Night at the Museum X Reader

Another round

The trio came back to the museum and looked around. "Hello?!" Gus shouted. "Larry? (Y/n)? Guys?" Cecil asked as he looked around. Larry and (Y/n) suddenly jumped in front of the trio and screamed as loud as they could, startling them as they jumped back. "Oh, don't do that! We're too old for surprises." Cecil said. "Really? I thought you liked surprises. Like how you surprised us... with the fact that everything in the museum comes to life at night!" Larry shouted. "Yeah, remember that?" (Y/n) snarked. "Guys, we wanted to tell you. You never would have believed us." Cecil said. "Do you have any idea what we've been through tonight?" (Y/n) asked. "What?" Gus asked. "She said do you have any idea what we've been through tonight, Gus?!" Larry repeated furiously. "Keep a lid on it, butterscotch!" Gus snapped. 

"Oh can it, grandpa!" (Y/n) snapped back. "We don't even know if what happened was real or not, but we did not sign up for this." Larry said. "Exactly!" (Y/n) said. "I just need a regular job that... that is not life-threatening and pays my bills." Larry said. "So thank you very much, and I left my uniform in the office, and I will be seeing you." (Y/n) said, and she and Larry stormed out. "Larry! (Y/n)!" Gus shouted after the duo as they left, and Larry waved while (Y/n) flipped him the bird. "Dad." Nicky said as Larry and (Y/n) walked out of the museum. (Y/n) stopped and looked at the little boy. "Hey, buddy. What are you guys doin' here?" Larry asked in surprise. "Erica had to be in court early this morning... so I'm taking Mr. Big Stuff here to school. But he wanted to swing by to see you in the new job." Don said. "It's so awesome that you're working here." Nicky smiled, and Larry smiled back. "Who's this?" Don asked, referring to (Y/n). "Your new girlfriend?" He asked teasingly, and (Y/n)'s and Larry's eyes both widened. "Oh, no! No! No! No! She's uh... she's my new work colleague. Yeah, she uh... helps me out at the museum. Guys, this is (Y/n), (Y/n), this is my son Nicky and my friend Don." Larry said as he introduced everyone to each other. "Hi." (Y/n) smiled and waved at them. "Hi." Nicky said. "It's nice to meet you." Don said. "You too." (Y/n) smiled at them.

"Hey, Niko, want to take a little look-a-doo inside? Maybe your dad and his new friend will give you a V.I.P. tour." Don said. "You know what? We're pretty slammed this morning. Yeah, but, Nicky, I promise, we'll... we'll show you around soon, okay? Deal?" Larry asked. "Deal." Nicky said, then he walked over and hugged him. "Bye, Dad." Nicky said. "Bye." Larry said. "Love you." Nicky said. "Love you too, buddy." Larry said, and (Y/n) smiled at the sight. "Bye now. All right." Larry said. Larry then sighs and walks back inside. The trio turn around and see him. "Hey, Larry." Reginald said softly as he saw him. "So, I was thinkin' maybe I'll give it one more night." Larry said. "I'm glad you came around. Welcome back." Cecil said as he smiled at Larry. "He's not the only one." The four turned around to see (Y/n) and she smiled at them. "Good. Glad to have you back too, Miss (Y/n)." Cecil said. Larry looked at her in surprise. "Hey uh, could you... give us a minute?" Larry asked. The trio smirk playfully as Larry walked over to (Y/n). "Look, you don't have to come back." Larry said. "I know, but I want to." (Y/n) said. "Yeah, but after what happened last night I don't know if you should-" 

"Larry," (Y/n) began, and he looked at her. "I don't really have any other options. This was the last job I could afford to take. I want to stay and help you. I don't want you doing this alone." (Y/n) said. Larry looked at her for a long moment, then sighed. "Okay. Alright." He said, and she smiled. "You! New night guards, here, now." Dr. McPhee said. "What's up?" Larry asked as he and (Y/n) walked over. "What's up? Well, take a walk with me, and I'll show you, Mr. What's Up. Come on. So, would you kindly do me the favor of explaining this?" They followed him over to Jed's display and saw them frozen with Jed trying to execute Octavius and (Y/n) face palmed. "Oh, Jed..." she said quietly. "Okay. I'm guessing... and I'm just spitballing here, but... looks like that Roman dude got cocky and climbed over into the Wild West. And that cowboy knows the Roman dude wants to take over his territory... so he rounded up a posse and put him in the stockade." Larry said, and (Y/n) looked at him in disbelief, knowing Dr. McPhee wasn't going to believe him. Dr. McPhee then pretended to laugh. "Let's all laugh at me, the comedy night guard. No is the answer. Sarcasm back at you, with your humor box. I wasn't laughing. I was pretending to laugh, if that's what you want, some sort of battle of humor. Do you?" Dr. McPhee asked, and Larry shook his head. "No. I don't want a... No, I don't want a battle of humor." Larry said.
