Chapter 9: Lost and Found
Thomas sleeps peacefully in the couch at his friends Austyn's house since he ran away from Peabody's penthouse. "Dude wake your ass up!" Austyn said shaking his friend. Thomas groans as he opens his eyes and looks up at his friend. "What gives?" Thomas asked pull his blanket closer to him. "Dude you're famous!" Austyn cried out as he slams a magazine on the coffee table. Thomas sits up and grabs the magazine. "You have to be joking," Thomas said as he looked closely at the magazine. The magazine was issued "Pepsi's new Emotional colors," the magazine was filled of photos from the photo shoot even the one with him, Peabody and Sherman. "He really did it," Thomas said looking through the magazine. "They said Pepsi Emotion would be out next year," Austyn added. Thomas as he closed the magazine. "Your an asshole!" Jodie shouted as she walked through the door and slams it behind her. Jodie then runs up to Thomas and slaps him a crossed the face.
Thomas was surprised by this as he shook off the pain. "What was that for?" Thomas asked. "You lied! Peabody really cares about you and you just ran away from him!" Jodie shouted with her arms in the air. Thomas chuckled. "Jodie you don't know the half of what's going on in my life," Thomas said as he puts on his shoes. "The hell I don't Thomas! Just looks at this," Jodie said as she's hands Thomas a piece of paper. Thomas took the piece of paper and noticed it was a runaway persons paper with Thomas's face on it. "Where did you find this?" Thomas asked. Jodie crossed her arms with tears fall from her face. "Thomas. He came to my job and started handed them out. He really cares about you. He loves you," Jodie said as she started to calm herself down. Thomas looked up at Jodie in surprise. "Peabody came to you work please and handed this out?" Thomas asked. Jodie nodded. Thomas shook his head. "Whatever, I'm not going back to him," Thomas said as he through the paper down on the floor. "Damn it Thomas when you were lost her found you!" Jodie shouted as she grabbed Thomas's arm.
Thomas turned and looked at his friend. Thomas she was right. Peabody was the only living family he had left and Peabody was his real father whether he liked or not. Peabody was his true blood of a father he could ever get close to Thomas then looked at Austyn who was sitting in a chair. "She's right dude Mr. Peabody's all you got and Sherman too," Austyn added. Thomas then nodded. "Alright I'll go back," Thomas said as he swallowed hard. Jodie nodded. "Alright," Jodie replied. "Alright so where is he headed?" Thomas asked. "He's headed for the school to pick up your brother from school," Jodie answered. "Alright I'll be heading out and heading over there," Thomas said as he grabbed Austyn's skateboard. "You have my hover board I'll mail it to you if I can have this," Thomas said as he walked out the door. "Sweet," Austyn said. "We'll be see you," Jodie said giving Thomas a hug. Thomas hugged her back. "Yeah will do," Thomas said as they broke their hug.
And with that Thomas was off using his skateboard to get where he needed to go. Peabody and Sherman both walked out the school with their heads down low. "Any luck?" Sherman asked. Peabody looked at Sherman and shook his head. "No nothing yet Sherman," Peabody said as they walked to the car. "Oh," Sherman said as he puts his hands in his pockets. "What kind of a father am I? I'm mean I maybe one of the most intelligent being on earth of this time. But I'm just a dog who can't keep his own son safe," Peabody said as they got inside the car. "Dad your a great dad and I'm sure he'll turn up soon," Sherman said hoping to cheer the mood. Peabody was silent for a moment before starting the car. "Yeah... Yeah your right Sherman he will turn up soon," Peabody said as he started the car. Thomas made to the end to the block of where the school was.
Thomas out of breath from skating so long saw that Mr. Peabody's car was about to leave. "Please don't leave just yet," Thomas said to himself as he started skating again. By the time Thomas got close to the car, Peabody was off. "Damn it!" Thomas shouted as he stood on his board. Thomas started think for a moment. "I got it," Thomas said to himself as he took a left off the street. Peabody came to a stop at a red light while turning on his blinker to turn left. Thomas turned on the corner hoping to get to Peabody and Sherman before they got home. The light turned green as Peabody puts his paw on the gas. "Wait!" Thomas shouted as he jumped onto Peabody's car making Peabody stop the car. The skateboard rolled into the bust street and was crushed by a dump truck.
Peabody wide eyed jump out of his car and ran to the front. "Thomas! What do you think you doing you could've have been hurt or worse killed!" Peabody shouted as he grabbed Thomas's arms. Thomas got down to his level and pulled him in for a hug. "Okay! I'm so sorry about what I did and everything before!" Thomas said hugging Peabody tighter. "Thomas! That was so cool!" Sherman said coming from the corner of the car. "Sherman!" Thomas said as he lets going of his father and starts hugging Sherman. Peabody needed a moment to take all this in. Other than having his son back, there was only the fact that he hits him with his own car. Peabody then walked over to Thomas and took a look at him. "Thomas are you alright I didn't hurt you did I?" Peabody asked in a worried tone.
Thomas turned and looked down at his dad. "No I'm Fine, you didn't hit me hard enough," Thomas said with chuckle. Peabody chuckled back. "Okay. Well I think we should be getting home," Peabody said with a smile. Thomas smiled and nodded. The family of three then got into the car and headed home. After the family got home and had some dinner, Peabody and Thomas both started cleaning the dining room and started doing the dishes. Peabody washed while Thomas dried. But that was then Thomas found Peabody's scars. "Dad. what happened to your paws?" Thomas said as he sets down a plate and took a look at Mr. Peabody's paws. "Dad you need to see a doctor right now," Thomas said still looking at his dads paws
"No, I'm fine. I'm just glad you're back home," Peabody said with a smile. Thomas shook his head. "Dad Please you're hurt," Thomas said feeling tears forming. "I did this didn't I?" Thomas asked. Peabody then grabbed his son's arm. "You didn't do anything you understand me? Nothing. I did this to myself because I thought I was going to lose you," Peabody said letting go of his son. Thomas just stared at his father as he continued to wash some more dishes. "Dad I'm so sorry," Thomas said as he swallowed hard. Peabody just nodded in response as puts down the plate on the counter. "When I was lost in my own head. You found me and took me in and I just pushed you away when I really needed you the most and I'm sorry for that," Thomas explained.
Peabody then turned off the water and lets it go down the drain. Peabody then looks at his son and smiles. Thomas looks at Peabody in the same green eyes that he has only one. "I'm so grateful to have you here right now as my son," Peabody said with a smile. Thomas smiles back as he gets down on his knees and hugs his father. "I am too dad," Thomas said feeling a tear fall from his cheek. They broke their hug and Thomas puts everything away. "Oh Thomas I forgot to tell you that you can go back to school tomorrow," Peabody said as he and Thomas both walked into the living room. "Okay sounds good," Thomas said as he walked over to his new room that was a crossed from Sherman's room. "See you tomorrow?" Thomas asked. Peabody chuckled. "You bet!" Peabody said cheerfully.
Thomas nodded as he walked into his room. "Good night dad," Thomas said with a smile. Peabody chuckled. "Good night son," Peabody said with a smile. Thomas smiled back as he closed the door. Peabody crossed his arms as he headed for his lab. Peabody's heart felt warm and whole again, knowing that his family was now back together for the better. Thomas took a deep breath as he walked over to the desk that was in his room and checked his email before bed. Thomas eyes almost fell out of his head and his heart almost stopped as he saw an email from Dustin. Thomas opened the email and started reading. "Thomas. I see that your famous almost every where. But I want to know one thing. Where is all the money that your getting from this? Wherever it is I want it. I couldn't get a hold of you from the phone so I guess is the only way to get in contact. You better start paying me or else the dog gets it!" Thomas shook head as he closed the brower and shut the laptop.
