Shouts and cheers greeted Sharon when she stepped into the condo, followed by thuds that caused her to wince. She briefly questioned if leaving Andy alone with their grandsons had been a good idea, but she shrugged it off as she carried the few bags of groceries and their lunch into the kitchen.

"Lord Grandpa Andy, I spotted the Lady Grandma Sharon!" Mark shouted. "Go save her from the evil dragon!"

She heard a loud growl and turned to see Rusty coming down the hallway. She raised an eyebrow and her youngest offered a small shrug. "They needed a dragon and convinced me to be it," he explained.

"Quick, Lord Grandpa Andy, you have to save Lady Grandma Sharon!" Charlie added, jumping up and down on the couch.

Sharon set the bags on the kitchen table and looked to her husband and grandsons, smiling widely. Andy kneeled on the ground with a blanket tied around his neck as a cape and a paper crown on his head. Both boys stood on the couch with their own capes and paper swords, swinging them in the direction of Rusty the Dragon.

"I've gotta play up the part." She heard Rusty's voice, but she didn't process his words until he wrapped his arms around her and gently started pulling her backwards.

"Rusty!" She let out a soft yelp despite herself, her hands grabbing on to his arms as she looked at Andy and the boys. "Help!"

"Hurry, Lord Grandpa Andy!" Mark cried, tossing his sword to Andy.

"Save her before the evil dragon eats Lady Grandma Sharon!" Charlie added, throwing his sword toward Rusty. It barely made it over the couch.

"Oh, no!" Andy jumped up with Mark's sword, his cape swishing behind him with his movement.s "I'll save you, Lady Grandma Sharon!"

He started around the couch, but Mark reached out and grabbed his cape. "No," he cried, "you have to leap like you're on a horse, Grandpa Andy!"

Andy hesitated and then nodded solemnly. "You're right, Mark."

He turned back and started leaping toward Sharon and Rusty, none of them able to maintain their composure. It only took a few leaps for him to reach them, immediately tapping both of Rusty's arms with his sword.

"You're free, Lady Grandma Sharon!" he declared, watching as Rusty fell back and feigned his death. "Come back with me to my castle to meet my wonderful knights. They helped me find you."

He dropped his sword on Rusty and dramatically swished his cape before he scooped Sharon up. She immediately smacked his arm and whispered, "You're going to hurt yourself, Andy!"

He grinned and ignored her, and instead pressed a kiss to her cheek and carried her into the living room. He laid her on the couch and the boys cheered, their capes swishing all over Sharon where she remained on the couch.

"Lady Grandma Sharon needs a crown and a cape now too!" Charlie immediately rushed to the pile of blankets in the corner while Mark grabbed some paper off the table.

"And a sword!"

"Mark, why do I need a sword?" Sharon asked, smiling widely.

"In case the evil dragon comes back," Mark answered seriously.

"I'm sure he's dead. I killed him good," Andy grinned and gestured to Rusty still on the ground.

Charlie gasped. "What if the evil king from next door tries to kidnap Lady Grandma Sharon?"

"Oh, then I will need a sword. Quick as you can, please!" She laughed and sat up, accepting the blanket Charlie tied around her neck as her own cape.

Mark brought her crown and sword over a moment later, kneeling to offer both to her. Sharon took them, resting the crown on top of her head and gently holding the sword. She looked to Andy and smiled. "Lord Grandpa Andy, I think these knights of ours deserve a proper thank you."

"I agree. What are you thinking, Lady Grandma Sharon?"

"A proper knighting first and then a feast in their honor." She heard both boys gasp and managed to keep her laugh silent. "Kneel before me," she told them.

Mark and Charlie knelt in front of her and she stood up, gently touching the sword to each of their shoulders in turn. They giggled and held their capes close, sharing looks with each other. Behind her, she heard Rusty stand up and lean over the couch to watch.

"I now knight you both as Sir Mark and Sir Charlie," she declared, a large smile crossing her face. "And now, we eat!"

The boys cheered and jumped up, both rushing to grab their swords off the ground and then to their place at the table. Andy wrapped his arm around Sharon beneath her cape and kissed her cheek.

"Well done, Lady Grandma Sharon," he murmured.

"You're the one who did all the rescuing. I merely provided the feast."

"Oh, but we both know that's what they're really enjoying." He laughed and she rested her head against his shoulder as they walked into the kitchen.
