Everyone was washed and sat talking at breakfast.
Rick looked at Ardeth.
"Okay, so there's gotta be some reason you're here, Imhotep, Scorpion King, Anuk Su Namun?"
"Oh no, just a friendly visit!"
Rick raised an eyebrow.
"Well no, I slight problem"
"Erm, Yes?"
"Imhotep's been raised and is threatening the world"
"Again"
"Yes, Again"
"Brilliant" muttered Rick sarcastically.
(1 week later on the boat down the Nile)
Elizabeth and Alex were in the bedroom they had to share.
"Hey Elizabeth, what do you think of Anushkah?"
Elizabeth shrugged.
"I don't think she's that sweet"
Elizabeth tilted her head a bit.
"I mean she knocked over a vase, and got me in trouble for it!"
"Uh huh" mumbled Elizabeth, picking up her guitar and messing about on the strings.
"AND! She messed up my room big time! And sabotaged my cereal, don't ask me how!"
Elizabeth played a tune to herself.
Alex turned around.
"Are you even listening to me?"
Elizabeth looked up.
"Did you speak to me?"
Alex rolled his eyes, Elizabeth laughed.
"I was listening to you! Now if you don't mind, I'm concentrating!"
Alex slumped on the bed and watched his sister play and sing to herself.
"You know, when we get to Cairo, in least I can avoid her.
At midnight most people were asleep, but Rick sat playing cards up on deck with Jon and an old school friend.
Ardeth came up on deck.
"Well, I gotta message from Evy"
"Really…?" mumbled Rick, examining his cards.
"Yes she said to come down there…"
"And?"
"And if you don't you'll be grounded"
Rick looked up in bewilderment.
Jon laughed,
"She sure keeps you under control!"
Rick looked at him.
"Ha-ha, very funny" He sneered sarcastically "Ardeth, Are you sure that message was for me?"
"Well, who else could it be for?"
Rick sighed, "Maybe one of the children, who can get grounded, and do…a lot"
"Ah! That would make more sense! Oh, yes she did say something about your daughter, I'll go find her!"
"Yes, knock yourself out" Rick sighed sarcastically
Ardeth looked confused
"Why do you wish me to hurt myself?"
Rick gritted his teeth.
"It's like walking into a brick wall with you! I'll find her"
Rick found Elizabeth by the side of the boat looking out at the water, twiddling a tune on her guitar.
"C'mon kiddo, we better get you to bed or one of us will be grounded!" grinned Rick.
"One of us?" said Lizzie, raising an eyebrow.
"Don't ask, what are you doing out here at this time anyway?"
"'Cos I can't sleep, there something strange down there, something…erm…"
"Evil out to kill us all!"
"Yeah, that"
Rick stared curiously at his daughter
"I was joking"
Lizzie looked alarmed
"Yeah, so was I…" She said nervously.
Rick looked at his daughter, and sighed.
Slowly the boat sailed on to its destination.
