I can't believe that was the last time I'll ever get to experience all of my friends coming to life, it just makes me so sad that people can't appreciate history anymore. Nick had to hold me all the way back to Dad's apartment to keep me from breaking down.
They had been my friends for 6 years! And now I had to watch them get shipped off, never being able to spend time with them again.
Or so I thought.
We had just all settled down and Nick and I began to unpack the Chinese Dad bought. He bought a crap load of food!
Nick must have noticed it too because he asked him. "Dad, why'd you get so much? I know me and Rose eat a lot but come on! We're not that fat!"
I started to laugh and so did Nick and Dad but then we got our answer.
"Ed from work's coming over, I thought I told you guys? Well he likes to eat as much as both of you so I thought I'd get extra."
Just as we were about to eat the phone started ringing.
I got up to get it but Nick grabbed my arm and pulled me down next to him saying, "Just let the machine get it." I did as he said but when the answering machine picked up all we heard was yelling and screaming and then a very familiar voice started to yell.
"GIGANTORS! WE NEED YOU! DEXTER TOOK THE TABLET AND NOW EVERYTHING'S COMING TO LIFE HERE!"
All 3 of us turned our heads, well more or less gave ourselves whiplash and ran over to the phone.
Dad yanked it off the receiver and then started to talk. Nick pressed the speaker button down and I could just barely make out Attila and the Neanderthals in the background.
Dad then tried to talk to him, "Jed?! Jed?! What do you mean Dexter took the tablet?!" After I heard this, I screamed, "DEXTER DID WHAT?!?!"
Nick put his hand over my mouth and gave me the "shut up or you'll never find out" look.
I rolled my eyes and sat there as Nick's hostage.
We then heard Jed start to talk again, "Larry ya he tooks the tablet and ya'll need to get over here! It's chaos! Ka-men-rah is here! Akmenrah's brother and boy is he madder than a rattlesnake that choked on a mouse! Not a friendly, I repeat, not a friendly! Come quick! Come qui…. Hey give me back the talkin box! No don't do that! No…" and then the line went dead. All three of us looked from the phone and then to each other.
Dad finally broke the silence by saying, "Rosie, Nick, didn't you guys say that the museum just became a part of the Smithsonian?" Nick and I both nodded and he said, "Ya, what's that have to do with anything?"
But I caught on quicker than he did.
I was just about to tell him but Dad beat me to the punch. "That means that you guys can get us down there and help me save these guys. We're goin to D.C. and you'll get to see some of the world's most expensive exhibits come to life. Get ready for the adventure of your lives."
It took me a minute to take this all in, The Smithsonian?! So many things coming to life, all in one night, I couldn't take it. I started to lose consciousness and then I heard Nick faintly calling my name when I collapsed and I'm pretty sure I then fell into his arms.
