A/N: Okay, I actually forgot about this fanfiction. Whoops! Oh, well. Let's begin!

P.S. I don't own anything but this idea and my three OCs. Also, Dexter is here just because I forgot him. DX I felt so bad, so I just put him in the chapter.

P.P.S. I looked up some of the facts that are later on.


Joseph's POV

"Woohoo!" I yelled as we ran through the halls of the museum. I loved every minute of the ride that I forgot to search for my sister and brother.

"Faster, Rexy!"

Jed stuck his head out of the window and yelled something. "WHAT?!" I yelled back. All of a sudden, Rexy stopped, and I fell off, landing next to the car. My arm seriously hurt.

"Oww..." I said, rubbing it.

"Ah said, ain't y'all s'posed tah be lookin' fer yer sister and yer brother?" Jed asked as he stopped the car.

"You know that's why we had you ride Rexy," Octavius said. "This isn't for fun."

"Uh... I might have...forgotten, you know, in his awesomeness." I bit my bottom lip in embarrassment.

Octavius shook his head. "Oh, gods, you're just as bad as Jedediah," he said.

"Hey, Ah heard that, yah know!" Jed yelled at him.

"Jed, I'm right next to you," Octavius said, covering his left ear. "You didn't have to yell."

"Yeah Ah did," Jed argued. "It's tah get it in that there Roman head o' yers that Ah ain't deaf! Y'all know Ah heard yah loud an' clear."

"Jed, I don't have time for this!"

"Umm...guys?" I asked.

"No' now, Mini-Gigantor," Jed said. "We're in th' middle of an argument 'ere."

As they continued to fight, I climbed back on top of Rexy as he chewed the bone. I was wondering when they would stop fighting.


Joshua's POV

Ahk and Attila were talking in their language, whatever it was. I kind of stayed behind, walking slowly. I was still scared of Attila, though I told myself he was there to help us look for Jolene and Joseph. I didn't see them, and I was starting to get worried.

"Hurry up, Josh!" Ahk called to me. I sped up a bit, then slowed down. "Come on, Joshua," he said. I sped towards him, and stayed close as if he were my older brother. I'd like an older brother, actually. I think that would be nice because he could protect me from scary things, like big, Asian warriors.

We continued our search, when one of the Huns ran towards us, speaking in that confusing language. Ahk spoke to them. It sounded like he was surprised and asking a question. The hun said something while he nodded.

Ahk turned to me and said, "Josh, (Hun name) just found a boy who isn't a museum figure riding Rexy near two of our miniature figurines. It could be your brother!" As he said that, I began smiling. They found someone I knew!

Joseph's POV

I sat there, bored. I was starting to fall asleep. I was getting tired of Jed and Octavius' fighting. It must have lasted for an hour or something until I heard a noise. I looked up and saw a boy with a pharaoh guy and an Asian army. As they got closer, the boy turned out to be Joshua.

"Josh?" I asked, surprised. He nodded and smiled. "Oh my gosh! Where's Jolene?" I jumped off of Rexy and looked around for her. She wasn't nearby. When I looked at Joshua, he just shrugged.

The pharaoh guy stepped up and held out his hand. "Hello," he said. "You must be Joseph, Josh's brother." I shook his hand.

"Yeah, that's true," I told him. "Who are you?"

He smiled. "I am Ahkmenrah, fourth king of the fourth king, ruler of the land of my father's." He looked over at Jed and Octavius, who were still fighting. "I assume my friends Jedediah and Octavius told you about my tablet?"

I nodded. "Yeah, it's pretty cool how it makes everything alive. If I'd known that before my family came, I'd love to come here! Why don't you guys come alive during the day? That'd be awesome!"

He frowned. "My tablet does not do that for some reason," he said. "It only works at night. I do not know why."

I frowned. "That sucks!" I exclaimed. "Can't you just, like, tell it to make you guys alive during the days? I mean, it's your tablet!"

"Some things are easier to do than others," he answered. "That is not one of them."

"Dang!" I said.

Ahkmenguy walked over to the small car, knelt down, and knocked on the roof of the car. They stopped fighting and looked out the window.

"Well, howdy there, Ahk!" Jed said.

"Pleasure to see you, King Ahkmenrah," Octavius said.

"Same to you two as well," Ahk said to them. "I believe you were helping Josh's brother here, Joseph, look for his siblings?" They nodded and looked out the window.

"And it looks like yah found one of 'em! Hoo-whee!" Jed yelled.

"That's one down, and one to go," Octavius said after him. "Who are we looking for now?"

"Jolene, my sister," I replied.

Ahk nodded. "With more eyes in the group," he motioned to all of us, including the Asian dudes, "we'll be able to find her easily. Let's stay together, to avoid the risk of losing each other. Are there any questions?"

I raised my hand. "Yes, Joseph?" he said, pointing to me.

"Okay, so I just realized this: why are you wearing a dress?"

Josh smiled at what I said, and Jed and Octavius were laughing really hard. I saw Ahk turning a bit red in his face.

"It's not a dress," he muttered. "It's a tunic."


Jolene's POV

Sacajawea lead us throughout the entire museum looking for my brothers, and I could tell she was having trouble. "Need help?" I asked her.

"Lots," she replied. "Without any tracks, I can't tell where your brothers went."

We continued our search, until we ended up back at the entrance of the museum. "It's no telling where your brothers may be," Sacajawea told us sadly. "I'm afraid I can't help you."

"Don't worry, dear," Teddy said softly to her. "At least you tried. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. You did your best, but I guess we'll have to think of something else to find those boys."

At that moment, I saw a man in a uniform unlocking the front doors of the museum and enter. When he saw Teddy and Sacajawea, he walked over to them and said, "Hey, sorry I'm late, guys. I had to drive Nicky to the hospital after a hockey accident, and it turns out he broke his leg."

"Not a problem, Lawrence!" Teddy answered cheerfully. "We found a way to keep ourselves busy for the time being."

The man, who I assumed is Larry from what the twenty-sixth president told me earlier, nodded and replied, "Yeah, that's good." As he did, he glanced at me for a second, then did a double take. I smiled sheepishly and waved shyly. He must have realized I wasn't a museum exhibit, because he asked, "Uh, Teddy? Sacajawea? Who's this?"

Teddy beamed. "Why, this wonderful young lady here is our friend Jolene!" Wait, he just called me his friend? Ha! Take that, Joseph! I thought. I do too have friends! And it's not just anyone, it's the president and a Native American guide and translator who is also a tracker for some reason!

Larry turned to me and said worriedly, "Yeah, um, you do know that you're not allowed to be here during this time, right?" He checked his watch, then said, "It's already 1:47 right now."

"Well, it's not my fault," I told him. "My stupid brother Joseph ran inside when I was supposed to be bringing my two brothers back to the hotel. Then, Joshua and I ran back inside to get him, but then we were separated from each other. And I found out the museum comes to life while looking for them."

Larry smiled. "Pretty cool, huh?" he asked me.

"Yeah, it's really amazing," I answered, smiling back.

He walked over to the Information Desk at the giant globe, picked up the phone, and asked, "What are the names of your brothers?"

"Joshua and Joseph," I replied. "But if you're going to call them, Mom and Dad didn't give them cell phones yet."

He shook his head. "That's not what I'm gonna do." He placed the mouthpiece near his mouth and said, "Would Joshua and Joseph please come to the front? Your sister is waiting." As he spoke, his voice resonated over the intercom in the museum. He placed it back on the receiver. "That should get them to come," he said.


Joshua's POV

We were walking in silence as we looked for Jolene. The scary dinosaur skeleton went somewhere else with its giant bone, so the cowboy and the Roman, who had really hard names to remember, rode in Joseph's shirt pocket. They kind of reminded me of the movie The Indian In the Cupboard. It was really good, though Jolene says it's smarter to read the book instead. I haven't read it yet.

We were all walking when a loud voice said, "Would Joshua and Joseph please come to the front? Your sister is waiting."

"Did you hear that?" Joseph asked me excitedly. I nodded to answer, and I was pretty excited, too. Jolene is at the front!

"Larry must be with her. I can take you two to the front right now," Ahk told us. He turned to the Huns, I think they were called, said something to them, and they nodded their heads and left.

"What'd you tell 'em?" Joseph asked.

Ahk smiled and answered, "I thanked them for their help and that we could take it from here.

"Now let's get you two to the front."

He started speed-walking, and we had to sort of run to catch up with him. About a minute or so later, we saw Jolene with a guy in a uniform, a guy who was that president Jolene was talking about when we first entered the museum, and the Indian girl who was with Louis and Clark.

When we were pretty close, Jolene ran up to us and hugged us both.

"Can't...breathe..." the cowboy said as he was squished in the pocket.

"Please...get...off..." the Roman said.

Jolene immediately stopped hugging us and said, "Oh, sorry." She looked at the shirt pocket where the cowboy and the Roman were catching their breaths. She raised an eyebrow. "Got some figurines in there?" she asked. Joseph nodded.

"I am General Octavius," the Roman said, looking up to her.

"An' Ah'm Jedediah Smith," the cowboy said after him, tilting his cowboy hat a bit.

Jolene smiled. "General Gaius Octavius," she said. "Father of the Emperor Augustus, step-grandfather of the Emperor Tiberius, great-grandfather of the Emperor Claudius, great-great grandfather of the Emperor Caligula, and great-great-great grandfather of the Emperor Nero. Elected as quaestor in around 70 BC, and elected praeter in 61 BC. There's also more I know."

"Wow, you really know your history," Octavius said, then turned away in what was probably embarrassment. "I didn't even know that about myself," he muttered softly.

"Jedediah Smith," Jolene continued, "also known as Jedediah Strong Smith. Hunter, trapper, fur trader, trailblazer, author, cartographer, and explorer of the Rocky Mountains, American West Coast, and Southwest during the time of the 19th century. You're also the first white man ever to travel over the land from the Salt Lake Frontier, the Colorado River, the Mojave Desert, and into California. There's also a lot more I know about you as well."

Jed stared at her. "Okay, first of all," he said, "Ah have no idea what y'all just said there. Second, are y'all stalkin' me 'r somethin'?"

Jolene ignored him, looked at me and Joseph, and told us, "Oh, I'm so glad we were able to find you guys!" Then, before we could say or do anything, she SMACKED Joseph on his face.

"OW!" he yelled. His hand held his cheek, which was turning red. I placed my hand over my mouth. Jolene has never done anything like that before!

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" she yelled at him. "RUNNING INTO THE MUSEUM WHILE IT WAS CLOSING?! IF I HADN'T FOUND YOU, MOM AND DAD WOULD'VE KILLED ME!"

The man in the uniform ran over and used his hands to separate them. "Hey! No fighting!" he said to them. Joseph was still holding his face while Jolene continued staring angrily at him. She was breathing very hard, and it was kind of scary.

The president stepped in, too. "Jolene, violence does not solve everything," he said. "You two both need to make up with each other."

Joseph sighed, then said, "Sorry for running away, I guess."

Jolene looked at the floor and replied, "Sorry, too, I guess, for slapping you." She looked up. "So, we're even?"

Joseph shook his head and smirked. "Nope," he answered. "You're still an annoying know-it-all."

"Hey!"

Joseph laughed. At least things were back to normal. Almost.

Using sign language, I told my siblings that we had to get back to the hotel. "Oh my gosh, you're right!" Jolene exclaimed worriedly.

She turned to the man in the uniform and said, "Excuse me, Mr... Uh..."

He shrugged. "Just call me Larry," he said.

"Larry, my brothers and I need to get back to our hotel, and soon! Our parents will wonder where we are if we aren't there in the morning."

"Uh, okay," he said, then clapped his hands together. "Where's your hotel?"

"The Confort Inn. It's the one about five blocks from here to the left."

"Yeah, I don't think it's okay for you three to go out on your own at this time," he told us. "I'll have to go with you."

"Nonsense, Lawrence!" Mr. President Guy told him. "You have a museum to watch!"

"Yeah, choose someone else, like me an' Ocky 'ere!" Jed said, pointing to him and Octavus or whatever. They still were in Joseph's pocket.

"We could do it!" Octavius said.

Larry shook his head. "Nuh-uh. Not after last time." He used his fingers to pick them up from there and said, "And get out of there! I don't want either of you escaping and turning into dust."

Joseph's eyes widened. "Turn to dust?" he asked.

Jolene nodded. "Yeah," she said. "Teddy told me that if they're outside when the sun rises, they turn into dust."

"Woah."

The two tiny men were now sitting on Larry's shoulders. "Okay," he said. "The ones I trust to bring these three back are-" He was interrupted by some chittery noise.

Out of nowhere, a monkey jumped onto the president's shoulder and looked around. Jolene gasped. "That's the most adorable Capuchin monkey I've ever seen!" She held out her arm to let him on.

"Careful, he might-" Larry began, until he saw the monkey climb gently onto her arm. "Um, never mind. He seems to like you."

"Why would I have to be careful?" Jolene asked him as she pet his head. "Capuchins are very friendly creatures to humans." I swear the monkey was smiling.

The Indian girl smiled as well, and petted him with her. "This here is Dexter," the president said to her. "One of our friendliest exhibits in this museum."

"Wanna hold him, Larry?" Jolene asked, holding out her arm. Larry backed away.

"Uh, no thanks," he replied. "I'm good."

"Come on, there's nothing to be afraid of," she told him.

Nervously, he held out his arm, and Dexter jumped onto him. Larry held out a shaky hand to pet him. "Hi, Dexy," he said softly. "Do you finally like me now?" Before his hand could touch him, Dexter slapped Larry on the face. Larry looked really mad.

He raised his hand really fast, and it looked like he was about to slap him, until the president yelled, "LAWRENCE!"

Larry turned to him, pointed to Dexter, and said, "Did you just see what he-"

"How many times do I have to tell you, Lawrence, do NOT slap the monkey!"

Jolene gasped. "You were going to slap him?!" she cried. "Don't you know that's animal abuse?!" Man, I've never seen Jolene so upset before.

"But he just-" Larry started.

"Dude, I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're acting like a little kid," Joseph told him.

Larry pushed his arm towards the president guy and said, "You know what? Just take him!" Dexter jumped back onto his shoulders and stuck his tongue out at him.

Larry gave him a look, then said, "So, like I was saying earlier, the only ones I trust to bring them back to their hotel are Teddy and Ahk." He pointed to Ahk and the president guy with Dexter. I'm guessing he's Teddy.

"Alright, we will accompany them on their journey back," Ahk said. He talks weird sometimes.

"Alright," Larry said. He patted both of them on the shoulder. "Be safe you two."

"We will, Lawrence," Teddy said. "Don't worry."

"Yeah, just remember to be back by sunrise." He turned to Jolene and asked, "How long is the walk from here to your hotel?"

"Should be about ten minutes or so," Jolene answered.

"Alright, that's good," he said. "Safe trip, you guys."

"Don't worry, Lawrence," Teddy said. "We won't be long."
