Hey guys,

Three things:

One: THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS! I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU ALL A HUG! I RAN TO MY ROOM AND STARTED CRYING (of happiness) BECAUSE OF YOUR COMMENTS…. And because one of my favourite fanfics were updated but still!

Two: I am super sorry for not updating but I wasn't sure what exactly to do with this chapter but I think it's time for NATM II to kick in!

Three: School has started so I will most likely update on Tuesdays to Thursdays… whenever.

Enjoy and remember the Disclaimer!

"Dad can you pick me up before you go to the museum?"

"Sure Jess."

I smiled and hung up. It had been MONTHS since we last went to the museum and tonight we would go, thank god!

It was around 3 when Larry picked me up from school and his driver dropped us off at the museum.

"What's in the bag Larry?"

"A toy for Rexy…" I smiled.

When we reached the top of the stairs, we noticed two men walk out the of museum wearing some type of uniform. Then there was a sign saying Closed for Renovations.

"I'll stay outside till everyone is gone…" I didn't want to run into Dr McPhee… he never really liked me much.

"Ok, I'll open the door for you."

It was about 7 minutes before Dr McPhee came outside.

"Jessica…" He squinted his eyes at me dangerously.

"Dr McPhee…" See what I mean?

Larry opened the door soon after and I almost crumbled to the floor. In front of me was quite a few shipping crates and my museum family emerging from the crates.

"What the hell?" I exclaimed.

"Change, Dr McPhee tells me. Apparently, he is replacing the old exhibits with new interactive crap."

"What… what is happening to these guys though? As they going to be stored in the back?" I asked hopefully.

"Uh… no. They are going into storage…"

"In the back?"

"No, the Smithsonian…" I gasped and stumbled a little.

"No, no he can't-"

"He already has. Don't say anything to these guys yet because I may be able to talk to the board…" He whispered cautiously so the other won't hear him.

"Ok, I'll go and see Ahk… is he going?"

"I don't know. Can you ask him?"

"Yeah… I will." I smiled weakly at him and walked off to Ahkmenrah who was talking to Teddy and Sacagawea.

"I heard." Was all I could say, and they just looked at me with sorrow swimming in their eyes.

They nodded and I walked with them down the hall towards Ahkmenrah's exhibit.

"So, you are all going?" They exchanged glances.

"Actually Jessica… Myself, Ahkmenrah, Rexy and a few other signature exhibits will be staying." A spark of hope was starting to burn inside of me.

"So… Sacagawea, you will be staying! You, Lewis and Clark are signature exhibits!"

"Unfortunately, we didn't make the cut. They are shipping myself and the two explorers off as well."

"Well, what about Dexter, the Miniatures, our family?" I was choking on my own tears trying to hide them. They remained still.

I let myself go and I started crying and stumbling. Ahkmenrah helped me sit down in front of a glass case with some priceless jewellery.

"N-No, they are tearing our family apart…" I didn't notice all of them sat next to me crying as well.

"I'm sorry we weren't there…" I whispered after stopping the tears pouring from my eyes.

They nodded as though they were accepting my apology.

We spent most of the night just sitting together. Teddy and Sacagawea on horse back while Ahkmenrah lay his head on my lap as I played with his hair. Sacagawea took one of her hairbands out and braided my hair with it. I felt it with my hands and felt a few warm tears streak down my face.

"Thank you so much." I whispered and she nodded. She leaned down and kissed my cheek and hugged me while I rubbed my free hand along her arm. Teddy was next to Sacagawea with a hand on her shoulder. We were all smiling a little. I ran my hand through my hair and smiled a little at how well this braid was compared to the rest of the other braids Sacagawea had done before. I would try hard to not take it out, but I could always take the tablet from Ahk for one night and sneak into the Smithsonian... ok I couldn't but I wasn't going to give up hope.

We met the miniatures outside of their crate and watched Jed as he sat by himself, Octavius looked worried.

"He hasn't been so down since you and Larry left... why did this all have to happen?" The Roman never ceased to amaze me with how big his thoughts were and yet he expected only one sentence answers.

"It's fate Ockie, Change as they say now days. I guess that's why I always liked coming here and hanging out with you guys. You never wanted things to change."

Octavius nodded and motioned to the crate.

"Sunrise is upon us, it is the last time we shall see it. Come men, we have a long journey a head." Octavius nodded as Teddy, AHk, Sacagawea and myself helped the mini Romans into their crate.

After they were in, Jed was still as he gave me a fleeting smile and jumped into the wooden crate. I sighed as Ahk and I hugged Sacagawea and let Teddy and her have some time to say their farewells. I watched as my insides started to burn. I needed these guys more than anything. I wished I could just take the whole museum to the Smithsonian and just spend the whole night with them... it wasn't fate though.

"We'll, we still have each other… I guess." I nodded, acknowledging that he was trying to make me feel better.
