Night of the Museum: Dakota's Style

Larry Daley had to figure some way to help his friends back at the museum. He didn't mean to leave them two years ago but his life was thrust out in a different direction. They were being shipped in the morning to the museums of all museums: The Smithsonian! This was the biggest museum in the world and he had to sneak inside to get his friends when they would arrive. Larry needed to figure out a plan, but first he wanted to get back to his friends before dawn. But really people, haven't you ever wondered what or who happened at the museum while Larry was gone? This is the story of Dakota, the girl who changed the museum and Larry Daley's life forever…

Dakota's POV

I walked through the hallways of the museum thinking to myself. I couldn't believe they were shipping everyone out and replacing them with the "thing of the future." I just wouldn't stand for it. These were my friends. They took me in when I had nowhere else to go.

I had snuck into the museum three months ago after I left home. Well if you want to call it home. There wasn't anything back there for me: nuf said. At first, I was freaked out when I saw the exhibits alive. I thought I had bumped my head and I was in a rerun of 'Days of Our Lives.'

They had been really nice and actually took me as part of their crazy family. We had great times. Rexi and I had fun wrestling and playing fetch. He was actually really sweet. Teddy had taught me a lot in life. He was so wise but yet had a sense of humor. Everyone each had something unique about them and I loved them each and every way too.

I turned the corner into the main room. I wanted to make sure to spend my friends last night here with them. I looked up and was shocked to see Larry Daley talking to them. I had heard a lot about him and seen pictures of his day as a night guard. I thought he seemed really cool but I never got to meet him since he had quit. Just then something popped into my head. If anyone could help my friends, it was him.

As I was thinking, I didn't pay attention to me tripping over a bowl and making a loud 'BOOM.' My face had red plastered on my face as every stared at me. Larry looked like he was about to have a cow when he saw me. I guess he figured I was going to tell the whole world.

"Geez Pip squeak…a bit louder and I think even Santa Claus could have heard you." chimed Jedidiah. I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him.

'Smart ass.' I thought. I looked up at Larry.

"Uh…Who are you?" He asked looking very confused.
