Greek Runaway

Πενήντα δύο(Fifty Two)

Ahkmenrah's POV

After the tablet brought us back to life I got myself ready and went to find Katalina when I literally ran into Larry.

"Hey Ahk. We're getting the finishing touches done with the renovations can you go and help Teddy? I think he is in the observatory. Trying to calm the constellations down."

"Yeah, I'll take my tablet with me," I said and went to get my tablet.

"Thanks so much." I nodded my head and went to Teddy. I could hear him talking to what must be the constellations and sounding like he is soothing them.

"My dear friends. This is King Ahkmenrah. He is the one with the tablet I was telling you about." I walked in and saw figures made out of little lights. "Ahkmenrah, these are the constillations. There's Orion, the hunter."

Trying to explain to the constellations what we were going to do tomorrow was really hard. They weren't really into listening to Teddy or myself. The constellations are just flying all over. I don't think they trust us.

"Hey, Ahkmenrah? What's going on?" Larry asked walking into the room over by me. That's when I'd realized that Teddy left me.

"They're like freaking out," I said to Larry. "They're not listening to me."

"Hey. Constellations!" Larry yelled. They stopped almost immediately. "Listen up. I'm Larry Daley. I am the security guard here. I'm in charge. This is Ahkmenrah. His tablet that he's holding right here is what brings you to life. It will continue to bring you to life every night unless if it is not here or if one of the middle pieces are turned before sundown." Larry said. I nodded at the constellations. "And tomorrow we need you guys to behave. We're reopening the museum at night for everyone to come and see. Actually tomorrow is a very special night so I need you all to be on your best behavior."

The constellations seemed to understand and they seem less freaked out than what they were when it was Teddy and me in here.

"Larry, where is Katalina?" I asked.

"I think she's in the lobby talking to Jedediah," Larry said.

"Thank you," I said and went to go find her. When I walked into the lobby I saw her listening as Jedediah was talking to her. I went to them and sat next to Katalina and listened to Jedediah tell his life story.

"...yeah and then a few of my friends and I were going up to the mountains. And now I don't remember much, I'm pretty sure that's how I died."

"Your story is very interesting."

"I guess but I think yours is better. Hey Ahkmenrah. Everything handled with the constellations?" Jedediah asked me.

"I guess. For the time being. Larry is with them helping them rehearse for tomorrow night."

"So some of us will probably be next right?" I nodded at him. "Well then. Could one of you please take me back to my diorama?" He asked. Katalina let her hand down for him to climb onto.

Katalina and I walked Jedediah back and we said goodbye to him and continued to walk with each other.

"What made you so interested in Jedediah's story?" I asked her as I held her hand.

"I am interested in everyone's story here. And I couldn't find you so I was talking to him," she said. I smiled down at her and kissed her forehead.

"Want to go see the constellations?" I asked her and she nodded. We walked to the constellations which Larry was still trying to maintain under control. As we walked in one of the constellations saw us and started flying all over again. Shortly after the rest did the same.

"C'mon guys. You can't freak out when someone new walks into the room. Especially because the room is going to be full of people you don't know." Larry said sounding annoyed. Katalina and I walked closer to Larry.

"Why exactly don't they like us?" Katalina asked looking at Larry.

"I think it's because they're still new to the idea of coming to life at night and because everything is new to them," Larry said. "But I need to get them under control."

"Why so soon?" I asked.

"When I have them ready we're going to reopen the museum and have a special night thing. Involving most of you guys as well." Larry said.

"How long do you think it will take?" I asked. And then I looked over and saw one of them listening to Katalina. I pointed to Katalina for Larry. He turned and saw her. We walked to her.

"How did you do that?" He asked.

"They speak Greek. So Mr. Daley how bad is my Greek now?" She asked smirking at him.

"It's probably the best thing to have happened. Okay tell them that 'they did good tonight and we'll be back at it tomorrow.'"

"Εσείς έκανε θαυμάοια για απόψε και θα επιοτρέψουμε αε αυτό το αύριο." Katalina said and we walked out of the new room.

"Thanks, Katalina. Hey, do you think you can help me with teaching them what they're supposed to do?"

"Of course Larry. I will see you tomorrow then."

"Yes. Goodnight guys."

"Good Morning Larry." Katalina and I said at the same time and went our separate ways.
