- See ya' tomorrow, Giantess!
- Have a good night, Clar! - Octavius yelled behind me and I could've sworn that I also heard him already lecturing his cowboy friend. I giggled to myself and wandered off to find Nicky.

I tapped my notebook with boredom looking at my math homework which sadly didn't decided to do it by itself. I sighed and checked the time on my phone. 5:43 pm.
- Shit I'm going to be late. - I whined and pushed the notebook and my pencil case into my black arm bag. I quickly stood up and checked myself in the mirror. My red locks as always out of order and my green eyes perfectly fit with my green tank top and black skinny jeans.
I put on my high black combat boots, put on my jacket and sneaked out of my room by window and jumped on the fire escape. Quickly I made my way down stairs and before I knew it I was on the floor. I took out a cigarette from my bag and after lightening it I took one hit from it. I breathed out the smoke and slowly made my way to the museum. After few minutes I was right before it so I made my way to the back of it where was the emergency exit which is supposed to be always opened. And so it was. Just as I was about to walk up the stairs my ears were hit with the loud music and yelling different people and animals. Huh? Seems like exhibits are having party tonight. I smiled at the thought and opened the last door, some of the exhibits were walking around the halls.
I was about to go to the miniatures hall when a little car drove beside my feet with gigantic bone attached to it and it stopped right before me. I knelt down when I noticed the familiar little cowboy's face looking up at me from one window.
- Hey there, Giantess! You came back! - he yelled to me and got out of the car, soon I heard the loud roar and the floor started to shake.
- Hi Jed, Hi Octavius! - I smiled down at them when the Roman got out of the little car as well and took of his helmet and bowed his head to me with a genuine smile.
- It's nice to see you again, miss Clar. - Octavius said and I rolled my eyes at the "miss" thing. What a gentleman.
- I remember you guys promised me a trip around the museum. Wanna show me around? - I asked and showed them my hands to let them climb it, Jed quickly get on while Octavius did something in the little car and after it drove away somewhere by itself he walked to my hand and gently climbed it as well. As soon as I stood up to my feet the gigantic T-Rex skeleton just ran beside me and after the little car. - I see you had fun, huh?
- Not as much fun as riding a Giantess like yourself. - Jed said already sitting on my left arm while Octavius sat on the other one.
- Jedediah! - Octavius said and I just laughed at them.
- Just tell me were to go guys. - I said with a smile and let them lead me. Soon we arrived at the Egyptian Exhibit, when I entered it I noticed an open sarcophagus and Ahk standing before some gold tablet attached to the wall.
- And here is the thing that makes as alive up every night. The tablet of Ahkmenrah. - Octavius told me and I looked at the golden thing with awe. Ahk turned around and smiled at me and walked up to me.
- Miss Clarity! Nice to see you again. - he said to me and I smiled back at him with a little blush... I must admit for a 3000 years old Pharaon he's quite good looking.
- Hey Ahk. I told you before, please call me Clar. - I said to him with a smile and earned a look from Jedediah.
- Wait... your full name is Clarity, lass? - cowboy asked me and I nodded to him. He smiled at me teasingly. - So what you're like pure light or something, ey?
- Don't even start on it, dipshit. - I said to him warningly and to my surprise Octavius laughed at that one. I thought that more probably I'll earn a lecture from him. I looked up at the Egyptian who had an amused look on his face. -How does it work anyway?
- Huh?
- The tablet thing I mean. How is it possible that it brings everything to life every night? - I asked him with my green eyes filled with curiosity earning a genuine smile from the Pharaon. - It's so incredible.
- Honestly I don't have a clue how was that possible. Well before my father has passed he gave it to me and told me that it's enchanted and will bring everything dead back to life at every night. - he said looking thoughtfully at the golden piece, I stood beside him and looked at it closely and noticed many egyptian signs, it even looked so magical.
- Hey, Giantess. How about we carry on our trip? - Jed brought me back from my thoughts. I looked back at the little guys watching me intently.
- Right, sorry I forgot. - I gave them a smile and looked at Ahk apologetically. - It was nice to see you. See you next time, Ahk. - I smiled at him and walked out following another instructions to where to go.
After meeting the Huns and very interesting Atilla whose words I couldn't understand anyway, and after bumping into Teddy and Scagawea - whose name was also hard for me to say - Suddenly I was passed by Dexter who jumped on my arm and off and knocked Octavius off of my arm. But thanks to my good reflex I caught him in with my hand.
- Dexter god damn it! - I yelled after the stupid monkey who was soon chased after by Larry.
- Hi Clar! - he shouted to me and continued on trying to catch the little trouble maker.
I looked down at my palm and sighed with relief when I noticed Octavius hugging my thumb for his dear life.
- God. Octavius are you all right? - I asked with concern and brought my hand close to my face so I can get a better look at my little friend.
- I'm fine... thanks to you. - he said slowly and gave me a shy smile. For such a small guy he was really brave. Only now I had realised how painful sometimes their life at the museum must've been to them - the little guys. Anyone can just step on them, doesn't notice them and accidentally hurt them. - Maybe we should go back to our exhibit.
- Yeah, that's a good idea. - I said and walked off back to the miniatures hall. On the way I made sure that Octavius was fine as well I kept my eyes on Jed who was just chilling on my shoulder... I wonder how it feels when you sit on someone's arm and just chill out while they do all the walking? I thought to myself and shook my head with a smile.
Soon we arrived at their exhibit and I knelt beside the same chair I met them the first time and gave them time to climb off. They stood at the arm of the chair while I sat on the floor so my face was just before them and we spent another hour talking - mostly they were telling me about their adventures here in museum. I listened to them curiously until I heard footsteps and looked up.
- Clar? What are you still doing here? - Larry asked looking at me surprised, I gave him a confused and checked the time on my phone.
- Omg! It's 2 am already?! - I shouted with my eyes widen. I looked up at Larry who laughed at my reaction. I looked up at guys and smiled at them. - Guess I have to go home. I'll see ya next time.
- See ya, Giantess! - Jed yelled after me and I could see Octavius hitting him on the back of his head. - Ow! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! - and yet he was ignored by the Roman.
- Have a good night, Clar. - Octavius said with a genuine smile. I smiled back and reached my hand for them to climbed on and as they did I stoop up from the floor and walked quickly to their exhibits giving them a lift. Jed casually jumped off it on the Texas exhibit almost not caring if he hadn't jumped to soon, then Octavius carefully got off my hand and into his Roman exhibit. To be honest after tonight I don't blame him.
- Come on, Clar. I'll walk you to the exit. - Larry said and walked away. I quickly followed him and gave the miniatures quick wave. We passed other exhibits doing whatever they wanted to do, some looked at us with curiosity, some gave me smiles or waves. Before I knew it we were at the door already but Larry stopped me when I wanted to leave. - Clar there's something I've got to tell you.
- Yes? - I asked looking at him cautiously. Larry sighed and put his hand on my arm.
- Listen I... I'm quiting the job here.
- What? Why?
- The pay me to less and it's to get hard for me to afford anything except the bills. - he sighed and I nodded understanding. - The firm I told you about, they proposed me better payment...
-But? - I asked knowing that there's something else in it.
- But I wanted to ask you if you'd take the job here. As a night guard. - he looked around and smiled. - I can't leave them all without a good caretaker. So what do you say?
