## Synopsis

## Plot

After his experience with Bill Clinton, Bush discovers that that he left love bites on him, with one of them on his neck being visible. He asks his daughter, Jenna, if she can help him with something. He hesitates showing her her, but she she's the mark, asks what it is. He begins to explain, but she interrupts him, believing that her mother was the one behind it. She begins to put makeup on the area, and they talk.

***" "Why do you have to put it on your arm? Is it to match it with my face?" Jenna nodded. "Yep, we don't really have the same skin color so I have to see which one fits you the best if you really want to hide this." He did, for obvious reasons, it was a hickey that wasn't caused by Laura." - The Difference Between Pierce and Jenna***

This was the first time since they had moved into the White House (which would have been two years), since the pair have really talked. In his own thought, it "felt nice to know that she was doing this and not asking questions." Bush then asks about the Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, and if she came by the White House with them.

***"Did the Clinton's kid ever stop by? What was her name? Charlotte? Chloe?"***

***Jenna gave a moderate sigh, the man whom she thought his dad was best friends with didn't even know the name of his kid, his one kid. He could name her and her sister and tell them apart.***

***"Chelsea. And no, she didn't."***

He then asks how does she like it here, citing how her sister doesn't. Jenna then goes on to talk about Pierce. She says her sister is weird, but she likes living in Washington. Her father comes to his youngest daughters aid, saying she isn't weird, and that she does her own thing. Jenna contrasts this by saying though she loves her sister, but she stays in her room all day and is always angry. Her father says it's a phase, and it would pass, Jenna doesn't believe this.

She gets done with the makeup, the mark is no longer visible. He tells her how good it is, then wonders how many times she had done this in the past, alluding to Jenna possibly having a boyfriend. She denies this, and she kicks her dad out of her room.

The Clintons were staying another day, George begins to worry about the possibility of Vladimir Putin showing up. He also begins to think about Tony Blair. He would have called Blair to help him with the State Of The Union speech, but by this point, it was almost done. As Bill was sitting in his office, Bush asked when was the last time he had talked to Tony. Bill says he hasn't talked to him since 1998. In this chapter, it's 2002. Bush takes this as a reason to call him right there.

Bill is openly against it but George was already on the phone with him, on speaker. He tells him that someone is here to talk to him, Tony asks who it is, Bush says Bill, and they start talking. Their interaction is insanely awkward, and forced. Tony reveals his newest child to his family, Bill explains how his daughter has moved out and has her own place. After another long silence, Tony asks to speak to George again, then Bill explains how George could hear him the entire time.

They hang up, Bill gets angry and asks why did he call him so suddenly. George explains that they needed to talk.

***"I haven't talked to that man in four years. Four. Now when I did, you made it awkward." - Bill Clinton***

George asks him multiple times why he didn't want to talk to him, but he doesn't answer. They are interrupted by Hillary knocking on the door, saying that Laura had made dinner.

Karl and Condi were keeping themselves busy by piling their work on top of each other, a ritual similar with how Condi and Rumsfeld worked when they first met. The two talk while doing their work and listening to the radio in the room. For Condi, it felt nice to know that one of her co-workers wasn't an "asshole". They ask each other about how they like their jobs, both giving positive responses. To her, Karl seemed nice when you got to talk to him, though sometimes his mood/stress could be projected onto other. She asks if she can ask him something, he's all ears.

While Bill and George were making their way to the dining room, Jenna was rushing back and forth between rooms, George especially took in the fact that she was dressed nicer than usual. He asks where she's going, she says to a party, and will be home late. To George, it looked like she was going to a movie premiere rather than a party. (She was actually wearing a rose gold dress that was cut down the middle accompanied by a white purse.) He asked who she's going with, before Bill interjects, saying she could go, and her curfew is 12:30.

Karl is shocked at what Condi says. They both hate Cheney. Karl reveals that Cheney meddles in his work and brags about how he knows about things before he does. He also adds that he calls him names, but she doesn't really care about it. One of the key things that he says is that Cheney says that he should have to do his job, Karl explains to Condi that unwanted tension is there, but it isn't normal tension, it's sexual. Condi doesn't take this too seriously, and contemplates leaving the room. He gives an example on how Cheney acts about something that concerns Bush. Karl ends it by saying:

***"I'm not saying that he's gay, or that I'm gay, dear god, I'm not. My point is, something is going on between them for him to act like that towards the both of us."***

Laura fixes dinner for the group. She's glad that Pierce is finally eating again. Bill asks her about this, to which she replies that she's isn't and wasn't starving herself, and that she didn't get hungry, and just didn't eat. Hillary sides with Bill. saying that's the way to keep her healthy. Pierce gets up and leaves the table. Her parents discuss what they're going to do with her, and they might have "alternate rock" for a child. She comes back, asking where her sister is. George reveals that she went to a party, and nonchalantly (and indirectly) reveals that she went by herself. Pierce is angered by this, since she isn't able to go to the nearby gas station to get a drink without secret service members. George tells her that she does have secret service members accompanying her, but this still doesn't deter her emotions. Pierce then says that she (Jenna) gets to do whatever she wants and she doesn't. George rebuts this and says she is able to do multiple things but just doesn't do them. All emotions break loose when Pierce asks, "Are you saying that I don't have friends? That I don't have a life?"

She gives a monologue at the table directed at her father, outlining that Jenna is more favored by her parents, and that only Bill and Condi Rice pay her any attention. She also gets on her mother for exhibiting the same behavior as her father. She gives the following text while standing:

> You give Jenna the world, and I will give you the benefit of the doubt, it isn't just you, it's mom too! You give her all of this love and attention, but none to me, why? I understand that it may be hard having twins, and having to sort out birthday things because we're born on the same day, but dad, you didn't say anything to me. The only two people, and I'm surprised that the number is that high, but the two people who have showed me any form of attention are Ms. Condoleezza and Mr. Clinton, both of whom aren't even related to me! They don't even live here! I never wanted to be here. I never wanted you to become a politician! That's why I don't like being in this family! At all! You guys love to act as if I'm deaf, because I hear everything you say about me. Saying that you're going to have 'alternate rock' for a daughter is a complement, sort of. None of this is said about Jenna. Is it because she's your perception of a perfect daughter? Is it because I'm not exactly like her? Is it because I am not a direct copy of my twin sister? Because Mr. Clinton seems to get it!

She runs out of the room crying with her father desperately trying to get her to come back. He tries to follow her but Bill stops him and tells him to give her some time to cool off.
