Author's Note: This chapter is short, but the next chapter will be much longer and a lot more interesting, because it's just getting the ball rolling. Also be aware that this is my first published fanfiction. I have written fanfiction before, but I never finish them, and I don't like published works that go unfinished. With that said, do enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, just the story written.


Al took a stroll around the museum in hopes that something or someone would ease his bored mind. He was not surprised when he set his eyes on the miniatures, knowing that it would be them. As he approached, he had no idea what they were up to though. It looked as if they were posing in front of a small, screened device.

"What the heck are you guys doin'?" he asked curiously. There was a beep that emitted from the small device, and the two miniatures broke their stance. They turned in unison to face the young gangster.

"Hey there Al!" Jedediah greeted, a short wave as he did so. "We're taking selfies."

If no one knew any better, they would have said that Al's expression was one of disgust, but in truth, he was just deeply confused.

"A what?" he questioned, crossing his arms.

"A selfie. It's taking pictures of yourself," Jedediah explained. He then put an arm around Octavius' shoulder. "Or with friends." He smiled at his buddy, as did Octavius in return.

"Okay. So this..." Al began, picking up the device involved, "is a camera?"

Jedediah half chuckled, releasing Octavius.

"Well, sorta. It's a phone."

This was a surprise. He had seen telephones before, but they looked nowhere near to what he was holding in his hand, as they were not flat or cordless. They did not have a screen either, and they could do nothing more than to contact people from a distance.

"Wow! I ain't ever seen a phone like this before," inspecting it further. Looking at it though, there was not a lot he could learn about it.

"It is a rather unique piece of technology, it has to be said," Octavius spoke, finally able to get a word in this time past that cowboy mouth of Jedediah's. "You can imagine how we thought when we had learned of this, as we both come from a time before you, Mr. Capone. Especially myself."

Jedediah nodded in agreement.

"True that. It's fun t' learn about the things today 'as to offer, ain't it partner?" Jedediah turned his head slightly to look at Octavius.

"It certainly is, my friend."

Al merely continued to listen to what the two had to say before talking again.

"I suppose I won't have too much to learn then compared to you two. That's a little bit sad actually, I'm finding myself quite bored some days. That's why I'm here," Al told them.

The miniatures looked at each for a second, then nodded.

"Tell ya what Al, let us teach you how to use this, then you can take it with you. I'm sure ye mind will be less bored with that in your hand," Jedediah confirmed with a smile on his face.

Al's eyes lit up. Finally, something to set his mind to.

"I'm sure it will. Okay fellas, show me how this thing works."

A good thirty minutes had passed since Al came into contact with the miniatures. He had learned a considerable amount of knowledge about the mobile phone. He knew how to make calls, though he had no one's number to dial, so for now this was not useful to him. It mattered little anyway, because who would he call? None of the other exhibits had any sort of telephone on them. At least not yet. Besides, what Al was interested in was using that camera in possessed. Pesky thoughts came to mind at what he could do with that.

"Looks like ye all set to go, Grey! Let us know how ye git on," Jedediah said, hands on his hips in his typical cowboy posture.

"Be sure of it, Blondie," Al grinned, half in agreement, half at the nickname.

Jedediah did not protest though, as he knew he had that habit with nicknames on many exhibits and Larry. A bit of friendly banter was all it was.

"I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun, Mr. Capone," Octavius spoke up.

Al nodded.

"You can bet on it. In fact, I know exactly what I'm gonna do."


Napoleon will be in the next chapter, and stuff goes down. :)
