Well looks like it's time for another amazing adventure featuring that super sonic sppedster, Rocket J. Squirrel and his best pal Bullwinkle J. Moose, Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman, and their beautiful comrade Jessica. And a host of others.

Our story opens today in Frostbite Falls where we see Mr. Peaody enjoying a nice, relaxing day in the backyard by the pool.

"What a marvelous day." Peabody said "Nothing can ruin this nice, summer day, not at all."

Just then, something hit his head. It was a frisbee.

"Mr. Peabody! Mr. Peabody!" Sherman ran up to his master.

"What is it Sherman?" Peabody asked "Can't you see I'm trying to relax?"

"Let's play fetch!" Sherman picked up the frisbee.

"Very well Sherman." Peabody picked himself up "You are a boy and you do need time to play and be a companion."

"Hooray!" Sherman jumped for joy.

"Fetch Sherman!" Peabody tossed the frisbee and Sherman caught it in the air and brought it back to Peabody.

"I got it Mr. Peabody." Sherman raised the frisbee in the air.

"Good boy Sherman." Peabody gave Sherman a cookie and Sherman ate it.

Just then, Bullwinkle came running out of the door. He had a letter in his hand.

"I won! I won! I won! I won!" Bullwinkle chanted.

"You won what Bullwinkle?" Rocky asked.

"I won the 101 Uses for Mooseberries contest, and I've won a free trip to China for five." Bullwinkle explained.

"That's amazing Bullwinkle." Rocky said.

"It's pretty fantastic." Added Sherman.

"And quite commendable." Peabdoy finished.

Rocky took the letter from Bullwinkle's hands "Hokey smoke! This offer expires in five days, we'd better pack our bags NOW!"

"I couldn't have said better myself Rock!" Bullwinkle ran upstairs to pack his gloves.

"Mr. Peabody, why don't we invite Jessica?" Sherman asked "We have one more ticket."

"I couldn't have said it better myself my boy." Peabody trotted to Jessica's house "Come along Sherman."

Mr. Peabody and Sherman had arrived at Jessica's house, Sherman rang the doorbell. Jessica opened the door.

"Hi Jessica." Mr. Peabody got a big doofy grin.

"Hello." Sherman waved to Jessica.

"Hi Mr. Peabody. Hi Sherman." Jessica leaned down and kissed Sherman's cheek.

"Um uh, Jessica we are going on a trip to China and we were wondering if, you'd like to come along." Peabody said nervously.

"Sure, I'd love to." Jessica said "When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow." Peabody finished.

"Oh um, well I guess I'd better get packing. Bye Mr. Peabody." She shook Peabody's hand "Bye Sherman." She quickly kissed Sherman on the lips and ran inside to pack her bags.

MEANWHILE...

That late night, deep in a rinky dink motel downtown Frostbite Falls, were those two no goodnik Pottsylvanian spies, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale, arch enemies of our heroes.

"We have it Fearless Leader," Boris said through a video phone "We have stolen the Golden Cat Statue from Frostbite Falls Museum."

"We will have it in China for you by tomorrow." Natasha said.

"You'd better Badenov." Fearless Leader said "Transmission over."

"Just think Natasha, soon enough we will have gotten promotions and the Treasure of Fu Sang Long will be as good as ours." Boris cackled.

"I like way you think Boris dollink." Natasha cackled back.

EARLY IN THE MORNING...

Later, early in the morning, at 4 am to be exact, Rocky, Bullwinkle, Sherman, Mr. Peabody, and Jessica had woken up and drove to the airport. Jessica hadn't been done brushing her hair or putting on her makeup, so she decided to do it on the plane.

"Continue getting ready Jessica, don't mess up your precious face." Mr. Peabody gave a doofy grin.

Sitting in the row next to them, were those two no goodniks Boris and Natasha with the Golden Cat Statue in a blue suitcase.

"Say Sherman." Peabody pointed out "That man has a suitcase just like yours."

"He sure does Mr. Peabody." Sherman nodded.

In the next row, were those fiendish spies, Boris and Natasha who took note of the people next to them.

"Boris it's moose, squirrel, dog, boy, and girl." Natasha whispered "We must not take any chance with them."

"Right Natasha." Boris said "We only have to lay low until flight is over and we reach China."

After a whole day of flying and ears popping, the plane had finally reached the airport in Shanghai. Rocky, Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody, Sherman, and Jessica had been at the baggage claim.

"Alright Sherman, there is your suitcase." Peabody told his boy.

"Boris, there is suitcase with Golden Cat Statue." Natasha pointed to an identical suitcase.

The tags fell off the bags, so it was hard to tell who's bag belonged to who. Sherman and Boris got nervous so they randomly picked up the first bags that came to mind and Boris ran back to his partner. Sherman went back to his owner and friends.

"Mr. Peabody, that man with the identical suitcase looked familiar." Sherman said.

"It is true Sherman, his face did look similar to someone we know, but I digress." Peabody snapped his fingers "Come along Sherman, time to go to the hotel."

While Mr. Peabody, Sherman, Rocky, Bullwinkle, and Jessica went to the hotel, Boris and Natasha went to the building where they were to meet Fearless Leader.

"We have it Fearless Leader." Boris handed Fearless Leader the case "The Golden Cat Statue is as good as yours."

"Finally." Fearless Leader opened the box to find clothes, a spare pair of glasses, and a toothbrush and toothpaste.

"WHAT IS THIS?!" Fearless Leader roared. "THIS IS NOT THE STATUE! WHERE IS IT?!"

"There must have been mix up at the airport." Natasha explained "Boris must've taken boy's suitcase."

"Boy?" Fearless Leader asked "As in boy who is raised by moose, squirrel, and dog? That BOY?!"

"Yes that boy." Boris said.

"BADENOV!" Fearless Leader roared "YOU MUST FIND MOOSE AND SQUIRREL AND DOG AND BOY! AND GET STATUE BACK!"

"Yes Fearless Leader!" Boris and Natasha saluted.
