"Why are we here again?" Alvin asked. "We're here to see the new mummy exhibit, Alvin." Simon said. Today the munks were taking a trip to the history museum. It had been several weeks since they had helped the fish people, Gilbert and Gillian, escape from the clutches of the corrupt casino owner, Evan McGregor. "I know that, but why? I mean there's so many cool things out there we could be doing and instead, we're here. Why?" "Because it was my and Jeanette's turn to pick where we went for our triple date and this is where we decided to go." "But, this is too much like school. Come guys, it's Saturday. We should be doing anything and everything that has nothing to do with school." "Such as?" "Going to the movies. I'd love to see zoo of the dead." "'sigh' First of all, Alvin, your not old enough to see that movie. None of us are. Not without Dave or Miss Miller anyway. And I thought you wanted to go on dates without parental supervision." "I do. But, I love zombie movies enough to make exception to that rule. When we get home I'm going to see if Dave will take me to see that. Or maybe mom, now that she's got her driver's license. Man, that was hard to get huh?" "Well, considering that she had no official birth certificate and that we had to hunt down the proper papers as substitutions, I'd say yes. Yes it was hard to get. But, we didn't go through all that just so you can go to the movies, Alvin. And besides that, you know mom's still hesitant behind the wheel." "Yeah, I know. But, I really want to see that movie. It's part of my training." "Your training?" "Yeah. I mean, look at all the monsters we've met so far in our lives. Things that aren't supposed to exist outside of movies and things, and yet they do. Vampires, fish people, werewolves, Frankenstein monsters. It's only a matter of time before we run into zombies. And I don't know about you, but I want to know every zombie killing trick in the book in order to get ready. Which means I need to see every zombie movie I can see." "You know, Al, I'd normally say that there's no way zombies could exist, but considering all the impossibilities we've seen proven possible, I don't know if that argument would hold much water." Jeanette said. "See?" Alvin said. "Okay, okay. Zombies may be a possibility in our future. I certainly hope not, but it might be. But, come on, Alvin. Haven't you already seen all the zombie movie there are?" "Yeah, but this is a new one. It might have something new for me to learn." "I doubt that. Anyway, that's enough talk about zombies. This is what Jean and I picked, so this is what we're doing." "'sigh' Fine. Let's go. Who knows? Maybe revived mummies is what next for us. Could be helpful to know all I can about mummies just in case."
Alvin then led the group into the museum. The group headed through the museum, looking at all the exhibits in sequence until they eventually came to the mummy exhibit. The group then split into the three separate couples and spread out around the exhibit. As Alvin and Brittany stared at the ancient clothing section of the exhibit, a question formed in Brittany's mind. "Alvie?" "Yeah, Britt?" "Say we were living in a zombie outbreak and I got bit and you had a gun in your hand. Could you, you know?" "Put you out of your misery?" "Yeah, and I mean before I turned. Could you do it?" "No. Pure and simple, no. Britt, I love you. I could never hurt you, let alone, well, you know. I doubt I could even fight your zombie. I'd probably end up getting bitten by you. I know that might not be the answer you were looking for, but that's my answer. I just couldn't bring myself to do it." "That answer's fine, Alvie." Brittany said, kissing Alvin's cheek. "Amazing!" They heard Jeanette yell suddenly. They turned to see Jeanette staring at Alvin. "Alvin, come here. You'll like this." Alvin shrugged and walked over. Brittany followed. "Sup, Jean?" Alvin asked. "Read this." Jeanette said, pointing to the exhibit information sign. Alvin looked up first. He saw a large, darkly colored sarcophagus before him. Even the face of the sarcophagus had a dark look to it. Alvin then looked down at the information sign. "According to translated hieroglyphs, this the sarcophagus of Aapep, the sorcerer. According to ancient legends, Aapep was a magician of high renown. However, he let his ego run away with him. He challenged the pharaoh of his time for the right to rule. Aapep waged war against the pharaoh, using his 'powers', but was eventually defeated through some unknown means. For his crimes, he was sentenced to be mummified alive. But, before his mummification, he promised that he would one day return to the living world and reek havoc by draining the life from the living. And so, on his sarcophagus, the phrase ' he who opens this sarcophagus shall unleash evil upon the world' is written." Alvin read out loud. "Sounds like it's cursed." Brittany said. "Yeah. Heh, now that's something interesting. I wonder what this Aapep guy was really like." Alvin said.
Meanwhile, an Egyptian man wearing a dark coat and a necklace with ancient symbol as it's medallion had just stepped off of a plane. "So, this is Hollywood, eh? I can sense it. This place is full of life. It will be the perfect feeding ground for my master." The man reached into his pocket and pulled out a blood red gem. "Soon, master Aapep shall rise and reap his revenge!" The man said, clutching the gem tightly in his fist. He then walked away.
That night, the man broke into the museum. He emitted a strange energy from his hands and blew out all of security systems around the museum. "That should buy me some time. Now then, to the master." The man walked over to the mummy exhibit. He examined the sarcophagus. "This is it." The man waved his hand and a pulse of energy blew open the sarcophagus's lid. The mummy stood inside almost evilly. The man walked up to the mummy and placed the blood red gem on the mummy's chest. "Rise, Aapep! Ruler of this world! Rise!" The man shouted. The gem suddenly sank into the mummy's chest. Then evil looking, red colored energy began to pulse through the body of the mummy. Suddenly, the mummy's eyes and mouth opened. The mummy then let out a blood curdling scream. "AHHHHHHH!" "Yes, master. Live again. Live again!" The mummy then slumped forward. The man caught the mummy. "Easy my master. You have just revived. I shall take you somewhere you can relax. Come, let us leave this place."
