Night at the Museum

Secret of the Tomb, part 9: No Camelot

Everyone huddled onto a bus near the Camelot advertisement. As everyone sat down, two kids saw them and were staring. Any kid (or person) would if historically documented people got on the same bus as them. Larry nodded at them.

"What's up?" he asked. The kids continued to stare.

"We're just as God made us!" Jed said, he and Octavius holding onto a bus rail.

The kids still stared.

"Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer!"

The girl pulled out her phone and took a photo.

Eventually, they got to the Camelot musical. They entered and saw Lancelot. "LANCELOT!" Larry shouted at him. Lancelot's attention was drawn from the lady playing Guinevere and.. Hugh Jackman, and he ran off with a lighted torch. Everyone followed into the back entrance of the building.

"Oh, yep, come on up. Monkey! Terrific. Love the costumes." Hugh said with sarcasm. , but Larry stopped for a second and turned around.

"Sorry! Just gotta say, you're the whole package, man." Larry complimented Hugh, panting.

"Thanks buddy." Hugh smiled.

Everyone then ran back off, following Lancelot. Then eventually, they all found him, and it turns out, it wasn't an exit, and they were at the top of the building. "HEY! GIVE ME THE TABLET!" Larry yelled. Just as almost everyone got off of the staircase, Lancelot ran up and flailed the torch.

"STAY AWAY! STAY BACK!... STAY BACK!" He yelled in response. Larry stepped back a bit, before noticing his nose. Then, Y/n noticed, along with everyone else.

"...What?" Lancelot asked. Everyone groaned in slight disgust as Larry explained.

"Your nose, it's- It's-"

"What? What about my nose?"

"Your nose, it's- it's dripping. Melting." Lancelot crossed his eyes and looked at his nose as Larry explained, and gasped. He stepped back and stammered as he put the torch fire first into some snow to put the fire it out, before pulling his sword out.

"...How bad is it?"

"It is- ..not great."

"BUT I'M LANCELOT!"

"There never WAS a Lancelot!" Larry spurted, "Lancelot is a legend. You're not real."

"I- I DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

"I know, I know it's a lot to take in, but please, just give me the tablet."

"Oh, and then what? Back to the museum?" Lancelot asked rhetorically, "STAND there as little children ogle and point and learn?" as he spoke, Y/n realized how awful it must be for him, and all the others to be like that everyday. But before they could dig deep into the realization, Teddy added to Lancelot's words.

"And get inspired to do great things." He smiled and walked up to Lancelot and Larry, Sacagawea following, "There are far less noble traits, my friend.

"NOT FOR ME, THERE AREN'T!" Lancelot screamed. He started to get a little emotional, "If there is no Camelot, there is no Guinevere... and no Lancelot... Then I'm nothing, I'm- I'm just a sad lump of misshapen wax-" Yet again, before Y/n could really really take in his words, he cut himself off and Yelled at Larry.

"STOP LOOKING AT MY NOSE!"

"I wasn't looking at it!"

"You WERE, I saw you. You were like this. 'hmm, hmm,' Staring."

"I wasn't like that."

"YOU WERE!"

"DON'T LOOK AT IT!"
