Chapter 5-Main Title (He Mele No Lilo)

Some beautiful fish of every color, yellow, blue, red, white, all sat peacefully in the water on the beach of Kauai. They moved their fins and tails slowly and gracefully, but stayed in one spot.

The scene changes to a hardwood floor with older women's feet stepping forward. They had leis on their ankles, and we can see the bottom of the grass skirts they wore. It was obviously a hula class. All the women moved as one; it was very beautiful, and they obviously had been practicing.

The scene changes back to the fish, but this time, a bright orange fish swam by, holding a sandwich in its mouth. Suddenly, all the fish get scared and swim away, revealing a young girl swimming behind them. She was wearing a purple, one-piece bathing suit.

Lilo & Stitch (or Sam & Danny, depending on what you want to call it)

The girl swam like a fish; it seemed she could hold her breath forever. She swam quickly, and the fish recognized her and swam with her.

Back in the hula class, the dancers were moving quicker, moving their arms now.

The young girl who was swimming finally surfaced after a couple dolphins. This girl was definitely in sinc with the natural world.

The girl glanced around before diving under the water again.

Now the hula dancers were moving much quicker, and even clapped as their arms switched places.

The swimming girl was under a wave! She could see the beach, but barely; it was blurred by the water. As the wave carried her up, she poked her head out and looked at it. It was the perfect wave, and it would carry her all the way to shore. She took a deep breath as the wave covered her from view.

The hula dancers were spinning, moving their feet, and moving their arms. The musicians were playing some gourd-looking drums.

The girl's wave HAD carried her to shore, and she scrambled to get out of the water. She ran across the beach, stumbling a few times, grabbed a green bag from behind a rock, and continued to run.

Just then, she saw a very fat man with a very obvious tanline. It looked like he was wearing a white tanktop, but wasn't wearing a shirt at all.

The girl collected pictures of funny, fat people, and he was perfect. She stopped her rush, and pulled out a camera from her bag. She looked at him through it. She took a step back, and the flash went off just as his Mint 'n Chip ice cream fell.

The girl kept running.

Based on an idea by Chris Sanders

We finally see where the girl is running to—the hula class.

Inside, the older dancers were still doing their moves, and just as gracefully as ever.

The girl was running as fast as she could, trying to tie her hula skirt on at the same time.

The dancers were the opposite of the girl; just as calm as they could be. We also finally see their teacher—Mr. Lancer. He walked from one side of where the girls were dancing to the other side. He then motions to some younger girls, named Valerie, Star, and Paulina. He also motions to a boy, named Dash. All the younger dancers were about the same age as the swimming girl. Mr. Lancer said in Hawaiian, "Takuma heine. Maia louka hula," (Which probably meant, "Come out. It's time to do your hula,"). As the three girls and Dash slowly came out, Mr. Lancer counted them aloud. "One, two, three, four—aye aye aye," he said, holding his forehead. There was a gap; someone was missing.

The girl outside was still running to the hula class, and was trying to put on her ankle leis.

Inside, there was a row of older girls doing advanced hula moves, and a row of younger girls and Dash in front, doing less advanced moves, but moving just as beautifully. However, there WAS a gap, right in the middle. Then, the older and younger dancers danced together, moving as one.

The girl outside burst in the back door of the hula school, still running, and dripping wet.

All the dancers kept dancing, not knowing that the girl from outside was right behind them, hiding behind the olders' hula skirts. When Mr. Lancer wasn't looking, she slipped into her spot in front, and immediately got into the dance, smiling as no one noticed her late entrance.

Then their dance ended, and they all chanted, "He inoa no kalani kalakaua kulele."

Unfortunately, after the chant, Dash slipped and fell on the water that dripped off the girl; she didn't have time to properly dry off.

All the older dancers stepped back as the Valerie, Star, and Paulina yelled out as they slipped and fell as well.

"Stop, stop," Mr. Lancer said. "Sam, why are you all wet?" He asked the swimming girl, exasperated.

"It's sandwich day," said Sam, expecting Mr. Lancer to know what that meant. He just flinched with a confused expression. Sam sighed. "Every Thursday, I take Pudge The Fish a peanut butter sandwich,"

"Pudge is a fish?" Mr. Lancer asked, kneeling next to Sam, seeing her face to face.

Sam just ignored him. "And today we were out of peanut butter! So I asked my sister what to give him, and she said a TUNA sandwich. I can't give Pudge tuna!" Then Sam whispered, "Do you know what tuna is?"

"Fish?" Asked Mr. Lancer, not really knowing how to answer.

"IT'S FISH!" Sam screamed. "IF I GAVE PUDGE TUNA, I'D BE AN ABOMINATION! I'm late because I had to go to the store and get peanut butter, because all we have is... is STINKIN' TUNA!" Sam yelled, jumping up and down, her head lei falling down slightly.

"Sam, Sam, why is this so important?" Mr. Lancer asked a panting, angry Sam.

"Pudge controls the weather," Sam said simply. Mr. Lancer flinched back again, the musicians looked at each other, and two of the older dancers exchanged glances. They all agreed—Sam was crazy. But only one person actually said it. Dash.

"You're crazy," he said disgustedly. Sam lost it. She pounced on him, punching and grabbing, and she even bit him. Dash screamed, high, like a girl, and then the three younger dancers screamed too. Mr. Lancer grabbed Sam off Dash.

"Please, please! Everybody, calm down!" Mr. Lancer called over the girls, who scrambled behind Mr. Lancer, trying to protect themselves. "Girls, A'ole wala au, shh" (Which probably meant, "Girls, no talking."). "Sam," Mr. Lancer said, turning to her.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" Sam said, putting her hands behind her back and stepping backward.

"Maybe you should call your sister," Mr. Lancer suggested calmly.

"NO! I'll be good! I wanna dance; I practiced. I just wanna dance. I practiced," Sam said, lowering her head. Mr. Lancer knelt next to her again. He was considering what to do. Just then, Dash said to Valerie, Star, and Paulina,

"Ew, she bit me," and girls said ew also, in unison. Star even pushed Dash's arm away. Mr. Lancer rolled his eyes.

Class was finally over! All the girls and Dash ran out, cheering their freedom. Sam sat on the steps leading to the hula school and watched them leave. Mr. Lancer came out after the girls had left and knelt by Sam again. "I called your sister. She said to wait for her here on the porch. We'll try again on Sunday," he said before standing up and going back inside. Sam stood and watched to other girls and Dash leave.

"Does this look infected to you?" Dash asked, showing the other girls Sam's bite mark.

"Yeah," Valerie answered. Then they all gasped and jumped back as they heard footsteps behind them. It was Sam. She smiled nicely.

"You'd better not have rabies," Dash said menacingly.

Paulina decided to show off. "If you have rabies, the dog catcher's gonna have to cut your—"

She was interrupted by Sam, who wanted to change the subject. "Are you gonna play dolls?" She asked, noticing that all of them, even Dash, had a doll that looked like them. They all held their dolls behind their backs.

"You don't have a doll," Dash said pointedly.

Sam reached in her bag and pulled out a green ragdoll. It had yellow string that stood up for hair, a pink bow in its hair, stitches over a slit that could pass as a mouth, and buttons for eyes and a bellybutton. It looked horrible. "This is Scrum," Sam said happily, knowing she could play since she had a doll.

All the girls and Dash jumped back in disgust.

"I made her," Sam said, pretending like she didn't see their revulsion. "But her head is too big. So I pretend a bug laid eggs in her ears, and she's upset because she only has a few more days to..." Sam trailed off when she noticed that the other girls had left.

Sam got angry and threw down Scrum, and then stomped away. A few seconds later, however, Sam's anger left her, and she ran back and scooped up Scrum in her arms. She cuddled it close. Then Sam made her way home.
