A/N: I'm glad so many people like my story, even though it was just one small chapter, so here's another chapter for you guys.
Chapter 2. Sherman Peabody
As the Wonka trucks were leaving the factory, one of the trucks passes by a small, auburn haired boy with glasses, looking on at the factory.
This is the story of an ordinary little boy named Sherman Peabody. He was not stronger, or faster, or more clever than the other kids.
The same boy, named Sherman, leaves the street corner and runs home. Which is only an, old, broken down shack, slanted to one side.
His family was not rich, or powerful, or well connected. In fact, they barely had enough to eat.
Sherman arrives home and goes inside. As he comes home, the sky rapidly change to nighttime.
Sherman Peabody was the luckiest boy in the whole world... he just didn't know it yet.
Inside Sherman's broken down house was Sherman, working on his homework, his mother cooking something up on the stove, and his four grandparents, lying down on a bed in the middle of the cramped house, one of the grandparents actually happens to be a beagle wearing an old pair of glasses and a raggedy red bowtie. As current events were happening, someone comes inside the house, which turns out to be Sherman's father. He greets his fellow family members.
Sherman's father: Evening, Peabodys.
Sherman's mother and grandparents: Good evening.
Sherman: Hi dad.
Sherman's dad walks over to his wife, giving her a kiss.
Sherman's mother: The soup is almost ready, darling. Um... you don't suppose there's nothing extra you can add to the soup?
She then shows her husband the soup she was making for the family, which contained cabbage, cabbage and more cabbage.
Sherman's mom: Oh well. Nothing's better than cabbage except cabbage.
She then chops another cabbage, looking to add that to the all-cabbage soup. Sherman's dad sits down next to Sherman, who looks at him with a smile. His dad begins to search his pockets for a little surprise for his son.
Sherman's dad: Sherman. I think I have something you'll like.
He then pulls out a few toothpaste caps, all dented and damaged.
...
Sherman's father worked at the local toothpaste factory, putting on the caps for all the toothpaste tubes
Sherman's dad was screwing on the caps to each tube. It was a horrible job, but it was the only job he could acquire.
The hours were long, and the pay was terrible. But occasionally, there were a few surprises...
He picked up a cap which was strangely two caps, fused together. He looks at the cap, smirks, makes sure no one was looking, and hides the cap in his pocket.
...
Sherman picks up that same piece, looking at it. He then speaks up.
Sherman: This is exactly what I needed.
His dad smiled knowing he somehow made his son happy. Sherman then pulls out a replica of the giant chocolate factory in town, made of nothing but toothpaste caps. Sherman's canine grandfather, Grandpa Hector Peabody, looks at Sherman's creation in curiosity.
Grandpa Hector: What is it, Sherman?
Sherman: Dad found it! The missing piece!
Grandpa Hector: What piece was it?
Sherman puts the cap on top of a body-like structure, forming the head.
Sherman: Its a head for Willy Wonka.
Grandma Josephine: It looks marvelous.
Grandpa Hector: Wow. That's quite a likeness.
Sherman: You think so?
Grandpa Hector: I know so. I once saw him with my own two eyes. I used to work for him you know.
Sherman: You did?
Grandpa: Hector: I did
Grandma Josephine: He did.
Grandpa George: He did.
Grandma Georgina: I love grapes.
Grandpa Hector: Of course... I was a younger dog back then...
Sherman: Can I hear some stories, Grandpa?
Grandpa Hector: Of course.
So Sherman sat down next to Grandpa Hector, preparing to listen to his stories about Willy Wonka.
To be Continued...
A/N: Since school started, it will be difficult to bring out updates to all my stories including this one. However. Whenever I have the time, I will provide a new chapter to any story I choose..
I know. Mr. Peabody is now Sherman's grandfather instead of his father. This creative change won't affect any MPaS fans whatsoever. I hope. Hehehe.
Fun Fact: When choosing a director for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", at one time, Warner Bros. considered Rob Minkoff, the director of "Mr. Peabody and Sherman", to direct the film. Eventually, they chose Tim Burton to direct. Who knew?
So don't expect a new chapter soon. Please bear with me. I'll update as best as I can. Don't kill me!
