A/N: Sorry for the recent delays again. But you get the idea.
Previously on Mr. Peabody and Sherman 1 and a Half...
Penny still stood inside the runaway horse and prompting Mr. Peabody and Sherman to go out and save her. She looks out to see she's about to fall off a cliff, scaring the girl who doesn't want an early death. But Mr. Peabody and Sherman manage to stop the horse to meet up with Penny. But when they go to leave, Penny's dress gets tangled up in a loose nail, Sherman tries to help her but shifts the weight of the horse. With no time to lose, Mr. Peabody jumps and stomps on a loose floorboard, launching Sherman and Penny off the falling horse, but Mr. Peabody didn't make it
Chapter 17: Double Trouble Part 1.
Sherman: Oh man. This was one of the most tragic moments I've ever experienced.
Penny: It just makes me feel it was my fault I made you believe Mr. Peabody died.
Sherman: What do you mean?
Penny: If I wasn't caught from that nail, you couldn't have tried to save me and maybe Mr. Peabody wouldn't have been thought to be dead.
Sherman: But if I didn't move, what could have happened?
Penny: I don't know Sherman. I just wish that didn't happen.
Sherman: Don't pressure yourself Penny. It's okay. Everything is okay.
*play*
Penny and Sherman both wake up slowly after the horse crashed to the bottom below. Sherman only repeats a name weakly.
Sherman: Mr. Peabody... Mr. Peabody... Mr. Peabody!
At the third time the name was said, he springs back up and heads to the edge. Penny follows him where they both see the wreckage that was formerly the Trojan Horse. Sherman and Penny gasp at the sight.
Sherman: Mr. Peabody!... Mr. Peabody!... Dad!...
Sherman only keeps looking up until he sits in his knees and weeps.
Sherman: Oh Mr. Peabody! What should I do? What should I do?
Penny: There's nothing you can do Sherman. I'm so sorry.
She places her hand on Sherman's shoulder but Sherman only grabs her and presses his head on her chest and cries. Penny gets startled by the sudden move, but comforts Shetman by ruffling his hair.
Penny: I'm made sorry... for everything. This is all my fault. I deserve to be down there, not Mr. Peabody. Now I don't even know if I wanna go home...
Sherman stops crying and listens to that single word. Home.
Sherman: Home? That's it! I have an idea! Come on.
Sherman springs back to his feet and runs off along the wall of the city with Penny trailing behind him. They both reach the WABAC which reappears out of nowhere, and opens the door for the two children. Sherman tosses his helmet on Penny's chair and types on the holographic computer.
Penny: Where are we gonna go?
Sherman: We're going 's only one person who can help us and that's Mr. Peabody!
Penny: What are you saying? How is that even possible?
Sherman: We have a time machine Penny! I can set it so we can go back when Mr. Peabody is still alive!
Penny: But I thought you weren't supposed to travel back to a time where you existed.
Sherman: But what choice do we have?
Sherman presses the red button to activate the WABAC but instead, red holographic screens pop up.
Error! You are attempting to travel back to a time where you exist. This could alter the space-time continuum.
Sherman swipes a red screen to show a 'Manual Override' button. He looks at it then back at Penny before pushing the button and deactivating the alarm.
Sherman: Hang on!
Sherman presses the red button and travels back home.
Penny: Are you sure this is gonna work?
Sherman: I don't know Penny. But we have to try.
Sherman successfully flies the WABAC back to the present which the blue wormhole fades away to show the WABAC chamber which first started the whole craze. Sherman and Penny then run out and head back to the living room.
Penny: But Sherman! If we do see Mr. Peabody, what do we do?
Sherman: We come clean. It's the right thing to do.
*pause*
Penny: I was still uncertain if this was gonna work you know.
Sherman: I know, but I had to try something.
Penny: But Sherman, didn't you think we might see our double selves.
Sherman: Yeah, but I couldn't think about that now.
*play*
Sherman and Penny walk out of the elevator and head to the living room where Mr. Peabody and the Petersons were having fun enjoying some homemade drinks. They clink their glasses, sharing a toast and sip their beverages. Sherman and Penny peek from the corner and whisper.
Sherman and Penny: Mr. Peabody?
The three turn around to face their kids.
Mr. Peabody: Sherman? Penny?
Sherman and Penny: Can we talk to you for a second?
Mr. Peabody: Of course. Excuse me.
He then departs from the Petersons and heads towards the kids with a smile.
Mr. Peabody: *to Penny* I've really hit it off with your parents. I'd say we can file this night under 'Unqualified Success'!
Sherman and Penny only rub their hands nervously as they speak in unison again.
Sherman: I'd hold off filing it just yet...
Mr. Peabody: What do you mean?
He then looks at the outfits they're wearing.
Mr. Peabody: Why are you two dressed like ancient... Greek...
Suddenly, he put the pieces together.
Mr. Peabody: You used the WABAC!
Sherman: I know! I did! It was terrible!
Mr. Peabody: But why?!
Sherman: Penny and I had an argument about George Washington...!
Penny: ..So I made him show me the WABAC...!
Sherman: ...then I lost her in Ancient Egypt...!
Penny: ...and I got engaged to King Tut...!
Sherman: ...so I came back and got you...!
Penny: ...But then we ran out of gas...!
Sherman: ...In Florence...!
Penny: ...then we nearly went into a black hole...!
Sherman: ...and then you died in Ancient Troy!
Mr. Peabody only crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow.
Mr. Peabody: Died? I have a hard time believing that
Sherman and Penny: It's true!
Sherman: But now you're here and everything will be okay!
Mr. Peabody: I thought I told you that you weren't supposed to come back to a time where you existed because there will be two of you!
Sherman: Yeah but the other me is still in Ancient Egypt.
Suddenly the elevator dings and out comes... Sherman?!
Past Sherman: Aahh!
Sherman: Aahh!
Both Sherman's run up to each other. While Mr. Peabody goes in between them.
Past Sherman: Who are you?!
Mr. Peabody: He's you but from the future.
Past Sherman: But I thought you weren't supposed to come back to a time where you exist?!
Mr. Peabody: My point exactly!
Sherman: I know but what am I supposed to do? Mr. Peabody died in Ancient Troy.
Past Sherman only crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow similar to what Mr. Peabody did earlier.
Past Sherman: Died? I have a hard time believing that!
Mr. Peabody: Thank you!
Penny: What are we going to do?
Mr. Peabody: Well for one, both Sherman's can't stay here!
Past Sherman: Why not? We could get bunk beds!
Sherman: I was thinking the same thing!
Past Sherman: It's so weird! It's like we're twins!
Sherman: I was thinking that too!
At this time, both Shermans, give each other high fives, but upon impact of their palms, a small tingly surge of quantum energy breaks out which diminishes upon release.
Mr. Peabody: See?! That's why there can't be two of yourselves in the same timeline. It puts too much stress on the space time continuum. What to do. Nobody, not even the Petersons must find out about this.
Paul: Hey Peabuddy!
Mr. Peabody: Um... hey!
Patty: how's it going?
Paul: Patty and I are working up quite an appetite.
Patty; Yeah, the smell coming from your kitchen is delicious. Especially that baked Alaska.
The two then notice the strange outfits Penny and Sherman both wear.
Patty: Hey what's going on here?
Paul: Yeah? What's with the costumes?
Penny then thought of a fake idea real quick to keep the heat off their backs.
Penny: It's a toga party!
Patty: a... toga party?
Mr. Peabody: Yes it is a toga party!
He spins around to make his black apron into a black toga. Meanwhile past Sherman climbs up the railing and sneaks his way behind the Petersons.
Paul: But what about dinner? I'm pretty hungry. Why don't we all head to the dining room and crack into those quails you're bragging about, huh Peabuddy?
Paul and Patty turn around only briefly. But before they could see the second Sherman, Mr. Peabody quickly stops them.
Mr. Peabody: NO! You can't!
Patty: Why not?!
Mr. Peabody: Because... um... its... so... much fun... right here... woohoo!
He then starts to dance nervously which confuses Penny's parents. Sherman and Penny also look, on in confusion. Suddenly the elevator dings and out comes an extremely overweight woman with a pink suit like outfit and a clipboard in her hands while looking at Mr. Peabody with a stern face. Past Sherman sees her and hides behind Patty's legs. Mr. Peabody recognizes the woman.
Mr. Peabody: Ms. Grunion!
*pause*
Penny : It was kinda funny to see you getting along with your past self.
Sherman: Nor as funny as Mr. Peabody's dancing?
They both share a heartfelt laugh in the empty theater auditorium.
Penny: But seriously. Ms. Grunion is such an ugly woman.
Sherman: Agreed.
To be Continued...
A/N: Well, this sure is starting to turn into double trouble. A "clone" of Sherman is behind the Petersons and the person who will judge Mr. Peabody's parenting skills finally makes an appearance. What will happen next? Find out next time for part two!
