First chapter of my new fic. Enjoy.

Ahkmenrah awoke from his daily slumber to find that his coffin was colder then usual. Quickly sliding it open, he jumped out only to land on a much colder floor. Quickly getting into his usual attire, he left his exhibit.

It was very peculiar to the young Pharaoh, having not experienced the cold in Egypt. The deserts were always hot, but he remembered once in Cambridge, he had seen snow fall. He was later told that they were called snowflakes. They were very fascinating to him, like frozen, fluffy rain.

Ahk was heading down the stair case when he noticed Larry walking into the lobby.

"Evening, Ahk. What's the rush?" He asked.

"I came to ask why my exhibit was cold." Ahk said.

Larry winced. "Oh, sorry. McPhee has a habit of forgetting to leave the heat on when he leaves. Sorry, your place must have been freezing."

Ahk nodded awkwardly.

"I do not wish to be a burden, but-"

Larry frowned. "Ahk, you're not burden. If something is bothering you, we're here."

Larry's words didn't seem to have affect for the nervous Pharaoh. It had been a year since he had been released from his sarcophagus. He still hated to be shut up inside and after 55 years, Larry didn't blame him.

Attempting to change the subject, Larry smiled. "Well, it should be warmer in a few minutes. How about some hot chocolate?"

The Pharaoh frowned. "What is hot chocolate?" He asked.

"You've never heard of hot chocolate?"

"I believe Teddy mentioned it once."

Larry laughed. "Come on."

In the break room, Ahk was sitting at the table while Larry was preparing the hot drink.

Soon the night gaurd was done and sat a mug down for Ahk before taking a seat and began sipping his own.

Ahk eyed the drink carefully. It looked like milk, only brown and thicker looking, with small white rocks floating atop.

"What are these?" He asked.

"Marshmallows. Go on, try it. Careful, though. It's hot."

Ahk raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that why it is called 'hot chocolate'? He asked before lifting the mug and taking a sip of his own.

The beverage was indeed hot, but it's texture was rich and creamy and tasted sweet.

Ahk felt his eyes light up. "This is magnificent!" He cried.

"Glad you like, Nicky- Ahk? Ahk, wait!" Larry cried, but it was too late as he watched Ahk down the drink in seconds before placing the mug down, smiling through a chocolaty mustache.

"Is there more?" He asked, hopefully.

Larry sighed before he chuckled as he stood up to make more.

While Ahk drank his second cup, Larry went on his rounds.

He was nearly finished when he heard shouting from the hall.

Quickly grabbing his flashlight, he raced towards the cry.

Once there, Larry nearly fainted.

There, atop Rexy, was Ahkmenrah whooping as he urged the dinosaur forward through the halls.

Larry yelped as he ducked, Rexy's tail nearly missing his head.

"Ahk!" Larry cried as he ran, trying to keep up.

"Lawrence, what-"

But Larry never let the President finish.

"Teddy!" He shouted as Texas came to a halt beside him. "We need to stop Ahk, before he destroys the museum!"

Teddy held out his hand and helped Larry onto his horse and the two started to chase after Ahk.

"What's wrong with him? Something amiss with the tablet?!" Teddy cried as Larry tightened his grip on the President's waist.

"Worse, sugar rush!" He said.

The President didn't need any other explanation. "Yah!" Teddy urged Texas.

It took several minutes before they were able to catch up and stop the Pharaoh from doing any more damage.

Soon they came to the lobby and Larry quickly jumped off of Texas and raced up the staircase.

Teddy quickly grabbed the loose bone from Rexy's ribs and waved it, distracting the dog-like dinosaur, while Larry grabbed Ahk from the balcony, pulling him up.

"Here!" Teddy yelled, grabbing the dinosaur's attention. "Fetch, boy!" He said, throwing the bone into the hall.

Rexy wagged his long tail, resulting in Teddy to duck before smiling as the dinosaur raced off.

On the balcony, Larry had a tight grip on a very hyped up Pharaoh.

"Jeez, Ahk, you crazy?!" Larry cried. "You could have hurt yourself! Or broken something!"

"But it was amazing! I suddenly felt like the gods had granted me immortal powers!"

"Yeah..." Larry mumbled, reminding himself to never let Ahk have coffee.

"Come on, let's go downstairs. I think you've had enough hot chocolate tonight."

Larry led Ahk to the office where he grabbed his museum duffle bag. The bag was stuffed with wads of gum for Easter, books, games, a soccer ball or two and even an extra jeep in case Jed and Oct crashed theirs.

Muttering to himself, Larry was beginning to wonder if he even packed the item he was looking for before he found it.

"Here, Ahk. Read this." He said.

Ahk took the books in his hands and frowned. "Harry Potter?" He asked as he ran the book cover between his hand.

Larry nodded. "Awesome book, about a kid who finds out he's a wizard."

Ahk nodded as he opened to the first page.

Larry was whistling down the hall when he heard Ahk shouting.

"DUDLEY IS A VILE SERPENT!! HE SHOULD NOT BE TREATING HARRY LIKE THAT!!"

Larry was chuckling before he heard him again.

"DUDLEY SHOULD BE FED TO THE GOD OF RA!!"

It close to morning and everyone was getting into their positions.

Larry found Ahk in the break room, reading.

After promising Ahk he would bring the book back, Larry led him to his exhibit.

Ahk had just settled in when Larry handed him a blanket.

"In case it's cold again. Night, Ahk." Larry said.

"You promise to bring the book tomorrow?" Ahk asked.

"Of course, don't worry, I'll have it waiting in the office."

Ahk sat up, smiling. "And can I have some hot chocolate?"

Larry stopped. "We'll see..." Though inside, he knew that Ahk's request was highly unlikely.
