 | The next few days were filled with anticipation. Peaches couldn't wait to come back to the Pear Tree, hoping to get another glimpse of the mysterious Grendel. And then it happened. One day Peaches was sitting next to the Morning Glory when she heard the Lift coming down from the Grendel Tree. | |
 | And there he was. Peaches had never met a Grendel before. In spite of the terrible stories she had heard Peaches thought he was the most handsome Creature she had ever seen. He introduced himself as Gregor the Grendel and said that he was pleased to meet her. To her surprise he was cordial and polite. He was smart, too, with 36 lobes instead of the ordinary 9.

 | Gregor took Peaches to the gorgeous East Bay. They had a splendid afternoon riding across to the Island. | |
 | Gregor got her a stuffed animal from the vending machine. | |
 | They saw an art show, and Peaches was impressed at how knowledgeable Gregor truly was. | |
 | When it was time to go home they had a romantic ride on the submarine. | |
 | Just before she left, Gregor took her to a secret place where they could be alone. Peaches never felt happier in her life! | |
