Chapter 6: Learning The Change
Thomas took a deep breath as he looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. "Hey Peabody you ready yet?" Asked the photo director. Thomas was really ready to hear his last name like that. But it was true. It was really his last name. "Yeah! Just one second!" Thomas called back. "Well hurry it up Peabody we don't have all day," the photo director said leaving the bathroom door. "Call me Peabody one more time I swear," Thomas said shaking his head. Thomas then washes his hands and walks out of the bathroom and heads into the living room.
The living room was filled with crew men and camreas. Along with tons of Pepsi Emotion soda cans. "Alright even though Mr. Peabody isn't here I can do this," Thomas said to himself as he walked out into the living room. "Hey kid,"the photo director said. Thomas turned and looked at the photo director. "Yeah?" Thoms asked. The photo director then walked over to Thomas. "Kid have you ever been in a photo shoot?" the photo director asked. Thomas shook his head no. the photo director then sighed. "Okay just stand in front of the white back drop and look good," the photo director said as he walked away. Thomas took another deep breath and did as he was told and walked over to the white back drop.
There was a Pepsi Emotion can in the color navy blue sitting on the table that Thomas was going to stand next to. Thomas then picked up the can as it changed its color. The then navy blue can was now a light green which meant that he was normal. This got the photo director attention. "Cover your brown eye and put hold the can next to your green eye," the photo director instructed. Thomas then did was he was told and covered his right brown eye and held the light green next to his green eye. The photo director smiled taking the first shot of the day. Two hours have past and many photos were taken. One photo was taken with Thomas doing a kickflip next to two different colored Pepsi Emotion cans. And another photo was taken with Thomas drinking a blue green Emotion can.
Many photos were taken for most of the day and now with everything getting its wrap up. Peabody and Sherman both coming out of the elevator as things were trying to be put away. "Mr. Peabody!" the photo director said as he walked over to the white beagle. "Yes Mr. Johnson?" Peabody said taking off his coat and putting it on the coat rack. Sherman did the same. "You must see these photos. Your son has a talent for the camera," Mr. Johnson said showing Peabody all the photo. "Oh my these are great," Peabody said looking through the photos. "Hey Mr. Johnson!" Thomas called out. Peabody and Mr. Johnson both turned and looked at Thomas. "Yeah kid?" Johnson asked. Thomas smiled, "Could we do one more photo with Peabody and Sherman. I mean after all Pepsi Emotion was my dads idea," Thomas said with another smile.
Peabody's heart melted as his older son called him his dad. "I don't see why not. I think Pepsi would love it!" Mr. Johnson said with smile as he went and grabbed his camera. "Alright!" Sherman said with joy. The crew men sets up all of the Pepsi cans into a pyramid making a rainbow. Sheman and Thomas stood next to each other while Peabody stood on the other side of Thomas. "Alright lets go!" Mr. Johnson said as he took the shot of the family of three. After everyone had left and everything was back to the way it was in a normal but huge penthouse Thomas and Sherman both headed into their room so Thomas could help Sherman with some of his homework. "Did you really mean what you said about Mr. Peabody being you dad?" Sherman asked as he looked at his older brother.
Thomas looked at Sherman in surprise. "I guess so... I don't know I've gotten to yknow him a little I guess." Thomas answered the best way possble. "But do you really mean it?" Sherman asked again. Thomas took a deep breath. "Yeah I did but..." Thomas paused and blanked once. Sherman cocked his head to left. "But what?" Sherman asked putting down his pen. "I never had a dad before only a mom. So I don't what it's like to have a dad," Thomas answered. Sherman smiled in repsonse. "It's funny I never had a mom before," Sherman said with a half smile. Thomas chuckled. " Then I guess we're both learning the change I never had a dad and you never had a mom. But maybe one day dad will have to find someone new and could be a mom," Thomas said with a big smile.
Sherman smiled wide at the sound of that. " Come on let's go see if Dad needs help in the kitchen," Thomas said as he stood up and walked towards to bedroom door. Sherman started putting his stuff away and then following Thomas out into the kitchen. Both Sherman and Thomas walked out into the kitchen and sat down at the island. "Mr. Pebody do you need any help?" Sherman asked cheerfully. Peabody turned and looked at his boys. "Yes! could you Thomas with taking out the chicken of the oven and Sherman can you help me make some meat balls?" Peabody asked.
Thomas takes out the chicken and puts it on the cooling rack. Sherman and Peabody both making meat balls while Thomas gets out some salad out with some ranch. Peabody puts the rolled up meat balls in the oven. "Alright should we have some salad while we wait for the meat balls to cook and the chicken to cool?" Peabody said putting his paws together. Thomas and Sherman both looked at each other. "Okay," Thomas said taking the ranch as Peabody was getting the salad in three bowls. Thomas opens up the bottle of ranch and tried to put some on his salad. But all of sudden the ranch splattered out and landed on Mr. Peabody head "Oh..." Thomas said putting down the ranch. Peabody wiped up some ranch with his finger and licked it. "Well... good thing that I just bought that bottle," Peabody said with a laugh. Sherman and Thomas both started laughing as Thomas handed Peabody a towel.
Later that night after dinner Thomas was up late watching some TV in the living room while Sherman was sleeping and Peabody was working in his lab which was only a floor under him. Thomas heard thunder outside along with some flashing white lights from the lightning. Thomas stood up front the couch and walked over to the window and looked outside. "Well I guess it's good for the plants to get some rain. But really a thunderstorm?" Thomas said to himself as he crossed his arms. "And in more ways in one I bet Peabody's loving this," Thomas said while jumping back onto the coach.
"Mr. Peabody!" A small voice cried from the hallway. It was Sherman, still tired from his slumber but frightened from the loud crashing thunderstorm. "He's in the lab Sherman but if your scared you can sit with in here until he comes back," Thomas called out. Sherman at first walked slowly to Thomas but all of a sudden lightning and thunder struck making Sherman run to the couch. "Whoa buddy are you okay?" Thomas asked. Sherman cover his face with a small blanket that he had brought with him. "I'm okay... Just scared," Sherman answered. Thomas chuckled uncovering his brother from under the blanket. "There's nothing to be afraid of it's a small thunderstorm," Thomas explained as more thunder roared in the background with some lightning. "You can say that again," Sherman said covering himself back up again. Thomas then shook his head.
"Here I'll make it all better," Thomas said standing up. Sherman uncovered his head to see what Thomas was doing. "What are you doing?" Sherman asked. Thomas chucked as he grabbed the remote. "You'll see," Thomas answered. Thomas press on the microphone button on the remote and said. "Lockdown." Suddenly the storm shields came down and cover the windows and made everything sound proof. "How did you do that?" Sherman asked. "Well I did some reading on the remote and well you can thank Mr. Peabody for adding in the storms shields and sound proof barriers," Thomas said with a smile while walking back to sit back on the couch. "Oh I didn't know Mr. Peabody made that," Sherman said now fully out of the covers. Thomas chuckled, "Maybe you should read our own dads handbook once and awhile," Thomas said showing Sherman the Peabody industries handbook. Sherman just chuckled and shook his head in response. "Now how about a movie. What do you want to watch?" Thomas asked looking at his brother. "Let's what Snow White and the Huntsman," Sherman suggested. Thomas nodded in response. "Alright let the movie begin," Thomas said as the movie was starting.
Peabody walks out of the elevator with his lab coat on. "Thomas did you turn on the storm shields?" Peabody said waking into the living room. Peabody's heart melted as he walked into the living room seeing his two sons sleeping side by side on the couch. Peabody smiles at this as he quietly walks over to grab the remote and turns off the TV and quietly walks back over to a cabinet and grabs another blanket and puts it on his boys. Peabody walks over to the light switch and turns it off. Turning one last time to see his boys sleeping, Peabody smiles again. "Good night you too," Peabody said before heading to bed himself.
