Chapter 3:

Once Sherman and Peabody got into their penthouse, Peabody noticed that Sherman went directly to his bedroom, and that was pretty weird, because when he came back from anywhere, Sherman usually told Mr. Peabody everything that happened to him that day. But this time it was different, Sherman was acting in a weird way, so the white beagle decided to see what was wrong with his son now.

Peabody went to Sherman's bedroom, but before he could even get in, the young boy went out wearing his normal clothes but with his hair perfectly brushed and smelling a male perfume.

-Sherman... what's wrong?-

-Mmm... Nothing, Mr. Peabody-

-Is that my lotion?-he asked sniffing him

-No, Mr. Peabody-he said hiding something behind him

-Sherman?-he asked one more time extending his hand/paw

Sherman sighed and gave him his lotion back.

-Can you tell me what's going on?-

-Nothing, Mr. Peabody... it's just...-

-Yeah?-

-Well, Mrs. Smith asked us to make a project about a free theme with a partner... and... Well... I have to make the work with Penny Peterson... and she's coming here-

-Penny Peterson?!-Asked Peabody shocked.-The same Penny Peterson who humiliated you yesterday? The same girl who "hates you"?-

-Mmm... Yeah, she-he said a bit shamed.-It doesn't bother you, right?-

-Of course not, Sherman... but why are you trying to look so good for her? I though you "hated her"-

-Well... I only want to give her a good impression... I mean, that I'm an organized kid-

Meanwhile, at Penny's bedroom

-Ugh! Relax, Penny... It's only a stupid Project-she said as she was brushing her hair.-Once this finishes, everything will be back to the normality and I won't have another contact with that know-it-all red-headed dog...-

Penny went to her closet to choose her clothes.

-Uh!-she growled angrily.-I don't have any clothe to wear! Why is this happening to me? And my hair looks horrible! Uh! Why? Hold on a second…-she said calming herself down.-I'm going to Sherman's' house... SHERMAN! It isn't someone I'm interested about... why am I even worrying about this?-

So, she put her pink dress on and her black diadem on her hair and went out to go to Sherman's penthouse.

Meanwhile at the penthouse

-Mmm... Well, Sherman... In my opinion you're pretty presentable... for a girl-

-What do you mean, Mr. Peabody?-he asked a bit confused

-Nothing, Sherman... If you need anything, I'll be at my room, working on my new project-he said turning back and walking to his bedroom

Sherman stared at him wondering what he meant for a few seconds, until the ring rang and from the elevator's door Penny went out.

-Good morning, I'm here to deliver a bones cheese pizza for a boy-

-Ha, ha!-he laughed sarcastically.-Just get in-he said a bit angry

Once Sherman and Penny got into the kid's room, Sherman went to his laptop to find an interesting theme on Google, but Penny was only focused on her phone, touching the phone's screen on the apps menu... and that irritated Sherman.

-Penny, you should be looking for an interesting theme like me-

-Yeah, I'm in, MOM-

"That's it" he thought.

-Ok, Penny-he stood up.-WE MUST WORK AS A TEAM! If not, we won't make the best project and everything would have been for nothing!-

-Obviously we'll make a great job! With my charming and your big doggy brain, we'll have the best qualification-

-Well, this doesn't work like this... or you give an idea or I'll talk to Mrs. Smith and I'll tell her you have done nothing!-

So Penny understood it was something serious and she turned around on her gyratory chair. She thought it for a minute until she saw something on Sherman's laptop screen.

-What's that?-she asked standing up from her chair

-What are you talking about?-the kid asked

-Your laptop background!-she asked getting closer to his laptop

-It's a personal project-he explained

-You made this?-she asked surprised

-Yeah, but it isn't actually what I've been working on-he said typing some stuff on his keyboard

-What is it then?-

So, Sherman showed his laptop to Penny and started an animation that was on his background, it was a big trip over plasma tunnels with the shape of worm, these ones were really bright and beautiful and they were appreciated on 3D but without wearing special glasses, and it was really amazing for Penny.

-Whoa!-she said excited

But in the end, the animation ended with a big crush, and it radiated a white light all over the place, it was just like a light explosion for Penny.

-Sherman... I really hate to admit it... but this is really good! I think it'd be a good theme to show at class!-

-Really?-

-Yes, of course!-

-Mmm... Fine, I think I can do a good presentation-

-Great! Mmm... I wonder if it'd look Better being a bit more realistic-

So, Penny increased the animation's realism.

-Mmm... Penny, I don't think it's a good idea-

-Shh! I know what I am doing!-

So, Penny started to watch the animation once again.

-Uh! It's too realistic!-she said a bit scared and surprised

So, the animation ended and the explosion hurt Penny's eyes and she fell on Sherman's bed.

-Penny! Penny!-he screamed worried

-Oh… Wow! I think it's enough with the normal resolution-she said blinking many times to recover her full sight

But once Penny recovered her sight, she was hypnotized for other beautiful brown tunnels... the Sherman's eyes. She has never had the chance of seeing how beautiful they really were, but she wasn't the only one who was hypnotized... Sherman was also completely lost on her light-blue eyes, until he reacted.

-Mmm...-he said ashamed and extending his hand to help Penny.-Are you alright?-

But in the moment, in which he touched Penny's hand, his heart started to beat really fast and he felt as if a chain of butterflies were caught inside of his stomach.

-Mmm... Ok, thanks for helping me-she said with a shaky voice

-No problem-

-Well... I, I think we have our presentation theme resolved… it's an advance... I think it's getting late and I have to leave-she said running to the door

-But... but we have done nothing!-

-You, just do a good animation and I'll introduce it saying some dialogues, ok?-

-Mmm... Ok-

-Well, bye, see you later, Sherman-she said this time without sarcasm and going out of the Sherman's bedroom

-Bye, Penny...-he said to himself once she wasn't there anymore
