What this all means is that your brother is probably right.
Your vine will produce something but you don't know what.
I will likely be green like your bro said and may not be
good for anything other than an autumn display. In any
case, you can keep the vine around as an experiment if you
are curious. If you want or expect actual pumpkins then
you would destroy it.

ok, WHY would it likely be green?

Equally good question: Why would it NOT be green? Pumpkins have been
successfully cross-pollinated with other types of squash. Obviously, this is
less likely to be done by bees than by people experimenting in a closed
greenhouse, but you shouldn't suggest that it's impossible.
