Caron ran through the front door of her house with Mikael. "Sorry I'm late mom!!!!"

Lin looked at them from the kitchen and smiled widely. "Its quite alright dear, now wheres your cousin?" she asked. She was short and had long brown hair that was up in a ponytail at the moment. She had blue eyes as well that seemed to sparkle. She was wearing a pink shirt, jeans and an apron that said 'If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.' She noticed Mikael and grinned. "Oh is this the boy you've been going on about?"

Caron blushed. "MOM!!"

Caron's father, David, was in the livingroom laughing. He was wicked tall and had black hair with green eyes. He was also in jeans, but in a dark green t-shirt. He was watching the news.

Ryan ran into Caron and yelped. "Sorry I'm late Auntie..."

Lin laughed. "Its alright dear, besides, you always are."

Zim blushed and hid behind Ryan.

Mikael blushed brightly and bowed deeply in momentary confusion over right way to greet. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. My name is Mikael, Mikael Daigon, it's an honor to meet you."

Lin laughed. "Aww hes adorable!"

David looked at his wife. "Lin, your doing it again." he looked at Ryan. "Your brother is going to be late. Hes caught up at the office." David said.

Ryan nodded and sighed. "Wheres the two munchkins."

"Don't call my sisters munchkins." Caron growled.

"Toni and Reily are in the backyard playing princess again." Lin said as she cooked.

Caron turned to Mikael. "My little sisters. They're twins."

Ryan looked back at Zim and smiled softly. "You'll be okay."

Zim blushed and walked up to Ryan's aunt."N-Nice to meet you...I-I'm Zimia Horogashi."

Mikael nodded with a slightly nervous smile. "Okay, charming I'm sure."

Lin smiled. "My aren't you pretty! You must be Ryan's new girlfriend."

"Easy Lin. No thinking of grand neices and nephews yet..." David said.

Caron laughed. "Charming? They're obnoxious."

Ryan blushed. "AUNTIE!!"

Zim blushed brightly and looked at the ground."I-I'...pretty?"She was about to passout.Her last boyfriends parents hated her.

Mikael grinned. "Okay and well usually one thinks so when they're your own."

Caron nodded. "Your right. Lets go see them." she chuckled.

Ryan grumbled. "I'm gonna go change...." he said, walking to his room.

Lin smiled. "Yes, you are." she laughed lightly.

Mikael smiled and nodded. "Okay, fine by me."

Zim was still blushed."G-grand nieces and nephews??"

Lin laughed lightly and went back to cooking.

david got up and patted Zim on the shoulder. "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

Zim blushed and smiled alittle."Sorry.I'm very nervous around peoples parents....My ex's parents hated me."

Lin suddenly hugged her. "How can anyone hate you?! Your adorable!!"

David sighed. "Lin darling, don't suffocate the poor girl."

Zim meeped and blushed.

Lin let her go. "Sorry dearie..."

"Its okay."Zim smiled happily

Lin yelped. "Oh no!! I got side tracked! Oooooh I hope I didn't burn dinner!!"

David sighed. "It should be fine dear..."

"Would you like me to help you?"

"Ah no no no your a guest." Lin smiled. "Just make yourself at home."

"are you sure?"

Lin nodded. "Yes yes, I'm sure."

Zim nodded adn sat down on a chair.

Lin chuckled and continued cooking. "Chicken Marsala for dinner tonight."

"Whats chicken marsala?"Zim asked.

"Food." David answered, sighing.

Zim giggled adorably."You're funny."

David blinked. "Am I?"

"Yes."Zim smiled

David chuckled.

Zim smiled happily.

Caron led Mikael to the back yard. Two girls both with black hair and blue eyes were dressed up in dresses playing on a swingset. If they were wearing the same color dress, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Caron smiled. "Toni is in the blue dress and Reily is in the green one."

Mikael blinked. "Erh.... Hmmm... Ah! Now I see, it's difficult to see but if the sun hits right you can see the color difference."

Caron laughed lightly. "Hey Tori, Reily, come say hi."

Tori looked up and went down the slide and ran up to Mikael. "wooooooow!! He looks like a prince!!"

Reily followed her sister and nodded. "He does he does!!" she giggled.

Mikael blushed and smiled and kneeled down. "Thank you very much Hime-samas."

Tori giggled.

Reily looked up at him curiously. "Whats a hime-sama?"

Caron chuckled. "Gotta love six-year-olds..."

Ryan heard them all and laughed. "Hey, aren't I a prince too?"

Both girls shook their heads. "Nooo, your a troll!"

Mikael smiled. "Hime-sama is from where I am from a very honoring way of speaking to a princess, or in my case two of them."

"Ooooohh..."

Ryan blinked. "A troll?"

The girls nodded and giggled, skipping off.

Mikael smiled wide as he stood back up and turned to Caron. "They're just adorable."

Caron smiled and nodded. "They can be..."

Ryan was still flabbergahsted about being called a troll.

Mikael smiled. "Yeah I can imagine they're the sort that can be a handfull at times, though of what I've seen of them then I wouldn't mind babysitting them once in a while if the opportunity came up some time, oh and that I had the time for it with my studies and that..."

Caron smiled. "Thats not necessary. Mom works at home, so she keeps an eye on them."

Mikael smiled. "Well incase then you know where to turn." He said with a smirk.

Caron nodded. "Exactly." she chuckled softly.

Mikael grinned. "So, what should we do now? Weren't there something about you having to go to family dinner? Incase then I probably should leave I think, don't want to intrude on a family occation after all."

Caron smiled and shook her head. "No no, you can stay." she said, laughing lightly.

Mikael tilted his head as he looked at her. "Is something the matter?"

Caron blinked. "No, why?" she asked.

Mikael grinned. "You just seemed a little worried that's all."

Caron smiled softly. "Please, I'm alright, so don't worry about me." she said.

Mikael smiled. "Okay and well you seemed a bit worried, now that you weren't that another matter." He grinned. "Well shall we then?" He smiled and offered her his arm with a theatrical halfway bow.

Caron smiled and took his arm.

Mikael smiled back as he 'lead' her back to the kitchen.

Caron churred and smiled at her mom, sitting next to her Dad. She patted the seat next to her for Mikael.

David looked over at his daughter and then over at Mikael.

Zim blinked and looked around,whimpering."Ryan?"

Mikael blushed somewhat but tried to hide it and cleared his throat with a sort of cough then walked over to sit next to Caron.

Ryan came in, pouting.

Caron smiled softly. "Don't worry, Dad is harmless. Its mom you need to worry about..."

Zim smiled at him."Whats wrong Ryan?"
