Night at the Museum

(A/N: whenever i say Y/n cried, im judt making it accurate to what would happen irl, im not expecti g anyone to cry fr)

Ahkmenrah walked up to his parents with the restored tablet at hand. Shepseheret cupped his face, smiling. "Well done, my child." she said, proud of him. Merenkahre slowly walked over to Larry and Y/n, ready to say something to Larry.

"Thank you... for bringing my son home safely." He said, before leaning in, smirking slightly, "It's a strange thing, seeing your boy become a man." he turned to Ahkmenrah and Shepseheret, looking at them engage in conversation. Larry smiled as he looked at Y/n, then Nicky. "Yeah, it's crazy. One day, they're riding a dinosaur through Central Park... and then the next day, they're DJ-ing in Ibiza, or becoming a CEO." Larry responded. Merenkahre looked confused.

"He doesn't know what a dinosaur is. Or what Ibiza is." Y/n whispered. Merenkahre gave up trying to uncode what Larry just said, and turned to him.

"You've served my family well." He said, before looking at Y/n, "Both of you. We shall build a great tomb and bury you with many riches. I, personally, will see to it that your organs are removed, and plaved in separate jewel-encrusted jars." Larry and Y/n nodded. "Thank you." Larry said softly. Merenkahre put his hand on Larry's shoulder and smiled at the two before quickly frowning and going back to his family.

"Then we're agreed." Teddy said. Y/n turned around.

"Agreed to what?" They asked.

"Lawrence, Y/n... may I have a word?" Teddy asked, before getting a nod from Larry, "...The others and I have been talking."

"Ahkmenrah's place is... here, with his family." Octavius said, slightly hesitant,

"He must remain here." "And the tablet should stay here as well, lads." Teddy said with a sad smile.

"This is where it belongs, Gigantors." Jed sighed, nodding his head.

"Well, but-" Y/n tried to process it, before Larry spoke up. "That means you guys would have to stay." He said.

"We belong in New York." Sacagawea responded, shaking her head. "That's right." Atilla said in Hunnic, "this isn't our home."

"But if the tablet stays here, then.. you won't be alive after tonight." Y/n gulped, their eyes darting to everyone with confusion and worry.

"We're museum exhibits, Laredo, It's what we are." Jedediah spoke up, as Dexter chittered, "Folks come to look at us, maybe learn a little somethin'.... that's alive, man." "But I'm..." Larry spoke, his words catching in his throat, "I'm suppose to take care of you guys."

"And you have." Teddy responded. Larry and Y/n gave him a sad look. "It's okay, lads." He reassured them, "We're ready."

"But I'm not." Y/n spoke up, "We're not. Right, Dad?" Y/n turned to Larry, before turning to Nicky, "Right, Nick?"

"Let us go, (son/lad)." Teddy turned to Y/n. Y/n looked at Teddy, before looking back at Nicky, who was nodding his head.

"...Okay." Larry whispered. Y/n jerked their head to him, before back at everyone else. It took them a few seconds to process everything, before sighing and accepting that whatever they had to say wouldn't change anything. Ahkmenrah walked up to Larry.

"Thank you for giving me back my family Larry... G-Guardian of Brooklyn..." he tried to smile and hide the fact he was sad.

"Dad, if we leave right now, we can still catch a flight. Get home with everyone still awake before the son comes up." Nicky said. "Yeah, okay." Larry nodded, before pulling Ahkmenrah in for a hug. Once they stopped, Y/n gave Ahkmenrah a hug too.

"Goodbye, Y/n. Thank you for being a friend of mine." Ahkmenrah uttered as they hugged. Y/n held back a few tears as they hugged, before letting go and smiling once more at Ahkmenrah. "Let's go home." Larry muttered. Everyone was about to exit, before Lancelot came back, with the Triceratops from before.

"It's alright, Larry. We've reached something of an understanding." Lancelot smiled as he looked at the Triceratops.

"Really?"

"Trixie, sit." Trixie sat at Lancelots command.

"Wow! That's really good." Larry mustered a soft smile, "Good job, Lance." He then led everyone back to the truck. Before everyone got together the box in the truck, Atilla handed Jedediah and Octavius to Y/n.

After a bit of waiting for Larry to get Laaa, Y/n got out of the truck and went to Tilly's shed.

"Dad, we gotta-" Y/n spoke, before stopping in their tracks as they saw Laaa and Tilly kissing. "What in Sam Hill..." Jedediah muttered. Laaa proceeded to put his finger all up in Tilly's face, not understanding what a kiss is. Larry and Y/n made the same disgusted face at the same time. Like father, like kid.

"I will never forget you." Tilly said, Laaa repeating in caveman language. "You are the most rugged man that I have ever, ever met." She said. Laaa spoke in caveman again.

"Keep the scrunchies." she nods sadly.

"Okay, Laaa, we gotta go." Larry took Laaa's arm and the three were about to walk away, before Larry went back to Tilly.

"I won't say anything if you won't." Larry said, Tilly nodding. "Oh, and I know you hate this joband everything, but tomorrow night... best job ever." Larry smiled, before going to the truck with Y/n and Laaa.
