Night at the Museum: The Pharaoh's Desert Flower

The Smithsonian

                                                                               TORI'S P.O.V.



  The trip to Washington D.C. was long and loud with Ahk and his eccentric older brother arguing in the back and Teddy was trying to console them. "Lawerence, if these two don't kill each other soon, I will.", even Teddy was annoyed with the two of them. I could literally hear them argue from the front seat it was that bad. It was a miracle they hadn't started killing each other yet. They were a clique of the sibling relationship. I rubbed my temples,"Hey you guys? Could you please knock it off? Ahk, sweetie please?" "Love I'm sorry, but he has provoked me.", my sweet mummified boyfriend informed me. "Speak for yourself brother!! You KNOW I am right!", Kah annoyingly yelled. "Ok, do we have to turn this truck around?", Larry yelled back at them, and I gave him a look, "I know, stupid question. We're almost halfway there. But we will leave you two at the Smithsonian if you two can't get along!" There was a moment of silence and then,"I shall keep my peace." "That is fine. Just admit that you're wrong, and we can-", Kah was interrupted by Ahk,"Agree to disagree."  Then there was more yelling. "Ok! Guys!! Let's settle this! Pull over, Larry.", I was a little more than frustrated at them. I got out of the truck and walked to the back to open it and glare at them. "Out. Now.", I spoke short with them as my temper flared. When Kah didn't move, I yelled at him,"YOU TOO!!" 

   "Now, let it out. Come on!! Duke it out!! You both have issues and now you're gonna solve them!", I yelled at them. "I-I.....I'd rather not.", Kah said like he was scared of me momentarily, and confused as well. Ahk took a calming breath and spoke, "There's no sense in doing this." I huffed out a breath, "Why?" "You've taken all the fun out of it. I wish not to face your wrath.", Kah said as he took his brother's hand and shook it, "We can make amends. After all, we ALL know who is right and who is wrong." Kah got back inside the truck followed by a tired and frustrated Teddy. I turned to Ahk, "What was this fight about?" Ahk was glaring after his older brother, and when he didn't respond to me after a while I stepped closer to him and shouted,"AHK!" He finally turned his frustrated angry face towards me. He looked so, surprisingly sexy when he was angry. I blushed at the naughty thoughts that swarmed my mind like angry bees looking and longing to be set free. I tried to calm myself down, but when he looked at me like that I couldn't. There was a heavy underlying sexual tension or frustration behind those beautiful greenish blue eyes. His face finally softened, and he gently reached for my hands. "I am sorry my love.", he whispered. 'I love it when he calls me that!', I gushed inside. "Ahk, talk to me. What was the fight about?", I asked him as he hopped back in the truck. "A chariot race.", I hardly heard him say probably because he was embarrassed to admit what he was fighting about. "A CHARIOT RACE?!", I shouted at him before the truck doors were shut. I couldn't believe that Ahk would be that immature to argue about a race! Unless....there was something that he wasn't telling me. I would find out soon enough. I always did. 

  When we finally made it to Washington D.C., Larry made sure we could get into the building, by stealing an employee's badge. The tablet reacted to it's environment bringing certain exhibits to life. "Ahk, can you explain to me why the tablet is 'selectively' bringing to life only some of the  exhibits?", Larry asked him with a quizzical brow. "The tablet can do many things Larry, and I know 'most' of it's secrets, but this is entirely new to me.", Ahk explained while gazing around at his new environment. "That's right. The favorite always getting to KNOW everything and getting to DO everything, while I had to fend for myself. Well, I'll have you know, baby brother, that I too learned most of the tablet's secrets, but not through mom and dad.", Kah nudged his brother aside while he stepped forward to look at the scene before him. He then turned around to smirk at his little brother. "Yes, I know.", Ahk's jaw was set as he had a little stare down with his big brother. I stepped in between them,"Guys, come on. We have to get to London. This can wait. Come on. Don't fight anymore." I then gently pushed them apart. Kah snickered at me and Ahk,"This wouldn't be the first time someone has come in between us, brother." My thoughts stopped as I looked at Ahk for an answer. "Shut up.", Ahk said with a cold tone to his voice as he stared down his brother. "Ahk? What does he mean by that?", I looked at him with pleading eyes. He grabbed my arm and pulled me away from his big brother. "You always never did allow anyone to touch your stuff. Not even your big brother.", Kah called after him with a smile in his voice. "Ahk, no! Let me go! Now what is going on?!", I yelled at him. "We need to get going, love. I can't right now. Come on let's go.", Ahk pleaded with me. "You did not tell her? What a shame!", Kah yelled after him. He stopped for a second, letting go of my probably bruised arm, "She does not need to know!" "That's right, baby brother! Keep her in the dark! It worked so well the last time!", Kah yelled after him.
