Years Later
Larry set up a new planetarium program so we all getting ready for the grand reopening, but for the last few weeks I haven't been feeling well, which is very strange. Now tonight I feel even worse, weak and I have been coughing, like I am right now
"My love are you alright?" Ahk asks me
"Ahk something not right. Is the tablet safe?" I ask. Ahk walks over to the tablet, I walk behind him and we notice a green erosion. Ahk and I look at one another before he runs off to find Larry. Not long later Ahk returns
Have you ever seen it like this before?" Larry asks
"Never. This corrosion has never happened before. It's always been exactly the same"
"I wonder what's up with it"
"I have no idea. And to be honest... my father knew the secrets of the tablet better than I did. Unfortunately, he swore he'd never reveal them. He never did" I start coughing again just as Ahk looses his balance
"You both okay?"
"Yes I'm ok" I answer
"I'm fine"
"Just take it easy out there tonight, all right? you guys have got 15 minutes till showtime. We're gonna figure this out tomorrow" Larry walks out of our exhibit
"I'm nervous about tonight" I announce
"I know. So am I" Ahk pulls me in for a hug.

Ahk and I watch on the sidelines as Teddy starts
"Since 1869, when I was a mere boy of 11... this museum has been a shining beacon to our great city. Tonight we'll expand our horizons even further... to the Sun, the Moon, and the stars. From our very beginning mankind has looked to the heavens and given names to what he saw. The constellations. I thought you might like to meet them" Sacagawea opened the door and all the stars come flying out. Dexter then comes out doing tricks but then it all starts to go wrong. I begin coughing as Ahk has to hold onto a pillar for support.

Everyone is now sat on the staircase looking disappointed in themselves, even the animals
"Guys what was going on out there? seriously what were you thinking? Attila what were you doing with that dolphin man? their the most peaceful creatures
and you're hacking into it like it was The Cove or something. Did you see the look on Regis Philbin's face?"
"Reeju?" Attila says sadly
"Yeah, Reeju. Teddy, what were you doing pointing a gun at me?" Larry now turns attention to Teddy
"Forgive me, Lawrence. I don't know what came over me"
"Do you even remember that?"
"Not at all. Laaa, shut that down!" Laa is the new caveman. He seams to have taken a liking to Larry "It's a defibrillator. Put it down. It's dangerous! Laaa, that's electricity. Those aren't headphones. Stop it!" Dexter then start to wee on Larry which makes him angry "Oh! Hey! Whoa! Dexter! What are you doing? Honestly, if you're gonna act like a baby, then I'll get you some diapers. You want diapers again?"
"Ease up on the reins there, hoss. Can't you see? He feels terrible! Hell, we all do!" Jed says to Larry
"I don't know what's going on with everybody here... but tonight was really weird. Really weird"
"We feel awful. Something took hold of us like an evil spell" Octavius now adds
"Yeah, like we just weren't ourselves" Jed finishes
"Could this be to do with Ahks tablet?" I ask
"Maybe. I'll see if I can dig anything up"
"Woah cowboy what's going on with the tablet"
"Nothing for you to worry about" Larry checks his watch "it's nearly sunrise. Everyone go to your exhibits. I'll figure this out ok?" we all nod our head and get up. Ahk and I make our way to the Egyptology Department and into our sarcophagus
"Larry will help us, he always does" Ahk says as we lay down. The Jackals coming over to put our lids on
"I know, I'm just worried that this will be 3rd time unluckily" I sigh as I'm consumed with darkness. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
