It had been a month and Rebecca still couldn't find anything about the curse that was placed on Nubia. She was beginning to think the curse was made up. She had tried everything she could think of, but she always came up empty. She didn't understand why there was a warning in Nubia's tomb about a curse, but there was nothing else about it. Maybe that was just put there to stop grave robbers. All she could find was that Cyrena died of poison and was now in a museum in Greece. It said nothing about a curse.

Ahkmenrah wanted Rebecca to keep looking, but Nubia didn't want her to. She figured that it had been a month and nothing could be found so there was no sense in wasting more of Rebecca's time. Ahkmenrah tried to talk to Nubia that there had to be something, but Nubia disagreed. She didn't mind though. All the torment was worth it because she got to see the love of her life and that was worth it.

On the bright side, Nubia could now speak and understand more English. She still had a hard time understanding some things, but for the most part she knew what everyone was talking about. Some of the exhibits didn't know if her learning English was a good idea because now she and Jed always had arguments. When Nubia really got annoyed she would go off in Egyptian and Ahkmenrah always refused to translate.

At the moment Jed was walking back to the diorama room in a huff. He just had an argument with Nubia and both Octavius and Ahkmenrah thought it was a stupid fight, but that didn't stop the argument…that was until Jed stomped off.

"That Egyptian Queen doesn't know what she's talking about. I'm much more experienced in this stuff then she is. What does she know?"

"She was right, though." Octavius said.

"Columbus was right."

"He fowled. Everyone saw it and Nubia called it."

"One stinking game of soccer and she thinks she's an expert."

"Why are you so upset Columbus lost anyway?"

"I had a bet with another cowboy that he's team would win."

"And what happens now that you lost the bet?"

"Don't know and that's what I'm afraid of."

Jed suddenly stopped as he looked around. He had seen something move out of the corner of his eye, but when he turned there was nothing there. The small cowboy shrugged as he continued on his way.

Back in the lobby Nubia was celebrating her first win of soccer. Everyone was surprised at how fast she learned how to play the game. Nubia didn't think it was that hard to learn. All you had to do was kick the ball in the net.

"I still can't believe you argued with Jed about the fowl." Ahkmenrah said.

"Those are the rules aren't they? So I was just following the rules."

"Is she always this argumentative?" Larry asked.

"Yes she is and very stubborn."

Just then the lights flickered. Everyone looked around with confusion. There wasn't a thunderstorm so why did the lights flicker? It was weird since there wasn't anything going on that would cause the lights to flicker, but everyone pushed it aside and thought nothing more about it.

The time soon came for the sun to rise and all the exhibits went back to their own places. Nubia had such a fun night that she didn't even have a fear about going back to the other world. For a moment she even forgot all about it.

When she did arrive, the happiness she had quickly vanished as she came face to face with a monster. She wasted no time in running in the opposite direction. Nubia swore that if she ever saw Cyrena again that she would make her pay. She wasn't sure what she was going to do since she would already be dead, but Nubia would think of something.

Nubia found a crevice so she made her way down and out of sight. She held her breath as the monster came closer to her hiding spot. The monster stopped near the opened. Nubia pressed herself against the wall, hoping the monster wouldn't see her. Closing her eyes, she thought about a time when life seemed simpler then what it is now.

Ten year old Nubia hid behind the palace wall with a smile on her face. She peered around the wall, waiting to see what was going to happen. She was too busy on what was going to happen that she didn't hear someone coming up behind her. The person tapped her on the shoulder and Nubia jumped. She turned around to see a smiling Bakura.

"Kura, don't do that to me."

"Sorry. What are you looking at so intently?"

"The guards. They are about to walk right into my trap."

Nubia turned her attention back to the guards; Bakura peered around to see what Nubia had done this time.

The guards were too busy talking amongst themselves that they didn't see the rope that was laid across the ground. One of the guards tripped over the rope and that triggered the bucket that was over head to fall, soaking them all in red wine.

Nubia couldn't contain her laughter as the guards were now stained red. Bakura shook his head.

"What am I going to do with you?"

"Keep me and love me. You have to admit that was funny."

Bakura looked back over at the guards who were complaining and wondering who was responsible.

"Yes, it was funny." Bakura chuckled.

"I know who did it." One of the guards said. "It was the princess."

Nubia stopped laughing as she looked over at the guards who were all glaring at her. She grabbed Bakura's hand and started running.

"Why are we running? They can't do anything to you."

"They can give me a lecture. I already to get that from my tutors. I don't need it from the guards."

"Then why do you do that to them?"

"Because it entertains me."

"You aren't like other princesses."

Nubia suddenly stopped which made Bakura run into her.

"Why'd you stop?"

Nubia turned around to look at him. "Have you met many princesses?"

"No, but I'm sure most princesses would at least act like they're royal and not some peasant kid."

"Just because I'm a princess doesn't mean I can't have fun. Life would be so boring."

"I pity the man who marries you. I don't think anyone else will be able to keep up with you and your antics."

"Then I guess you'll have to be the one who marries me since you can keep up."

Nubia kissed Bakura on the cheek then took off running in a fir of giggles. Bakura just stood there, unsure of what just happened. Once he realized what Nubia said he chased after her.

"I don't want to marry you. You're my best friend. It will be too weird."

"You know you want to."

"Do not."

"Liar."

A tear rolled down Nubia's face as she thought about her best friend. She missed Bakura so much. She had often wished that she could go back to those days. Go back to when she didn't have a worry in the world.

She was snapped out of her thoughts when the monsters growled and she thought he spotted her. She glanced up and saw the monster walking away. She waited a few more minutes before she made her way out of the crevice.

Rebecca was at work, but her mind was somewhere else. She didn't want to give up on Nubia, but she didn't know what else she could do. She looked up everything she could on Nubia and Cyrena, both coming up empty. If there was a curse then all records of it had to have been destroyed, but who would do that? And why?

"Wonderful news." Dr. McPhee said as he walked up to Rebecca. "Not only did we get an Egyptian Queen, but now we are getting a Greek Queen."

"A Greek Queen?"

Rebecca knew that Cyrena was Greek, but it couldn't be that easy. There were hundreds of queens so odds were Cyrena wasn't the one they were getting.

"Yes. She married and Egyptian prince, but when they were visiting Egypt he died. When she went back to her country she remarried. She'll arrive in a few weeks."

Rebecca couldn't believe what she was hearing. What were the chances that Cyrena was coming here? It seemed too good to be true.

"Why are we getting her? Isn't she in a museum in Greece?"

"Yes, but the museum I spoke to said something about wanting America to know about Greek history or something like that."

She was in disbelief. Out of all the museums in the world they chose this one. Why do they want her here? Wouldn't they want Cyrena to stay in Greece since she is part of their history? She didn't want to question it since Cyrena coming means they can get information on the curse, but it seemed like something else was going on. It seemed strange that the Greek queen would be coming here where the Egyptian queen resides.

When Rebecca told Larry what was going on he told her not to think about it so much, but she couldn't help it. The whole thing seemed planned. It seemed too perfect.

That night Rebecca told Nubia and Ahkmenrah about Cyrena coming. The pharaoh questioned it much like Rebecca had, though Nubia had different thoughts. She didn't care why Cyrena was coming here. She just couldn't wait for that night. Cyrena won't know what's coming.
