Noted: Kaien or Soario is in this and political slamming will happen for this old uncle so don't freak! He gets a kick in the keister and so? Gag style! Enjoy!

Balloons floated up THROUGH the card only, as Dick Grayson and Kori Anders read the message attached to this virtual proclamation of war from across the water.
~ Buon pomeriggio! I have left the dates and times of your flight to sunny Lazio by a Roman town were my villa is. We'll enjoy a summer in the water, and bring everyone along if they wish to go. This is a thank you from Uncle Solario to my god – children and my children's children. I insist and do bring plety of tanning oil! You'll need it while by the coast. ~
"What would we not know of beaches?" Kori frowned and scrolled down the link to see a strange ticket…
"Is he paying for all of our family??"
"Looks it." Dick chewed at his bottom lip as he leaned in to see.
"Can we trust the fox of fire, Dick?" She turned to him; sun kissed from her career as it was. "I do not wish to bring up any unpleasant memories, now that Aiden is off to college and Anna is studying with Shoji in Japan…. or that Anna is currently unreachable and working alongside –
"It's fine, Kori." Dick dropped his forehead to touch hers, with soft lashes to bat away any stress this might have brought onto the now childless parent. "What of Raku? Is he able to leave Constantine to…"
"I think a call might be in order." Dick smiled and kissed her brow sweetly. "Why not see what the man has been up to?"
"I shall start right away in gathering our belongings for the trip." She smiled up at him and embraced her wonderful husband. "Then, we can do it. I'll send the reply…. all of us…. will be going, and seeing if kids are also. Done!"
Starfire beamed bright as a fire light on the horizon by the idea of going across an Italian town in her favorite summer dresses and shoes. "There will be much to do! I believe Kaien is in fact Solario when he is in this guise, so we must be courteous and do what we can to make the moment last!"

The same time, in a different country…

Ami shouted to the rooftops as Kaede only hissed at the virtual character of a lion on the screen.
"It's a note!" Haru barked, leading Yumi to make some tea while she contacted Shoji in the next room.
"Ah….oh. Em…Yeee!!!" Ami bounced around and did a "senshi sailor" pose in plain sight. "We're going to a beach?? In awesome Italy??? Yes! That's soo cool! Kaede?? Got get some scuba gear online; Haru?? Scout out the best pizza places in Rome." She did a military stomp and acted as silly as fifteen could bring to her little life as a vassal to a sun goddess.
"I'm gonna invite my girl from Cali to swim in the waves. It'll be epic!!!"
And of course, being Kaien, Yumi had no such trouble as long as she and Shoji went with Ron to keep an eye on the biggest chaser in their family.
"As long as Aria wasn't put up to this…" Sighed the ice relic with her cell to her ear. "How soon can we get ready?"
/
In London at a prominent Record Label studio….
"What???"
As Aria stomped around the room, the note mocked her. "Am I not to tell him?? Am I, Emelio??"
"That…oh! But you must; the best stars always shine by the water, so go! Enjoy his villa and your…family?"
"And leave on a vacation while chaos reigns upon my return…" Groaned the siren. "As if, then again…" She wore a devil's grin at how Shoji would be there. And possibly? NO AYA – chan."
"Ah, this is my time to strike while he's still not like…. Kaien…" She stuck out her tongue and clicked a reply as "yes" to her options. The balloons poured fourth, while Aria got ready to pack for a sea side sit down with her dearest cousin.
(ARIA HAD A CRUSH FOR A LONG TIME ON VERAVAKUMU IN HER EARLIER DAYS AND DOESN'T LKE THAT AYANE IS LORI AINSLEY'S REINCARNATION OR INCARNATION WHILE SHE'S LEFT A LAUGHING STOCK. SHOJI ACTUALLY CARED FOR LORI VERY MUCH, SO SEE THE FUR FLY! VERRA IS BY THE WAY, UMBREON. ARIA IS SOMETHING OF AN ARTICUNO THOUGH IT WASN'T DESCRIBED IN MOST OF THE FICS. RON IS JOLTEON OR A RAIKOU GOD'S VASSAL OF LIGHTENING, WHILE KAYU IS CULUMON, AND AN ELEMENTAL OF WIND AND CLOUDS. ESME IS VAPOREON AND A DESCENDENT NEREID PRINCESS OF KING NEREUS FROM ANCIENT GREECE. CLIFF IS LEFEAON AND AN ELEMENTAL OF EARTH, NOT WOOD. ABENI IS EEVEE AND MORE GROUNDED TO HUMANITY, KLARA IS FROM HUNGARY AS A POP STAR AND EMBODIES SYLVEON OR THE VASSAL OF APHRODITE SINCE ESME'S PREDEICTION WAS FALSE. SOLARIO IS FLAREON AS KORI CALLS HIM A FIRE FOX, AND HE IS AN INCARNATED CONTINUATION OF APOLLON. LASTLY, VESPA IS FROM ISRAEL AND HAS ITALIAN BLOOD AS WELL AND EMBODIES ESPEON AS THE NEW VASSAL OF CHRONOS AS A QUEEN OF REAPERS TO A POINT. HAD FUN WITH HER DYNAMIC, AND LIKELY THE MOST RECENT IS ANNA GRAYSON WHO IS THE VASSAL OF THE PHOENIX OF BIRTH AND REBIRTH AS WELL AS DEATH. SO FAR, GOOD TO GO.)

The bags were packed, Aiden had off for summer studies, yet he'd improved on his note taking abilities in record time to stick around. Raku was forced to stay, with John C not being a fan of sun and sand mostly.
Anna was…. unreachable as Kori had feared, so Ami invited Jackie and Dick brought along the Titans and their spouses to join in a big bash by the Italian coast.
Where someone stood waiting by the road in…
A limo???
"Big, car…." Ami drooled as her cute kawaii sunglasses nearly popped off. "Did you pay for us to be entertained, Solario?" Yumi asked the rather suavely dressed ally; his red top was pressed and shoes looked to be bordering on expensive and casual. He wore dress pants as if he'd just stepped out of the office…but, it was very fashionable how he wore them in the summer sun.
"Welcome! Step in; your villa of dreams, awaits." He smiled to the few, expecting this to be as daunting to hear as the passerby knew his Italian and his face from the tabloids much better than the uncle's outer wear.

The drive was not by the water yet, though on a hill that overlooked quite a catch; a whole town as its ligts sparkled and voices at the bars echoed at midday.
"Tomorrow, we will have the whole cove for ourselves, but tonight I will make sure that you are more than simple tourists in Roma." He was so bright, the sun personified even as Yumi found this off putting.
"He means he wants to get blasted –
"Nonesense! Verra; Ah, Shoji? Should I talk to either?" The red headed goof had Ami and the others giving each other glances. "I don't get much company…. ever since the virus, I was lonely in the villa and rarely came to watch the waves…you'll be the first to return it to life!"
"He's so…" Raven seethed and clutched Mal's arm in a death grip.
"Ah…cheery, fellow? Right…" Winced the magician.
"What do we do? Go get ready for supper, then?" Karen Beecher asked the foxes.
"You can, but don't rush it, cause' here we Italiano like to slow down when the heat hits the city." Grinned the fire fox as the others said their thanks and then went up to their rooms to unpack.
/
"What a strange appearance he had on him…" Haru murmured as Ami jumped around the room. Admiring all of the beautiful fixtures that a rich character could afford. "We are going to scuba, or die trying. Who's with me? Kaede? Haru – nii?"
"In the morning, Ami – chan." Yawned a rather bushy – tailed Kaede. "I need to wipe the jet lag from….my memory…" She reverted to her kitsune form as Haru went to wake up the other sister with a swat on the nose. "Do not be rude, Kaede – san! Solario is inviting us to have a meal tonight. Nap for a few minutes, but if you refuse to take part…I will bite off one of your tails as punishment!"
/
Jackie texted Ami from her room, only to find that she needed a password to send it properly as far as pictures went.
"Don't we have service? Why didn't Julian go too?"
"He had work, and college." Her mama said with a heave of their things onto the bed. "Are you gonna need all of your tech, sweetie? This stuff had to be carried through security an' a swat team almost confiscated all of it!" (Jax is a techie like her dad.)
"I can ask dad to get me a space cube from outer space." Shrugged the teen as she tried to find out if she had enough memory to even go offline right now. Let alone…her battery was extremely low.
"I give up! Where's Kaien? Cause' I needed my Wayne tube like yesterday!"
/
Dick and Kori had to share a room, while Aiden had brought no one since…. well, Toby was all over the place with his job. Lisa wasn't his significant crush since middle school anymore, Ava was not a fan of the sun, Raku was in a boot camp on dark magic with a magus of cursed indecision…And Anna was off starting and stopping wars. Really, none had been as close. It made Aiden feel pretty embarrassed to be a hero, a Chosen and the son to a legendary crime fighting team…
What if this trip made him even more lonely? What if it made no sense to…
There was a knock at his door that evening as Aiden scuttled of to open the biggest box of surprises.
"Aiden!!!! Help!"
/
With a face that small, Raku's frame looked to have reached eighteen even with suc a petite frame about him. The being Ignito had spoken that Raku had no true gender until he decided that for himself, so a lot of effeminate features were very common to his race of spirit.
"Wh – how did –
"John….he said why not…but I got chased! I –
"Is that you, Raku?"
The kid blinked up before a smaller version of his djinn nature popped out of the boy'ds back.
"You can't overshadow him like that." Aiden chided the daemon youth that was more a familiar to Raku than a side of himself anymore.
"Sorry, John gave in, but he's outside with his smokes. Murmuring, so for any reason at all…Solario won our attention." Smiled the teary eyed demi God. "I'm glad to be here with you. May I come in?"
/
The night was mostly food and a clear atmosphere, yet the next day…
"You got me….trunks??"
"I thought you needed to get back in the game!" Solario grinned as Verra refused to butt in unless this got out of hand. "Our design studio that I run has the latest in trends. All of the women of this city pay attention to the fashion of the season, so this will be the one set to make you a star on the waves!"
"I'm bringing a surfing board, unless it's not that kind of beach?" Ron asked his uncle.
"The cove we're headed to is secluded. Large enough and a tide that will rip your shoes off if you come to close." Snickered the wily goat.
John grumbled something as he looked at the "gifts" from Kaien's fashion industry.
He was really just using them to model his wares.
"Figures he'd see us the perfect test subjects for…"
"A…this is, very stringy?" Kori looked at the piece and imagined being caught in a fishing net. "Have you anything less contracting on the bottom?"
"I'll take the Goddess's collection – oh!" Aria, or of all they knew, Andrea Grotto.
"A dress complete with a two-piece ensemble. You know me so well, Solario." She twirled in her sky blue kimono with a too sheer complication as Karen put a hand over Jax' eyes when Aria's chest jumped up to greet everyone. A siren. Typical nonsense.
"That's because she pre - orders from him every –
"Ron? Did you get your gift from uncle, yet?"
They were like spoiled kids getting gifts from, a rich uncle. Dick tried to help Kori look into another option from the pile this doting dear had brought.
"Ami! You may not wear that one. Pick a skirted style instead." Yumi recommended that a thong not be a part of any kawaii maiden's dream until she was of the proper age.
"But, who's gonna wear it?"
"Rae?"
"Gar. Can I shove those trunks on your head and give you a brain - fusing wedgie? Don't suggest I deface myself in a loincloth." She growled at the green hero.
"Ah, what about Raku?"
"Oh, multi – sex, I think?... Right. Um…trunks are too big though…"
Ami bit her nails as Haru gasped by the lude thoughts rattling around in the girl's brain.
"Ah…what about…here!"
"Shorts? No. Long pants."
So, harem pants and a crop tank were all they could get until Raku tripped and John went out to buy a better children's size pair of swim trunks.
"But…" Raven coughed as the group was ready to shove off to the shore. "He rocked those pants pretty hard." (Raku is a Sumerian and of older origins so harem to him is actually very ideal, yet he's short so it has to be a children's size only. Also, Raku is non binary due to his history and he is also gay he does not like women as this was shown as Roku and how even with the women he took, it was not out of love.)

Keeping it this length. Like Raku's wide legged harem pants, we keep rockin' it! Read on for more – Stay curious!
