Peter pushed the door and walked in. Finally, he was home. What a day it had been. But the vision of Neal and Mozzie reading a book immediately lifted his mood, bringing a smile to his face.
“And then, they covered it up by getting rid of the whole filming crew,” Mozzie was saying.
“What do you mean, getting rid of them?” Neal asked.
Peter frowned. “Yes, what exactly do you mean?”
Both looked up at him.
Neal slid down from the sofa and ran to give a hug to his father.
“Dad!”
“Hello, Pumpkin,” Peter said, lifting him in his arms and kissing him on the forehead. “What were you two little crooks doing?”
“Uncle Mozzie was reading me a book about the fake moon landing?”
“The fake moon landing?!”
Mozzie hastily got up from the sofa and grabbed his shoulder bag. “And I believe this is my cue to leave.”
Peter put Neal down and placed himself between Mozzie and the door and put his hands on his hips.
“We had a deal,” he said accusingly.
Mozzie turned around and walked to the back door, but in two strides, Peter caught up with him.
“No more babysitting.”
“Oh, please, Suit!”
Peter shook his head. “We had a deal. I let you babysit my son, but no conspiracy theory.”
“This is not a conspiracy…” Mozzie started, but Peter’s killer look made him stop. Mozzie raised his hands in sign of peace. “I’m sorry, Suit, it won’t happen again.”
Peter pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath. “Fine. But no more dubious reading.”
Mozzie lit up. “Thank you, Suit! See you around!”
Peter sighed. “Bye Mozzie.”
After Mozzie left, Peter turned to his son. “Don’t ever listen to Uncle Mozzie’s crazy theories.”
“Why did they pretend we went to the moon, Dad?”
Peter rolled his eyes. “We went to the moon, Neal. We sent eighteen men to the moon!”
“How do you know it’s real?”
Peter grinned. “I’m going to prove it to you.”
After almost an hour long drive, they finally arrived at destination.
“Last stop, everyone off the Burkemobile.”
“Where are we going, Dad?”
Peter parked the car and Elizabeth got off to open the door for Neal. “We’re going to the Museum!”
“See paintings?”
Neal took his parents’ hands and walked between them to the entrance of the Hall of Science.
“No paintings,” Peter said. “This one is about Science. I want to show you something.”
After they bought their entrance tickets, Peter led the way to the Space exploration exhibit, on the second floor. He pointed to Neal to a small stand where a thick spherical case was protecting a dark piece of rock.
“Look, Neal, this is a piece of the moon.”
Neal’s eyes widened with wonder. “For real?”
“Yes, for real. Astronauts went to the moon and brought it back.”
“It looks like a normal rock. How do you know it’s from the moon?”
“Scientists analyzed it. They certified it’s from the moon.”
“That’s so cool.”
“And here,” Peter continued, pointing at another case, “is a piece of Mars.”
“Mars?”
“Yes, it’s a meteorite. It fell on Earth thousands of thousands years ago.”
“Look, Dad, a robot!”
“That’s the replica of a robot that is on Mars right now.”
“So cool!”
Elizabeth slid an arm around Peter’s waist. “Suit 1, Mozzie 0.”

Date: 2016-01-24 01:00 am (UTC)since Tiffani Thiessen had her birthday yesterday - Peter and the two Neals rally together to give her an unforgettable (in every meaning of the word) birthday.
Winterwonderland (don't know if you had that already - got inspired by the winter storm "Jonas" wreaking havoc in the area) New York is covered in snow, and the extended Burke family is in for a fun day in the snow - Satchmo included.
Neal & Neal: it's Neal C.s turn in babysitting his namesake - and everything is game. (just the two, maybe with Satchmo, spending some quality time together, hatching a plan or two)
I'll PM you if more ideas come to my mind, okay?

Date: 2016-01-24 01:27 am (UTC)I do have an idea about Neal and Neal. I could actually see it happening during some babysitting time.
Winterwonderland sounds fun too! Maybe Little Neal's first snow.
And yes,feel free to PM me. :)
