I present to you guys chapter 8 of The New Dimension. I hope you guys enjoy it.

I strolled along the city streets under the darkening evening skies. All I wanted to do now was get home, as I had been harassed by Penny for the millionth time in the last week. Seriously, I was actually having a pretty good first day of school, and then Penny starts bullying me just because I answered some question about George Washington! Why couldn't that girl just find someone else to bully, or even better, just crawl into a hole and die?

And ever since then, she had to come over for dinner. I certainly was not happy about that. And when she pressed the button on the machine and sent us here, she blamed it on me! Now she keeps pestering me every time I run into her. In fact, she is probably walking behind me right-

"Oh hello Sherman," said a dreaded voice. Just by hearing it, my ears hurt and I knew exactly what the source of the voice was.

"Leave me alone!" I screamed, beginning to run towards the direction of my home. I know I probably sounded like a little schoolgirl and that I was practically throwing away my dignity, but I just had to get away from that girl!

"What's wrong? Are you scared? Of a girl?" Penny mocked.

"Would you just leave me alone for one minute!?" I screamed.

"Nah, I don't feel like it," Penny replied sheepishly.

Suddenly, I immediately stopped running, because my eyes caught something rather peculiar. There was a man in a brown coat with a bandana over his face, lurking right outside the donut shop. In fact, even his skin seemed tan, like normal human skin.

He was completely coloured.

"Why are you stopping? Are you tired?" Penny teased.

"Shhh," I said.

"But-"

"Zip it, Penny!" I yelled, as the coloured man wandered into the donut shop. "I need to see this," I added, as I found the nearest crosswalk and ran across the street.

"What did you find? A chew toy store?" said Penny.

"I'm ignoring you," I scoffed.

All of a sudden, there was some yelling and screaming, and then the coloured man bolted out of the donut shop with a giant wad of cash.

"Hey, stop!" a voice yelled. "My money! He took all my money! Someone please stop him!"

"Did you see that?" I asked Penny.

"I'm not blind, Sherman," she scoffed.

"We have to do something about it!" I rebutted.

"You mean, you have to do something about it," Penny corrected, smirking.

Now I really wanted to punch this girl in the face.

"Run along, dog-boy," Penny cooed.

Oh great. Another day in paradise.

But still, I felt like I had to do something. I wasn't comfortable with letting that man get away with all that money. Plus, there was a fat cop just sitting in the donut shop, eating a donut. Clearly, crime was completely unheard of here.

"Hey!" I yelled to the cop.

"What do you need?" he replied, finishing his donut.

"Did you see what just happened?" I asked, referring to the crime that the coloured man had just committed.

"Yeah, and it was weird. I've never seen anything like it before..." said the cop, drifting off into space.

"It's your job to stop it!" I yelled.

"It is?" the cop questioned, looking rather confused. "I thought we just ate donuts."

"No, you're supposed to stop these crimes!"

"I am? Huh..." said the cop, drifting off into space once again. However, his daydream didn't last long as I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him outside the donut shop. I could barely see the coloured man in the distance, who was getting into a black and white car and starting it up.

"Just get in the car and drive after him!" I demanded. The cop reluctantly got in the driver's seat and I hopped in the passenger's seat. It was quite exciting being in the front seat of the car. Mr. Peabody never let me sit in the front of a car. Every time I asked him, he said that it was dangerous and that if he was involved in a collision I could easily be very hurt.

"What do I do now?" the cop asked, panicked.

"Turn on the siren and drive the car!" I yelled.

The fat cop somehow knew the button for the siren as well, and with one simple press of a button, the police sirens blared and the red and blue flashing lights really stood out against the black and white landscape.

I could even see Penny on the sidewalk, and as we passed by her, she gave me a strange look. It's almost as if she looked... jealous.

"See you later, dog-girl!" I yelled as we passed by. The look on her face quickly changed to an infuriated look.

All of a sudden, the traffic light ahead of the police car changed from a green, to a yellow, and finally a red. All the traffic lights were now coloured. However, I knew that I would have to tell the cop what to do again. It felt weird telling a grown man what to do. But I really liked it.

"Oh no! Now I have to stop!" the cop whined.

"No you don't!" I yelled. "Just drive through!"

"What!?"

"You are allowed to run a red light! Because you're a cop!" I explained.

"You know, that light was black and white before..." the cop began to drift off into space again.

"Snap out of it!" I screeched.

"I hope this works!" the cop yelled, as he sped through the light. Fortunately, nothing hit and the criminal was still visible in front of us.

I began to notice the people's reactions to us as well. A lot of people got scared and ran into the nearest building, but some of them looked awed and watched the car very carefully.

All of a sudden, the coloured criminal lost control of his car and the car proceeded to crash into some street lights. Not too long after that, the car broke down.

"Now you have to get out of the car and handcuff him!" I commanded, handing the cop the handcuffs.

Slowly, the coloured man crawled out of the car, looking very beat-up. "W-what just happened?" he asked himself.

That didn't last for long as the cop leapt onto the criminal and took him down. Even better, he figured out how to use the handcuffs.

"Wow! I've always wondered what these were for!" the cop exclaimed. "Now you're going to our jail cells which have never been used!"

"You're welcome," I beamed.

"Whoa, you deserve a reward!" said the cop. He soon grabbed a shiny gold medal that read 'Super Citizenship Award' and handed it to me. "This is for you, kid. You did good today."

"Thank you!" I said, running off to go back home.

I couldn't wait to show Penny the medal. I just knew that she would be jealous.

I thought this was a pretty cool chapter. In the next chapter, you will get to see Penny's reaction to Sherman showing her the medal. Reviews are appreciated.
