Chapter 7: Towers
Early Saturday morning, Peabody walked out to the living room and turn off the storm shields. Thomas opened his eyes and noticed that the storm shields were going up. Thomas then got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen where was making breakfast. "Hello Thomas," Peabody said fliping an omelette. "Hey," Thomas said siting at the island. Peabody then finsihed making two omelette's and placing them on two plates. "I'm glad you and Sherman had some time together," Peabody said as get he walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed some juice. "Well he was scared so I had to do something," Thomas said with a nod. Sherman walks into the kitchen with his eyes still tired and a long yawn.
Sherman then sits next to Thomas as Peabody gives them their juice and food. "Yum," Sherman exclamed as he sat down. All of a sudden the phone rings. Peabody walked over to the phone and answered. "Hello Mr. Peabody speaking," Peabody said through the phone. Thomas and Sherman both continued eating while Peabody was on the phone. "Yes I can stop by and see the final photos," Peabody said through the phone. Thomas and Sherman both looked at each other. "Thank you very much," Peabody said just before he hangs up the phone. Peabody sighs as he turns and looks at his boys.
"Well guy's I have to stop by the print center and see about the photos for Pepsi Emotion," Peabody explained. Thomas and Sherman both nodded. "Okay, you guys stay here and I'll be right back and we'll do something later," Peabody said as he was getting his coat and car keys. By the time Thomas and Sherman were done eating, Peabody was already out the door. Thomas then washed the dishes while Sherman dried them. After they were done they walked into the living room and sat down. Thomas sighed as they sat there, Sherman turned and looked at Thomas and noticed he was bored.
"What's wrong Thomas?" Sherman asked. Thomas turned and looked at Sherman. "Nothing. But what do you do for fun around here?" Thomas asked. Sherman took a deep breath and shrugged. "Well we could do some tests on plants grow in the dark," Sherman said with a smile. Thomas only blinked in response. "Your kidding right?" Thomas asked. Sherman was taking a back by this question. "isn't that fun?" Sherman asked. Thomas took a deep breath and shook his head as he stood up. "No. But don't worry I'll fix that," Thomas said walking over to the closet. "Pepsi gave me these for the photo shoot and whatever they give me I get to keep," Thomas explained as he pulled out two large boxes.
Sherman's eyes widen as Thomas pulled out the boxes. "Hover boards!" Sherman exclaimed. "Yep, now put this on," Thomas said handing Sherman a helmet. "What are we doing?" Sherman asked. "We're gonna go have some fun," Thomas said putting on his helmet. Sherman just looks at his helmet. "I don't think Mr. Peabody would like us doing this," Sherman said putting down his helmet. Thomas chuckled. "Sherman you're twelve years old. Just... Live a little," Thomas said as he got on the hover board and starting riding towards the elevator. Sherman thought for a moment before putting on the helmet.
"I know Mr. Peabody isn't going to be about this... But an hour of this kind of fun shouldn't hurt," Sherman said putting on the helmet and jump on to the hover board and followed Thomas to the elevator. "Hey wait up!" Sherman said while riding the hover board. Thomas stopped the elevator from closing and letting Sherman come in the elevator. "Glad you wanted to join the real fun," Thomas as he lets the elevator doors close. "Well only for an hour we can do this," Sherman said as the elevator went down. "Well... I guess I'll have to show you the best hour of your life," Thomas said with a smile. Sherman swallowed hard.
The last time Sherman tried to play things cool and show off or even prove something was back with the WABAC incident. Since then Sherman has been improving his school skills and staying together with friends. "You ready?" Thomas asked getting back on the hover board. "I guess so," Sherman replied as he was getting on his hover board. as soon as the elevator doors opened Thomas was off into the offices of Peabody Industries. Sherman slowly came out of the elevator and followed his brother slowly behind. "Thomas wait up!" Sherman said trying to keep up with his brother.
"Come on Sherman!" Thomas called out rushing through the offices. Sherman almost ran into some Peabody's workers as he tried to keep up. Thomas then slowed down for Sherman so he could keep with him. "hey you kids shouldn't be down here!" One of Peabody's workers shouted. "Sorry!" Sherman said while passing the worker. Thomas was sit a little bit ahead of Sherman but he still slowed down for him. Sherman was now getting closer to his brother until he lost his footing and fell on a stack of papers. Thomas saw everything as he started rolling over to his brother. "Sherman are you okay?" Thomas asked getting off the hover board. Sherman looked up at his brother with a wide smile. "Okay? I'm great that was so much fun!" Sherman said with joy. Thomas smiled back in response giving out his hand to help his brother up. Sherman then lost his smiled as he looked behind Thomas and noticed that security was called. "But I think we're in trouble," Sherman added. Thomas then looked behind him and then sighed while shaking his head knowing that the fun was over for them.
Peabody's phone started ringing while he walked out of the Print Center. "Hello?" Mr. Peabody answered. "Mr. Peabody I have your boys down here in security. Would you like me to send back to your penthouse?" Head of security said through the phone. Peabody's blood started to boil. "Are they now? No just have them wait there and wait for me to come get them," Peabody said on the phone while walking to the car. "Yes sir," Head of security replied as he hanged up the phone. Peabody ends the call and puts his cell phone in his pocket it. "Great," Peabody said to himself as he got into his car.
Thomas sat there with his hood on while Sherman was about to have a heart attack. "I knew we shouldn't have done this! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" Sherman cried out. The security guard just stared at Thomas while Sherman rocking in his chair. "So your the new Peabody?" asked the guard. Thomas sits up and nodded. "Yep the one and only with the blood of a smart beagle," Thomas said acting smart. The guard chuckled as he stood up from his chair and walked over to Thomas. The guard then looked Thomas in the eye and took off his hood and looked at his hair. "What are you doing?" Thomas asked moving away from the guard while putting his hood back on. "Who knew Peabody could produce a handsome kid like you," The guard with a smile.
Thomas rolled his eyes. "Dude please don't make me throw up. I don't need a picture in my head with Mr. Peabody producing," Thomas said crossing his arms. The guard was surprise by Thomas's sarcasm. "Along with making a smart ass," The guard added. Thomas opened his mouth to say something but didn't since Mr. Peabody walked through the door. Sherman jumped off from the chair and ran over to Peabody and gave him a hug while crying into his white furry chest. "Sherman it's okay," Peabody said while patting him on the head. "Finally! lets get out of here I feel like this guard is gonna run tests on him for unfinished high school science fair project," Thomas said while walking out the door.
Peabody his head. "I'm so sorry about this Mr. Norway it won't happen again," Peabody said as he helped Sherman out and headed for the elevator. As the elevator went up nobody talked until the elevator opened to their penthouse. As the elevator doors opened Sherman was the first one out and headed for his room. Thomas was on his way to his and Sherman's room but was then stopped by Peabody. "Not you Thomas!" Peabody raised his voice. Thomas stopped on his tracks and turned around to face his Peabody. "What did I do?" Thomas said waving his arms in the air.
"What were you thinking?" Peabody said as he puts his coat on the coat rack. Thomas looked down and licked his lips. "I was thinking a little fun wouldn't hurt anybody," Thomas said looking back at Peabody. Peabody then chuckled, "Fun? You thought using hover boards in my industry offices was fun! You could have gotten hurt using those things," Peabody explained still having his voice raised. Thomas shook his head, "You should talk Peabody you helped make them!" Thomas said as he started raising his voice. "That's not the point! The point is now is Sherman is now emotionally broken from this," Peabody said as he took off his glasses and started rubbing his eyelids.
Thomas chuckled while shaking his head. "The kid thought a science project with plants was fun. I mean has he done anything fun or anything that a normal kid would do other than the WABAC incident!" Thomas shot back. Peabody started growling. "We do not use that historical event in this house Young man!" Peabody said in anger. Thomas puts both hands behind his neck and takes a deep breath. "Then I'm sorry the historical event you had with my mom was a mistake," Thomas said with a crack in his voice. Peabody's heart shattered leaving him with no words to say anything else. Thomas swallowed hard as he started fighting back the tears that were started to form. Thomas then turned away from Peabody and headed to a guest bedroom and locked the door.
Peabody still shocked from the fight he just had with his son, sits down on the coach and starts to cry. Thomas and Peabody's relationship was built like a tower. Now back where they started, this tower had fallen back down to the powder from where it was made. Thomas slides down the door with tears coming down his face. "It was a mistake coming here," Thomas said to himself as he cried into the his knees. Peabody continued to hold himself as he cried while feeling his heart break. Peabody also thought about the life he would could've had with Thomas's mother and Thomas. Peabody was also thinking how life would be if he had Thomas, Eleanor and Sherman as one big family. Would things be different or the same?
