Disclaimer: I don't own Rocket Power or Lilo and Stitch. I do own this idea though, at least I think I do – I have yet to come across it. Anyway, this is a kinda-sorta cross-over fic, but it's more Rocket Power than it is Lilo and Stitch. I know, this chapter is uber short, but it's just a mood setter. As always, read, review, and spread the word.
Goodbye
Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down.
The waves gently rocked me up and down as I watched the sun reflect on the water, the board between my legs. The last day. This is my last day in what's been my home for the last fifteen years. Kauai.
I had learned three months ago that we were gonna move from our nice little island, to Ocean Shores California. I mean really, main land life? I've always lived surrounded by water, how can I change now? Well, sure, it's a beach and all, and they have surfing and all, but still, this is my home, where my friends and family live. How can I leave them?
"'AUKAI! COME ON GIRL! DAD'S ALL READY TO GO! GET OUT OF THE WATER!" I heard the voice of my mother, Nani Kawena, call out to me from the beach.
"ALRIGHT, LET ME GET ONE MORE WAVE!" I shouted back, and then waited for her signal of approval. Ahh, there it is, the arms shaking frantically above her head. Just in time too, as I feel the familiar swell beneath my board, and casually moved into position, catching an excellent wave that took me near shore.
Ah, the feeling, the rush, the spray of the water, the speed . . .
It was a perfect wave to end on.
"Whoa girlie, nice ride." My mother laughed as she gave me a high five, and in my adrenaline high I returned it. I smiled and wiped my face so I could see better, just in time to see my father come down the beach.
"Oi! Girls! What are we doing?!"
"Oh, calm down David, 'Aukai was just finishing up her set. She is your daughter, after all, Ipo." Mom smirked, while dad just grinned sheepishly, then returned her look.
"Yeah, well, she's your daughter too, Ipo-lani." Mom just smiled and kissed his cheek, then ushered us all along towards the car. I stopped to look out at the ocean and beach I knew so well, one last time.
"Hey, Hiwahiwa, come on. Don't want to make your mom angry." We both laughed, and climbed into the car.
