Sherman had left the school after a busy day in here. Mason and Carl appeared and said funnily.
"Hey Sherman!" – Mason said.
"Hey." – Sherman replied – "What are you doing here?"
"Did you think Penelope had rethought about you so fast?" – Carl told – "Did she have a crush on you, Sherman?"
"Actually… no." – Sherman answered – "We're friend, and we may answer this question when we are teenagers."
"Teenagers? That's too long!" – Mason was disappointed.
"I know, right? But no time to ask, guys. Thank you." – Sherman walked out. Mason and Carl then left too.
But about Penny… she looked to Sherman. She had something in her head…

Night…
In a beautiful night, Sherman walked to the Central Park in New York. Mr. Peabody was talking with Tom, Jerry, Spike and The Doraemons' gang, and even arguing about the life of T. E. Lawrence and who launched the Jerusalem Operation in 1917. He took Penny's picture, and asked himself: "Will I… I-I-I-… receive something from her?" "And I shall get the first kiss?" "I don't know… but…"
It was too hard for Sherman. Too hard…
And when he was lonely, he sang a song:
"Years ago, I had a fairytale
I met a girl and she held my hand
She was an arrogant lady
But she like an angel.
And finally I received it
She came to kiss me
And I woke up, and I saw the dream
She was just a shadow…
My first love had gone so fast
I always dreamed about…
Wish that I could meet again
But she will never show up…
Because she just a dream…
And she only showed up in here
If she'd been real, she would have been with me
And I will marry her…
And I will… get it…
Because…
She was my favorite…
AAnnn… ggggeeeeellllllll…"
That song was definitely so sad for Sherman. He felt that he would never see the real love. Sherman had a huge crush on Penny, but Penny did not answer yet. So Sherman continued this lonely feeling, in the park…
Suddenly…
"Wonderful song, Sherman."
It was not Mr. Peabody voice, or anyone else in New York. It wasn't from Mr. Peabody visitors. It was not Penny, or Sherman's friends. It was a man, of Welsh accent.
"Who are you?" – Sherman questioned.
"My name is for my friends." – he answered – "And like I said, none of my friend is a murderer."
"You look… so familiar." – Sherman continued.
"It's too hard right?" – he smiled, but he was still hiding in the dark – "And you have forgot a question…"
"Oh… how did you know my name?" – Sherman felt strange, and he just said: "It's so long now, boy, since my last appearance. I had promised that I would leave if you got married to someone you love. But… I couldn't keep it…"
He looked so sad, but he didn't show his face. Sherman kept suspecting about him, so Sherman came closer. But he warned…
"Do not touch me, Sherman. You shall never touch on me."
Sherman turned afraid. He didn't want to disturb that guy. But then, the man said: "But do not be afraid about the other. I had invited one of your friends to you, Sherman. A girl, with same age. She made me remember to a girl in my life." And then, from the dark, she appeared… And…
"Penelope?" – Sherman was surprised.
"Sherman?" – Penny was amazed. She heard Sherman's song all: "I love your song, Sherman. And… you just call me… arrogant?"
"Well… it was… it was…" – Sherman wanted to protect, but Penny blushed: "It's okay, Sherman. I was. But now, I feel…" Penny couldn't hold her emotion, so she came close and touch on Sherman's hands: "Will you dance with me next week?" Then, Sherman nodded with a red face: "Aa… aa… aagggr… agree." And they both wanted to share their lips.
"I saw everything, Sherman." – suddenly the guy before said – "I also wanted it, but I could not go if I didn't see your wedding. I'd promised to make a wedding for you, my brother."
"My… my… my wedding?" – Sherman felt surprise, but the most surprise was about the man's last words: "My brother? How did you know? I did not have any relationship with you."
"Yes, we hadn't had a same blood. But my dad had adopted you when you were a baby. Sherman, was your name…" – he said.
"I was named Sherman from Mr. Peabody." – Sherman tried, but that man explained: "It was from the past, Sherman, more then the current. Mr. Peabody huh, I'd trained his grandfather so long, to build Mr. Peabody the wonderful like today. Without me, he is just a dog."
Sherman and Penny were very surprised more. Then, Penny asked: "You know a lot about Sherman, so who are you?" He smiled: "I was in Arabia. I crushed the Turks, and brought the land to Arabs today. But who am I? Only Sherman could understand I." Sherman felt more suspicious, so he posed his last question: "You're not from this time, right?"
"You are right, Sherman. But I cannot rest if you do not marry to your love. Who is your love, Sherman?"
"I think… Penny. Yes, she is my favorite love." – Sherman didn't want to answer, but this time he blushed more. He smiled: "If you marry her, I'll leave, and be in peace for my life. But must be a real love, okay, brother?" Sherman almost cried: "So… so… who are you, my brother?"
With this situation, he decided to show his identify, before he turned into the dark and never looked back: "I, I was born in Wales, Britain. I had adopted your ancestor as my brother. I came to Beirut and learnt Arabic, Turkish. I led the Arabs against the Turks, and finally, I came back home, and stayed until the incident killed me at the age of 46. I'm Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia, your brother, and the British Arab in Arabia."
"LAWRENCE OF ARABIA?" – Sherman was shocked – "LAWRENCE, WHY?" The man named Lawrence only smiled: "One day, you'll know why. But… will you love Penny forever?"
"I promise, Lawrence! I PROMISE!" – Sherman tried to get close, but Lawrence then said: "Sorry, Sherman. I've to go. We still can face someday…" And the man, Lawrence of Arabia, had gone… left only a photo…
"Lawrence, you're my brother?"
Then, Penny came close. She did not quite understand, but then, she said: "I-I-… so Sherman, who was Lawrence of Arabia?" Sherman took the photo, when he, Sherman, and the British troops were in Palestine, 1918. He knew why, so he said:
"Penny… do you truly… love me?"
"Really?" – Penny wanted to blush – "Well… of course, Sherman." They then touched the lips, again, but this time, was a kiss. Now, they thought about the man, the thunder of Arabia. Penny and Sherman, they would keep that promise, because… Lawrence very wanted to be in peace…
"I do, Lawrence. I do."
Lawrence of Arabia has returned. Sherman and Penny will keep this promise? Well… only future can say… But definitely, I love ShermanXPenny. They are a cute couple. And I love Lawrence of Arabia, too.
