Christmastime in Florida

Ten year old Chloe Calls was in her room packing a suitcase. Just then, her grandparents appeared in the doorway.

"Heading out soon?" Grandma Calls asked.

"I plan to meet Splinter and the turtles at the lair as soon as I'm packed," Chloe replied.

"Have a good time," Grandpa Calls said.

"Please tell Grandma and Grandpa Steps that my husband and I say hello," Grandma Calls said.

"Please call when you get there," Grandpa Calls said.

"I'll do that," Chloe said and her grandparents wrapped their arms around each other and released each other a couple minutes later. After her grandparents left the room, Chloe finished packing her suitcase.

In the lair, the turtles and Splinter had just finished packing for their trip. They were putting their stuff in the Zippy Shellmobile when Chloe entered with a suitcase.

"Miss Calls, it was nice of you to allow my sons and I on this trip," Splinter said.

"We're looking forward to meeting your maternal grandparents," Leo said.

"Are we going in the Zippy Shellmobile?" Chloe asked.

"Actually, we are," Donny replied.

"That's what I thought," Chloe said.

"Can't wait to spend time on the beach," Mikey said.

"Chloe, will that even be possible?" Raph asked.

"It should be," Chloe replied. "Grandma and Grandpa Steps own a beach house and they go down to the beach even at night."

"Do they go in the water?" Splinter asked.

"Not unless they put on their life vests," Chloe replied. "They always swim together when they go out at night."

"Isn't that dangerous?" Donny asked.

"As far as I know, they stay near the area where their beach house is," Chloe explained. "They put on a light before heading outside."

"How do you know all this?" Raph asked.

"My maternal grandparents and I write to each other about our lives," Chloe replied. "They were pretty upset when I wrote that Mom and Dad were killed in a fire but they were pleased that I was going to live with my paternal grandparents."

"We should get going," Leo suggested.

"Florida, here we come," Mikey said with a grin.

Splinter, Chloe, and the turtles got in the Zippy Shellmobile. After getting the destination from Chloe, Donny entered it into the computerized steering wheel and the Zippy Shellmobile started moving.
