Anyway, there's not much for me to really say. So, I'll be keeping this author note short for the day. :D And I'll let you all get to it! So, enjoy! :D
But first some shout outs to these lovely people!:

Stretch Snodgrass- Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! The idea of adding in a dog was sort of based on a dream I had back before I ever started writing MBAV fanfiction. I was the loyal doggy companion in the dream. Then when I was finally able to start writing MBAV fanfiction, I decided that the dog should be a magical kind of species of dog and that her name should be Cammie.

It took me almost a year to finally be updating this story, again. Mainly because I have other stories to work on, too. That and the chapters for this are like...SUPER long. Lol! So, sorry for the really long waiting you'll have to endure for this story's updates. And you're very much welcome, too! I'm glad that you think my writing is great enough to read and enjoy! *hugs* :D 3
Disclaimer: I do not own My Babysitter's A Vampire or any of the characters in it. What I do own is this story (sort of), any parts of the story that weren't in the actual episodes, and any OCs that may appear. Like, my OCs Cammie and Jasmine.
"Our young Prince Ho-Tep died at the tender age of 18, but the ancient Egyptians viewed death as merely a journey into another world." gladly informed Mr. G, as he told his class the story about the mummy on display in front of him while walking through the ancient Egyptian exhibit at Whitechapel's local museum.
"Um... What's with the ancient tupperwear?" suddenly asked Ethan out of curiosity, after noticing the strange jars gathered around the mummy's head on the display table.
"Well, uh...you know that expression, 'you can't take it with you'?" replied Mr. G sarcastically in a polite way.
"Yeah." nodded Ethan attentively, waiting for his teacher to continue.
"Yeah. Well, uh...they didn't. Yup." finished Mr. G lamely, as he clutched his hands together and nodded a little with a not too impressed look on his face.
A few small laughs then erupted from some of the students there at his reply. While Ethan just stood there with an expression that obviously said, "oh" unimpressively.
"Anyway, this gift-wrapped fellow here, was uh...arranged to marry a pharaoh's daughter. But when he refused because he wasn't in love with her, the Pharaoh had him executed." explained Mr. G, as he finished his story behind the mummy's past.
"I bet she had one killer unibrow." joked Benny before silently chuckling to himself along with Ethan and Rory until Sarah reached back and hit him in the arm for his dumb little joke, making him gasp out in pain a little from it.
Mr. G then walked around the table so that he was between his class and the mummy. He then looked down at this little podium in front of the display to read some sort of piece of paper that was there on it. "According to these hieroglyphics," he began before turning back slightly to face his class. "He vowed to...never enter the afterlife without his true love." he then finished.
Sarah was captivated by that part and thought it had sounded romantic, whereas Rory thought otherwise. Instead, Rory just scrunched up his face in disgust as he childishly said "ew" in response, thinking the whole thing sounded gross.
Mr. G then took another look back at the piece of paper on the podium, again. "It's either that or...these are cleaning instructions-?" questioned Mr. G perplexingly out loud to himself before suddenly being interrupted by Rory with a question.
"Can I make a mummy for extra credit?" asked Rory enthusiastically.
Mr. G then turned to the blonde teen to answer him. "Ooh, that wouldn't be encouraged." replied Mr. G politely, as he turned down his extra credit request as easily as possible.
"Yes! That wasn't a no!" exclaimed/cheered Rory happily to himself and the others around him in a whisper. Not getting that Mr. G's answer was in fact a 'no' to his question.
"Anyway, guys! That is the end of the tour. But uh...feel free to uh...stick around as long as you like." concluded Mr. G pleasantly to his class, as he ended his tour through the ancient Egypt exhibit. Unfortunately, though...none of his students took him up on his offer to stick around the exhibit for a bit longer except for Rory, Sarah, Benny, and Ethan. As the rest of his class then walked out once he announced he was done with the tour. "Or uh...you can leave. Cause that's ok, too." he then said overly nice to them as he watched them all leave with a slight hint of disappointment in his tone, as well. Laughing awkwardly a little as he followed them out of the exhibit.
As Rory, Benny, Ethan, and Sarah all stuck around to check out the mummy some more, Sarah commented that she thought it was so romantic how the dead Egyptian prince chose death over a life without love. To which, Ethan then jokingly replied with how more unromantic it must've been when they bottled up his organs. Benny, on the other hand, was staring at the display with a devious look in his eye, as he plotted to go through the ancient jars gathered around the mummy in search of a pancreas. This caused the others to look at him strangely, then.
"I used all my Grandma's ancient pancreas in a potion. I can top it up before she finds out." he then explained to them.
"Gross!" replied Sarah in disgust. "What was it for?" she then asked him, out of curiosity.
Benny took a minute with his answer, as he flashed back to the reason why. Which was him standing in front of the bathroom mirror with a bunch of black paste-like stuff smeared all over his face, around his mouth like a beard. As he spoke in a girly voice, pretending to be a girl complimenting him on how good he looks with a beard. Not wanting to say the real reason (because now it sounds stupid and embarrassing to him), he just gave her a vague answer, instead.
"Wizard stuff?" he answered hesitantly, although it sounded more like a question than a statement. The others just looked at him questioningly, not really believing him. "You wouldn't understand!" he quickly replied then in mild desperation, as he wanted to drop the embarrassing subject. "Cover me!" he then quickly exclaimed urgently at his friends while slightly pointing in their direction before then taking off towards the jars.
"Ok, but...make it quick." replied Ethan a bit reluctantly, not liking what his best friend was up to but resigned himself to the fact that if he did try to stop him that the spellmaster still wouldn't listen to his warnings. So, he might as well go along with it, instead.
Ethan quickly turned his head from side to side, as he kept a nervous but vigilant eye out for anyone coming their way. While Benny took a peek inside jars one by one for a pancreas.
"You guys are asking for trouble. I don't want any part in this." stated Sarah bluntly, sounding a bit miffed at them for even considering what they were about to do. Then she left.
Ethan looked back as she left before looking back at his wizard friend, again. "Benny. Maybe she's right? It is stealing." suggested/pointed out Ethan a bit uneasily to him, as he kinda agreed with Sarah on this one.
But Benny being Benny, didn't care about all that. All he cared about instead was avoiding punishment from his grandma for almost using up all of her ancient pancreases. "So?! The museum stole it first. Think they asked Raggedy Andy here to raid his tomb? Didn't think so." he argued back justifiedly to Ethan in a sarcastic tone, not really seeing what the big deal was all about. "Trust me. No one will miss this." he then reassured his worried friend, as he lifted the lid off another little jar. "Ah! Bingo!" he whispered happily, as he found what he was looking for at last.
Ethan took a quick look behind him towards the hallway to make sure no one wasn't looking before then telling Benny to hurry up. Benny grabbed the jar and dumped it's contents into a large plastic ziplock bag and sealing it. But not before letting out a few gagging and coughing noises, first, at how bad they smelled before stuffing it into his shoulder bag and following his friends out of the exhibit.
A short while after they left, the boys were totally unaware of what their action had done. Which was the mummy suddenly opening it's eyes while taking a deep breath, as it came to life. Making Benny's earlier statement about how no one would miss the pancreas that he just stole, incorrect. Because it turns out that there was someone who would miss it, after all. And they wanted it back.
Once the field trip at the museum was over, it was now free period for Ethan, Sarah, and Benny. The trio of friends decided to spend part of their free period helping Benny out with smuggling in the new replacement pancreas to add to his grandma's stash before she finds out that he had used some of it, earlier without her permission. Well...Ethan did, that is. Sarah mostly tagged along to reprimand them further for what they did, since there weren't any people close by now who could hear them. Like there was at the museum. But Benny still didn't see what the big problem was about him taking one little ancient pancreas from a place full of old stuff.
"What is the big deal? We collect weird stuff all the time." stated Benny exasperatingly, as they walked into a room somewhere in Benny's house. Tired of hearing Sarah's constant nagging over the subject.
"Yeah! When we're fighting monsters!" argued back Sarah pointedly, as if it was obvious. "This time it's more like...getting groceries." she then complained unhappily, as she tried to get her point across at how wrong it is to steal from a mummy in a museum. Although, Benny was only half listening to her now, as he was busy replacing the pancreas.
"Come on! It's nothing like...that." replied Ethan skeptically, as he tried to convince her otherwise. But he wasn't so sure himself if he was right in not agreeing with her, though. Sarah crossed her arms and then gave him this 'really?' look, in which Ethan then buckled under the pressure and gave in to agreeing with her. "Ok! So, maybe it is!" he quickly said a bit cowardly. "But...it's ok. Everything worked out fine." he then replied calmly, not seeing any reason to worry about it, now.
Not long after he said that the door burst open and in walked a moaning mummy. The three of them all jumped up and huddled in a corner of the room as far as they could get away from it, screaming in fear. But when the mummy tried to come closer he pulled back a little due to part of his bandages being caught on something in the hallway. Tugging him back a little as if he was on a leash, every time he tried to take a step to reach them on the opposite side of the room. Every time the mummy tried to get closer to them; Sarah, Ethan, and Benny would cry out from fright and cower back away from it a little. Only for their cries to slowly stop and pick right back up again (but with less volume and effort than before) each time the mummy tried and then failed to reach them. Eventually, the three just gave up screaming and being afraid of the sad excuse of a terrifying monster. Realizing that it was pretty harmless now that they thought it about and instead they felt sorry for it, as it then started to cough a little.
"Ok. This is kind of getting pathetic." awkwardly stated Ethan a little, as he felt ridiculous now for even being scared of it in the first place.
"Yeah, that last one was just a pity scream." added Benny earnestly in the same way, as he agreed with Ethan.
"What do we do?" then asked Sarah, as they all stood there and watched as the poor stuck mummy tried to pry free the snagged piece of cloth bandage from whatever it was caught on.
That's when Cammie came waltzing on down the hallway towards the commotion in her human form. She already knew who it was in the room that she was headed to from the familiar voices she heard earlier. She thought she'd pay them a visit to see how their class trip went to the museum. Although, while on her way to the room they were in, Cammie began to feel an unfamiliar supernatural presence coming from somewhere that only seemed to got stronger the closer she got to the room.
"Hey, guys! How did the trip to the...museum...go?" asked Cammie happily at first but then her tone quickly faded into a more perplexed and unsure kind of tone. Not sure what exactly is going on at the moment or why there was a living mummy in the room with them, also. Which now explains the weird supernatural presence she was picking up on, just moments ago. "Ok, somebody mind explaining to me why there's a live mummy here? Because if this a souvenir of some kind then it's a pretty lousy and weird one, I might add." asked/quipped Cammie as she looked curiously between her three friends in the room from the hallway behind the struggling mummy.
The mummy then was finally able to pull his caught bandage free from whatever it was caught on. That's when Ethan snatched the bag that held the mummy's pancreas in it, out of Benny's hands. "Here mummy, mummy! This is what you wanted, isn't it?" he asked/taunted the mummy as he dangled the bag up in front of it while slowly making his way towards the closet. "Good, mummy! Go it!" he said as he lured the moaning mummy to the closet. He then opened the door and tossed the bag inside. "Yeah!" he exclaimed encouragingly, as the mummy went inside the closet after it. Then he quickly shut the door behind it, knowing that the mummy couldn't open doors very well with his bandaged up hands that looked like mittens.
"Uh, problem solved!" chirped Benny in accomplishment with a pleased smile.
"Benny, we have to get this thing back to the museum." chided Ethan sternly to the spellmaster while giving him a serious look that he's not playing around here.
"Um, Sarah can fly him back in seconds!" quickly insisted Benny then, as he pointed over at Sarah happily.
Sarah immediately whipped her head over in his direction to give him this incredulous/offended look that basically said, 'excuse me? what did you just say?'.
"Sounds fun!" she quipped sarcastically in fake excitement before getting right to the point. "Or, I can go to class and let you clean up your own mess." she countered irritably, not wanting to help out with something she had no involvement in, in the first place.
"What?! There's a monster on the loose and you're not gonna help us?" complained Ethan in astonishment, as he casually pointed over his shoulder towards the closet behind him that contained the mummy in it. He didn't understand why she wouldn't want to help them deal with it. He thought that that was what they did, after all! To deal with any unruly monsters in town, such as a living mummy for example!
"Monster..." replied Sarah simply sounding not at all as concerned as he was, as she marched on over to the closet behind him. Sarah then opened the closet door to let the mummy out. Once out of the closet, all the mummy did was basically touch (more like tapped) Sarah gently a couple of times with it's mitten-like hands while looking at her. "Ooh! The mummy is attacking me! I'm so scared!" she then mocked sarcastically to Ethan in fake fright, not really seeing the mummy as a threat to anybody, unlike Ethan does. "Have fun." she then teased playfully before zipping on out of the room with her vampire speed. Not realizing that the mummy had a hold of the necklace she was wearing when she took off, causing it to come off.
Still a bit panicked about their mummy situation, Ethan then quickly shoved the mummy back into the closet and shut the door. Not realizing that the mummy had her necklace in his mitten-like hand. In fact, nobody noticed the necklace.
"You know, guys...she does have a point here. I really don't see this monster being as big of a threat as all the other monsters we faced before, in the past, were." pointed out Cammie in agreeance with Sarah on this one. "Plus, from what I'm understanding, it seems like this one is on you guys', somehow. I mean, why on Earth would you think stealing a mummy's pancreas was such a good idea, in the first place?! I can't believe you two, sometimes." she then scolded disapprovingly to the two before shaking her head in disappointment.
"What?! Where else am I suppose to get ancient pancreas at, to replenish Grandma's supply of it before she finds out that I used most of it in a potion that didn't even work?!" exclaimed Benny in surprise/defense at her, as he threw his hands up in defense.
"Oh, my goodness!" remarked Cammie unbelievably, as she rolled her eyes and shook her head (again). She's really starting to think that perhaps it's not Ethan and Jane who need a babysitter but rather her magic-wielding friend, instead.
Suddenly, something just occurred to Ethan. "Hey, Cammie! Isn't a dog's nose suppose to be like...ten times more stronger than a human's?" he asked.
"Yeah?! So, isn't Mr. Mummy Dude's musky old smell, like...killing your nose or something? I'm surprised you haven't even barfed yet from the guy's foul stench. I know I almost did when I got a whiff of his pancreas, earlier." wondered Benny curiously also, as he caught on to what Ethan was getting at.
"Nope! Not in this form, it doesn't!" answered Cammie cheerfully with a smile. "You see, the spell that makes me a human also dulls down all of my canine senses, as well. To the same level that they would be for a human, like you guys. So, however stinky Mr. Mummy is to you two, is about the same with me." she then explained.
Both boys simply nodded back in response before Benny then asked what they should do next. Ethan then came up with a (not too sure) plan on what to do about the mummy. Which was to lure it back to the museum with it's pancreas (in hopes that it'll follow them after it) and then to just leave both the pancreas and the mummy there. Hopefully, after reclaiming it's pancreas it'll want to go back to being dead, again. Benny willfully agreed with the half-baked plan, whereas Cammie wasn't quite so sure about it. To her, it seems like they should maybe try and look into what to do when there's a living mummy on the loose and how to properly get rid of them. But for now, this was the only plan that they seemed to have and she was pretty sure that the two would listen to her, anyway. Especially, since it involves a lot of reading, most likely. Which Benny never likes to do. Plus, there was no way the boys had enough time to dig up the necessary books and go through them all before having to get back to school after their free period was over with. So, this was the better option. For now, at least.
A while later, back at school. Ethan was at Sarah's locker with her when suddenly Erica came up to him. "Hey, Ethan!" she greeted in a friendly manner.
"Hey!" replied Ethan back to her in the same manner. Not even finding it the least bit odd that Erica was actually being nice to him for once. That is...until she spoke again after returning her friendly greeting.
"Heard you were having uh...'mummy' issues." teased Erica amusingly to the seer, as she made fun of him by using the other kind of 'mummy'. As in, the one that refers to 'mom' as it's meaning and not the ancient dead body of an Egyptian ruler that's found in a pyramid, meaning, either. "Hang in there." she then encouraged playfully/teasingly as she walked on by, taking pride in her teasing remark towards him about his mummy problem.
Ethan let out a small ( and barely audible) annoyed sigh at Erica's comment. "Ok, for the record. I would've never let Benny play organ donor if I had known that the mummy was cursed." he said to Sarah, regretting his earlier decision to go along with Benny's plan to take the mummy's pancreas.
But Sarah wasn't having any of it. "The words 'mummy' and 'curse' always go together. Have you ever heard of...'mummy parade' or 'mummy rodeo'?" she pointed out condescendingly to him in an obvious manner. Which made Ethan stop and think about it for a second.
"That's true." realized Ethan thoughtfully. "Although, mummy rodeo does sound pretty fun." he added chipperly/fondly with a smile, as the idea sort of grew on him a little. "But we got it all under control. Don't worry." he then stated confidently in a reassuring way to the vampire. Although, Sarah just gave him this look that said she had very little faith that they did have it under control somehow. Just then Ethan's phone rang from within his jacket. "Benny! What's up?!" greeted Ethan, after pulling out his phone and answering it.
"The mummy is missing!" replied Benny blatantly/anxiously once he heard Ethan's voice.
Ethan's expression soon became a calm and slightly worried one after hearing that. "I've...gotta take this call." he told Sarah while trying not to panic in front of her or even let her know that they didn't have it under control, after all. He then turned around so that she couldn't see his face or hear what he was saying. The moment he turned around Sarah rolled her eyes and looked away in annoyance, knowing she was right. They didn't have it all under control as he claimed they did. "What?!" exclaimed Ethan in a hushed tone with his voice going up an octave higher with a crack in it. "Maybe he just...you know, limped home?" he guessed hopefully, trying to come up with a good explanation as to where the mummy went.
"No! But it also ate some of my grandma's freaky bio leftovers!" replied Benny worryingly, while holding up an empty jar and looking at it with wide/concerned eyes. Not buying Ethan's guess about the mummy possibly just wandering back to the museum on his own.
Cammie was also there with him, deciding to stick around and help out Benny with the mummy thing. But she was frantically pacing in the background behind the spellmaster, worrying about where the mummy could've possibly gone.
"So, it had a weird diet. Who cares?" replied Ethan half-heartedly/perplexing with shrug, not really seeing what the big deal was about.
"Well, I check to see if any of them could regenerate a mummy's body." answered Benny a bit irritably with sarcasm laced in his voice while placing a bit of emphasis on the word 'body', so that his friend would get the point.
That got Ethan's attention now. "Can one of them do that?" he hurriedly asked in a panic.
"Try ten." answered Benny seriously in an obvious/sarcastic way. "Dude! We have a fully fleshed-out mummy walking around!" he then stated frantically in concern.
"Where would it go?" Ethan asked then, totally lost at where a mummy from the past would possibly want to go to in the present day.
"What am I, the mummy whisper?" snapped Benny sarcastically, as he was stressed out about the mummy being gone, too.
While Ethan was on the phone with Benny the entire time, he didn't realize that Sarah was starting to get fed up on waiting for him to get off the phone. Eventually, she just walked off down the hallway a little before suddenly being stopped by a young handsome man in front of her, who happened to round the corner she was about to go down.
"Pardon me! I came from the museum. I wanted to return this to you." he politely said to Sarah, while presenting her with the necklace she had lost earlier.
"Uh! Thanks!" exclaimed Sarah gratefully to the guy, as she took it back with a smile on her face. Happy to have her missing necklace back. "How did you know it was mine?" she then asked him.
"The gems. They...sparkle, like your eyes." he answered charmingly with such sincerity in his voice as he looked at her. This made Sarah smile flatteringly at the guy, liking his compliment about her eyes.
Just then Ethan turned around in their direction and notice Sarah talking with some guy who unknowingly had a mummy bandage sticking out of his right shoe. "I think...I just found him." said Ethan hesitantly/unbelievably while looking at them.
"Are you sure?" came Benny's voice from the other end of Ethan's phone.
"Yeah! Yeah! It's him!" replied Ethan unbelievably still, as he continued to watch Sarah and her new friend interact with one another.
"How can you tell?" asked Benny curiously, as the mummy guy offered up his arm for Sarah to take like a gentleman. Sarah graciously accepted the kind and sweet gesture by placing her hand on his arm before the two then walked away out of Ethan's line of sight.
"Because he has the mummy version of a toilet paper tail." replied Ethan, as he watched them walk away.
A bit later, Benny and Cammie (in her human form still) met up with Ethan at the school. They were now currently spying on the two through the cafeteria door's widows as they enjoyed a nice lunch together while chatting about whatever it was they were talking about.
"I can't believe the guy stole my clothes. Who does that?!" stated Benny a bit bitterly, as he watched Sarah laughing it up with the mummy dude.
"You stole the guy's pancreas!" pointed out Ethan incredulously.
"Ooh! Burn!" quipped Cammie insultingly to her spellmaster friend while trying not to laugh.
"It's not like he was using it." argued Benny back at the two in annoyance.
Just then, Erica came up being them. "Who's the new guy?" she inquired curiously to them, startling them enough to jump slightly and turn around. "Cute." she then added coquettishly and observantly while admiring how attractive the guy looked.
"Oh. I guess, if you're into older...charming, handsome guys." admitted Ethan reluctantly/offhandedly, as he tried not to act so bothered by the guy or the way he was flirting it up with Sarah just now.
"Sarah is! She's flirting up a storm." pointed out Erica casually, as she pridefully watched her best friend with the new guy through the window. Probably, secretly cheering her on in her head.
Cammie had to admit, the guy was very attractive looking. But she also knew that he wasn't actually alive (or in other words, wasn't born in the same time period as them) and that he was still a mummy. Besides, she was technically a dog herself and even though the mummy may be fully alive now, he was still just a human. And she really doesn't like the idea of dating outside of her species much, either. Besides, Sarah seems to like the guy a lot. So, she was happy for her friend. She just hoped that her happiness would last once she finds out that the guy she's in to, is really the mummy from the museum that had followed the boys home to Benny's place.
"Flirting?!" replied Ethan nervously, as he whipped his head around to look back in on the two again with a worried look on his face. "Ya, think?" he then asked anxiously with concern.
"Wow! You guys are so oblivious." stated Erica amusingly with a slight shake of her head and a smug smile on her face at the nervously frantic seer before her. She enjoyed playing with the boy's head, knowing very well just how much he likes Sarah.
"Or, maybe he's just...you know...helping her with her Egypt homework?" he then desperately tried to explain away, as he turned back around after seeing Sarah take the mummy's hand in hers while smiling at him fondly. A look of panic and fear still plastered all over his face, though, when he said it. Failing at not trying to seem so bothered by their closeness with one another.
"Dude. He's the mummy." bluntly pointed out Benny to him, not buying his excuse as he looked at him dully. Truth be told, none of them was really buying it.
Erica then gave him this intrigued look that said, 'what was that now?'. Wanting him to explain further on this topic about the new guy being a mummy. In which case, Benny happily did without her even needing to ask.
"I-! We kind of gave him a makeover." explained Benny proudly to the blonde.
Erica gasped impressively at that. "Really?! Can you makeover another one for me?" she asked Benny intriguingly with excitement in her tone, as Ethan turned back around to spy on Sarah and the mummy some more. Making Cammie facepalm herself at Erica's request. Like they would ever bring another mummy to life, ever again.
"I don't see why not?" replied Benny happily/cockily at the idea, as he looked between his best friend and Erica with a smile. Happy to do it if it means pleasing Erica.
"Benny! No!" chided Cammie quickly and harshly to her spell casting friend, knowing very well how dumb of an idea that is. Benny simply frowned at her response.
"Guys! We have to warn Sarah!" anxiously interrupted Ethan suddenly, as he turned back around to face them again. "This guy is clearly too old for her!" he informed them with nervousness and worry in his tone, as he pointed behind him with a rather anxious expression on his face. Clearly, seeing the two of them together was really starting to bother him.
"Oh, come on! What's the rush? She's finally found a guy that she likes and if you tell her now then she'll just pull a Sarah and get all freaked out." stated/explained Erica nonchalantly, not seeing what the big deal was all about. If anything she was supportive of her best friend's decision to wanna date the guy. Even if he's a mummy and is way too old for her. Heck! They're vampires now! In a few decades, they'll be the ones too old to be dating guys who are far too young to fit within their actual age range. Just because they may look 17 or 18 doesn't mean that they really are that age come a few years down the road, since vampires never age. So, while they're in their 50's they'll be dating guys who are closer to what they appear to be in age. Guys who are somewhere in their teens to mid-twenties, possibly.
Ethan took another glance behind him at Sarah and the mummy before immediately turning back around again. "No!" he refused stubbornly with determination in his tone, as he slightly pointed at nothing in particular, in that way you do when you mean business. "I have to put a stop to this!" declared Ethan passionately with confidence and eagerness. Not wanting to back down from his decision in telling Sarah the truth about this guy.
Erica just gave Ethan this knowing/suspicious look at the way he's acting, right now. Cammie also couldn't help but raise a curious/suspecting brow at the seer, too. Both girls thinking the same thing. That Ethan was jealous of the suave reanimated mummy guy winning over Sarah's affection so easily.
"For Sarah's safety, guys'." clarified Ethan seriously, then, in mild irritation, knowing very well what they were getting at. He wasn't jealous! Ethan shot his friend a dirty look first for good measure before then turning around to enter through the cafeteria doors and making his way on over to where Sarah and the mummy sat.
"How much you wanna bet he's really just jealous of the guy, is all. That's why he doesn't like him very much." quipped Cammie with a confident smirk on her face, as she watched Ethan go up to Sarah and her new ancient friend from Egypt. Erica and Benny both just silently nodded in agreement at what she said, knowing it was most likely true.
"Hey!... Sarah!" greeted Ethan to Sarah, as he sat down next to her. "Who's your friend?" he then asked while looking at the guy sitting across from her, trying not to seem so suspicious of the guy, knowing what he does about him.
"My name is Hottie Ho-Tep." answered the guy politely.
"It's Egyptian. I call him Hottie for short. He's so romantic." added a smitten Sarah, as she stared adoringly at Hottie from across the table.
"She is the light of a morning sun, that wakes my heart to life." recited Hottie poetically to Sarah while staring back at her endearingly. Sarah couldn't help but smile and blush a little at his romantically poetic compliment about her.
"Oh, come ON!" blurted Ethan unimpressively in a rude and incredulous manner. Instantly, regretting saying his thoughts out loud to them, as their eyes were now on him. "I mean...over here." he then embarrassingly corrected himself, as if that's what he meant to say all along. Pointing off in a random direction away from the table. "We need to talk." he then said to Sarah, getting up and moving out of earshot of Hottie.
Sarah looked confused at what that was all about for a second before finally getting up herself and walking over to where Ethan was, who was mentally kicking himself in the butt for his earlier outburst as he nervously paced around a little with his hand over his mouth.
"Ok, Captain Awkward! What's up?!" asked Sarah curiously in concern but also with a bit of sass in her tone, as well, due to how rude he was to Hottie, just now. That and he was interrupting her time with the guy, too.
"Well-" began Ethan a bit nervously before being interrupted by Sarah before he could get the words out to her.
"This better not be about your stupid mummy, again." warned Sarah seriously to the seer with a slight bit of annoyance in her tone. She then crossed her arms and looked at Ethan while awaiting his response.
There was a moment of awkward silence from Ethan then, as he gave what he had to tell her one more thought before deciding not to tell her just yet. "I guess it can wait." he told her, not wanting to incur the wrath of the beauty before him after the look she just gave him. Just then Hottie came up to them and handed Sarah a red rose. Sarah smiled and took the rose from him appreciatively. Then Hottie offered up his arm to her, which she took and the two walked away. Leaving Ethan there to watch as they walked away together, arm-in-arm with adoring expressions for one another on their faces.
Cammie and Benny then came up behind Ethan once the two were gone. "The guy's been alive for one day and already he's getting more ladies than you." commented Benny sympathetically to heartbroken his friend. Earning a harsh slap on the arm from Cammie for his somewhat heartless and rude comment to Ethan. Knowing how sad the seer probably was at the thought of Sarah being with another dude other than him.
Ethan then turned back around to face them. "This...is by far...the worst monster we've ever faced." declared Ethan very worriedly with seriousness in his tone. But you could also hear the bits of sadness and heartache in it, too.
"Come on, Ethan. Cheer up. It'll be ok. You'll see." encouraged Cammie reassuringly to her friend, as she placed a hand on his back and moved it up and down comfortingly in the hopes of cheering him up some. She hated seeing him so down in the dumps. And part of being a good pet was cheering up your owner when they're feeling a bit sad or upset about something.
Ethan didn't say anything back to her but he did give her a small grateful smile, though. To show that he appreciated her emotional support.
A little bit later on, back at the museum, a security guard was busy doing his duty patrolling the museum for any troublemakers or thieves. Well...sort of. While in the Egyptian exhibition, the security guard was looking at some of the stuff that was on display there. He picked up this golden scarab beetle thing to look at, first. He shook it lightly and then held it up to his ear as if listening for something inside it. When he heard nothing he placed it back down where he got it from and continued on with his patrol. Walking over to where two ancient medium-sized-looking Egyptian vases were at, on a pedestal.
Being nosy and curious (yet again), the guard first tapped one of the vases a couple of times before then picking it up to inspect it better. But when he picked it up he had tilted it on it's side and out came a bunch of sand just pouring out all over the floor. Realizing the mess he made, the guard then carefully placed the vase back down onto the pedestal next to the other one and then proceeded to quickly walk away as if nothing had happened. Leaving the sandy mess behind on the floor for someone else to discover and clean up, instead.
Once he was gone, the two vases then began to shake and glow suddenly until they both fell off of the pedestal causing both vases to smash into pieces upon impact with the floor. Two golden balls of light then formed on the floor where the two vases had landed at. The lights then became a hazy-like aura as they rose into the air mixing with the sand that was on the floor causing it to take the form of two human male figures dressed in ancient Egyptian attire holding a spear-like weapon in their left hand.
"We have been summoned back to Earth." one of the Egyptian guards stated, after seeing he had a human form again after all these years.
"Yes. The tomb is a lot more spacious than I recall?" deduced the other guard with a confused look on his face, as they both looked around perplexingly at their surroundings.
When the first guard looked behind them he noticed that the opened sarcophagus was empty. "Hottie Ho-Tep has escaped!" he stated pointedly. "We must capture him, at once." he then said to his fellow guard with determination and urgency in his tone.
"And punish those who dared freed him." agreed guard number two very seriously while looking at his comrade, who also agreed with him about punishing those who freed Hottie Ho-Tep from his sarcophagus. Then the two left, in search of Hottie Ho-Tep and the accomplices who had dared set him free.
Back at Whitechapel High, Rory found himself slowly backing up to his locker while very adamantly denying accusations about him stealing the mummy from the museum, earlier today. The ones doing the so-called accusing were Mr. G and Vice Principal Stern. Mr. G was being nice and good-natured about it while Vice Principal Stern seemed more unamused and unhappy about it all as he had his arms crossed over his chest with a stern scowl on his face. It was sort of like...good cop and bad cop between the two staff members during Rory's interrogation with them.
"Relax, Rory. It's just a locker search. We're only doing it because we were at the...museum, today." politely explained/reassured Mr. G easygoing-like while trying not to be accusatory of him about the missing mummy at the museum. Although, there was a slight twinge of guilt and shame there at the end of it, though, when he briefly hesitated for a moment.
"That and you have soiled rags hanging from your locker." suddenly pointed out Vice Principal Stern very observantly in a serious manner. He, on the other hand, wasn't as easygoing and friendly about the topic as Mr. G was.
Rory took a second to look behind him first before then explaining to them what the rags sticking out of his locker were about. "Oh! These! I've brought them from home." he said, turning around to open his locker up to show them what was inside. "Let's see... Ah! I have a squirrel." he said as he pulled out a wrapped up dead squirrel from his locker and handing it to Mr. G. "A pigeon." he then said next, as he pulled his next homemade mummy from his locker and handing it to Mr. G, as well. "And a cat!" he exclaimed proudly, as he pulled out a mummified-looking cat next. But the cat then meowed right as he was about to hand it off to Mr. G, as well. "Oops! This one isn't ready yet." informed Rory, as he took the cat back and started petting it, not realizing how weird it was to have dead mummified animals stored in your locker.
Mr. G worriedly looked down at what he was currently holding in his hands while not really knowing what to think about Rory's new hobby. "Well, Rory...y-you get an 'A' for effort. But an 'F' for FREAKING ME OUT!" stated Mr. G calmly at first but then raised his voice a little in disgust and horror at what he was holding while grossly squirming a little in revolt.
Sarah and Hottie rounded a corner of the school's hallway. "Yeah, it must get boring working in a museum all day." assumed Sarah to Hottie in a sweet and swooning way, as she looked up at him smiling as they walked.
"Yes." replied Hottie simply, as he stopped and turned around to face her. Taking her hands in his as he gazed at her with fondness and sincerity in his eye. "But I would gladly, cross the world over again to be next to you." he then declared devotedly/charmingly to her, making her blush and smile back at him. "Can I see you tonight?" he then asked Sarah.
"Ok!" happily quickly answer Sarah eagerly, but then her smile fell to a frown as she remembered something. "Oh. But I might have to babysit." she then recalled glumly.
This slightly confused Hottie a little, as he didn't quite understand what she had meant. "Sit? On a baby? Most strange...?" pointed out Hottie in confusion slightly, but then smiled again at her not really caring nonetheless as long as he gets to be with Sarah.
Little did the two lovebirds know, that Ethan was hidden away not too far away from them listening in on them with some sort of listening device. He was wearing headphones to intently listen in on what they were currently saying to one another. Benny was there, too, helping him listen in on their conversation together as he held the radar dish part of the device, aimed directly towards them while wearing a pair of headphones, as well, to listen in. Whereas, Cammie was still there, as well. Although, she just stood there with a rather annoyed look on her face, not believing that they were even doing this, right now. She was the only one out of three of them that wasn't trying to listen in on what they were saying to one another, as she felt it wrong for them to be doing so.
"How do I let them talk me into these things?" begrudgingly thought Cammie to herself, as she stood there with her arms crossed not appearing to be very amused by all this spying they were doing on the two. "Actually...where did they even get this kind of equipment at, anyway?!" realized Cammie then a bit alarmingly once she realized the device they were using to spy on them with. As far as she knew, neither Ethan nor Benny had such a piece of expensive equipment at their disposal. So, where did they get their hands on it at and how, for that matter? Or when, even?! Although, that question she already knew the answer to. "They probably nabbed it while I was busy going to the bathroom, earlier." she thought/concluded grimly to herself while shaking her head. Not knowing if she really wants the answers to the other two questions on her mind about the device they're using.
"But no matter! If we may do it...together," came Hottie's voice through the device and into the headphones that Ethan and Benny were both wearing.
"You and I shall outshine the stars." finished Hottie poetically and endearingly, after his small dramatic pause in his words to her.
This made Sarah smile widely at him then, as he took his leave and walked away from her. Leaving her standing there feeling all giddy and happy inside at what he just said and about their meeting later tonight. Once the feeling had passed, she then walked away towards where Ethan, Cammie, and Benny were at. Not really noticing them before until she got right up on them.
"Hey, guys!" greeted Sarah chipperly to them, causing them to quickly scramble to make it seem like they weren't just now listening in on her and Hottie's conversation together. Thankfully, Sarah didn't notice the weird equipment they had or that they were acting a bit suspicious when she approached them, either. "Hottie is soo sweet! We're really hitting it off." gushed Sarah happily.
"Really? I didn't notice." casually stated Ethan while trying not to seem jealous to her.
Cammie rolled her eyes at his comment, knowing he was just faking his nonchalant attitude towards Sarah and Hottie's little romance together. Cammie then smiled at Sarah supportively. "That's awesome, Sarah! I'm so happy for you!" she said sincerely to her vampire friend, which made Sarah smile back as thanks.
But then Sarah frowned a bit nervously and disappointedly. "But I'm just afraid to tell him that I'm a vampire." she then admitted a bit sadly and shamefully. "I mean, who wants to date some freaky undead creature?!" she then stated rhetorically in an upset/bitter tone.
Benny couldn't help but crack a small short, muffled-like laugh at the irony of what she just said. Not letting the laugh come out fully as he tried to keep his mouth shut when he did it. "You know, I think he'd be cool with that." he then told her sincerely in an encouraging manner.
This cheered Sarah right up at his words of support. "Really?!" smiled Sarah excitedly at the spellmaster, who gave her a faint 'yeah' as a reply back. "Thanks, Benny!" she then said ecstatically with gratitude in her voice, as she went in to give him a big thank you hug. After she was done hugging Benny, Sarah then immediately walked off feeling much better about her developing relationship with Hottie.
Cammie wasn't sure whether or not if Benny had actually meant what he said to her but she didn't care because clearly, his words had made Sarah really happy, again. And that's all Cammie cared about, too. Seeing her fangy friend happy once again. Although, Ethan, on the other, wasn't as thrilled about Sarah's rekindled confidence in wanting to be with this guy.
"Ok! We need to get Prince Pyramid back to the museum before Sarah gets too attached!" declared/stated Ethan assertively to Benny and Cammie, who only gave him that doubtful humming-like face, because they both knew that he only wanted Hottie gone ASAP so badly, was because he was jealous of the guy. Ethan looked at the both of them then defensively and stubbornly. "For her sake!" he exclaimed quickly in a stern and obvious tone.
But Benny wasn't backing down from this as he continued to give him that look with a knowing/smug smile on his face. "You mean for your sake." stated Benny blatantly in amusement, as he corrected him. Cammie giggled agreeingly, knowing he was right. "Yeah, Ethan! Just admit it! You only want him gone so badly because you're jealous of how into him Sarah is. You can't fool us, Ethan." commented Cammie in a mix of amusement and knowing with a dash of teasing thrown in, as well.
"Ugh." sighed Ethan frustratingly in annoyance with the two. "Are you going to help me or not?" he then asked Cammie and Benny.
"Ok! Ok!" replied Benny easily in surrender at his best friend's attitude, agreeing to help him.
Although, Cammie was still on the fence about it, though. But she decided it was probably best to stick around and help them, after all. In case, something went wrong. She just hoped that Sarah won't be too mad at her for going along with these two idiots' plan to break her and Hottie up, though. So, far Hottie does seem like a really great guy and as long he's no threat to Sarah or her friends then he was alright in her book. Plus, it's not like he's done anything wrong just yet, other than making Ethan jealous. But that was just harmless teenage hormones at play, though. The main reason why she wanted to help Ethan and Benny out is because she really wanted to keep a close eye on them and hopefully keep them out of more trouble. After all, they already brought a mummy back to life today! And they don't need more trouble on top of that! So, with a heavy sigh, Cammie also agreed to help him out with Hottie. "Fine. Let's do this." she sighed defeatedly.
"I found this...mummifying slash de-mummifying spell. But I have to test it!" informed Benny suddenly. "For all, I know it can turn him into someone else's mom." he then added in concern with sarcasm heavy in his tone.
"Where are we going to find another mummy to test it on?" asked Ethan in slight disappointment, knowing that mummies aren't exactly all that easy to come by.
"Check it out!" suddenly came Rory's excited voice from down the hall, as he approached them. It was as if some almighty being from above had just sent them their answer. "Can I mummy or what?!" he exclaimed proudly to his friends while showing off his dead mummified cat to them, that he made at home.
Ethan and Benny both looked at the vampire with stunned faces, whereas Cammie on the other hand, had a bit of a horrified/grossed-out expression on hers, though. Feeling sorry for the poor cat he just used as a practice dummy when it came to mummifying something.
"This kid has some serious issues!" thought Cammie a bit worryingly and freaked out a little about her blonde fangy friend, as her eyes remained glued to the cat mummy in his hands. She then looked back up at Rory and gave him a very serious warning-like glare. "I swear, Rory. If you ever get the bright idea to try something like that with me then I'll curse you for all eternity and make your immortal life hell. Do you understand me?" warned/threatened Cammie in a low and serious tone to the vampire. If she could she would've let out a growl for good measure right then, as well. But she can't due to her being in her human form, which only allows her to do things that humans can do. And one thing that humans can't do is growl. At least, not in the same way that a dog or some other member of the canine family can, that is. But thankfully, her mean look was enough to get her point across to the vampire, as Rory rapidly nodded in agreement that he got it. This made the caynic smile then, pleased with his answer. "Good." she said to him happily.
Later that day, at Ethan's house.
Rory and Benny were up in Ethan's room trying out that spell Benny had mentioned earlier. "Be careful! You'll hurt him!" called out Rory suddenly in concern to the spellmaster.
"I'm no veterinarian, but I'm pretty sure he can't feel a thing." pointed out Benny solemnly but also considerately to him, as well, as he looked at him with a slightly annoyed/serious expression on his face.
"Uh, nuh-uh!" disagreed Rory. "A mummy's spirit or ka is connected to it's body. Mr. Kitty feels all." informed Rory insightfully with dignity and pride to Benny.
Benny just glared at him as if he wanted to smack the smug look the vampire had on his face right off of it. Then Benny's expression went from spitefulness to confusion at how exactly Rory knew all of what he just told to him about mummies still being able to feel pain even in death.
"What? I did my homework." answered Rory simply/nonchalantly to the confused spellmaster as if it was obvious, after seeing the curious look he was getting from him.
After that Benny slapped his hands together and rubbed them as if warming them up before doing the spell. He then cast the spell on Rory's cat mummy and suddenly the cat mummy sprung to life once again. Rory was thrilled to see his beloved mummy cat alive again, whereas Benny was happy that it worked. But once Benny mentioned doing the spell again to make it a dead mummified cat again, the cat then ran out of the room with a hiss. Leaving both boys a little bit surprised at what just happened for a minute as they stared at the door it ran out off. Rory then spoke up saying how he forgot about how alive kitties tend to run away from you sometimes. Benny and Rory then quickly scrambled to catch the cat so they turn back into a dead mummy, again.
Downstairs, Ethan was about to go upstairs when suddenly the front door opened up, and in walked Sarah. "Hey!" greeted Ethan happily, as she came in. But she wasn't alone, as Hottie soon came in after her (much to Ethan's dismay). "What's he doing here?" he then asked soon after the moment he saw Hottie come through the door.
"Your mom said I could bring him." answered Sarah a bit sheepishly/awkwardly. She could probably sense the tension in the air coming off the boy on the stairs at the very sight of Hottie. Sarah wasn't entirely sure, but she had a very strong suspicion that Ethan didn't like Hottie very well for whatever reason. So, she decided to quickly change the subject. "So! What are you guys doing?" she then asked, right when Rory and Benny came stomping down the stairs in a hurry.
"We're chasing Mr. Kitty!" replied Rory excitedly after jumping to skip the last two or three stairs before then racing out the front door.
"A-And, you know! Other...cool stuff." quickly added Benny awkwardly, trying to cover up what they were actually doing while trying not to sound as lame as Rory's answer just made them out to be. Although, he had a feeling that it was too late, now. So, he just sullenly treaded on into the living room area, instead. Rather than follow Rory out the door in search of Mr. Kitty like an idiot.
"Sarah, can I talk to you for a second?" asked Ethan politely then. He then ushered her into the living room a bit away from Hottie, as Hottie closed the door finally. Ethan's action confused Sarah, then, when she saw how uneasy the seer looked when he glanced back at Hottie. "I-I don't think you should be hanging with Hottie so much." suggested Ethan concernedly to her, which only made Sarah more confused now.
"What! Are you like my guidance counselor or something?" replied Sarah sarcastically in an offensive tone.
Ethan looked over and noticed Hottie approaching them before then looking back at Sarah. "Just...trust me!" he whispered to her anxiously. "You never know when his past may catch up to him." he then warned her.
Sarah gave this slightly annoyed look at his warning right before the two Egyptian guards came walking in through the door behind them. Startled, they all turned around to face the two guards as one of them spoke. "Ah! Found you at last!" the guard said pleasantly in joy, happy for their search to finally be over with as he pointed his spear at them.
Frighten and confused, Ethan quickly walked further away from what was going on, all the way to the other side of the room to hide behind the couch with Benny. Sarah, though, just stood there perplexingly at what was going on and wondering who these guys were, too. Hottie, however, took a protective stance in front of her as the same guard continued to speak.
"You may have vowed to never join the underworld without a bride, but you may NOT join the living." he stated seriously to Hottie.
"You...sure you've got the right house?" asked Sarah curiously/reluctantly in confusion at the guards.
"The eternal guards of the Pharaoh." stated Hottie simply with a bit of bitterness in his voice. "They've sworn to ensure that I serve my sentence for eternity." he informed Sarah shamefully, as he turned to face her.
"Otherwise, what is the point of executing someone?" rhetorically asked the other guard with sarcasm laced in his voice, as he stepped closer to them with his weapon pointed at them.
Ethan Benny remained behind the couch watching the whole ordeal play out from the safety of their hiding spot like a bunch of cowards. Sarah, on the other hand, wasn't afraid of these losers as she stood her ground.
"It's time for a new line of work." trashed talked Sarah defensively before then flashing her fangs at the guards while hissing at them with her eyes turning their vampire yellow.
"Fear not, Sarah! I shall deal with these vermin." declared Hottie heroically to Sarah while keeping his eyes on the two guards before him. He then thrust forward a little while pulling out from behind himself this weird-looking wand thing and held it up in the air pointed towards the guards. A weird golden light from it then engulfed the guards' heads causing them to not be able to move. The only thing they could move was their mouths as guard one spoke.
"The Crook of Osiris!" he exclaimed in surprise as he couldn't move an inch or do anything as long as the light held them in place by it's caster.
Just then, Cammie came sneakily crawling into the living room (now in her dog form) where all the action was at. Since everyone's attention was on Hottie and the two weirdly dressed dudes near the front door, no one noticed her sneaking in and over to where the boys were hiding at behind the couch.
"So, what I'd miss?" whispered Cammie to Ethan and Benny, slightly startling the both of them.
"Long story short, these dudes are here for Hottie so that he may continue serving out his eternal punishment in some sort of...Egyptian limbo, I think?" answered Benny with certainty in tone at first, but then it began to fade more into a question than a definite answer.
Benny's quick and short rundown of what was going on was enough for Cammie to believe. So, like her two male friends, she peeked her head slightly over the couch to continue watching the action that was unfolding before them.
"I sensed it might come in useful in my travel." replied Hottie cockily to the guards before then swinging the ancient artifact which caused the two guards to then disappear into a bright golden ball of light.
Benny, Cammie, and Ethan's mouths were all hung open in awe and shock at what they just saw. Realizing now that as long as Hottie has that magical item then trying to get him to go back to being a 'lifeless mummy laying in an open sarcophagus on display at a museum again, was going to be a bit more difficult than they had originally thought it'd be.
"Ok. Note to self...try not to get caught up in the Crook of Osiris's power while trying to turn Hottie back into a mummy again." commented Cammie suddenly in a tone that mixed with both amazement and terror, as she just stared ahead with wide eyes and a stunned expression on her face, as well. Ethan and Benny just silently nodded in agreement with her with the same expression on their faces, as well.
"Nice moves." said Sarah impressively while Hottie still had his back to her, panting slightly either from the shock of what just happened or from how much energy using the Crook of Osiris had taken out of him for using it for the first time. Hottie then turned to face her.
"I was totally about to do...all of...that." spouted Ethan bravely and awkwardly at once suddenly as he got up from behind the couch pointing at them while trying to pretend that he just wasn't cowardly hiding behind the couch just a moment ago. Which he was.
"Our victory is short-lived. But the guards...they'll live again. I've merely just returned them to their tombs, but they will not rest until I have returned home." informed Hottie seriously to Sarah in a heroic-like manner.
Back at the museum, in the ancient Egypt exhibit.
Just as Hottie had said, the two guards had suddenly reappeared again in a brilliant gold light back at the museum next to the sarcophagus. One of them was holding their head as if he had a small headache after their fight with Hottie and being sent back to the sarcophagus again. They both obviously weren't too pleased about being outsmarted by Hottie like that, but they weren't about to give up on their mission to return Hottie back to his tomb. They may have failed in capturing him this time, but they won't again come the next time they see him. Once they track him down, again, that is.
Back at Ethan's, Sarah looked at Hottie with a bit of disappointment on her face. "So...you're the mummy." she stated a bit sullenly in disappointment to him.
"We tried to tell you." blurted Ethan suddenly then to her. Causing Sarah to then turn around to look at him angrily as her eyes turned yellow.
"You knew about this?!" exclaimed Sarah incredulously in shock and anger.
Benny didn't know what to say as she just stood there with his hands up a little, gawking as he tried to find the right words to say. But Sarah then turned back around and hissed silently to herself while looking down, as if she was trying to suppress the urge to do it. Then Hottie spoke up to say something which caused her to look up at him.
"I wanted to tell you, but...I feared me being an undead creature might...frighten you away." confessed Hottie honestly in shame to her. "I see now that you have...secrets of your own." he then said to her charmingly, as he lifted his hand slightly up to her chin to tilt it up slightly so that she may look him in the eyes. But Sarah then quickly looked back down as she placed a hand over her mouth to conceal her fangs from him, but Hottie stopped her. "No. Don't. They're beautiful." he told her in a kind and genuine tone, as he gently took her hand and moved it away from her face which caused Sarah to look back up at him, again. When she did she saw him smiling back at her in a kind and loving way that told her that he truly meant it. This caused her to smile back at him, too, before leaning in to kiss him. But right before their lips could touch, they were interrupted by a cat's meow that came from beside them.
When they looked over, there, sitting on an end table was an orange tabby cat staring up at them, purring. Hottie then immediately got down on one knee and bowed his head to the cat, like one might do when greeting royalty to show their respect to them.
"What's wrong?" quickly asked Sarah in concern then.
"You...allergic or something?" hesitantly asked Ethan, as well, while looking at Hottie in confusion. In fact, they all had confused expressions on their faces at Hottie's strange behavior towards the cat.
When Hottie noticed Cammie there in her dog form, he subtly glanced over at her cautiously while still trying not to look the cat in the eyes as he continued his bowing stance. Ethan got the message of what he was possibly worried about and decided to speak up. "Oh! Don't worry, she's cat friendly." reassured Ethan quickly back at him, which caused Hottie to relax some before speaking himself, too.
"Cats are the guardians of the afterlife. This one speaks to me." explained Hottie to them.
Benny then crossed his arms and smiled. "Is it naptime?" he said amusingly in a condescending manner as if speaking to a child.
Hottie then stood back up again. "In a manner of speaking." replied Hottie to Benny's comment/question. "My apologies for bringing these troubles to your house." he then politely apologized to Sarah, as if it was her house he was in. He had this...worried and anxious look upon his face, too, when he said it. "I must go." he then said to them in a hurry, before making his way towards the exit.
But then Sarah tried to stop him. "Wait, Hottie!" called out Sarah urgently to him, as she quickly followed behind him towards the door. "Where are you going?" she then asked him out of concern.
"I have angered the gods by remaining on Earth. It is time I departed this world for the next." answered Hottie.
"But...we were just getting to know each other." replied Sarah a bit sullenly with fondness in her tone, as well. She didn't want to see him go away forever, never to see him again. Sarah didn't care that he was the mummy from earlier in the day that had followed Ethan and Benny home. Now, that he could speak and wasn't all shriveled up and wrapped in bandages from head to toe anymore, he was really quite cute and charming to be around. And she loved the way his voice sounded, too. It was like poetry everything time he spoke to her in that romantic and soothing tone of his. She didn't understand why the universe would want to take someone so...so...perfect away from her, like that?
"Is that really what the cat said?" whispered Benny curiously in discretion to Cammie, as if he didn't want to disturb whatever sappy and corny romance thing was going on between Sarah and Hottie at the moment.
Cammie simply shrugged a little while nodding her head. "Hmm...yeah! Pretty much!" she answered nonchalantly back at him. But Hottie had heard her and looked at her in confusion and shock.
"Did that dog just speak?" asked Hottie incredulously in awe to Benny, who simply nodded himself with a small 'yeah' escaping his lips. Benny didn't really see what the big deal was since he was already used to Cammie being a talking dog, basically. "But...how?" then asked Hottie still in shock.
Cammie rolled her eyes then. "Ugh! Long story short, I'm a magical talking dog who can also do magic. There. That's all you need to know." she said in annoyance/boredom, as if she had repeated the same thing over and over again already today to people. Which she hasn't. It was just Cammie wasn't in the mood right now to rehash the whole 'being a rare/almost extinct species of supernatural creature that happens to be a dog that can do magic and only those who are supernatural themselves can hear her when she speaks' thing to anybody.
Cammie's snarky and rude explanation was all Hottie needed and he left it at that. Not wanting to get on the magical talking dog's bad side. He then shifted his attention back on to Sarah as he looked at her with kind and sweet eyes. "Sarah. These...," began Hottie sweetly to her before briefly taking a moment to pause in his words to questionably look at the two teenage boys behind her, before speaking again. "large children you sit on, may have stolen my pancreas, but...you have stolen my heart." continued Hottie romantically and wholeheartedly, as he smiled fondly at her. Sarah couldn't help but look down and smile back flatteringly at him while blushing slightly.
Hottie's words to Sarah and odd look towards them briefly, had Ethan standing there looking at the revived mummy with a confused and slightly offended expression on his face. Whereas, Benny just stood there with his arms still crossed while sarcastically looking slightly off to his side at Ethan with an amused/incredulous look on his face that said, 'can you believe this guy right now?'.
"Might we meet again, so that we may seal our fate in the stars?" asked Hottie poetically to Sarah.
Feeling revolted (and a bit jealous, too) by Hottie's sappy words to Sarah, Ethan placed his finger towards his mouth to do the fake gagging gesture. Benny, on the other hand, just looked away unimpressively at the two lovebirds in front of him as if he was tired of seeing all of the mushy crap going on between the two. Cammie, though, had an opposite reaction to the scene before her as she looked at Hottie and Sarah adoringly while letting a very hushed 'aw' sound escape her mouth. Cammie couldn't deny that the romance brewing between the two was kind of growing on her a bit. It was like a sappy romance movie was playing out right before her very eyes.
"Of course." answered Sarah in a sweet and loving tone, as she smiled infatuatedly at Hottie.
Hottie smiled back at her, happy about her answer before then finally taking his leave out the door. As he left, Rory then came walking back through the door. He gave Hottie a weird look at first before then turning his attention back to the inside of the house while calling out his mummified cat's name.
When the cat saw Rory, it immediately took off again. "Apparently, someone hasn't forgotten what Rory has done to them." quipped Cammie quietly to herself, as she watched as the poor frightened cat took off running just at the sight of Rory. But Cammie didn't blame the poor cat, though. Especially, after what he's done to it when it was still alive. Like...who mummifies a poor animal BEFORE they're even dead?! Sometimes Cammie wishes there was a spell to fix idiocy because if there was then she definitely knows a couple of people who she'd use on, too. "At least, he didn't gut the poor thing first, like they do in the actual mummification process. So, that's a plus...I think?" thought Cammie in relief at first but then became a bit uncertain there at the end.
"Hey, guys! Did I miss anything?" asked Rory stupidly/cluelessly to his friend in the room. Not even noticing Mr. Kitty taking off away from him, again. Sarah raised a curious/serious brow at the blonde first before then letting out an amused breathy-like sigh with a small smile on her face.
"Can you believe that guy? 'Seal our fate in the stars.' Really?" complained Ethan bitterly and upsettingly to Benny and Cammie as they entered his room. He was frustrated that even after finding out that he was the mummy all along and that he had these two weird dudes chasing after him, Sarah was STILL infatuated with this guy! What does it take for her to see that this guy was bad news, anyway?!
"I know! Right? Sarah totally ate it up." agreed Benny sympathetically but also amusingly to his best friend.
Cammie, on the other hand, just giggled in amusement at Ethan's dismay at the situation with Sarah and Hottie, finding it enjoyable and platonically cute, too. "Careful there, Ethan. Your jealousy is starting to show." giggled out Cammie amusingly, right before jumping up onto Ethan's bed to lay down on.
Benny cracked a short chuckle at Cammie's comment, whereas Ethan just rolled his eyes at her in annoyance as he lightly shook his head. "Yeah, well...I bet he stole it from some sort of...corny, old Egyptian pop song or something." Ethan then said to him with a bite of bitterness in his tone, as he and Benny sat down at his computer desk.
"Awe, dude. Just let it go." sighed Benny in slight annoyance as he was sick and tired of hearing Ethan's constant complaining about Hottie, as Ethan started typing away on his computer's keyboard. "Look! Rotting Romeo is going back to Ragsville and for once we don't have to do anything!" explained Benny logically with a bit of enthusiasm in his tone, as well, as if it was obvious. This caused Ethan to stop typing all of a sudden as he turned his head to look at him while mulling over what Benny just said to him for a moment.
"Yeah. You're right." replied Ethan thoughtfully, as he thought it over a bit and realized that Benny did have a point about Hottie no longer being a problem anymore. "Well, I promise from now on, he's out of my mind." reassured Ethan earnestly to the spellmaster, feeling much better about the topic.
"Tch! Yeah, right!" scoffed/mumbled Cammie quietly to herself, then. Doubting Ethan's words about letting it go.
Benny sighed out in relief as he leaned back in his chair some while mumbling a 'thank goodness' to himself. But it was short-lived, as at that very moment Ethan went right back to focusing on his computer screen, again.
"Ha! I got him!" exclaimed Ethan exuberantly while pointing at the computer screen after hitting a button on the keyboard before whipping his head in Benny's direction.
Cammie lightly chuckled to herself after that. "Told ya!" she then quietly said in an 'I told you so' sort of tone with a smug smile on her face, as she continued to watch the two boys in the room.
"Ugh...for goodness sakes." moaned Benny unhappily before leaning upright in his chair, again. "What?!" he then snapped a bit heatedly out of frustration at his friend's obsession with this Hottie guy.
"That...'fate in the stars' line?! He did steal it!" boasted Ethan while pointing a finger at the screen that had some sort of website page pulled up on it that was about ancient Egypt. Ethan felt proud of himself for finding out this little bit of information about Hottie being a fraud in the romance department. "I'm so telling Sarah." he then said eagerly in excitement at what he found out, feeling all giddy now.
"Ancient Egypt had pop songs?" questioned Benny out loud in confusion.
"Well...not quite. It's from some ritual." answered Ethan, as he scrolled down on the webpage he was looking at. He then stopped once he saw something troubling. "Uh oh. Looks like he means he's taking Sarah to the Underworld." worriedly pointed out Ethan then, as he looked over at Benny.
"That club on Main street?" commented Benny thoughtfully out loud in confusion. "Lame." he then finished unimpressively, not getting that that's not what Ethan had meant.
Ethan then gave him that dead serious 'really?' look, before clarifying which underworld he had meant. "The other Underworld." he clarified blatantly. Cammie just shook her head in disbelief at the spellmaster's denseness then, when it came to the proper underworld that Ethan was referring to. She didn't get how he would've gotten the two mixed up so easily like that. Especially, since Ethan had the website pulled up on the screen right in front of him and he knew that was where the seer was getting in info at.
"All that junk food is definitely rotting his brain out." thought Cammie sarcastically/unbelievably to herself.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! What did I do?! Ow!" cried out Benny painfully, as he was being led by the ear to a shelf in a room somewhere in his house by his grandma. Wondering what he did wrong this time to deserve such treatment from her. But when she finally let go of his ear to pick up a glass jar from the shelf she had led him to and then showed him the said jar, Benny understood then what he had done wrong. "Oh. That." he said unenthusiastically/unhappily, knowing that he was busted for using some of her ancient pancreases without asking first and for almost using it all, too.
"What did you do with all the pancreas?" asked Mrs. Weir in a stern and yet gentle manner, as she stared down her grandson condescendingly. "How am I suppose to make my special lasagna?" she then asked soon afterward but in a more lighter and less scolding tone and manner.
"I was just-!" began Benny but then he stopped mid-sentence once he realized what she just said. "Wait...lasagna?" he then asked perplexingly while making a face to match his confusion.
Ignoring his evident question about the lasagna, Evelyn wanted answers about her missing pancreas. "Speak." demanded Mrs. Weir sternly/seriously to him while pointing her finger at him demandingly.
"Ok. Well, it all started when I wanted to grow a beard." began Benny (somewhat fondly) as he started explaining everything that happened that day to his grandma. A few minutes later, he was now sitting down at a table with his arm propped up and his chin resting on his hand as he gazed off thoughtfully into space while concluding his story. "And now, Sarah's dating a mummy." he finally finished.
"Poor girl." commented Evelyn sympathetically, then after hearing about that last part with Sarah dating a mummy. "I dated a mummy once. One minute they're romancing and then the next minute they're dragging you down to the Underworld. Great kisser, though!" she explained reminiscently to Benny, who was listening intently to her up until the 'great kisser' part, that is.
"Eww! Grandma! Ugh!" cringed Benny in disgust, not wanting to know that part. He then decided to change the subject by getting back at the topic at hand. Which were Sarah and Hottie. "Well, anyway, Sarah can't really die. So, she's in the clear." pointed out Benny in an easygoing manner while making a valid point and acting as if there's nothing to worry about.
"Dying is not the problem. He'll offer her his sacred tea and then the next minute she'll be sucked down a portal into the Underworld." elaborated/stressed Evelyn seriously in concern about Sarah's situation.
Benny then gave her this thin-lined, calm but also worried smile before giving a nod. "Good to know." he then said to her gratefully but you can tell he was freaking out on the inside, though, about the possible danger that Sarah might be in, now.
The moment his grandma left the room, Benny immediately wiped out his phone and started to dial Ethan. "Hey, dude!" greeted Benny mellowly at first once Ethan picked up, but then his tone quickly turned to a more serious and slightly worried one, instead. "We have a problem." he then blatantly stated into the phone to his friend on the other end.
Back at the museum, in the ancient Egypt exhibit. There was a lovely Egyptian-style tea set all set up on a small table, as one of the Egyptian guards poured some tea into the two teacups before setting the teapot down and walking away to go stand next to the other guard. At the table sat Hottie with Sarah sitting across from him. Both of them were adorned in golden accessories while all dressed up in Egyptian attire that was once custom for Egyptian royals or nobles to wear back then, in Hottie's era.
"You look beautiful." complimented Hottie from across the little table.
"You're not too bad yourself. Not a lot of guys can pull off eyeliner." quipped Sarah right back at him in a charming way, as she leaned forward to place her arms on the table.
"It was more fashionable a few millennia, ago." he joked back at her in amusement, as he played along with her little joke.
"Speaking of...millennia," started Sarah a bit more seriously now. "I was wondering, how much further do you see this relationship going?" she then asked him a bit nervously but also curious, as well.
Hottie then leaned forward slightly in his chair as he looked at her earnestly. "Sarah, I just wanted my last drink on Earth, to be with you." he said to her sincerely in a loving and charming manner.
Sarah let out a sigh of relief then at Hottie's answer. "Ok, well good." she breathed out happily with a big smile of relief on her face.
"And then Anubis, the God of the Death, will pull our souls into the Underworld." he then simply said/added a bit quickly, as if it was no big thing. But to Sarah, it was.
"Yeah, about that." began Sarah awkwardly/uneasily, not liking the idea of having her soul be pulled down into the Underworld along with his. "I think we're moving a little too fast." she said seriously but also in a polite and gentle way as not to hurt his feelings any, while making that hand gesture you do to show when something is really, really small.
A friendly/nervous smile then displayed itself upon Hottie's face, as he tried to hide his displeasure with Sarah's words earlier. He then looked up at the guards behind her with a serious expression on his face, as he realized that he's going to have to do this the hard way with her. "Make sure we're not disturbed." he ordered demandingly to them in a stern tone.
The two guards gave a firm nod to show that they understood before then leaving the exhibit. As the guards left them alone in the exhibit, Sarah looked downward in discomfort and awkwardness while feeling uneasy and worried, too. Not liking the way this is turning out for her.
Outside of the museum, Rory came speeding up in front of it while pushing a shopping cart containing Benny riding inside of it and Ethan on the outer front part of it. Although his sudden and abrupt stop had caused Ethan to go tumbling forward it a bit just ahead of the cart after losing his grip and footing on it from the sudden jerk that came with such a sudden stop like that. Cammie was riding in the cart with Benny on top of him in her canine form, but she had used a spell earlier to make herself much smaller as not to hurt the spellmaster with her weight. Not that she was heavy or fat or anything like that. It was just a lot easier for him to deal with a smaller-sized dog's weight on top of him than a larger-sized dog's, was all. Plus, it was also less weight for Rory to push, too.
"Thanks for the lift, Rory!" thanked Ethan to the vampire, while trying to recover still from the ride on here. Cammie jumped off Benny's torso and out of the cart, onto the ground. Then she used her magic to make herself back to her normal size again.
"Oh, ugh! I think I'm gonna be Rory sick!" complained/moaned Benny a bit nauseatingly while climbing out of the cart.
"Not me! I thought it was awesome! Let's do it again!" piped up Cammie then with enthusiasm and thrill in her tone, as she enjoyed the speedy ride on over to the museum. It was like being on a really fast and fun amusement ride or something! There was a big and excited smile on her face from the adrenaline rush she now had from the ride there, as she wagged her tail happily with her face all lit up with joy and excitement, ready to go again.
But before any of them could say anything back to the young caynic, the two Egyptian guards from earlier had come marching out of the museum's doors with their spears. "Halt!" commanded one of them aggressively to the teens and their canine companion. The boys did as they were told and they stared back at the fierce guards with startled and slightly frightened looks on their faces. Cammie, on the other hand, growled protectively at the two guards, instead. Ready to take action if need be, to protect her friends. "None may disrupt Hottie Ho-Tep's journey to the Underworld." stated the guard warningly to them.
"Especially, Sarah's male friend who can not take a hint." rudely sassed the other guard to them, observantly.
Ethan threw his arms up slightly in frustration while looking at the dude in a baffled and offended expression on his face at what he just said about him. Still not getting why everyone keeps saying he's jealous of Hottie when he's not! Cammie stopped growling at the guards and was instead now trying not to laugh at what the guy just said about Ethan, knowing it was true.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, wait! So first, you're trying to take him out...and now you're chaperoning his date? What gives?" questioned Benny curiously/oddly, interrupting Ethan before he could start protesting stupidly (and strongly, too) back at the guy in denial like an idiot while possibly making a fool of himself in the process, as well.
"It is our duty to make sure he returns to the Underworld. He is doing so." answered the first guard nobly with dignity and pride.
Rory then came up between Ethan and Benny, and stood in front of them boldly with a look of determination on his face. "I'll handle this." stated Rory bravely with such seriousness in his tone, as he stood there ready for a fight with the two guards. That is...until he suddenly heard a meow and immediately looked over in the direction it came from to see his cat. "Mr. Kitty!" he exclaimed loudly in surprise before letting out a small anxious gasp and taking off after the cat. Again.
The guards watched as he ran off with looks of confusion at the strange kid. "Rory?! Now is not the time!" called out Ethan incredulously in a scolding-like manner to the blonde with his hands held out to his sides a little bit in disbelief and shock at him just taking off like that on them. "And I thought dogs were supposed to be the only ones who loved chasing cats. Not people." quipped Cammie in disappointment at the blonde, as she shook her head in shame.
"There you are, Mr. Kitty!" exclaimed Rory overjoyed then (ignoring Ethan's scolding to him), at having finally found his missing kitty. When he picked it up, though, the sounds of angry meowing and hissing could be heard coming from the cat.
"I'm just not ready for this type of commitment! And the whole afterworld thing is a little freaky!" explained Sarah desperately to Hottie, as she tried to talk him out of going through with the ceremony to send their souls to the Underworld.
"Sarah, you have nothing to fear. If your heart is free of sin, then you will get into Paradise," he says back at her reassuringly in a confident manner.
Seeing as there was no way in getting him to change his mind about the whole thing, now. Sarah finally had enough. "Yeah, this isn't going to work out." she told him dissatisfiedly then, in slight anger and frustration at the whole thing.
"Very well," stated Hottie a bit disappointingly in her attitude, as he leaned back in his chair. "I have no choice but to accept your decision." he declared a bit dejectedly, but acceptingly, though while propping his arms up on the table so that his fingertips could touch each other to make a peak shape with his hands. Earning a small weak smile of gratitude and thanks back from Sarah, then.
Back outside the museum.
All eyes were currently on Rory, as he was busy trying to get Mr. Kitty off his face.
"Aaaah! Mr. Kitty! Stop it! Stop!" yelped Rory demandingly but also painfully and a bit scared, as well, while walking between the guards and his friends, turning his torso to and fro to get the cat off of him. But Mr. Kitty continued to be latched onto Rory's face, hissing angrily at the poor struggling teen in pain.
Not knowing what else to do, Ethan and Benny ran across the street to the other side for their lives. While Cammie just remained on the side that the two guards were on, shaking her head. "Guys! Come on! We can so take them! Don't be suck cowards all the time!" yelled out Cammie to them in annoyance. Wondering if they had forgotten that two out of the three of them could do magic and that these two Egyptian dudes were still just regular people with no magic or powers of their own. Even their weapons didn't possess any magical properties that they could use! Unlike, Hottie who had that Crook of Osiris thingy with him, that is. He had already proven to them that, that thing did possess some sort of magic in it.
But the boys didn't hear her, as they continued to cower in fear at the guards. The two guards then started to approach Ethan and Benny with their weapons at the ready.
"You got a spell for this?!" asked Ethan frightfully to Benny.
"Like what?!" countered Benny back, also in fear.
"I don't know?! Do something!" snapped back Ethan heatedly in panic.
"How about running? Running is something." suggested/pointed out Benny in a somewhat hopeful tone.
"Oh, my goodness!" groaned Cammie in disappointment and annoyance at the two then, while shaking her head and rolling her eyes. If she wasn't in her dog form right now then she would've thrown her hands up in the air in frustration at the two idiots, as well. Just then, her doggy ears picked up on the sound of a vehicle coming down the street and turned her head to look at it.
Cammie wasn't the only one who heard it coming, too. The two Egyptian guards also heard the sound and turned their heads in the same direction as the oncoming vehicle.
"Wait! What is that?!" said the guard who was doing all the talking earlier, as he stared at the strange object coming towards him and his fellow guard in awe and amazement.
"It is though two stars have fallen from the heaven and-" commented the second guard, also memorized and fascinated by the strange object that approached them. But sadly, never got to finish what he was saying as the strange object they were so captivated by turned out to be an oncoming truck passing by which then winds up hitting the two guards (who were in the street still). Thus, turning them back into sand again and leaving nothing behind but their sandals on the pavement.
Cammie, Ethan, and Benny all stood there in shock at what they just witnessed. "Well, that takes care of that, I suppose?" stated Cammie satisfactory but also a bit questionably in confusion, as well, while cocking her head slightly to the side with an unsure/curious look on her. Once the coast was clear (after checking to make sure there were no more vehicles passing by), Cammie then crossed the street to where the boys were at.
"Well..." gawked Benny in shock still before then getting over it and acting as if what happened wasn't such a big deal, after all with a shrug of the shoulders and a cocky scoff. "We showed them!" he cockily stated with confidence, as he pulled on his jacket some in a flashy/confident manner.
"Yeah...we sure did, Benny." agreed Cammie sarcastically, while shaking her head. "Now, come you two! Sarah needs us!" urged Cammie hurriedly then, as she went back across the street again towards the museum's entrance with Ethan and Benny close behind.
But before they could enter, Cammie then quickly stopped them. "Wait a minute, you guys! I can't go in there like this!" pointed out Cammie then.
"How come?" asked Ethan perplexingly.
Cammie rolled her eyes at that, thinking it was so obvious as to the reason why she couldn't enter the museum, right now. But she told them anyway. "Because I'm in my dog form! That's why!" she blurted out to them in an obvious tone as if they were stupid or something. "Dogs aren't allowed in the museum! Duh!"
"But the museum is closed now, Cammie. There's no one even here! Except for uh...us, Sarah, and old mummy dude in there." pointed out Benny.
"Yeah! And the museum's security guard, as well!" added Cammie in a sarcastic kind of tone while making a good point.
"Cammie, I highly doubt the security guard will care one way or another whether you're a dog or human at this point since the place is supposed to be closed, right now. Which means no one should even be here at this hour except for him and any other museum employees who happen to be working late, tonight. So, no outside visitors allowed!" explained Ethan to his canine friend.
"I don't care!" spat Cammie pointedly to her friend. But then her expression became more shy and bashful looking. "Besides...they tend to wax the floors in here which makes it hard for animal paws to move quickly on, in case we have to run for some reason. So, uh...just humor me, will ya?" she said/confessed a bit embarrassingly. If she wasn't in her dog form then she'd be blushing, right now, too.
Ethan and Benny both looked at each other for a second, realizing that she did have a point about the waxed floors being slippery to run on. Especially, for animals since they don't wear shoes like humans do. At least, their shoes provide some friction on the slippery floors for them while running. Both boys then looked back at their canine friend with Ethan giving a nod of confirmation for her to go ahead and change.
Cammie smiled gratefully back at the seer before doing the spell that turns her into a human. The moment her eyes glowed blue, a bright white light then surrounded her that lasted for only a few seconds. Once the bright light had gone away, Cammie was now in her human form.
"Ok! I'm ready! Let's go!" stated Cammie cheerfully with a peppy and eager smile on her face.
And with that, they all hurriedly entered the museum to save Sarah from Hottie dragging her down to the Underworld with him.
Hottie took a drink of his tea. Once he was finished drinking it, he looked at Sarah expectedly but with a serious look for her to do the same. "Now it is your turn." he said to her.
Sarah held her cup of tea in both hands while looking down at it hesitantly as if debating with herself whether to drink it or not.
"Please. If you care for me, you will drink." stated Hottie sympathetically but also with a bit of command in his tone, as well. As he tried to guilt Sarah into drinking it by using her feelings for him, against her.
Sarah then lifted the tiny teacup the rest of the way towards her lips to drink it but right before her lips could touch the cup; Ethan, Benny, and Cammie came barreling in through the doorway behind her to stop her from drinking that tea.
"Sarah! No!" called out Ethan to her urgently.
Sarah put down the teacup and turned around behind her to face them. Clearly not happy to see them, right now. Hottie, on the other hand, stood from his chair, also not looking too pleased about their presence here.
"Seriously, guys?!" exclaimed Sarah incredulously with mild frustration and annoyance in her tone, as well.
"Sarah, if you drink that death juice it's a one-way ticket to the Underworld." warned Benny.
"Hottie, is that true?" asked Sarah then, as she turned to face Hottie.
"My Sarah...Earthly life is nothing but a fleeting dream. A new life awaits." replied Hottie seriously while trying to sound loving and reassuring to her, too. Basically, trying to suck up to her, in other words. Ethan and Benny both looked at each other with confused and curious expressions on their faces that said, 'what he is even talking about?' before then looking back in the mummy and vampire's direction, again. Cammie had the same look on her face, as well, but she was staring at the two overly decked out people in golden jewelry and accessories before her, though, when she did.
Sarah was now mad at Hottie after hearing the truth and what he had planned for her. She stood up angrily to face the mummy. "Save it, for the Afterlife. We're done!" she said to him angrily while breaking up with him. But when she tried to walk away, Hottie quickly grabbed her arm to stop her.
"I will NOT...let you walk away from destiny." declared Hottie seriously in a demanding and forceful tone out of frustration and anger that his plan to trick Sarah into drinking the tea that will take her to the Underworld with him had failed.
Sarah glared at him as she talked back to the ancient former prince. "Hottie, you're cute. But you're not gonna stay cute if you don't let me go!" she said in a sweet and kind tone at first before then changing it to a more angry/demanding one. She then hissed at Hottie, who then let her go. But as Sarah tried to walk away from him, Hottie then used the Crook of Osiris on her to prevent her from leaving. A golden sparkly light was cast down over Sarah's head and body from the staff's end. Sarah tried to move towards the exit but couldn't, as she stood there in place struggling under the staff's light. It was like it had her feet glued to the floor or something.
"Time to man up!" stated Ethan bravely to his best friend and doggy friend beside him, as he raised his fists in the air in front of him, ready to fight Hottie. Benny did the same with his hands, too.
"Hey! But I'm not a man, though! I'm a woman!" quickly corrected Cammie in offense to her human friend, but she too then raised her fists up as if ready for a fight with someone. More specifically, Hottie.
But Hottie wasn't about to take any chances fighting the three of them. So, with his free hand, he shot a golden ball of light out of it and towards these two golden beetle things (that according to the museum was some sort of Egyptian jewelry that was worn in ancient Egyptian times). The two gold beetles then came to life and flew off in Ethan, Cammie, and Benny's direction, then. The bugs flew all around the three of them, as they tried to swat the insects away from them.
Now, with the intruders distracted, Hottie used the staff to force Sarah to turn and look at him. "Sarah, we all have to go, eventually." he said to her before flinging his free hand behind him while saying some strange words (as if casting a spell) in ancient Egyptian probably. The sarcophagus behind him then suddenly opened up as a bluish-white light revealed inside it. It was a portal that showed this desert-like oasis on the other side of it.
"Why do all hot guys have to be such jerks?!" complained Sarah out of annoyance as she struggled to get free from the staff's control on her.
"Headgear! Is this yours?!" called out Ethan to Hottie, as he picked up one of the many little jars in the exhibit while thinking on his feet. He knew that the jars contained Hottie's internal organs in them and he hoped that maybe he could use them against him somehow.
"Good idea, Ethan!" said Cammie encouragingly, as she and Benny continued to swat at the beetles flying around their heads.
"No! Don't!" yelled out Hottie in concern and worry at what Ethan has in his hands.
Ethan then started to shake the jar which appeared to be affecting Hottie in some way, as he leaned over slightly with his free hand on his chest as if he was in pain or something.
"Cool! It's like a voodoo doll in a jar!" exclaimed Benny impressively, as Ethan continued to shake the jar. The flying beetles had stopped buzzing around their heads while Ethan kept shaking the jar which caused Hottie to lose some of his focus on controlling the bugs because of the small bit of pain he felt from it. But the golden insects were still airborne, though. Just they were now flying around the room at random instead of around their heads.
"Sarah, please! You're breaking my heart." pleaded/stated Hottie desperately through the pain he felt from his innards being rattled inside a jar by Ethan. He was hunched over with his free hand, held over his abdomen. The flying beetles then vanished into thin air and the light from the staff that was keeping Sarah in place had suddenly lost it's power over her as it faded away, giving her full control over herself once again.
"I'd say, 'see you in the next life,' but that's not gonna happen." replied Sarah in resentment towards the mummy as she glared at him angrily. She then shoved Hottie into the sarcophagus and closed it immediately afterward as he fell in through the portal. Leaving both Ethan and Benny stunned by her action, whereas Cammie was basically cheering her on for standing up to the jerk.
"Yeah! You go, girl!" cheered Cammie from the sidelines, while standing next to the boys.
Once the sarcophagus was closed, Sarah turned around to face her friends while letting a sigh of relief that it was all over with now and not believing that she just did that, too.
"That was a harsh breakup." quipped Benny simply to her, while Ethan stood there next to him with his mouth gaped open in slight shock still from what just happened.
Cammie then came up to Sarah and hugged her. "Thank goodness you're ok, Sarah!" she said to her vampire friend. "Sorry that things didn't work out between you and Hottie, very well." apologized Cammie then with a sympathetic pout to go with it, after ending the hug.
"Yeah...thanks, Cammie." replied Sarah a little bit disappointedly, but then she perked right back up again with a smile. "But that's ok! I'll be fine." she said happily. "Now, come on! Let's get out of here before we get caught by security or something." suggested Sarah.
Ethan, Benny, and Cammie all agreed with that and the four of them all hurriedly exited the ancient Egypt section of the museum.
The next day at school, Rory came walking down the hallway looking rather upset and sad that Mr. Kitty had turned back into a non-living mummy, again. He gave the dead bandaged-up cat a little pet on it's neck/shoulder area before then letting out a depressed sigh. Just then Sarah and Ethan came walking up to him.
"Hey, Rory!" greeted Sarah happily with a friendly smile on her face. But her expression quickly changed once she saw what he was holding. "Is that your cat?!" she asked incredulously with concern and shock in her tone, as she pointed at the mummified cat in his arms.
"Yeah. He's not as playful as he used to be, but...I-I decided that it was for the best after he kept clawing my eyes out." answered Rory a bit glumly.
"Well, if it makes you feel any better. You deserve an 'A' in that class." complimented Ethan sincerely to his friend, as he wanted to lift Rory's spirits some.
"Really?!" replied Rory incredulously/skeptically in surprise as he quickly gave it some thought, before looking down at his mummified cat with his face all scrunched up in pride and accomplishment at the compliment. "Thanks!" he said to Ethan gratefully in a slightly gruff but also sincere and honored-like tone. "Let's go catch some birds, Mr. Cat!" he then said to his mummified cat eagerly with confidence and pride in his voice. He gave Ethan a quick friendly pat on the front part of his shoulder as thanks before then happily rushing off with his dead cat in hand.
Ethan turned and watched him leave with an unsure/curious expression on his face that said, 'o-kay...?' as if the blonde vampire was crazy or something.
"Hey...," then said Sarah softly to Ethan, gaining the seer's attention, now. "thanks, for helping me with my boy troubles. I can't even believe I almost fell for that guy." sincerely thanked Sarah while feeling a little bit embarrassed and stupid about the whole situation with Hottie. She regrets ever falling for that guy and his smooth-talking words, to begin with. Sometimes it really is true what they say, 'if it sounds or seems too good to be true, it probably is, then.' And in this case, Hottie was most definitely too good to be true when it came to the perfect guy.
"I can't really blame ya. That guy was a romantic superstar." admitted Ethan truthfully while being the nice guy that was and trying to make Sarah feel better. "So, I'm told." he then said jokingly at the end.
"If anyone's the romantic, it's you." replied Sarah earnestly in a sweet and gentle tone with a smile. Taking Ethan slightly by surprise with her endearing compliment.
"I guess...I have my moments." stated Ethan modestly, feeling somewhat honored and good about her compliment, as he smiled proudly at himself.
Sarah then released a small sigh of contentment before speaking, again. "As for me? I'm done with romance for a long time. It's way better to have friends." she then said to him earnestly.
"Yeah! Yeah...I couldn't agree more." replied Ethan a little disappointedly while also trying not to. Even though hearing that from her did sort of crush his hopes a little about scoring a possible date with her, now. But who knows?! Perhaps, someday soon she'll have changed her mind about dating, again? So, there's still that to hope for, for the young seer, at least.
A big smile then displayed itself upon Sarah's face. "See ya!" she then said to him happily, as she bid him a farewell for now before walking off past him down the hall.
Ethan turned and watched her go longingly with a slightly hurt and disappointed look on his face, as well. He then let out a disheartened sigh before pulling out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Guess I don't need this poem about how your eyes shine like lightsabers." he downheartedly said with a frown, as he ripped the paper in two before then walking off. Feeling a bit disappointed about another missed chance to court her into going on a date with him.
A/N: And that's it for this chapter/episode of MBAV Season 2 Tails Of Fun! :D
So, what did you all think?
Poor Ethan. In the end, he STILL doesn't get the girl. :( BUT! There's always next time, right?! Plus, its not like Sarah is swearing off men for good. Just...temporarily, is all. *giggles* ;P As soon as she finally notices that the right guy for her has been right under her nose ALL THIS TIME, that is! Lol! XD
What did you guys think about the little Cammie inserts here and there I placed in the episode? Yay? Nay? Or maybe, 'eh' instead? Lol! :P Well, I sure as hell loved them. *shrug* Lol! ;P
Anyway, that's all I've got to say for now. Until next time, I'll be seeing you all around! Bye! :D
