I'm loving this story.  It's hard not to make comparisons with the series.  Brian has his mom and sister on his side.  Claire has Peter and Sammy rather than John and Peter.  Lindsay and Gus.  Ted is the Mayor and Todd is his cousin.  Now just guessing Justin knows Emmett and Mikey back in Pittsburgh and Daphne lives in Pheonix.  I'm hoping that even when Justin leaves to go see Daphne he comes back.
