Disclaimer: I don't own Night at the Museum or any of it's characters and historical figures. I only own Viola.
I don't understand why people don't love history. History binds people from all walks of life together and always has something that people hold dear to them. Its not just names of people long gone and dates of the events that occurred in the past, it's so much more than that.
My name is Viola Daley, and I'll probably be your future history teacher. I work as the night guard for the Museum of Natural History in New York. I absolutely love my job, I knew I would when I first witnessed history come to life when my dad brought me and Nick to work one night, that was two short years ago.
You've probably heard of my dad, Larry Daley of Daley Devices. Yeah, thats him! America's newest over-night success story; its hard to believe he went from being a night guard to a CEO of a booming corporation. I think he finds it hard to believe too. I know its not my place to say, but ever since he stopped working at the museum he hasn't been as happy. I know he misses it, I just can't bear to tell him how much the exhibits miss him as well.
Oh, one more thing you should probably now about dad and I. I'm not really his biological daughter, he took me in around the same time he started working at the museum. He was a very close friend of my family, and he was always like a second father to me. After my parents died, I was left in his custody and he became my full-time father.
I just recently found out about the museum changing around its exhibits. I tried to do something about it for the sake of my friends, but lets face it, I'm not my dad. Dad has the persuasive skills to persuade and convince the strongest of nonbelievers. I barely even had the courage to try to argue and persuade Dr. McPhee into reconsidering a decision like my dad does. I'm not that convincing; I gave it my best, but nothing could be done about it. And I didn't have the heart to tell Dad the bad news, things were just starting to go his way for once.
