Vincent drove them down the road in the van specifically designed to hold breeders and driders inside. It was one of his family vans, and also it was such a hassle hailing the Presidential limo, so he drove. People passed him by, and a few were able to take a picture with him at the stoplights while the red light was on.

Eventually, they were out of the city and onto the expressway that led them towards the Northern Coast towards the still modern mansion on the hill overlooking the said coastline.
"Tell us, Dad," Vince asked, "Who are we gonna meet?"

"Some of our friends and their families," Vincent I replied. "Their kids are as charming as you two are."

"We hope so!" Jamie replied, "I'm getting excited to meet them!" Her body shivered and jittered like jelly when pricked, while her wings vibrated quickly. That was her excited pose, and it made her lower breeder abdomen ripple.

...

They arrived at the front of the mansion, the very same mansion that witnessed two series of novels written by this Author. It was very modern, and its outdoor was decorated with maple wood, white fixtures, and silver steel additions. It was also thrice the size it was after the end of the Vacationers arc, having gone through so many renovations and upgrades.

"Do you think they'd accept me, knowing that I, like other breeders, am not wearing pants, Vincent?" Jamie asked.

"You're centaur-like, Jamie," Vincent II replied, "They will. But as for me, I'd be charged with public nudity and / or insanity."

Vincent I knocked thrice on the entrance doors. A few minutes later, a gentleman, now in the middle of adulthood, greeted them both with open arms.

"Ben!" both Vincent I and Nosci cried.

"Vincent! Nosci!" the man known as Ben cried in return, and he wrapped the male breeder and the human in a tight hug. "And these must be your children," he continued, "Vincent II and Jamie, how's the country going?"

"Alive and well!" the young President replied, "I just revamped the prison system so that it would be restorative instead of retributive, opened more jobs for them to work after jail time and more technical / vocational training inside."

"This must be the result of your experience in jail, no?" Ben asked.

"Yes sir," Jamie replied, "I am his closest secretary, First Lady, and Adviser, by the way."

Vincent II blushed.

"Anyway, your Auntie Quill will be happy to hear about it because --- newsflash --- crime rate has dropped to a tiny 0.008% and economy has increased by 357%," Benedict exclaimed, "You surely know how to run the country! Anyway, it is bad to leave you four out in the open. Have a step inside; I'm sure everyone would love to meet you."

They followed Ben inside the aesthetic mansion, where a group of adults of different races, namely Christian, Jessicca, CJ, Quilleanna, Quvarranna, Damien, Dardanelle, Thomas (Jamie's super rich foster dad), Seiryu, Jannassis and Mauvorin, greeted them with bright hellos and how-are-yous. Jamie and Vincent greeted the adults first and decided to chill with them for a little conversation in the  kitchen, which was raised by a single step.

Somewhere within the conversation, Jannassis told the two, "Hey, Mr. President and Ms. First Lady, you should meet our children as well!"

"Where?" Jamie asked.

"On the place we fondly call the 'sunken sala'," Quilleanna replied, "They're just playing cards at the table, and you should join them!"

"Okay," Vincent replied with a Japanese bow, and he led Jamie towards the receiving area.

"By the way, Vincent II," Christian and Jessicca called out, " Great job on the new law!"

"Thank you, Uncle Chris and Auntie Jess!" Vincent II and Jamie called out in return as they approached the area. Eyes suddenly turned to look at them.
