Gio: Cunning?

Owner: You said you're a son of a lawyer. Lawyers has a sense of cunning. It's like...What was that the boys talked about? Oh, yes, cunning is part of Slytherin's code.

Gio: Well, I don't mean to come off as cunning, sir, if that's a bad thing.

Owner: That's not a bad thing. After all, you'd need that cunning to look into people's eyes at trials and such if you are looking to take upon your father's legacy.

Gio: Oh...thanks...(grabs red swimsuit) Have a good day! (leaves with Slick) You gotta meet my family!

Slick: That sounds nice, but during all of this, I never got to ask for your name.

Gio: Oh, I'm Gio. And...I'll call you...Slick!

Slick: A name? For me? Thank you so much, Gio! I have been always been called 020, but that's a number. Though, why Slick?

Gio: Well...you just know how to bargain!

Slick: (Laughs warmly) I see now. Slick. (Smiles) My name's Slick. (Speaks to himself to say it out loud for just the sound of it) Thank you, Gio, for giving me my very own name. And oh, you're very observant besides cunning. You'd be a excellent lawyer which I can very easily believe to see!

Gio: Oh, I don't know about that. I...

Slick: (Tilts his head in confusion) Unless I am wrong about you wishing to be a lawyer?

Gio: A little...(rubs the back of his neck) I really don't know what I want to be!

Slick: (Hums thoughtfully) You seem like a respectful age of 15, perhaps 16. This may be stupid to ask, but think back to...say, 7 or 8 years old. What did you want to be when you grow up?

Gio: I never thought like that at that age!

Slick: I have never been a family man or parent, but a lot of my former customers in outer space occasionally brought their young children around, and they often said the craziest, yet logical things that adults sometimes don't say, wishing to be a chef or zillionaire.

What about school? I remember watching a class on cable in the ship where they had this sort of cool future job imagination in show and tell. You must had a similar class yourself.

Gio: My school...hasn't discussed careers...not yet, anyway.

Slick: Oh...a boarding school then? Makes sense. What about TV or books? You must have seen or read about positions of jobs and such...

Gio: What?! No, I never went to a boarding school!

Slick: I assumed wrongly then. I apologize for that...(Chuckles softly) You'd probably laugh about this, but I actually wanted to be something else when I was created to bargain. I saw this show on cable, and I wanted to be a spaceship flipper of sorts...

Gio (laughs): For real?!

Slick: (Nods) Indeed. I also had a idea of adding a trading/bartering shop of sorts inside every spaceship I would flip, and of course, the objects in the shop would be of fair value for all of everyone's expectations while the very high valued objects would be in deep secrecy in storage, reserved for very invaluable customers.

Gio: That sounds...fishy.

Slick: (Tilts his head in curiosity) How so, Gio?

Gio: Well, you can't hide high-valued objects away from customers like that.

Slick: What about gossip or word of mouth? I just don't want to bring criminals or even a tyrant to the spaceship port or anything!

Gio: Well, unlike you, I was raised to never lie.

Slick: (Sighs lightly) I will give you that. (Looks around now as he was following Gio, and he sees a lighthouse in the near distance) Where are we going now?

Gio: Oh, we got a party to attend, but first, I'll introduce you to Lilo! And...I forgot when the party is, so we'll ask her. But first...(sees public restroom) I got to change. (gets out book bag with change of clothes inside) Wait here.

Slick: (Nods and sits upon a bench) I'll wait. But we can't afford to be late for the party, please hurry!

Gio: Alright! (goes inside)

(Meanwhile, at Gantu's ship, the computer went off...)

Gantu: (Grumbles lightly) Just as I was getting to the good part of the movie! (Gets up from his big chair-bean bag, pausing 'Free Willy'.)

625: Hey, come on! You spilled my popcorn! (Stares at the bowl flipped over the side as he was sitting in the cup slot, temporarily reused as 625's seat)

Gantu: (Ignores 625's proclamation, and looks at the computer which originally stored all the pods of Jumba's experiments, gingerly pressing a finger to the podium, and the computer alighted up on top, revealing Slick) What do we have here?

Computer: Experiment 020 activated!

Gantu: Ah, another experiment! Better not be one of those punchy ones. (Grumbles roughly)

625: (Laughs lightly) Nah, he's pretty harmless except for auctions! I still remember that time he tried to sell off Jumba's ex-wife...Ah, someone made a video of that before Jumba noticed...(Chuckles wryly)

Gantu: But Hamsterviel wants anything I find!

625: Well, have fun! (resumes movie)

Gantu: You better record it, 625! (Sighs) At least Hamsterviel's tail is back on himself, through I was surprised at the speed of those troops taking him back to jail yesterday...

625: Yeah, Hamsterviel actually surrendered, yelling that the Gio boy is a demon from hell, all that jazz, and that he wanted to stay away from the demon for a long time...Through I have a feeling that he will be back physically within a month, two months tops. After all, he sure has a grudge...especially when his tail got stitches and stuff in it, thanks to that kid.

Gantu: For once, I have to agree with you there. I will be back, and don't forget to record it! (Leaves the ship)

625: (Mutters while looking at the movie) I wonder if Hamsterviel got a different cell this time...Oh, well. (Clicks the 'record' button, not wanting Gantu to be double pissed off if he loses the experiment again which is pretty normal around here.)

(Meanwhile, as Gio exited the bathroom fully clothed, the ground began to rumble...)

Gio: Oh, no...

Slick: What is it, Gio? That cannot be a earthquake. Islands don't do that...

Gio (picks him up): W-We gotta run!

Slick: Whoa! What's wrong?!

Gio: You don't wanna know!

(Gio then saw the lighthouse, and he hopes that Lilo, Stitch and several cousins are in there for he could use some help as they don't like Gantu at all, considering that he couldn't remember the time of the party, but maybe they're setting up the tables at least...)

Gio (rushes up to door): HELLO?! (bangs on door)

(A voice yells out loud, revealing it as Lilo's) Drat, I am full with the plates here! Sparky, could you go check the door? It could be Gio!

Sparky's voice: IH! (The door opens, revealing Sparky) Cousin Gio! (Blinks) New cousin? Wait, 020?

Slick: (Waves with a smile) Pleasure to meet you again, old friend. And the name's Slick. Gio gave it to me.

Sparky: Wheesta going on? (Feels ground rumble) Wheesta that?

Gio: I think it's Gantu! (hands Slick to Lilo) Hide him!

Lilo: (Having joined Sparky from her moment of placing plates at a table) Gio! Okay, okay, but let us help you! Sparky can shock him!

Sparky: (Grins) Ih! (His antenna sparks up in delight for a moment)

Stitch: Weega help too! (Stitch and many other cousins including Frenchfry, Clip, and Fibber join in, standing behind like a army)

Lilo: (Smiles) You ain't alone, Gio. Ohana sticks together and help each other together! So, what's the plan? (Knowing that Gantu isn't too far off, due to the trembles under themselves)

Gio: Well, first, we need this...(pulls out a DVD of "Angles with Even Filtiher Souls" out of his book bag) Who's got a TV and speakers?!

Sample: (Using a mix of Lilo and Stitch's voices) Meega know movie by heart! Meega sure of wheesta scene you want.

Lilo: Oh, my gosh, that's right, Sample can say the scene word for word! (Ground trembles) Close the door!

Stitch: (Closes the door as Gio quickly gets in) Ih, hide!

Gio (hides behind table of snacks...)

(Outside, Gantu ran up to the lighthouse door...)

Gantu: OPEN UP AND HAND OVER THE TROG! OR I'LL...

Gangster voice: Hold it right there!

Cousins: (Snickers under their breath as they partly could peek through the windows of the lighthouse at Gantu's slight look of surprise)

Gantu: I know you're hiding the brat and that trog!

Stitch: (Gestures at Sample to keep going with the trick)

Gansgter voice: I knew it was you...I could smell ya getting off the elevator! You was here last night too, wasn't ya?

Gantu: Huh? Elevator? What the hell are you talking about? If it's you, brat, stop that!

Gangster voice: You was here...and you were smooching with my brother!

Gantu: WHAT?! You don't have a brother, brat! Or do you?...(Looks a little panicked at the thought of another Gio)

Gangster voice: Don't give me that! You've been smooching with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy legs, Keiks, Boney Bob, Cliff...I could go on forever, baby!

Gantu: (Widens his eyes; how the hell did the brat know about Keiks? That was just a experiment, a fling!) You're lying!

Gansgter: Alright, I believe you...but my Tommy gun don't!

Gantu: No, no! Don't shoot me with that monstrosity!

Gangster voice: Get down on your knees and tell me you love me!

Gantu: (Gulps nervously) You're bluffing!

Gangster voice (volume raised): GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND TELL ME YOU LOVE ME!

Gantu: (Instantly gets down to his knees under a second, clasping his hands as in prayer) I love you!

Cousins and humans: (Secretly smiling at each other, muffling their snickers behind their hands, enjoying this entertainment thoroughly; Gio grins to himself. Sample should have gone for the actor business. This is genius!)

Gangster voice: You gotta do better than that!

Gantu: (Clears his throat) I LOVE YOU!

(Some of the cousins close their eyes in muffled laughter, holding their sides when they heard Gantu.)

Gangster voice: Well, maybe I'm off my hinges, but I believe ya. That's why I'm gonna let you go! I'm gonna give you to the count of 3 to get your lousy, lying, low-down, low-flushing carcass off my floor! 1...2...(gunfire)

Gantu: AHHHHHHHH! (Grabs the chance to escape, running for his life, stomping and shaking the ground as his huge strides take him away and away from the lighthouse to his safe place)

Gio: WE DID IT!

Lilo: Alright! Sample, that was awesome! (Bouncing happily with a laugh into sight from her hiding spot from the table of the desserts)

Stitch: Ih! (High-fives Sample with a grin as the rest of the cousins join in, complimenting Sample and conversing about Gantu's reactions while a few familiar faces check on Gio)

Slick: That was simply brilliant, Gio!

Frenchfry: Oui, magnifique!

Clip: (Purrs happily as she nuzzles Gio warmly)

Gio: Awww...it was nothing, I...

Lilo: Thanks, Gio, for the idea! The cousins was expecting some entertainment, but they sure weren't expecting Gantu for one thing, but that was cool! (Looks at Slick) So, you're the new cousin, huh?

Slick: I sure am, young lady. Name's Slick.

Lilo: (Blinks in surprise) You named him, a experiment? What had changed your mind, Gio?

Gio: Huh? Changed my mind? What do you mean by that?

Lilo: You said you're not going to catch/rehab a experiment nor name it, and you clearly have proof here! What are you supposed to do, anyway?

Slick: Oh, I am a auctioneer and salesman of sorts. There was a incident, but I fixed it up, and now I am friends with Gio.

Gio: Yeah...I placed his pod into my swimsuit pocket, thinking it was a bouncy ball. And then I got in the water and...well...you know!

Stitch: (Winces lightly, understanding that clearly) Youga okay now?

Gio: Yes, I'm okay now! So...when is the party?

Lilo: Just five more minutes. We just need to set up the stage stuff for Sample and some of the cousins.

Sample: (Using a milder, deeper twin voice of Gio) It's the tunes and volume, man. It's not right to party without music!

Gio: Is everything else all set up? Snacks? Lights? Etc?

Stitch: Yes, yes, and yes!

Gio: Wait...I MUST bring a snack!

Lilo: Well, there's a bakery nearby. We have cupcakes, pies, donuts, and mini cakes set up on the dessert table, but there's no cookies!

Sparky: Ih! Meega visit bakery often. Favorite cookie there, looks like lightning bolts.

Lilo: 3 dozen would do it. 12 favorites of Sparky's, and you can pick the other two dozen cookies.

Gio: Yeah...sorry, but I got other plans in mind.

Stitch: Are youga sure youga could make it back? Setting up stage easy for weega cousins, only taking five minutes or less.

Slick: He's got a point there, Gio. What do you have in mind?

Gio: Well, I'm going to get a very massive cake that can be for everyone when cut.

Lilo: Whoa, that's a brilliant idea! The bakery does have cakes!

Gio: All the more reason why I'm going to get one!

Lilo: Then what are you waiting for? Go!

Stitch: Ih!

(The scene cuts to Gio walking to a large bakery called "Aloha Sweets". Upon walking in, Gio looked in awe...)

Gio: Woah!

Owner of Aloha Sweets: Aloha, welcome to my humble bakery! What can I do for you?

Gio: Well, first off, I would like to know your name so you can serve me better.

Owner: You can call me Petrie, dude. Before you ask, I was actually a Wyoming native, and yes, I am actually 19. My face may look older, but my voice betrays me all the time.

Gio: I'll have the biggest all-chocolate cake you got!

Petrie: Party guy, huh? You're in luck. A young kid changed his mind when I was in the middle of frosting the cake, and he wanted vanilla instead, and to make the long story short, his parents canceled the order on me!

Anyhow, it's a giant chocolate peppermint cheesecake, tiered up in five, and able to serve up to at least 40 people.

Gio: Uh...peppermint? Yuck, no way! I absolutely hate peppermint, and I will not be having anything with that so either you give me a different type of cake that's more what I like or I would just take my business elsewhere and you don't get my business for the day!

Petrie: (Laughs softly) I thought you'd say that. I don't know why that kid likes peppermint on chocolate. How about a double tiered Chocolate Oreo cake? This one serves up to 30 people.

Gio: I have more than 30 people at this party. Now I'm very close to simply walking out of this bakery, so either you find something with chocolate and can feed up to more than 40 people or I'm just going to walk out and you'll never see me again.

Petrie: (Wolf Whistle) More than 30 people, and you want spares if they go for double servings, eh? I've just got the thing. Be right back. (Heads to the back side of the bakery, calling out for his friend, and after a minute, appears with help at his side, carrying a large full-sheet all chocolate cake, placing it at the table) There!

A chocolate truffle cake, serves up to 100 people. Does that work for you?

Gio: Woah! Perfect! Just add 2 more layers, and I'll take it!

Petrie: (Widens eyes in shock) Are you sure of that? We only have quarter and half sheets baked and warm right now, there's no other full-sheet layers.

Gio: Then just place the best ones together on the other layers to make them full sheet size. As long as they're chocolate ones, I'll be fine!

Petrie: (Grins) Alright, I'm on it! (Gestures to his friend to pick up the cake again, and heads back to the kitchen, after a few minutes of waiting, they came back out once again, bringing the newly updated cake) Alright, three layers. Top one got three quarter sheets, second one got two half sheets, and of course, the bottom is the original cake. And all of them is chocolate! (Laughs triumphantly)

Gio: Great! That is good! How much?

Petrie: (Checks the computer-register, and nods) The total is $238 buckaroos!

Gio: (hands him the visa gift card)

Petrie: (Checks visa card, and smiles as he hands it back to Gio) You're all cleared! You better have some help with that. It's real heavy!

Gio: Yep. Can you provide me with cake transportation?

Petrie: If your party is close by, I can lend you a rolling cart.

Gio: Yes. Do you have a delivery truck?

Petrie: (Smiles) You're in luck. I could drive you and the cake to your party right now as my regular clients don't need me until mid-afternoon. Let's not be late, shall we?

Gio: You got it!
