First Floor Rec Room, evening

Not in the mood to watch TV, Meg wandered down to rec room to try out the piano. Sadly she was not particularly talented and was mostly limited to using one finger to plink out some Christmas carols and TV theme songs.

"Obviously. It sounds wonderful," Meg said sincerely. "Are you going to study music when you're done here?"

Penelope blushed. "Thank you, that's kind. But no, I wish to be a holticulturist."

"Really? That's neat. My only experience with plants is when my dad used to make us all help out in the garden," she told her, smiling at the memory. "It wasn't a very good garden. But he had fun with it."

"I never was able to have a garden. I had and have several terrariums," she replied. "But here, I'm able to walk outside and enjoy it."

"Did you live in the city?" Meg asked, thinking that could be one reason for not having a garden.

"London," she nodded. "But... I wasn't allowed out of my home." Not even to play outside.

"Oh," she said quietly, finally putting two and two together. "That sucks."

"It did," she grinned. "Being here has changed that."

She paused.

"Why did you come here?"

Meg had felt confined in the White House, but somehow that didn't compare. "I can't even imagine."

"There's more privacy here. Where I'm from," she explained, "My mom is kind of important so the press would follow me around a lot, pretty much waiting for me to screw up. It's easier here."

"Not too much different from me," she replied quietly. "The public, press... they get a look at me and go crazy. The cursed heiress," she quoted, "is a monster."

A beat. "Who is your mom?"

[I'm about to drop. Sp ok?]

"The press doesn't have a clue," Meg said darkly.

"Mom's the President of the United States."

[But of course!]
