THIRD PERSON'S POV
It took the gang a while to find the code of Hammurabi. On the way, they did ask exhibits for help...But who they stumbled across shocked the knight of the roundtable.
"Guinevere?" said Lancelot in a tone of disbelief.
The brunette figured turned around. Showing the gang her face, which mimicked Lancelot's expression - shocked.
"Lancelot..." she spoke. "Is that you?"
A smile appeared on the knight's face, he ran to embrace the queen as she did the same to him.
Larry smiled at the sight, he and Amelia locked fingers. Meg noticed Sacagawea's sorrowed face. Meg knew that she was disappointed to be apart from Teddy.
"It's alright, Sacagawea" she said softly, "I know you miss him, but you'll be reunited soon..."
The Shoshone woman nodded, and put on a weak smile. The miniatures that sat on her shoulders patted her to comfort their friend.
"I can't believe you've been here the whole time!" said Guinevere, "I've missed you so much!" Lancelot chuckled, "I'm glad to have been reunited with you too, my queen. Promise me you'll be mine? Now we have no Arthur standing in our way! We can be happy together! Come back to the Camelot in the british museum with me-"
"Whao, hold on." said Larry, cutting his friend off. He had to stop all this drama. "Now we're taking her with us? Thats not going happen, Lance." said Larry shaking his head.
"Why not?" asked Amelia, "I would like to see the lad do something less goopy for once!"
Everyone looked at the pilot with a confused expression.
"I would like to see Lancelot happy." she said finally. An 'Oh' sound echoed the room.
"Larry, one exhibit wouldn't hurt that much...would it?" said Meg, "Lancelot has finally found the love of his life, and...are you really going to separate them once more?" The pharaoh beside her nodded in agreement. "Larry...you probably don't know what it feels to lose your loved one for 3000 years..." he said, "it was a pain in the ass, as well as a torture in your heart."
"I thought your heart was removed-"
"Stop ruining the moment!" whispered Ahkmenrah, "and pay attention in class! The only organ remaining is the heart!" he scolded.
"Oh pipe down you two!" said Amelia, "Larry...the lad's finally happy with her, why not bring her back? I'm sure she'd like it there in England." Larry sighed. Amelia raised her eyebrow. "alright, alright, she can come along..." said Larry in defeat, Guinevere smiled and gave Lancelot a peck on the lips.
"Hey um...Gigantor? We've better run or else they'll play hopscotch on us..." said Jed looking behind the gang. Everyone turned to look, only to see angry french soliders with loaded guns charging towards them...
"C'mon, c'mon lets go! Go! Go!" said Larry as he shooed the exhibits and Meg.
NICK's POV
Oh god...guns are involved now...
I swear, if I die in there? I'm going to be put up for display. Or Ahk can like...help me plan a tomb and bury me next to either the British museum or the museum of natural history, back in new york...
"O say can you see, by the dawn's early light" sang a voice. "What was that?" questioned Tilly as she was unlocking the door with 'Brundon's' card.
"What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming"
"The national anthem." I answered simply, with a shrug. Tilly pressed her ear to the door. "I think the presidents are singing..." she said. She swiftly opened the door, and she was right.
The American presidents were standing together, singing the national anthem.
"Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes," Tilly and I exchanged glances. I shrugged and went to joined in the line, and the anthem.
"What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In fully glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave,"
Tilly facepalmed. She pulled me out the line.
"Nick, we're here for work, not to joke around!" she scolded, she looked towards the presidents.
Another gunshot.
Tilly and I raced to where the sound originated.
Oh no...not mannequins...again...
GUINEVERE'S POV
I took in a deep breath...I could breathe again! I walked towards Merlin's book, perhaps it would tell me where I was...and why I was frozen for so long. What seemed to be Merlin's book had the title 'Arthurian Legends' It was protected with a layer of glass...
Suddenly, screams and shouts echoed along the hallway. Men dressed in funny looking blue clothes rushed in.
"Avez-vous vu les intrus?"
I narrowed my brows... "Sorry?" After that they completely ignored me, and continued on their quest.
I wandered around this beautiful castle alone, making new friends with stoned figures and painted legendary people.
I came across an unusual exhibit. With odd looking words written on the walls, I was studying these writings until something glittering caught my eye. A small piece of gold with red wisps surrounding it was found on the floor. I picked up the delicate piece and examined it.
Clumsiness wasn't the word to describe me, but I let it fall into my eye.
Lancelot was here...Lancelot was the enemy.
The one that should've been king long ago was a man named Kahmunrah. He was the heir to the throne.
O.o.O
"I never thought thathe would'th worked..." said Kahmunrah. "What is your name?" he asked kindly.
"Guinevere. Queen Guinevere."
A smirk formed on his face. "Well, your majesty. If it's not too much trouble, I would like you to find the intruders that hold the magic tablet, and bring them to me...soon the world will be mine like it should've all these years ago..."
It wasn't difficult finding them...
"Guinevere?" said a familiar voice.
I turned around. Lancelot...his face was shocked but at the same time, glad. Very much like how I am feeling...
"Lancelot..." I said softly. "Is that you?"
A smile appeared on his beautiful face, he came and held me in his arms. Oh, how I missed this lovely feeling.
But he's the enemy...perhaps, fake your joyfulness...and crush them...
