Yes, that is a Lilo & Stitch reference in the title... Expect the full Ohana/Family quote to show up in here eventually.

I do NOT own Castle.

Warning: Hallow has never been to Hawaii, nor does she have any clue at all what Hawaii is actually like. The place described here is probably nothing like the actual place, it's a fantasy placed dreamed up by a fangirl with an overactive imagination that was getting way too much snow and really wished she could teleport to this place I have named Hallow's Fantasy Hawaii.


The group finally got all the luggage into the beach house, and though Beckett had expected to see Castle on the way to the house, they made it inside without catching sight of the writer.

Once they were all inside, everyone collapsed into the nearest chair/couch they could find, complaining about the long walk from the car to the house, except Beckett.

"Maybe if you hadn't brought so much stuff it wouldn't have been such a long walk."

"It wouldn't have been such a long walk if you didn't have to have the furthest beach house. Not all of us can run around like super woman in four plus inch heels." Lanie complained, rubbing her feet and wishing she had worn more comfortable shoes before looking down at Beckett's feet. "You're wearing flip-flops! We've known each other for how long now? I've never seen you in flip-flops."

"Yeah well, things are different here. I'm only wearing them because I had to drive, usually I just go barefoot." She looked around and noticed that every one looked a little less tired than they were before and suggested she show them the upstairs so they could pick their rooms and get unpacked.

Great grandpa Beckett had built this house by himself, and with the hope that there would be lots of people using it, he made it big. The ground floor was mostly a large open area where the living room and dining room took up most of the space, with the exceptions being the kitchen, that was separated from the dining room by only a counter, a large bathroom, and a small office type room that had a door and could be completely separated from the rest of the rooms. A lot of the ground floor had been remodeled over the years as technology grew, but the upstairs was mostly the same, with the exception of bathrooms being added. The upstairs consisted of nine bedrooms, four on each side of a long hallway in the middle and one at the end which was the master bedroom. Bathrooms were built connecting the bedrooms in pairs, while the master bedroom had it's own bathroom, resulting in there being a grand total of five bathrooms on the top floor.

It didn't take long for Ryan and Jenny, who opted to share a room, to pick one they wanted, though it took Lanie and Esposito a little bit longer since they obviously wanted to just share a room, but wanted their relationship to remain a 'secret'. Eventually they picked the two rooms farthest from Beckett, Ryan, and Jenny so that they could 'unknowingly' sneak into the other's room without being seen.

"So, what do you guys want to do first?" Beckett asked once they were all back downstairs, and received a loud collective groan in reply.

"Come on, Beckett, even though you've been here for a few days already, some of us still had to work. Ryan, Lanie, and I all had to pull a night shift then get on the plane as soon as it ended." Esposito replied with Lanie and Ryan agreeing with him.

"Alright, alright fine. Rest up today though, because tomorrow you are getting out and exploring the place even if I have to kick you out and lock the doors." They agreed to that, excited about the chance to explore Hawaii, but not wanting to do it now.

"Will you at least get out for dinner later?"

"Maybe, but it doesn't look very promising." Lanie said, already heading upstairs to relax for a while.

"I better go pick up some things from the store then, enjoy your evening of relaxing." Beckett grabbed the keys for her jeep and headed out the door, letting her friends recuperate from their plane ride.


Castle and Alexis were cruising down the main road, in the jeep they were renting, when another jeep sped past them at a breakneck speed, taking every curve in the very curvy road easily, but that wasn't what left Castle with his mouth agape.

"Did you see that? That was Beckett!"

"Dad..."

"I swear it was!"

"Dad, we're in Hawaii, and as much as you apparently want her to be, Detective Beckett isn't here."

"But..."

Deciding to just let it go before his daughter started thinking about calling a mental hospital, Castle sped up a little bit and continued their journey to the only grocery store in a twenty mile radius.
