Ohana To Me

A/N Here's more.

I hope Roxy's going to be okay along with Jumba

As usual mahalo to my reviewers, you all rock!

Reuben put his ear to Roxy's door and heard crying.

He felt sorry for her and knew how that must've have hurt her.

He opened the door softly and walked in seeing Roxy on the bed curled up into a ball and looking broken. He felt sorry for her and hoped he could help her feel better as he heard her crying as he climbed onto the bed seeing red rims around her beady eyes.

"Roxy... you okay kid?

You look very sad.

What Gantu said hurt you, right?

I know he also hurts right now too.

It'll be okay you 'll see." he said putting a hand on her shoulder.

"It.... did hurt to find out that I-I...... was adopted and that monster Alu destroyed my birth parents.

I.... feel alone, like I don't have an ohana, not really." she said sadly as he hugged her.

"You're not ohanaless.

You do have a family on this planet with Lilo and the others along with Gantu and me if you want.

You may not be born into it but we are ohana.

We've felt like that ever since you came into Gantu's life.

You changed him for good." he told her eating a sandwich as she smiled sadly.

"I'll think about it Uncle Reuben." she told him as he decided to leave her alone for a while.

He hoped that she would be okay.....


Jumba's eyes opened as the door opened and Pleakley came in.

"How're you..... feeling?" he asked him as he sat on the desk chair beside Jumba's bunk which was the bottom one.

"Still..... very ill.

Jumba.... feel sad about what happened to him growing up on home planet.

Facing Alu like that brought the memories I repressed back to my mind and it hurts me along with this Earth flu!" he said coughing as he drank some juice.

"W-What happened when you were with her?

Maybe it'll help you sleep better knowing it's off your chest like with my group Earwax?" Pleakley told him seeing his room mate and best friend close his eyes before answering him.

"Alu hated me from the moment Jumba was born.

But when she and my mother found out Jumba was genius, she got angry, always saying mean things to me, taking my toys and making me feel very lonely and wishing for somebody who would understand Jumba.

The other kids on home planet were cruel to Jumba too.

They hit him with rocks, say cruel things, shoot him with plasma blasters.

Jumba spent most of childhood in room and lab.

But...... she got mad at me because of an accident in my lab when I was thirteen making my first experiment and that's why she's part experiment.

But she slashed me in the face.

That's where the scar under one of my lower eyes came from but luckily she was sent to space prison for it until she escaped.

Jumba felt that he couldn't...... he couldn't trust anybody ever again." he said crying as Pleakley was shocked but understood how it felt growing up like that.

"It's okay Jumba, I understand." he said as the genius wiped the tears from his eyes.

He watched as Jumba fell asleep again.


Gantu was in his ship on the other side of the island and was feeling sad.

He knew Roxy wouldn't forgive him for telling her the truth about her being his adopted daughter but he wanted to be with her but was afraid she'd stay mad at him.

"I never meant to hurt you Roxy but you had to know.

Naia entrusted you to my care." he thought looking at a photo of him and Roxy.

He hoped that Roxy would forgive him soon but decided to leave Earth for a little while.

Reuben was shocked seeing the ship take off and was worried.

"I wonder where he's going?" he thought sadly as he went back to the Pelekai house.

Lilo wondered what was wrong but he wouldn't answer as he ran upstairs and into Roxy's room......


Roxy wondered what was wrong with her Uncle Reuben as he was curled up in a golden brown ball on her bed beside her.

"Uncle..... what's wrong?" she asked him softly.

"G-Gantu left.

As I was going to the ship on the other side of the island, I saw it...... take off!" he said upset as tears fell from his eyes.

He only really cried when his sandwiches were ruined or Miko and Krista were in danger.

"He left because of me.

I was angry at him and he left.

I may be angry at him but Uncle Reuben's so sad, it hurts." she thought crying as she brought Reuben closer to him as he lay on her chest sad and feeling alone.

"I hope...... he'll come back.

He's my best friend!" he told her sadly as she calmed him down stroking his golden brown fur...

"I'm sorry." she thought.


Gantu sighed as he worked on paper work but Naia saw sadness in his eyes.

"You.... miss Roxy, don't you?

Why did you leave Earth?" she asked him.

"I don't want to talk about it!" he snapped at her but she understood as she put a hand on his shoulder.

"Something happened, didn't it?" she said to him.

He sighed as he prepared to answer.

"She's angry at me.

I told her...... the truth about her being adopted and she took it badly.

I know I was going to tell her when she was older but after what happened, I felt that she should know.

But I still love her as if she were mine.

I wish she'd understand." he explained looking away from her.

"It's okay Gantu, you did the right thing to tell her.

Better now than later.

She'll come around, I know it." she told him.

He nodded in reply.

He hoped she was right.....


Later around midnight, Roxy couldn't sleep at all but saw Reuben asleep on the bed and sighed.

She then decided what to do as she snuck out and went to the Big Red Battleship.

She needed to make a call.......
