The weekend was getting close. Johnny and Mama did have the chance to meet Richie, Chachi and the Fonz. Both Mama and Johnny saw that Fonzie looked like a very interesting character to meet, and it turned out that they were right about meeting the Fonz.

"You must be Johnny. We've been hearing so much about you two," Richie said.

Even Johnny did his best to be polite with these characters. Mama was happy to see Johnny did just fine on introductions.

"Mrs. C., how long do your friends plan to stay here in Milwaukee?" Chachi asked.

"Just until Sunday, Chachi. It's Johnny's birthday this weekend," Marion answered.

Johnny looked at Mama. He asked these questions to himself where the names Chachi and Fonzie were, but Mama didn't want him to be rude. He didn't want Mama to ask that kind of questions while Fonzie and Chachi were around. That would be rude, as Mama would say.

"You're pretty quiet, Johnny. Is there anything wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing's wrong, Mama. Just thinking is all."

"Would you care to share with us, Johnny?" Fonzie asked.

"No, that's fine. Maybe I don't want to share."

"That's fine. If it's something personal, you don't have to share if you don't want to."

Johnny saw Fonzie rolling his eyes. He did that because people who are Johnny's age never calls his mother that.

"Arthur, would you like a piece of pie while you're still here?" Marion asked.

"What kind of pie is it, Mrs. C.?"

"Cherry pie," was the answer.

Everyone else were severed a piece also. That way Fonzie wouldn't be the only one. If he was the only one, everybody else had felt left out. Marion is usually pretty good at having people have the equal amount so they would be even, which made sense.

Richie spoke just then.

"So, Johnny, why don't you tell us a little about you?"

Richie asked this question is because he wanted to know Johnny before he and Mama were ready to head back home.

"I like food, the outdoors, women, my mama, television, and Christmas."

Richie and his friends saw Johnny didn't bother bringing up Susie and Carl's names.

Fonzie liked the word Johnny used, which was women.

"You said a very cool word that you had on your list, Johnny. Tell us that word again," Fonzie told Johnny.

"Which word was that?"

When Fonzie heard Johnny say the word women, that's when he saw that was the thing he and Johnny had in common. Johnny didn't want to tell these strangers everything, so he only mentioned a few of them.

"You said the word women. That's why it's a very cool word."

Joanie agreed.

"Johnny, you and Fonzie have something in common."

"What's that?"

Johnny looked at Joanie when she was talking to him. He never knew Joanie is in a relationship with Chachi. He didn't bother bringing the subject up since it can be personal.

"Joanie's right, Johnny. You and I do have something in common."

Fonzie wanted to use the word shortcake, but didn't want to say it in front of Johnny, which makes a lot of sense.

"What's that?"

Johnny still couldn't pronounce Fonzie's last name, so he didn't bother trying.

"I've always liked girls myself. I still do."

"That's cool. Do you still date?" Johnny asked Fonzie.

"Not anymore. I'm married now and have a daughter and son."

"That's good, Arthur," Mama told him.

There was no way Johnny was going to share with these guys is he always had trouble with girl, even if it means Mama. He never shared much about it with his own mother, which made a lot of sense. He never heard from these strangers that Potsie and Ralph were like that during high school. He doesn't need to know that, so he stayed out of it.

Chachi decided now was his turn to ask Johnny a question.

"Johnny?"

"What?"

"Do you have any brothers and sisters?" Chachi asked.

"No. Just me."

"Oh."

"This is your first time here in Milwaukee?" Richie asked.

Johnny nodded and answered, "Yes, it is."

Joanie decided to ask a question.

"I haven't asked this yet, Johnny, but do you live in a house or apartment?"

"House."

Everyone chatted for about another hour. Then Fonzie, Joanie and Chachi left.

Richie and Lori Beth left about almost an hour before Chachi, Joanie and Fonzie did.

"Joanie, you can stay with us tonight," Marion told her.

When she finished saying that, everyone heard lightning and thunder coming its way.

"Were we expecting any rain?" Howard asked.

"I didn't hear anything, Howard."

"We haven't had rain back home for a while, Marion. Maybe it'll happen when we return. Are you ready to head on up to bed, Johnny?"

"Yes, Mama."

Both Johnny and Mama thanked Marion and Howard for tonight, and then headed up the stairs.
