I don't own Lilo and Stitch. But I do own Lohi, and that's a start.

The moment the social worker pulled out of the driveway, Nani turned, and both Lohi and Lilo screamed.

The only difference was that Lilo ran, while Lohi tripped Nani, who was running after her.

"Lohi!"

As soon as Nani was on her feet again, and after Lilo, the phone rang.

"H'lo?" Lohi said, even though she hated to answer the phone.

"Aloha. Is Nani home?"

"Depends. Who is this?"

"The school, Lohi."

"Which school?" Lohi asked. "Mine or Lilo's?"

"Both."

"Both?! Did Lilo punch Kia, too? Oh, that's great!"

"No, Lilo did not punch Kia. Now, is Nani home?"

"Well, yeah, but she's chasing Lilo around. I think that they're bonding. Why ruin the moment just because I punched Kia?"

"Chasing Lilo? Why?"

"Oh, tag, I guess," Lohi lied. "So, you know what? If you'd just leave your name and number after the beep-oh, hi, Nani."

"Who is that?" Nani demanded.

"Um, the school wants to talk to you, but since you and Lilo are, uh, bonding, I thought I'd take care of it."

"Give me the phone."

"Are you sure? 'Cause I sorta hit Kia today . . ."

"You sort of hit her?"

"It was an accident," Lohi explained, still clinging to the phone. "Shouldn't you be chasing Lilo some more until you catch her and . . . No, I didn't think so. Here."

Rejected, Lohi walked into the living room.

"I am so grounded. I accidentally punched Kia after she threatened to tell the office that I . . ." she looked at her little sister. "Never mind."

"Kia's a snob," Lilo said.

"You're only saying that 'cause Nani says that. Kia's my best friend. You know, like that kid, uh, what's-her-face, you know her? Yeah, me and Kia are like you and her."

"Why did you punch Kia?" Lilo asked.

"It was an accident, Lilo. I told you that."

"Well, I accidentally hit Myrtle Edmonds today."

"Ah. How come?"

"She called me weird. She says I'm a freak."

"So you punched her?"

"Uh-huh," Lilo nodded. "Before I accidentally bit her."

"Oh, Lilo, we are both so grounded."

"How did you accidentally hit Kia?" Nani demanded.

"I have unresolved anger issues," Lohi answered. "I didn't mean to, not really. Not deep inside. I had anger inside, and it wanted to go outside, and it just happened to be Kia who was sitting next to me."

Nani said nothing, just staring at her sister.

"Uh, what'd the school tell you?"

"Your teacher said you and Kia were just talking, and then . . . so what did Kia say?"

"Oh, nothing. I told you. Unresolved anger. I'm grounded, aren't I?"

"No, you're not grounded until you tell me why you hit Kia."

"No, Nani. I didn't hit her. I punched her."

"But why?"

"It's a long story."

"Tell it anyway."

"You'll get mad."

Nani sighed. "I'm already mad."

"I know," Lohi said. "How come you're cornering me and not Lilo? It's not fair."

"Lilo's having a time-out."

"Why can't I have a time out?" Lohi asked seriously. "Or just be grounded. Mom wouldn't have cornered me and made me tell her things I'm not ready to explain."

"Fine," Nani sighed. "You're grounded."

"How long?"

"Until you tell me."

"Blackmailer."

Upstairs in her room, Lohi continued to draw.

"Go away, Lilo," she muttered as her little sister stepped into the light. "I can't see what I'm drawing."

Lilo moved out of Lohi's light. "How come you're so mad?"

"Because Nani is blackmailing me. If she wants to know why I punched Kia so bad, then why doesn't just ask Kia?!"

"Nani doesn't like Kia."

Lohi just rolled her eyes. "Go away, Nani."
"I brought you guys some pizza," she said. "In case you were hungry."

"Well, I'm not."

"We're a broken family, aren't we?" Lilo asked quietly.

Lohi looked up at her older sister.

"No!" she said immediately. "Maybe," she reconsidered. "A little."

Nani looked down at her sisters. "Maybe a lot."

There was a long paused where no one moved.

"Oh, I shouldn't have yelled at you guys."

"We're sisters," Lilo said. "It's our job."

"Yeah, well, from now on-"

"I like you better as a sister than a mom."

"Yeah?" Nani asked, a little surprised.

Even Lohi nodded.

"I'll tell you what. If you two promise not to fight anymore-"

"Oh, I can't do that."

"I promise not to yell at you, except on special occasions."

"Tuesdays and bank holidays would be good," Lilo volunteered.

"Sorry, I can't do that either," Lohi said. "I need to be yelled at in order to not punch Kia when she-know what? Forget it."

Suddenly the lights flickered, and then went off completely.

Lilo ran to the window, with Lohi not too far behind.

"A falling star!" they both said simultaneously.

Nani wasn't so sure, Lohi noticed, as she climbed onto her window sill.

"I call it!" Lilo cried, waving her hand in the air. "Get out, get out! I have to make a wish!" she shoved Nani, and glared back at Lohi.

"This is my room," Lohi defended.

"Can't you go any faster?" she asked Nani.

"Oh, no!" Nani said melodramatically. "Gravity is increasing on me!"

"No it's not!"

"Is too, Lilo. The same thing happened yesterday."

Then Nani calloseped.

"You rotten sister! You're butt is crushing me! Why do you act so weird?"

She ran into her room, slamming the door.

Moments later, Lohi heard Lilo's voice.

"It's me again. I need someone to be my friend. Someone who won't run away. Maybe send me an angel! . . . The nicest angel you have . . ."

Lohi might have heard more, if she hadn't fallen off her window sill. She had tried to get closer to Lilo's room, but lost her grip."

"Stupid windowsill!"
