{Putting up Augustus!!! :)}

Lyon peeked into his mother's room to find her sound asleep. It was five in the morning and the sun had barely risen above the horizon. Two small robins had nestled on a grill just outside Lyon's window. Lyon slipped into Amylia's room and a placed a note on her desk

"Dear mum,

I'll be gone by the time you wake up. Don't worry. Its just a one day hangout with my friends. I'll be back by evening.

Lyon"

Today was the D-day. The day the three plan to go to the Smithsonian. Lyon quickly ran across to the orphanage. His face fell when he saw the gate closed. "Open only at 7am?? Dang!", he exclaimed, rubbing his forehead. Suddenly he thought he heard his name but dismissed the thought. He heard it again, only more audible. Lyon looked up to see a face plastered against the lobby window. He squinted at it and realised it was Diana.
-----------------------------

This day sucked, the first thought in Diana's mind as she was pulled off her bed by a scary Elsa. Elsa, on the other hand, humming Happy by Pharrell Williams, did her hair in front of the mirror. She was set on getting to the museum with or without Brenda's knowing. Her determination surprised Diana. It had been just two weeks since they met and lots had changed.

Elsa looked out of the window and saw Lyon approaching the front gate. "Dia," she called, "Lyon's here but we forgot about the gate. Its opened only at seven and its just five am." Diana made an 'oh' expression and tapped her chin with her forefinger, thinking. "I have an idea.", she spoke up, "Remember the creeper?"

"Are you out of your mind?!", Lyon mouthed to Diana who rolled her eyes from the window. She wrote something on her drawing pad and held it up. "Elsa did it. Now its your turn so do it." "She can fly.", Lyon mouthed again. Diana underlined the words 'do it' and held the pad up. Lyon gave out a sigh and looked up. He swung his bag over the wall and jumped over the cream-painted barrier.

The girls' room was on the fourth floor facing the front. Next to their room was the janitor's closet having a window on the right side of the building since their room was on the far right. Clambering up the wall, next to the window was a thick ivy creeper. Diana's plan, clamber up the ivy to the window which the girls will open and then come into their room.

Lyon tightened the straps of his bag onto his shoulders and gazed up at the ivy. Elsa and Diana stood at the open window of the closet. Breathing out, Lyon materialised two knifes in his hands. Sticking them into the ivy as holds, he put his feet up one by one, wobbling slightly.

Elsa winced as she saw Lyon struggling. He carefully stuck the knives and climbed up slowly. Suddenly Diana tugged at Elsa's sleeve. "Elsa! Some guys are coming this way jogging." "Oh no!", she muttered and it seemed as if Lyon had noticed too. He desperately looked at the girls, looking for help as he was two floors up. Suddenly an idea popped into Elsa's head. "Lyon!", she called down, "Move sideways."

"What?"

"Move sideways. Stick the knives into the creeper and move sideways. Get behind that tree." A tree stood in the premises of the orphanage which was a hangout for the kids who loved climbing. Lyon looked at Elsa with an 'are you nuts?' expression. Doing as he was told, he slowly side stepped on to the ledge and climbed sideways and ended up behind the tree. The girls ducked as the joggers passed. Looking up to see if the coast was clear, they signaled to the nervous boy to come back.

Lyon took steps to the side and reached the vine. Slowly regaining his balance, he continued sticking his knife and clambering up. When he reached the window, the girls pulled him up. Grinning at them, Lyon flicked the knives and they disappeared. They went to 616 and seated themselves. "There is no way we can go to the Smiths. Brenda won't even hear about it.", Diana started. She and Lyon looked at Elsa who was smirking.
