It was during the lunch hour on a perfectly sunny April day when Dr. Alan McPhee of the Museum of Natural History asked for Larry Daley and Rebecca Hutman. Larry Daley was the night guard and Rebecca Hutman was a docent. They were also friends. They also knew of the museum's biggest secret. Every exhibit comes to life at night with the help of an Egyptian Pharaoh's tablet. Larry met up with Rebecca at the front desk and they went to McPhee's office. Larry knocked and they were called in.
"You asked to see us Dr. McPhee?" Larry asked as he and Rebecca sat down in front of McPhee.
"I called you both in here to announce that 2 exhibits from the Smithsonian are being transferred here."
"That's great news sir." Rebecca said excitedly. Inside she was thinking wildly about bringing her sister to meet the exhibits.
"Do you know what exhibits they are?" Larry asked curiously. He was hoping that maybe Able the space monkey and the bronze Teddy Roosevelt would be transferred.
"Amelia Earheart and Al Capone. With the Amelia exhibit will be a mini-version of the old plane her family called Bessie. With the Al Capone exhibit will be his most prized Cadillac, which will also be a mini version." Larry was shocked. Rebecca was ecstatic.
"That's wonderful Dr. McPhee!"
"When are they arriving?"
"In a few days. These are the areas the exhibits will be in and information about them." McPhee said as he handed Larry and Rebecca folders. He escorted them out then shut the door. Rebecca went back to work as Larry went to his office. He didn't know what he was going to say to the others. He needed Rebecca's help. He called her from the office on the phone and asked her to stay the night at the museum. He waited anxiously for night to come. When it did he changed into his uniform and went to check on the exhibits. He met up with Rebecca at the front desk who was accompanied by a young woman who looked like her and a Hawaiian woman.
"Hey 'Becca. Who's this?"
"This is my sister Taylor and her best friend Kalena. I told Taylor she could stay with me."
"You know what this means though."
"I know. Girls. We need you to swear an oath."
Taylor's {me} P.O.V
"Really? What is it?" I asked curiously.
"That you will not tell anyone about tonight." Larry said.
"Why would we?" Just after Kalena said that we both heard deep breathing right by our ears.
"What was that?" I asked scared shitless. No one said anything so Kalena and I turned around to see the t-Rex skeleton looking at us. Both Kalena and I screamed and ran off in different directions. After a good 5 minutes I stopped and realized I was in the diorama room. I sat on the bench and saw Kalena come in from the other side. She sat down beside me and we both tried to catch our breath. As we held our heads down we hard small shouting. We looked around then saw 2 small men looking up at us. We both gasped as the men asked to be picked up. Kalena picked up the cowboy while I picked up the Roman. "Who are you two?" I asked curiously.
"Name's Jedidiah ma'am."
"And I am Octavius my ladies."
"Who are you two freaks?"
"We are not freaks!!!" Both Kalena and I yelled.
"Then would you kindly introduce yourselves?"
"That's better. I'm Taylor Hutman, Rebecca's sister. This is my best friend Kalena Asher."
"Well hello Miss Gigantresses!"
"We insist you call us Taye and Kaye."
"If that's fine with you two then we will."
"There you two are! We were worried!"
"Hey Becs." I said as Rebecca came over to us.
"Could you bring those two? Larry and I have an announcement to make."
"Sure." Kalena and I got up and followed my sister down to the lobby. There was everything from animals to civil war men to Sacajawea to Theodore Roosevelt. Larry and Rebecca were waiting for us on the balcony. We went over to them and stood on either side of them.
"Everyone! Larry and I would like to make an announcement."
"The museum bought 2 exhibits from the Smithsonian who will be arriving in 2 days. 'Becca. Tell them who."
"We are getting Amelia Earheart and Al Capone. With the Amelia exhibit will be a mini-version of the old plane her family called Bessie. With the Al Capone exhibit will be his most prized Cadillac, which will also be a mini version." I heard Jed whoop from my pocket. I silently laughed as did Kalena. I felt something pounce on my head before looking over to Larry. I quietly moaned in pain at the pain in my head. I then saw a Capuchian monkey hit Larry.
"I know Dexter. I'm not happy about Capone being here either. You know what we have to do people. Let's all clean up!" I raised an eyebrow in my sister's direction and she came over.
"When some big event like this happens Larry has all the exhibits clean the whole museum."
"Oh. Can we help?"
"Sure. You and Kalena can clean the spare rooms for Amelia and Capone." Kalena and I walked off in the direction that Rebecca pointed out. After 5 minutes we reached the spare rooms. Across from it was the Egyptian elm. I noticed Kalena look over in that direction several times as we cleaned. By the time I was done I noticed that Kalena wasn't in the room. I chuckled silently and went in the Egyptian elm. I saw Kalena talking to a bronzed man who looked at least 19. I shook my head laughing as Kalena looked at me. It was now almost sunrise and all the exhibits were going back to theirs areas. As was the bronzed man. I watched as he turned back to Kalena and kissed her cheek. She blushed and walked over to me.
"Someone has a crush." I said singing.
"Oh shut up." We both laughed then headed down to the lobby where Larry and Rebecca were waiting for us.
"It was nice to meet you Kalena and Taylor."
"It was nice to meet you Teddy." Kalena and I both said together. We laughed as Teddy posed.
"You girls ready to go?"
"Yeah. Can we come back tomorrow?"
"Sure." We all left as the museum staff came in. Once Kalena and I were in my room at Becca's home we conked out. We practically slept the whole day away. As well as into the night. We were that tired from cleaning. I jolted awake from a nightmare around 8 the next morning. Kalena was already awake brushing her hair out.
"Hey. Have a nightmare?"
"Yeah. I thought I was over the nightmares."
"Guess not." Rebecca then came in to check on us.
"Finally you're awake. Breakfast is ready."
" 'Kay. We'll be right there." I got up and went to the bathroom as Kalena changed. I shut my eyes for a moment but regretted it. An image of me lying in a pool of blood showed. I jolted my eyes open and realized that something was different. I leaned towards the mirror and saw that my left eye had a tint of green in it. I gasped then did my morning business. I went back in my room and saw that 'Becca had laid out one her shirts for me. It was my favorite that I tended to 'borrow' from her. I took out my bluish/greenish jeans and put it down so I could change into fresh underwear. Once I was done changing I brushed my hair out and put it into a messy bun. I left my room and went to the kitchen where 'Becca was making breakfast.
"Why didn't you say you were having your nightmares again?"
"This was the first in 5 years."
"You two coming tonight to welcome the Amelia and Capone?"
"Of course. Wouldn't miss it for the world."
