I DONT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT THE PLOT AND JESSIE

It seems like only yesterday I was greeted by my adopted dad, Larry and his son Nick on a live dinosaur skeleton. I was too shocked to scream but Nick insisted for me to go to the museum Rexy, the dinosaur.

Really it has been about three months and I have become apart of the museum family.

I spend most of my time with Sacagawea, being one of the only women in the whole museum but when she is with Teddy, I'm either playing with Rexy or hanging with Jed and Octavius.

Today was different. I need to complete a history essay, about 3 pages for my Grade 10 Advanced Ancient History class.

As you except, I do my History Homework at night when my dad is working I just talk to the exhibits but this essay was stepping out of my comfort zone.

I had just started school and Advanced Ancient History meaning Egypt was first up.

I hadn't ever spoken to Ahkmenrah fully. He had just said hello occasionally and asked how I was but he spent a lot of time with Nick. They really hit it off.

I was with Sacagawea in front of her glass case as she was braiding my hair to look like hers.

"Jessie, what's wrong?" She asked, a little concerned.

"I have an Ancient Egyptian Paper due next week but I have never spoken to Ahkmenrah. How can I suddenly interview him?" I asked her looking at her expectantly

Sacagawea acted like a mother to me. I was technical Nicks mum and Larry's adopted child but I rarely see her, let alone talk to her.

"Ahk is really nice. Just pretend it's me your talking too..."

"Sure, because I so want to talk to Ahk about periods and what hairstyle I should were to school!"

She laughed and finished braiding my hair and sat next to me.

"Ok, pretend it's Nick then, you two talk a lot right?" I nodded. Nick was five years junior to me and he talked to me about a lot of things. It's cute listening to him go on about his teachers.

"Yeah, I can do that... Perfect timing Teddy!" I gave Teddy a smile and said, "See you tomorrow night" to Sacagawea.

I walked down to the main entrance to see Ahkmenrah inspecting a wheelie chair.

"I always wanted one of those chairs- OH are you ok?" I had startled him with my sudden appearance and he was trying to get up quickly when he hit his head on the table.

"I am fine Jessie. It is fascinating how it works." His eyes were wide with wonder. He then turned to me and smiled

"How can I be of service?" I laughed nervously.

"Well, I have this essay due on Egyptian gods and goddess and I need to write about a god or goddess to study and I was hoping you could help me?" I smiled at the end hopefully.

"I would be honoured. What would you like to know?"

"I was assigned to the goddess Ma'at. All I know is that she is the goddess of truth and in the afterlife your heart is weight on scales with her feather and if her feather was heavier or the same, you could have a safe passage into the afterlife and if it wasn't then your heart will be eaten by this crocodile thing…" He laughed.

"Crocodile Thing, you mean Ammunt, the devourer and as for the feather, it represented truth and justice and helped determine whether the deceased person had indeed been virtuous and if like you said, the heart weight less than the feather or the same the person had been virtuous and would be taken to Osiris…"

"Isn't Osiris the god of Mummification?"

"So they do teach you kids something useful in school." I laughed.

It had been three days since I had Ahk help me with my Egyptian essay and there had already been a huge relationship improvement. It was like just talking to him about a truth goddess (well more a concept than goddess, or at least that's what Ahk told me) helped us both speak more often.

Now instead of running off with Nick, he actually asks me how certain things worked like the wheelie chair or the microphone.

Larry had to come down to the entrance to see what was the horrible sound that was on the speakers when really it was me doing an impression of my History teacher. Ahk and I went red in the face with laughter and Larry, well just left us.

It was like, all of a sudden the museum family expanded from Sacagawea, Octavius, Jed and Rexy to Ahkmenrah.

I'll admit, I get on with the other exhibits and I see them quite often like Teddy whenever he carries Sacagawea off but I spend so much time with these people I can't fit everyone in. Today, I pursed Sacagawea to take me to see the others as well. She seemed to be estactic at the fact it wouldn't just be us talking but everyone.

Three hours till sunrise and we were all sitting in a circle out in the front (Nick and Larry included) playing the most childish games.

"One more round of Hide and Seek?" Everyone pleaded. Larry sighed and looked at each of us.

"Alright fine, Ahk you are it this time."

"My I point out Larry that I was it last time?"

"Fine, I will be it!" He said getting up and standing in front of Rexy's empty podium.

I sprint down the hall until I came up to Ahk's room. I nodded at his guards who just remained still but they had a Don't-Touch-Anything look.

I hid behind the entrance, right next to the gate when I felt something on my shoe.

"Psst, Jessie it's me!" Jed whispered urgently.

"Octavius too right?" I said knowingly hearing the Roman run down the hallway.

"Here." I lowered my hand and let them climb aboard.

I heard Dexter come my way and I whispered "Dexter! In here!"

Dexter followed obediently and wrapped himself around my legs, which was cosy.

"I thought I heard you Jessie!" Ahk was in front me, he had obviously been hiding behind his tomb and I giggled.

"Well, I am amazing at this game…" Ahk ran back behind his tomb with a hint of a smile.

Larry had found Teddy and Attila by the time he found myself, Jed, Octavius and Dexter. I motioned towards Ahk's tomb and he understood.

He slowly crept around while Ahk slowly come around the other way. He ran before Larry knew what had happened and we both laughed as we ran, Dexter on his shoulders now, down the hall and almost into Sacagawea.

She yelped and joined us on our run around the museum and too the front where Teddy and Attila were, sitting gloomily waiting for someone to come.

"Teddy, Attila go and hide somewhere. Let's scare Larry!" They both laughed and hide somewhere, Attila and Dexter in between the columns and the rest of us under the tables.

Larry came running and was whipped to his feet by a passing by Rexy who couldn't control his tail.

"I FOUND YOU REXY!" He yelled after the wild dinosaur.

"Teddy? Atti- AHHHH!" We jumped up and yelled "Boo!" childish but effective.

"You are becoming a bad influence on Jessie." He said, half serious and half amused.

"Yeah well, Larry it's up to me who influences me correct?"

We all laughed after a few minutes of silence.
