As the chapter's name suggests, this is only an extra, that's why it's short.


Penny chased Sherman around the dining room table. At least it was really her this time.

"Come on Sherman, stop running!" She said. Sherman, however, didn't stop, afraid of yet another session with her.

"No! Please! Have mercy on me!" He said as he ran around the table, with Penny still chasing him. After about some laps around the table, he tripped. He rolled onto his back, and saw Penny glaring at him.

"Tell me the truth Sherman, or else!" She bent down and put her hands on his shoulders. He didn't have any other choice, there was no escape.

"O-okay! I will, but p-please help me up." All the energy was drained from him because of his fear.

"Okay, fine." When she helped him up, he noticed that he didn't feel cold anymore when she held his hand. She doesn't talk as crazy as awhile ago too…

"So you want the truth?" she nodded. The look on Sherman's face made her nervous. W-what if Sherman found… a better friend than me? She frowned to herself.

"Y-yes Sherman."

"Okay. The truth is, you were the one who kept hugging me."

Penny blushed. "D-don't talk nonsense Sherman! If I was the one who hugged you… I would remember it…" she said the last few words rather softly, and the blush on her face became more noticeable. She twiddled her fingers behind her.

"But it's true! Well, not really. But it is!" Penny became confused.

"What are you trying to say?"

"You got taken over by the ghost in the doll. You remember the doll right?" he asked her. She nodded.

"The one you thought of as cute but it turned out to be some kind of evil doll that had a ghost inside!" He said this very quickly, in just one breath.

Penny thought it made sense, since she couldn't remember anything after what happened in Sherman's room. But she also realized something else.

She blushed so hard. Her cheeks were so red. "Uhh Penny, are you okay?" He waved his hand in front of her face.

"S-so i-it was… r-really me?" She tried to look away from his face, the blush never leaving her face.

"Well not really, it was the ghost. But the ghost became you. So it was 'you', but not you." There was a brief moment of silence. Sherman confused himself. What am I even saying?! Penny also became confused. Sherman tried again.

"Okay… you got taken over by the doll ghost, and that's when 'you' started to chase me around and hug me a lot."

"Oh… I get it now." She smiled.

"So ummm, are we okay now Penny?"

"Sure Sherman."

"Okay. I'll just talk to Mr. Peabody about what happened then." She nodded, and Sherman headed to where Mr. Peabody is.

When Penny was left alone in the dining area, she talked to herself. She sat on one of the chairs.

"I can't believe it! Of all the people to like Sherman, it had to be a ghost! Worst of all, she had to take over me!"

She finally decided to get a snack, and headed to the kitchen.

What a night this turned out to be.
