Rouge POV

"Socks," I say.

"Check," my cousin Sting replies.

"Bathing suit."

"Check."

"Uncle Meta's present."

Wait…uh, check."

"Okay I think we have everything," I say.

"Yay!" Sting shouts, "We're done packing."

"Packing for what?"

The two of us turn to the door of our dorm room and see our friends, Minerva, Yukino, Rufus, and Ogra, standing there. The person who spoke was Yukino. I gave Sting a glare because he was supposed to tell them where we were going this weekend. He gives a nervous laugh in response causing me to just shake my head.

"We're going to our parents' house this weekend," I say, "because of a family party that is happening this Saturday."

"Oh," Yukino says, sounding a little sad that we aren't going to be here.

Sting picks up on this fast, "You know they said we could bring some friends if you guys want to come with."

"Really?" Minerva asks.

"I don't recall having any plans this weekend," Rufus says.

"It would be cool to finally meet your parents," Ogra says.

"Are you sure they won't mind?" Yukino asks Sting.

"Totally," Sting says, "our dads are cool like that."

"Dads?" Ogra asks.

"Yeah," I say.

"Are your parents…" Minerva starts, sounding a little awkward.

This time, I pick up on the fact she is trying to imply our parents are a couple, "Oh no, they're twin brothers. They are just really close so they raised us together."

"Oh, I didn't mean to assume anything," Minerva says.

"Nah, it's fine," Sting replies, "happens all the time."

"Well, you two do act like brothers," Ogra says.

My phone rings. The caller id tells me that my dad, Skiadrum is calling. I walk to the other side of the room before I answer the phone.

"Hey dad," I say.

"Hey Rogue," he replies, "I just wanted to make sure that it was just you and Sting coming."

"Um, actually, we just invited a some friends if that's okay."

"Yeah, that's fine, we just wanted to know if we needed to clean out the guest room."

"Yeah, I was thinking that me and Sting could sleep in Sting's room, our two guy friends, Rufus and Ogra would sleep in my room, then our girl friends would sleep in the guest room."

"Girlfriends? I don't know if you want to invite them over here yet…"

"Not like that, I meant friends that are girls."

"Oh," he sounds a little disappointed.

"So, how's everything going?" I say to change the subject.

"It's alright," he says with more energy in his voice, "G and Meta can't stop talking about how your second cousins brought their girlfriends home, Wendy even got a date to a school dance."

"Dad!" I shout, trying to get him to stop.

"Alright, I get it," he says, "listen I have to go, I'm worried your uncle might break something if I stay away for much longer."

"I'm sure," I say.

"See you soon," he says.

"Yeah," I reply, "I love you."

"Love you too."

I hang up the call only to be greeted by the sounds of awes from my friends and cousin.

"Oh shut up," I say.

"Oh, Rogue," Minerva says, "it's sweet that your so close with your father."

"Yeah Rogue," Sting says.

"You tell Uncle Weiss the same thing when you hang up," I say.

"Well," Yukino says, "did your father say it was okay for you to bring us with you."

"Oh, yeah, he said that it was fine but he sounded a little disappointed when he found you two weren't our girlfriends," I say pointing Minerva and Yukino.

"Like Natsu and Gajeel could do better," Sting says.

"Well…"

"They have girlfriends!"

"Yep."

"This is going to be the worst family gathering ever."

Yukino POV

The six of us are in Minerva's car (because it fits six people). Rouge is driving, Minerva is in the passenger seat, Rufus and Ogra are sitting in the middle row, with me and Sting in the back. I feel lucky that Rouge and Sting's motion sickness medicine doesn't wear off, or else the drive would've been very unpleasant. Rouge pulls up into a driveway, causing me to look up from my phone.

A man with gray hair that is in a small pony tail comes running outside. Sting scrambles to get out of the car and runs up to the man who engulfs him in a hug. Sting returns the hug. I use my phone to take a picture because of how adorable the exchange is. Rouge gets out of the car next and joins the two in their hug. The rest of us get out of the car at a normal pace then stand awkwardly in front of the house.

At a closer glance, the man hugging our friends doesn't have gray hair, it is more of a light blond. Another man comes out of the house. He looks almost identical to the first man, with the same hair and eyes. His hair is shorter however, but his bangs cover up some of his right eye. Rouge breaks out of the hug he is in to be a part of a new hug with the other man.

Sting also breaks out of his hug, but instead of running into a new one he lets the first man put an arm around his shoulder.

"Guys, this is my dad, Weisslogia," Sting says.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," I reply.

Sting's father just laughs, "No need to be so formal, you guys can call Weiss. We're all adults here after all."

"I wouldn't call you an adult," the other man says.

"Well, no one asked you," Weiss replies.

I can't help but giggle, and the others join me.

"Well, no point in you all standing outside," the other man says, "Come on in, we can get your stuff later."

I just assume that the second man is Rouge's father, even though he hasn't said it out loud. We follow the two men into the house after Minerva locks up her car. They lead us to the kitchen, where they have placed out some snacks for us. I look out the window to see a large deck with a grill and an outdoor sitting area. A little father away from it is a large underground pool with a tub full of accessories to go with it.

"So was the ride here okay?" Rouge's father asks.

"Sure, was Uncle Skiadrum," Sting replies, "The medicine didn't wear off."

"That's good," Weiss replies, "it would've taken you twice as long if it did, that or you could all be in the hospital by now."

Sting and Rouge shudder as if remembering a horrible memory, but the rest of us are left confused. Two cats come running in from the other room, one of them is wearing one of those pet costumes that you can put on animals during Halloween (I think it is one to make the cat look like a pink frog). The one with the costume jumps up into Rouge's lap, while the other rubs it's head against Sting's leg.

"Hey Frosh," Rouge says to the cat, "did you miss me?"

"Frosh always does," Skiadrum replies.

The cat looks up at Rouge as he pets him (her?) as if expecting more. Rouge notices and grabs an apple slice from the platter his father had out to feed the cat. I smile at the exchange. I feel something rub up against my leg.

"Ahh," I say.

Looking down I see the second cat who has reddish fur rubbing up against me.

"Looks like Lector likes you," Weiss says.

"Hi," I say to the cat, who looks up at me in response.

Lector then starts placing his paw on my knee. I've never had a pet so I don't know what to do from this point on. Sting walks over to me and picks Lector up and places the cat in my lap. I stiffen up as the cat goes and gets comfortable. He curls up and purrs softly. I begin to pet the cat as he falls asleep in my lap. Minerva gets her phone out to take a picture.

"There is no way I am forgetting this," Rufus says.

"I didn't know you guys had cats," Ogra says to Sting and Rouge.

"They practically begged us for them when their cousins Natsu and Wendy each got one for Christmas one year," Skiadrum says.

"I did not beg," Rouge defends, "Sting begged, and I said I wouldn't mind having a cat as well."

"Keep telling yourself that," his father replies, patting his son on the shoulder.

Rouge gives his father a scowl in return which causes the rest of us to laugh. Weiss and Skiadrum enjoy telling us stories of Sting and Rouge when they were children for the next hour. As they do this, their sons make comments to deny or explain the reasoning behind their actions.

"Hey, Weiss," Skiadrum says, "I think we might want to start setting up outside."

Weiss checks his phone, "Yeah, you're right."

He looks back up at the rest of us, "Alright, I hope that you guys brought swimsuits."

We all nod, Sting and rouge made sure we brought them with us.

"Good," he replies, "go ahead and get changed into them, we're going outside for dinner tonight."

Sting and Rouge rush outside to the car so they can grab our luggage. The cats end up chasing after them. We follow the two hyper college students and watch as they try to open the locked trunk. Minerva shakes her head as she unlocks the car. They give us each our suitcase as they go back inside to get changed. We all shrug our shoulders as we go upstairs and find the bathroom.

Weiss and Skiadrum are already outside in bathing suits. Skiadrum is getting the grill set up and Weiss is setting up some sort of net that is going across the pool.

"CANNONBALL!" Sting shouts as he runs and jumps into the pool, accidently splashing his father.

This causes Weiss to jump in after him as he tries to hold his son's head under the water. Sting struggles to get above the water, his arms and legs constantly splashing more water into Weiss's face. All the water in his face makes Weiss let go. Sting comes up for air, but as soon as he can breathe again he goes to attack his father. The two of them continue wrestling each other until some water comes close to the grill.

"Weiss!" Skiadrum shouts, failing to hide the annoyance in his voice, "Is the volleyball net up!?"

This gets both of the males in the water to stop. They take a second to look at each other, then they rush out of the pool. Weiss goes to secure the other side of the net, farthest from us, while Sting grabs a see-through beach ball from the bin of pool things.

"You sure you don't want to join us, Skiadrum?!" Weiss shouts back at his brother after placing the net up.

"Someone has to make the food!" he replies.

"The teams are going to be uneven!"

"I don't care and you won't either when dinner is an hour later than usual!"

The thought of having food late prevents Weiss from making a comeback. In the end, they decided that whichever team Weiss is on gets one less player. Team captains are Sting and Rouge. Rouge's team has Rufus, Ogra, and Minerva. That leaves me and Weiss on Sting's team.

No one keeps points as we play, yet a lot of trash talk is shouted whenever someone does finally score. After the game we all enjoy grilled hamburgers and hot dogs while being wrapped up in towels. Skiadrum and Weisslogia ended up arguing over who go to use the ketchup first. The two of them started to wrestle each other (which was more of a fight to see who could choke the other one to death first), and that ended up with them falling into the pool. Not that it stopped them from wrestling more, their own sons cheering them on from the sidelines. What a crazy family. And to think that tomorrow we get to meet the rest of them.

Another chapter is done. If the ending wasn't clear, next week I plan to have a one-shot about the birthday party for Metalicana up. I'm pretty excited. A few things that you might want to know. First, couples that I want to be cannon in my world that I can't really make a chapter for here, will show up at the party. If you don't see a couple you ship or recommended then it means I will place a chapter for them eventually, or I don't like the ship. Second, this is going to be a separate one-shot, so it will not be a part of this fanfiction. I will post a chapter to this fanfiction with an author's note and maybe a chart of all the relations we have seen this far (including nicknames and jobs). Third, I cannot guarantee that the chapter will be up next week, because I have no idea how long it will take. And lastly, the one-shot will be in third person (a point of view I don't like to write in) because of all the characters I have to work with, that or I will make different chapters with the same events just how different characters go through them.

Other than that, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and that none of you had a loved one that died yesterday during the storm known as Black Friday (just kidding). Also, I know I haven't responded to reviews in a little while, and I'm going to get back into that, like today. And of course that you to those who have followed and favorited so far, it means a lot to me.

Wild Birdie: I hope that I did not disappoint and that it was indeed glorious.

Luna Lockser: Thank you, I'm glad you like the Dragneel family I made. Don't worry Cobra and Kinana are going to be at the birthday party, I just have to work on the kinks on how they tie in to the rest of the family.
