Peter Versus the Minish

Chapter 1: Missing Sandwich

It seemed like an average day for the people of Quaghog, Rhode Island. Especially for a certain Griffin family to which the wife of Peter Griffin was finished making a sandwich for Peter's lunch for work.

"Still making lunch for Peter, isn't he a bit too old for someone to be making lunch for?" asked Brian to Lois who was sitting on the table sipping some tea.

"Yeah, but it's better for me if he knows what he wants" replied Lois, "you want someone of his intelligence to be making his own food? I mean come on, the last time I walked into the kitchen when he was making his own food, it seemed like there was a food fight had happened here."

"I can unfortunately picture that in my head" added Brian, "well, I'm going to hit the hay and get some z's."

"I'll do the same too after I put this sandwich in the refrigerator" continued Lois as she put the sandwich in wrapping paper specifically for Peter.

But the next morning, a certain Peter Griffin would soon discover that the sandwich that was meant for him was going to certainly be missing. As everyone was sitting down already eating breakfast, Peter had just came out of the restroom doing his business. While searching the refrigerator for his sandwich he soon found out that it was missing to which he turned toward Lois for answers.

"Hey Lois, have you seen my sandwich you said you made for me for lunch today?" asked Peter, "I searched the place where you told me when you came upstairs last night."

"Oh come on Peter, I put the sandwich in the same place like always" replied Lois, "I mean what could have happened to it?"

"Say Meg, have you been sleepwalking and eating again?" asked Peter as he turned toward his daughter.

"Come on, the therapist said I was cured from that problem already" replied Meg who was a bit insulted.

"Chris, did you sleepwalk and ate Peter's sandwich?" asked Lois.

"Well, would I look like the type to be like that?" added Chris, "I don't think the evil monkey in my closet even took the sandwich."

For a short second, as Chris turned toward the stairway, the evil monkey was right here making his evil stair at Chris and doing his typical pointing his finger at him before he quickly dashed upstairs to his room.

"Well, who took my sandwich then?" asked Peter, "I can't go to work without my sandwich."

"Oh come on Peter, let this go" replied Brian, "I'm sure you have enough money to buy lunch on your lunch break."

"Say, you're right Brian, I will, as soon as I find my car keys" added Peter to which he suddenly realized they were also missing, "Lois can I borrow your car so that I can go to work?"

"You lost your car keys too?" asked Lois in such astonishment, "Fine, take my spare key for my car."

"Thanks, well, I'm off then" replied Peter after Lois tossed the spare key, he promptly headed out.

"Well that's a bit strange, usually Peter often loses his keys on his own and for the stupidest reasons" said Brian.

"You know, I did hear some odd noises between the walls of this house last night" said Stewie, "at first I thought it might have been ghosts, but it could have been something else."

"Well what do you mean by that?" asked Brian.

"Haven't you realized that we have been having more missing items that we usually know where they are that are somehow just gone just like that?" asked Stewie.

"Hmm, now that you mention it, my favorite chew toy seems to be oddly missing" added Brian, "where did you last hear these strange voices?"

"Well, after breakfast, I'll show you where I heard them" replied Stewie.

After everyone finished breakfast, Stewie immediately led Brian to his room, where it seemed like there was a small hole in the wall.

"I suspect there are some odd beings or whatever that are living in that hole in the wall" said Stewie.

"Oh come on, nothing can really live in something as small as this" said Brian, "not even one of those bugs could survive here without proper food."

"But I'm telling you that I heard some strange voices at night" said Stewie, "really tiny voices from what could be probably tiny people living in our house."

"Oh come on, that's just fairy tale talk" laughed Brian, "now if you excuse me, I'm going to read up on my book that I was in the middle of."

But as Brian headed downstairs to retrieve the book, he suddenly realized the book itself was missing. He knew he had placed it on the bookself where he would find it. But as he kept on searching, he knew it was missing and he knew he didn't misplace it.

"Brian, just what are you doing?" asked Lois as she came into the scene.

"I'm trying to look for the book I was reading yesterday, I could have sworn I put it on the self right here" replied Brian.

"Oh come on, there are some other great books here you could probably read" said Lois, "when that other book is found, you can turn back to it."

"Yeah, maybe you're right" said Brian.

It merely started with a simple missing sandwich from Peter, but also Brian's favorite chew toy and also his favorite book he was just finished up reading on. Stewie may have gotten it right that something or someone may have took it. But he wouldn't know how right he would later on be. Things started to get stranger for the Griffin family that evening after Peter came home from work. It would soon all come down during dinner, as Lois was about to hand out the roast beef to everyone.

"Boy what a day" sighed Peter with such a relief, "now I have to go back there tomorrow. I wish I can find out what the heck happened to my keys."

"Here's the biggest piece for you Peter" said Lois as she handed the largest piece to him.

"Why thanks Lois" replied Peter.

Yet as Peter was about to dive right in, and cut up his roast beef, the roast beef suddenly began to split apart itself to which only left a medium size scraps for him to leave.

"Hey what's this, this was the large piece of the roast beef?" said Peter.

"Well that's quite odd" replied Lois, "I could have sworn I gave it to you."

"Well, I don't want to complain, though whoever or whatever took some of my vegetables away, I say thanks" added Stewie.

"Oh great, Stewie's missing some of his vegetables, he's a growing boy, he needs his food" said Lois.

"Er, I don't want to alarm anyone, but the evil monkey and I have been talking and we think there might be ghosts haunting the house" said Chris.

"Oh that's ridiculous" said Lois, "ghosts don't come into a house for no reason."

"Well, I don't know what is, but I think we better call in an expert on this" replied Brian.

Things would only get even more stranger as the evening went on. The wires of the televisions that were hooked into the walls of the house would be re-wired showing no television on where it was suppose to show, but it seemed that "someone" was controlling the television from within the walls. It would later be such a concern, that Peter would have to call in his neighbors to eventually come in to help out, where one of his neighbors Joe Swanson would know some of his old friends from the force on a government anti-ghost program that could do the job.
