Ahkmenrah and I, along with the others have been shipped to the museum in London where mine and Ahkmen's are said to be at.  I am hopping they will be able to help us what is going on with the tablet.

Originally it was only meant to be, Ahk and I but the others felt we needed help with this task. We have just woken up from our sleep and hear a knock. Ahk opens up the door reviling Larry and Nicky

"How we doing?" Larry asks

"All clear" I respond

"All right, let's go"

"Larry, the others felt, perhaps, we could use some help"

"The others?"

"Our friends" I smile at Larry

"Lawrence, I couldn't sit idly by. Our very survival is at stake" Teddy pops out a crate.

"All right. Hey, Teddy. Good. Good man to have in a crisis" the Atills pops up "Attila. Okay, a little muscle" then Sacagawea.

"Hi, Larry" she sheepishly says.

"That is a deceptively large box" I nod in agreement.

"Obviously, we came along, too. You know you'd be lost without us, Gigantor" Jed and Octavius shown in Attilas hat Then Dexter comes out

"Are you serious? and the monkey. All right, basically everyone!"

"Dada" Laaa yells

"Oh no, no. No possible benefit whatsoever"

"He really wanted to come" I shrug. Laa looks at Nicky confused.

"Yeah, this is my son... my actual son, Nicky. Nicky, this is Laaa"

"He's tracking me"

"So, Lawrence what's the plan of attack" Teddy asks

"We need to get to the Egyptian wing, find Ahk's father... and hopefully get the tablet fixed. All of us" Laaa starts to eat the packing peanuts "Laaa, that's not for eating. That's not food. Don't... You know what? I got a job for you. Come on, come on. Come on" Laaa and Larry walk over to a door "I want you to stay here and watch this door, okay? Make sure nobody comes in or out. Okay? Good. You're gonna be a guard, just like me. All right. No. Come here.
Stay here... and put your hands on the door. Good, stay. Stay! Good. That's right. You stay here. Stay here. Stay. Right. No. Stay. Stay. Stay. Look there.
Good. Stay. No. Good. Stay. No. Stay. Stay! Don't...
Don't move. Don't move. No. Good. Okay"

Larry finally comes back over to us "okay, listen up, guys. This place is waking up for the first time... and we have no idea what's out there, so stay together, all right" we begin walking down a hallway that's dark.
We then walk into a room full of statues, some missing limbs and crawling on the floor

"What kind of haunted hootenanny is this, boys?"
Jed whispers.

"We're all finding this super creepy, right" Nicky now states.

"They're just a little freaked out"

"First time we came alive it took some getting used to" Teddy speaks

"Hey, there. Just heading to Egypt. Come on. This way" we walk down another dark hallway. I take Ahk's free arm and squeeze it for a comforting manner. "hear that?"

"Hear what?" Nicky frowns as a dinosaur walks in front of us.

"That"

"We'll just be down here if anyone needs us" Jed whispers.

"We're not scared. It's just more comfortable" Oct now whispers and they slide into Attila's hat.

"Lawrence... I think it's safe to say that we're in a bit of trouble"

"I know how to handle this guy. You mind?" Larry takes a horn from a hog that hung on the wall.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"How do you think I tamed your pal Rexy. Hi, there. I bet you're not so mean, are you? I bet you're not so mean. No, you're just a little puppy, right? your just a little puppy who wants to play. You want to play? want to play fetch? yeah? you want to play with this bone? yeah. Here you go. Go fetch. Go fetch" Larry throws the bone and at first the dinosaur chases it, but it then snaps in half

"Lawrence?" Teddy says

"Yeah?"

"May I suggest a different plan? run!" Teddy yells as the dinosaur raws.

Running in heels is not fun because I tripped over my self, but good thing Ahkmen was right next to me when I had fallen.

We run into a room.

"Close it, close it!" Teddy tells us the close the door.

"Okay. I think we're... get back!" the dinosaur breaks down the door "everybody, get back! all right. You don't want to fetch. Fetch on this" Larry hits it with a stick which does nothing, but out from the shadows comes a shiny man.

"Need some help? move" the man fights the dinosaur who swishes it's tail and Attila gets knocked down.

"Attila, you okay?"

"Here hold this" the man gives Larry a sword that's heavy. The man hits the dinosaur and it runs off
"That was actually very cool" Nicky looks in amazement.

"Sir Lancelot, at your service" the man takes his hat off

"Thank you. That was amazing"

"Theodore Roosevelt... President of the United States of America" Lancelot and Teddy shake hands.

"I have no idea what that means"

"I'm Larry, and this is my son, Nick"

"You have a noble face, Nick"

"Thanks" Nicky says confused. I look at Ahk confused and he shrugs

"Thanks for the help"

"Now, you... You remind me of a man I once knew at Camelot"

"Really? one of the Knights of the Round Table?"

"No, Erik"

"Erik?"

"Our fool. He was the funniest fool I ever met. He was so good, he didn't even have to do anything. He could just walk into a room and you'd laugh. You have what he had. The gift. You could be a fool"

"I don't know about that"

"Oh, come on, of course you could! we get you one of those hats with the funny little dangly bells"

"Dangly bells?" Lancelot starts to laugh and imitates what he believes Larry just sounded like.

"Larry, the tablet"

"Yeah so we've got to get going, so..." but before we can leave Lancelot looks off into the distance
"Camelot. Someday, I shall return to its mighty towers... to King Arthur... and Queen Guinevere.
Sweet... beauteous Guinevere. But I'm sworn not to until I have completed my quest. I must find the Holy Grail"

"The what?" I frown

"Well, good luck with that. And thanks for the help again. We got to get to Egypt, so we'll see you"

"I will lead you"

"No, it's okay"

"Halt, Dangly Bells. There is strange magic in the air, and dangerous beasts are afoot. It is the duty of a true knight... to protect and care for those in need. We're off"

"I guess he's coming with us" Larry says looking back at me and Ahk. This Lancelot guy is going to be annoying.

"Larry" Attila tells us that Jed and Octavius had fallen somewhere while we were running and now we don't know where they are.
