"Takeshi, are you comming with us?" Melody asked the blind apprentice, as she brushed her sisters hair. Melody was wearing a simple yellow dress and her hair was tied up, the same as always. Sky was wearing a white dress with purple roses at the bottom. Takeshi was sitting on Sky's bed with Ruby on his shoulder. He was wearing something similar to a chef's outfit but it had a few changes, here and there.

"Alex said that we were going 'cuz we had to cook lunch for you. So yeah I guess I'm going." Sky looked at him and smiled.

"Rose is comming too, but Devil has to work with John today. He left real early, right Melody?" Melody tugged at her sister's hair.

"Yeah, he left before sunrise, Jonhn is teaching him how to take care of the animals today. Will you quit turning your head? It makes it a little harder to brush your hair." sky did stop turning her head and Melody braided her hair with few strands coming out.

"Mel, you don't have to be so rough, Sky's just excited. Right Ruby?" Takeshi looked to the small fairy on his shoulder.

"Yup! It's not everyday you get to meet your grandfather for the first day!" Ruby rested on top of Takeshi's head.

"Oh Shush! Your only agreeing with Takeshi because you like him!" Melody snapped back. Ruby suddenly blushed.

"Na uh! Shi Shi is my friend!" She denied.

"Then how come you never hang out with me anymore? And how come you're always with Shi Shi?"

"Melody, relax. I am excited though and it's cute that Ruby has a crush on Takeshi" Sky got up and sat next to her friend.

"It's okay Ruby, your are cute, but it's just a crush so you should wait until you meet another....guy" Takeshi told the blushing fairy. She just nodded her head.

"Are you all ready?" Ariel walked in to see the very wierd scene. A fairy blushing, an angry Melody, an embarrassed Takeshi, and a giggling Sky. "I'm not going to ask. Come on, your father and brother have already got onto the ship"

"Your grandfather lives over seas?" Takeshi questioned.

"More like under" Melody mumbled.

"Dad this is so cool!" Leaf was running around the deck of the ship watching people work and was waiting for his father to give him a lesson on sailing a ship. Eric laughed. They were both enjoying the day. Eric could finally teach Leaf so many things, and to be honest, the kid was a fast learner. Leaf was happy that he actually had a father. There was nothing worth missing back in his old home.

"Eric, are we ready to go?" Ariel asked her husband as she got on board with her daughters and their friend.

"Yes honey. You must be excited. Oh Takeshi Alex wants you to go to the kitchen, Leaf will show you" Eric smiled as hi son went to his best friend and began to talk in a rush about the boat.

"I am excited Eric. This is the day Daddy finally meets Sky and Leaf after twelve long years." Ariel breathed out. "I just hope they aren't too surprised about being part mermaid, well merman for Leaf" Eric's wife began bitting her nails.

"Relax love, I'm sure they'll be fine. I mean they took the information about having a family pretty well. Oh and the fact that there are magical creatures in this world but not in theirs." He pointed out. "And Sky and Melody seem to be getting along greatly, and Rose is like an older role model. I wouldn't mind having her for a daughter in law" Eric pondered on this for a while, as he looked at his daughters talking to Rose.

"Eric, Leaf shows no romantic interest in her, anyways isn't it a bit too early to be thinking about in laws?"

"Only three years early. I married you when I was 18 remember"

"And I was 16 remember? But I don't see you talking about two years from now when Sky and Melody could marry"

"It's different."

"How? Is it because you want to be a proud father?" Ariel practically hissed at him.

"Why not? You keep trying to make him feminine!" Eric argued.

"No I'm not! He needed help with his hair!"

"He would have figured it out!"

"Eric you've turned into a child." Ariel stated simply and walked away. Eric glared at her and pouted.

"We're here your majesties!" a lookout called down to the deck.

"Eric go and get Sky and Leaf! " At his wife's words Eric rushed to get his children. Melody was already on deck and she was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her grandfather. Takeshi and Chef Alex appeared to see what was going on and Rose stood a little farther back.

"Mom What's going on?" Leaf and Sky both asked.

"Just wait. Close your eyes both of you! No peeking!" Ariel led her children to the side of the boat and made them wait.

It was then that the water in the ocean began to rise up and Ariel smiled. She was looking at her father. Her wonderful father. King Triton loked at his two grandchildren and asked his daughter with a silent look. Ariel nodded. Melody tried to contain her happiness and Rose looked at the King with a amazed look. Takeshi smelled fish.

"You can open your eyes now" Ariel looked to see her children's reactions. When they opened their eyes, Leaf's eyes widened in shock and Sky's became full of curiosity.

"Holy snot bubble!" Leaf stumbled backwards and fell. King Triton softly chuckled.

"It's a big surprise for you isn't it"

"This is our grandfather?" Sky looked up to Ariel. Ariel just nodded. Leaf picked himself up from the floor and stared at his grandfather and back and forth between him and his mother.

"Wait. How? Hold that thought. Doesn't that mean that We are all supposed to swim?"

"Naturally" came King Triton's reply.

"But Sky can't swim" Ariel, Melody and King Triton couldn't believe it.

"You can't swim?" Ariel looked to her youngest daughter. Sky shook her head.

"I panic when I'm in the water, so I sink" Sky smiled nervously.

"Well, if you're a mermaid, then you won't have to sink" Triton smiled at his granddaughter.
