Chapter Eight is finally posted! I'm sorry that I took forever to post this. School started (I'm finally in high school!), my birthday was on the eighteenth, I've been having a lot of homework, there were football games, and a whole lot of other things have been having. So, without further ado, here's chapter eight!

Chapter Eight

"Wait, are you serious?" I asked Amelia.

"Why of course I am."

"But why would the boss want to go back with you?" Paul asked, butting in.

"Why wouldn't he?" I shot back.

"Why wouldn't he what?" Al asked, coming up behind me with Uncle Larry beside him.

"It's nothing; Paul is just being dense in a way," I said, as Al wrapped his arms around my waist.

"How is he being dense?"

"He doesn't understand what Amelia and I were talking about."

"And what were you two talking about?"

"You ask a lot of questions, don't you?"

"Amelia, um, let's go see how everybody else is doing," Uncle Larry said, leading her away. "Do the rest of you want to come?"

"Nyet, we'll go see our men," Ivan the Terrible said, walking towards the Streltsy. Napoleon went towards his soldiers and Paul just stayed near us while Uncle Larry and Amelia went to go see our friends.

"Paul, go check up on the boys," Al said.

"You got it, boss," and he walked towards the other gangsters. I turned around to face Al and he kissed my forehead.

"So, what did you and Uncle Larry talk about?" I asked him.

"You ask a lot of question, don't you?" Al said, smirking at me.

"Yes, I do," I said, rolling my eyes at him. "So, what did you two talk about?"

"He asked me if I wanted to go back to New York with you."

"And what did you say?"

"I told him I would have to think about it," he answered simply and I could feel my heart sink.

"Oh," I said, looking down at the floor.

"Unless," he said, "you want me to come and then I wouldn't have to think about it."

"Yeah," I said, softly.

"What?" he asked.

"Yeah, I do want you to come back to New York with me," I said, looking up at him.

"You sure?"

"Of course I am." He leaned down, about to kiss me, when we were interrupted.

"Charlotte, we need to leave; we only have an hour before sunrise," Uncle Larry said.

"Okay, we're coming."

"You're coming?" He asked Capone.

"Yeah," he said nodding his head.

"Cool," Uncle Larry said, looking around awkwardly.

"Why don't you ask Amelia if she can fly us back home?"

"Good idea and he walked off to go find her. I got out of Capone's arms and started to walk away.

"Where are you going?" He asked, following me.

"To get my purse," I answered, walking over to my corner. I picked up my purse started to go back to my friends. Al walked beside me and put an arm around my waist. When we got to them, Uncle Larry was setting everybody up into the buddy system.

"And Charlotte will be with Al Capone," he said and they looked at him and me. They didn't say anything, but Sacagawea gave a small smile at us. "But there's something I have to do first." He walked over to the giant squid. He got it to follow him outside and I followed them with Al following me. He led it out to the water by the Washington Memorial and the squid jumped in; it seemed happy to be in the water. "Feels good, right? You're welcome! Just get back inside by sunrise, okay?" Amelia brought her plane outside and we piled in with her flying and Uncle Larry next to her. The rest of us got into the back of the plane and sat down.

"So, Charlotte, what exactly happened when you hurt yourself?" Jed asked me.

"I fell," I replied.

"When she was trying to escape," Al put in.

"I wasn't trying to escape. I was simply going to the Air and Space Museum."

"You were going in the wrong direction."

"I was taking the long way," I argued.

"Sure you were," he said, sitting next to me as I sat down.

"I was," I said. He just smirked at me and pulled me close to him.

"Whatever you say."

The plane landed outside the museum and everybody piled outside.

"Remember, stay with your buddy," Uncle Larry said as he got out of the plane. "Here, head on downstairs, guys."

"Yes sir, Uncle Larry," I said, walking towards the museum with Capone in tow. "Come on, I want you to meet some people."

"Charlotte, you're back! Thank you and Lawrence for bringing them back," Teddy said, walking towards me.

"You're welcome," I said. "This is Al Capone. Al, this is Teddy."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Capone. How did you meet Charlotte?"

"It's a pretty eventful story not meant to be told tonight, but perhaps tomorrow," I answered for him.

"Okay, Charlotte," Teddy said, walking away to Sacagawea.

"Oh, there's one more person I want you to meet," I said, looking for a certain Egyptian. "Ahkmenrah!"

"Charlotte, you're back! Where's Larry?"

"Probably outside with Amelia, but I need to talk to you. Al, go find Teddy."

"Why?" he asked.

"Because I need to talk to him privately," I answered."Please?"

"Fine," he said, walking away.

"I'm guessing you want him to become human," Ahk said.

"How did you know?"

"I can see the way he looks at you and how you look at him."

"So can you make him human?"

"He'll become one if you two feel the same way about each other and I believe he will become a human before the sun rises."

"Oh, thank you so much!" I said, walking towards Al; an extra skip in my step.

"You're welcome," Ahk called after me.

"Al," I called.

"Yeah," he said, walking towards me.

"I love you," and I kissed him.

"I love you, too."

I'm sorry for the shortness and I think it's not a very good chapter. I felt like I had to post something for this story and this is what the outcome is. So please review it anyway. (:
