It was early in the morning, a morning that Nani was not to fond with and wished that she would somehow be allowed to keep raising her sister without having Cobra Bubbles threatening to take her away.
"Nani? Are you alright?" Lilo's voice asked from the kitchen doorway.
The older girl quickly wiped her tears and said, "I didn't hear you get up"
"Nani, hey I might have you a job," David said poking his head in the door.
Nani's face lit up as she rushed towards Lilo saying, "I'll be back in a few minutes, lock the doors"
Lilo watched as her sister and her friend left the house for Nani's possible job.
A few hours later, Nani was coming out of the store slightly annoyed that she had left Lilo home for so long.
Suddenly she heard the sound of firetrucks and whispered, "Please don't turn left" unfortunately they did turn left.
Nani started to run hoping that Lilo was okay.
When she got to the house, the firemen were putting out the fire. Only thinking about Lilo, Nani was about to rush towards the burning house until a fireman stopped her.
"Ma'am, it's too dangerous," the fireman said.
"My sister -" Nani started to say before she got cut off.
"Right over there," the fireman said pointing to Lilo and Mr. Bubbles who was putting Lilo in his car.
"Oh, Lilo! Please don't do this" Nani said rushing to them.
"You know I have no choice," Mr. Bubbles said.
"No! You're not taking her! I'm the only one who understands her! You take that away, she won't stand a chance!" Nani yelled.
"You're making this harder than it needs to be," Mr. Bubbles said calmly.
"But you don't know what you're doing! She needs me!" Nani yelled in frustration.
"Is this what she needs?! It seems clear to me that you need her a lot more than she needs you" Mr. Bubbles said gesturing towards the house.
"I'm the only family she has left," Nani said, "You can't split us up"
"I'm doing this for your sister's well being," Mr. Bubbles said as he got into his car and drove away.
Nani watched Cobra's car drive away until it was out of sight before dropping to her knees crying.
In Cobra Bubbles' car
They drove in silence for awhile until they pulled into a driveway.
"Wow," Lilo whispered as she saw the house.
Cobra let Lilo out and led her up to the door before he knocked.
A few seconds later the door opened revealing a mean looking an older woman with gray hair.
"Is this the latest child?" The woman asked peering down at her.
"Yes, this is Lilo. She'll be staying here until the court hearing and then she'll be placed with a foster family depending on the courts ruling" Cobra informed while Lilo looked at him with a confused expression.
"Very well, come inside child," the woman said.
Lilo looked back at Cobra who nodded and Lilo walked into the house slightly afraid.
"Cinderella!" The older woman yelled once the door was closed.
A younger looking woman with blonde hair came rushing in saying, "Yes stepmother"
"We have a new child, take her up to the room" the older woman ordered as she walked away.
Cinderella smiled at the young girl before holding out her hand saying, "Come with me"
Lilo took her hand and let Cinderella guide her upstairs.
"This will be where you'll sleep," Cinderella said as she opened up a bedroom door revealing other girls.
"Oh wow! A new girl!" a girl who had long raven-black hair and wore a mint green hoodie, with a brown double-layered skirt, green, white, and purple leggings, and small black boots yelled cheerfully.
Lilo hid behind the woman as she spoke, "Girls this is Lilo. She'll be staying here for a while"
"Hiya! I'm Vanellope" the girl who spoke earlier said.
Lilo came out from behind Cinderella, "Hi"
"I want you all to be nice to her. I have some more chores to do, but I will be back in a bit" Cinderella said as she left the room.
Another girl who had chin-length dirty blonde hair and blue eyes walked over to them saying, "I'm Jane and that's Shanti, Penny F, Melody, Penny, and Alice" Jane said gesturing towards the other girls.
"Are you an orphan too" the blonde haired girl named Alice asked.
"Alice! You can't just ask that!" An Indian girl named Shanti hissed.
"I'm not an orphan, I have an older sister named Nani," Lilo said.
"Then why are you here?" Penny a girl with short auburn hair and brown eyes asked.
"A social worker took me, I overheard him telling Nani that it was for the best," Lilo said upset.
Meanwhile at the Pelekai's Nani is distraught.
