Can A Museum Solve Your Problems?

London Part 1

Larry, Nick and I were now in London. Larry found out that Ahkmenrah's parents were here, so now we are too. We brought Ahkmenrah and the tablet with us of course. Ahkmenrah made it clear to me that he didn't want me to come. He thought it would be too dangerous, but I clearly didn't listen. I wasn't about to sit at home and wait for answers.

Once Larry, Nick and I got into the area, Ahkmenrah opened the door. He looked shocked to see me.

"What do you think you are doing here?" Ahkmenrah asked, slightly angry.

"I told you I was coming." I mumbled.

"Arcadia, you shouldn't be here! It could be-"

"Stop it Ahkmenrah. I'm here now." As Ahkmenrah and I argued, we heard Nick ask his father a question.

"Dad, when will they admit they love each other?" Nick asked Larry. In response Larry shrugged and turned his attention to the crate. Ahkmenrah and I stopped arguing and awkwardly separated.

"Larry, the others felt perhaps we could use some help." Ahkmenrah said to Larry.

"The others?" Larry asked. First eddy came out of the box, followed by Attila, Sacagawea, Octavius, Jedediah, Dexter and then the caveman, Laa. "No, no, no possible benefits whatsoever."

"He really wanted to come." Ahkmenrah explained, earning a sigh from Larry. After Laa and Larry had a discussion, we set out through the halls. We past some creepy statues first.

"We're all finding this super creepy, right?" Nick asked.

"I sure am." I mumbled to Ahkmenrah. Next we walked down a hall with animal heads. A little ways down the hall, we began to hear heavy footsteps. A dinosaur appeared at the end of the hall. I gasped and clung to Ahkmenrah. Larry tried to play fetch with it, but that went badly.

"Lawrence, may I suggest a different plan?" Teddy asked.

"What?" Larry responded.

"Run!" Teddy yelled after the dinosaur roared. Ahkmenrah grabbed my arm and pulled me along as we ran. He made sure I was in front of him and safe the whole way. We eventually ended up in a room. Larry thought that by closing the doors it would be safe, but he was wrong. Larry began to try to fight the dinosaur, but a man in a suit of armor come to Larry's rescue. Once the dinosaur left after getting punched, the man took off his helmet.

"Sir Lancelot, at your service." The man in armor said, introducing himself. The man spoke to Larry and pretty much wasted our time. Soon after he shut up, somewhat, Attila noticed that Jedediah and Octavius were gone from his hat. We all began to yell for our little friends. We unfortunately saw Octavius's cape caught on a heating vent blowing in the air.

"At their size they'll bake like tiny little scarabs in the Sinai." Ahkmenrah said, causing everyone to look at him like he was insane. "Too dark?" The way Ahkmenrah said it made my heart skip a beat. It was a dark thing to say, but he sounded and looked incredibly attractive.

Once Larry turned off the heating vents, he attached Nick's phone to Dexter. It seems like he had some tracking app for Nick's phone. After some time of following the monkey using Larry's phone, we ran into a sleeping snake thing.

"A dragon!" Lancelot whispered, almost happily.

"No, it's not a dragon. It's a Xiangliu." Larry responded. Ahkmenrah kept me close to his side as we crept around the sleeping Xiangliu. Suddenly, the green glowing corrosion began creeping up the tablet. Instantly, Ahkmenrah began to fall over into Larry. Teddy began to talk, Sacagawea froze and Attila began to panic like a baby. I stayed with Ahkmenrah and Attila, protecting the. Really they both were clinging to my legs and each other.

Nick, Larry, and Lancelot fought the thing. It went on for a while until Larry shocked the creature. Thankfully, everyone came out alive and okay.

"Ahkmenrah..." I mumbled, clearly worried.

"I know." He whispered back. Once Larry picked up his now broken phone, Ahkmenrah spoke up again. "How are we going to find them now?" Larry didn't have time to answer. Teddy pointed out that his arm had begun turning back to wax. We needed to get to Ahkmenrah's parents now rather than later.

I was afraid for everyone's sake. Ahkmenrah's reaction to the tablet's corrosion was getting worse. I didn't like seeing him or anything of the others like that. We all just hoped that Dexter, Octavius and Jedediah were alright.
