Chapter 21 Get Used To It
Thomas and Sherman both sat at the table taking little bites of their food. Thomas grew tried of waiting for their father to return to the table along with Marina. "I'll be back," Thomas said as e stood up and walked towards the restroom. Sherman sighed as he sat back in his chair. Thomas walked into the restroom and washed his hands. Thomas then looked in the mirror and sighed. "I see you having some trouble my boy," Mr. Foxx said walking out of the stall. "Oh man what do you want?" Thomas asked. Mr. Foxx smiled. "What no hello?" Mr. Foxx said with another smile. Thomas turned and looked at Mr. Foxx. "More like goodbye," Thomas said heading for the door. "Your father seems to have a little crush on that Marina girl," Mr. Foxx said as he crossed his arms. Thomas stopped at the door and turned and looked at Mr. Foxx. "So what?" Thomas said rudely. Mr. Foxx chuckled. "Like I said before my boy. He might replace you," Mr. Foxx said with a smile. Thomas rolled his eyes. "Screw you! And like I care if he wants to replace me with a better kid. Just leave me alone," Thomas said as he walked out of the restroom. "You better get used to it kid!" Mr. Foxx called out. Thomas walked out of the bathroom and saw that his father and Marina were back at the table. Peabody turned and saw that his son was coming out the restroom with Mr. Foxx walking right behind him. Peabody stood up from the table and walked over to Mr. Foxx. "Stay away from my son!" Peabody said raising his voice. Mr. Foxx chuckled. "Oh Mr. Peabody I was just giving the boy some pointers about you," Mr. Foxx with a smile.
Peabody started to growl. "Don't ever talk to my kid again!" Peabody shouted. Everyone stated to look at Peabody and Foxx. "Dad I think it's time to go," Thomas said putting his hand on his fathers shoulder. "You better listen to your boy Mr. Peabody. But I guess you wouldn't know what a real owner would say to you," Mr. Foxx with a dark smile. Peabody lost it and punched Foxx in the face. "Dad!" Thomas said as he grabbed Peabody and picked him up. "Let go of me!" Peabody shouted as he struggled to get away from Thomas. Foxx sat up and spits blood from his mouth. "Well Mr. Peabody! I didn't know you had it in you!" Mr. Foxx said as Thomas carried his father out of the restaurant. Sherman and Marina both stood up from the table and followed Thomas and Peabody outside. "Let go of me!" Peabody barked. Thomas then puts Peabody down as soon as they were outside. "Are you crazy dad? You could have a gotten arrested for punching him!" Thomas shouted. "I can handle myself! Don't ever pick me up like that again," Peabody said as he was fixing his bow tie. Thomas shook his head as he started walking away towards the car. "Where are you going?" Peabody asked. "Where do you think!" Thomas said as he opened the backseat door and got inside the car. Peabody sighed as he walked over to the car and got inside.
The ride home was quite as Thomas and Sherman looked out the window as they drove home. Peabody drove and Marina sat in the passenger seat. When they got home, Thomas step out of he car and headed for the elevator. Peabody seat out of the car and opened Marina's car door. Thomas went up to the penthouse and was welcomed by Alea. "Hello Thomas can I be an assistants to you?" Alea asked. "Not now but thanks," Thomas said as he walked through the penthouse and out on the balcony. Peabody, Marina and Sherman walked into the pent house. "Hello Mr. Peabody. Can I be an assistants to you?" Alea asked. "Yes Alea. Can you get some new clothes for Marina please?" Peabody asked. "I sure can Mr. Peabody," Alea replied. Peabody smiled. "Splendid," Peabody said. In only a few minutes Alea drop off some clean clothes along with a clean white towel from the laundry shoot. "Thank you Alea," Peabody said as he grabbed the clothes and towel. "You're welcome Mr. Peabody," Alea replied. Peabody then walked over to Marina and handed her the clothes and towel. "You really don't have to do this sir," Marina said as she took the stuff from Peabody's paws. "Marina it's no problem," Peabody said with a warm smile. Marina smiled back. Marina then looked up and saw that Thomas was outside with his hood on. "Do you think Thomas is okay?" Marina asked losing her smile.
Peabody lost his smile as he turned and looked at Thomas who was looking down at the city. Peabody then sighed as he looked back at Marina. "I'll go talk to him. You just get cleaned up." Peabody said with another smile. Marina nodded as she headed towards the bathroom. Peabody walked out to the balcony and stood on the outside of the door. "Do you want to talk about tonight?" Peabody asked. Thomas didn't look at his father. "What is there to talk about?" Thomas asked. Peabody shook his head. "I mean about Mr. Foxx said to you," Peabody said as he walked closer to his son. "Mr. Foxx told me the truth about things you couldn't." Thomas said still looking down at city. "What things?" Peabody asked as he stood next to his son. Thomas chuckled. "Come on dad! How long would it take for you to replace me?" Thomas asked looked at his father. "What do you mean replace you?" Peabody asked confused. Thomas looked away.
"Mr. Foxx asked me how long for you to find love and make a better child than me," Thomas confessed. Peabody chuckled. "Son. Mr. Foxx is a mad cat. He'll do anything for you to turn against me. And so what if I found someone. Don't you want that for me? And I wouldn't ever replace you," Peabody said putting his paw on Thomas hand. Thomas moved his hand away from his fathers paw and threw off his hood. "Mr. Foxx is not a mad cat. Maybe your a mad dog who can't take the heat!" Thomas shouted. Peabody started to growl. "Keep you voice down!" Peabody growled. "Looks who's barking now!" Thomas shot back. "Thomas! Knock it off now!" Peabody raised his voice. Thomas shook his head as he walked into the house. Peabody stood there looking down to the ground. "Nice going Peabody," Peabody said to himself as he walked back into the pent house.
