DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, BUT I DO OWN THE CHARACTERS MEGERA, ELAINE, BERNARD, SETH - who wont be showing up anymore, Lapia and the plot of this story
"I can't believe you couldn't outsmart a capuchin" said Tilly taking off her shoes. Dexter had peed on me, I was chasing him and as I was about to take my phone, he peed on my shoes.
I hate that evil monkey.
The only thing I greed with Atilla is that Dexter had too much evilness in his tiny body.
"I'm no ravenclaw! You know that! I barely passed math, and failed egyptology!" I said, "Then what are you? A Gryffindor?" "YES!" Tilly sighed, "Alright, use this" she said handing me a spray Larry had invented.
"really?" I said after looking at the title: Pee-go-away spray
"It wasn't very...useful for most people, but he invented it because of dexter. He's been through what you're going through now" I chuckled at that. Tilly handed me a towel, I sprayed the spray onto my shoe, and wiped my whole shoe until it was clean.
Which took me 15 minutes.
After cleaning the shoe, I texted Larry.
Your "Pee go-away spray" actually works...the smell and stain if off my shoe
hahaha, let me guess...dexter?
Dexter
I'll take care of him tomorrow
haha, it's alright, Ahk already has
No...he wouldn't slap dexter!

Tilly and I took turns to shower, and we had a late night snack, even a girl talk about what happened tonight. Time seemed to have pass quicker than ever. We left the museum at 3:30, it was already 5...So we decided to get some sleep.
"Meg, why did Lapia go again?" Asked Tilly before we went to bed, "umm...she...I don't know..." I said, she didn't tell me why anyway. "She just left?" Asked Tilly once more, "maybe she thought it was better off without her? Since...the museum hates her...except for Ahk of course." I answered truthfully, "right..." "and she probably wanted another chance in life, without so much chaos and magic going on..." I said. "Speaking of magic...what do we say to mum?" Said Tilly, "huh?" "Your hair, your powers or whatever you're supposed to call 'em...?" "Oh right..." I said, what was I going to say? "I guess...I could always say I dyed it...and just don't use my powers?" I shrugged, "you were making it snow today" "not the first time" I said, Tilly widened her eyes, "you've done that in public?" she asked, "accidentally?" Tilly rolled her eyes at my response, and we went to sleep.
(line)
The doorbell rang, I looked at my phone to check the time, not a wise choice. The brightness almost blinded me, but I manaed to check the time.
1:30 in the afternoon.
The doorbell rang once more. I put on a jacket and went over to the door, I peeked through the peephole. I was quite surprised to see Lapia holding onto Nick. I opened the door at once, Nick fell onto the floor. "What happened?" I asked Lapia, "I think he got into a fight" she said simply, well...that explains the black eye. "In the morning?" I asked, Lapia only shrugged.
"With who? Where?" I asked helping Lapia carry Nick onto the couch, "he was going home from the museum..." I raised an eyebrow, "you went to the museum?" I asked, "I...I'm leaving today...2 hours later I will be at the airport, I decided to pay everyone a visit before I leave..." She said, "You don't have a passport!" I cried, "you seem to have forgotten" she said simply, "forgot what?" "that you're not the only one who has knowledge of magic!" "but...how did you know what a passport is?" she shrugged, "I looked at Bernard's, and made my own copy" I narrowed my eyebrows, "but it doesn't work that way, they scan your information in the computer, and if they don't have your information...then..." "then?" "I don't know! This hasn't happened to me before!" "Exactly! So who are you to judge that something would go wrong? Magic never goes wrong...it's just how you use it" she said Calmly.
I went over to the fridge, took some ice out and wrapped it in a towel. I walked over to Nick and placed the ice on his black eye. "Ow..." he groaned, "what happened?" I asked in a strict tone, "I...I saw this girl in the museum and I went over to talk to her, turns out that she goes to the same university I go to, and...we talked for quite a while and I showed her the museum...but how was I to know that she had a boyfriend? I walked her out the museum and there her boyfriend stood, arms crossed, pants low, gangster like...and he was mad at his girlfriend for leaving him and not telling him where she went, and he slapped her!" I said throwing his right hand up, his left hand was holding onto the ice, "so I defended her and kind of scolded her boyfriend for hitting his very own girlfriend, and so he punched me, and...I guess I blacked out?"
By the time he finished his tale, I found my eyes were widened, my mouth forming an "O" and that the tap was on. "Meg...you might want to close the tap" said Nick, I snapped my fingers and the tap went off.
"Hey...just so you know, you did nothing wrong." I said putting my hand on his shoulder, he flinched, "oh so that hurts too?" "No...your hand is boiling hot" he said, he held onto my wrist and put some ice on my hand, it melted immediately. "Control!" Scolded Lapia, "you shall not and MAY NOT reveal your powers" "I know! But I can't always control it!" Lapia sighed, "you're even worse than Mevinia" "you seem to forget that I understand Egyptian!" "My apologies, your majesty" Lapia said in a snippy tone, I rolled my eyes.
"I see that you guys aren't exactly friends yet" said Nick, "wait...how did you find me? How did you know I lived here?" I asked, "magic" Lapia answered simply, "thats really scary..." I said after a moment of silence. "Magic has no limits, something all witches and wizards live by..." said Lapia gazing out the window, "I learnt that with my sister...she could do absolutely everything...so I became useless..." "enough with your painful flashbacks please, and the fact that your gazing out the window makes it worse" "Oh...there was a...nice...kingdom tower" she said in english, "yeah...those are called buildings, Lapia" said Nick.
"Does your dad know you're here?" I asked, Nick shrugged, "maybe...maybe not?" he said, using the exact tone and shrug I gave him when we first met at Central Park. I raised my eyebrow, I reached for the phone, "call him" I said, "but he might find it suspicious if I'm here!" he argued,"the only thing suspicious is Lapia being here, not turned into dust and knowing magic as well." I argued back, Nick gave up and dialed Larry's number.
"Hey dad" "Hey kiddo...where are you? How many times do I have to tell you not to switch your phone off?" "I'm at Meg's" "what are you doing there exactly?" "I...injured myself, and so...I just came to her house...well, it's actually Tilly's but Meg lives here but-" "what did you do?" "I...someone jumped me" lied Nick, I face-palmed, "no one jumps anyone now Nick" said Larry.
Good point. No one does in the morning anyway...
"Okay...okay...I got into a fight"
LARRY's POV
"How did you get into a fight so early?" I asked, Nick was at Meg's/Tilly's, "I just...did?" he said innocently, "thats not a valid reason, Nick" I scolded, "how? Why? Where? Answers now!" I said, "it's a long story" replied Nick, "what happened" I said in my strict tone.
"I saw this girl in the museum and I went over to talk to her, turns out that she goes to the same university I go to, and...we talked for quite a while and I showed her the museum...but how was I to know that she had a boyfriend? I walked her out the museum and there her boyfriend stood, arms crossed, pants low, gangster like...and he was mad at his girlfriend for leaving him and not telling him where she went, and he slapped her! So I defended her and kind of scolded her boyfriend for hitting his very own girlfriend, and so he punched me, and I blacked out" said Nick, who made it sound like it was no big deal.
Unbelievable this child of mine.
"okay, I'll come and get you now" I said grabbing my car keys from the table, "no! NO it's fine" said Nick, I stopped walking towards the door, "what do you mean no?" "There are two witches here that'll protect me!" he cried, I sighed. "First off, if Ahk finds out you've spent the day with Mg, he'll probably kill you." "I HEARD THAT!" cried Meg through the phone, "secondly, I'm your dad. I'm supposed to take care of you!" "I'm fine! I can take care of myself! I'm 20" "I don't care how old you are, I'm still your father!"
Silence. I hate it when Nicky does that.
"fine" he said, "I'll go home myself then" said Nick, "no you wont" I argued, "hey, there's a more simpler way..." said Meg.
One second later Nick was standing beside me.
"Where'd you come from?" I asked, startled, "my mom" replied Nick simply, I rolled my eyes, "how are you here now?" I asked, "did Meg use magic?" Nick only nodded. "Great...this is Tilly's phone..." said Nick. Nick's phone rang, it was vibrating in his pocket. "Nick, return the phone tonight please" said Meg's voice, "yeah, of course, Meg!" Nick said, "Today's movie night" said Nick through the phone, "yeah, Tilly told me about it" Meg answered, "how's your eye?" she asked "Ehh...it's fine I guess, doesn't hurt much" said Nick.
I walked into my room, I took out my phone. The first thing I saw was Amelia and I. Teaching Amelia how to use a smartphone wasn't the smartest thing to do, but it was worth it. She changed the lock screen photo to a picture she took of her giving me a peck on my cheek.
I unlocked my phone, went to the photo gallery. There I found 5 pictures of Amelia, someone - that wasn't me, took photos of her, she was posing for the camera (as she always would), then a few others of us together. The last picture there was the picture of Amelia and I on my lock screen.
It warmed my heart when I reminded myself that Amelia would be staying here in the museum of natural history, though Amelia isn't exactly a part of "natural" history, but Dr. Mcphee wanted a contribution to the Smithsonian, I suggested they move Amelia, since she was in the storage for so long. Apart from that, she also got to be alive again, and I got to see her while she was "living"
"No! Meg! Don't!" cried Nick from outside, I went out to see what was going on, he was still on the phone with Meg, he turned to look at me, pointed to his phone and gave me a sour look on the face.
"Meg's gonna kill the guy that punched me" he mouthed, I chuckled.
Meg and Nick are like sister and brother now. Even though they've only met for a short amount of time, they were very close friends. Mainly because they found each other whenever something was troubling them, or when they were in trouble.
"there's nothing wrong with defending a girl! I'm sure Ahk would agree with me, and send his army or something, to go after that bloody git!" Cried Meg through the phone, "my dad's listening to this conversation, you know" said Nick, "Larry! Mr. Daley! Back me up on this!" Meg cried, I chuckled, Nick walked over and put Meg on speaker - not like she wasn't loud enough.
"Meg-" "Larry! Back me up! C'mon lets punish the one that did this to Nick! He's your son! Please!?" she cried, "no we cannot" "we should bring Atilla!" she suggested, "no" I answered simply. Though Meg was 17, she still acted like a child. "Please Mr. Daley? Nick doesn't deserve this!" she begged, I sighed, "Meg, you'll be put behind bars!" she grunted.
MEGERA's POV
Getting punched for defending a girl? I'll make sure that git knows what the true meaning of being a boyfriend means (and also what the words "pain" and "fear" means)
Making evidence disappear should be easy for someone like me, since I'm a witch.
Yes, I finally accepted who I am...a bloody witch. Which is quite astonishing, one day you see yourself as a meek, useless girl and the next day you're a powerful witch.
"What's the name of the girl?" I asked, "uhhh...Melody" said Nick, "where does she live?" I asked. Nick on the other side of the phone said nothing. "Why...?" "Oh nothing, just gathering information to get revenge for you" I said in an innocent tone, "No! Meg! Don't!" He cried, "why?" I whined, "there's nothing wrong with defending a girl! I'm sure Ahk would agree with me, and send his army or something, to go after that bloody git!" I argued. "My dad's listening to this conversation, you know" said Nick on the other end, my eyes lit up, "Larry! Mr. Daley! Back me up on this!" I cried.
"Meg-" he started, "Larry! Back me up! C'mon lets punish the one that did this to Nick! He's your son! Please!?" I cried. I wasn't going to let an opportunity like this slip away! "No we cannot" "we should bring Atilla!" I suggested, Lapia's eyes widened.
Maybe she wasn't used to how we do things nowadays.
"Dont!" she whispered, "you do know that when Ahkmenrah finds out about this he'll be unhappy with you" she warned, "he's not my boss is he?" I said shrugging.
"No" said Larry. "Please Mr. Daley? Nick doesn't deserve this!" I begged, I could hear him sigh, "Meg, you'll be put behind bars!" he said.
Magic has no limits, someone taught me. I could just melt my cell down or something.
I grunted to show my defeat.
Grown ups.
