A/N: You thought I abandoned this story?! Ha! No way! I'm back with some more of this!
Now this may be an actual scene from the movie, but in this story, I extended it. So its more of an extended scene to the movie.
Enjoy!
Chapter 9. Backfire
Penny was sitting on her throne enjoying some wild berries dipped in honey as some servants were tending to her every need, which at the moment is fanning her with giant leaves. she seems to be content, that is until Sherman who is now wearing a towel over his waist,a striped towel over his head, and a gold necklace, similar to Penny's. Upon seeing Sherman, Penny gets surprised and spits out a seed, only for a servant to catch it.
Servant: I got it!
Penny: What are you doing here?
But before Sherman could answer, Mr. Peabody walks into the scene wearing the same outfit as Sherman, although without the towel on his waist.
Mr. Peabody: We have come to take you home.
Penny: Ugh! What's the Egyptian word for "tattletale"?
Mr. Peabody: Mufshiasur. But thats beside the point. Get your clothes on. We're going hom.
Penny: Who died and made you pharaoh?
She then gets off her throne, and walks to the side with a few servants folowing her.
Penny: Now! Bring on the mani-pedi!
Sherman: See Mr. Peabody? Impossible!
Mr. Peabody: Indeed Sherman. But watch what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.
Mr. Peabody walks towards the servants crowding over Penny in an attempt to address the girl.
Mr. Peabody: Penny, come here right now! Penny, come!
PPenny: I'm not Penny anymore! now, I'm Princess Hatshepsut, precious flower of the Nile.
Mr. Peabody: Precious? Perhaps. But if you think we're leaving you here, you are most definitely in de-Nile!
Sherman: Hahaha... I don't get it!
Mr. Peabody: Now come along.
Mr. Peabody grabs Penny's hand only for a voice in the distance calls out to him.
Voice: Unhand her!
The source turns out to be King Tut, standing on the backs of two servants waddling towards the group. As he approaches them, two more smaller servants form a small set of stairs for King Tut to easily walk out from.
King Tut: What's the matter my desert blossom? Are these barbarians bothering you?
Penny: As a matter of fact, they are.
King Tut: Bow, barbarians!
Mr. Peabody: As you wish, your highness.
Mr. Peabody and Sherman then kneel down on one knee and bow their heads down, as two different servants comb his side ponytail, attach his chinpiece and headpiece to him as Penny looks at him lovingly, (although it is fake emotions).
Sherman: (whispers) who's that, Mr. Peabody?
Mr. Peabody: That Sherman is the living image of Amun, son of Akhenaten, lord of the 18th dynasry of thr new kingdom, King Tutankhamun. Otherwise known as King Tut.
Penny: My boyfriend.
Upon hearing the word "boyfriend" Sherman quickly stands up.
Sherman: King Tut is your boyfriend?!
Penny: Mmm-hmm
King Tut; Would you like me to have them skinned, covered in honey, and have them laid in a pile of fire ants?
Penny gasps wirwith a surprised look on his face, but quickly diminishes into a lovey-dovey attitude.
Penny: You'd do that for me?
King Tut: Anything my desert flower. Consider it a wedding present.
Sherman: WHAT?! You can't marry this guy!
Penny: Why not?
Sherman: Well for one, his name rhymes with "butt"!
Penny: I don't care. I'm gonna have a big fat Egyptian wedding!
Mr. Peabody then whispers to Penny a simple warning while King Tut and Sherman exchange hateful looks at each other.
Mr. Peabody: Spoiler alert! King Tut dies young. Are you sure you thought this through?
Penny: Oh trust me. I thought it through. I'm getting everything.
Before Mr. Peabody could confront her, another man walks towards them with a proud smile.
Man: The royal astronomers have decreed that the wedding must take place tomorrow, at dawn.
Sherman: Who is he?
Mr. Peabody: He is Ay.
Sherman: He is you?
Ay: I am Ay. The grand vizier.
Mr. Peabody: Yeah that's his name.
Sherman: Oh.
Mr. Peabody: Oh, grand vizier. Will you tell the precious princess precisely what it means to marry the young pharaoh?
Ay: Gladly.
He snaps his fingers to summon a servant who brings him a scroll
Ay: It means that she will be bound to him in eternity through the sacred ceremonies of disembowlment and mummification..
He then unravels the scroll to show Mr. Peabody, Sherman, and (most importantly) Penny a gruesome Egyptian painting of a woman getting her hearts and intestines ripped out of her body.
Ay: ... as described in the Holy Text.
Ay smiles an innocent and convincing smile as if the rituals he described were a walk in the park. Mr. Peabody knows that Penny must know about this, Sherman is way to horrified from what Ay just described, as if he just finished watching a scary movie. As for Penny, she seems to get a picture of what was going to happen, but doesn't believe it.
*pause*
...
Penny: What he just said just has to be one of the most scariest things I have ever heard about.
Sherman: Yeah, you get your guts ripped out and get wrapped up in toilet paper. That's scary alright.
Penny: I was glad I found out about this or else I would be dead by now.
...
*play*
Penny: Uh... hold on a second. Can somebody repeat that? Anyone?
King Tut: What he means, Penny, is that when I die, they'll kill you too. And then they'll rip out your organs, stuff them in canopies jars, and mummification whatever is left.
King Tut also uses fierce hand gestures and an aggressive-ish tone on the addition of explanation for Penny. It also creeps out Sherman. As for Mr. Peabody, he only nods as he knows the Egyptian rituals. This was just enough for Penny to realize that her plan to marry him and inherit all of his riches when he dies has backfired. Of course, now she has a plan B: Bail!
Penny: Okay I'm seeing this now, *takes off her Cleopatra wig and hands it to King Tut* Thank you . I'm gonna go with them.
Penny starts to walk towards Mr. Peabody and Sherman, only to be blocked off by two Egyptian guards.
Ay: There's no turning back now!
King Tut: To the palace! Let the wedding preparations begin!
The pharaoh starts to walk happily towards the palace. Although, Penny, who now wishes to escape, is being dragged by the two servants, grabbing her by the arms. She struggles to break free but to no avail. She then looks back to the white beagle and the glasses wearing boy.
Penny: Mr. Peabody! Sherman! Do something!
Sherman: Don't worry Penny! We'll save you!
But before they could do ANYTHING, two more guards grab them and drag them away.
Sherman: Let us go! You can't do this!
Penny: What is gonna happen to them?
King Tut: Oh don't worry about them. They won't be a bother to us any longer. Now come on. We have a wedding to plan.
The rest of the day went along as King Tut made preparations for the wedding tomorrow morning. The pharaoh smiled a big bright smile for the future he looks to have both in this life and the afterlife. As for Penny, she panics in her mind as she tries to look for possible exit points, however, there is none.
Later that evening...
King Tut guides Penny to a grand room with a soft bed and drapes hanging out the windowsill.
King Tut: this shall be your room for tonight. I shall see you tomorrow my desert blossom.
Penny: Wait, what about the two that came to me earlier?
King Tut: the barbarians? I'm sure they're dead by now.
Penny: What?!
King Tut: but what does that matter to you? Now rest up. Until tomorrow my desert flower.
The pharaoh walks away as the door closes behind him. Penny couldn't believe it. She's going to marry a pharaoh only to die when he dies. Not only that, but she may have killed Mr. Peabody and Sherman when they were just helping her. She sits on the bed and sheds a couple of tears.
Penny: What have I done?
*pause*
...
Sherman: You were really worried for me and Mr. Peabody?
Penny: Yeah, after he said that you two were probably dead, I was feeling guilty
Sherman: Well at least you're not guilty anymore
Penny: Yeah
...
*play*
