Myrtle: (Shaking slightly) Death row? I only name-called Lilo!
Nani: (Coming out to join Gio and Lilo after being relieved that the meat is cooked throughly, and went to support Lilo quickly) Oh, Gio, quit it, you rascal! He was only exaggerating, but yes, his father is one of the best lawyers, and the consequences for verbal abuse which is name-calling and other things similar to it is either fines which is money, or community service. Community service mainly means picking up garbage, working with animals at the shelter, cleaning stuff off walls, etc.
Myrtle: EEEEEEEWWWW!
Gio: And not to mention that I can get a restraining order filed against you as well, and get you suspended from hula classes which I'm pretty sure you don't want ...
Myrtle: (Shakes head) No! I don't want to do community service or get suspended from hula classes!
Gio: So...will you heed Lilo's warning?
Myrtle: (Looks at Lilo directly and takes a deep breath) Hello, I am Myrtle. Wanna be friends? (Offering hand)
Lilo: (Smiles warmly and happily as she shakes Myrtle's hand momentarily before letting go with a gesture) Hi, Myrtle. Yeah, let's be friends. Do you want to come in? We got lunch ready.
Myrtle: No thanks, Lilo. I already ate.. But...could you play with me later?
Lilo: Sure! We can go to the beach! It's not Thursday yet, but I am sure Pudge would like you.
Myrtle: He ain't mean?
Lilo: Nope! So?
Myrtle: Well...I have no plans really..3:30 pm?
Lilo: Yeah! Nani?
Nani: Sunset is around 5:40 pm, and it's 12:03 pm right now, and of course, we must allow dinner to digest for a hour after eating, so yes, 3:30 pm is fine. And Gio, will you accompany them to make sure they're safe and all?
Gio: Whoa, I got plans, Nani. I can't be relied on to be a babysitter.
Stitch: (Barks)
Nani: (Blinks in surprise) Do you want to go with them, boy?
Stitch: (Whines)
Nani: Alright. Lilo, make sure Stitch behaves when it's time to go, and he will watch out for you two.
Lilo: You got it, Nani! Stitch will be good, I promise! Is that okay with you, Myrtle?
Myrtle: I guess as long as he ain't mean to me...
Lilo: Nani?
Nani: It's settled, then. At 3:30, you will go to the beach with Stitch and Myrtle, and be careful!
Stitch: (barks happily)
Lilo: Thanks, Nani. See you at 3:30, Myrtle!
Myrtle: See you then, Lilo. Enjoy your lunch! I will tell Mom about our plans. Bye! (Waves goodbye and leaves)
Gio (Closes Door): Well, Lilo, what do ya think? I improved your life!
Lilo: This is one of the best days of my life! I never thought to hear Myrtle say sorry to my face in all my years of life until now! You really got her to see stuff she never thought about before.
Gio (holds out arms)
Lilo: (Hugs Gio tightly and happily) Thank you, Gio! You're the best cousin, ever!
Stitch: (Clears throat) Best cousin?
Lilo: Best human cousin.
Stitch: (Satisfied smile) Ih!
Gio (rubs Lilo's back)
Nani: I agree too, but we can't keep our lunch waiting or it's gonna get cold!
(The scene cuts to Gio and everyone having lunch...)
Nani: Well, Gio? Did I succeed?
Gio: This is more like it!
Nani: Glad to hear it. Just curious, what's in your plans this afternoon?
Gio: Well, I'm going to finally rent that bike.
Lilo: Cool!
Gio: But my rule is that no one else touches the bike except myself.
Stitch: Because it Gio's bike, ih?
Gio: Yes.
Nani: Are you taking your cell phone with you? I know you can take care of yourself just fine from what I saw and all, but I just want to have some peace of mind, and I don't want to tell your parents if you get into a ditch or something.
Gio: Nani. I always take my cell phone with me so stop acting like I'm a little kid that has never been outside before
Nani: I know you're not a little kid. It's just that Kauai is far different from New York in many things. Sounds, nature, etc.
Lilo: She's right. There are ditches and potholes among trails out there. I've taken a fall once or twice myself while I rode my bike or walked with Stitch.
Gio: Oh, you are all just trying to scare me!
Nani: We're not. We have lived here all our lives, Gio. I know you have Central Park, but the jungle, it's vastly different. You are going to experience life here for the next three months, so don't expect that it will be like New York. And I am not stopping you from going out there, I just want you to be careful for your sake and your parents' sake, not counting mine!
Gio: Alright, alright...(grabs phone) See ya later!
Lilo: See you later! (waves)
Stitch: Lilo watch movie until time to go to beach?
Lilo: Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!
Nani: Good. Pleakley, help me out with cleaning these dishes.
Pleakley: Of course, Nani.
Jumba: I be heading to ship to check mechanics in case if anybody be needing me! (Leaves to the back door to meadow trail to ship)
(The scene cuts to Gio entering the bike shop...)
Gio: Excuse me?
Owner of bike shop: Aloha. Welcome to Manta Wheels! What can I do for you?
Gio: I'm here to rent a bike for the next 92 days...
Owner: Oh, my! You're not one of the usual tourists, are you?
Gio: No...I'm here with my relatives.
Owner: Someone I might know?
Gio: No...my name is Gio Pelekai...
Owner: Related to Nani and Lilo Pelekai? I know of them..
Gio: Oh...Anyway, can I rent a bike?
Owner: Of course. Now, with Nani and Lilo being locals, I am sure they told you of the prices, but to refresh, $15 for a day, $50 for a week, $120 for a month. And for three months, I usually go for $305, but since I know Nani, and you seem to be a respectable person, I can lower the price to say, $285?
Gio (nods): Sure. (hand him unlimited debit card)
Owner: Actually, I allow people to test-drive their pick of the bikes before paying. It's considerable hospitality that way. After all, nobody knows until they try it out for size.
Gio: Oh...uh...(notices large red one) A red one! (walks over to it)
Owner: Excellent choice. That one has three speeds, and great suspension, quick maneuverability, instant-stop brakes, and it's able to go over most of surface areas like cement, dirt, mud, water puddles.
Gio: I'll take it...if I can get a red helmet.
Owner: (Smiles) I believe I have the perfect one. (Heads to helmet shelves, and up high, he plucks a shiny red one with black and green accents here and there, and heads back to Gio) Here, see how it fits you. And do a loop back and forth in front of the shop, see how that beauty takes to you.
Gio: I prefer a full red one...(hands it back)
Owner: Ah, my mistake then. (heads back to helmet shelves, puts back the first choice, and after a eye-turn between two favorites, he plucks the more streamlined, full red one off its shelf spot, having the feeling that Gio likes to go fast, heading back to Gio) Here you go.
Gio: Now that is more like it! (tries it on)
Owner: How does it fit, young one?
Gio: My name is Gio, and it fits well.
Owner: Of course, Gio. I am glad to hear that. Go ahead, and see to take your bike for a test loop?
Gio (gets on bike): Sure! (goes around the block before coming inside)
Owner: Well, I see no problem with the tires. Has the bike reacted to you well, and vice versa?
Gio: I'll take it, no questions asked.
Owner: (Chuckles) That answered my question there. (Walks to the register and card checker) May I see your card, Gio?
Gio (gives him debit card)
Owner: (Scans the bike tag first, then debit card.) Ah, here it is. Alright, it's all yours for the summer, Gio. (Hands debit card back to Gio) If there's a dent or anything, come see me, yes?
Gio (walks out with bike): Alright. Bye!
Owner: Aloha! (Talks to himself) Best customer this summer so far. Good kid, through. (Smiles with a nod)
Gio (gets on the bike and puts helmet on): I'll ride it home! (Rides the bike down the path)
(As Gio rode through the forest, Dr. Hamsterveil was on a high branch above him, looking down and grinning at Gio, ready to jump on his head again...)
Hamsterviel: Almost, almost...Now! (Jumps off branch, diving down to land on Gio's head, not expecting that the bike is jarring him off his balance)
Gio (feels something on his neck...): Huh? (Stops bike): What the...(turns around and sees Hamsterveil): AAAAHHHHH!
Hamsterviel: (Claps paw over Gio) SHUSH! Are you trying to deafen me or alert the whole jungle?!
Gio (grabs him): You evil bastard! (Grins): Time to die!
Hamsterviel: Hey, what happened to the apology back on the cliff?! I just wanted to scare you as payback for the blender fiasco!
Gio (grins): That was a lie! (Walks over to cliff) Any last words?
Hamsterviel: I just want to tell you that I admire your guts! I mean, scaring Gantu, that fish head with a threat of a movie and then a gun! You are a genius! Gantu is such a coward...For the millionth time, I wonder why I had hired him...
Gio (glares): You think I'll join your side for telling me that? WRONG! (dangles him over the edge)
Hamsterviel: Ahhh! Please don't drop me! Don't drop me!
Gio (lets go)
Hamsterviel: AHHHHHHHH!
Gio: HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hamsterviel: (Sees tree coming at him, and he reaches out to grab into a branch, shaking and moving up and down) That was close!
Gio (glares): OH, COME ON! NO FAIR!
Hamsterveil: (Comes into branch, scribbling along it like a squirrel until he reaches the widest part of the branch, and turns around, smirks) HA! Karma comes around! Hyah-hyah! (taunting him with a laugh)
Gio (grabs rock): NOT FOR LONG! (Tosses rock at him)
Hamsterviel: AH! (Ducks with ears pulled back, watching rock soar over him) Ha, you throw like the earth girl!
Gio (Glares): Wait...(reaches down and jumps): This branch isn't too far! (grabs him, and gets back up) Now, to kill you ANOTHER WAY! (bikes off with Hamsterveil inside bookbag)
Hamsterviel: (Muffled inside bookbag) Get me out of here, you son of a brat! No, trog of a brat!
Gio: No! You're gonna die, and that's final!
Gio: Now,...how to kill him?
Hamsterviel: (Muffled voice) It stinks in here! I am gonna haunt you if you won't get me out of this pack!
Gio: Sorry, but I regret to inform you that the only place you're going is to die today.
Hamsterviel: WHY?! You are supposed to be part of that earth girl's ohana, and they ain't murderers!
Gio: Well, I hate to tell you this, but I'm more vindictive than them, and if you are dead, they would all be safer so I'm doing them a favor!
Hamsterviel: Wait, so you are unforgiving me all this time?! Looking for vengeance?!
Gio: From what I was told about you, you tried to cut Stitch in half with a laser!
Hamsterviel: He's a experiment! Experiments are supposed to be closely watched and dissected by evil genius scientists like me! But he's paling around with that pathetic earth girl instead of destroying planets, cities, the whole galaxy!
Gio: Just shut up and accept your fate!
Hamsterviel: (eeps in fright at Gio's tone, and gulps as he quiets down, realizing that Gio is far more scarier than 625's bad side)
Gio (gets back home and enters the house): Now, when I get the chance, I'm going to get the blender again..
Lilo: Aloha, Gio! How was your ride? (Dressed in swimsuit and towel draped around shoulders, almost ready to head to the beach)
Gio: Oh, it was good. My new bike is in the garage if you want to go take a look at it.
Lilo: Cool! Come on, Stitch, let's go look at it for a minute and then head to the beach! I can't be late to play with Myrtle! (Opens door) And I know, Gio, no touching! Bye! (closes door)
Stitch: Stitch excited! (Wearing a dog sized vest as he doesn't want to sink) Bye, Gio! (Goes through dog door with a grin)
Gio (Hides book bag in the cabinet underneath the sink quickly) Coming!
Hamsterviel: (Not feeling moving motions anymore, feeling a thump as he was put somewhere) Wh-where is this place now? (Struggles to get out of bookbag, but Gio had latched it rather tightly)
(Outside...)
Gio: Neat wheels, huh?
Lilo: It's big! And real shiny too!
Stitch: Gio likes red, ih?
Gio: Yeah, it's my favorite color.
Lilo: I can't wait to see you do stuff on it, I mean, you gotta know a couple of tricks, right?
Gio: Whoa, I don't do tricks on a bike, Lilo.
Lilo: Oh. Okay, I understand. (Feels tug at hand, looks at Stitch)
Stitch: No late! Run now!
Lilo: Oh, my gosh, I gotta go, Gio! If you're wondering where the others are, Jumba is still in the ship with Pleakley helping out, and Nani is shopping for groceries again through I think David called her out for a date! See you at dinner, Gio! I can't be late!
Stitch: (Jumps into tricycle) Ih! Bye, Gio! (Sees Lilo sitting behind him, and then quick as a flash, the tricycle goes off into dust, Lilo and Stich disappearing down the road to town and of course, through town to the beach)
Gio (grins): Dinner! Oh, I think I know what to do now...(goes back inside and opens cabinet) Hamsterveil, I got good news and bad news! (opens bookbag and ties him up)
Hamsterviel: Does the good news say that I am free to go?
Gio: No...but the good news is that I'm not going to blend you.
Hamsterviel: Really? Then what's the bad news? (Looking suspicious)
Gio (grins): I'm gonna cook you in the oven for dinner!
Hamsterviel: NO! You won't take me if I say anything about it! This is my fur, my body, you aren't going to put me in that oven! I am not a earth bird!
Gio: Does it look like I care?!
Hamsterviel: I am going to scream bloody loud if I am going to be at your mercy, and you won't stop me! (Takes deep breath, opening mouth as to go scream)
Gio (tapes his mouth Shut)
Hamsterviel: (Blinks in shock and surprise) Humpfhhh! (Nope, can't talk)
Gio (pulls out cooking pan and places Hamsterveil inside): This is gonna be good! (Preheats oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit)
(Meanwhile, a spaceship from the Galactic Federation landed in the woods nearby, and both the grand councilwoman and two guards came off looking for Dr. Hamsterveil)
Grand Councilwoman: Gentlemen, please alert me when you have sight of Hamsterviel. I will see to Jumba and Pleakley, ask them if they had seen him as their ship is nearby.
Guard 1: Yes, ma'am!
Guard 2: We will take care not to be seen by civilians, ma'am!
Grand Councilwoman: Very good. Be on your way then. (Nods with a gesture and the dinosaur-like guards go off quietly, quickly, and stealthy) I do hope they have seen or heard something of him. (Heads off to Jumba and Pleakley's ship, knowing the location of it thanks to Pleakey's directions via space internet)
(Suddenly, a random tourist walked by, using his Iphone to watch Gio's current livestream...)
Tourist: Oh, I like this guy! He's about to cook the rabbit in the oven!
Grand Councilwoman: (Hides behind jungle bushery and widens eyes as she recognizes Hamsterviel who's all tied up and taped shut, and clicks button on her wrist that makes her invisible, leaning closer without the tourist seeing her, wanting to see more clues that could lead to Hamsterviel's location)
Gio (appears on camera) Now, I'm going to chop up some carrots, onions, tomatoes, and corn...(chops up the vegetables) And then, place them all around our main dish! (places vegetables around Hamsterveil)
Hamsterviel: HMMMPH! (Trying to struggle but no use)
Gio (drizzles him with olive oil): And a light drizzle of this before he's oven ready! (puts on oven mitts)
Grand Councilwoman: (Gasps softly as she recognizes those mitts! Those were her gift to Stitch for his birthday last year, knowing that the family uses them including Stitch to do things in the kitchen!) That's where he is.. (Runs off to the house, not having visited the house often, but knows where the kitchen is)
Gio: And now...(places iphone on counter while leaning it against flowerpot) It is time for this rabbit to be cooked! (opens oven and grabs pot) And in it goes...(approaches oven)
Grand Councilwoman: (Reaches house, climbs up the stairs, and opening the door, slips into the kitchen) STOP!
Gio (looks up): Uh...EXCUSE ME?! I'm trying to film a livestream here!
