3rd Person's POV
"No one comes here anymore. Besides, I took this tour in second grade, Daley." One of Nicky's friends said as they walked into the museum.
"I'm telling you, my dad's gonna hook us up," Nicky said.
"Mr. Daley?" Dr. McPhee called him over.
"Yeah?"
"Foam."
"Yes, I know."
"In the Neanderthal display."
"There was an incident last night with the fire extinguisher. I was on my way to go clean it up."
"Okay, don't bother. You're fired."
"I don't think we're getting a tour today." Nicky's friend said.
"Your dad just got canned, dude." The other boy said.
"Excuse me? Mr. McPhee? Excuse me, Mr. McPhee? Can I talk to you about this, please? Sir?" Larry asked following Dr. McPhee to his office.
"What?" Dr. McPhee snapped.
"I know I screwed up, but I finally understand how to do this job."
"You obviously don't."
"No, I didn't, but now I do. Really, Mr. McPhee..."
"Doctor." Dr. McPhee corrected Larry.
"Dr. McPhee. Can you please give me one more night?"
"One more night." Dr. McPhee agreed with him.
"Okay, thank you."
"And if anything is the tiniest... ...after your shift: Because...Got it."
"Okay?" Larry asked confused.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice..."
"Shame on me." Dr. Mcphee looked at him confused. "Fool me... Shame on me."
"You. Fool me twice..."
"Got it."
"Take it or leave it."
"Okay. Thank you." Larry said again.
Larry finally left the museum changed back into his street clothes and started his walk to Erika's house to pick up Nicky. He got there and knocked on the door and she answered.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey."
"What's wrong?" Larry asked seeing Erika distressed.
"Maybe you should ask Nicky." She said and Larry went inside and to Nicky's room to find him sitting by his windowsill looking upset.
"Hey, buddy. What's going on?"
"You got fired," Nicky stated.
"What are you talking about? I didn't get fired."
"I came to the museum this morning. I saw your boss yelling at you."
"Why didn't you tell me? Everything's fine. We just had a little misunderstanding."
"Why?"
"It's hard to explain. I mean, you wouldn't bel... You know what? Let me show you."
"Show me what?"
"Come to work with me tonight."
"Larry? Can I talk to you for a second?" Erika asked motioning him out into the hallway.
