Author's Notice: My partner GiovanniGo has stemmed a interest in the movie, "Soul", and he claims that he has a brilliant idea from being inspired by it. He's hoping that any of you who has become a fan of "Soul", could help him with a RP story of "Soul", with a OC he has in mind. So, please pm him if you are a fan and all that implies. Thank you. -Traveler. P.S. "Soul" ain't one of my favorites. Oh, the animation and the settings, they are incredible, but well...it's my opinion. Please accept that.
Lilo: (Laughs) It's great to see you too! Been a while, huh?
Clip: (Nods with a purr and chirp, and looks over at Stitch, speaking Tantalog briefly with a thrill, and Stitch nods with a bark)
Lilo: Clip, did Sparky or any other cousin tell you that we got a new human cousin in the family?
Clip: (Taps claws and clicks them)
Lilo: Oh, Frenchfry told you, huh?
Clip: (Purrs with a nod)
Lilo: Okay, he's here, and you gotta be nice as he's a little afraid of aliens. He's trying to face it with Stitch and I's help, and you're one of the more fluffy cousins I could think of, okay?
Clip: (Tilts head in thought before nodding with a chirp)
Lilo: Great. Clip, let me introduce you to Gio Pelekai, my aunt's son on my mom's side, and my human cousin. Gio, this is Clip, one of the cousins around here.
Gio (visibly nervous)
Clip: (Chirps reassuringly and coos)
Lilo: She's saying that she senses that you're good, and she likes you.
Gio (doesn't reply)
Clip: (Frowns and thrills sadly while gesturing with her paws out, her claws back to short size as she's able to grow her claws' size at will, knowing how hairstyles differ with different amounts of haircutting, and that she doesn't want to scare Gio nor hurt him.)
Lilo: She thinks you need a hug.
Gio: Oh...(nervously reaches out a hand)
Clip: (Purrs as her paw touches Gio's hand, extremely careful as her claws are practically short as Gio's fingernails yet technically sharper than them as her claws aren't made of keratin.)
Lilo: See? Her fur is fluffy and soft!
Gio: She's not...hurting me...
Clip: (Thrills happily and looks at Gio with a chirp)
Lilo: I think Clip's adopting you as part of her ohana, and it's official. You can't take that back, Gio. She's stubborn on those kind of things.
Gio (Smiles): Well, she is cute...
Clip: (Smiles proudly with a smug purr, side-glancing at Stitch who only huffed with a roll of eyes, and thrills softly at Gio)
Lilo: There you go, Gio. That's the way to compliment her. Hey, Clip, we gotta go in a minute. Gio has to meet a couple more cousins at least.
Clip: (Chirps sadly with a soft thrill as she turns her head slightly to nuzzle Lilo's chin)
Lilo: Don't worry, we'll see each other soon. You going to the party at Sparky's, right?
Clip: (Nods with a happy coo, and glances back at Gio, thrilling curiously)
Lilo: She's wondering if you're gonna come along with me and Stitch or not.
Gio: Party? When is that taken place time wise?
Lilo: Did you forget? It's on Saturday, at Sparky's lighthouse.
Clip: (Nods with a thrill)
Lilo: It's going to be a heck of a party! If I know Sparky, and I do, he likes to be visited during the afternoon when the sun's not glaring into the lighthouse. So, it'd be probably a late lunch thing as Frenchfry and some others are bound to bring food, and of course, can't forget the music. It's going to be cool with Sample in charge of it!
Gio: What time will it start?
Stitch: (Barks until Lilo looks at him, and Stitch subtly raises his front paws while sitting, giving one claw on one paw while three claws on the other paw, lowering all the rest of the claws in a curl position like sign language, and Lilo nods in understanding)
Lilo: (Smiles brightly) 1:30 pm. Is that okay for you?
Gio: Isn't that tomorrow?
Stitch: (Barks with a subtle nod)
Lilo: So, yeah, are you in or are you out? (Still holding Clip who's tilting her head patiently with a inquiring look on her face)
Gio: Uh...in?
Clip: (Purrs loudly with a big smile)
Lilo: Great! But let's get through today first! We'll see you tomorrow, Clip, alright?
Clip: (Nods excitedly with a thrill, and Lilo lets go of her gently, and Clip chirps with a gesture)
Lilo: Gio, she wants to hear one last compliment before we leave, you know, to boost her self-confidence for the day.
Gio: Uh...I don't know what to say...
Clip: (Coos lightly in understanding, and moves slowly and carefully before nuzzling Gio's cheek like a cat, and after a quick moment of that, she moves back to look at Gio with a purr)
Lilo: (Smiles softly) She's saying that she likes you anyway.
Gio: Yeah...she's very nice, and I'm not in the hospital.
Clip: (Blushes with a chirp, and purrs softly before waving lightly, darting off at one of the hairdressers' call a moment later, realizing that she got a customer)
Lilo: You did great with Clip. (Walks to the door with Stitch behind her, and opens it up, walking outside into the sidewalk, with Gio letting go of the door upon Stitch's exit)
Stitch: (Looks around carefully before whispering) Ih.
Gio: So...who else did you want me to meet?
Lilo: Well, I was thinking about Sample. He's usually at the corner of the fountain on the corner of the empty lot opposite the mart in the mornings before he goes off to the mall on the other side of town for the afternoons. He's a awesome guy, knows a lot of music, and works together with Fox Roswell and the Tall Grays, a local band.
Gio: Music? Eh, sounds too loud.
Lilo: His type of music is the kind that people dances to, with the beat and rhythm. It's like a mix of rock & roll and drum & bass. And besides, how do you know if it's too loud if you haven't heard him?
Gio: Uh...I...don't have an answer.
Stitch: (Subtly snickers under his breath, amused at Gio being suddenly speechless)
Lilo: Come on, then. It ain't far. (Gestures with her head, walking on by heading west, with Stitch following behind with a nudge at Gio's ankle from his side hip)
Gio (sighs and follows them): I still don't think think this one is a good idea...
Lilo: Sample used to annoy people and make them mad when his voice would mimic people, animals, sounds of nature, etc. Of course, it helped in fooling Gantu that day, and boy, he was really furious and annoyed about it.
Gio: That...doesn't make me comfortable around him...
Lilo: Sample is a easy-going cousin, loving to dance to music he could mimic, and it turns out that it's his talent for the band is happy with him living in their houses and such for the night, and of course, like kids, he couldn't help staying still, so they made a condition for him to be happy with, which is just humming/listening very quietly to a low-tuned radio of ocean sounds like the waves. People says that the sound of ocean waves help them to go sleep with no trouble, and it's the same thing for Sample.
Gio (sighs): Alright...I'll try meeting him.
Lilo: Great, and just in time, listen. Sounds like he'd picked a good beat to make and dance to!
Stitch: (Moves his head in rhythm, listening to the beat, a smile on his face as he, Lilo, and Gio got to the edge of the lot, and on the other edge of the lot near the fountain is Sample and his band, doing really good with their chosen song.)
Gio: Eeeeh...not a fan of this song.
Lilo: Oh, but it's not painful, right? Sample hates high or out of tempo notes for some reason. He actually hissed at Pumbaa's high note when Stitch invited some cousins including him over for Disney movie night.
Gio: So...when will I get to meet him? It looks like he's kind of busy right now...
Lilo: He's finishing up. Stitch, your turn.
Stitch: (Nods, and clears throat before giving out a sharp yet normal-sized bark, and Sample glances over at the trio with a smile, never skipping the last note at no fail, and upon the last drumbeat, the crowd around the band cheered and clapped in appreciation and praise.)
Sample: (Gestures at the trio with a almost copy of Stitch's voice) Ohana! (The band nods and Sample sprints over to the trio, vocalizing with a almost copy of Sparky's voice) Meega happy to see ohana! Wheesta you doing here?
Lilo: I am sure you heard the gossip from Sparky and others that we got a new family member, and so he arrived like five days ago. He's my and Nani's cousin, and be nice, okay? He found out about the cousins being aliens, and he's trying to overcome that fear.
Sample: (Still vocalizing, now with a random local's voice) A visitor to the island, eh? Cool to meet you, dude.
Lilo: It's okay, Gio. That's the way he does it. The downside to his talent is that he doesn't have his very own voice, so he's like a little mute that way.
Gio: Uh...hi! Nice to meet you!
Sample: (Using a mix of voices) Youga have good taste in music? You look like the type of person who likes a particular type of music more than others. Meega loving bass and rock & roll, and bit of jazz too.
Gio: Uh...well, I'm not a musical person per sec.
Sample: (Blinks, still using mix of voices) Not a fan, eh? I ain't blaming you. But out of curiosity, wheesta song would you liking me to do at party? Meega can't wait to hang with cousins!
Gio: Hmm...jazz and pop.
Sample: (Smiles brightly, now using Lilo and Stitch's voices almost) Ih, that's a great idea! Thank you, Gio.
Gio: Oh...uh, no problem.
Lilo: Sounds like you got the plan figured out now, Sample. We better leave you to hang out with your band. They're waiting for you.
Sample: (Looks back, and sure enough, the band is patiently glancing upon Sample, packing up their instruments, and Sample turns his head to look at the trio, with a smile at Gio, using a mix of Sparky and Lilo's voice) Meega hope to see you at party. It's gonna be awesome. Meega glad to have you being part of ohana, and hope you have wonderful day today.
Gio: I'll try to! Bye!
Sample: (Nods and waves at Lilo and Stitch, now using David and Stitch's voices almost) Bye, Lilo, and cousin! See ya later! (Leaves the trio, heading back to the band, his ears now thrumming softly of a whistling bird)
Lilo: What did I tell you, Gio? Sample's pretty much chillax.
Gio: You know...you were right. Man, I was so broken before, scared of aliens and all.
Stitch: (Smiles brightly and then barks with a gesture to a street clock)
Lilo: You can put this day down as a success, that's for sure. Oh, is that the time? You probably want to get focused on shopping, huh?
Gio: No, I got some time left still. Which cousin could I meet next?
Stitch: Oh, you need meet Fibber!
Lilo: Stitch, you gotta warn me before you do that! We're in public, remember? (Looks around frantically with a deep sigh, realizing that there was no other people close by them, but still...)
Stitch: (Shrugs sheepishly, giving a apologetic look with a quiet bark)
Lilo: Fibber is a good choice, through you might be annoyed with his beeper thing...You see, he detects lies, and his head glows yellow, urging him to give out loud beeps when somebody lies. He found his true place in being a lie detector with the police which surprised me and Stitch, but it makes sense in a way, really.
Gio: Well, let's head to the police station and meet him!
Lilo: Alright, but I have to tell you that Stitch ain't allowed inside anymore...Let's say that there was a incident with their coffee maker, and Stitch loves coffee...
Stitch: (Looks embarrassed and humbled with a sheepish chuckle, whispering lowly) Ih.
Gio (grins): Hmmm...well, seeing as how I want to be a defense lawyer, I'll see about getting Stitch allowed back in. (Gets out phone, and looks up laws of Hawaii) Oh, I got them good...(grins) Lilo, watch a future lawyer at work...(goes inside police station with Lilo) So, I'll need to see the Chief...
Front Office Secretary: Do you have a appointment, young man? And Lilo, I see you're here too. I trust your dog's outside. You know it took me days to wash-vacuum the carpet here...(Shudders) Coffee stains everywhere. Why, the break room floor had to be replaced!
Lilo: (Winces) Yeah, he's outside, ma'am. Gio, do you really want to do this? The chief's way more bossy than Nani!
Gio: Well, first of all, I would like to see your police chief in his office, and second of all, we're here to visit this lie detector machine that the place has.
Gio: And Lilo, I'm not going to confront him, just nicely chat to him. The key is that if you're nice, your task is more likely to work in your favor.
Lilo: Alright, I trust you, Gio. Do your thing.
Gio: So... I would like to see the chief in his office, please.
Front Office Secretary: (After sighing lightly, recognizing that Gio is serious, and presses Two-Way Intercom, pressing a particular button) Chief, there's a young man who wants to see you, and Lilo's with him.
Chief on Intercom: And the dog?
Front Office Secretary: Lilo claimed that he's waiting outside.
Chief on Intercom: Alright, send them in.
Front Office Secretary: (Looks on to Gio and Lilo) He's waiting for you. Go ahead.
Gio: Lilo, just wait either here in the lobby or outside with Stitch, because I'm going to show you the aftermath of a good lawyer presenting a case! No offense to you, but I need maximum concentration with just the chief and I.
Lilo: Oh. I guess you're right. I will wait with Stitch as he doesn't stand still long enough on his own, anyway. Are you sure nothing bad will happen? I just don't want you to be in trouble.
Gio: Lilo, if there's one thing I know how to do from watching my father do cases, is that if you're nice to someone, and if you point out the right facts, you can get anything you want within reason.
Gio (walks into chief's office): Good morning, sir!
Chief: (Looks at Gio) Good morning to you as well. How does Lilo know you? And I see she isn't here.
Gio: She's waiting outside for me, and I'm her cousin, Gio, from New York City.
Chief: You're related to Nani and Lilo? I can see the resemblance. But that is not why you're here. You're here for something important as you've wished to see me.
Gio: Yes, because I was told that you banned her dog for absolutely no reason.
Chief: (Sighs heavily) We had a reason. Stitch was much behaved when it came to visiting Fibber with Lilo, but one day, someone turned on one of the coffeemakers hours later when one of us forgot to work them on at dawn, and he went straight to the break room, practically gulping up almost every coffee pitcher, and he went bonkers, laughing and grabbing the last pitcher as we chased him around the place, and he went down to the front office. He crashed into a table, not looking where he went when Lilo shouted for him to stop, and the last pitcher broke, spilling everywhere over the carpet. Kate was furious, and so were we. The break room is a sacred place of gossip and relaxation, not messes and sugar-crazed dogs!
Gio: Well, I regret to inform you that I happen to know a loophole that makes it illegal and unlawful for you to ban the dog! (Grins)
Chief: (Blinks, then raises a eyebrow) Is that right? Convince me, then.
Gio (grins): Well, under the Hawaii Fire Prevention Act Of 2002, this fire hazard law legally prevents you from having a coffee machine inside of any break room of a police station within Hawaii. Therefore, you are in just as much trouble for having a coffee machine inside of the break room of this police station at all. And if you break this law, you can lose your job, and if I go to your commissioner, and tell him everything that you just told me. So if you do something for me, such as letting Stitch back in unconditionally, I'll just let it go, and it'll be the last you hear of it. If not, not only will I tell your commissioner about what you did, but I will also get my attorney present, and yes, I have an attorney who is my own father, and he's one of those parents that you don't wanna mess with. (Grins)
