Mending Their Bond

A.N: Sorry for a long update, again. I'm quite busy for the week, but finally I managed some time to write this chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 6: It's A Piece Of Pie

Sherman sits on a chair in the dining room. He had no idea of what is happening a few hours ago. He had just finished eating a slice of pie in the fridge while thinking of it. He had kissed Penny, twice if he count in the sleepover. He kept thinking of it until he heard the elevator bell dinged, which means Mr. Peabody got back from the meeting. Sherman straightly hid his worried face and act like he usually did.

Sherman: "Oh, Mr. Peabody, you've come back? So fast."

Mr. Peabody: "Well, yeah. Have you eaten the pie?"

Sherman: "Yeah."

Mr. Peabody: "I thought you're going to save it."

Sherman: "Save it for when? I think it's the right time to eat it."

Mr. Peabody: "Not for when, Sherman, but for who."

Sherman: "For who? I don't get it."

Sherman thinks of who is this person that Mr. Peabody mentioned, until he remembered someone.

Sherman: "Oh... you mean Penny?"

Mr. Peabody: "Yeah."

Sherman: "But I save another piece. One for me, one for you, and one for Penny."

Mr. Peabody: "I'm not going to eat it, one piece is for you, and two pieces left is for your...(raising an eyebrow)"

Sherman: "Hmm... what?! How did you know?"

Mr. Peabody: "Just guessing."

Sherman: "Please, Mr. Peabody, please don't tell her, it's going to be a surprise."

Mr. Peabody: "Your secret is safe."

After covering his face because of being ashamed, he went to his bedroom as he's not yet changing his clothes.

After he got his casual white T-shirt and black pants on, he didn't know what to do, so he decided to call Penny. He took his phone and enter Penny's number. He waited for her to pick it up.

Penny: "Hello."

Sherman: "Hello, Penny."

Penny: "Oh, Sherman, it's not usual you called in this situation."

Sherman: "It's... nothing. I just don't know what to do now."

Penny: "Me too."

They stop for a while to think what should they do now. Then, Sherman had an idea.

Sherman: "Oh! Do you want to come to my house? To have some pie that I've made?"

Penny: "Let me think... (thinking for a while) Okay then."

Sherman: "Yes. See you, then."

Penny: "Okay, bye."

Sherman: "Bye."

They both then hung up their phone. Mr. Peabody who accidently heard some words from their conversation, decided to ask about what is happening. He then opened the door, which makes Sherman surprised a bit.

Mr. Peabody: "Sherman, who is that? Is it Penny?"

Sherman: "Yeah, why?"

Mr. Peabody: "I knew it. So... do you ask her to come? To eat the pie that you have made?"

Sherman: "Yes. Wait a minute, how did he know all those thing? Did he purpousely trying to listen?"

There's silence filled the room for a while. Then Mr. Peabody decided to put the topic again.

Mr. Peabody: "So, how are you and Penny?"

Sherman: "Oh, we're doing great."

Mr. Peabody: "Is there any development that I should know?"

Sherman: "I don't think so."

Mr. Peabody: "Oh, okay. When were you going to date?"

Sherman's eyes widened just by hearing what his dad said.

Sherman: "WHAT?!"

Mr. Peabody: "Yes, I think it's the right time to ask her out."

Sherman: "But, she's so special and I don't know where our first date will be. I don't want the first date to be just... usual, I want it to be special."

Mr. Peabody: "Well, then. I'm ready whenever you have something on your mind."

Mr. Peabody finally went out from his son's room, leaving him thinking. While Sherman was thinking, he heard Mr. Peabody's voice from the living room.

Mr. Peabody: "Sherman! Penny's here."

Sherman: "I'm coming."

Sherman finally ran to the living room to meet Penny.

Sherman: "It's good to have you here, Penny."

Penny: "(chuckled) Thanks, Sherman. I can't wait to taste the pie that you've been talking."

Sherman: "Well then, come on."

Then, they finally left the living room and go to the kitchen. After they arrived at the kitchen, Sherman allows Penny to sit and pulled the chair for her. After Penny sits, Sherman takes two plates of milk pie from the fridge. Sherman finally sat and eat up the pie, while Penny is just staring at her plate of pie.

Sherman: "Penny, why haven't you eat?"

Penny: "I don't think I'm going to like it."

Sherman: "Why not?"

Penny: "I never tried this before. I didn't even like the appearance."

Sherman: "Well... you can add some fruits as decoration."

Penny: "What about the flavour?"

Sherman: "Just try, you won't regret it."

Penny gulped for once and the swallow a small piece of the pie. She was surprised at how delicious it. Her mind suddenly flows by the flavour of the pie.

Sherman: "So... I can conclued that you like it?"

Penny: "Well... it's quite delicious. But I think it's going to be better with some fruits."

Sherman: "You can take it from the fridge."

Penny: "Okay."

Penny then takes the fruit from the fridge. After that, Penny walks into the table with a basket of strawberry and a basket of blueberry.

They are all enjoyed their time by eating the milk pie and sharing some stories and reviews of all their live events.

A.N: Finally I could finish this chapter. Sorry because there are not too much romance in this chapter, because I'm going to make it an easy friendship stories with only a slight romance for a few chapters forward. Don't worry the main romance will be in some of them, if I had a inspiration. Thank you, see you later.
