A/N: Now to clarify for everyone, this story is not cancelled, nor is it placed on hiatus. I was just busy with some personal issues, so I couldn't squeeze the time to update. Now this story is still on and I will continue it.
Chapter 11: Just Smile
The WABAC arrives at Florence, Italy during the Renaissance era in 1506. Mr. Peabody and Sherman have visited here before, but as for Penny, this is her first time visiting this particular era in history. The trio exit the red orb and into a vast forest area, as the WABAC turns invisible. Mr. Peabody and Sherman wear Italian robes, although Mr. Peabody's robes are green and open, while also wearing a white undershirt, while Sherman wears a blue robes to closed midsection. Penny now dons a slim blue renaissance dress with somewhat poofy white shoulder covers. The dress is elegantly shown off with some golden accents throughout the outfit. Penny takes one look at her dress and smiles a wide smile.
Penny: I look gorgeous!
Mr. Peabody and Sherman share a few heartfelt chuckles as she spins around in her outfit in constant efforts to show off.
*pause*
...
Sherman: Always trying to be a bit of a show off, aren't ya?
Penny: What can I say? I just had to show it off. I like it.
Sherman: well I will have to admit. You do look cute in that dress.
Penny lets out a small giggle from Sherman's compliment.
Penny: Stop it Sherman! You're making me blush!
...
*play*
Sherman: So what are we doing here in Florence, Mr. Peabody?
Mr. Peabody: We're going to visit an old friend of ours who I know can help us get home. Leonardo da Vinci.
Penny: But he's a painter and an inventor. How does he know about the WABAC?
Mr. Peabody: Elementary, my fellow new companion. There are some tricks up the man's sleeve.
The trio make their way through the woods to appear in front of a large mansion like home, which is the residence of Da Vinci himself. They run up the steps and stand in front of his large doors which probably stand at maybe 15 feet tall. Mr. Peabody raises his paw to knock on the door, but suddenly gets interrupted by a certain voice shouting.
?: I can't even-a tell my left brain from-a my right anymore! How many times do I have to tell you Mona Lisa?!
Penny: Mona Lisa?
Mr. Peabody: No! No no no no!
Before Mr. Peabody could stop Penny from doing the deed, she pushes the doors wide open for all three to walk in. There they see a particularly interesting scene, Leonardo da Vinci arguing with a woman who might be what he and Penny could refer to as Mona Lisa. Next to them, was one of da Vinci's most famous paintings the "Mona Lisa". However it is incomplete as it still needs one final touch... her smile
Leonardo da Vinci: We won't be finished until you smile!
Mona Lisa: Leonardo, tell me-a one thing I have-a to smile about-a!
Leonardo da Vinci: The sunshine, the pasta, all the things that make Italy such a popular tourist destination!
Mona Lisa: But-a I have-a not seen ANY of them, Leonardo because I sit here all day in my a-bonanza!
Mona Lisa crosses her arms and plops on the patted bench beside her. While Leonardo was looking to pull all his hair out, even his beard.
*pause*
...
Penny: Poor Mr. Da Vinci. He had to put up with Mona Lisa's antics for such a long time.
Sherman: He looked relieved when he saw us. Hehe.
Penny: It is pretty funny though.
Sherman: You're not gonna drive me nuts one day, are you?
Penny: Oh... I don't know...
Sherman: Penny?
Penny bursts out in laughter while Sherman only groans as he's already starting to feel Leonardo da Vinci's suffering.
...
*play*
Sherman: *whispers* I don't think that means "chair" in Italian.
Mr. Peabody clears his throat to catch Leonardo da Vinci's attention.
Leonardo da Vinci: Ah! Peabody! My old friend! What a welcomed interruption. Believe you me, this woman is-a making me nuts! So how you been? Good to see you. What do you want?
With a wide smile, he hurries over to the three time travelers.
Mr. Peabody: We are in desperate need of going back home, but the WABAC requires a jump start, so I thought, Who better than Leonardo da Vinci to send us on our way
The Renaissance artist smiled and nodded at Mr. Peabody's assumption, but quickly frowns.
Leonardo da Vinci: Peabody, I would love-a to help you, but you came at a very bad time. I don't-a know what I'm gonna do with this crazy woman!
Mona Lisa sticks out her tongue and spits, acting like an immature child.
Leonardo da Vinci: You see what I mean?!
Mr. Peabody: What seems to be the problem?
Leonardo da Vinci: What is the problem? I am-a halfway done with the painting, but she won't even smile!
Mona Lisa: Fine! I smile!
She then places her hands on her cheek and smiles a smile similar to a smile most modern day celebrities would use.
Leonardo da Vinci: NO! That's a fake-a smile! Everybody knows that! Why don't you make-a the real smile?!
Mona Lisa: Why don't you say something funny?!
Leonardo da Vinci: I paint-a the paintings. I make-a the machines. I DON'T-A TELL-A THE JOKES!
Mr. Peabody: Perhaps I can be of assistance.
The canine prodigy walks toward the two arguing individuals.
Mr. Peabody: You see, humor is not immune to the laws of science. Using algorithms, we can extrapolate what is universally considered funny, thereby producing a formula that is scientifically certain to produce laughter. Case in point... The pratfall.
Mr. Peabody opens his arms away from each other and falls to the floor on his face, making the floor bop his nose. However, nobody laughed. Not even a chuckle.
Mr. Peabody: Is everyone amused?
Mona Lisa only raises an eyebrow as means to say that wasn't funny. Mr. Peabody then rolls on his back.
Mr. Peabody: Strange. The data was so clear...
He interrupts himself by bonking his head on the canvas of one of Da Vinci's paintings. It wobbles from side to side making it nearly topple to the floor. Sherman goes to try to help his dad.
Sherman: I got it.
Mr. Peabody: Sherman! Wait!
But it was too late. The paintings g smashed onto Mr. Peabody in which Penny makes a face that kinda says "Ooooh! That's gotta hurt". Mr. Peabody gets up in front of Penny and gives her a glimpse of him as he has his head smashed through the painting... of a woman, with his head replacing hers. Mr. Peabody then shows this ridiculous display towards Da Vinci, Mona, and Sherman. Suddenly... Mona Lisa starts laughing, and eventually, so did Sherman and Penny.
*pause*
...
Penny and Sherman laugh inside the dark empty theatre as they watch Mr. Peabody on that painting.
Penny: Oh my gosh! That never gets old!
Sherman: That's one of the actually funny things Mr. Peabody ever did!
They keep laughing and gasping for air as they play the movie again.
...
*play*
Leonardo Da Vinci sees Mona laughing and smiles.
Leonardo Da Vinci: Perfecto! The perfect smile! Hold it right there! Don't move! Don't move!
Da Vinci goes to grab his painting tools as Mona Lisa stops laughing and smiles her iconic smile.
One finished painting later...
Leonardo da Vinci: Well Peabody. Now that-a my mess of a painting process is over. I will-a help you three get home.
Mr. Peabody: Excellent Leonardo. Let's get started right away!
So Leonardo da Vinci, Mr. Peabody, Sherman, and Penny head outside to build a method on recharging the WABAC, and heading back home.
*pause*
...
Penny: I'm hungry Sherman.
Sherman: I guess watching ourselves on the big screen can get pretty hungry. What would you like?
Penny: Nachos!
Sherman: You want some cheese with those nachos?
Penny: No. I want chocolate pudding. Of course I want cheese!
Sherman giggles at Penny's joking manner.
Sherman: Okay I'll be right back.
So Sherman leaves the theater to get some snacks.
To be Continued...
A/N: Sorry this took so long, I was personally suffering a writers block. But don't worry. I'll try to get this back on track. I'll try to update this story simultaneously with 'Mr. Peabody and Sherman: Transformers". So bear with me...
