Summer vacation meant one thing to Penny - deciding where she wanted to visit and hoping that Mom and Dad let her go. This year she wanted to visit the Avengers mansion and coast on Grandma Jen's membership. Sit by the pool, work out in the training room that could handle a person who turned green on every so often, maybe get into some clubs and dance. With guys. Not that she would mention /that/ part to Dad.

After a call ahead to make sure there was room for her and it wouldn't inconvenience the household staff if she spent a week or two, she was popped into the Avengers kitchen by Mom. She immediately went to the refrigerator. First order of business - make peach iced tea.

Bobby had been plotting and planning, but he had to wait until the right moment to enact those plans. November finally rolled around and he took some time to get everything ready. He just hoped that Veronica and Miranda would like this.

He was going to take just Veronica, but he didn't want to put any pressure on her or make it awkward for her so he decided to make it an outing with two of his favorite ladies in the entire world. This way it can be just the three of them out and about.

Bobby gathered the necessary items. A picnic basket filled with sandwiches, drinks and snacks. A thermos of hot chocolate and one filled with hot tea. A big thick blanket to sit on and an extra one just in case it got too chilly. When everything was ready and packed in Gwen's trunk, Bobby went looking for his two favorite ladies.

What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad
