Hello readers. So this story is a series of very random one-shots and drabbles that I'll post as I think of them. Most of these will take place between the first and second movie. The will also mainly be humor with a bit of angst every now and then. This is also my first Night at the Museum fanfic so please be kind.
Chapter 1 First Real Conversation:
In the Egyptology exhibit Ahkmenrah sat on top of the closed lid of his sarcophagus. He sat with his back to the hallway staring at the tablet on the wall in front of him.
He preferred to stay in his exhibit alone. The main reason being is that he knew that most of the other museum inhabitants were fearful of him. He couldn't really blame them for that though. The old night guard, Cecil or whatever, Ahkmenrah didn't really care, had told them he was evil and must never be let out. Which is why he had been trapped in the dark, stuffy sarcophagus for fifty-four years. Then again his banging and screaming hadn't done anything to help alleviate their fears, he couldn't help it though, and he would have stopped if they had just let him out. He was also a bit fearful that if he did something wrong he would be locked away again, but that wouldn't happen if he was alone. So there he sat studying his tablet.
oOo
"I have to go. Apparently a fight started between Rome and the Old West...again..." Larry explained to his son before hurriedly making his way to the Hall of Miniatures. Nicky watched him go before he started to leave the lobby as well to go and explore the museum.
oOo
Thirty minutes later Nicky was walking through the hall that would take him past the Egyptology Exhibit. He paused and looked in seeing Ahkmenrah. He walked in and came up behind the pharaoh. He didn't pay any attention to the large stone jackals, who just watched him as they didn't think the boy was much of a threat to their king.
"Hi!" Nicky said and Ahkmenrah jumped as the sudden greeting cut through the silence. He turned around and looked at the night guard's son.
"...hello..." He responded a bit unsure as to why Nicky was there. The boy just grinned at him and climbed up onto the lid of the sarcophagus so that he was sitting across from the pharaoh.
"You know we haven't really introduced ourselves." Nicky stated. Ahkmenrah tilted his head to the side. "Yes we did. A couple of nights ago..."
"I don't think that really counts. Cause my dad introduced me and we were trying to get the tablet back at the time." Nicky explained, and Ahkmenrah nodded. "True."
"Yep so I think we should redo it."
"Alright"
The boy smiled and held out his hand. "I'm Nicky." The pharaoh took the offered hand. "Ahkmenrah." They shook hands. After they let go Ahkmenrah noticed the boy raise an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Nothing really, just that's it?" Nicky got a confused look in response. "You're not going to say your fancy introduction? "I'm the forth king of the...uh...forth kingdom...pharaoh of Egypt... something about land and umm my father..."" Nicky said trying to repeat what Ahkmenrah had said when they first met. He also lowered his tone trying to copy the pharaoh's voice and his accent. Ahkmenrah started laughing at the boy's attempt, and Nicky started laughing too. They quieted down after a couple of minutes.
"You know I think you should have a nickname."
"Why?"
"Well Ahkmenrah is kind of long..."
"Yes I suppose it is."
"Okay, umm how about Rah?" The pharaoh shook his head, "No that is the name of the sun god."
"oh right, how about Ahk?"
He thought about for a second then nodded his head. "That will do."
"Sooooo, Ahk how old are you?" Nicky asked and the other just raised an eyebrow at the sudden subject change.
"...eighteen..." He responded after a couple seconds. Nicky's smile grew.
"You're only like eight years older than me." He said happily.
"Well technically I'm over four th-" The older teen started to say but was cut off by Nicky.
"Nope, eight years!" He held up eight fingers as he said this as if to help emphasis his point.
"Okay, eight years." And Ahkmenrah couldn't help but laugh.
