Battle of the Smithsonian, Revised

by arwenishtar

I know that some of you, at least, have already rewritten this movie. While I acknowledge, these wonderful, imaginative stories, this is my version of how this film should have played out; namely, what I think could have happened if Ahkmenrah had been included like the scriptwriters had originally planned. It's very rough, so please go easy on me. Thanks!:)

1. Chapter 1

Remake of Night at the Museum 2, Battle of the Smithsonian

Chapter 1

Larry Daley was still talking with Teddy Roosevelt, getting ready to say his goodbyes to the museum inhabitants. The atmosphere was bittersweet, as most everyone was miserable at the idea of leaving. Wrapped up in his own fog of misery, Ahkmenrah returned to his own exhibit; he'd always hated goodbyes.

Just as the young pharaoh was settling into his cramped sarcophagus, he felt strange, as if he'd forgotten something. Sighing, he sat up for a bit, staring at the wall behind him; a wall that looks oddly blank...

"Where is my tablet?!" he cries as he begins searching frantically. ""It's only a half hour until dawn. Where is it? I could have sworn I left it on my table..."

Just then, he spots a familiar tail as sit whips around the corner, followed by mischievous chatter.

"Dexter! Give that back!" Ahkmenrah ran after him, but by the time he reached the entryhall, the Capuchin was nowhere to be found.

"This isn't funny, Dexter. It is nearly dawn!" A bump and more chattering give away the monkey's hiding place in one of the crates. "Ha! Got you!" Unfortunately, the one thing he forgot was Dexter's cute persuasiveness. All that tiny monkey had to do was gaze up at him with those huge, goo-goo eyes and a trembling smile, and the young pharaoh's heart melted.

"Now come on, don't look at me like that. I can't handle that smile..."

(Monkey speech)" I just don't want the magic to end for us just because some stuffy directors decided they don't want us anymore. They shouldn't be allowed to split our family up! It's not fair, and I won't stand for it!"

"I agree. What do you propose to do about it?"

Conspiratory monkey chattering

" Take the tablet with us? From this museum?!"

More chattering

"And if anyone notices I'm missing, or the tablet is?"

They won't.

"Larry might worry..."

That's why he left us right after becoming a success story, eh? He was more interested in that strange box than in our situation!

"You have a point." Much like everyone else, Ahkmenrah felt abandoned by the former night guard; that night had pretty much confirmed his suspicions that Larry had moved on from their little family.

Dexter was right,- it was up to them to save their family.

"Very well, I'm in. After all, what's the worst that could happen?"

If only he had known.
