21-A LOVE THAT WILL LAST FOREVER

A LOVE THAT WILL LAST FOREVER The professor contacted the MINISTER OF CULTURE OF NEW MOUSE CITY. He got permission to take the MUMMY of Akhenraten back to Cairo, the capital of Egypt.

Since we helped find the missing papyrus, Professor Sandsnout asked all of us to join him. Even my friend Petunia Pretty Paws was allowed to come along. It was a long trip, but at last we arrived at the CAIRO MOUSEUM. Akhenraten's sarcophagus was taken to the HALL OF MUMMIES. It was placed next to Queen Nererati. Here are the sarcophagy Akhenraten and Neferat... finally together!

As the mummies were brought together, Professor Sandsnout spoke in a SOLEMN voice. "O kindhearted Akhenraten," he squeaked. "We have returned you to Egypt, the land where you were born, and placed you beside your beloved bride. May the two of you sleep peacefully for all eternity." I smiled. It was a great feeling to know that we had made the pharaoh's last wish come true. Beside me. Petunia Pretty Paws sighed. "How romantic." She beamed, grabbing my paw. "Um, er, yes," I agreed. I turned BEAT-RED. Oh, why was I such a bumbling mess around Petunia? Was it because she was so sweet? Was it because she was so cute? Was it because she didn't seem to notice

she was so sweet and cute and that I was a BUMBLING MESS? I was still trying to figure it out as we boarded the plane for home. Petunia sat next to me. I checked my seat belt ten times, then read the air safety manual from front to back. Did I mention I HATE flying? Luckily, Petunia didn't seem to notice. Ah, what a mouse! I Geronimo Stilton. am on this airplane... in fact, all of us are on this plane!
