Zoey would have a lot to write about when she did her "What I Did This Summer" report when school started. First there had been two new arrivals to the Defenders with Andy and Eiltin. Three if you counted Titan, who Zoey liked to call Big Green. Next came finding George and taking care of him. That lead to an adventure into space and beating Galactus.

Now it was a trip to Boston. Zoey loved taking trips and flying on airplanes, especially to places she never been before. Boston was a city she hadn't been to before and when Mom asked if she wanted to go, Zoey immediately said yes. Daddy had said he would show her around and she would get to meet her grandparents. Zoey never had grandparents before and thought it would be neat to meet them and get to know them.

The only downside was that she couldn't take George. She left him in her room and George assured her that he would be able to get his own food and take care of himself. Zoey didn't like leaving him, but she had no choice. She packed her own suitcase and backpack. She took clothes and some books to read on the plane. Her iPod and Nintendo DS were also put in her backpack.

Zoey read on the plane and also took a nap. They were in Boston in what seemed a short while. She started out the window as they were landing. The city looked pretty from the air and there was a lot of water. It was the Atlantic Ocean. Zoey had looked at the atlas before she left.

They collected their luggage and Zoey walked with her dad out of the airport. Holding his hand as was the rule when around a large number of people.

	"Well, do you like steak? That's what I hear we're having tonight. We usually have it when your grandfather comes home from a business trip." Avery says. "Tomorrow will be pizza night. I promise." Avery says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do," she answered. "Steak is good. Sarah grills it outside." "Okay. I don't have to have pizza. It was just a suggestion." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, Small Lady. I hope you'll like the steak Claudette does as well." Avery says. "So, are you excited about going back to school and seeing all of your friends again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoey nodded. "Yup! I'm more excited about my birthday!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, /that's/ what's happening next week, huh?" Avery asks, as if he didn't know. "I heard your birthday last year was pretty...eventful. What are you hoping for?" he asks. "And what kind of cake do you like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yup! It was scary too! Just a party with the Defenders. And Scotty. Strawberry or ice cream cake. We didn't get to have any last year." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, there will be cake this year. And no zombies or demons. Mommy and I took them off the invite list for this year." Avery tells her.

"By the way...let's not mention the zombies and demons to your grandmother or grandfather right away. They're kind of Muggles when it comes to magic and gods and stuff." Avery says, thinking to use a term Zoey will get immediately.

	"Oh, okay. So don't really mention the Defenders to them?" she asked to clarify. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-08-26 04:05 am UTC (link)
	"Right. We need to ease them into it, since they're not used to everyone like we are." Avery says. "Hey, did you know Grace's mom lives here in Boston, too?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-08-26 05:11 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." Zoey nodded. "Grace told me before we left. She told me her favorite spots in Boston." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would like to do some more riding," Zoey replied. "I don't get to ride since Svalin left." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Avery nods, mentally kicking himself. In his quest to make sure his daughter is having a good time, he knows that he's trying too hard to give her /everything/. He wants her to know she's got options, but it seems as though he's trying to suggest doing everything at once.

"Okay, honey. You can ride Ginger as much as you like while you're here." Avery says, eating another sandwich.

	Zoey grinned. "Thank you, Daddy." She gobbled up the rest of her sandwich. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After lunch, Avery lets Zoey get back on Ginger and they walk about, talking about all kinds of random things. Avery points out more landmarks from his childhood. "I think Ginger really likes you, Zoey." Avery says, considering something. Yes...that will do nicely, if he can pull it off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's a good horse," Zoey said as they approached the barn. Ginger stopped and Zoey dismounted. She patted Ginger's nose and lightly kissed it. "Thank you, Ginger." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ginger snuffles in response and looks at Zoey sadly, seeming to miss her already. "Well, Ah must say, Ah ain't never seen her act like this with anyone." Pete says. "You sure are somethin' special, Miss Zoey." he smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-08-28 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, she is, Pete. Yes she is." Avery says, leaning down to kiss his daughter on top of her head. "Okay, time to go get cleaned up and changed for dinner. If you need any help, you let me know." he tells her, leading her back to the house. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll be fine," she said. "I'm a big girl now. Can I call Mommy and tell her about Ginger?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-08-28 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course you can. I think there's enough time before dinner to do that." he smiles. "Get all cleaned up and I'll set up the laptop so you can call her as soon as you're done." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-08-28 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay!" With that Zoey raced up the stairs to her room to get cleaned up and changed. (Reply to this)(Parent)
