Chapter 4 - slapping fight with a monkey

Teddy made his way over to me blushing,"Shall you like a quick tour?"

I smiled, and decided not to mention his epic fail,"Sure!"

He motioned to Tex,"Hope on then!"

Teddy gave me a leg up and Kota followed us as Tedd showed me the different wings,"And up ahead, we shall have the Neanderthals-"

We stopped when we saw Larry, hvmaving a slapping fight with a monkey and covered in foam? I rubbed my eyes to make sure they weren't playing tricks on me, nope that was happening,"Larry?," I called out.

"Good Lord, Lawrence," Teddy shouted as we closed the distance,"Why are you slapping a monkey?"

"Teddy," Larry complained his voice breaking," this guy's been pushing me, and I'm sick of it!"

"Poppycock," Teddy told him,"This little creature is your primate brother. Without him, there's no us."

I hopped off of Tex and walked towards then,"Are you rabid," Teddy reprimanded, handing Larry a hanky," Wipe that off."

Teddy turned to the monkey,"You have to deal with this creature with love and respect," Teddy held out his hand and smiled at the monkey," May I have the keys, dear friend," I chuckled as the monkey handed over the keys with no fuss,"Thank you," Teddy told the monkey and handed the keys over to Larry,"Lawrence?"

"Well, you know what? You seem to know what you're doing, Teddy," Larry said, and I but my lips knowing what was coming as Larry handed Teddy the keys and walked away,"so I'm gonna let you take over, Alright?"

"No, no. My dear boy, you can't put up the white flag now," Tesdy followed him,"The museum is on the verge of total anarchy."

"Come on Larry," I pleaded,"Don't give up. This place is so cool and... And-"

Larry interrupted me with a snap,"I tried! I came back tonight, didn't l?"

"Tried," Teddy scoffed,"That was one night. I didn't build the Panama Canal in one day."

"That's great, Teddy, but I'm dealing with the most ridiculous job in history!" Larry shouted as we made it to the information desk.

"Some men are born great, Lawrence-"

"Yeah, I know," Larry cut him off," Others have greatness thrust upon them. You hit me with that chestnut last night. The thing is, not everyone is great. That's the problem. Some of us are just ordinary," I recognized those words and flinched, realizing that Nicky had hurt Larry much more than I had realized.

"No, you're not, Larry," I shouted at him,"Stop wallowing in self-pity!"

Larry snapped his head in my direction,"What is with that attitude young lady?!"

I rolled my eyes,"WHATEVER!" I stormed off, Kota trotting to keep up with me.

" Every journey begins with a footstep," Teddy reasoned with Larry as I walked away," Teach the inhabitants to get along, they wouldn't need to be locked up. Night after night."

Their voices were drowned out as I ran back to the African Mammals exhibit and sat on the dirt of the cheetah display. Kota sat next to me and we curled up together to get a few hours of sleep.

PRETTY PLEASE REVIEW!
