Thoughts

I'M AFRIAD I MUST ADMIT I DO NOT OWN NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM!

"Sorry Nicky, I'll be right back. Promise."

Nicky watched in amusement as he dad all but flew out the office towards wherever that big crash came from.

It's been a week since his dad started working here and even though he complained about it a lot, Nicky knew his dad wouldn't trade his job for the world.

"Huh?" Nicky laughed as Dexter came running into the office.

Dexter screeched and leap up on the desk in front of him.

"What are you doing here?" Nicky grinned, "Wait was that huge crash because of you?"

Nicky didn't know if monkeys could laugh, but if they could, then that's exactly what he'd say Dexter was doing.

"H-hey! Wait a minute!" Nicky tried to grab Dexter but wasn't fast enough, "Detxer! Come on! Stop!"

Dexter had his dad's coffee mug and was guzzling it down his throat.

Nicky just knew that nothing good could come from this, especially since his dad took so much sugar with his coffee, but in the back of his mind he was glad the coffee wasn't too hot where Dexter would've burned himself.

With a loud screech, Dexter started jumping from the desk to the couch to some shelves and down to the floor, before finally settling on running out the office door.

Startled, Nicky stood there gaping at the door.

"Hey! Gigantor Jr! What in tarnation happened 'ere?!"

Nicky looked down and saw Jed and Octavius both staring up at him, then Nicky let his gaze wander around and saw all the damage Dexter jumping about caused;

The rest of the coffee spilled out onto documents and was dribbling down the side of the desk onto the floor.

Papers were ripped and scattered across the floor.

Some of the books were knocked off the shelves.

The lamp fell down and the lightbulb was busted.

So Nicky did the only thing he could possibly do...

"It wasn't me!"

And he ran out the door to chase after Dexter.

"Oh my..."

"...uh...run Octavius run!"

Jed and Octavius barley spared each other a second look before they both took of running out the doorway and past Larry as he just entered the office.

"NICKY!"

"IT WASN'T ME! IT WAS DEXTER!"

Nicky ran as fast as he could, not really bothering to look for Dexter but actually trying to hide from his dad, just for a little bit...or until sunrise.

"Whoa!"

"...what was that for...?"

Nicky grinned down at Ahkmenrah who was laying underneath of him as they both just collided.

They haven't really talked much since Ahkmenrah was let out and Nicky learned the truth about the museum, but that would have to change.

"Sorry...would you believe me if I said it was a accident?"

"How on earth is ramming somebody down possibly a accident?!" Ahkmenrah stared at Nicky.

"What's up with everyone and their dang staring?!...and yeah it was a accident I wasn't paying attention to where I was running..." Nicky grumbled.

"...So...why exactly where you running?" Ahkmenrah asked trying to cheer Nicky up and satisfy his own curiosity.

"I was waiting in my dads office for him to get back from seeing whatever that huge noise was, because he doesn't trust me to be alone! Anyway then Dexter came running in and DRANK my dads coffeé!" Nicky paused to take a breather, "Then Dexter started making a big mess everywhere and I couldn't grab him, then Jed and Octavius showed up and I ran. I guess my dad showed up a few minutes later... And here I am now."

"...Hmmm...wouldn't it be for the best if you go talk to your father?"

"NO!"

"Oh...uh...Alright then..." Ahkmenrah furrowed his eyebrows and than smiled at Nicky, "Than I suppose I better help you find a good hiding place!"

"Whoa, really?" Nicky smiled back, now he knew for sure Ahkmenrah was just as fun as he had been when they rode Rexy.

"Let's go!"

"Hey Teddy have you seen Nicky?"

"I believe him and the Phar-Er Ahkmenrah just took off running towards the Miniatures Exhibit." Teddy frowned, "Is something the matter, Lawrence?"

"Nicky was in my office, now it's completely trashed he said it was Dexter and now he's hiding from me!" Larry threw his hands up in the air, "And when I'm at my office Jed and Octavius were running away as well!"

"Hmm shall we go get them and then head over to the Miniatures Exhibit?"

"Yeah, thankfully I saw them run back to their Exhibits." Larry sighed.

"Very well than, off we go!" Teddy chuckled and began walking towards where he knew the Miniatures Exhibit to be.

"Hey...uh where's Texas?" Larry wasn't really sure what was going on now, first that crash, his office trashed and now Teddy was walking around without his horse!

"I've lent him to Sacajawea, she'll bring him back long before Sunrise."

"...okay..."

Once at the Miniatures Exhibit Jed and Octavius immediately began spouting excuses.

"Gigantor! It wasn't us we swear!"

"My Liege, it was already a mess when we arrived..."

"Hey how do we know it wasn't you who messed it up?!"

"Honestly Jed, why would he mess up his own office?"

"Can it Ockie, I'm tryin' ta shift the blame!"

Larry quickly intervened before the two friends could start arguing, "Guys...Guys! I'm not blaming you, I just need your guys help, Teddy said he saw Nicky and Ahkmenrah come me through here, where are they?"

"King Tut? What in tarnation would he doin' in 'ere?" Jed crossed his arms over his chest.

"I'm sorry my Liege, but is young Nicolas in trouble?"

"One, Jed I don't know. Two, no Nicky isn't in trouble if he was telling me the truth, I'm trying to find him because he's hiding from me!" Once again Larry threw his hands in the air, exasperated.

"Ok okay! Sheesh Gigantor, calm down." Jed smirked, "They ran on through to da Mammal Exhibit."

"The Mammal Exhibit?!" Larry's eyes widened, "The Mammal Exhibit is locked shut you need my keys to get in! I know Dexter hasn't stolen them they're still in my pocket!"

"It seems they've found another way in." Teddy held out his hand and let Jed and Octavius climb onto it before lifting them to his shoulder.

With an annoyed sort of grunt Larry began stalking his way towards the Mammal Exhibit with the others right behind him.

They all jump outside the gates to the Mammal Exhibit, startled as Dexter suddenly jumped onto Larry's face screeching.

"Argh! DEXTER! GET OFF!"

Dexter continued to screech and jumped off of Larry before sliding thru the bars back into the Mammals Exhibit.

"Perhaps now you should open the gates." Teddy was grinning while Jed and Octavius almost fell off his shoulders with how hard they were laughing.

"Oh ha ha ha." Larry grumbled as he reached into his pocket to grab the keys, "you have got to be...Dexter!"

Larry glared at Dexter as the monkey help up his keys and laughed.

"Y-you got bested by Dexter! Ha!" Jed laughed.

"Now now, Dexter we need those keys may we please have them back?" Teddy held out his hand.

Dexter shook his head no, and leap off the tree branch, away from them.

Their eyes widened as they saw Dexter run up to Ahkmenrah and climb up onto his shoulders as he handed him the keys.

"King Tut!" Jed shouted, "We need those! Bring'em 'ere!"

Ahkmenrah's lips twitched slightly as he came over to them, "I'm sorry but I promised Nicky I'd help him hide."

"...Ahkmenrah...WHY is Nicky hiding from me?!" Larry gritted his teeth together in impatience.

"He fears you blame him for the mishap in your office," Ahkmenrah paused, "I do not wish to lie to you Guardian of Brooklyn, nor do I wish to sell out a comrade..."

"I know it was Dexter." Larry said, "I could smell my coffeé on him when he tackled my face. NICKY YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!"

No movement.

Ahkmenrah turned his head slightly, "Nicky, you may come out. You are not being blamed, right?" Ahkmenrah turned his sharp gaze onto Larry.

"...Err right, yeah. No blaming."

Nicky came out from the set of trees right next to the doorway, oddly enough the others still had yet to see any of the mammals. Larry however was still a bit panicked at Nicky, and Ahkmenrah too, being inside of there regardless of whether or not the mammals where staying away.

"Sorry dad, but I didn't think you'd believe me." Nicky grinned sheepishly.

Larry sighed running a hand down his face, "It's fine, but Ahkmenrah can I have my keys back now?"

Ahkmenrah smiled suddenly abashed, "I am sorry Guardian of Brooklyn...here you are."

Larry took the keys from Ahkmenrah's outstretched hand, and unlocked the gate to let them out, "Uh...I do have a question for the both of you though, how'd you get inside the exhibit if I had the keys?"

Nicky perked up his eyes wide and excited, "Ahkmenrah knows how to pick locks!"

When the other all turned to look at him, Ahkmenrah coughed slightly and looked away from them mumbling, "I...I was taught by a friend..."
