"Okay, let's make this quick," Nani articulated as she got out of her blue Volkswagen Beetle. Her ohana, which included Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley, exited the car as well.

Today was a very nice, sunny Sunday. The family had gone to the beach on the opposite side of the island to go for a car ride and to get out of the house for a change. They built sandcastles, played in the water, had lunch, surfed for a while, and enjoyed the sun.

The only remnants left of their eventful day was the sunset, the sand that now encrusted over their hair, or in Pleakley's case wig, the salt that clung to their bodies, and the smiles that they each wore.

"Jumba can you fill up the car with gas?" Nani questioned desperately trying to chase after energetic Lilo and Stitch.

Jumba gave her an evil grin with a wave. "Sure, be going… Jumba can do that."

"Don't start a fire like last time," Nani scowled holding onto Lilo and Stitch by the towels they wore around their waists. After she received a reassuring nod from Jumba, she let them free – free to rocket into the gas station store.

"Stitch, look at these flavors! There's even more here than at Luki's Shave Ice!" Lilo glowed as she and Stitch stared at the variety of slushies. "I bet there's enough to feed a whole raid of zombies!"

Stitch's mouth dropped and began salivating uncontrollably. "Egalagoo!"

"Which one are you going to get?" reaching for a super-sized cup.

Stitch took four super-sized cups - one in each hand. "Cherry!"

"Watermelon wave!"

"Soda!"

"Sour green apple!"

"Grape!"

"Orange berry!"

"Coconut nutter!"

Nani and Pleakley were still at the front of the store. He had caught Nani's divided attention and seemed to be rather fascinated with the red machine that contained a bunch of colorful orbs.

"Sorry Pleakley, I've got to go see what these little twerps are doing." Nani stormed off to the slushy machine. "Are you two lolo? You can't eat all that!"

"It's not eating. It's drinking!" Lilo argued already slurping on hers. The five slushies were originally rainbow, but the colors were beginning to merge to form disgusting blacks and browns. "We even got one for everyone."

"Ih!" Stitch nodded, "Botifa!"

"Oh alright," Nani fake-grinned as she noticed an employee observing them. Stitch handed Nani hers as they walked to the front of the store to pay. Pleakley joined them.

"That will be $40.52," The employee stated as Nani shot Lilo a bad look. She was going to have to work overtime for a week to make up for that purchase. "Mahalo," the employee smiled taking Nani's credit card. "Have a good day."

"Say, what's this you got over here?" Pleakley asked as they exited the store.

The employee gave him back a weird look. "It's a gumball machine."

"What does it doo-o?"

Nani had dragged him out of the store. She felt like she was hauling around three little kids – well, at least two of them were little. She wasn't going to pay another cent at that skanky gas station store.

"You put all your money in it and you get a piece of dry, old candy that only has flavor for like thirty seconds," Nani said harshly.

"You forgot about the part where you blow bubbles!" Lilo added pretending like she was blowing a huge bubble. Stitch copied her.

"What is wrong with little girl and 6-2-6?" Jumba questioned as he took Nani's credit card to pay for the gas. So far, so good. No explosions.

"They're just on a sugar high. Let's go home," Nani sighed.

That is, home - where everything was already paid for and where there was no more expenses. Until something broke or they ran out of something.
