DarkAngel1994's Disney Princess Challenge, with a twist!

Caspian couldn't believe it.

He thought he was dreaming about being a merman, his friends being mermaids as well, and making a deal with a sea witch. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he noticed a scar across his neck and tried to call out to his friends, but no sound. That's when it hit him: the deal he made with Morgana cost him his own voice.

Maybe he should've think twice before heading off to get help from a stranger.

"We can't just go up to him and say 'Hey Ren, what's up? Oh, your boyfriend, Cas? He turned into a merman and then sold his voice to an evil sea witch. To get him talking, you need to kiss him before he becomes a fish.' Ren's gonna think we're complete nut jobs!" Lilo complained.

"We got to come up with something," Makoa said.

Caspian heard his friends downstairs and wondered how he would communicate with Ren without his voice. He doesn't know how to do sign language, nor does he know if Ren can too. If only he had listened to his conscious, then none of this would've happened.

His train of thoughts were interrupted by the small tune from his phone, indicating he got a text message. He checked it and smiled when he saw it was from Ren.

Ren: I know it's a bit too soon, but think it's ok if you come over to my place? My parents are coming over from Mt. Komorebi.

They had just been going out a couple of times since he and his friends arrived, and now he's about to meet Ren's parents. But...what would they say about their son going on a date with another man?

Ren: If you're worrying about them judging us, don't worry. They're very open-minded. :)

This made Caspian feel relieved, and he sent a message back that he'll love to come over. He blushed when he received a...

Ren: See ya soon!

"You'll be getting that kiss in no time." Caspian jumped at the sudden appearance of Lilo, who had snuck up behind him and reading the text messages.

"It would be nice to meet the parents," Makoa commented. "But to make a good first impression, we need to hide that scar on your neck."

"Oh right," Lilo said. "Shopping time!"

At the Yoshida Residence...

"Natsumi, my dear airhead of a sister," Ren started. "This has been the fifth man you had rejected. I get it's hard to find the right one, but your expectations are too high."

"Like you would know how to find that special someone," Natsumi snapped.

"You're right, I don't. Cause I already got a special someone."

"These two had never changed," Hinata commented while his brother was playing with Mimi.

"As much as your bickering is more entertaining than ever, is he coming over?" the older woman asked Ren.

"Yeah, and speak of the Watcher," Ren replied and got up to open the front door. He smiled when he saw Caspian and checked out his new outfit. Kind of odd to wear a turtleneck during summer, but the blond man pulled it off quite well. "Wow...you look amazing."

Caspian could only smile on the compliment.

"Oi, instead of eye woohooing your boyfriend, invite him inside!" Natsumi called out and yelped when her mother smacked her on the back of the head for being rude.

"Mind my sister, she has no filter," Ren groaned, feeling embarrassed.

"You must be the one who had my son fall head over heels for," the older man said. "It's nice to meet you." He frowned a bit when Caspian only waved. "Ren, can he talk?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. He came down with something that caused him to lose his voice," Ren explained. "He's feeling better now, but can't talk anymore."

"Oh, the poor thing," the older woman said with a warm smile. "No need to be shy. I'm Ayumi, Ren and Natsumi's mother, and this is my husband, Kenji. I can see why my son loves you so much."

Caspian blushed at the comment and looked over at Ren, who was a bit embarrassed but was smiling.

"Ren, this is the first time I've seen you really smiling," Kenji said.

This made Caspian concerned.

"What our father meant was that Ren was always a gloom, moping around and stuff," Natsumi explained. "He does go out, but he always feel left out when our friends back home are with their date."

"So, what'd you know about Caspian?" Hinata asked and chuckled when he noticed his nephew was staring at the blond man.

"Earth to Ren, come back down!" Natsumi shouted, causing Ren to jolt.

"Wha-? Sorry, what was that?" Ren asked.

"Your date? Since he can't talk, maybe he might've talked about himself," Hinata replied.

"Oh, umm..." Ren thought for a moment. "He lives at Windenburg with his mothers and six sisters."

"Six sisters?! Holy cow, that must've been one big family!" Natsumi exclaimed. "I don't think I can take care of that much kids."

"He mentioned about his grandmother being the youngest of her six siblings, so having a lot of kids runs in the family," Ren explained and a got silent agreement from Caspian.

"And Windenburg is such a lovely place, especially during the winter," Ayumi said and sighed as she gazed at her husband. "That's where we had our honeymoon."

"The best times of my entire life," Kenji commented.

Times flies by so fast, it was already evening.

"It was great to see you, and my parents really like you," Ren said. "How about tomorrow, we go out somewhere? Also, I feel kinda terrible for pulling you away from your friends, so maybe they want tag along as well?"

Caspian nodded. Maybe this is a chance for Lilo to confess her feelings for Makoa.

That night, Caspian was sitting in his bedroom and had explained (or written down) how the day went to Lilo and Makoa.

"I bet it was nerve whacking to meet the parents," Lilo said and was given a silent disagreement. "No it wasn't? They already like you, huh?" A nod. "That's awesome!"

"It won't be long before we end this ordeal with the sea witch," Makoa said.

"It's obvious Ren's head over heels for Cas, but why didn't you guys just kiss already?"

Caspian does want to kiss Ren after their second date, but he wanted to take things a bit slow and not rush this. They've been going out a few times, and he just met the family who accepted him and their relationship. Speaking of relationship...

Lilo read the new note and giggled. "Ren invited us over for dinner tomorrow night? Sounds fun!"

"Very generous of him," Makoa said.

Meanwhile, at Sulani...
It was the last week of summer until it's time to head back home to Windenburg, and the sisters were either sunbathing or splashing around in the ocean.

Erika had received a letter from her son about his days at Brindleton Bay and was thrilled when Caspian mentioned about meeting a cute guy at the bar and his family.

"We should pay a visit to see Cas and his friends," Aurora said. "Kind of like a surprise."

"Not a bad idea," Erika agreed. "Before we head back home, we should do that. I want to make sure this Ren guy treats our son with respect."

"I bet he's wonderful, so don't be such a worry hen," the brunette giggled, and Erika had thanked her lucky stars as she gazed lovingly at her wife.

Brindleton Bay
"You want to marry this boy?" Kenji asked.

"I really do, from the moment I first met him," Ren replied.

Kenji chuckled. "You remind me so much of myself. When I met your mother, I knew from that day on...I want to marry her. Despite what anyone said, even my own family. They never approve of me marrying with a commoner, but I didn't care."

Ren remembered hearing how his parents met and how spiteful his grandparents are.

"I wanted what's best for not only myself and your mother, but for my children. If you or Natsumi ever find someone who loves and cares for who you are, go to them before it's too late."
