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.

"Oh, sweetheart, I would love to, but my schedule wouldn't let me leave town to come out to California right now." she says, thinking of all the meetings and committees that she's on.

But an idea comes to her.

"How would you like to have a pre-birthday birthday party? You and I could share that, if you wanted! That way we can both say that we had a party together." Angela suggests with a smile.

Zoey perked up. "Yes!" she shouted a little too loudly. "I'd like that a lot." Zoey paused for a moment and tilted her head in thought. "What do I call you?" she asked.

"Well, you are my granddaughter, but that's a little formal, so I'll call you Zoey. And you can call me Angela until you're comfortable calling me Grandmother." Angela smiles, touching Zoey's hand.

"In the meantime, we'll have the party in say...two days? That will give you and your father time to have fun together, and then we can have a party for the family." Angela says.

"Can I call you Grandma?" Zoey asked. "I've never had a grandma before. I think it will be neat to have one."

Zoey nodded. "Two days will work."

"Oh, of course you can!" Angela says, happy beyond words.

"I..." she hesitates, and a sad expression crosses her face for a moment, then vanishes. "I've never had a granddaughter, or a grandchild before, either. I think we'll have a lot of fun together.

Do you think your grandma could have a hug?" she asks.

"We will," Zoey said confidently as she jumped out of her chair and ran around the long table to her grandmother. She wrapped her arms around the woman and gave her a tight hug.

Avery watches this scene play out and is happy for both his mother and his daughter. Mom has fallen to the Zoey effect; he can only hope that Dad is similarly vulnerable.

Something tells him that's not going to be the case, though, so he steels himself for when does have to tell Dad.

"Me too," Zoey beamed. "Daddy took me riding today. Ginger is a very nice horse. Do you still ride, Grandma?"

"Oh, very rarely now, Zoey. I'm not young and spry like you anymore, but when I was a little girl...I used to ride and run around all the time." Angela says, her expression becoming far-off as if she remembers those days vividly.

"Ginger is a good girl and I hear that she likes you very much. Perhaps something can be done about this..." Angela says, placing a finger to her chin in thought.

"Peter says she does. If come out to California you can meet Snowflake. He's my horse. He's all white. You can meet the dogs too. We have three. Zelbar, Spenser and Finnegan. And there's a tiger too. And George."

Ooops. Was that something she shouldn't have said? She looked at Daddy for some guidance.

"No, Mom, she's not joking. She does actually have three dogs and a tiger." he says.

"Zoey, Mom loves the circus and tigers. She used to go all the time when she was your age." Avery says.

"Yup! He's not my tiger, but he lives with us. His name is Eyhvatr. He follows me and the dogs around. We play tag."

"You should come and meet him. And the dogs too."

Angela remembers a time when she ran freely with...no, she can't think about that now. Not with Zoey here.

"Do you have any brothers or sisters, Zoey?" Angela asks.

"Well, at the risk of not spoiling you much...we'll limit you to two treats a day here. We don't want your mom thinking we're trying to sweeten you up." Angela grins.

"What is your favorite color, Zoey? Mine is navy blue." Angela says.

Zoey grinned and hugged her. "Thank you."

Zoey had to think about it for a moment. "Pink. Definitely pink."

Angela hugs her granddaughter, enjoying the ability to be able to do so.

"Your Aunt Aurora loves pink! When she's here tomorrow, you'll have to talk to her about the stuffed animals she makes. She has many pink ones you might like." Angela says.

"What is your favorite day of the week?"
