The sun started to set, hence the magical tablet's magic started to take effect.

Museum exhibits waking up and stretching from being frozen for a while during the day, others going on with their daily routine, some going on walks with their friends or lovers.

Jedediah woke up, meeting the sound of hammers clacking, men laughing and women talking, railroad workers already getting to work, . Everything was normal if you asked the cowboy.

He ran to the nearest shed and grabbed a piece of rope, he stood at the edge of the diorama and tied the rope to the nearest pole. He jumped down the diorama and slid down, the cowboy met with the solid floor, stumbling a bit when he hopped from the rope to the floor.

He cupped his hands around his mouth "Hey Ockie! Y'know we don't have all night!" he yelled to the neighboring diorama known as Rome, trying to get the leader's attention.

After a few minutes a head poked out from the diorama, it was Octavius.

"Be there in a minute Jed! " the Roman yelled.

A few more minutes had passed, a rope was tossed and a general sliding down was seen on it. Octavius landed gracefully on the ground.

Octavius turns to Jedediah who has his hands on his hip "Good evening Jedediah, what is it that you want to do tonight?" he asks the blonde, already knowing what his companion has planned.

Jed grabbed Oct by the hand "C'mon Octagon! The new dioramas been added, heard from old Laredo that there's even a general there" he says as he drags Octavius "C'mon Octagon! The new dioramas been added, heard from old Laredo that there's even a general there" he says as he drags Octavius while they run.

"And you want to meet them? "

"Of course i do! "

Octavius couldn't help but chuckle at this side of Jedediah
"The night is still young though!"

There has been a new diorama installed, a diorama filled with Filipino citizens and Filipino soldiers. Larry mentioned that there was a general going to be added as well, every diorama needed a leader and someone to guide them. The general's name is Gregorio Del Pilar, he did incredible work during his time in the military, although he died by getting shot in the neck during a battle in the Philippine-American war.

The construction started about 3 months ago, a few renovations had to be done so of course it'll cost a lot of money, but Larry said that the board members will take care of all the fundings–from what Mcphee said to the night guard– so they needn't to worry.

So now that the diorama has been added, Jedediah and Octavius didn't waste any time, they hurried to meet the new miniatures .

–––––

They stood amongst a small community full of miniatures. They were placed on a flat space big enough for a few wooden houses on the supposed to be mountains, stone barricades and treches covering some of it's paths up to the small community.

"Oh hey guys! Seems like you got here before us huh? "

Jed and Oct turned away from the diorama to see
the night guard Larry, and the young prince Ahkmenrah.

"Good evening my Lieges, are you here to meet the new miniatures as well? " Octavius asks as he smiles warmly at them. Ahkmenrah nods "Yes, Me and the Guardian of Brooklyn thought that it would be a good idea to greet them and try to explain everything"

Larry opens the window to the diorama , a few moments later the miniatures are now free, the others looking at the giants in front of them, some looking down and yelling in their native language. "You guys ready? " Larry asked, looking at the three exhibits. They casually nod. "Oy! Nasaan kami? At sino naman kayo?!
