I don't own Night at the Museum

Wow everyone! Thank you so much for the wonderful reviews thus far. I see that there are many questions, but I shall let the story reveal the answers to your questions all in due time :D

In another exhibit of the museum, the one and only Native Indian by the name os Sacagawea had awoken from her long slumber. She was welcomed by the pleasant chirping of the birds that resided in her exhibit as she greeted each and every one them. The native held her index finger out towards one of the birds as it hopped on her finger and she gently stroked the bird's head with her dainty index finger. Even though she knew well enough that she was inside a museum, being in the presence of wax animals and a nature-like display always made her smile. It made her feel like she was at home.

It wasn't until she heard a familiar chatter as she turned her head and saw the one and only Dexter, the capuchin of the museum. Sacagawea smiled gently to the capuchin as she placed her hand over to the branch and the bird hopped off her finger. "Good evening Dexter," Sacagawea greeted him as she lowered her arm to the ground as the capuchin climbed up to her arm and rested upon her shoulder. Sacagawea was very fond of Dexter. Of course at times he was a mischievous little primate but his personality was what made him special and different from all the other animals in the museum. To Sacagawea, every animal and wax figure here was special to her. They were both friends and family and have been so for the fifty-four years that they had resided in this museum.

Speaking of being special, that bought an important person into the native's mind and a little smile upon her lips. What a good year it had been ever since she and the twenty-sixth of the United States had been together. He was kind, gentle, and made Sacagwea feel loved. The type of love that she had felt years ago when she was with her tribe until being kidnapped to live a whole other life. However, she had made up for it for that love that was lost with Teddy. He was truly a one-of-a-kind and the type of man that was one in a million for Sacagawea. As she stood there stroking Dexter, she was not aware that the president was secretly watching her by the doorway.

Teddy noticed as Sacagawea sat on the bench with Dexter and he knew that she was awaiting his presence so that they could spend the night together. However, this was something that was going to have to wait for tonight. Truthfuly, Teddy did not want to leave the woman that he loved very much alone for a couple of hours, but if he was going to go through with this surprise this was a sacrifice he was willing to make.

"Texas," he whispered to his horse, making sure that the horse quietly trotted away from the halls of the museum.

However, the trot was not quiet enough for the native had heard. Her head shot up from Dexter as she looked out to the doors of the exhibit that she was in. That's funny she thought as she got up from the bench I thought I heard something. Sacagawea walked over to the doorway of the exhibit and looked left and right. "Teddy?" she gently called out which was not loud enough to echo through the halls of the museum. "Did you hear anything Dexter?" the native asked the capuchin that was wrapped around her shoulders.

Dexter replied in a chatter indicating that he had as he pointed to the direction where the sound had come from.

Sacagawea looked at the capuchin as he pointed and smiled. "Let's go an investigate. What is he up to?" she said with curiosity as she walked to the direction where Dexter had pointed.

Larry thought about what Teddy had said to him. Don't let an opportunity pass by you. How could Teddy know about it when Larry hadn't told anyone but kept that secret to himself? Could it be because of the way that Larry looked at his significant other? Even Larry had not told Ahkmenrah how he felt about him. It may have sounded odd but just because the once Egyptian pharaoh was a mummy, that did not mean that Larry should stop loving him. The night guard just did not know if Ahkmenrah would feel the same way. He was a pharaoh and Larry, in his view, was just an average man, and he believed that Ahkmenrah could do much better. However, that did not stop him from secretly crushing on the pharaoh.

"Larry!" he heard his name being called as the night guard was broken away from his thoughts as he turned around to see who it was.

"Hey Sac," Larry greeted the native by her nickname as she walked towards him, "what's up?"

"Good evening," Sacagawea greeted him with a nod of her head as she approached him with Dexter, "have you seen Teddy?" she asked him, "I thought I heard him trotting down my exhibit but I did not see him anywhere."

Larry should've seen this coming. He raised his eyebrows as his jaw stood agape for a couple of seconds. "Uhh..." he reeled his mind to think what to say to her, "I-I have not seen him since I came in."

Sacagawea's eyes widened when he said that. "Oh my, Larry!" the native exclaimed as she looked at him with fear in her eyes, "where could he be?" she asked as she gently gripped the night guard's arm as she grew truly fearful about her lover's well-being. She knew that Teddy was a strong, brave man but she couldn't help but worry about him. He knew very well that he couldn't get out the museum during the night, for Larry did not allow it...unless given permission or unless there was an emergency. "We have to find him Larry."

Larry felt bad for how she felt but he did not want to ruin the surprise that Teddy was trying to set up for her. "I am sure he is fine Sac," he said to her, "maybe he's just preoccupied with something."

"But with what?" the native asked him.

Oh no Larry thought once he realized what he had just said. "Uhh...tending to his horse," he said as he tried to make it sound more like a response than a question but he knew that Sacagawea was smart and that she wouldn't fall for such a little white lie.

"Larry," Sacagawea said his name like a mother would to a child when they felt that their child was lying.

"What?" Larry asked as he looked at her, trying to make it look like he had no idea what Teddy had told.

"He is somewhere," Sacagawea said to him, "and I worry of him. I know that he is able to take care of himself, but I can't help but worry. I want to know that he is alright."

"Who is alright?" another voice suddenly came to their ears as both Larry and Sacagawea turned their heads to see the one and only Egyptian pharaoh of the museum. Larry smiled at Ahkmenrah's presence as he approached his two friends. "Good evening Larry, Sacagawea," he said as he nodded his head towards the two of them, "is everything alright this evening?"

"Ye-" Larry was about to answer until Sacagawea cut in.

"No," she shook her head at the Egyptian pharaoh, "Teddy is gone."

At the native's response, the Egyptian pharaoh's eyes widened. "Gone?" he echoed her words and looked at her with a perplexed expression, "by the Gods, wherever could he be?"

"I don't know," Sacagawea said to him, "and I am getting very worried the more I stand here."

Ahkmenrah then turned his head and looked at the night guard. Larry could see from the corner of his eye that the pharaoh was staring at him but he said nothing of it. "Do you know anything about this Larry?" he asked him, causing Larry to shake his head in response.

Sacagawea let out a crestfallen sigh. "I am going to look for him," she said as she looked up at Larry.

Man she sounds disappointed Larry thought and for that she did. She had not gotten an answer and Larry knew really well that it was his job to know if anything had happened. "I am sorry," Larry apologized to her, only receiving a nod from the native as she walked away from them.

It was then Ahkmenrah's turn as he turned his full attention to Larry. "What is going on Larry?" he asked and Larry could hear the stern tone of disappointment in his voice as well.

Larry mentally face palmed. Teddy would not agree if his secret was spilled out to another museum figure but Larry didn't want Ahkmenrah to be disappointment in him too. Plus, he knew that Ahkmenrah could keep a secret. "Look Ahk," Larry began as he looked at the pharaoh, "the only reason why I did not say anything to Sacagawea was because Teddy did not want me to."

Ahkmenrah beheld a perplexed expression upon his face. "How do you mean?" he asked him.

Larry took a deep breath. "Teddy is planning something special for Sacagawea since it's been year ever since they had gotten together," the night guard explained to Ahkmenrah, "and Teddy told me about this. I did not say anything to Sac because I did not want to spoil Teddy's surprise," Larry said to Ahkmenrah.

As the night guard spoke of this, a smile made it's way to the pharaoh's lips. That was very sweet of Teddy to be planning such a surprise for Sacagawea. He then gave a nod of his head to the night guard. "Not to fear Larry, your secret is safe with me," he said with another firm nod of his head.

"Thank you," Larry said to him, "I'm glad you understand."

"My apologies if I sounded unkind towards you," Ahkmenrah apologized for the tone of his voice that he had used with Larry.

"Nah, it's nothing," Larry said as he brushed it off.

There was silence between them. Ahkmenrah stood there as he briefly looked over to Larry and then at his feet whilst Larry gripped tightly onto his flashlight and and tapped it against the palm of his other hand. "Yeah...so..." Larry suddenly broke the silence, "I'm gonna go see how everyone else is doing."

Ahkmenrah nodded his head to the night guard once more. "I shall assist you," he said as he walked over to Larry and stood beside him.

Larry smiled to the pharaoh, indicating that he would enjoy Ahkmenrah's company as the two of them walked together down the hall to see what else would await them this night at the museum.
