In Mums' room, Ashley watched the mummy dusting and spraying the walls and corners with a can of Jiffy Web, shooting cobwebs almost everywhere.

"Mums, don't you think you're overreacting?" Ashley asked.

Mums stopped, he slowly turned to her. Ashley felt a little uncomfortable.

"Overreacting...?" he started out slowly. "OVERREACTING?!" he shouted. "This is my mother we're talking about!"

"I know, but you don't need to go haunt wild! The place is spooky enough as it is!" Ashley replied.

"But it can be spookier!" snapped Mums, he went back to spraying more webs.

Ashley seemed rather uncertain. She went up and snatched the can from his hand. "Come on, Mums, there's more to this than just your mom dropping in. What gives?"

Hesistant, Mums sighed and plopped into his wooden box. "Ashley, my mummy isn't the only mummy coming..."

He handed her this morning's newspaper. Ashley read it:

Charterville Museum's ancient Egypt exhibit will present it's latest addition, the mummified body of King Khfulun. For 5,000 years, Khfulun, warrior, pharoh, and ruler of the ancient world laid buried in the valley of the kings and will be showcased at the exhibit tomorrow.

Ashley looked at him, concerned. "I'm afraid to ask this, but who's K-Khfu-Khfulun?" she sounded out the name.

Mums narrowed his eye. "Khfulun was a jealous high priest who mummified me alive after I was caught kissing Cleopatra in public."

"What?! Why would you do that?!"

"Because many years ago, I was a prince in Egypt."

Ashley gaped at him, too startled too speak.

Mums, Hillhurst's resident Crabby McLoudmouth, was Egyptian royalty?!

Mums started to shake. "And now, after all these years, Khfulun is back. And he's definately going to reek his vengeance on me..."

"Now just a minute," Ashley said. "he mummified you alive, how can he make things worse on you? Besides, what are the chances he's even a living mummy like you? What if he's still dead?"

"I'm not taking any chances!" Mums replied. "So I'm gonna hide myself until this all blows over!"

"But you can't hide! What about your mummy? I mean, your mother?"

"Tell her I'm sick! Have a dentist appointment! Wash my hair! Anything! Just tell her I'm not here!" he slammed the lid on his box.

Ashley sighed, Mums was stubborn as always. Although, she can't blame him. She decided to give him some time to think.

Ashley and all the monsters were sound asleep, but Mums was the least sound. He groaned as he tossed and turned. A vision of Khfulun entered his mind.

"This will keep you from kissing the woman I love!" Khfulun cackled as he wrapped Mums' flailing body. "You shall forever be entombed in this crypt!" He chanted a strange incantation.

Then everything went black.

Mums woke up, banging his head against the lid. He growled, holding his pounding head.

"That's it," he said. "I've gotta get far away from here."
