Gift of Pillaloha

Clyde's eyes opened as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he got up slowly and walked into the kitchen to get something to eat. He saw a plate of food and a can of soda on the table and sat down.

He gritted his teeth in pain as his body hurt from some of his wounds.

"You're awake.

Lexi will be happy when he comes home later from the park.

He and some of the other experiment kids are going there after school.

But you look hurt.

How did it happen?" she said as he looked a little sad.

"I got hurt searching for..... my one true place.

I never got one because I used to steal things but that was to make Bonnie happy." he answered but Lilo looked confused at that.

"Why did you say that Clyde?

I don't understand." she said to him.

"Bonnie was my partner but only friend even back in the lab because the other experiments picked on me for having no powers besides my robotic arm so Bonnie made me feel not so lonely but we became free agents and started stealing things which made Bonnie and Jumba proud but not me.

I wanted no part in it." he explained as she understood.

"Yeah I can understand Clyde.

At the moment, Lexi's feeling like you, a little lonely." she told him.

Clyde was surprised to hear that his son was going through the same thing he had.

"Really?" he asked her.

"Yes.

The other older experiment kids tease him especially Sukai because he has no powers besides his robotic arm, super strength and being indestructible.

I told him you were the same but he's having a little confidence shred." she told him.

Clyde nodded as they just kept talking but Jumba smiled seeing them.

He felt a little worried for Clyde too but was trying not to show it.....

Pele smiled as she appeared in the forest in Kauai.

"I finally made it here.

I wonder if Mom and Dad remember me." she murmured.

"Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." a voice inside told her.

A smile formed on her face as she hid her extra arms, spines and antennae as she walked to the Pelekai house but was nervous as she hadn't seen her family in a long while but hoped they would remember her.

She felt betrayed by Naru because for the last thirteen years, he'd been lying to her.

"I hope you're still okay." she murmured approaching the house and climbing the steps to the front door but went through the dog door.

She smiled feeling that warm feeling again as a few memories returned to her as she heard somebody gasp.

It was Leroy.

"Pele is that really you?" he asked her nervous.

"Ih Dad it's me." she answered as her extra arms revealed themselves showing her birth bracelet as tears of joy were in his eyes.

"I knew it.

I knew you'd come home some day.

Your mother will be so happy." Leroy told her as she smiled.

"That's good to know since I haven't felt so good in a long time." she answered him as they went into the kitchen......

Lexi wondered where Lilo and the others were as he, Uncle Kaimi along with Kia, Aoi and Brianna came home tired out.

He then heard soft chuckling and gasped remembering it from when he was a baby.

"Daddy?" he called out as he walked through the house but gasped finding Clyde in the kitchen as he hugged him.

"Hey little guy.

I missed you!

You've grown so much since last time." he told Lexi as he giggled as the others were in awe at the moment.

"Where's Lilo?" Kaimi asked him.

"She went to get dinner but Jumba's helping Leroy with something big because he wouldn't let anybody else in besides Leroy and Moopey." he answered as Lexi was still in his lap.

It made him calm but the experiment saw Lexi look worried at his wounds.

"How did you get hurt like this?

Wa it bad guys?" he asked innocently.

Clyde understood that they hadn't told Lexi everything but he was glad of that.

Only he wondered what Bonnie was doing now but shook those thoughts out of his head as he started playing with his son and really enjoying it.

Lilo was surprised to see Pele back along with Moopey as they hugged the experiment teen but she was a little shy around Lilo but Leroy and Moopey understood since the last time she'd been here, she was just a baby.

But right now they seemed more like a family now than ever but Naru had found out and was furious.

He would make them pay once he took over the galaxy......
