Gio (gasps): OH, NO! (rushes into kitchen and opens oven) Oh...never mind! (takes tomahawk ribs out) They're perfect!
Jumba: Being thank goodness for that! Wow, they look delicious! I suppose I be waiting to fix the gutters, and check how many missing shingles are, right after we eating lunch, hmm?
Gio: You bet! Go let everyone know it's almost ready! I still got to finish the fries, fried swordfish fillets, and bread rolls.
Jumba: Hmmm, that sounding really delicious and good! I telling little girl and 626 now. Noodle-head be here soon from mall shopping.
Gio: How does Pleakley go to a mall, and not get looked at, looking funny and all?
Jumba: He wearing dresses and wigs. It one of strange things he does, but it fitting him just fine as he seeming happy about it.
Gio: But...why a girl outfit? He's a male!
Jumba: (Shrugs) He's happy being a disguised woman at times. I think he being suppressed by family, and now on planet Earth, he's being free to do what he wanting to do. I think the word for him being is cross-dresser.
Gio: Well, I think it's taboo!
Jumba: Come on, Earth has progressing into accepting people of all kinds. And besides, 626 is a person, even if he's a alien like me.
Gio: Well, I was raised in a strict household, and I would never be able to cross dress ever in my life.
Jumba: You don't having to do that. I just saying that anybody here on Earth having choices to do whatever they want including cross-dressing. I saw issues on internet and tv.
Gio: Alright, good!
Jumba: Great. I better leaving you to kitchen. (Leaves kitchen doorway, heading to Stitch and Lilo who's laying on the floor on their stomachs, distracted with the show, and muttering to them that lunch's almost there, and the kids nodding in understanding with replies of 'okay', and Jumba then heads off to his and Pleakley's bedroom)
(The scene cuts to the massive lunch of fried swordfish fillets, tomahawk roast ribs, and cheese-filled bread rolls...)
Gio: LUNCH IS READY!
(The foursome of Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley look up from watching a movie, and gets up from the large couch, heading over to the kitchen like versions of Dash Incredible.)
Pleakley: We're here! Wow, all of that looks to be so delicious!
Gio: Well, if you like all this, wait until you see dessert!
Lilo: Oooh, what is it?
Stitch: Ih, tell us!
Gio: Jumbo chocolate turnovers.
Jumba: That sounding very scrumptious!
Pleakley: Indeed, dessert certainly sounds to be irresistible.
Gio: Ever had turnovers?
Pleakley: I never tried turnovers before now as turnovers seem to be a Earth thing.
Jumba: Being same for me.
Lilo: Turnovers are delicious! There are a few kinds of turnovers. Nani and I used to have either apple or coconut turnovers.
Stitch: Coconut turnovers?! Can meega having that someday? (Gio gets a idea to add coconut turnovers to Lilo's birthday feast, mentally noting to ask Nani this evening after she gets back)
Lilo: Sure, Stitch, but now you will have the chance to try chocolate turnovers after we eat lunch which looks possible to take us quite a while to get through.
Gio: I hope you like swordfish fillet.
Jumba: Sounding good to me! Let's eat!
(The scene cuts to night time...)
Gio (yawns): What a day...(hugs Nani) Good night, Nani!
Nani: Good night, Gio, and thanks for telling me the idea of coconut turnovers for Lilo's birthday. I will have to show you the recipe when it gets close to the day. I just hope Stitch remembers that he has to share. He really loves coconut. (Chuckles wryly)
Gio: Oh, no problem. Anyway, I'm sorry for any mistakes that I have made.
Nani: (Squeezes Gio's shoulder comfortingly with a smile directed at him) Hey, it wasn't your fault that Gantu decided to go overboard with the roof or the jeep, and you admitted that taking the tail off Hamsterviel was a accident. Just focus on your vacation. This is Hawaii! You need to relax and all, okay? You hear me, Gio?
Gio: Yes...(sighs) I hear you...
Nani: (Pats on Gio's back happily) Good! Now, let's head to bed. Tomorrow's another day!
Gio: You got it! (walks into bedroom) Good night!
(Nani heads off to her bedroom, ready for bed, and soon enough, the house goes dark, and the sounds of crickets and frogs sound out in the distance as peace is good tonight, awaiting the new day in a matter of hours.)
(The scene cuts to the next morning, where Gio prepared a large breakfast of ham, cheese, egg and bacon sandwiches, breakfast potatoes, and orange scones. After he finished cooking everything, he plated everything on the dinning room table...)
Gio: And...done! (finishes pouring hot chocolate for drinks): And now...(blows air horn)
(Grumbles fill the house as sounds of the family getting up from their beds reach Gio's ears, and he realizes that they're getting slowly used to the air horn routine. In their pajamas, they reach the kitchen, and their faces brighten up as they saw the spread of breakfast)
Lilo: That looks good! (Instantly jumping and sitting down on her seat, and the others do the same thing, their noses twitching and even one tongue salivating)
Pleakley: Stitch, put that tongue back in your mouth, you're drooling!
Stitch: (Heard Pleakley's order, and smiles sheepishly) Meega sorry! Meega hungry!
Gio: Oh, it's alright. Well...go on and take a seat!
(Jumba and Nani takes their seats)
Nani: That looks fabulous, Gio! I can't wait to eat some of that!
Jumba: Bigger girl being right. You been doing great, like usual! You spoiling ohana by being home chef.
Gio: Oh, I wouldn't call it spoiling, I...
Nani: Come on, Gio. You've been cooking breakfast, lunch, dinner here and there for a week straight! You are definitely spoiling us.
Gio: Oh...I can't take that credit, I...
Lilo: Yeah, Nani's right. Your food is really good...You're like...a pro.
Stitch: Ih!
Pleakley: That may be correct, but we will have to get used to be without him once the summer ends. After all, he has less than three months to go yet.
Jumba: Argh, why do you being both annoying yet right at same time, noodle-head? That waiting long time, but we having Gio in ohana, and he liking to spoil us on his choosing.
Gio: Well, if you want me to cut off cooking...
All: NO! (Awkwardly clearing throats, sheepish and quiet after realizing that they all said it at the same time)
Nani: Does that answer your question, Gio?
(After break, Gio did the dishes...)
Gio: Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going down to the beach by myself today.
Jumba: Sounding like a plan, bigger boy.
Lilo: I wish I and Stitch would join you, but we got hula class in a hour, and later on, the party this afternoon at Sparky's lighthouse.
Stitch: Ih!
Nani: I will be with David. Apparently, the date on the hill was fabulous, and David wanted me to see something cool.
Pleakley: Any details on that?
Nani: Just that I can dress normally as I usually do. Neither way, we will be gone most of the day. I will be back for dinner as apparently, he's paying for lunch.
Gio: And I think I will join this party in the afternoon if it's okay with you, Lilo.
Lilo: Of course, all of this ohana is invited, and that counts you as well. The party is going to be awesome!
Stitch: Huh-uh!
Jumba: As being for me, I doing some inventing in ship lab.
Pleakley: Time flies fast for him. I will have to remind you to eat something, Jumba, when I check on you, hear me?
Jumba: Not be worrying about me, noodle-head. (Rolls eyes lightly)
Nani: Looks like we're all decided on our plans then. Let's get you dressed up, Lilo. I have a bit of time before David picks me up. (Gets up from seat at table)
Gio: Once again, thanks for letting me stay here for the next 3 months.
Nani: It's no problem, Gio. After all, you're part of this family! (Smiles brightly before urging Lilo to walk on) Come on, Lilo. I know how you get distracted on the way, but you need to be ready for your hula class.
Lilo: Yes, I know, Nani! Geez, this happens on almost every weekend! (Sends a smirk and wink at Gio, causing him to realize that he will see this happening on almost every weekend.)
Gio (sighs and finishes dishes): Ugh, what a morning...(Exits kitchen)
(After grabbing a 'to go bag' of sunscreen, swim shorts, and a towel, along with a stainless steel bottle of iced freshwater, and a book if he plans to go swimming or just simply relaxing on the sand, Gio then left the house, got on his bike, heading off through the road, into town, and to the beach in the distance.)
Gio (parks bike in bike rack): Perfect! (locks bike on rack) Now, to head to the beach...(sees little "ball" with the numbers 020 on it) Hmmm...a bouncy ball! (puts it into swimsuit pocket) And now, into the water I go! (sets up little area and towel on sand) And it's swimming time! (rushes into water)
(Suddenly, in a brilliant flash, the sphere in Gio's pocket disappeared, and left a pinkish, doglike alien in a straw boater hat and bowtie floating in the water in front of him.)
?: (Tipping his hat) Why, hello, sir!
Gio: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (swims back to the shore) I'm outta here! (covers now-torn swimsuit with towel) This is happening all over again! (grabs stuff and runs down the path)
(Slick, shocked by such a reaction to his friendliness, simply ran after Gio, trying to get him to relax...)
?: Hey, calm down, sir! I didn't mean to scare you!
Gio: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Slick: (Pursues lips in frustration and thought) KID! I ain't going to hurt you! I apologize for scaring you like that, but water activated my pod, and here I am! And I can pay for that swimsuit of yours!
Gio (stops running and points at him) I-I don't trust you! You would send me to the ER if you wanted to!
Slick: Me? Nah. I am more of a salesman and a occasional auctioneer of sorts.
Gio: But...you're an alien, too!
Slick: That's true, but won't you prefer people to like you for who you are, not what you are? It's the same thing for me.
Gio: Uh...(shakes head) No...?
Slick: (Chuckles softly) That's all right. People around your age can be confused and struggling to understand that sort of thing. Are you okay now? No more screaming or running away?
Gio (sighs): Fine...but I need a new swimsuit since YOU tore it apart!
Slick: (Nods) Of course. And as to inform you, my experiment pod reacted lightning-fast to water. Same thing for all experiments before and after me. It can't be helped.
Gio: Now, do you have to fix this?! (points to torn swimsuit)
Slick: Ah, of course, I can barter for you...I can see a shop just ahead! By the way, from the looks of it, you like green and black.
Gio: Barter? What do you mean by that? Will I need to pay?
Slick: I can lower the price from your pick of swimsuit with the owner/seller. And yeah, I don't have green money on me...Is that a good compromise with you?
Gio: NO! I'm not paying for something that YOU broke! Either you get me a free swimsuit, or I'll be forced to press charges against you for property damage.
Slick: Okay, okay, cool your jets! I will get you a free swimsuit, deal?
Gio: Thank you!
Slick: Alright, then, let's go, young sir. Let's get you a swimsuit! (Heads on to shop just a few yards away with Gio following behind, making it to the front of the shop.) Pretty good quality. Look at those mannequins showing off.
Gio: See any red ones?
Slick: Red, eh? Alright, then...let's see here...Ah, how about that apple red one on the far left? (Points to a mannequin on the far left, almost hidden by the corner)
Gio (walks over to it): Ah, perfect! I'll take it!
Slick: Excellent! You look like a medium size. Leave me to it.
Gio: Alright!
Owner/Employer: Aloha, gentlemen, what can I do for you?
Slick: Oh, yes, I promised my good friend here that I would get him a swimsuit, seeing that his former one is ruined forever. You seem like a good man, and I was rather hoping to make a deal with you. Now, I can't help seeing that you ordered way too many boxes due to the overflowing issue behind you, in that storage room.
You look like you need help, especially with your situation, and that injured foot doesn't help matters, either.
Owner: Ah, a nasty collusion with a scooter and a tree would do that...And the doctor says I have to stay off it for two weeks at least, but this shipment of boxes is far too much to move and organize!
Slick: I believe I and my young friend here can help. We are able to assist thanks to being agile and strong ourselves. So, say, in return for fixing up your storage room and getting rid of the cardboard, you could give my young friend here one of the apple red swimsuits for free. What do you say, sir?
Owner: (Taps chin in thought) Well, my employees doesn't come until afternoon time for their shifts as mornings here are slow, but all this overcrowding is driving me crazy as I am partly OCD.
You seem very sure in doing this deal, but let me ask your friend. What about you, kid?
Gio: Uh...Slick, can I talk to you privately before making this decision?
Slick: Oh, sure. Excuse me, sir. I must go speak with my good friend. (Moves a bit further from desk, standing besides a cloth rack)
Gio: Are you insane?! I'm not going to be put through labor on my Saturday after a ruined beach trip that YOU caused!
Slick: I understand that I caused the incident, but I am raised to be polite and friendly. And he needs help, look at him. (Gestures to the owner) Don't be heartless, hmm?
Gio: I-I'm Sorry, but I'm not working! In fact, I got a better idea to not only get my swimsuit, but to also help get his backroom clean...(approaches owner): Sir...I have something I would like to point out, if you don't mind...
Owner: I don't mind yourself speaking up. What is it, young man?
Gio: Well, you working at all with an injured foot is a major liability AND a violation of the Injury Free Employee Act Of 1970! So, if you don't do something for me, like maybe...giving me the swimsuit for free, not only will I contact my lawyer to have you saved for this major violation but I will also contact the corporate office to get you in trouble for breaking rules! (Grins)
Owner: Oh, dear...I didn't know that this Act exists...But I need to keep this shop aloft. It's a tad far from town, and true, the beach is nearby...Could I just supervise upon my employees when they come for their shifts? Not that I don't trust them, but one of them is a freshly hired kid, and with tourist season right now...
Gio: That depends...can I get a new swimsuit for free? (folds arms) If not, I'll make that call...
Owner: I do not want to make trouble or have a big fuss of this situation. Alright, you are persistent. You have the swimsuit for free.
Gio: Thanks. Oh, and about your back room problem, I know just the thing...
Owner: Yeah? Okay, if you're calling for more people, let them know that the shop's name is Kini Lotus.
Gio (dials a phone number for Felix): Hello?
(As Gio waited through the ringing tones of his phone, he then had a flashback of how he knew about Felix and came to receive his phone number)
(Start of Flashback)
Gio just had turned the 12th page of the album, and he saw Felix's picture. Lilo told him about how they met him, and that Felix found his one true place in cleaning up the streets and beaches, sometimes working together with Ploot, another cleaning experiment.
Lilo has convinced Gio to have some of the experiments' phone numbers including Felix, and Gio hasn't technically met him yet so far. (End of Flashback)
Felix: (After two rings) Aloha. Wheesta meega do for you?
Gio: Felix, I need you at "Kini Lotus"!
Felix: Youga have cleaning job for me? Ih, meega in! Meega remember shop location nearby. Meega be there in 10 minutes as meega was just finishing up public bathroom.
Gio (nods): See ya! (Hangs Up)
Slick: Looks like everything's all good then?
Gio: Yep! As the son of a lawyer, I know a few tricks to get what I want.
Slick: You sure do, kid. I am not so going to provoke you ever again. I double swear on it!
Owner: You're really cunning, that's for sure.
