 Alice woke from her wax like state

Alice woke from her wax like state. Instead of her usual olive green walls of her exhibit. She woke laying in a wooden crate. The princess panicked and started to bang on the wooden ceiling.

"Hello? Anyone there?" the brunette cried, still banging on the door. The lid was removed and light flooded the space. Sitting up she was met with brown orbs of a certain Pharaoh.

"Are you alright, my love?" he asked as he grabbed her hands and helped out of the crate.

"Yes, I'm alright. Thank you," Alice looked around the room to see many of the fellow exhibits exiting wooden crates. "I hate these crates," the ebony haired princess frowned.

"Alice?" the princess heard a familiar voice speak. Alice turned around and saw Larry Daley standing in the room.

"Mr. Daley!" Alice grinned as her old friend had returned. "How are you? How's Nicholas?" the princess asked giving the man a gentle hug.

"He's great, but he misses you all like crazy," Larry admitted with a laugh. "Hey, look, McPhee told me what's going on around here. I had no idea,"

Alice gave him a somber look before turning to the Pharaoh hoping for some comfort. He gently slipped his hand into hers and gave it a tight squeeze. This would be their last night with each other.

"Indeed," Teddy nodded. "A lot has transpired Lawerence, since your last visit," he continued with a sad look. "One would say-," he went further but was cut off by Larry's cellphone ringing.

While Larry checked his phone, Alice heard light banging on a wooden crate. Looking over she saw a small box with the lid rattling. Walking over to it she gently lifted the lid off and was met with the faces of the Romans and Cowboys.

"Thank y'a, Princess," Jedidiah smiled giving her a wink. Alice returned the smile while her cheeks held a faint blush.

"She is royalty, Jedidiah. You should address her as her Royal highness," Octavius scolded the southerner.

Alice felt someone come up behind her and looked to see Larry standing next to her. "Hey guys, how are you doing?" he asked.

"Well, lookie here! If it ain't Mr. Big-in-the-Britches himself," Jedidiah teased, putting his hands on his hips. "Come back just in time to see us off,"

"Yeah, Jed, I heard. Look, I don't even know how this happened," Larry told the cowboy as his cellphone vibrated again. Alice walked back over to Ahkmenrah and he wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Yeah, real mystery how this happened. Maybe the answer is on that magic buzzing box there in your hand," Jed crossed his arms over his chest. "You weren't here Giagantor! That's how it happened! Ain't no mystery!" he yelled getting frustrated.

"The fact is, Larry, there's no one else here to speak on our behalf during business hours," Octavius added agreeing with his friend.

"None none, dum dum," the eastern island head spoke.
