DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN OR TIME SQUAD

"Penny will you please get back here!" Mr. Peabody ordered the young girl as she ran down the road of 15th century France.

"Don't worry I'll get her Mr. Peabody!" Sherman promised chasing after the blond girl.

Peabody smiled as he pursued after the two kids. It always warms his heart to see how lively Sherman has become since befriending Penny. It has been about 2 months since that fateful day that Penny Peterson first discovered about the WABAC and started joining him and Sherman's escapades through time. While she can be very rambunctious at times, she has surprisingly proven to be a very good pupil. Often asking questions about details leading up to a particular event rather than just accepting his brief explanations the way Sherman often did. While he does find her adventurous spirit a delight, he does wish that she'd be more careful during these trips, especially since she nearly dies every time she runs off. By the time he caught up with them they were standing in front of a small house.

"Is this the place?" Penny asked.

"Yes, this is the home of Joan of Arc, the legendary heroine that led France to victory over the England during what was called the 100 Year War. It is around this point that she's suppose to receive a message from God instructing her to lead France's armies against the England." Peabody lectured.

"Then why she selling souvenirs to the English army?" Sherman asked.

"Say what?" Peabody quickly looked over to where Sherman was pointing. Sure enough Joan of Arc was selling merchandise to the Englishmen from what she was calling the Arc Tours! "This isn't right," Peabody observed. Just then a flash of light shot down from the sky and a trio consisting of a big man, a small boy, and a robot appeared.

"Is this the place?" the man asked.

"I believe so," the robot answered.

"Hey there she is!" the boy pointed at Joan of Arc. "And she's a tour guide? She's suppose to be a soldier and general!" the boy reiterated.

"I'll handle this!" the man said rolling up his sleeves and cracking his knuckles. Mr. Peabody and the kids cringed as the big man proceeded to beat the living daylights out of all tourist before turning his attention to Joan of Arc. "Listen here missy! Just because you're a lady don't think I won't knock you some! So shape up and do history right!" the man yelling at the poor frighten girl.

"Mr. Peabody, is this suppose to be the message from God?" Sherman asked.

"I don't think so," Penny said skeptically. "But they're definitely not from around here."

"No they are not," Peabody agreed. "And I don't approve of what that man is doing either." Peabody walked over to the trio before the situation got out of hand. "Excuse me gentleman"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A GENTLEMAN!" the man yelled taking offense to being called that.

"Hey it's a talking dog!" the boy yelped.

"I can't believe it," the robot gasped. "Are you Mr. Peabody?" the robot asked. Peabody nodded. "So that means," the robot started looking around until he spotted Sherman. "You must be Sherman! Two of the greatest time travelers in history!"

"Hey don't forget about me!" Penny raising her hand.

"Who are you?" the robot asked, causing Penny to scowl.

"I could ask you the same question, seeing as how you already know me." Peabody replied.

"Oh do forgive me, where are my manners." the robot laughed. "I am Larry 3000, and my companions are Buck Tuddrussel and Otto Osworth. We are Time Squad." Larry showing their badge.

"Time Squad, never heard of you," Peabody said.

"Well we are from the year 100,000,000 AD!" Larry explained.

"A peaceful utopia where there are no longer any problems to solve. All nations of the world have merged into one, there are no wars, no pollution, and bacon is good for your heart!" Buck jumped in.

"I see, so what exactly are you doing here?" Peabody asked, liking the idea that bacon will soon to be good for you.

"Well," Larry projected a holographic image of a rope. "Think of time as a rope, the older it gets the weaker it becomes, and it slowly starts to unravel. Causing discrepancies throughout history." the holographic rope began to come apart during the explanation.

"Yeah and the mission of Time Squad is to correct these discrepancies to make sure history happens the way it's suppose to!" Otto added eagerly.

"I see," Peabody understanding vaguely. "And I'm guessing that you terrorizing Joan of Arc with physical violence is your idea of correcting the past?"

"No physical violence is just Tuddrussel's answer for everything," Larry said dryly.

"I see, well allow me to be of some assists," Peabody offered. Larry squealed with excitement about the prospect of seeing a legend in action. Everyone watched as Mr. Peabody, using a lot of complicated words, manage to convince Joan of Arc to give up her little souvenir stand and join the French military.

"And he did it without raising a fist. Not like some people." Larry glaring at Buck.

"Aw but that's no fun," Buck complained.

"Well seeing as how our mission here is done, let's go home!" Otto suggested.

"Yes, and we better be heading back as well," Peabody agreed. Just then they all heard some kind of siren sound coming from Larry.

"Oops, looks like we've got another mission," Larry reported.

"Can we stay and help them Mr. Peabody?" Sherman asked.

"I think we've had enough adventures for one day," Peabody said.

"Please?" Penny begging as well.

"Oh alright, but only if you two do as I say!" Peabody instructed. Both children promised to do so, but Penny had her fingers crossed.

"Actually the discrepancy is you!" Larry pointing to Mr. Peabody. "Or rather her," Larry now pointing to Penny.

"Me," Penny gasped in disbelief. "Why me?"

"Here look at this," Larry said projecting holographic clips from the 1960's Peabody's Improbable History show. "You see, there's Peabody and Sherman, but there is no girl. I'm afraid that you having this girl with you is a time discrepancy that must be corrected. In fact according to this, you where never suppose to have met at all."

"That's ridiculous, me and Penny met at school!" Sherman argued.

"Oh there's the cause. You're not suppose to go to school." Larry said to Sherman.

"Huh?" everyone gasped.

"According to the history files, Mr. Peabody uses the WABAC to home school Sherman all the way to college. You never went to school, ergo you never met uh this girl here or anyone else from your time period, and she never becomes a time traveler." Larry summarized. "Now that we know the problem we can easily fix it."

"You mean I can't time travel anymore! That's not fair!" Penny cried.

"Mr. Peabody can't you do anything?" Sherman begged. He didn't want to lose his best friend like this.

"Indeed, surely we can work out a compromise," Peabody suggested.

"I'm sorry, but as fellow time travelers, you must understand the importance of making sure that history happens correctly." Larry lectured.

"Quite true," Peabody nodding his head. "I'm sorry Penny. Come on let's go home."

"But Mr. Peabody," the two kids whined. Feeling dishearten and a little betrayed that he's not doing anything to help them.

"Sherman! Penny! Get in the WABAC!" Peabody barked. The two kids sulked as the entered the WABAC. Peabody immediately set the coordinates for home. No one said a word as the red sphere traveled though the time stream until it arrived back at Peabody's apartment.

"Mr. Peabody, can I spend the night here please?" Penny asked after exiting the WABAC.

"Of course, I'll call your parents and let them know." Peabody said understandingly. Penny smiled sadly as she followed Sherman to his room. After they've gone Peabody picked up his phone and called Penny's parents. "Hello Paul, it's me Peabody. No, no Penny is fine. Well anyway, is it alright for her to spend the night here?" ' #$%&*!?' Peabody had to point his phone away and cover his ears due to all shouting her dad was doing. After Paul calmed down a bit Peabody resumed talking to him. "Yes I understand, but well something has come up and she really needs to be with Sherman now. No it's nothing like that. I'll tell you everything tomorrow. It's best if I tell you face to face. Thank you for being so understanding." Peabody sighed after hanging up his phone.

Feeling tired and thirsty, Peabody went to the kitchen to get himself a drink. As he was mixing himself a smoothie he thought back at what the robot said about following history. As a scholar, his brain said to do the right thing and just do as history dictated, but as a father his heart said to do what's right for Sherman. Taking his drink with him, he walked over to the pictures on wall. Looking at the many pictures he and Sherman has taken from their time travel exploits, he recalled all their happy memories, and near the end he spotted the first picture they took with Penny and her parents. Taken just after that time warp catastrophe. Peabody chuckled recalling all the trouble they went through that day. The following pictures were more of their adventures through time, only now Penny was with them. Usually when either Sherman or Peabody is rescuing her from some trouble that she's gotten herself into. One thing was clearly obvious, Sherman looked a lot happier in those later pictures than the earlier ones. Peabody then started thinking about the clips that Larry had shown them. While there was no audio, he was able to read their lips, and much to his disdain, his counterpart treated Sherman more like a pet than a son! And that's something he couldn't stand for! "If that's the life Sherman had in the original time line, then he's better like this! Screw Time Squad and their mission!" Peabody decreed throwing his cup to the floor.

"Really Mr. Peabody do you mean it?" he heard Sherman saying happily. Peabody turned to see Sherman and Penny peaking around the corner. Their faith in him restored.

"Does this mean I can still time travel with you?" Penny said hopefully.

"Of course," Peabody promised. "I just need to think of a way to get Time Squad off our backs. And I think I may have an idea." Peabody pondered.

Meanwhile in a floating space station in the distant future. Otto was at the computer looking at Peabody's historic files. The moment he saw Sherman he felt a kind of kinship with him and now he knows why. Both he and Sherman are orphans and found families with time travelers. If things were different they might have been friends, but now it's possible that he hates them for what they are doing to Penny. While Otto was brooding the time alert rang all over the base.

"Looks like we've got a mission," Tuddrussel said.

"Alright when are we going?" Otto asked excitedly. A mission is just the thing he needed to get his mind off of Sherman.

"Looks like the early 21 century," Larry activating the time teleporter. Sending the trio to the time discrepancy.
