Visiting Part 2
Giselle wheeled down the hall. "Things have changed a lot since you left. Deedee still functions. She's a hit at the college."
Julian paused.
Aaron asked. "Who's Deedee?"
"The old Nintendo 64," Julian replied. "I think she had a crush on me."
Giselle laughed. "I think she's found someone new. A TV. Or at least that's what Brighton says." Awkward silence. "A tall lamp?" More silence. "Oh, he works at the college. He and I are good friends."
Giselle approached a laptop computer sitting on a table. "Meet Ellie." Ellie blinked. "Master's personal laptop."
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Ellie said. "You must be the old vacuum that used to live here." She glanced at Aaron. "And a...
"Spouse?" Giselle said.
Aaron laughed. "I guess you could say that.
Giselle watched as the two vacuums got on the golf cart and rode out of sight.

Vonda looked out the storage closet door.
"I'm sure they'll be back," Lenore said. "I know them."
A few minutes later, Gilbert blasted his horn.
"Okay, the joyride's over," Gilbert said. Aaron and Julian wheeled inside the Vacuum Brigade's base.
"Did you have fun?" Lulu asked.
Herbert nudged Lulu. "Should you tell them that you and Surf went on a date?"
Lulu blushed. "He found a way to get on one of the roller coasters." A pause. "The kiddie one right by the swing ride."
