Chapter 4
They Put Plastic on Cheese?
A/N: Hey guys so today I have two very short chapters! I hope you like them!
To thank Larry and Nicky for all they had done for him, Ahkmenrah decided to make them a meal. He had heard Nicky complain about being hungry a few minutes ago and wanted to do something helpful. However, he had no clue what most of the equipment in the staff room was for. They had a portable stove top and a microwave, but that was really it, and considering what happened with the hot chocolate, Ahk decided to use the potentially harmless stove top instead of the screaming monstrous one. He found a cookbook in one of the book shelves and flipped through the pages, picking what looked like an easy meal called 'Grilled Cheese'. After he gathered all the cookware and ingredients he would need, he put the buttered the bread and put the cheese on it, then placed it on the pan. He messed with the dial until a small flame appeared from under said pan, it was going really well, surprisingly the fire was at the right temperature. Sadly, the poor pharaoh was not informed about the plastic wrapping around the sliced cheese, nor the dangers of cooking with said wrapping still attached. He was very shocked when a horrible smell came from the sandwich, and black smoke filled the room. As the pan caught on fire, Ahk panicked throwing the closest thing he had at it, which happened to be the cook book.
The book quickly caught fire, and fell to the ground. By this point, the room was filled with smoke making it difficult to see, and causing Ahkmenrah to cough. The fire alarm was screeching a warning to everyone in the museum. Larry ran in with a fire extinguisher, he aimed it at the stove top and quickly put the flame out.
"What happened?" He asked over the alarm
"I don't know. I was trying to make you and Nicky a dish called 'Grilled Cheese', when it caught on fire." Ahkmerah replied wide eyed
Larry sighed "Let me guess, you didn't pull the plastic wrap off the cheese."
Ahk tilted his head in confusion "Plastic wrapping?"
"Yes, the cheese had plastic wrapped around it."
"Why?"
"I don't know. To keep it clean."*
"Oh, I'm sorry Guardian of Brooklyn." Ahkmenrah mumbled
"It's Larry, and don't worry about it. Hey, how about you help me clean this mess up, and then tomorrow I can bring ice cream." Larry said feeling bad for the pharaoh
"What is ice cream?"
"Well. It's kind of hard to explain, but it is really good."
Ahk smiled "Okay, Guardian of Brooklyn."
Larry sighed "Ahk, for the hundredth time it's Larry."
"Hey Dad. is it safe yet? Woah." Nicky said as he walked in "What happened here?"
"Ahk tried to cook us a meal." Larry said
"Apparently there is plastic wrapping on the cheese." Ahkmenrah sighed
"So this is why the alarm went off?"
"Yup." Larry replied
"I'm sorry." Ahkmenrah apologized
"It's fine Ahk. Nicky, bring everyone back in please."
"Okay." Nicky ran off
"Hey Ahk, why did you try to cook for us anyway?" Larry asked
"I wanted to thank both you and Nicky for all you have done for me." He replied
"You didn't really have to, we really didn't do much." Larry said
Ahkmenrah looked shocked "'Did not do much'? Larry, without you and Nicky, I would still be locked in my sarcophagus, and the tablet would have been gone!" He said "You did so much more than you think."
Larry just smiled and continued cleaning. They soon finished, the room looking as if nothing happened, except for a few scorch marks and a missing portable stove top.
"Ahk, how about I teach you how to cook some of Nicky's favorite foods?" Larry suggested
Ahkmenrah smiled "I would like that Gua-Larry."
A/N: I hope you liked this chapter!
*Why is there plastic wrapping on some sliced cheese. I mean it isn't on all sliced cheese, so it is not really needed, so why? I was never asking this question until this chapter... *Sigh*
