I don't own the cover image.

Hello readers! Looks like I've decided to actually make a third story. This is my first story ever with more than one chapter, and I hope that you'll like it!

Penny was over at Mr. Peabody and Sherman's penthouse just to enjoy the day as she found it boring to stay at home, with her parents being busy and all. She also ate lunch there because she arrived there just minutes before noon.

What the trio first did was watch some movies together. Sherman really liked the last movie they watched.

The credits rolled in the TV screen.

"They're so cool! It's amazing how they used their Kung Fu moves to defeat the bad guys! Especially how he used it to deflect the cannon balls! I wonder when the third one will come out…"

Penny chuckled, and asked, "Already thinking about the second sequel Sherman?"

"Well I searched it up and they said that the next one will show next year." He replied.

"But the original date was supposed to be some days before Christmas this year." He frowned. "I hate it when things get delayed."

Mr. Peabody chuckled. "Well, we can use the WABAC to travel into the future, but we're going to have to risk our lives again."

Sherman shuddered at the thought of having to do that again.

"It's okay Mr. Peabody, I can wait."

The credits finally stopped rolling, thus ending their almost 5 hour movie marathon. The clock now read 7:00 PM.

They went to the dining room to eat dinner. Penny and Sherman sat down while Mr. Peabody headed to the kitchen to start cooking.

While waiting for Mr. Peabody to finish cooking, Penny asked Sherman, "Hey Sherman, do you think ghosts are real?"

"Why'd you ask that all of a sudden?" he looked at her, a little surprised by this seemingly out of nowhere question.

"Well we did watch one movie that involved ghosts, so I just got curious about it."

"Hmm… I'm not sure, maybe we can ask Mr. Peabody."

Mr. Peabody finished cooking and brought the food to the dining table.

"Here's our dinner for tonight, enjoy." He took off his chef's hat.

They all started eating their delicious dinner.

After dinner, Sherman remembered Penny's question and asked Mr. Peabody about it.

"Hey Mr. Peabody, Penny asked me awhile ago if ghosts are real. Umm are they?"

Mr. Peabody replied to them. "Yes, they are real, proven from my own encounter."

Penny and Sherman were shocked to hear this. "Whoa! You've encountered ghosts before Mr. Peabody?" Sherman asked him.

"Yes Sherman. Those spirits can also inhabit or attach themselves to any object, usually old ones."

Sherman and Penny got a little terrified at this. What if there are ghosts in my old PS3 controller? Who wouldn't be scared of that?! As ridiculous as it may sound, Sherman still found the thought of having ghosts in his controller scary. Then he frowned. Maybe that's why the X button broke so fast! They've been pressing it while I was sleeping! Now that one was just ridiculous, unless ghosts also liked playing.

"Oh great now I'm scared of ancient artifacts." He said.

The three then burst into laughter.

"Don't worry Sherman, from my experience, ghosts aren't really dangerous." The beagle reassured the two kids.

The phone from the kitchen suddenly rang.

"I'll get it." He went to the kitchen to answer the phone.

"So ghosts ARE real then." Penny said.

"Well at least there's none here." Sherman replied.

"I hope you're right." The girl replied.

Mr. Peabody went back to the dining room and frowned.

"I'm sorry kids but I have to go."

Both of the kids became sad.

"Where are you going Mr. Peabody?" Sherman asked him.

"I'm going to meet up with my friend for something urgent." He replied.

"Another meeting?"

"Sorry about this kids, but I'll be back as soon as I can." He proceeded to the elevator and waved at the two. They returned the gesture.

"So Sherman, what do you want to do?" She looked at him and asked him.

"Let's play some games in my room."

"Okay." They went to Sherman's room.

They were playing this co-op zombie game in Sherman's laptop. Two controllers were connected to the laptop through a Bluetooth dongle. Thanks to Mr. Peabody, Sherman figured out how to do that, so that cables won't be needed anymore, that is until they have to charge it.

"Penny watch out!"

Penny panicked to get away from the incoming zombie, but it was too late. Her player was dead. Sherman couldn't revive her either.

"Noooooo!" She put the controller on the table. She watched Sherman play on his own.

"Come on Sherman you know you CAN'T do it." She teased him. She just wanted to play with him again.

"Wow thanks for that wonderful support Penny." He said sarcastically and rolled his eyes.

"Tell me when you die so I can play again."

He paused the game.

"Ha! I've played this game for a long time and I know all the tricks to reach the end! I'm not gonna die!" He smirked.

"Fine I'll just play something else." She started walking around his room, looking for something else to do.

When she was at the corner of the room, she found a plastic storage box.

"Hey Sherman can I open this box?" She was curious of what was inside.

"Yeah Penny go ahead." He replied, his eyes never leaving the laptop screen.

When she opened it, all she saw were toys. She dug down to see the other toys beneath. She saw this cute looking doll, but it looked rather dirty. She picked it up.

"Yes! I finished it! I told you Penny!" He stood up and cheered at his victory.

"Uhmm Sherman, is this doll yours?"

Sherman looked to where she was, and saw the doll in her hands.

"Oh that? Someone gave that to me when Mr. Peabody and I used the WABAC to help some people back in the early 1920s."

"Oh, so that's why it looks old..."

She stroked the hair of the doll.

"But it's so cute!"

Suddenly, she felt as if the doll had moved on its own. She looked at the doll. What the?

"What's wrong Penny?" She looked at Sherman. The two kids didn't notice that the doll's eyes glowed a shade of blue for half a second.

"I think the doll...j-just moved."

"But that's impossible!" He thought about it for a moment, then he realized something. "Unless..." He gasped.

"U-unless what Sh-Sherman?" She was starting to get scared now.

"Remember what Mr. Peabody told us about...ghosts in old objects?" He gulped in fear.

Penny got what Sherman was trying to say, and dropped the doll in fear.

The doll started to move by itself. It suddenly floated in mid-air. The two kids screamed.

"WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Sherman screamed. Penny agreed and followed him as they headed for the door.

Sherman tried to open the door, but it won't open.

"It's not opening!" He kept on turning the knob but it still won't open.

"We're trapped!" Penny said.

They were cowering beside the wall. All of a sudden, the lights turned off.

The two kids just did the worst thing to do in a situation like this. They panicked, and ran around the room screaming.

Neither of them can see anything. Sherman stopped running and tiptoed, but tripped backwards, with most of the impact being on his head. He slowly started to zone out, and soon, he fainted. The last words he heard were Penny calling his name and asking where he was, but they sounded distant and muffled.

"Sherman!...Where are you!...Sherman!..."

A few minutes have passed. Sherman slowly regained consciousness, and slowly opened his eyes. He noticed that the lights were back on. Maybe the ghost is gone... but where's... Penny! He saw Penny also lying down on the floor, seemingly unconscious. He quickly got up and went to her.

"Penny? Penny!" He shook her shoulder but she didn't respond. She must've hit her head too...

He gathered up all his strength and carried Penny bridal style to the living room sofa. He sat beside her and waited for her to wake up. He didn't want to stay in his room any longer, afraid that the ghost might actually still be there.

It wasn't in his room anymore, it was somewhere else in the penthouse, or rather...someone. Uh-oh...

There were some Easter eggs here. :)

See you in Chapter 2!
