Hello readers. Thank you for your reviews, favorites, and follows. To TheThiaForce, here is Dexter causing trouble for the two unrelated-brothers. ^-^ Also to Avian (Guest), yes I can make a chapter about the two of them playing computer games.
Chapter 10 Stolen Crown:
"Give that back!" Ahkmenrah yelled and reached to grab the capuchin that had stolen his crown.
He and Nicky had been sitting in the lobby trying to figure out what to do that night when Dexter had come in and perched on the desk next to them. They had greeted the monkey though hadn't really paid any attention to him. Then all of a sudden the pharaoh's crown was lifted off his head.
Dexter evaded his grasp and gave him large grin and took off still carrying the crown. Nicky watched in confusion.
"I didn't think he would be able to carry your crown." His comment was ignored as the older teen took off after the monkey, and Nicky then took off after him laughing. Ahk rounded a corner and skidded a bit as his sandals had no traction, and he almost ended up tripping over his own cloak as well.
"Dexter get back here!" He yelled and he heard a noise that could be considered Dexter laughing. The pharaoh gritted his teeth and sped up. He then had to stop as in front of him Sacagawea came around the next corner. He managed to stop before he hit her but ended up crashing to the ground. Nicky came up behind him still laughing.
"What's going on?" The young Shoshone woman asked in her usual soft voice.
"Dexter took Ahk's crown." Nicky answered her as he helped the older teen up. Sacagawea nodded her head and then looked into the room behind her.
"Would you like me to help you track him?" She asked turning back to the two boys.
"If its not too much trouble." Ahk answered.
"Its not." She smiled and then turned around and started walking away. The two boys falling into step behind her. She lead them through quit a few rooms before they came to the Hall of Mammals. There hanging off the gate was Dexter though to the annoyance of the pharaoh his crown was nowhere in sight. Dexter had that stupid grin on his face and then he stuck his tongue out at them. The pharaoh's eyes narrowed and he started talking angrily in rapid fire Egyptian.
"What is he doing?" Sacagawea asked Nicky quietly.
"When he's angry he starts talking in Ancient Egyptian." He answered her just as quietly.
"Do you have any idea what he is saying?"
"Not a clue." Ahk then turned to them and said something. Nicky gave him a blank look. "What?" The pharaoh started to repeat himself, but then shook his head.
"I said lets go." Though after he said that he felt something brush against his legs. He looked down to find the museum's only tigress. "Oh hi girl." He said petting her head as she purred. He then glanced back up at the capuchin and then down to the tigress. "You can eat him if you want."
"Ahk!" Nicky said slightly horrified.
"What? I was kidding." Ahk defended himself though the look Nicky gave him clearly said he didn't believe that. "Anyway, lets go." He turned and walked out, Nicky, Sacagawea, and even the tigress following behind him. He then looked up and down the hall deciding where to search for his stolen crown first.
"It must be in a room around here as Dexter wasn't that much farther ahead of us…" He thought out loud.
"We could just look in the Hall of Mammals." Nicky pointed out.
"Oh right."
"I'll check there, you guys look somewhere else." Sacagawea announced and turned around to walk back into the room they had just left.
"The Hall of Miniatures is pretty close to here." Nicky said, and Ahk nodded his head.
"We'll look there first." When they got to the exhibit it was empty, well except for the Mayans locked up behind glass, but there wasn't a single roman or cowboy. Which made it easier to look for the crown without being worried about accidentally stepping on someone, though it was quickly discovered that the crown was not there. They left to check the American Frontier Exhibit when they heard the cavemen yelling. The two looked at each other with raised eyebrows.
"Do you think-"
"They better not." They rushed off to the caveman exhibit with the tigress trailing behind. When they got there the caveman did in fact have the pharaoh's crown. They were looking at in interest then one of them banged a rock against it.
"Can I have that back?" Ahk asked them stepping forward and they stared at him.
"Nnn." One grunted holding the crown tighter.
"Come on give it back." The pharaoh held out his hand.
"Nnn." The caveman repeated, and Ahk frowned. The tigress then took a step forward and growled at the cavemen. They looked at her fearfully before quickly rushing over and handed over the crown.
"Thank you." Ahk said putting it back on his head and petted the now purring tigress and thanked her as well in Ancient Egyptian. They started on their way back to the Hall of Mammals to find Sacagawea when they ran into the young Shoshone women.
"I see you found your crown."
"Yes."
"That's good." She smiled and then walked away waving. Nicky and Ahk also started to walk back to the lobby. They then heard a noise behind them and when they turned around Dexter was sitting on an empty pedestal.
"No! Not again!" Ahk shouted putting his hands up over his crown, the tigress growled warningly at the capuchin, and Nicky laughed.
