A/N: Peabody and Sherman have been through lots together, but nothing could prepare them to solve the mystery of a possessed house in the 1970's with the help of famous Paranormal researchers, Ed and Lorraine Warren. This is "Peabody and Sherman in 'The Conjuring'". Yes, this is a story where Peabody and Sherman travel back in time to experience a horror movie based on events that happened in real life. So, enjoy!
Sherman came home from school groaning and fell backwards onto the couch. His adoptive father, Mr. Peabody walked up to Sherman and sat down next to him.
"Sherman, is something the matter?" the beagle asked his son.
"I have to do a report on two people I don't even know" Sherman complained muffled into the pillow, but Peabody could be able to understand it.
"It's not someone you chose?" asked Peabody. Sherman got up and looked to his dad.
"No, the teacher assigned them to us. I was gonna do it on you if we were free to choose, but instead I have to do it on..." Sherman paused and took out a piece of paper from his black shorts pocket, unfolded itand read the names on it aloud.
"Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren. I have no idea who those people even are" Sherman said. Peabody's ears perked up when he heard the names.
"Wait, Ed and Lorraine Warren?" asked Peabody. Sherman nodded.
"Oh, those names bring back memories" said Peabody as he walked over to another room and came back out a few minutes later with a photo album.
"Ed and Lorraine Warren are old friends of mine" said Peabody as he opened up the book and flipped open to a page with a photo in black and white of Mr. Peabody with a man, a woman, and a creepy porcelain doll at their feet.
"You know them? Who are they, then?" Sherman asked. Mr. Peabody cleared his throat and spoke.
"Ed and Lorraine Warren are world renowned paranormal investigators. They help people with ghost problems. This case was the very first one I helped them with" said Peabody.
"Really? What was going on?" asked Sherman.
"The doll you see at our feet, my dear Sherman is Annabelle. The doll was a vessel for something dreadful... a demon" Peabody explained. Sherman was shocked to hear this now.
"A demon?" asked Sherman to make sure he heard his father correctly.
"Yes, a demon. The doll belonged to two girls who were roommates and nurses at a hospital. The doll was used as a conduit to try and get inside the body of one of the girls. We had called an exorcist to bless the apartment and we locked Annabelle away for good" said Peabody.
"Can we go see them? I'd like to get an interview with them if that's okay" Sherman asked. Peabody thought about it for a brief moment and then shut the book.
"Alright, but I have to warn you. Paranormal investigation is a serious job, it can be dangerous if not done properly" said Peabody.
"How hard could it be to get rid of a couple of ghosts?" asked Sherman like it was nothing to him.
"Very well, follow me. We're heading to 1971, a time where the Warren's most famous case took place" said Mr. Peabody as he lead Sherman to the WABAC chamber.
As soon as the coordinates were set and the time was set, they traveled to a tall college building and the father and son duo got out.
"Here we are. As of now, they are giving a lecture to a class" Peabody said. They walked into the building and went to the auditorium by following the arrows. Before Mr. Peabody could open the doors, the doors opened up by themselves and a bunch of students accidentally bumped him to the ground.
"Are you okay, Mr. Peabody?" asked Sherman as he helped his dad up.
"Yes, Sherman, I'm quite alright. No broken bones, no bruises, no bleeding. I'm fine" Peabody said casually. The white beagle spotted Ed and Lorraine at their car putting stuff in the back.
"Come with me, we're about to meet your famous person report subjects" said Peabody as he walked up to the car.
"Ed, Lorraine!" called out Peabody. Ed and Lorraine looked to notice Mr. Peabody standing next to the front of their car with Sherman.
"Mr. Peabody, wow. How long has it been?" asked Lorraine.
"Far too long, my dear Lorraine" Peabody said as he took Lorraine's hand and planted a kiss on it.
"It's nice to see you again" Ed piped in.
"Likewise" said the beagle. He then noticed Sherman standing behind him and spoke back to Ed and Lorraine.
"Ed, Lorraine, this is my son, Sherman. He has a report to do for school, and his teacher assigned them a certain person to write about, and he got assigned to you guys" said Peabody.
"It's nice to meet you" Lorraine said as she shook Sherman's hand.
"I think it would be a good idea, wouldn't you think so?" asked Ed to Lorraine about the report.
"Why not?" she said.
"Excuse me" a new voice spoke up. All four looked behind them to see a tall, tan Asian man with a pale white woman with bruises on her arms standing next to them.
"Yes, Drew?" asked Ed.
"There's someone here who wants to speak with you" Drew said. He then left her to talk with them.
"Hi, I-I'm Carolyn Perron. I think there's something going on in my house" said Carolyn with nervousness in her voice. Peabody recognized the dread in her voice.
"Okay, um, we'll take a look at it in a wee-" before Ed could finish, Carolyn spoke up.
"No, I need someone to look at it right now" Carolyn said with fright.
"You have a daughter, right? You would do anything for her. That's how I feel for my family. Just, please" Carolyn begged. Ed, Lorraine, and Peabody looked to one another and then spoke.
"Alright, we'll be there first thing in the morning" Lorraine said.
"Thank you" Carolyn said with hope beaming on her face with a weak smile and then walked away.
"Would you like to help us handle this one?" asked Ed to Peabody.
"The honor would be all mine" said Peabody.
"And since Sherman has a report to do, I don't see why he can't help too" Lorraine said.
"Yes!" Sherman cheered.
"Also, you're welcome to stay with us while we're working" Ed offered.
"Thank you, Ed" Peabody said. He got in the car in the backseat and Sherman got in with him. When the car drove away, Peabody rolled the window down and stuck his head out and howled at the wind being blown in his face.
"Dog instincts, they get in the way sometimes" Sherman said to Ed and Lorraine as they saw what Peabody was doing.
