Hello, Ema333!

Just a short epilogue :)

Several months later, the Natural History Museum glowed with life for the first time in a while. The visiting Egyptian section of the British Museum brought with it both Ahkmenrah and the tablet, as well as his parents and many artifacts. There was nothing short of a celebration.

As everyone danced and ran about the main lobby, Teddy drew his horse up towards the DJ-ing young pharaoh. Despite the bright lights and joy around him, Ahkmenrah looked down.

"It seems to me," Teddy began, "that this is a night for celebration. Why aren't you enjoying this reunion with everyone?"

Ahk looked sheepishly up at the president. "I am overjoyed to be back in New York. I can now show my family where I have spent the past many years. However..."

"There is a certain snake charmer missing from our reverie?" Teddy looked knowingly at the young pharaoh.

"Yes, it seems some of the Egyptian section did not join us on this trip."

Ahkmenrah looked out once again to the crowd, lost in thought until Teddy sighed above him. "I quite thought that might be it. So I took the liberty of talking to Tilly, making sure everything arrived appropriately. It seems there is a box that was left unopened in the loading dock by mistake. Perhaps..."

But the pharaoh was already gone.

Down in the loading docks, Ahkmenrah burst through the door, breathing heavily from his run there. As Teddy had said, a lone box lay near the door, still sealed with the mark of the British Museum.

Looking around, Ahk found a crowbar, and slowly forced the lid off of the container. It popped, and he threw the tool down to push the cover away. Inside was a sea of packing peanuts, and soon the loading dock looked like a snow globe. Ahkmenrah reached in to pull more of the white foam out when a hand reached out and grasped his, pulling gently. He smiled and pulled back, and slowly Wadjet emerged from the container. She smiled at the pharaoh. "I wondered if you would remember me."

Ahkmenrah's smile widened. "I could never forget my snake charmer."

She stepped carefully up in the box, Ahkmenrah lifting her over the side to stand before him. They gazed at each other for a moment before looking towards the door, where music streamed in from the lobby.

"It seems I have missed the party."

Ahk grabbed her hand, pulling her closer. "You have not seen a New York party yet. It has not even started."

With that, the two Egyptians ran, hand in hand, to join their friends in celebration.

The End.
