Sherman happily skipped down the hallway of his school with his friend Penny Peterson. They went into their class room and sat down in seats right next to each other and started chatting. The bell rang
"Hello class, I would like to present your new class mate Judy Hendrickson, The teacher declared, say hello Judy."
"Hi..." said a small meek voice as a brown haired girl with a velvet dress and black shoes stepped in the room.
"WOW," Sherman thought as he stared wide eyed at the girl, "she's beautiful."
"Psst Sherman", Penny said noticing that Sherman was staring, "why are you looking at her like that?"
Sherman didn't reply.
"Humph fine them." Penny said sticking up her nose pretending like she didn't care.
"Did you say something Penny?" Sherman asked.
"No." Penny quickly replied sticking up her nose once more.
Lunch came and as Sherman walked with Penny to the cafeteria he spotted Judy.
"Hey Penny want to ask Judy to sit with us?" Sherman said.
"No not really I kind of wanted us to sit alone," Penny said firmly.
"Um ok then," Sherman said
"Hi Sherman," Judy said.
"Oh hi Judy," Sherman replied, "how did you know my name?"
"Role call... remember at the beginning of class," Judy said.
"AHEM", Penny said, realizing she was being ignored.
"Oh sorry Penny," Sherman said.
"Hey want to eat lunch with me Sherman?" Judy said. "Alone?"
"Um actually Sherman and I are eating lunch together," penny protested.
"I was talking to Sherman," Judy said in a mean way.
"Seeing the two girls obviously weren't getting along Sherman offered a compromise," Lets all sit together perhaps?
"Fine." Said both girls gazing with deep glares into each other's eyes.
"Hey Sherman there's a table over there," Judy said, grabbing Sherman's arm and pointing over left.
"No I think the one over here is better," Penny said, grabbing Sherman's other arm and pointing right.
"Uhhhh...," Sherman stuttered realizing he really didn't know what to do.
Quickly he slipped both his arms free and said, "Let's just sit down here."
As the day progressed Sherman was too dumbfounded about what happened to pay attention to school.
"Hello Sherman," Mr. Peabody said, "and how was school?"
"Uh... good I guess," Sherman replied.
"Is something wrong Sherman?" Mr. Peabody questioned.
"No I'm fine, just Penny was acting weird today." Sherman replied.
"I wonder why," Mr. Peabody said, "anyway what you want to do for your birthday tomorrow."
"Oh!" Sherman thought, he almost completely forgot his birthday was tomorrow, "Um I want to have a birthday party and invite my friends from school and have it in our penthouse."
"Ok that can be arranged," said Mr. Peabody smiling, finally seeing his son back to his proper self, "So who do you want to invite?"
"Um," Sherman pondered for a minute then started listing off names, "Carl, Penny, Billy, Patrick, Sally, Bobby, Lydia, Jayden, Trixie, Oh and Judy."
"Judy?" Mr. Peabody asked.
"Oh she's new; this will be a good chance for her to make friends". Sherman said blushing a little bit.
"Oh I see what's going on;" Mr. Peabody said with a sly grin, "you like another girl."
"ANOTHER?!" Sherman yelled very surprised, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN ANOTHER?!"
Mr. Peabody laughed, "I thought you liked Penny."
What?! Well I guess a little...WAIT! How'd you know? Sherman yelled.
"It's kind of obvious the way you act around her, and I'm no expert, well actually I am, but I would say she likes you back and her seeing you show interest to another girl problem makes her jealous." Mr. Peabody said.
"Oh that would explain why she seemed..." Sherman's voice trailed off into thought, "whatever." He said, "I'm not that lovable."
They arrived at the penthouse at 3:15.
"Hey Mr. Peabody can we go somewhere in the WABAC?" Sherman said.
"Not where Sherman when and I don't see why not." Mr. Peabody replied.
They stopped on the floor where the WABAC was and set the dial for 1515 where Leonardo paints the Baptist. Wossh went the WABAC as it zipped throughout space and time. They stooped in Venice Italy where they meet Leonardo.
"Ah ello a pea-a-body you came at an unsuspected time-a what is it you are looking a for," Leonardo decaled.
"Oh the youngster just wanted to go on an adventure." Mr. Peabody replied with a smile.
Time passed as Sherman used some of Leonardo's colorful paints to make a beautiful picture of an ocean.
"Time to go home Sherman." Mr. Peabody said
"Ok." Sherman declared.
They set the WABAC for the proper time and wosshed back. They ate dinner and Sherman got ready for bed.
"Mr. Peabody," Sherman said, "can you tell me a story?"
"Of course Sherman," Mr. Peabody replied as he started the story, "once upon a time there was a girl named Joy she had two sisters Josie and Julie. They found a door the lead to a room full of doors each door had a different letter A-Z. Joy said; let's go into the A-room. So they opened the door and went on..."
Mr. Peabody heard heavy breathing as he look at his son who was fast asleep. "I love you Sherman," Mr. Peabody said, softly stroking Sherman's soft obran hair he softly kissed him on the forehead and left to go to bed.
Early next morning Sherman woke up to a delightful smell (it was a Saturday so he didn't have school) he got out of bed brushed his teeth and didn't bother to get dressed he happily hopped down the stairs.
"Good morning Mr. Peabody," he said.
Ding dong.
"I'll get it," Sherman said. He skipped over to the elevator and as the doors opened Sherman saw Judy.
"Hi Sherman happy birthday!" She said.
"WHAT!? HOW DID YOU KNOW WHERE I LIVE AND HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY?!" Sherman yelled very surprised.
"Who is there?" Mr. Peabody asked from the kitchen.
"Oh uh just the mailman." Sherman said, "Quickly run into my room my dad won't really like it if he finds out that my friend came over uninvited." He quickly grabbed Judy's arm as they ran into his room.
"Ok Sherman time for breakfast," Mr. Peabody said.
Sherman walked over to see a huge gourmet breakfast buffet of huge waffles, Pancakes, sausage, and bacon and much more.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERMAN! He looked around to see all his friends!"
"Oh... so that's why Judy came," Sherman thought, "Thanks guys I'm going to go change in my room be right back". Said the embarrassed Sherman because the all saw him in his pajamas.
He ran to his room and opened the door Judy was there sitting on his bed.
"Hi Sherman," Judy said.
"Ok now I know why and how you came, you got an invitation right?" Sherman questioned.
"Yep," she said, "I was trying to tell you before you pulled me in your room."
"Ok," he replied, "well you can go to the kitchen everyone else is there I'm going to get dressed."
"Ok!" She said, happily skipping out of Sherman's room into the kitchen.
She looked around to see everyone talking. "Hi everyone! She said in a very happy tone. Hi Carl. Hi Billy. Hi Patrick.
Hi Sally. Hi Liyra. Hi Bobby. Hi Jayden. Hi Trixie."
"What about Penny?" Mr. Peabody asked.
"Oh Hi penny." She said in a mean flat tone turning her back and crossing her arms.
"Hi everyone." Sherman said, running into the room.
"Happy birthday!" Another loud roar of young voices bellowed.
"Help you yourself to the food we will play some games, and movies later, and we will do cake and presents last." Mr. Peabody said.
They all got food and sat down at the table.
"So Penny..., Sherman said, what was up yesterday? You were acting kind of weird." Sherman was asking but really he knew he just wanted to hear what Penny said.
"Um.. I don't know... I don't really like Judy." She replied.
"NO! REALLY?!" Sherman said trying to act like he didn't know, "I HAD NO IDEA!"
"Nice try Sherman." Penny said laughing a little.
"Hey Sherman," said Bobby, "come here."
The two boys ran off.
"Hi Judy," Penny said.
"Maybe we can be friends." She thought
"What do you want?" Judy replied sticking up her nose.
"Maybe we can be friends, someone once told me that when you don't like a person it's because they remind of something you don't like about yourself." Penny said.
"Well that can't be true because I don't like you but I love me." Judy replied swiftly turning and walking away.
"Wow," Penny thought, "is that how I used to act?"
"Ok every time for the games," Mr. Peabody said.
They finished the games and movies and had cake. Sherman opened the presents. His favorite present was from Carl, it was science experiment kit.
As people left Judy approached Sherman, "I had a great time." She said.
"Oh... ha ha ha great," Sherman said blushing.
"Oh well my dad's here." Judy said, "Maybe we could go to the mall or to the park sometime."
"Oh uh YEAH!" Sherman said excitedly.
"Bye," she said running off.
"Does that mean she wants to go on a..." "HI SHERMAN!" Penny yelled completely ruining Sherman's train of thought.
"Hey Penny, what's up?" He replied." Well I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my house on Monday after school." Penny happily said.
"Oh ok I tell you on Monday at school if I can but I'll have to ask Mr. Peabody." Sherman replied.
"Ok my parents are here so I have to go see you at school!" Penny said running off.
"Ok Sherman everyone's gone... what do you want to do now?" Mr. Peabody said.
"Nap!" Sherman said, plopping down on the couch closing his eyes.
"Ok", Mr. Peabody said, getting a pillow and blanket for Sherman, "I have a surprise for you tonight though so I'll wake you up in an hour." He said softly.
But Sherman was already asleep. It seemed like only a few seconds that he was asleep before Mr. Peabody's fuzzy warm paws were lightly shaking him awake.
"Come on wake up Sherman," Mr. Peabody said, "Brush your hair and teeth and meet me in the WABAC in ten minutes.
"Ok," Sherman said groggily getting up.
Ten minutes later Sherman came running to the elevator and down to the WABAC where he saw Mr. Peabody.
"Where are we…. I mean when are we going Mr. Peabody?" Sherman said.
"Not where Sherman Whe… oh you said it right that time. Mr. Peabody said surprised. "Well anyway we are going to the French Revolution to get some cake to take home and then I will make whatever you want for dinner and we will spend the rest of the night together watching a movie or whatever you want to do."
"Ok that sounds great!" Sherman said in reply.
