So think of this as an alternate ending or maybe an optional chapter. Basically I felt like the way I ended the last one wasn't very good. I wanted to end the story but still leave myself open for maybe using Martin in a sequel or future story. And if this chapter happened then Martin would be unknown to Peabody. So if I make any future stories with Martin then just pretend this chapter never happened.

Peabody woke up. He was sitting in the chair in his lab near the memory machine. The first thing he noticed was that everything was blank. He couldn't remember anything that happened. The last thing he remembered was being at Thrillz talking with Daniel Ericson.

"How did I end up here?" he thought.

He noticed one of his laptops sitting in front of him. There was a video waiting to be played with a message telling him to play it. Peabody hit the play button and an image of him sitting in the very same seat in his lab popped onto the screen.

"Hello Peabody" he began "You may be wondering why you're missing memories from the past couple days…."

The older Peabody watched as his younger self continued speaking.

Peabody sighed and said "The truth is… You deleted them, or rather I will. We made a choice recently, a choice I'm not happy we made. There's no way we can change it. And I can't live with it. So I've decided to remove all memory of the incident. It involves that new memory device we created. Sherman was kidnapped, but don't worry, we got him back. But then something happened that created alternate universes and I remembered each one because of that brilliant device of ours. In order to keep Sherman we had to make a choice, a life and death choice, between Sherman and another person"

He took a shaky breath.

"I chose the former of course. Unfortunately our memory fragmentation is too great, what with there being memories from multiple universes in our brain. The WABAC can't remove only the memories of the alternate universes, it's all or nothing. That's also why I will have to knock myself out. I've instructed Sherman to under no circumstances reveal what has happened to me. Since he doesn't have the device I can't alter his memories. Love him Peabody, love him like there's no tomorrow. You never know when he could be taken from you…" Peabody leaned forward and stopped the video.

It ended and Peabody sat there dumbstruck.

"Huh" was all he could say.

FIN

Hoped you enjoyed my first multichapter fanfic. I feel like I may have rushed it at times, but overall I think I did a good job. Now that you have the whole story let me know in the reviews what you thought of it in general and what I could've done better. I may take some of those suggestions, because I intend to polish this story. But for now I'm taking a break. I also may go back to my first one-shot and add a second chapter as multiple people have requested it. Until next time!
