Captain's voice: Attention, passengers, this is Captain Scott and my copilot is named Copilot Tom. Welcome aboard American Airlines flight #4526 to Kauai, Hawaii. Today, we will be flying at a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet, and the temperature outside is now 85 degrees, with winds at 10 MPH. We'll be taking off about 10 minutes, exactly at 7:25am, and our flight time will be 10 hours. We will be arriving and touching down at Kauai International Airport at 2:00pm Pacific Time. The door is now closed, and we are about to push back from the gate. As we do, please fasten your seatbelts, stow away all carry-on luggage, and put all seatbacks and tray tables in their upright locked position. As we now push back from the gate, please pay attention to your seatback TV screens for a brief safety presentation video by American Airlines.
(And with that, the safety videos began to play. Outside on the ground, a luggage ground crew finished loading all checked-in suitcases into the baggage compartment. Once loaded, a crew member slammed the door shut, and locked it up. The luggage loader conveyor belt then backed away from the plane, and the boarding ramp tunnel retracted, and pulled away from the front of the plane. A plane tower/pusher car was already connected to the nose landing gear wheel, and the driver within that car sat down, started it up, and began to push the place back and away from the gate...)
Gio: Yes, getting to the best part!
(The plane then made it to a runway, and began to speed up, going faster and faster until..."WHOOSH", it takes off into the air)
Gio: (Laughs as he feels the growing power of the engines, hearing the faint thrum, seeing clouds and birds zip away in seconds) This never gets old!
(The scene cuts to 2 hours into the trip, when Myrtle woke up...)
Gio: Oh, you alright?
Myrtle: (Groans) I am fine! I keep forgetting that this trip takes forever! Naps never get me all the way to the end of those trips!
Gio: Oh...sorry to hear that. (sighs) I honestly don't even wanna go on this trip. My parents are making me...
Myrtle: (Blinks) Really? You too? Mom back there wants to stay in Hawaii for some stupid reason, and Dad's the same, even after vacationing here in New York. Honestly, I wanted to stay forever in Long Island! I mean, I saw so many shops!
Gio (sighs): But, I can't back out...I'm staying with relatives, so not even at a hotel.
Myrtle: Do you know them well? (begins to drink from water bottle)
Gio (shakes head): Not really. I was a toddler, but my mom told me that one of them is named Lilo and...
Myrtle (eyes widen and spits out water)
Myrtle: You're Weirdlo's family?!
Gio: Uh...yes? And it's Lilo, not Weirdlo...
Myrtle: Sir, I promise you, that when you see Lilo, you'll want to go home!
Gio (scoffs): Really? Do you know her?
Myrtle: Know her? She's practically there in the town where I live, I see her in school, and Hula class, and every other day!
Gio: But...why did you call her Weirdlo?
Myrtle: Because she's weird! She likes all creepy things, and her dog is creepy too! Ugly too!
Gio: That is very disrespectful. If I said anything like that around my family, I'd be grounded for a week!
Myrtle: Hey, I am just saying my opinion! That's my right of speech!
Gio: I never said it wasn't your right of speech.
Myrtle: I know, I am just defending myself, and I learned about the rights of America in school months ago.
Gio: But in my opinion, you shouldn't say disrespectful things like that because one day you're going to get karma which means something will come to you that you don't like.
Myrtle: (Calming down) You're not weird...You're actually nice...I...Am I that mean?
Gio: Yes, that is my first impression of you.
Myrtle: Oh...But it helped me get friends...
Gio: Wait...you got friends by being assertive?
Myrtle: Yeah...I think? (A little confused) They say I get bossy sometimes.
Gio: Maybe...you should not be so bossy. And just because my cousin is different, doesn't give you the right to be a bully towards her.
Myrtle: A bully?! But I don't like her, and her family is weird. Only her sister is normal...She got even more weird since her parents left.
Gio: But not liking her doesn't mean you can disrespect her. And...her parents died!
Myrtle: I suppose. And I know, the town is prone to gossip, so I heard about that, but she didn't cry or anything in class, and that ain't normal. I mean, my friends cried when they lost a pet or something...
Gio: People handle death of a family member differently. Some cry...and some don't.
Myrtle: (Blinks in confusion yet surprise) So, getting more weird is hiding her grief?
Gio: In that way...yes?
Myrtle: (Looking ashamed) Oh...And I made things worse...
Gio: (grins)
Myrtle: What? What did I say? Why are you looking that way?
Gio: You admitted your problem!
Myrtle: (Blinks in bewilderment) Is that a good thing?
Gio: (sighs in slight frustration)
Myrtle: (Gasps softly as she slowly realizes what Gio is trying to tell her) Oh, it's a good thing, then...I said that I made things worse...because I was a bully, right? I shouldn't say bad things to a person I don't like because it's mean...
Gio (puts on headphones): My work here is done...
Myrtle: (Smiles and then turns to tell her mother) Hey, mom, I gotta go to the bathroom.
Myrtle's mom: Of course, hurry back. (Myrtle nods and gets out of her seat, heading to the bathroom while Myrtle's mom pokes Gio's shoulder to grab his attention for a minute) Thank you, young man. I've been trying to get through to her for the last two years, but in two minutes, you made her see the problem!
Gio: Oh...uh...
Myrtle's Mom: Oh, it's okay to be humble. I just want to thank you, and perhaps in the future, you might consider to be a counselor or therapist of sorts. You clearly have the skills for it.
Gio: Nah...
Myrtle's Mom: That's okay. I am just saying some advice, and it's your choice to do anything you want. Well, that's all I got to tell, so I will leave you to your music.
Gio (grins and looks out forward): If it works out, Lilo will love me as a cousin.
(Meanwhile, over in Hawaii, Lilo and Stitch is finishing up breakfast)
Lilo: We cannot be late, Stitch! I got a real good idea for today's hula class!
Stitch: Meega not be late!
Nani: Lilo, get to class on time! I'm off to work! (looks at Jumba) Jumba, do you have that photo of Gio?
Jumba: I do having picture of big boy. Will be easy finding him. Looks little like both of you, bigger girl and little girl.
Nani: Don't forget your disguises!
Pleakley: Oh, we won't forget our disguises, Nani! Now, scoot! You don't want your boss to be annoyed.
Nani (leaves)
Lilo: I hope Gio falls for the disguises. I don't want the government to kill you all.
Jumba: No worry, little girl. We be fine!
Pleakley: Jumba's right. You better get going to hula class.
Stitch: We hurry!
Lilo: Let's go, Stitch! (Leaves table with Stitch running along)
Pleakley: You better behave, Jumba. No invention rambling!
Jumba: Please! I be evil genius, I know when to stop rambling! So, about those disguises, could I borrowing your black wig?
Pleakley: (Widens eye) Why?!
Jumba: We ohana, supposing to share!
Pleakley: (Sighs) Fine, you get my black wig. Wait until you see what I got for you!
Jumba: (Grumbles) Better not be stuffy. Today promising to be warm day.
Pleakley: (Smiles) Don't worry, you will like it!
(The scene cuts to both aliens in disguises with Jumba wearing Pleakley's borrowed black wig, tan pants, along with a brown suit/tie and Pleakley wearing a blouse with a jacket as well as a blonde wig and hat...)
Pleakley: See, I told you that you'd be fine! You look fabulous!
Jumba: Not too bad, one-eye. We better going before be late! I not wanting bigger girl's fury or scary glare.
(Meanwhile, in the forest near a massive waterfall, Gantu's three-occupied ship finally landed, and everyone got down from the cockpit...)
625: Well, I'm going to make everyone some lunch so just tell me what you would like, and I'll get it made for you.
Gantu: I am really hungry after busting you out, Dr. Hamsterveil. I don't mind going for a egg salad sandwich!
Dr. Hamsterveil: Fine! But after this lunch break, you will do my plan as proceeded! And trog, make me a salami and mustard sandwich, and no crusts!
625: Well, listen up, you gerbil. Don't talk to me with that attitude, and I'll make you the sandwich, but if you talk to me that way, I'm just going to hit you in the face! (Slaps him) I have all of 626's powers!
Dr. Hamsterveil: Alright, alright! (Holds up hands to gesture that he's understanding clear)
625 (grins): Good! (Walks off)
Gantu: (Whispers with hand hiding his face partly as he leans over to Hamsterveil) 625 may be lazy sometimes, but you definitely don't want to be on his bad side. He got really mad at me when I emptied the refrigerator one time, and he lectured me on checking the refrigerator more often!
(Meanwhile, the airplane that Gio was on finally touches down in Kauai, and then after a slowdown, glides down the pavement, and then finally parks before the boarding ramp connected to the door...)
Gio (gets up): What a flight... but I think I'm going to surprise my Ohana with some gifts...(grabs bags and gets off the plane, and enters the terminal)
(Inside the airport, as Jumba and Pleakley parked their car in the parking lot out outside the baggage claim building, Gio entered the gate area and saw a massive gift shop...)
Gio: I think I'll buy everyone a present! (Enters gift shop) Woah...What to buy..?
(The scene cuts to Gio buying a framed city skyline display for Nani, a new video game for Lilo, a book on the history of Hawaii, and a chemistry set...)
Gio: Now, Mom did inform me that Nani told her about 2 new uncles, but for some reason, Mom couldn't see a photo. (Shrugs) Oh, well, it's not like they're aliens or something...(walks ups to register)
Cashier: Aloha! Okay, that is $43.67 in total.
Gio: (hands her debit card)
Cashier: (Scans debit card, nods with a smile) Excellent! (Hands back debit card and gift bags holding Gio's gifts) Have a beautiful day!
(Gio, now with a bag of gifts as well, entered the baggage claim area, and went over to the nearest baggage carousel, just as all of the bags from the flight appeared...)
Gio: Now, where are my bags? (Sees them at the end) Yes! (Goes and collects them) Now, to find my relatives...(looks around)
Pleakley: Do you see him? (Disliking strong about the fact that he's shorter than Jumba who's taller to see everything better, especially with four eyes)
Jumba: No, not yet! Why are so many black haired people?! Wait, I think I seeing him. (Brings out photo and looks up to check against the photo) Yes, that's big boy. Right over there by the spinney luggage machine!
Pleakley: (Calls out, raising hand out) Gio Pelaki! Over here!
Gio (looks up): Huh? (holds suitcases and looks around) Who said that?
Jumba: You being not loud enough, one-eye. Gio Pelaki! (Waves hand up and out)
Gio (Walks over): Uh...who are you?
Pleakley: (Smiles) I am your Uncle Pleakley, and this is Uncle Jumba. Nani sent us to pick you up!
Gio: Oh, okay! (hugs them both) It's so good to see you both!
Pleakley: It's so nice to meet more ohana! How was your trip, Gio?
Jumba: You not tall as bigger girl, but bigger than little girl.
Pleakley: Fond nicknames Uncle Jumba calls by Nani and Lilo, it's normal for him. (Waves hand casually) Did you get through safely?
Gio: Meh, it was fine. Anyway, where is your car?
Pleakley: Just outside! Come, come, you're going to love the sights on the way!
Gio: Say, can we stop for some ice cream along the way? My treat!
Jumba: Ooh, that sounding marvelous! Ice cream soft and refreshing!
Pleakley: Lovely idea!
(The scene cuts to Gio sitting in the front-passenger seat of the jeep, with Jumba driving away from the airport. The scene then cuts to a shot in the main town, where the jeep drove down the road...)
Gio: Hmmm...Nice town, I guess...
Pleakley: And it's peaceful too! We get a lot of excitement out of many things around here, but it's known to be quiet at times.
Gio: So, where is this ice cream parlor?
Jumba: Just around corner! Many flavorings delicious!
(The scene cut to Gio, Jumba, and Pleakley exiting the parlor, with Gio eating a large 5-scoop sundae, while Jumba and Pleakley each had vanilla cones...)
Gio: So...does my ohana live in a luxurious villa?
(Pleakley and Jumba glanced at each other silently with Jumba gesturing to him to explain, and Pleakley giving in with a nod)
Pleakley: We have a humble home, but it's not a villa. It belonged to your aunt Marina and uncle Kai before...the accident, and now it belongs in Nani's name.
Gio: Oh, okay...is it near a beach? I love going to beaches.
Pleakley: Unfortunately not, but our home is near a river and the jungle. The beach is 15 minutes away. Easy to walk or drive there.
Gio: What about by bike? I was thinking of renting a bike for the summer.
Pleakley: Bike? Oh, we have never tried bikes before! But I heard Nani saying that biking to the beach takes 5 minutes if you go fast, 10 minutes if you dawdle, take time to smell flowers.
(The scene then cuts to the jeep parking outside the front of the house...)
Gio (looks out window): Woah, nice place! Do you got internet?
Jumba: We having excellent computer, high quality internet!
Gio (grabs all bags): Do I have my own bedroom?
Pleakley: Indeed, you do, Gio. And we got a red queen-size blanket for the bed. It may be hot during the day, but it gets cool, especially with the crosswind breezes.
Gio: Don't you got air conditioning?
Pleakley: We do have a couple of air conditioning units, but only used during the day. Nani says to save money, we are to open screened windows if we want to, with the breezes that come during night. And Uncle Jumba built a alarm system as well to alert us if forces of nature happen.
Jumba: (Grins) I am genius!
Gio (Grins): Well, my mother sent Nani money to deal with that at night. I won't tolerate heat while sleeping.
Pleakley: Lilo doesn't know luckily, but one time when I and Jumba asked Nani, we were shocked at the numbers.
Jumba: 10,000 really big money!
Gio: So, when Nani comes home, I'll clear that up with her. (walks up stairs) So, do I have my own bathroom, too?
Pleakley: No, unfortunately not as there's only two bathrooms. You are going to share our bathroom which strictly belongs to males, and besides, you don't definitely want to share the girls' bathroom.
Gio: I'll make a note of that...
(Jumba gets upstairs and unlocks the door...)
Jumba: Welcoming to the Pelaki-Jookiba-Pleakley house!
Gio (looks around): Hmmm...where is my guest bedroom?
Pleakley: Between the laundry room and the boys' bathroom. Opposite Lilo and Stitch's tube elevator. My and Jumba's bedroom is up the stairs from the main floor.
Gio: Tube elevator?
Jumba: Invention of mine! Little girl wanting a room higher than any other spot in house, so designed to look like a spaceship of sorts as little girl likes outer space. Shares with dog, Stitch, not mind elevator, loves it.
Gio: Say, where is this dog?
Gio: I'm not a dog person, but I do wanna meet him...
Pleakley: Oh, Stitch's waiting for Lilo outside the community center about this time of day as hula class is to be finished soon.
Gio: She takes a dog to hula?
Pleakley: It's habit, been for a while, and besides, Stitch behaves himself, knowing how hula class is important to Lilo.
Gio (goes into bedroom and keeps door open): Well, I'm going to unpack...but I got you each a gift! (hands chemistry set to Jumba) That's for you...(hands book on Hawaii to Pleakley) And this is for you!
Jumba: Basic chemicals, but I happy as I have idea! Thanking big boy!
Pleakley: Remember, no explosions in the house, Jumba, you promised! And oh, this is wonderful, the history of Hawaii! This will help me to socialize with other people better! I hope there's a section of fashion in here somewhere! Thank you so much, Gio!
Gio: No problem. I got something for Lilo and Nani when they return. (begins to unpack) And now, I'm going to unpack. Thanks for the ice cream.
