Chief: (Widens eyes in shock and surprise, and presses intercom) Kate, the rulebook, look up the Fire Prevention Act!

Kate the Front Office Secretary: Yes, sir! (A few minutes passes before intercom rings again) Okay, I am on the Fire Prevention Act section. What should I look for, chief?

Chief: (Glances at Gio who's casually checking his fingernails, looking confident and sure, and bits his lip anxiously) The fire hazard law for police stations. (A minute passes before intercom rings once more)

Kate: (Whimpers) Please tell me it isn't true...Are we actually breaking the law?

Chief: No coffee machine?

Kate: No coffee machines allowed at all! (Cries) And I was so happy with the free coffee!

Chief: Kate, get the rulebook to the break room, and pull the chief card on them if they refuse to believe, understand?

Kate: Crystal clear, sir. (Intercom ends, and Chief looks up at Gio)

Chief: You are willing to let this go?

Gio: That depends...Is Stitch unbanned?

Chief: Well, since we're obviously going to rid of all the coffeemakers, the dog wouldn't be sugar-crazed accidently anymore...I guess Koki wouldn't mind the extras to help her out in her cafe...(Sighs) Yes, Stitch can come in with no strings unattached.

Gio (grins and shakes hand): Great. I think it would be best if you go tell Lilo the good news.

Chief: Alright, Gio, isn't it? You're quite persuasive, young man. You have done research about Hawaii before you arrived here, huh?

Gio: Yep. And I plan to go to Harvard Law School, and become a lawyer.

Chief: (Whistles) That's quite the goal. And you're only what, 15, 16?

Gio: 15!

Chief: (Laughs softly) You're like the male, teenage equivalent of Elle Woods. Underestimated until it's too late, and you're passionate about the ones you care about. Say, are you going for stateside or international? Like just being a lawyer for the entire US country, or being a lawyer in foreign countries when in need?

Gio: Uh...I honestly just want to be a lawyer within the United States. (Smiles and gets up)

Chief: (Nods) Sounds good. (Walks alongside Gio as they exit the office) If I remember right, Harvard is somewhere south of New York City?

Gio: In Hartford, Connecticut, yes.

Chief: (Blinks) Seems so short on the map, yet it must be quite several hours away, if not a day or two.

Gio (approaches Lilo): Hey, Lilo, I got some good news.

Lilo: Yeah?

Stitch: (Tilts his head while sitting on his bum, behaving as he can see the chief behind Gio, hoping that everything went good.)

Chief: As of now, Stitch is unbanned.

Lilo: (Gasps) Really?!

Stitch: (Widens his eyes, blinks in surprise, looking between Lilo and the chief)

Gio (nods): Turns out a law was broken within this police station, so using that, I got Stitch unbanned!

Lilo: Seriously? You aren't pulling my leg or anything?

Stitch: (Barks softly with a snort, gesturing that he isn't fully convinced yet as he had been banned from this police station for about what, 7 months since the incident.)

Gio: Chief, let them know. (smiles)

Chief: From this day on, the ban on Stitch Pelekai is abolished, no strings unattached or no conditions unneeded. On this, I swear on my badge as a police officer, scout's honor.

Lilo: He's really serious! Stitch, you're free to visit Fibber, boy!

Stitch: (Barks excitedly, twirls around happily, his little tail waggling before he shoots off to the door, his paws twitching as he looked back at the others, waiting for one of them to open it as he barked again, impatiently)

Gio: See, Lilo? Once again, I helped improve your life.

Lilo: You sure did, Gio! (Hugs Gio excitedly for a moment before letting go, and glancing at the chief) Thanks, chief! (Runs to open the door for Stitch who pranced in happily albeit a tad smug)

Chief: That smile of her sure rivals the sun, that's for sure. And looks like Stitch forgave me as well. Well, Lilo knows the way to Fibber's bunkroom/office luckily.

Gio: So...how does Fibber work?

Chief: Well... (Opens door as he and Gio walk back in) When we bring troublemakers in, we test them out by having speakers, earpieces, and of course, Fibber. You know that kind of room that has the window that doesn't see on the other side?

Gio: An interrogation room?

Chief: (Smiles) Bingo! Now, we put Fibber with one of the officers behind the window, wearing a earpiece, of course, and usually, it's me or one of the other officers who does the interrogation, and of course, I have a earpiece. We have hidden speakers, one in the wall closest to the table, and the other speaker behind the window facing Fibber and the officer. When the troublemaker lies during the interrogation, Fibber goes off, and the officer through the earpiece tells me "Lie" as code, and I then wing it, saying that he's bluffing or give him my deadpan expressions, etc.

Now, I am only telling you this as you are clearly a responsible young man, and striving to be a lawyer, and well, lawyers has to work with police often.

Gio: So...when can I meet him?

Chief: (Chuckles) Don't worry, he's on break. Most of the time, he is. This town is peaceful mostly. It's usually tourists and rarely, it's locals, mainly teenagers out of them, and of course, there's a few incidents here and there of bike or car crashes...

I will take you to his bunkroom/office. He may not speak, but he sure writes a good report when I ask for it. (Leads Gio on, and laughs softly) Of course, Lilo and Stitch is there by now as they sure care for Fibber a lot. I am kinda glad that he found a place with us thanks to her and Stitch.

(The scene cuts to everyone inside the break room. As everyone entered, Fibber appeared from the restroom...)

Gio: Oh, hello!

Fibber: (Thrills lightly with a wave)

Stitch: (Barks softly with a swish of his ears)

Lilo: Hey, Fibber. This is Gio, my cousin. He came from New York City.

Fibber: (Nods with a understanding expression, and then purrs curiously)

Lilo: See, I spoke the truth, and he doesn't detect a lie at all. Fibber wouldn't blame you if you're not believing that he's a lie detector. Try a small one. His detector can tell no matter if a lie's small or big.

Gio: Hmmm...I'm wearing ladies' underpants!

Fibber: (Opens his mouth, giving out a buzzing noise, almost like the sound of a loud bee buzz as his head patch glows faintly yellow.)

Lilo: See, Gio? If he detects a big lie, he buzzes really loud like a wood saw or high volume tv, but if it's a small one, he buzzes low like a bee or phone. Same thing for the patch on his head, faint yellow to weak yellow if small lie, yet warm yellow to really bright yellow if big lie.

Gio: Oh, I got another one! Um...I robbed a bank!

Fibber: (Glows a tad brighter, buzzing a tad louder)

Lilo: Take it easy, Gio! We're in a break room! People want to relax with their books and stuff.

Gio: Well, it must make it easier for criminals to be brought to justice.

Chief: (Laughs softly) You got that right! Of course, before Fibber, it was mostly the same yet harder, but with Fibber's help now, we make compromises with the troublemakers after their confessions.

Fibber: (Purrs smugly with a grin)

Chief: It may be his job, but he's truly one of the family here. He's like...er...Kate, what was that you said last week? After that jet ski incident?

Kate: (After a sip from her own bottle of water) Fibber is the peacemaker, literally the heart of the team.

Fibber: (Blushes red in embarrassment with a thrill.)

Gio: Well, I better get going.

Lilo: Already?

Stitch: (Whines lightly)

Fibber: (Tilts his head and coos softly with a wave)

Lilo: (Remembers Gio's spoken plan earlier about grocery shopping for the biggest lunch ever.) Okay, Gio. Me and Stitch will see ya at noon as that's when lunch is ready, yeah?

Gio: So, who else do you want me to meet next?

Lilo: Actually, I don't want to push you too far, Gio. You did great with Clip, Sample, and Fibber, but I am sure there's a limit for you...And besides, you have a lot to do besides grocery shopping, like preparation, pre-heating the oven and stuff, right?

Gio: Oh, right! (hugs them both) I'll see you and Stitch later! (runs off)

Lilo: Bye!

Stitch: (Barks happily)

Chief: Say, before you two go off on adventuring or whatever, what do you say to a couple of donuts?

Lilo: That'd be great! Stitch and I are to do some exploring, and donuts is energy-giving, perfect for keeping the edge off until lunch.

Stitch: (Yips excitedly)

Fibber: (Thrills happily, half wondering if Gio is going to the party tomorrow. He should ask Lilo about that as games are prone to happen in a party like Sparky's.)

(The scene cuts to Gio arriving at the store and getting a shopping cart...)

Gio: Now, to find some meat...(Notices massive chuck roast rib) WHOA! That's huge! (Grabs it and places it in cart)

(Gio continues walking on through the store, pushing the cart with a bit more strength than before as the chuck roast rib is heavy, really heavy. Carrying that in a double plastic bag would put strain on him if he's walking home after shopping...He wonders if he should ask David to help if he's in town today as he remembers that Lilo and Stitch's taking the buggy off to explore through some of the jungle and nearby mountains.)

Gio (grabs a box of bread crumbs from a shelf): I'll also make something fried today...(Sees massive cooler of ice and fish on top) Woah! (Looks up at grocer): Excuse me? What type of fish are here?

Grocer: Oh, those are swordfish, freshly caught thanks to some local fishermen who goes out early at dawn.

Gio: What other fish do you have?

Grocer: Well, we got blue marlin, striped marlin, and cod.

Gio: Is...that all? No sardines? Salmon? John Dory?

Grocer: There's canned sardines, but you seem like a professional cook. You probably wouldn't want that metallic taste. And as for salmon, it's not a tropical fish, only a mainland fish, so you're out of luck there, and besides with shipping, it gets a bit stale before they get here, even with the fastest ships in this decade. (Blinks in confusion) And John Dory, what's that?

Gio (sighs): Never mind, sir. (grabs some blue marlin)

Grocer: Fantastic choice. Have a good day, sir!

Gio (walks off): Moron...(turns into dairy aisle) Hmmm...(grabs a cartoon of eggs)

(Gio then puts the carton of eggs in the seat of the cart, and keeps walking on, pushing the cart.)

(Suddenly, Gio notices David up ahead, putting some milk into his cart. Needing David's help, Gio approached him...)

Gio: Uh...Hi David!

David: (Smiles) Gio! What brings you here today, dude?

Gio: Well, I'm making a huge lunch for my ohana, and I was hoping you can help me with something.

David: Sounds awesome, Gio. Wow, that's really heavy food you got there...Let me guess, you need a ride home, huh?

Gio (chuckles): How did you know?

David: I have seen your bike, and don't blame me here, but the bike's not strong enough to carry all of that, along with you at the side...and you said that you were planning to do this lunch which means Nani must have dropped you off while heading to work, eh? And speaking of which, are you cool with me dating her? I mean, we're adults and stuff, but you're her cousin, and well, you're older than Lilo by some years.

Gio: First of all, I walked here. Second of all, I don't care what adults do if they're dating.

David: Ah, okay, understood. So in short, you're cool then?

Gio: Oh, I'm cool!

David: Awesome! So, are you almost finished? I only need a few more things myself before I check out.

Gio: I'll be a few minutes longer, but then I'll meet you outside.

David: (Nods) That's a deal. See you soon! (Heads off to the cereal section)

Gio (nods): Good...it worked...(grabs bottle of buttermilk and a gallon of double chocolate milk)

(Gio keeps shopping until he gets to the checkout where he sees David at the second checkout, his cart filled up good, and David sees him with a wave, and Gio nods before he goes ahead upon thanking the baggier once he pays off the total of his shopping, similar to David's action, and they both reunite at the doors.)

David: All good, Gio? I have my truck parked just over there.

Gio: Yep! I got all I need!

David: Awesome. Let's go then! (He then heads to his double door 1998 Chevrolet Silverado Truck, with Gio following him behind, proceeding to put the bagged groceries, Gio's bags on one side behind the passenger chair with David's bags on the other side behind the driver chair, as to not confuse and mix up the bags together as that's a stupid idea.)

Gio: Hey, thanks for the lift. I appreciate it.

David: No problem, dude! Say, Gio, how have you been doing so far with having been here for almost a week now? (He then starts up the truck, seatbelt on him, and looks back through the side windows and back window as the truck is parked on the side of the curb, and heads forward, sure that nobody is racing past him, and then drives properly on.)

Gio: Well...I...Uh...well...I didn't want to be here at first...

David: Because of family on the mainland? Your folks?

Gio: Yes... I honestly couldn't imagine being away from them for 3 months.

David: I wouldn't blame you there, but now, Nani and Lilo, that's a whole different league.

Gio (looks out the window): How long have you known Nani for?

David: Gosh, must have been..14 years now...(David is almost 22 years old, and Nani just turned 21.) My folks and I moved here from Honolulu, something about needing a different pace of life when I was 8 years old. We became good friends, getting closer over the years before I really noticed her, like that moment where it hit me, that comment in my head, 'Wow, she's awesome. No wonder why I like her.', and bam, ever since then, I went for the opportunity to ask her out, and you know where it continues on from that...(Sighs) I really love her, Gio...Her parents were fond of me, and they obviously saw that Nani was very happy...but I was to do it that summer, you know...I should have gotten up the courage to ask for their approval for me to go ask Nani to marry me, but it was too late by the time I had the courage...They were gone...I then knew I had to be patient then...and with Lilo depending on her, it seemed like I would never find the moment to pop the question...And now...she's secure and happy...Should I go for it, Gio?

Gio (sighs): I...I...can't answer that, David. And personally, I'm offended with you for asking me something serious like that.

David: I'm sorry, Gio. It's just that with Stitch and the guys being part of the ohana, they are protective of Nani and Lilo, and I don't want them to blab about it in the middle of the day or whatever, and as for Lilo, asking her for her approval is logical, of course, but I don't want to feel pressured by her for she's impatient as you obviously saw. And you're their cousin, but you're not attached to them per sec, and well, you're a friend to me...I guess I needed a sort of outside the family perspective from you...if that's the right word about it...

Gio (frowns): Sorry, but I can't and will not provide my opinion on such a matter. Just get me home, now...

David: (Nods) I understand, Gio. I was pushing a tad far there, huh? (Keeps driving on, turning slightly around a curve as they are almost there to the house)

Gio: Yes, you were.

David: (Chuckles weakly) That's fair.

Gio: Thanks for the lift.

David: (Laughs lightly) Again, it's no problem, dude! Wanna have some help hauling your groceries up the stairs? That rack of meat is twice your weight!

Gio (chuckles): Yep, I might need help. It's tomahawk ribs after all!

David: Right, let's go then! (Heads to help grab a share of Gio's groceries, including the ribs as David is far stronger and taller than Gio)

Gio: Once again, thanks for the ride!

David: Dude, I know you appreciate all of this, but come on, are you getting a tad tired of thanking me repeatedly? I mean, I am glad to see that you're grateful and all, but well...

Gio: David, You have no idea how hard it is to do this without someone to help so I really do appreciate this.
