Chapter Challenges: At the end of every chapter will be either a question or artwork challenge. This is optional of course. But just to make the fiction even more fun. PM or EMAIL the answers. Do not include them in the review.
Chapter One
He Mele No Lilo
Harry slept much of the way there, except when he had to change planes in Miami, Florida. Finally, about thirty hours later (please tell me if this is wrong, I can't find how long it would take) his plane landed in the Kauai Island Lihue Airport. He grabbed his baggage from the claim and went out to get a taxi to his hotel.
A short hour later
"What do you mean you gave my room to someone else!" Harry asked, "I booked that room two weeks ago."
The Hotel Manager looked contrite, "I'm sorry sir, I'm afraid we accidentally double-booked your suite and the other party arrive a few hours ahead of you, and we are completely full or I would offer you another room. I am sorry sir."
The young boy sighed, "No, it's alright. I should have expected it, with my luck the entire island will be booked through next Christmas. I'll just try and find somewhere else." He absently played with his lei as he left the hotel to try and find another place.
However, his prediction proved true. No hotel had any rooms open for him. After checking at every inn he could, Harry eventually just had to accept it. Frustrated, Harry sat down at a bench looking out over the beautiful clear blue ocean. "I guess my vacation's over already, before it even really began." He breathed out a forlorn sigh. And he had so wanted to finally have such a vacation. He was sure that was what Sirius would want him to do. To enjoy himself, and stop beholding himself to the wizarding world and it's impossible standards. He didn't want to go back so soon. But what choice did he have?
Just as he was about to get up and find a taxi back to the airport, a stream of water hit the back of his head. He stood and whirled around. Harry saw a little girl and a strange blue creature hiding something behind his back, guiltily.
"Stitch!" the little girl cried indignantly, "Well, your badness level just went up,"
The blue creature, Stitch, looked properly ashamed, "Sorry…" Harry's eyebrows raised, it talked.
"Hey, it's alright, I'm sure it was just an accident." Harry told the girl.
The little girl smiled, glad that they weren't in trouble. "Sorry about that, he's my dog."
"Your dog, and he talks?" Harry asked incredulously.
She nodded, "Yep, he's very smart. His name is Stitch, and I'm Lilo."
"Name's Harry," he extended his hand. "I'm visiting the island for awhile, or well, I was, but it looks like I have to head back home already."
Lilo shook his hand, "Aloha Harry, but why do you have to go home so soon?"
"There are no hotels with room. And I can't sleep on the beach." he explained.
Lilo nodded in understanding, "Yeah, our island has been very busy. There's a big surfing contest coming up and everyone wants to see it." She seemed to think for a minute, "Hey, I have an idea. Why don't you stay with Stitch and me?" She seemed quite proud of her idea. What a great way to demonstrate the Spirit of Aloha that her sister was always going on about.
Harry shook his head, "No, I couldn't impose, but thanks for the offer."
But Lilo didn't listen to his protest, instead she just grabbed one hand while Stitch grabbed the other. Together they pulled him along the way to their home. Harry didn't protest any further, he didn't seem to have any say in this.
