As you remember last time, Jessie found a way to get Sherman back from Ms. Grunion. She called her sister, Jasmine, who was an attorney at law to help get Sherman back from Ms. Grunion in a custody battle. She went to tell Mr. Peabody the great news, but he denied ever carign about Sherman and missing him, and he lashed her away.

The following day, the court custody battle had begun. Rocky, Bullwinkle, Jessie, and Jasmine were already there. Just then, Ms. Grunion arrived at the

"Are you ready to lose, furballs?" She mocked them.

"We won't lose Grunion!" Rocky proclaimed "Sherman belongs with us!"

"And where's your little doggy friend?" She asked smugly "Had to go to the groomer?"

"No!" Jessie exclaimed "He'll be here!"

"See you in court." Grunion laughed manically into the court office.

"Is Mr. Peabody really coming Jess?" Bullwinkle asked Jessie.

"I'll call him." She said "You guys go inside."

"I hope he does come." Said Rocky.

"We'll see you inside sis." Said Jasmine.

"Catch up in a sec." Jessie said to her sister and friends.

As soon as Rocky, Bullwinkle, and Jasmine went inside the court house, Jessica called Mr. Peabody.

Mr. Peabody picked up but he didn't want her to think he would come, so he faked a voicemail "You've reached Peabody...at the beep...do whatever."

Jessica could tell Peabody answered, but she wanted him to know something.

"Mr. Peabody..." She spoke into the phone "I'm sorry we argued. Anyways, the gang's all here for the custody battle. I just wanted you to know that if what you're doing is what you think is best for Sherman, then that's okay with me. You and I will always be friends no matter what. Good luck, Mr. Peabody."

Jessica hung up, leaving Mr. Peabody to sigh. He thought, should he help get Sherman back? Or should he just let his pride cloud his emotions? He never really thought of himself as having..feelings and nobody else thought of him having feelings either.

Jessie went back to the others and told them the news.

"How's this gonna work without Mr. Peabody?" Asked Rocky.

"Oh Mr. Peabody." Bullwinkle sobbed in a comical way.

"Hey! This is no laughing matter." Jasmine told the narrator and went to comfort her sister "That's okay little sis, cause we'll do it FOR Mr. Peabody."

"Yes!" Jessie exclaimed "We'll do it FOR Mr. Peabody! We'll go out there and we'll win!"

That raised the gang's enthusiasim

BACK IN COURT...

The custody battle had just started and there were people on both sides: the denfense and the plantiff. Feel free to play court music if you want or at least the Judge Mathis theme music.

"Welcom back to J. Ward Court." Said the judge "I'm Judge Goodman and we need to bring in the defendent and the plaintiff."

Jessica, Rocky, Jasmine, and Bullwinkle arrived into the court.

"Plaintiff, Jessica Kristina LaMour is battling Ms. Edwina Grunion of Child Services for custody of Sherman Julius Peabody." Said the judge "She says that Grunion is discriminating against animals raising humans and that Grunion claims her friends, Rocket J. Squirrel, Bullwinkle Moose, and Mr. Hector James Peabody are unsuitable parents to raise Sherman. But Jessie thinks otherwise. She's battling for Sherman's custody back."

Then, Ms. Grunion arrived into the courtroom.

"Defendant, Ms. Edwina Grunion is fighting to remove Sherman from Mr. Peabody's custody." The Judge continued "She says that Mr. Peabody, Rocky, and Bullwinkle cannot raise Sherman because they're not human. When Jessica heard, she decided to take action."

"All rise!" Said the Baliff.

The entire courtroom stood up.

"Now sit down." The Balliff said again "The honorable Judge Goodman presiding."

The judge came to the stand and banged his gavel.

"This court is now in session." He banged his gavel " The plaintiff, Jessica Kristina LaMour vs. the denfendant, Ms. Edwina Grunion."

Jessie and Jasmine both glared at Ms. Grunion, while Grunion made a menacing look.

"You're going down Grunion!" Jessie made a death glare.

Bullwinkle and Rocky come up onto the stage. Bullwinkle's in a tuxedo and a magician's hat and Rocky's next to him.

Bullwinkle: Hello everyone! Bullwinkle Moose here, today I shall pull a rabbit out of my hat.

Bullwinkle reaches into his hat and a lion comes out.

Bullwinkle tries again and takes out a tiger, then a rhino, and finally, Rocky.
