I ran out dodging the stalagmites and dove. I grabbed Ardeth's wrists. Meela did the same to Imhotep. I helped Ardeth out of the crevice and Meela helped Imhotep. We all ran out of the chamber, and closed the door.

Ardeth: Alexa . . . h-how are you alive?

Alexa: Meela brought me back to life. She's been having issues with Anck-su-namun's soul. I've known her for a long, long time. That's' why we were so happy to see each other. Then Anck-su-namun took over. But she' s fine now. We both are.

Meela: (whispering) Should we tell them about us being immortal?

Alexa: (whispers back) Yes.

Meela: Ardeth . . . When I . .uh . . brought Alexa back to life . . . there was only one spell I found . . that could bring her back to life. But at a terrible price.

Ardeth: What is the price?

Meela: She is immortal.

Ardeth: What?

Alexa: And the same is with Meela, Imhotep. I am sorry.

Imhotep: But . . Wasn't there something more to it than that?

Alexa: Well, yes. Meela and I can choose one person . . . we have to kiss one person that we want to be with for all eternity.

Meela: What do you say Imhotep?

He smiled and kissed her. Ardeth smiled at me.

Ardeth: I can live with that.

Meela: You know . . . this place, this oasis, is beautiful . . . what if we just lived here . . . together?

Alexa: Yeah! That would be wonderful! The pigmy mummies obey to me. Maybe we could make them our official guards. Kill any body that tries to rob us of our oasis . . . lead any family or friends that wants to visit.

Meela: That would be so cool!

We walked out of the pyramid and gazed upon our new territory.

Evy: Oh my god, Alexa!

I turned around to see Evy, Alex, Rick, Jonathan, and Izzy. They also saw Meela and Imhotep.

Rick: Why are they still alive?

Alexa: Rick! Meela is my friend! She was my best friend in childhood growing up with my aunt and uncle. Imhotep is really cool. He's really nice once you get to meet him.

Jonathan: Ah well, come on then! Let's go home!

Alexa: I'm sorry. But this is my home. Meela, Imhotep, Ardeth and I will all live here . . . you can too . . if you want.

Rick: Thanks . . . but we've got a million dollar home in London. (smile)

I floated up to the balloon. I hugged Alex, then Evy.

Evy: I'm going to miss you.

Alexa: You can visit us anytime you want . . .

Rick: What about those pigmy things . . . .?

Alexa: I'll take care of it.

I floated over to Rick. He hugged me and kissed the top of my head.

Rick: I'll miss you too.

I hugged Izzy, then I floated over to Jonathan. He embraced me.

Jonathan: My dear sweet baby sister. I don't know what I would do without you . . .

Alexa: I'll offer you another opportunity to live with us.

Jonathan: Y-you really wouldn't mind?

He looked at Meela and Imhotep. They both smiled and shook their heads no. Ardeth smiled shaking his head no too. He turned and looked at Evy and Rick

Evy: Go live with them if you want . . . just remember. . there are no girls out here in the desert . . .

Jonathan: What! No girls? I'm sorry Alexa I love you. . but I don't to be alone forever! (smile)

I smiled and laughed . . . typical Jonathan. I floated down to the ground as Ardeth put his arms around me. We all waved . . . even Meela and Imhotep. I watched them wave at me back.

Alexa: We'll send Horus to you soon!

Rick: Alright!

Izzy pushed down the lever and they took off. I looked at the ground. " Man, I'm going to miss them. " Ardeth lifted up my chin and brushed the hair out of my face.

Ardeth: I thought I had lost you today.

Alexa: You had . . . but I stayed with you the whole time. (smile)

Ardeth: The whole time?

Alexa: Well, almost . . . (grin)

Meela: So . . . what are we having for supper?

Alexa: (grin) Well, whatever floats your boat . . . . floats mine. (smile)

I looked at Ardeth . . . he just laughed.

I don't know what we are going to do in our time of immortality . . . but what I do know, is that we have all the time in the world.

But then again . . . . . . . . . . forever may not be long enough . . . .
