Once Roni was situated in her room, she decided to make a phone call.

"Hey lady, is pipsqueak there?" Roni said to the female who answered
the phone.

The lady in turn shouted, "Piper, phone, it's some homeless spaz
child."

"Talk about a blast from the past. But, I'm sorry to say, we no
longer donate to the homeless spaz children of the world, now that
they've made it to the White House and all," said a male voice on the
other end of the telephone.

"Well, seeing how I'm not in the White House right now, but rather a
short thirty minute drive from where you are…." Roni began, but
was cut off.

"What? Where are you? And why are you there?" responded the male
voice.

"I stowed away on Air Force One, it was coming to California."

"That's right, I forgot, the President is supposed to come here for a
few days."

"Yeah. So now I'm thinking you need to be the one nick-named spaz
child, except I really like calling you pipsqueak."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I spazzed out on you. It just took me a very
very long time to get you to go to your real family, and I don't want
to see you ruin a good thing."

"I've always appreciated a good thing when it comes my way, and I
never give myself the chance to mess with it. You're the one that
goes around ruining good things."

"Oh yeah, I forgot, so sue me," said the male voice.

"Naw, I'd rather just come visit you, what do you say? I have lots
of free time, and I'm no more than a thirty minute drive," stated
Roni, as Jed and Abbey knocked on the open door. Upon drawing Roni's
attention, they entered the room.

"Hey pipsqueak, I gotta go now, but I'll be there before the hours
up, so change out of those rags you're in. Later. " Roni said, as
she hung the phone up. Now turning towards her parents, "What's up?"

"We were just curious what you were going to do in your free time,
cause we were planning on going to a restaurant, and wondered if
you'd like to come," answered Abbey.

"Sorry, I just made plans with someone."

"With pipsqueak? Do we know her?" asked Jed.

"Apparently you don't know pipsqueak, cause her is a him."

"Would this be the same him that you are best friends with, and the
same him that made you come find us?" questioned Abbey.

"Yup, that'd be pipsqueak. Of course his real name Is Piper Reed,"
responded Roni, "I told him I was in town, and was planning on
hanging with him, if you don't mind."

"I don't mind, but I would like to meet him, and I know your mother
probably would like to as well," Jed said, looking over to Abbey who
shook her head.

"You'll have to meet his wife too."

"He's married?" Jed asked.

"Yeah, his wife's name is Kat, Katherine, I call her Kat lady. And
it'll have to wait till later, or perhaps tomorrow, or something."

"Why?" Jed and Abbey both asked.

"Because you two are going to dinner now, and I am going to his house
now. So you can't meet him now, cause you'll be late for your
reservations. You did make reservations right? Besides, he'd
probably like some kind of warning, that he'd be meeting the otuses."

"The otuses?" Jed and Abbey repeated, both very confused.

"Oh, that's right, you two don't share pipsqueak and my, uh,
vocabulary. Otuses, stands for POTUS and FLOTUS, see both of those
have otus in common, therefore otuses. And don't worry, when we made
that term up, you weren't an otus yet dad," Roni answered the still
very puzzled couple standing in front of her.

"Okay, well, we have reservations, and you told your friend that you
were going to meet him, so I suggest we all better get going. "

"Yeah, pipsqueak probably has his head starring out the window,
waiting for me. You two have a cool time," Roni said turning to her
parents, as she locked her door and started walking towards the exit,
as they walked towards their room, to get ready for their dinner.
