Chapter 3. Set-Up
One week later...
Sherman wakes up and goes to the living room to see Mr. Peabody decorating the house. He's hanging lights around the corners of the ceiling.
Sherman: Good morning Mr. Peabody.
Mr. Peabody: Oh good morning Sherman.
Sherman: Are you hanging Christmas decorations?
Mr. Peabody: Yes. I thought since tonight is the party, the atmosphere could use some holiday spirit. Don't you think?
Sherman: Yeah. Hey, can I help?
Mr. Peabody: Sure. theres a box over there. open it and see what we got.
Sherman sees an unopened box labeled "X-Mas decorations" and goes towards it. He opens the flaps and sees tons of decorations from lights, to bells, to stockings, even a mistletoe.
Sherman: Can i give you these?
Mr. Peabody: Of course.
After decorating the house, Mr. Peabody and Sherman head to the kitchen to prepare some food.
Mr. Peabody: Now obviously we can't have a party without food.
Sherman: What are we making?
Mr. Peabody: Brick oven baked pizza, Christmas ham, assorted cookies, fruit punch, and a sandwich tray.
Sherman: Can we make a Christmas decorated cake?
Mr. Peabody: I don't see why not.
So Mr. Peabody and Sherman got to work on the food. Mr. Peabody prepared and tossed fresh pizza dough, while Sherman made some sauce. the duo sliced up some pepperoni, crumbled up some sausage, cut up some pineapple, and tore up some chicken. In a matter of minutes, five different pizzas were prepared, one plain cheese, one pepperoni, one sausage, one chicken, and one Hawaiian. They all put every single pizza into a brick oven.
Sherman: They all look so delicious.
Mr. Peabody: Indeed they do.
They then prepared the ham. Mr. Peabody takes a ham out of the refrigerator, drizzled it in honed and other sweet sauces, before putting it in a different oven. Mr. Peabody and Sherman then prepared some cookie dough and pulled out some cookie cutters and cut up some shapes of trees, ornaments, presents, and gingerbread men.
Sherman: The gingerbread men look like they're sleeping.
Mr. Peabody: Then they should cover themselves in a... cookie sheet.
Sherman: Hahahaha... I don't get it!
They put each tray of cookies into the oven. Then Mr. Peabody pulls out some ingredients out of the fridge. Lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sliced meats, pickles, onions, and condiments. He sets them on the countertop and pulls out several footlong breads out of the pantry.
Mr. Peabody: I baked the bread myself.
Mr. Peabody cuts up all the bread in half, then places sliced ham, cheeses, chopped lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles, and adds soms ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise to the sandwiches. He also adds salt and pepper for flavoring.
Sherman: Wow Mr. Peabody. Thats a lot of sandwiches.
Mr. Peabody then cuts up every single sandwich into tiny individual pieces and places them all in a large platter. He the prepares one last footlong andwich the same way, but instead he chops it in half and gives one half to Sherman and keeps the other half for himself.
Sherman: Thanks Mr. Peabody. All this food is making me hungry.
Three hours later...
Mr. Peabody and Sherman finished preparing all of the food. They leave it all on the countertop for the party.
Mr. Peabody: This should be just enough for tonight
Sherman: Its just enough.
Mr. Peabody: I believe we're ready for the party.
Sherman: Yeah. All the decorations look nice, and the food looks delicious... oh I almost forgot!
Sherman then runs to his room and comes back to the living room with a karaoke machine.
Sherman: I thought we could use some entertainment.
Mr. Peabody: This is an excellent idea Sherman.
Sherman pulls out a Santa hat and puts it on, while Mr. Peabody puts on a Christmas sweater with snowflakes and reindeer on it.
Sherman: Boy Mr. Peabody. That looks ugly on you
He bursts out giggling while the canine rolls his eyes.
Mr. Peabody: Laugh all you want Sherman. At least I'm being festive.
Sherman: You know I'm just joking.
Mr. Peabody: Of course you are.
Suddenly, the elevator goes "Ding!" and in comes the first guests of the party.
