~PatronusNightFlame
It had been a week since Cecil tried to steal Pharaoh Ahkmenrah's tablet. It had been only a week since young Nick knew the pharaoh, and together...they were a pain in the ass for Larry.
NICK's POV
"Dad, but I want to go to the museum!" I whined.
"Not until you finish your homework!" He said.
"It's a worksheet on ancient Egypt!" I cried, "this is why computers were invented, Nicky!" I groaned. "But we have an ancient egyptian pharaoh there! Why can't I ask him?"
Dad stood there for a moment. Thinking. "Fine." he said, "then I'm driving you home" he said quickly. "No! No! What happened to 'team Daley'? Its friday! I want to stay!" I argued. "Nick, it's only been a week since you've last been to the museum" said dad calmly. "Yeah, and that was when a grandpa tried to steal an artefact!"
Dad stood still again. "Fine, you can stay for the night" he said, "only if you've finished your homework, and if you don't tell your mother" he said. I smiled and hugged my dad. "Sure thing dad, you're the best."
When I walked into the museum, I was greeted by none other than Rexy. "Hey boy!" I greeted, dad had already taken a bone and tied it on the tiny car Jed and Octavius would ride in. "Hey mini-gigantor!" I looked down, a few miniatures were there. By a few, I meant 5. 2 of them were one of the greatest leaders in history. Jedediah Smith and Octavius, who founded the roman empire. "My liege" sad Octavius bowing. "Hey Jed, Hey Oct" I said picking them up and walking over to the car beside the information desk - so they didn't need to take any extra steps. "Thank you, Nicky" said Octavius politely, "thanks mini-gigantor" cried Jed, "anytime, guys" I said as they entered the vehicle.
They started the engine - a fake one of course, Rexy wagged his tail. Seconds later they drove off, dragging the bone behind them, Rexy followed and stomped behind.
"Nicky!" greeted Teddy, "m'boy!" he said embracing me, "hi Teddy" I said returning the hug, "Hi Sacagawea" I said hugging her next. "It's great to see you, Nick" she said with her soft, calm voice.
"Nicky! Get your homework done!" shouted dad from...who knows where? "Okay! I'm on it!" I said rushing up the steps to the pharaoh's tomb.
Ahkmenrah stood with his back facing the entrance, examining his tablet. I looked up at the jackals that guarded him, hoping they wouldn't kill me.
"Hey... ?" I squeaked, he turned around almost immediately. "Ah, son of Larry, guardian of Brooklyn. How may I help you?" he asked.
Whoa...he's so formal...how am I ever gonna get work done?
"Hi...I was hoping that you could help me with homework?" I said. He smiled, "sure, and call me Ahkmenrah" he said. "Is there a shorter name for that?" I asked, "or like...a nickname? Because it's kinda hard...and formal..." I said sitting down on the floor, looking up. "Perhaps you could make one for me?" he suggested as he sat on the floor across me. "How about 'Ahk'? It's short and simple!" I said. He nodded, "sure!"
We got started on homework. After an hour, I finally completed those annoying worksheets.
"YES!" I screamed, I may have startled Ahk. Whoops. "FREEDOM!" I laid down on my back with my hands above my head.
"Everything alright in here?" asked a voice, I quickly sat up and turned to look. "He finished his homework like you asked to, Larry" explained Ahk. "Oh...okay, in that case, yes you are free." He said, and he turned to leave.
"Hey..." I started, "wanna ride Rexy?" I asked. The pharaoh smirked, "race you to him" he said as he sprang up and started running. "Hey! No fair!" I cried snatching my homework and running after him. He runs pretty fast in a skirt.
"How did you...how..." I panted. He was sitting on Rexy already, "no fair" I cried, he only chuckled. "Don't laugh!" I said trying to catch my breath, but Rexy scooped my up and put me on his back. "It's not fair!" I said trying to attack him, but instead he tickled me and continued laughing.
I kicked and squealed - very much like a girl.
"Stop it!" I said laughing, "you're giving me a stomach ache from all this laughing!" At last he stopped, but he still continued to laugh, he ruffled my hair, but soon his smile faded.
"Whats wrong?" I asked. "I miss those times when my brother and I would do this..." he said, "but, he changed" I scooted next to him, "people change, memories last. Thats why we have memories. Even when the person we know is gone, the memory will still be there, and at the end of the day you can think back and laugh!" I said.
Where is all this coming from?
"You're right" said the pharaoh, "who's up for a ride?"
AHK's POV
"Nick...I cannot believe you destroyed the window...and also a few of the habitats of our exhibits!" scolded Larry, "and when you say 'The King and I, are partners in crime' I hope you didn't commit any crime!". "And you, Ahkmenrah" he said pointing to me, "you're the pharaoh of this museum, what happened? Has Nicky been a bad influence on you?"
"What? You're siding with him?" cried the 10 year old boy. "No fair! It already wasn't fair when Ahk can run fast in his skirt!"
"It's a tunic!" I said
"Skirt!
"Tunic!"
"Skirt!"
I squinted my eyes to warn him, but Nick only smiled innocently.
"Skirt, tunic, whatever!" said Larry, "just behave yourselves! And thank god you two aren't brothers!" he said walking away since the Neanderthals were chewing on Atilla's hat.
Nick and I looked at each other, both of us smirked.
"Got a plan?" asked Nick.
"Way ahead of you, brother"
Ever since that day, Nick and I have been as close as any sibling should be. Sure we fought, and bickered like Jed and Octavius did. Sure we wrestled - which often let to either one of us being tickled by the other. Sure we got scolded by Larry. Sure we may have disagreements.
But at the of the day, we'll always remember each other as brothers, and partners - in crime.
