Everyone decided it would be a good idea to picnic in the beach. While Nani was getting food ready, Lilo was teaching Stitch how to play fetch. She waved a stick to him and threw it in the distance, expecting him to go after it. Kahlia stood by to watch Lilo. Stitch merely stood there, looking around.
Lilo saw Stitch wasn't going anywhere, so she squirted him a few times to get him to do what she wanted him to do. Kahlia watched. Stitch growled and grabbed the water bottle and threw it away glaring at the girls. Lilo gaped at him, then growled and walked off to get the squirt bottle back, much to Stitch's delight.
Stitch grinned. Kahlia looked at Stitch and tutted. She looked around as well. Lilo got the bottle back and dusted some of the sand off from it. Stitch looked at Lilo. Kahlia didn't see anyone else suspicious yet. A white ball came over by Stitch.
"Over here, little buddy!" a man in his shorts came, wanting the ball and smiled.
Stitch picked up the ball and hit the man on the head. Kahlia rushed to help the man up. The man glanced at Stitch. Lilo looked down at him, feeling a little sheepish that had to happen. She then saw Nani preparing their lunch. Kahlia helped the man up. Nani smiled at the girls. Stitch followed Lilo. Lilo reached for her sandwich and handed Kahila one before Nani would get hers.
Kahlia took the sandwich with a smile. "Thank you..." She says quietly.
Stitch reached to get one.
Nani shook her head "Ah-ah." she half scolds. She didn't notice that he was going to punch her then.
"Ahem!" a voice called. It was revealed to be Jumba with Pleakley and he had a laser ready to capture him with if he was going to be bad, unless he was holding that 'little Earth girl' as a shield.
Lilo munched a little on her sandwich, smiling her welcomes to Kahila. Kahlia looked at them and frowned. Stitch growled rubbing his face and hugged Lilo. Nani merely ate her sandwich. Lilo smiled at the hug and was proud of her dog for being so loyal. Kahlia glared at the two and ate her sandwich slowly. Stitch didn't let it go. Pleakley looked nervous. Lilo petted Stitch as they had lunch together.
"I was this close..." Jumba muttered as the blue creature kept a firm hold on Lilo.
Kahlia was still staring at them. Stitch put up with the petting so Jumba couldn't get him.
"She's staring at us..." Pleakley whispers.
"Do not be looking at her." Jumba averted Kahila's gaze.
Kahlia smirked as he looked away.
"She's doing that smirking thing Gantu does..." Pleakly whispers looking away.
"Do not be worrying, she is a small child and might not tell anyone, if she is doing so, they are likely not to be believing you." Jumba told his colleague.
Kahlia looked at them still. She may have disliked them, but she was also intrigued. Pleakly nodded a little.
Lilo finished her sandwich and wiped her mouth, smacking her lips. "That was the best sandwich ever!"
Kahlia nodded "Yeah, it was nice, Nani." she says.
Nani smiled.
"What's for dessert?" Lilo put her hand in to get anything else, hoping Nani brought a sweet treat for them.
"It's fruit, as I know, you'll be having a big meal tonight." Nani smiles.
Kahlia looked at the fruit with a shrug.
"Really? We can go to a Luau tonight?" Lilo sounded very excited.
Kahlia looked. Pleakley looked confused.
Nani nodded. "Yes, I'm working tonight after all." she says.
"Awesome!" Lilo beamed. "We're going to a Luau tonight! Oh, you'll love it, Stitch!" she then dropped her voice low to a whisper to her cousin. "Nani's boyfriend will be there..."
"Boyfriend?" Kahlia asks, tilting her head.
Stitch looked bored.
Lilo giggled. "Nani likes David, David likes Nani!"
Kahlia giggled sweetly. She looked totally different than when she was glaring and smirking at Jumba and Pleakly.
Stitch looked at her.
Nani blushed. Lilo..." she half-whines/half-scolds in embarrassment.
Lilo giggled a bit as she pet Stitch. Kahlia smiled. Stitch sighed, but put up with it.
Nani blushed. "You still have your money?" She makes sure.
"Check." Lilo showed the dollars and cents she was given.
Kahlia nodded. Stitch looked at the money.
Nani smiled. "Okay, I'll see you later, okay?" She asks.
"Okay, aloha, Nani." Lilo waved to her after their lunch was done and she decided to take Stitch out for more sights.
"Aloha, Lilo, Kahlia." Nani smiles.
Kahlia waved.
Lilo waved, then looked down at her pet. "Come on, we still wanna show you around!"
Nani left to do what she had to. Kahlia followed with Lilo. Stitch followed both to keep them in his sights and as he was curious.
Lilo decided maybe Stitch needed a cool down. "Kahila, have you ever had shave ice before?" she asked before going to the man who ran the local dessert stop as Hawaii was often hot and needed to cool down.
Kahlia shook her head. "Nope." she says quietly.
Stitch looked curious. As Lilo got the shave ice, he was looking at a few postcards.
Lilo went to buy three cones of shave ice with enough money. There was a street dog coming down the sidewalk, looking curious of Stitch.
Kahlia took one with a smile. "Thank you, Lilo." she smiles.
Stitch took his and tried some. Lilo focused on licking hers. The dog came closer behind Stitch and started to sniff his stump to introduce himself to the 'new dog on the block'. Kahlia licked her own too. Stitch glared at the dog and stuck the cone on the dogs head and then told him off.
Lilo looked with horror as this happened and took Stitch away before they could get in trouble. The dog went away with daze. Kahlia followed. Stitch threw the postcards at the dog. Lilo took Stitch and Kahila closer away as they passed a spaceship ride that was only a quarter. Stitch looked excited and jumped into the rocket. He tried to get it to take off. Kahlia watched, raising an eyebrow.
"You wanna ride too?" Lilo asked Kahila before inserting the coin to start the ride, seeing Stitch wanted to try it out.
Kahlia smiled. "No, you and Stitch enjoy it..." she says.
Stitch looked at Lilo, confused.
"Okay," Lilo put in the coin and climbed in to join Stitch.
The rocket wasn't going off to the galaxy despite being called 'Space Adventure', it only rocked back and forth, being a ride stuck to the ground.
"If you are ready to give up, just let us know!" Jumba called to Stitch and laughed.
Stitch groaned and hung there annoyed and dismayed. Kahlia turned to look. She binned her cone and headed towards them. Pleakley looked worried slightly. Jumba was looking around casually, noticing a lot of tourists on this land did, and tried to follow their example. Lilo was having too much fun to notice where Kahila was going. Pleakley nudged Jumba a little too late.
"Why are you following us?" Kahlia asks in an eerie voice.
"We are not to be following you, little girl, we are just tourists..." Jumba tried to cover up.
Kahlia looked at them. "I don't believe you... You have been to almost every place we have... I will get you arrested for following two five-year-olds and their new dog." she says.
Pleakley looked at her nervously.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Jumba said, trying to cover up his guise, but was getting just as nervous as Pleakley.
Kahlia looked him dead in the eyes. "Don't mess with me, I may be young, but as I'm speaking the truth, I WILL be believed..." she says.
Pleakley gulped slightly. "Look, we're not after you or your friend..." he says quietly.
"Yes, this does not concern either of you, it is for a certain creature I have full custody of." Jumba added to the explanation.
"Our dog is not yours... We have adopted him" she says.
Pleakley sighed nervously.
"Dog?" Jumba sounded as though he had never heard that animal species before. Almost as though he were an alien of sorts.
Kahlia looked at him strangely. Even other countries knew what a dog was. Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. Pleakley blinked his eye as he watched her.
"Do you know?" Jumba whispered to the one-eyed being.
"Some species of animal on this planet..." he whispers.
"You're aliens..." Kahlia squeaks.
Jumba laughed a bit to Kahila. "Do not being silly, red-haired little girl! There are no such things as these... Aliens..."
Kahlia glared at him. She was sick of being treated as dumb. Pleakley looked at Jumba, what would they do if she stuck to the actually true story she knew. Jumba wasn't sure what to do now.
Pleakley sighed. "Okay, but you can't tell anyone who we are..." he tells her quietly.
Kahlia looked at him, almost suspiciously.
"Are you promising?" Jumba questioned before they got serious and down to business.
Kahlia nodded. "I'm not saying I'll tell, but what'll happen if it comes out while I sleep?" She asks.
Pleakley looked more relieved that she wouldn't tell on purpose.
Jumba sighed. "Very well... This pet of yours," he pointed to Stitch as he was dizzy from the spaceship adventure ride and Lilo was helping him out. "He is not a member of this planet's species... He is no, how you say, dog. He is an illegal genetic mutation created by I and I alone."
Kahlia looked at them. "Oh..." she says.
Pleakley watched her. "You can't let anyone know." he reminds her.
"Can we be trusting you, wiser beyond years little girl?" Jumba asked to make absolute sure they could trust a mere Earth child.
Kahlia nodded. "Yes, you can." she says.
"Good, now not to be telling other little girl." Jumba warned.
Lilo stretched her legs after the ride and started to look for Kahila.
Kahlia saw Lilo looking and went off to her. "I promise." she told the two aliens before she left.
"Maybe we spare her with Experiment 626's wrath." Jumba suggested.
Pleakley looked at him. "How do we do that?" He asks quietly.
"He can eat the other little girl." Jumba laughed a little darkly.
Pleakley looked at him. "No, no humans are to be eaten." he says.
Jumba rolled his four eyes. "Fine... But the sooner the little girls are away from 626, the sooner we can be taking him away."
Pleakley nodded.
"Hey, Kahila, you missed our spaceship adventure!" Lilo beamed, making it sound like it was a real spaceship going into outer space and not just a coin operated game to entertain children.
Stitch groaned.
Kahlia smiled. "Aww, Stitch got dizzy." she coos.
"Aww, poor Stitch... You had too much fun, huh?" Lilo patted the alien's head, not knowing he was actually an alien and not a dog.
Kahlia watched him. Stitch groaned and looked at Kahlia.
"Don't worry, Stitch, we'll have lots of fun tonight before we go to your new home." Lilo smiled at their pet to cheer him up from the ride that wasn't much for the 'puppy'.
"Luau..." Kahlia grins.
Stitch looked confused.
"You'll see when we get there, it's a lot of fun, plus we get free food cuz Nani works there." Lilo added, seeing Stitch's curiosity of what that might be.
Kahlia nodded and led to where Nani was going to meet them. She gave a little smile to the 'couple' as she passed. Stitch followed by Lilo's side. Lilo smiled at the couple too, waved, and walked to where Nani worked at night. "You'll both get to meet David." she told her cousin and pet.
Kahlia nodded curious about David. Stitch looked around warily as they walked.
"We have to find out where they're going." Jumba whispered to Pleakley.
"Yes." Pleakley agreed.
"Do you know of these 'Loo Owes'?" Jumba tried to pronounce.
Pleakley shook his head. "Maybe we could ask." he suggests.
"Hopefully no one will notice we are not being Earth peoples." Jumba said, then looked around to see an old woman by her fruit stand.
Pleakley nodded.
"We have time for one last stop if you guys want." Lilo offered before they would see Nani and she had a dollar and a couple of coins left.
Kahlia looked at her and shrugged. Stitch merely looked.
"Well, we can get going then, I don't think we can pay for anything else until dinner tonight." Lilo continued to walk and decided to see Nani then since they were done for a little bit of Stitch's tour of his new home.
Kahlia followed. Stitch growled a little.
Lilo went to the spot, showing Stitch and Kahila how to get there and she looked around for Nani as there were other girls there who were about the same age as the older sister. Kahlia also looked around. Nani came out, looking around.
"There's Nani!" Lilo nearly squeaked and went to the older girl she grew up with.
Kahlia followed. Stitch stuck closer to Kahlia at the moment.
Nani smiled. "Hi, girls." she says.
"I had fun, Kahila had fun, I think even Stitch had fun, right Stitch?" Lilo asked her precious pet.
Stitch rolled his eyes. Kahlia smiled.
"You promised we could have free dessert too when you give us dinner." Lilo told her older sister as she helped Stitch into a table to let him sit like a person even if it was against the rules.
Nani sighed. "Okay, take your seats, I'll grab you your food." she says, not seeing Stitch on the chair.
Stitch looked around. Kahlia looked around too.
"It'll get dark pretty fast." Lilo told the two as they got settled before the show would start.
David was coming just then to get ready for a show tonight to entertain people with dinner and a show. It was a great tradition. Kahlia smiled. Stitch scratched his chest a little.
"There's usually a fire dance when David's around." Lilo explained to them, looking around for the older boy who she felt was like a big brother to her most of her life.
Kahlia looked confused. Lilo reached into her bag and took out a book to draw in with some crayons from the kids menu. Kahlia shrugged and settled down.
Nani came by with the girls' food. Night was coming fast as more people came and David was getting ready for his show. Lilo cringed a bit at the sweet potatoes, but started to eat the other stuff. Kahlia just ate all her food. Stitch looked bored.
