Disclaimer: Alex and other Mummy characters don't belong to me. I just
realized someone else has Alex falling in love with a girl named Emily in
their story too. I did not know when I started. Sorry! This Emily is my
own character.
THE NEXT DAY
Emily woke up in the morning very tried. She had almost forgotten what traveling did to her. It made her more tired than normal. She remembered the people she had met yesterday, her dad's friends. They were very nice. They had talked last night for hours. At least her and Alex did. They had so much in common. They both had chased mummies, though Alex had more narrow escapes, and they both knew how to fight well, and read ancient Egyptian. Emily actually liked him.
"I wonder what he's doing this morning?" Emily wondered to herself.
All of a sudden there was a knock at her door. She went over to it and opened it. There, standing outside, was Alex. Emily suddenly realized he looked like an angel from heaven with the sun streaming behind him like that.
"That's strange," thought Emily to herself, "I've never felt like that before…"
"Hi, Emily. I was just wondering what you were going to do today," said Alex.
"That's funny, I was going to ask you the same thing."
"Really?" He sounded hopeful. "I, mean really?" Now he sounded normal. "Oh, hey did I catch you at a bad time? Did you just get up? Oh my god, did I wake you up??"
"Alex, relax! Just breathe. You didn't catch me at a bad time, I did just get up, and I don't mind you seeing me in my nightdress. Relax."
"Sorry, I would just hate to seem so rude waking someone up."
Alex and Emily talked a little more and then Emily decided she should get dressed.
"I'll just wait outside," said Alex.
"Good idea," said Emily.
When she was done, they went down to breakfast and met up with their parents and Alex's little sister. While eating breakfast they discussed their travel plans. It turned out that they were going to the same place.
"We've heard of Ardeth Bay before, we've just never actually met him," explained John.
"You'll have to meet him," said Rick. "He's the coolest guy around."
The two families decided just to travel together next. When they got off the boat a few hours later, they went into the small town nearby to rent some traveling devices.
"Oh, no, not camels again!" complained Alex and Emily at the same time. That was another thing they shared, camel loathing.
"I think they're cute," said Evy. Rick rolled his eyes.
"Ok, we could only get four camels, so who's sharing?" asked Rick.
"Well, I'm riding with Carly," said Evy.
"Well I don't want to ride with Rick so I'll ride alone," said John.
"Well then I'll go by myself too," said Rick.
"Well, that leaves you and me, Emily," said Alex.
"So, the two that hate camels the most have to share one?" asked Emily.
"That's what you get," said Evy. "Just think of it as time to get to know one another better."
"Well, let's get going," said John.
And they set off across the desert to the Med-jai camp. A few hours later, they had made good time so they decided to rest awhile. They stopped the camels and had some water and dinner, and sat down (or stood) for a few minutes. Then they packed back up, and started off. A few minutes later, though, Alex and Emily had to stop because their packing on the camel was coming off.
"Go on, we'll catch up!" Alex told the others. So they went on. All of a sudden (and a peachy keen time for this to happen) one of the deserts famous sandstorms blew up on them. Alex and Emily put their hoods up and waited it out. It only lasted a few seconds but when it ended they noticed that…
"The tracks are gone!" Emily exclaimed. (Uh oh)
