A Visitor - 3 months
"Uh, Wea?" You let go of where you have been messing with her hair. "Do you hear that?" The two of you listen closely. You can hear a male voice calling out while the rattles of a door shaking mask his words.
"Nick?" She stands and heads down the hall toward the loading dock.
"Who?"
"Larry's son, Nicky. What is he doing here?" Opening the door outside, the two of you see a teenager with medium-length brown hair and a multitude of freckles covering his face.
"Hey Sacajawea! Mind if I- uh, come in?" The two of you exchange a glance before she steps out of the doorway to let him in.
"Hey, and you're that new princess in Ahk's old room, right? I came by earlier today and checked out your exhibit. Pretty cool stuff." You give him a slight smile and curtsy.
"Yes, I am Princess (Y/n). The others have told me much about you… Nick, was it?"
"Yeah. So um, I noticed everything was back to normal. Is the tablet back?" You step back and allow Wea to explain as the three of you head to the lobby.
"Nicolaus my lad, it's good to see you again!" How many names does this boy have?
"You too, Teddy. I noticed the lights on the other night and figured everyone was back. The night guard use to it yet?" Teddy shakes his head.
"The man hasn't even set foot in the museum since we awoke. I suppose it's a good thing, but it would be nice if there was someone else to help me control the museum." Nicky's eyes brighten.
"You know, I'm saving up for college and need a job… and slacking on guard-duty is probably gonna get this guy fired…" Teddy smiles as he catches Nick's train of thought.
"The exhibits know you, and there would be very few issues that I can think of." You feel a little awkward as the two of them go on about getting the current guard fired and how Nicky will fit the night-guard job into his schedule.
"Hey, Wea?" She glances over at you, nodding in agreement. Silently, the two of you creep back to her display to finish braiding her hair, which has only been half-done this entire time.
A/N: I know it's a short chapter, but I'm getting a bit of writer's block on this story. Please review with your thoughts/ideas; I could really use some tips on where this story should go! :) Oh yeah, and since I forgot to do it at the top...
