Chapter 2's here and we're off to a creepy start! Just read to find out.
An hour has passed and both of the kids already fell asleep. Sherman was leaning on the door. Suddenly, the door slid open, making him fall on his back, making him wake up. When he opened his eyes, what he saw first was the ceiling of his room. That's when he realized that they're finally free. He smiled. He has never been so happy before to see a simple white door open. He had to wake Penny up. He went to her and lightly shook her shoulders.
"Hey Penny, wake up. The door's open." Penny slowly opened her eyes and saw that Sherman was right, the door was indeed open.
"Come on let's get out." He offered Penny a hand to help her up. She held his hand, but he didn't expect what happened next. Instead of pulling herself up, she pulled him down. Sherman was very surprised by this.
"P-Penny what are you doing?" The next thing she did just happen to surprise him even more. She hugged him.
"You don't have to leave, Sherman." She whispered in his ear. This all seemed so familiar. She caressed his back. She didn't let go of the hug.
"Why do you want to go outside? We can always stay inside here, just the two of us, together." She said in a soothing voice.
Sherman had a look of disbelief. "Have you gone crazy?!"
"Of course Sherman! I've gone crazy, for you!" She giggled, then laughed in a maniacal way.
Sherman found this creepy and screamed. "I-I'm leaving you here!" He stood up and walked towards the door, but it suddenly closed. He turned around and saw Penny smiling.
"Uh-uh-uh! I don't think so Sherman! Before you leave, I NEED to hug you again!" Sherman was still terrified at the sudden close of the door. Did Penny have super powers? He admitted defeat. He just wanted to get out.
"F-fine. Just do it." Penny had another plan though.
"Before that, I have to show you something you won't believe."
Sherman was starting to get scared again. What is she gonna show him? P-please… not a clown doll… those things are creepy! It's as if time got slow all of a sudden. The object Penny wanted to show him was slowly starting to reveal itself out of the shadows. It was… it was… a Rubik's Cube. A solved one. Even if he is a smart kid, Sherman never really knew how to solve a Rubik's Cube. It just seemed impossible.
Sherman was frozen in shock, his mouth agape. HOW DID SHE SOLVE IT?! THE SORCERY!
Sherman woke up, with sweat all over his forehead. It was all just a dream. He realized he was leaning on the door, meaning it was still closed. Penny shifted a little, and woke up as well.
"Hey Sherman, are you alright?"
He jumped a little and shrieked, surprised when he heard Penny's voice. He hit his head on one of the shelves near him. He massaged the part of his head that was hit. "Ow…"
"Sherman!" Penny rushed to his side. "Are you alright?" She sat down beside him.
"Yeah I'm okay."
Penny had another question in mind. "So, how long do you think we're gonna be stuck in here?"
Sherman replied, "Hopefully not until night, because we're gonna starve in here."
Penny ate just an hour ago, before going to the penthouse. "It's a good thing I just ate."
Sherman too, had lunch ago with Mr. Peabody. He suddenly got curious of what she ate. "Hey Penny, can I just ask? What did you eat for lunch?" Penny knew the answer to that of course, but she thought about it. She was gonna tease him.
"We just ate burritos. Actually, I ate two." She giggled. Burritos for lunch? Sherman thought it was a little strange.
Then he realized something. He knew what burritos can do to a person. Sweat started to form on his forehead. "W-what?! You had to eat not one, but TWO burritos! Of all the days, why today?!" He was doomed. He moved some inches away from her.
Penny knew getting stuck in a closet with another person who just ate burritos or something similar will not end well, at all. But she had to tell him it was all just a joke, to prevent things from getting worse as they already are. She laughed. "You actually believed me!"
Sherman was confused. "Huh? What are you talking about?"
"I was just joking Sherman!"
Sherman glared at her. "Oh come on Penny! Don't make jokes like that! Digesting burritos and going inside closets don't mix well you know!"
"That's the point."
Sherman had nothing else to say but, "You win, again."
Penny had a triumphant look on her face then spoke. "Awwwww is Mister Gullible all angry?" she mocked him.
Sherman looked away from Penny, and crossed his arms. "Man, I hate burritos. It's all their fault."
Will they ever get out of the closet?
The dreamscape scene was written before "Solve It Please", so yeah, that story is really based on the idea of the Rubik's Cube scenes here.
Are you liking the story so far? The next chapter should be up, but I don't know when.
