Chapter 8. Penny's Plan

The WABAC arrives at Ancient Egypt, around 1330 B.C. Penny exits excitedly, this time wearing a silk egyptian dress that covers her from the shoulders down, a gold necklace, and a wig and serpant tiara, which bears some resemblance to Cleopatra's hair, while Sherman walks out in his generic attire.

Sherman: Okay Penny. We're here. Now lets go.

Penny: Oh I'm not going anywhere.

Sherman: What do you mean?

Penny responds by shoving Sherman back into the WABAC. Then she picks up a small rock, aims, and tosses it inside, landing on the red button, and pushing it in the process.

Sherman: Penny! Get back in here!

Penny only smiles mischievously and waves bye bye to Sherman. He tries to go after her, but the WABAC doors close and the orb starts to spin around extremely fast, and disappears.

Penny: Well. Now that he's gone, I can find a rich pharaoh, marry him, wait for him to die, then take all of his riches. Its foolproof!

She then walks into town where the townspeople were gathered in the form of a parade crowd. Penny wonders what is going on, so she gets into the crowd and sees a young boy in a pharaoh's outfit, being carried around by his servants

Penny: I bet he's the pharaoh. I better make sure he notices me.

But luckily for Penny, the pharaoh did notice her, mostly because she's the only one in the crowd with blonde hair. He smiles but passes her by.

Pharaoh: Who was that girl?... whoever she is, I must make her my queen.5 minutes later...

Penny was pacing back and forth to find a way to get noticed by the Egyptian king, but little did she know that she was already noticed by him, and once she turned around, she was face to face with the same boy from before, smiling at her.

Pharaoh: Hello.

Penny: Um hi.

Pharaoh: I have not seen you around before.

Penny: Um yeah, uh...I ran away from home.

The pharaoh was interested in the fake story that Penny was making up on the spot.

Penny: I was abused by my father and negleted by my mother

. I just had to get away from there.

Pharaoh: Well, you're more than welcome to come live with me in my palace.

Penny: Thank you.

Penny and the pharaoh walked back to the main street where several of his guards are waiting.

He gets onto his platform, and Penny was about to get in as well, only to be stopped by some of the guards.

Penny: Aaahh!

Pharaoh: Its okay. She's with me.

The guards let her onto the platform and start carrying her back to his palace.

Pharaoh: What is your name?

Penny: My name is Penny.

Pharaoh: Penny. Thats a nice name

Penny: *giggle* thank you. So what's YOUR name?

Pharaoh: I am King Tutankhamun. But my friends call me King Tut for short.

Penny: Well its nice to meet you.

Penny and King Tut arrive at the palace and the blonde girl stares in awe.

Penny: wow! You are the king of all this?!

King Tut: Why yes of course

Penny: its beautiful.

King Tut: Not as beautiful as you.

Penny: Excuse me?

King Tut: Oh... sorry.

Penny was obviously thinking that King Tut has fallen in love with him, making her content that her plan is working, and all she did was make up a fake sob story and show off her looks.

King Tut: Um... Penny?

Penny: Yes Tut?

King Tut: After you told me that story, I just wanted to have you safe. So I realized that there's only one way to do that. And even though we just met...

King tut kneeled onto one knee, and grabbed ahold of one of her hands. Penny was baffled by what is currently happening..

Penny: What are you doing?!

King Tut: Penny, will you be honored to become my bride?

Now most girls will just scream and squeal in happiness when they get proposed, but not Penny. She's only in it for the money, and after seeing his palace, she knew she hit the jackpot, but she doesn't want to drop the act.

Penny: Yes! Yes! I will become your bride!

King Tut: Excellent.

He then stands back up, and claps his hands twice, summoning some servants, standing proudly before their king.

King Tut: Now this is Penny, my bride and future queen. You shall tend to her every need when possible. Understood?

Servants: (nod)

King Tut: I shall tell the Royal Vizier about the wedding. I will return shortly my desert blossom.

Penny: Thanks.

King Tut jumps onto the backs of two of his servants and carry him away.

Penny: *in her thoughts* This plan is going perfectly, I have King Tut fooled, I'm gonna be rich, and best of all, I won't be seeing Sherman ever again!

*pause*

...

After pausing the movie, Sherman looks at Penny, with a smug look on his face.

Penny: What?

Sherman: *silence*

Penny: Oh come on. This was before my change of heart. I don't say that anymore.

Sherman: *raises an eyebrow*

Penny: Please don't be like that.

Sherman: I may have forgiven you, but seriously Penny?

Penny: Again. This was before I changed.

Sherman: I'll let you off this time Ms. Peterson. Just don't do it again.

Penny: Acting like your dad I see, *giggles*

Sherman: What was that?

Penny: Nothing!

...

*play*

Meanwhile...

Sherman was steering the WABAC uncontrollably through the timestream. This came to a surprise after he was ditched by Penny. However, he managed to regain control and steer back to the present. As he reached his destination, he leaves the tims machine with a look of fear on his face.

Sherman: Oh man! Mr. Peabody is gonna kill me! But I need to get her back, and I will need his help.

So Sherman walks back to the elevator and sees Mr. Peabody mixing some drinks and entertaining the Peterson's at the same time. He pours the red liquid into three glasses and adds a cherry into each one.

Mr. Peabody: This is a little homemade concoction I like to call... 'Einstein at the Beach'.

Patty: Yummy.

Mr. Peabody: To the kids!

Paul and Patty: To the kids!

The three pick up their glasses and clink them together. As they drink, Sherman peeks out from the corner of a wall.

Sherman: *whisper* Mr. Peabody?

Mr. Peabody: Sherman?

Sherman: Can I talk to you for a minute?

Mr. Peabody: Of course. Excuse me.

He then walks to Sherman with a smile on his face, albeit Sherman's current scared state.

Mr. Peabody: I've really hit it off with Penny's parents. I say we can file this night under 'Unqualified Success'!

Sherman: I'd hold off the filing if I were you.

Mr. Peabody: What do you mean?... Where's Penny?

Sherman: Um... Ancient Egypt

Mr. Peabody: *gasp* You used the WABAC?!

He then rubs his temples angrily after hearing that Sherman disobeyed him after telling him NOT to show her the WABAC

Paul: What's the matter big guy? We're running low!

Mr. Peabody growls angrily and looks like he's about to choke Sherman, but he can't. So he peeks out the corner to answer Paul.

Mr. Peabody: Um... I'll be right with you Paul. *back to Sherman* How could you do such a thing?!

Sherman: She didn't believe me when I told her about George Washington not cutting down a cherry tree.

Mr. Peabody: So you took her to meet George Washington?!

Sherman: Yeah, she was into it.

Paul: Hey Peabuddy!

Mr. Peabody turns around to see Paul and Patty walking towards them.

Mr. Peabody: Hey!

Patty: Where's Penny?

Mr. Peabody: Playing hide n seek

Sherman: Pooping.

Mr. Peabody: Pooping.

Sherman: Playing hide n seek

Paul: Well, which is it?

Mr. Peabody and Sherman go back and forth at their mock excuses, the Petersons start to get suspicious.

Paul: Hey. What's going on here?

Paul: Yeah. What's going on here?

Paul: What have you done with Penny?

Patty: Penny?

Paul: Penny? Penny?!

Patty: Oh my god!

Paul: Where's our daughter?!

Patty starts to panic, while Paul looks at Mr. Peabody very seriously. He then clears his throat to address the two concerned parents.

Mr. Peabody: Its hard to say Paul, she could be here, or here, or here, ore here...

He waves his fingers around Paul and Patty, capturing their attention. He then snaps his fingers, sending them into a frozen trance.

Mr. Peabody: That will hold them. I learned that trick from a swami in the Begawan Giri in Ubud, Bali. Let's go!

Mr. Peabody and Sherman speed down towards the WABAC and in a matter of time, they arrived at the location Sherman said he took Penny.

Mr. Peabody: Ancient Egypt. Land of the pharaohs. A beacon of progress on the horizon of humanity, but a cruel and barbarous civilization just the same. I just hope Penny isn't suffering too badly.

The WABAC activates its cloaking device and lands on top of a building to let the time travelers out
