Author's Note: Hello! It is me, Meitantei Shinku Ran Edogawa, whose former codename three years ago is Time Travelers Unite, and I am back from the grave!

Yeah, yeah...I am back, all improved!

This time, this story will be on major rewrite! That is right! After 3 long years of hiatus in this story, I had finally decided to continue this wonderful story. So much for long hiatus. Well...

I went back on reading this one and I kind of cringed because of how I write before, also with the fact that some of the words are deleted. So much for 14 years old me.

I am sorry for this long hiatus. I lost interest on MPaS and I had to regain it. I was currently addicted to Detective Conan/Case Closed at this moment, that is why I am prioitized DC stories than this, but that does not mean I am going to abandoned it, right?

Also, this story is the reason why I deleted my first DC story, The White Butterfly, because of its similarities. I decided to incorporate the White Butterfly elements in this story.

That anime is a mustwatch if you like Sherlock or mystery genres.

DISCLAIMER: I, Meitantei Shinku Ran Edogawa, doesn't own Mr. Peabody and Sherman. If I own it, there will be a sequel.

NOT EVEN DEATH DO US PART*

PROLOGUE

*SHERMAN'S POV*

It was a cold Sunday morning at the busy city of New York, USA. The city was bustling with liveliness, as the people from all walks of life rushing to and fro, as the cars were annoyingly honking their horns, trying to get out of the traffic. Everyone is very busy.

Except me.

I walked around the city with no purpose in hand, like a man wandering in the middle of nowhere.

I know you want to ask me why I did this. Honestly, I had no idea. It seems like I had the urge to tour around the city, without knowing why.

I stared at the people rushing to and fro. I know that the city New York is one of the busiest cities, of not only the country, but the world. It is normal for a busy city to be bustling with such liveliness.

I looked above and observed that the clouds were darker than usual. I shook my head. I know there were cumulonimbus clouds, so I can predict it was going to rain.

"Sherman..."

Wait! That voice!

"Sherman... why?!"

My eyes widened.

Suddenly, I run as fast as I could, ignoring the cold rain that was starting to pour. I didn't know why, I want to stop, but it seems like my feet has a life of its own.

Eventually I stopped running, panting , as I scanned my surroundings. My face was covered in confusion as I saw where my legs had taken me.

I was at St. Rachel Sanctuary, a private cemetery, which is located in the outskirts of the city.

Yup, I was in a freaking cemetery for goodness' sake.

What's weird is that I am watching a bunch of people meters away from me, mourning at a certain person lied lifelessly on a fancy white coffin, laced with gold trimmings. I raised my eyebrow. Rich people and their fancy stuff...

I was suddenly struck with curiosity. I wanted to see who is inside that coffin. I approached the site with apprehension.

I was still afar, but I can see that the fancy coffin was closed, and that is the reason why I can't see who's inside the coffin. I watched them intently, wondering and asking to myself, "Why am I here in the first place?"

"And why are they familiar to me?"

To be honest, I don't remember what happened to me after my Valentine's date with Penny Peterson, my beautiful and sweet girlfriend. You heard me right, my former arch-enemy-turned-bestfriend was now my loving girlfriend. Strange, huh?

She was my best friend and my childhood crush since first grade. For almost 18 long years, I had successfully hid my feelings for her until her 20th birthday, when I had the courage to tell her about my feelings. I even offered her to become my girlfriend in front of her parents and Mr. Peabody, my canine dad. Fortunately for me, she also confessed her feelings for me at the same time and accepted my proposal. We had become lovers ever since.

Let's go back to the real topic, as I watched the crowd mourning at the person in the coffin, I had spotted a familiar black Mazda, who stopped at the corner of the road. The car door opened, and I gasped, surprised as it revealed a few familiar faces.

"Penny? Mr. Peabody? What the heck are they doing here?" I said loudly, confusion etched in my face, as I saw my beloved girlfriend and Mr. Peabody approached the crowd, Penny clutching a bunch of beautiful white roses. With them are Penny's parents, Paul and Patty, and a few historical figures that I had met in my time travel adventures, who are also Mr. Peabody's close friends, such as Leonardo de Vinci and Sigmund Freud. Even Agemmennon and his new wife Grunion, who we now fully reformed, was there. They all wear white (except for Mr. Peabody,of course) like the crowd who attended the funeral,which confuses and shocks me at the same time.

"What is going on here? Who died? Is it the president? Some one I know?" I mumbled silently as I went closer to them. I stopped and stood beside Penny,who was sitting at one of the white chairs and crying,tears were flowing from her sapphire eyes. She was wearing simple clothes today, she doesn't wear make-up and just wearing a simple white dress and shoes. She was still wearing a headband, but it was also white.

"Penny, are you alright? Why are you crying?" I said as I tried to comfort her. She seems not to notice me, as she was still crying, mumbling to herself, but enough to hear her words,"I am very sorry, Sherman…it is all my fault…You don't deserve this… "

I was stunned when I heard those words left her mouth. Why did she say sorry to me? Did she do anything wrong? What is going on here?

I lifted my hand to touch her beautiful face and tried to wipe her tears that keeps falling from her beautiful sapphire orbs, but my hand seems to pass through her. I was surprised, I took my hand back, watching it funnily.

I blinked once.

Then twice.

Then pinched my face.

Youch!

I am just hallucinating,right?

I shook my head and tried touching her face again, this time with my both hands. I gasped in horror as my both hands slipped through her again.

Then it clicks.

I was so horrified, I stepped backwards and fell down on my but, staring at my hands unbelievably.

I...WAS.. DEAD?!

A million questions suddenly popped out of my head. Am I dead? But I still want to live! I still have hopes and dreams to accomplish! Why do I have to die? WHY NOW?

Penny! I can't leave her alone!

I looked at my hands in horror as a lot of thoughts still clouded my mind. I could not believe this. I am now...

A ghost.

I shook my head erraticly. No!

As I was still staring at my hands, Penny stood out from her seat and she went to the still closed coffin. Mr. Peabody followed her, crystal tears were also falling from his emerald green eyes. They were not in its happy state, as his furry tail and his shoulders were drooped. His big round glasses was fogged because of those tears and the rain that fell down. I was surprised and shock to see him like this, he was usually calm and very reserved. I know Mr. Peabody with all my life, I know his feelings were always hidden in the dark corners of his canine heart. He was the strongest being I know, he is always calm and always has answers to everything.

He politely asked Mason,one of my childfriend friends, to open the coffin. The teenage boy sadly agreed as he went near and slowlynopened the coffin to reveal who it was…

I gasped as tears started to build up on my brown eyes.

No...

It revealed a teenage boy.

Me.

Lying lifelessly on the coffin.

I looked at my own body with disbelief. It couldn't be...

All people looked at the coffin and the body wistfully, Penny was sobbing loudly, as Mr. Peabody closed his eyes.

I was wearing an very expensive white button shirt with a white bowtie on my neck, and white pants. My lifeless body was as pale as a person playing on a computer for days, and my big round specs was still on my pale face, though it was slightly cracked on the sides.

I noticed some bruises on it.

I looked like I was mauled to death or in an accident or something...

Then I paused.

An accident…WAIT A MINUTE!

As if by magic,I can remember now what really happened to me few days ago...

"PENNY, LOOK OUT!"

*CRASH*

"SHERMAN!!!!!!"

It...it was an accident.

It is a silly accident...that started it all...

TO BE CONTINUED...

NEXT CHAPTER! We will now know what happens before all this happens. Stay tuned!

What happens to Sherman? Will he be reunited by his beloved Penny?

Find out on the next installment!

Finally, the first chapter was done! Yipee!

As you can see, there have been changes on the story, and I had been using my current writing style. There is a difference before and now, right?

Don't worry, I try my best to continue this one. But first, I had to rewrite some of my stories that are too...cringy.

Read and Review, people!

With love and kisses,
