Part of An Ohana

A/N My new fic which I hope my fave reviewers like.

It's about learning that you're ohana even if you were born into it or created which Kira, Alana's young daughter along with an new experiment Jumba creates learn together.

I hope you enjoy

It was another peaceful night in Kauai but somebody in the Pelekai house wasn't asleep. In a room, a young twelve year old girl was still awake but was thinking.

Her name was Kira Pelekai and daughter of the Grand Council Woman Alana Pelekai but she didn't know about that since Nani and the other members of her ohana had kept that from her but told her that her mother was working for the Council on Turo but kept the fact that her mother was the Grand Council Woman.

Kira had long black hair like her mother along with her hazel eyes, slender and very quiet.

She was always very shy and kind but very creative but the other kids at hula school didn't understand so the pre teen was lonely but at least she had her family.

Lana, her mother's experiment partner and best friend had went to Turo with Alana to help her run the Council but had left on Kira's twelfth birthday which made Kira sad because she'd begged her Mom to let her go with her but Alana had refused but Lana knew why because it was too dangerous for Kira to be on Turo seeing Alana was the Grand Council Woman but she knew Alana was only doing it because she loved Kira and didn't want her hurt or in trouble.

Kira sighed as she got up and watched the light from the Big Red Battleship.

"Uncle Jumba must be working on something important in the ship since he won't let me in recently but I wonder what he's working on?

It would be cool if he was making more experiments but then Nani and the one eyed noodle brain would yell at him for being himself and having some fun." the girl thought smiling evilly.

She never really opened up around her Aunt Nani or Pleakley but did around Jumba and the experiments.

To her, they were cool but had a deep bond with her Uncle Jumba because he knew how it felt to not be allowed to be with those you call family and not allowed to be yourself and have to fit in like Nani's attempts to help her fit in by making her look cool but the clothes didn't suit her but she also liked Lilo too but she was in college now and didn't have a lot of time to hang out with her like before.

She looked at the locket her Mom had given her the day she'd left her as a baby with her family as it had a photo of her and Alana and Uncle Jumba in it.

"I wish I could be with you Mom.

You've no idea how lonely I am right now here.

All I want is a friend." she said softly as she lay on her bed falling asleep but Jumba had heard her.

He knew hiow she felt about not being able to be with her mother made her feel along with being lonely.

He then went to bed thinking about Kira.....

Alana sighed as she was getting ready for another Council meeting but Lana noticed her friend seemed distracted.

"What's wrong Alana?" the female experiment asked as the Grand Council Woman sighed.

"Kira.

I know she wants to be with me but I can't let her stay here in case something happens to her, you know that right?

But I feel guilty knowing our relationship as mother and daughter is strained because of my job." she replied as Lana understood.

"Maybe after the meeting, you should phone her and tell her your feelings." Lana answered.

Alana nodded.

"Yes you're right.

Thanks Lana." she said leaving her chambers.....

Jumba sighed happily as he was in the Big Red Battleship as he was working on the computer and there were wires connected from it to an experiment pod on a pedestal.

He smiled as he was nearly finished.

He was making an new experiment, one devoid of evil and destruction but he feared Nani and Pleakley's wrath but knew this would help Kira because she was lonely.

"I haven't felt so good in a long time.

I miss creating my experiments." he thought about to activate it but heard Nani calling him for breakfast so hid the pod where they couldn't find it.

An evil chuckle escaped him walking back into the house but Kira and the others wondered what was going on but he wouldn't tell them but Kira had a feeling it involved what was going on in the Big Red Battleship as she heard his thoughts which was something she'd inherited from her mother and chuckled evilly at her Uncle's cleverness at hiding his little secret from the others.

"I need you to come to the Big Red Battleship when the others leave for school and stuff, okay?" Jumba said mentally to her.

"Yes but what's going on?" Kira asked curious.

"You'll have to wait and see my little one." he replied mentally ending the conversation.

He was able to talk to Kira mentally by using a device he wore in his ear but it was useful for when they wanted to talk without anybody finding out what they were talking about but now her curiousity was fired up but would have to wait to see what was going on as they had breakfast.....
