Hello. I am writing based on my story of 'reunion' so basically rewriting it. This is inspired on the song Stay by Carol Banawa (revised by: Daryl Ong) I really recommend listening to the song, especially the revised version.
Disclaimer: I do not own the movie, Mr. Peabody and Sherman
Prologue:
.
.
Sherman stared unblinkingly at the wooden bench from the top of the fountain as an autumn leaf swirled from the huge beech tree, its straying red leaf reminded him of someone who is dear to him, she was like the red leaf, she had strayed from him. The leaf strayed and was never to return to it's once bearer, it would wilt and crunched up on the soil, long forgotten. But she was not forgotten, she was long remembered, at least by him and his father.
She had found a way into his once secured heart, now she was gone. Sherman can only could hope that she will come back to him. He could care less that his clothes became soggy from the fountain, his heart was like a big sack of soggy mess, no one but her can remedy. He would just sit there and stare at the bench and reflect over the years. But he was here just to hope. He has to hold on hope...
She was his best friend, no, she is his best friend. She has lovely pale blonde hair, crystalline blue eyes and has a big attitude, but he loves her the way she is. Her name was Penny, Penny Elizabeth Peterson.
Flashback: (eleven years earlier)
At Susan B. Anthony private school, the speakers and audio system blared with soothing but lively music, students were excited to end the school year for the next year of their lives were high school. The graduation just ended and Sherman as valedictorian. Two figures ran out of the building with their togas flying in the wind, while running they held onto their graduation ceremonial hats. The two graduates laughed and laughed as they scamper to the central park. They sat on a wooden bench under a shade of a blooming beech tree.
Sherman wiped his brow with his white toga sleeve, he sighed and removed the golden medals he recieved. Sherman still chuckling, he immediately silenced when Penny was grimacing, her lips were pulled into a tight line, her eyes were brighter with unshed tears.
"Penny? Are you alright?" Sherman said worriedly
"I am.. alright." She stuttered not looking at Sherman in the eyes
"Penny no you are not alright, I know you better than that. Now tell what's wrong." Sherman tilting his head
"Sherman... I..I." Penny fully facing Sherman, still casting her eyes down to the pavement.
"What is wrong, Pen? You can tell me." Sherman said, wrapping an arm around her. He fondly does that to her all the time.
"Sherman, promise me something." Penny held her gaze
"I will" Sherman said, still confused.
"Promise me that... you and I will meet again." Penny said tearfully. "That you and I will see each other again."
"Wh-hat... I do.. not.." Sherman said, touching the arm of his best friend. Penny kept silent.
"Are y-you... Leaving?" Sherman said softly, finally realizing the truth. He sat there, unmoving, having quiet a shock. Penny nodded mutely, finally letting the emotions out of her. by crying.
"Penny... but...I...I." Sherman stuttered. Penny encircled her arms unto Sherman's neck, she pulled him close, still sobbing. Sherman stiffened at first and relaxed a moment later, he hugged her back.
"I'm so sorry Sherman, so sorry. I wish it can't end like this, but, my grandma needs us..." Penny's voice broke. "Sherman, you have to understand that grandma, ever since grandpa died she never was the same...*sobs* She needs us, Sherman. She need us to go to Canada. "
"No, I understand...I will not be selfish." Sherman said tightening his arms around her.
"I'm so sorry..." Penny burying her head unto Sherman's shoulders.

The best friends' parents sagged their shoulders at the sight of their beloved children crying, saying farewells. Mr. Peabody knew of their 'travel plans'. It saddens him to think that a relationships can be so easily ripped, but can be more easier to restore if it start afresh.
At central park, Mr. Peabody saw his son staring at the same bench for the past eleven years during every Sunday afternoon. It has became a habit for, almost subconsciously his son secluded there just watching that particular bench. He felt sadness everytime he saw his child like this.
Mr. Peabody came to the famed central park to pick up his reflective son, sometimes his son forgets the time, like now, it was six-thirty three in the evening.
"Come Sherman, it's time to go home." Mr. Peabody said, touching his son's shoulders. Sherman nodded, he stood up and smiled at his father. The pair walked down to block and walked along the pavement, the two shared companionable silence.

Sherman, already ate dinner and changed into his pajamas. He sat on his cushioned chair on his personal office, writing on a piece of memo paper.
'One day somebody will hug you so tightly, that it will stick your broken pieces back together again.' Sherman satisfied, he paste the paper on his board, for him remind that to hold on hope that someday Penny will come back, she will come back, she promised him, he would wait. He is not known to the most patient, but he will wait, he will give it all.
Until his best friend would be back.
Hey guys, review please, and this is based on my reunion story which I would be deleting.
