That morning, My uncle said that he had to do something in town, so I said okay and went to bed, I had a tough time getting to sleep that night. I sighed as I looked at the clock, It read 11:00, I sighed as I decided to get up, my room was dark, because I put up very dark colored curtains up, the small room, seemed sort of spooky if you thought about. Be careful...something just might jump out at you. Okay maybe not, but giving the impression sure looks good doesn't it.

I walked over to my burgundy colored dresser and pulled out a pink tank-top and a pair of black shorts, brushed my hair and pulled it back into a loose ponytail and of course tripping over my clothes that I wore the previous day, getting back up off the floor, I looked evilly at my devil clothes and kicked them to the side of the room, and closed the door behind me.

As I walked down the stairs, I notice my uncle sitting in the kitchen holding something in his hand, as I walked closer to the kitchen I see that his eyes are closed and his head in his hands, while is elbows are leaning against the wooden table-top. I reached to wake him up, but stopped when I saw what he was holding...The Mortgage payment for that month.

My eyes widened in shock as I saw what the bill came to. '$780.85'I couldn't believe the price...not to mention he puts the food on the table, pays the bills, lights and internet and phone...'I think its time to get a job...'

I quickly hurried to the computer to type up my resume, when I finished I saw that it was around 12:00, so I grabbed my red and grey Cotton hoodie and headed for the door. I paused for a moment to look at my uncle, sleeping peacefully on the table. I grinned, and quietly closed the door.

I had at least 12 copies of my resume, in hand as I went to all the different stores in town. As I went down Main St. I saw a familar bulding there. Tim Horton's. I smirked, when I went to Mt. Allison University, I worked part-time at the local Tim Horton's there. All the different people I met, everyone was nice.

I walked to the doors of the, familiar coffee scented building, and walked over to the counter. A middle aged woman, with dyed brown hair, smiled at me brightly. I smiled back. "Hello. May I help you?" She asked sweetly.

"Oh yes! Is the manager of the store here today?" She nodded and walked to the swinging doors that lead to the kitchen and the office. "Matt, a young girl is here to talk to you."

Hearing him acknowledge the fact that I was there, made me slightly nervous. As he came out, I walked over to the edge of the counter, and held out a resume. "Hello. My name is Kayleigh Daley...I was wondering if you had any job openings here?"

He smiled brightly and nodded. "Yes there is as a matter of fact. What would you like to fill out an application?" I nodded. "I also have a resume here to to go with the application." I handed him my resume, and waited for an application. He was looking over it. "You used to work for Tim Horton's in Canada."

I smiled sheepishly at him, and nodded. He seemed to be impressed. "How about you have a seat...and I'll give you an interview."

My eyes widened. 'An interview...now?'

"uhh sure..."I whispered as I went over to the table next to the window and sat down. I remembered being at Tim Horton's for a year at the one in Sussex, and laughed at a particular memory. It was embarrassing but funny no doubt.

~Begin Flashback~

"Would you like the soup deal with that?" I asked, and as the woman I was serving said yes, and pointed at the chocolate chip muffins, I grabbed a plate and a waxie, and went for the tray of muffins that was on the top shelf. I had to be on my tip-toes to reach it. As I grabbed one of the muffins, it fell to the floor, and with it came the tray of muffins.

I stared down at the muffins that were now lying broken and on the floor, I felt my face getting red, as everyone who was in the store, turned to look at where the crashing sound came from. My supervisor came out from the kitchen as she heard something fall to the floor, not sure if it was a worker or someone else, stopped dead in her tracts as she saw the muffins as well.

I gulped as I thought I would get into trouble, but the older woman laughed, and I breathed a sigh of relief, as we started picking up the muffins to be recorded in the daily make sheet for throw outs, that day.

"This happens at least once or twice a month here. No big deal." I smiled, as I realized that the woman who wanted the muffin was laughing at me. "I'm sorry for dropping your muffin..."

She waved her hand. "Oh don't worry about that dear. It was an accident. Can I have a...Fruit explosion then?" I nodded and carefully grabbed the muffin and propped it on the saucer that was on the counter for her. She gave me a tip and went with her family to eat.

Everyone in the store knew what I did, and they never let me live it down, but that's alright it was the embarrassing thing that happened for the day.

~End flashback~

The manager came back out, and we started the interview.

When we were done, his notes on me were finished, I filled out an application, handed it to him, and left the building. I looked at my watch and saw that it was 4:30pm. Once I got home, my uncle was getting everything ready to go to the museum. He looked up when I took my sneakers off. I stopped what I was doing, and waited for him to say something. "Where have you been, Kay?"

"Job-hunting..."

He looked at me again with a weird look, and I laughed. "Whats so funny?" I put both hands on my hip, and raised and eyebrow at him, waiting for him to explain.

"Uhh...nothing...but...why?" He asked suspiciously eyeing me. I grinned like a kid.

"Well...uncle Larry...first off. I'm old enough to get a job...and two...I just thought I should start helping out around here..."

He smiled weakly before continuing with what he was doing. After about five minutes he turned his head and looked at me. "Are you coming to the museum tonight?"

I nodded. "Wouldn't miss any minute of it would I?" He looked at me thoughtfully for a moment before agreeing.

"So what time did you leave?" I thought for a moment. "I think I left with a few copies of my resume at around...noon."

"You've been gone for quite some time though." I laughed.

"Yeah I know....but I also had an interview at Tim Horton's on Main Street." He raised an eyebrow. "Really? Thats good Kay?" He wrapped his arms around me and gave me a tight hug, and let go of me as we headed up the stairs to the museum.

Once there, Teddy and Sacajawea, and Teddy's horse Texas, came trotting over to us. I smiled as I saw the beautiful animal, smell my hair. I giggled like a little girl as his nose tickled my neck. "Hey Tex"

"Lawrence! Kayleigh. How are you two on this fine night?" Teddy walked over to my uncle and I, and took my hand and kissed it like a gentlemen. I giggled. I couldn't help but do it. "Hello, Teddy, Hello, Sacajawea. I'm great thank you. How about you?"

"We're great dear." Teddy replied for the both of them, Larry laughed. Sacajawea looked at my attire. "Kayleigh, you sure are dressed up. Something going on between you and Ahkmenrah?"

I blushed at this. "Uhh...No. Though it would be nice. I was job-hunting today, and I had an interview." Sacajawea and Teddy smiled and said congratulations as I said by, and headed for the the Egyptian department, as soon as I got to Ahkmenrah's tomb, he was just was getting out of his sarcophagus, and he turned his head and smiled when he saw that it was me, I smiled and walked up to him. Without any words, I put both of my hands gently on his face and pulled him into mine as I kissed him passionately on the lips, he was surprised to say the least, but kissed me back.

About a minute or so, of the blissful kiss we had to pull apart for air. He looked at me, his eyes filled with longing. I smiled seductively at him. "Hey Ahk."

He smiled and ran his fingers over my used-to-be injured shoulder. "How is your shoulder now?"

"Its fine now. How are you?" He smiled. "I'm good. What was the kiss for?"

I had to laugh at this. "Oh Ahk." I playfully hit his arm. "One...I love you...two...I wanted to thank you for...comforting me yesterday." He smiled a sweet and loving smile at me, and we kissed again as we left his exhibit, and went walking. Coming across Attila and his men was always fun around here. Always trying to rip your arms off. They were about to grab ahold of me, but stopped when Ahkmenrah told them no limb-ripping in their native tongue.

I smiled, as we headed for the Diorama Room, betting on whether or not Jed and Octavius were arguing again, and sure enough....they were...but not only that they were having a fist fight. I looked angrily at the two men as I stomped over to them and picked them up.

"PUT ME DOWN, I SAID IT ONCE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN...I DON'T LIKE TO BE MANHANDLED. I'M SURE GIGANTOR TOLD YOU THIS" Jed brought out his gun and pointed it at me. I laughed at this. His face turning red, as I sat them both on the seat itself, and I knelt down and looked at them, serious.

"What are you two fighting about now?"

"Toga boy keeps on saying that Romans are better then cowboys." I looked at them disbelief. "Are you serious?!"

They nodded, their faces turning red in embarrassment as they realized at how stupid their fight was. "A typical male!"

"I'm sorry m'lady. It won't happen again." I looked at Octavius. "Octavius...don't be an ass-kisser alright?"He nodded and looked toward his feet in embarrassment.

After about twenty minutes of talking to the miniatures, Ahkmenrah and I went to the roof, falling stars were common at this time of the year, so we headed up, with a blanket a pillow, and as we layed down, the stars started to move across the sky, making it look beautiful, I was sitting on Ahkmenrah's lap, holding his hand as I caressed the back of it, and he was caressing my head.

.I started to fall asleep in his lap, and eventually I went into a deep slumber as I felt his lips upon my forehead. With that, I was...well...dead to the world.

~Ahkmenrah's Point Of View~

Kayleigh looked so beautiful in my arms, so happy and peaceful....just like she should, as I caressed her head in a soothing motion, leaning my head on the top of hers, and leaned back against the pillow that was settled between myself and the brick wall. I watched the stars as they flowed across the sky, like a water lily would flow across the ocean.

After what seemed like only twenty minutes, was actually several hours, Larry opened the door, looking completely out of breath, he was about to say something when he stopped as I put up my pointer finger to my lips, to indicate to him that his niece was asleep.

He made a wincing look as if to say sorry, and tip-toed his way towards us, he knelt down and leaned in and whispered in my ear. "Ahk, its ten minutes before sunrise do you want to wake Kayleigh up, or do you want me too?"

I thought for a moment. but agreed to let him wake her up, he got up and moved closer to Kayleigh, who was still in my arms, and gently shook her awake. "Kay, time to wake up lovey."

She moaned, and stuffed her face in my cheek. I laughed at this. Larry smiled as he looked from me to her, and tried again, this time her eyes opened heavily, and still in s sleepy state said. "But mommy...I don't want to go to school...I want to stay home and bake cookies with you..."

Larry laughed at this as I grinned wildly. This time I tried. "Kay...my sweet time to wake up." This time she sighed and sat up in my lap, and looked around, apparently confused, as to where she was. She then quickly remembered.

She turned to Larry and rubbed her eyes. "What is it Larry?"

"Its..." Looking at his watch again, "five minutes before sunrise you two...time to go Kay."

She reluctantly got up and helped me up, and as we gathered the stuff that we brought out, she intertwined her fingers with mine, and we left to my exhibit.

~Back to Kay's POV~

I stifled a yawn as we finally reached Ahkmenrah's tomb, both still hand in hand. Once inside, I turned to him, and pulled him into a gentle embrace. "I didn't mean to fall asleep on you..."

I heard Ahkmenrah laugh as he wrapped his arms around me, I looked up and got entranced in his beautiful eyes, but quickly looked away. "Its alright, Kay. I understand if you were tired. Anyways I will see you tonight my love."

With that we kissed passionately and I said good-bye as soon as he was climbing into his sarcophagus. I smiled as I walked down the stairs to the lobby, where my uncle was smiling brightly at me.
