Part 2
Sherman and I set the WABAC for New York City, 1939 to meet one of history's most adventurous creators.
Mr. Peabody and Sherman traveled to 1939 New York as the WABAC materializes and lands in between an alley. They both step out of the WABAC and head out of the alley.
Sherman: So sho are we visiting this time, Mr. P?
Mr. Peabody: Oh, just someone I think you'll like to visit.
Sherman smiles and anticipates someone awesome but quickly frowns as he's skeptical of Mr. Peabody's words.
Sherman: This better not be another trip to the doctor again! I hate taking shots.
Mr. Peabody: No, Sherman. You're not going to the doctor... yet.
Mr. Peabody and Sherman walked alongside the sidewalk until they made it to an old timey bookstore. Of course it's old timey to Mr. Peabody and Sherman, but this is quite normal for this era.
Sherman: Come on Mr. Peabody. Who are we really here to meet?
Mr. Peabody: I'll give you a hint. What is your favorite type of literature. One I really wish you would read less of but it's nonetheless ygour favorite.
Sherman: Well that would be comic books of course... wait a second...
As soon as he uttered comic books, he's suddenly gotten a pretty good idea of who they're visiting.
Sherman: Are you telling me we're going to go meet the creator of my favorite comic books like "Commander U.S.A.", "The Spectacular 6" and "The Awesome Boy-Spider"?!
Mr. Peabody smiles and adjusts his glasses and nods.
Mr. Peabody: Thsts right. We're here to meet games comic book legend, Stan Lee!
Sherman is ecstatic as he and his canine father walked into the store. They approach the cashier desk and meet the shopkeeper who is a young 17 year old man, with a good groomed head of hair and wide glasses. He also seems to be wearing a polkadotted bowtie along his plaid dress shirt with black pants and shoes.
Shopkeeper: Welcome to the bookstore. My name is Stanley, how may I help you?
Sherman: Yeah we're looking for Stan Lee.
The shopkeeper, Stanley sniffles his nose and replies.
Stanley: That's me.
Sherman: Oh, not not Stanley, Stan Lee.
Stanley: But that's me. I'm Stanley
Sherman: Stan Lee
Stanley: Stanley?
Sherman: Stan Lee.
Stanley: Stanely...
Sherman: Stan Lee.
As the two bickered, amongst themselves by how similar both names sound. I pulled Sherman away from Stanley, as I've seen that Stanley is definitely the man were looking for.
Mr. Peabody: Sherman, I don't think you quite understand. That is Stan Lee.
Sherman: Of course thats Stanley. But hes not the guy were looking for.
Mr. Peabody: No Sherman thats not what I meant. I mean that really is Stan Lee.
Sherman them takes a look at Stanley, then imagines the present day Stan Lee. He then compared the two and once he puts two and two together, Sherman is quite shocked.
Sherman: Waiiiit! You mean hes...?!
Mr. Peabody: Yup.
Sherman: Who is the present's...?!
Mr. Peabody: Yup.
Sherman: And created all the...?!
Mr. Peabody: Yup.
Sherman looked at Stanley who seemed to be reading a butterfly book, while licking his lips and adjusting his glasses.
Sherman: Uh, I don't wanna be mean Mr. Peabody, but...
He goes to Mr. Peabody's ear and whispers.
Sherman: *whispers* He's kind of a nerd.
Mr. Peabody: Thats why were here. We have to convince the introverted Stanley to start writing comics and not focus on... this...
Stanley: Hey did you guys know that the Nymphalidade is the largest family of butterflies in the world? With over 6000 diferent species including the Danaus plexippus, commonly known as the Monarch Butterfly.
Mr. Peabody then scratches his temple as he thinks of how to help Stanley ditch his nerdiness.
Mr. Peabody: The only question is how do we change him? Hmm...
Sherman: Ooh! Ooh! Me has idea!
Mr. Peabody: What is it?
Sherman leans forward again and starts whispering into his ear.
Mr. Peabody: You wanna do what?
Sherman whispers again and elaborates the plan he has in his mind.
Mr. Peabody: Are you sure it's gonna work?
This time Sherman doesn't whisper and replies normally.
Sherman: Honestly. I don't know. I'm just a silly 10 year old boy, not a genius like you.
Mr. Peabody takes Sherman's idea, thinks about it and nods.
Mr. Peabody: Well it's worth a shot.
As Stanley continues to read his book, Sherman walked up to him and smiles.
Stanley: Oh, hello there boy. Still looking for me I see.
Sherman: Indeed I am. We're taking you somewhere awesome.
Stanley: Out?!
Suddenly, Stanley stops his read, and drops his book. He also starts to shake and sweat.
Stanley: You mean... *gulps* out there...?
He points to the window where it was a normal sunny day with people acting friendly to each other.
Sherman: Yeah you're coming with us.
Stanley: No! No no No! I dontg wanna go outside.
Sherman: Oh come on you big baby. Let's go.
He takes Stanley by the arm and drags him out of the desk, and toward the door.
Stanley: No, I can't go outside. It's not safe for me.
Mr. Peabody sighs to himself as this introverted behavior was now something he's gonna have to deal with.
Sherman: Great. Hes acting just like Sherman when he pretended to have a fear of fresh air to avoid going to school.
As they got closer to the door, Stanley starts to panic to himself as Mr. Peabody opens the door and Sherman pushes him out through it.
It's now clear that Stanley is not the same man that everyone knows in the present, so Sherman plans to enact his plan to shed his geeky nature or else, the comic book icon will never do what he's born to do.
To be Continued...
A/N: Yeah this really isn't the same Stan Lee that we all know and love. But hopefully Sherman can change him, lickety split!
Also you may have noticed that i didn't use the names of superheroes that Stan Lee created or was involved in. This is because the show doesn't really use the names of existing properties to avoid DreamWorks getting sued by these other companies. So I had to give them obvious knock-off names. Ifnyheut weren't obvious to you, here's what they represented.
Commander U.S.A. = Captain America
The Spectacular Six = The Fantastic Four (You thought it was Sinister Six, didn't ya?)
The Awesome Boy-Spider = The Amazing Spider-Man
So there ya go.
Anyway, Sherman has a plan to change Stanley to be better so he can write everyone's favorite comics.
That being said, what exactly IS Sherman's plan?
Find out next time!
