A/N: A little update, hope you all enjoy this one. This is really gonna be hard for me to write once I get to the untimely demise for Mr. and Mrs. Pelekai. Oh, and celrock don't worry, Lilo and Nani's parents names will be used eventually, I haven't ignored your request for their first names, it's just coming soon. Also, thank you Google translate for helping me on that song in the beginning of the movie when we're introduced to Lilo on Earth. I found out the name Lilo means "lost", but I was surprised to see the song title was "A Song For Lilo" and thanks Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch for the hula teacher's name. Anyway, read & review.

It was back to hula school. Mr. Pelekai took Lilo over this time and today was the day of the big car trip. Lilo happily waited to get to school with her friends.

"Are you ready to see your friends again, Lilo?" Mr. Pelekai asked her daughter.

"Uh-huh, Daddy, when can I have a doll?" Lilo really wanted to play dolls with Mertle and the others. They usually went to see Mertle after class together and Lilo had never been before.

"When Mama and I go on our trip tonight, I'll pick a doll up for you all your own, you can name her anything you want." Mr. Pelekai told his younger daughter.

"Mertle named her doll Missy, Yuki named hers Yolanda, Teresa named hers Tabitha, and Elena called hers Esmeralda..." Lilo pondered what to name her doll. "I'll name mine...Scrump!"

"Scrump?" Mr. Pelekai didn't want to be mean, but he couldn't help but chuckle at that name. "What kind of name is that, pumpkin?"

"A special one," Lilo explained. "My doll will be very special and unique... Like me!"

Mr. Pelekai chuckled and stopped the car. "Here you go."

"Thanks, Dad!" Lilo beamed and help herself out of the car. "Have a good trip with Mom."

"We shouldn't be long, but we called a sitter just in case."

"Aw, I don't like babysitters!"

"Now, Lilo..."

The young girl sighed. "Fine... But I'm not going to bed at 7:00 and eating broccoli!"

"Aloha, Lilo..." Mr. Pelekai waved and drove off.

Lilo waved at her father. "Okay, bye, Dad!" she then ran inside to join her friends in class. She then went to change into her grass skirt and tube top with grass fringes.

Mertle, Yuki, Teresa, and Elena were standing together, waiting for something to happen.

Lilo came by. "Hey girls, where's Kumo?"

"We don't know," Mertle shrugged. "The door was open and he's not here... That's unlike him."

"Maybe he turned into a zombie!" Elena gasped.

"Maybe he'll eat our brains!" Teresa added.

"Maybe he'll make us eat spinach!" Yuki cried.

The other girls looked at her.

"What?" Yuki asked in defense. "I don't like spinach."

Kumo, the teacher came over. "Good morning, girls, sorry about that, but you all came earlier than I expected, I was making your snacks."

The girls oohed at that.

"Yay, he's not a zombie!" Elena cheered.

"Yay, he won't eat our brains!" Teresa added.

"Yay, I won't have to eat spinach!" Yuki beamed.

"You guys are weird..." Mertle glanced at them.

"They're not weird, Mertle, they're just 'expresent'." Lilo told the red-headed girl.

Kumo chuckled. "Eccentric, Lilo, and you're right, you're eccentric too, just like your mother."

"Whatever eccentric is, it sounds contagious." Mertle cringed.

"Now, as you all know, we're going on a trip not too long from now, it'll be here before you know it to perform in front of a crowd with our hula dancing with the older girls," Kumo told them. "I know it sounds nerve wrecking at first, but if we all practice right, you'll be able to do it as well as the older girls."

"I always wanted to perform in front of a crowd." Mertle said, bouncing her hair.

"It sounds scary..." Elena sounded frightened.

"I know it sounds scary at first, Elena, but we'll all get through it and this will be the best show a hula class of mine has ever preformed." Kumo smiled in front of them. "Now, shall we practice our part before the older girls come from Maui?"

The girls were all dancing the way they were supposed to. They stumbled a bit, but they still had plenty of time before the older girls would come and help them with the big show. Mertle struggled with the last part of the dance since it wasn't exactly in English.

"Mertle, didn't you study the words I taught you?" Kumo asked once they finished the dance.

Mertle grunted. "I tried and tried, but I can't say it! You all need to learn to speak English!"

"Mertle, that's not very nice," the teacher told her. "I know it sounds strange at first, but you'll get used to it."

"What does it even mean?"

"A name-strong for the chief, Kalakaua," Kumo translated Hawaiian to English for the native city girl. "It can be hard at first, but we'll keep practicing and soon you'll get it. Just remember, 'He Inoa No Kalani Kalakaua Kulele'."

"He... Inna...No... Kalamari...Caca kooky...?" Mertle was still unable to say it. "I'll never get this!" she stomped her foot.

Kumo sharply exhaled. "Just practice, Mertle, we all say it in the end and that includes you."

"Well, I like this song." Lilo smiled proudly.

"Yeah, cuz it's about you, I bet it is!" Mertle hissed.

"Well, sorry, they just didn't call it A Song For Mertle, it's A Song for Lilo."

"Show-off!"

"Don't be so mean, Mertle."

"I'm not mean, you're just a song stealer!"

"I'm not a song stealer... Meany face!"

"Weird-lo!"

"Glasses head!"

"Fish girl!"

"Girls, girls, stop fighting," Kumo put his hands before them so they wouldn't fight and attack each other. "It doesn't matter. Lilo, go practice with the others, I'll talk with Mertle."

Lilo sighed. "Okay." she did as told and went to be with Yuki, Teresa, and Elena.

"Is Mertle in trouble, Lilo?" Teresa asked.

"I don't know what got into her," Lilo answered, glancing back at the red-headed girl, then back at the girls. "Hey, can I play dolls with you guys?"

"Do you have a doll?" Yuki asked.

"Not yet, but my Mom and Daddy are gonna go on a road trip tonight and get me one," Lilo smiled.

"Get a doll first, then we'll talk." Elena said, gently as she didn't look up from her golden blonde haired doll. "I wanna grow up to look like Esmeralda..."

"I wanna grow up to be a fashion icon!" Teresa proclaimed.

"I wanna grow up to be a professional hockey player!" Yuki added, which got her another stare from her friends. "What? I like hockey..."

The door slammed open with the girls rushing out to happily go home. Lilo walked out and saw an old face she recognized from the Luau.

"David!" Lilo beamed.

"Howzit, Lilo?" David smiled.

Lilo ran and hugged him. "You babysittin' me?"

"Yeah, your parents just left, it's just you and me tonight, kiddo," David smiled back down at her. "You wanna watch Sludge Mummies?"

"Okay!" Lilo chirped, then got into his car.

David smiled and drove Lilo back to her house. He looked a little nervous as it got dark quickly. Looked like another storm was on the way. David safely drove back to the Pelekai house. Lilo looked a little nervous once she saw the dark clouds and held David's hand as they went into her house. Lilo looked a little nervous to see another storm coming and bit her lip nervously. She heard her father's harmonic voice though play in her head as a treatment to get her way through terrible storms as he sang to her like that rough storm the other night. Lilo felt instantly calm and walked in with David while he went to get some movies for them to watch with some pizza.
