DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NATM

August 16 , 2021

Seven years later, 56 year old Larry Daley was still a high school history teacher. He still misses being a night guard at the Natural History museum. He still remembered the good times he had with the friends he made there. He remembered going on risky adventures with them but it was worth it. But things change and that's the change he had to adjust to. He was used to being alone now since his son, Nick, who was now 30. He became a audio engineer. Nick was also married to his high crush named Andrea.

Yeah, Larry's son was very busy yet so was Larry himself but that doesn't change the fact that he lives alone. Larry wouldn't even bother to visit the museum & it's been so long. He notices that the museum in London has been visiting three times a year but he still doesn't go visit.

Larry convinced himself that he's made the right choice by letting them go even. Although he can't bring himself to see them after all these years. Now, he feels like they forgot all about him so he doesn't see the point of visiting.

But this time, Larry will step in the museum to check on his friends to see how they've been doing. Today was the day that Tilly , the night guard would bring the other exhibits over from London.

The doorbell rang on a Sunday morning. Larry got off from his couch to open the door seeing it was Nick. "Hey Dad" Nick smiled happily.

Larry smiled back and hugs his son tightly like his life depended on it.

"Oh , Nicky. I missed you so much. We've both been so busy and...we haven't had time to hangout and talk" Larry frowned & so did Nick.

"Yeah, but I hope you're doing great" Nick formed back a smile.

Larry forced himself to smile even though he's not really fine. He's been tired of work & tired of the loneliness.

"I heard that Tilly is here. It's been so long since we left the museum. I really miss Teddy, Dexter, Octy & Jed. I miss everyone, should we go see them tonight? Um...if you already got plans we can go another—"

"No,no, we can go. I was planning on it too. It has been so long &...I just hope they would remember me" Larry sighs.

"I know that they will" Nick places his hand on his Dad's shoulder.

"Let go out for lunch , Dad. And then we can make our way to the museum!"

The father and son went out to eat for lunch & hangout at the Theodore Roosevelt Park in front of the museum.

"So, how's school?" Larry's son asked.

"It's good. Students can get off task but I do make sure they pass my class so that I won't have to see them another year" Larry chuckled.

"That's good" Nick nods his head impressively.

"How are things going between you and Andrea?" Larry asked.

"Um...yeah about me and her..." Nick looks at his Dad as he gulps.

"I've been accepted another job in Louisville. And uh...Andrea has also been accepted a job as a Case manager. We are planning to move next year" Nick smiles with so much brightness.

"O-Oh? That's...nice" Larry forced a smile.

Why? What's wrong with New York?

Oh, how Larry wishes he can smile & be happy for his son but all he feels is more sadness coming over him as a son tells him that he's going to move to Louisville. Now, Larry feels ten-times more lonely than he was before.

Suddenly, he feels tightness in his chest, he winches, and holds his chest in pain. Nick looks closely at his Dad and got into panic mode "D-Dad? A-Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah, I-I'm fine. I-It's just chest pain" Larry relaxes with his chest still hurting. He doesn't want his son to worry about him.

"Are you sure? We can stop by the drugstore and grab some medicine for you" Nick suggested.

"No, it's okay, Nick" Larry refuses.

"OK but if anything is off or if anything hurts let me know we can go home"

"Okay" Larry chuckles.

When it was almost sundown Larry and Nick went inside the museum. Everything seemed the same but it's been so long.

"LARRY DALEY" It was Tilly who greeted them.

"Hey, how are you?" Larry shakes Tilly's hand.

"I've been great! You?"

"Fine, how's being a night guard?" Larry asked.

"You were right. Best job ever!" Tilly smiled happily.

"I'm glad to hear t–" Larry coughed. "Skews me, i'm glad to hear that. Anything new or anything happened while they all came to life" he cleared his throat.

"No, not really everyone's behaving, no trouble. They are all a delight to have even when they all come together like this" Tilly giggles.

"T-That's great! I'm glad as well to hear great news from you and how everyone is doing" Larry smiles softly.

"Anyways, it's getting dark. Everyone else should be up & going in 3,2,1..."

Larry turns around hearing footsteps coming down the hallway. He sees Ankmenrah holding the tablet in his hand with a smile.

"Larry I would so glad to see you again. I missed you so much" The pharaoh hugged Larry.

"H-Hey there, Ank. I've missed you too" Larry hugs back.

"It is good to see you again dangly bells!" It was Lancelot.

"Hey Lance! it's good to see you too!" Larry shakes the knights hands.

"Hey" Nick greeted the knight.

"Nick! You're a man now! It's incredible!" Lancelot hugs Nick.

"Yes! And you are still the Lance I saw seven years ago" Nick chuckles.

The Rexy & Trixie met up as well. Everything else in the museum came to life greeting Larry one by one. Teddy also agreed to Larry with a big hug "It's so wonderful to meet you again, Lawrence!"

"It's great to meet you too, Teddy. It's been so long but I'm glad I'm here now" Larry tried not to cry.

"Oh and Nick how are you? It's been so long, you're all grown up now you become a man!" Teddy hugged Nick.

"Hey Ted!" Nick hugs back.

"Larry!" It was Sacagawea.

"Wow! Your hair is down & I am glad to see you too!" Larry observes Sacagawea's hair change before he hugs her.

"GIGANTOR!" It was jedidiah shouting along with Octavius, Dexter, & Attila all together.

"Hey!" Larry smiled widely. Dexter climbs onto Larry hugging his neck.

"I missed you too buddy" Larry padded Dexter's back.

"It's been so long my friend! How are you?" Octavius asked.

"I'm fi–" Larry started coughing again.

"Eww" Jed & Octy steps away in disgust.

Larry continues after coughing "I'm fine. You two?" He referred to Jed & Octy.

"We are good!" Jedediah smiled.

Attila surprises Larry with a huge hug along with the Hun crying on his shoulder.

"Bi chamaig sanaj baina!"

"Aww, I missed you too" Larry hugs the hun back.

"We should all do something together since we have reunited with our most dearest friend, Larry Daley & his son Nick" Teddy announced.

"Lancelot has a perfect idea for us to start off with!" Lancelot smirks at Tilly. "Karaoke night!" Lancelot raises his sword in the air.

"OH YUH!" Tilly howled.

"I'm guessing you all did Karaoke more than once" Larry looks at Tilly.

"I introduced them to it & you won't believe how many of them have such nice voices!" Tilly squeals.

"DADA!" It was Laaa , the caveman.

"Laaa! Hey Laaa, missed me?"

"Dada!" Laaa hugged Larry tightly making him fall onto the floor.

"O-Okay, okay! T-Take it easy, I'm in my late 50's now. I missed you too"

Laaa helps set up karaoke with Attila & Laaa while Nick & Lancelot catches up. Along with everyone catching up with one another.

"So" Jedediah said.

"So" Octavius smiles at his cowboy friend.

"I-It's been awhile since we talked. How are you feeling about Gigantor visiting us for the first time in forever?"

"I'm glad he finally came to see us" Octavius sighs.

"Me too, I'm also happy to see you too" Jed smiled at his best friend.

"Awww, so sweet of you , Jedediah to miss me that much. It makes sense that when the sun goes down I'm the first person you look for" Octavius grins.

"M-Me? Sweet?" Jed couldn't help but smile and turn away, also blushing.

Larry was in the restroom washing his hands. He started coughing again but this time it was a very harsh rough cough. Larry held onto the sink coughing loudly then warm liquid came out his mouth, it was blood.
