

"Why can't you mail it through your mailbox, Steve?" Barry asked.

"...Yeah, let's just say Toshi's mother and my mother aren't... on speaking terms right now. They're fine with me and Toshi being friends, but... they are still trying to get used to the idea of me and Akiko..." Steve said. "Toshi, do you think you can deliver the letter?"

Toshi spoke in his Japanese, saying, "I will give it to her as soon as I see her... in about a couple minutes, her class is about to finish soon."

As Toshi walked off, Snot and Barry shook their heads as Steve noticed. "What?"

"...You know what, I'm just going to say it... Steve, it's so obvious by now you want to go out with Akiko... but you need to make a move and I mean quickly!" Snot frowned.

"Make a move? However do you mean?" Steve frowned. "I'm sending her letters, aren't I? I'm talking with her a few times, right? Besides, Toshi's okay with me dating Akiko!"

"I don't know, Steve. Remember when you tried to go out with Akiko and it turned out she was more interested in the kid who can dance and was younger than you?" Snot asked.

"That's all in the past. Things have changed a lot since then... besides, what could happen between me and Akiko that could hurt us?" Steve said.

"They could move out of town." Barry said.

Steve laughed. "Please, like Toshi's family would..."

Steve then smiled nervously... then frowned as he got worried. "You don't think they're going to move... do you?"

"Well... I'm sure it's probably nothing, besides, as long as Toshi's with us, his family isn't moving out anytime soon..." Snot said.

"Now that I think about it... I haven't dated Akiko yet and..." Steve said. "What if Akiko leaves without me saying good-bye? How can I live with that, knowing that one of the girls I could possibly love... may be gone from my fingers... I don't know what to do... I need help..."

Snot and Barry looked at each other and whispered to each other as Steve was looking down, unhappily. Truly, this was one of those tough decisions for poor Steve Smith...


[INSERT AMERICAN DAD! INTRO HERE]


Later at home, inside the Smith household, Steve was laying down on the couch, sighing unhappily as he looked up at the ceiling. Francine was passing by with the laundry when she noticed Steve in that position. "Oh, Steve, honey, you look pretty depressed."

"What was your first clue?" Steve said sarcastically.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Francine said, sitting next to her son.

Steve sighed. "Sorry, mom... I guess I'm just thinking about Akiko..."

Francine looked in surprise, then gave a smile. "Your friend's sister?"

"That's the girl..." Steve said. "I don't know what to do, Mom. I'm friends with Toshi, and I also speak to Akiko through letters whenever necessary... but the more I think about it... the more I realize that me and Akiko haven't had a date in a long time..."

"...or ever." Francine said.

"I guess what I'm thinking is... have you ever had an irrational fear of your friend, your crush and their family moving out of the neighborhood and never seeing them again, and you want to admit your feelings for her, but you never do and... you feel incomplete, knowing that the one you fell in love with left you behind without ever knowing how you felt about her?" Steve asked.

Francine paused as she looked up. "Hard to say... but look, honey, if you want to talk with Akiko... I suppose I can try to talk with her mother to see if we can put aside our differences..."

"You can do that?" Steve asked, hopefully.

Francine laughed. "I bet she even forgot about what we were fighting for... I know I did..."

Steve then hugged his mother happily as he said, "Thank you, mom! You're the best!"

"Anytime, Steve..." Francine smiled as she started to head for the phone and started dialing a number. "Hello, Mrs. Yoshida? Francine Smith here. Oh, yes, I am calling about Akiko and Steve. Oh, no doubt, I think these two need to spend some time together. Great! Oh, also..." Francine's eyes narrowed. "...I'm ready for that rematch..."
