I have really enjoyed writing this story. So, I present chapter 4. Enjoy.

The black and white sun shone into the black and white bedroom on this black and white morning and... well, you get the point.

Penny had gone home last night, and now it was just me and Mr. Peabody. It was a relatively normal night, except for the fact that Mr. Peabody was a lot more boring and I would have to choose my words carefully otherwise Mr. Peabody would giggle and call me 'silly boy'.

"Sherman!" Mr. Peabody called. "Breakfast!"

"Coming!" I yelled, running into the dining room.

As I entered the room, I peered at the TV, which was on The Weather Channel. A lot of things seemed different, but I was curious to see if The Weather Channel had changed at all.

"Today. Sunny." said the weatherman on TV. "High 72. Low 72. Chance of rain, 0%."

I got quite confused. I haven't watch The Weather Channel much, but the highs and lows were never the same.

"Tomorrow. Sunny. High 72. Low 72. Chance of rain, 0%."

Feeling odd, I grabbed the remote and changed the channel to find myself staring at the news.

"In other news: The sun came up today."

Okay, this universe is officially crazed.

"Coming up, plummeting prices at donut shops are leaving police overwhelmed. Stay tuned for more-"

Suddenly, the screen went black, and Mr. Peabody was standing right behind me with the remote control.

"That's enough of that," said Mr. Peabody. "I don't need you getting scarred for life now, right?"

Wow. Mr. Peabody actually thinks that a bunch of cops going on donut shopping sprees is going to scare me for good. However, I decided to stick to my promise of being careful with my speech.

"I made you some pancakes," said Mr. Peabody. "I've got eggs, sausage, bacon. You eat on up, now!"

Oh great.

"Last week we discussed the geography of Manhattan," the teacher said in school that day. "This week we will be discussing the geography of Brooklyn!"

I stared up ahead in confusion. Out of all the things in the world we could be learning, it had to be about New York City, which I already knew pretty well.

"Now, can anyone tell me one difference between Manhattan and Brooklyn?" said the teacher.

The black and white version of Mason who was sitting two seats to the left of me raised his hand.

"Mason?" the teacher called.

"Manhattan is more densely populated than Brooklyn," Mason replied.

"That's right! So, the density of Manhattan is different than the density of Brooklyn."

Well, it seemed like the teacher knew what 'different' meant. And yet Mr. Peabody didn't know what it meant.

"Penny?" the teacher called.

I turned my head to face Penny, who was sitting three desks behind me.

"Yeah... when are we going to learn about something other than New York?"

Suddenly, everyone in the class turned to face Penny with puzzled looks. Even I joined the rest of the class so I could humiliate her even more. It's what she deserved for bullying me.

"I don't understand," said the teacher.

I couldn't even describe Penny's look at that moment. "Outside of New York?" she said.

"I don't know what you mean. There's nothing but ocean outside of the city."

Great. So not only was everyone acting like a freak show, but New York was completely isolated. Just like Japan during the Edo Period.

"What's at the end of those oceans?" Penny questioned.

Unfortunately for Penny, the class was swept by giggles. I could tell by Penny's expression that that was not the type of reaction she was expecting.

"Penny..." the teacher sighed, "you should know the answer to that! The end of the oceans is just the beginning again!"

Penny looked devastated.

All of a sudden, the ring of a bell pierced through the air.

"Class dismissed!" the teacher chirped as the students began to leave the classroom.

"What is wrong with these people?" Penny asked, approaching me.

"I don't know," I sighed.

Just then, I could see the alternate Carl sneaking up behind Penny. The crazy thing was, he wasn't even confined to a wheelchair like in our own universe. "That was a crazy question you asked, Penny," he said, laughing.

"Zip it, Carl!" Penny snapped.

I won't be updating anything until Wednesday, because I am going on a school camping trip. I was planning to update The Bleak Future today, but we went to see a movie (X-Men Days of Future Past) and then I had to pack for the trip. Now, it's almost midnight at the time I'm posting this chapter and I need to be up early tomorrow. I apologize to anyone waiting for me to update my other stories.
