They had laughed their way through the episode, having to rewind many, many times, to see what they had missed while they were laughing too hard.
They had worked out that they would be able to watch 12 episodes that night, but had only just finished the seventh one when Larry announced that it was almost sunrise over the museum intercom.
The two leaders of the miniatures were still giggling as they travelled back to the diorama rooms, the blond cowboy almost crashing the RC car more than once.
After they had climbed out of the car, the roman started quoting the last episode they had watched, and the pair, who were only lightly chuckling by now, started laughing all over again.
They fell into each other, collapsing onto the floor, and that was where Larry found them just after sunrise - Octavius laying across Jedediah's legs, huge grins, and obvious laughter, etched across their frozen faces.
It was a rather adorable sight, and Larry chuckled lightly to himself as he picked them up - a single piece - and carried them to the security office. Hopefully Dr McPhee wouldn't notice the missing miniatures, though, knowing his luck, he definitely would.
