Peabody stayed locked in the bathroom for the rest of the day, vomiting, and trying his best to keep down food and water, according to the dog, he had what is simply known as a 'hangover' which is what happens when one drink's too much.

Sherman and Penny didn't really understand it, but they both figured it was best to leave the dog alone while he was in this state. So now, here they both where sitting on the couch, watching some TV, just some random cartoon, but Penny wasn't even paying attention, she looked outside, the sun was setting.

"Do you want to go home? I can walk you if you'd like." Sherman said, noticing that Penny was looking outside.

"No, I think I can spend the night again."

"We have school tomorrow."

"We go to the same school."

"You don't have clothes."

Penny opened and closed her mouth, Sherman had a good point there, she didn't have her school clothes with her, Still, she didn't want to leave Sherman, she couldn't!

"C'mon, I'll go and tell Mr. Peabody, I'm walking you home, before it gets dark." Sherman said and got up, before he could walk towards the bathroom, Penny ran up and grabbed him by the shoulder's spinning him around so he faced her.

"You're in danger!" She blurted out before she could stop herself. Sherman just gave her a strange look, not sure how to react to it. Slowly he grabbed her hands and placed them off of his shoulders.

"I know, I saw the dog-"

"Whoever it is after you is coming tonight! Sherman...You have to leave...Come, spend the night at my house! pack up some clothes, you'll be safe! Please!" She cried at him, tears brimming in her eyes.

"How do you know this?"

"Because he called! He called and I picked up the phone, Sherman, please-" Before she could finish her sentence the lights went out in the penthouse, it caused Penny to cry out and clutch onto Sherman.

"Urg...Children? Is everything ok?" Came Peabody's voice from the restroom.

"Everything is fine, Mr. Peabody, I'm looking for some flashlights now." Sherman said and started to walk away, while Penny slowly let go of Sherman. Luckily, it wasn't completely dark, the sun was still out, but not for long. It was completely set. Using the little light, Sherman searched around for a flashlight.

After a few minutes, he found one under the kitchen sink. Penny twirled her hair with her fingers and looked around worriedly.

"S-Sherman? With the power out, People can't use the elevator, right?" Penny asked him, keeping her eyes on the elevator, Sherman had a frown on his face as he flicked the flashlight on.

"I honestly don't know...I think it depends."

"On?"

"If the power is out in the whole building or if it's just out in our part of the building." Sherman told her. That didn't make her feel any better.

"Lets go and stay near Mr. Peabody. I'll feel safer around him..." Penny said and Sherman nodded, he was also secretly afraid of what is going to happen next. They started to walk towards the bathroom, Sherman felt uneasy. The door to the restroom opened, out came a disheveled Peabody. He looked tired, like he was about to collapse right there. Whatever this 'Hangover' was it made Sherman's father look ten years older.

"Why has the power gone out?" He asked them as he gently took the flashlight from Sherman's hands. Both of the children just shrugged, Mr. Peabody frowned. His fear was beginning to grow.

"Sherman...Penny...Both of you go into Sherman's room, lock the door. Don't come out unless I order it, do you understand me?" He asked them, giving them both a stern look. Both of them nodded quickly and, with out wasting time, they turned and ran for the room. The moment Peabody heard the door lock, he found himself growling, his fur rising. Peabody cautiously walked towards the door that lead to the stairs, he knew that someone was here, and going to make his attack, of course the man wasn't going to use the elevator, no, he was going to use the stairs. Peabody had to lock the door.

The sun had set and it was now pitch black except for the flashlight that only gave out a small beam of light. It gave the penthouse a very uneasy feeling to it. Luckily, he knew where everything was in the penthouse. Then he heard it, a loud bang of the door to the stairway. Someone had entered the Penthouse.

Mr. Peabody knew who it was, Matthew Walters.

Matthew Walters was here, in his Penthouse, most likely armed, while all Peabody had was a flashlight...
