"No, I didn't know that." Roni said with contempt in her voice. "But thanks for telling me. Next time I see a baby Dodo bird, I'll know exactly what to feed it, and how to feed it. Hey, will you look at that, we ran out of bread to feed to the birds. Guess we can go back to the White House now." "Fat chance. I'm just barely on the Dodo bird. We still have quite a few left." "I thought this little expedition was for us to get to know each other better. Not for me to learn all sorts of weird things about birds, things I've never wanted to know." "You're not having fun?" Elizabeth chuckled. "Yeah, I'm having a blast." "Now look at Annie over there, she has the birds eating out of her hands. She's having the time of her life." "That's cause she's not having to listen to this conversation. Uh oh, I did it again. I didn't mean to say that out loud. Just ignore me." "Okay, I will. So what bird did we do last? Oh yeah, the Dodo." ****************************** Sam, Josh, and CJ, along with their staff members had dealt with the newest crisis on the Carolina front in just a few hours, and it was now time that they could leave. As Sam was packing up his briefcase, he caught something moving towards his office out of the corner of his eye. When he looked up, he was delighted to see Mallory. "Hey!" He exclaimed as he walked over to her and kissed her. "I had a feeling you would be here." "Not for long. I'm done. I'm finished, and I was just on my way out." "Really? Then you can come with me." Mallory said smiling. "Where are you going?" "Shopping." "And you came to see if I wanted to come with you?" "Well, I was in the area. And I knew you would be here, so I thought I'd come relieve you from your duties, seeing how it is not office hours right now." "Shopping?" Sam said, his desire, or lack there of showing up in his voice. "No, not really. I just wanted to see what you would do. Really, I'm going to this play, and I happen to have an extra ticket." "A play?" that same desire found its way back into Sam's words. ****************************** "So, I hear you spent the day with Annie and Lizzy. Have fun?" Zoey asked as she cracked the biggest smile imaginable. "You told her to take me didn't you? You knew what she would do, if you didn't suggest for her to do it, and you told her to bring me with her, didn't you?" Demanded Roni as she gave a stern look towards Zoey. "Yes, I did." "You admit it? Zoey!!" "Yeah, I admit it. I thought it would be funny. You now know the real Elizabeth Bartlet." "You mean she's really like that? It wasn't all just for show and tell, to torture me?" "She's really like that. Why do you think Annie is so...so, well, nerdy? Or as dad likes to call it, precocious." "Annie's like that too? Gee, what kind of baby food were you guys fed?" Roni said sarcastically. "Well, I'm normal, so I don't think it was in the baby food." ******************************
