Gift of Pillaloha

Lilo noticed that Nani was very quiet later that afternoon along with Gantu as they were thinking about what had happened when they had went to rescue Alana but whenever she asked, they wouldn't tell her but she heard laughter in the back yard as Reuben, Kaimi and Clyde were watching the younger experiment kids and got an idea as she went outside for a while seeing the mood wasn't so great.

Alana was in the back yard in the hammock sound asleep.

She was exhausted from what had happened but hoped Jumba and Lana would be okay but whimpered a little in sleep.

She then sat on the hammock beside the teen.

"Lilo...... what's wrong?" she said rubbing sleep from her eyes.

"I...... was wondering if you told me what happened when Jumba and the others went to rescue you." she answered as Alana sighed.

Alana understood but it would help her with the feelings inside her from what happened.

"Okay I'll tell you.

Maybe it'll make me feel better." the experiment teen replied as she began to tell her story.....

Nani was surprised to see Lana enter the kitchen.

She'd been sleeping since they'd left Naru's sleep but knew Alana would be happy seeing her best friend was awake but knew that she would be worrying about Jumba but knew he'd be okay if Lana had managed to wake up.

But there was doubt in the female experiment's eyes as she drank a can of soda but hid her feelings as she went into the back yard where Lexi and Lori were playing rodeo with Lori and Rian but Brianna was asleep having an nap.

But Lilo saw Alana stop in the middle of the story seeing Lana and jumped off the hammock and hugged her.

"Hey Alana!

It's good to see you too.

I was so scared about you back...... in Naru's ship but I'm glad you're okay." Lana told her as they joined Lilo so Alana could finish her story but after finishing it, she heard Jumba crying in her mind's ear.

"Alana what's wrong?" Lilo asked her.

"Uncle Jumba...... he's sad alone in the dream world.

I have to go cheer him up." Alana told her about to use her power to go to the dream plane where Jumba was right now but Lilo and Lana were curious about this.

"It's something I can do since I became an experiment but Jumba was there once when we were in Naru's ship but I helped him get back.

I know I can do it again." she answered as her eyes glowed with purple light as she mentally transported herself to the dream plane.......

Jumba was in the dream plane but in his dream world but he was scared finding himself on his home planet but the other Quanta Quaglians still hated him and thought he was an idiot but he began to cry loudly hearing them mock him and throw stones and hurt him emotionally.

"Jumba don't cry....." he heard a voice say as Alana appeared.

She looked like a dark purple furred angel right now.

She then hugged him as he sank to his knees crying.

"Ssh Uncle it'll be alright, I promise." she said to him.

Those mean voices were still talking but Alana ignored them.

"How does Alana know it'll be alright?

Maybe this is Jumba's punishment for all the bad he's done." Jumba answered sadly.

"That's not true Uncle!

You may have dome wrong but you've made up for it and changed for the better.

I don't want to see you sad or here.

You need to come home to those who love you." she replied holding out her hand.

"Take my hand Uncle." she told him.

Jumba then took her hand but in doing so vanished.

A smile crossed her face as she left the dream plane.......

Lilo and Lana were relieved as Alana's eyes opened as she returned from the dream plane.

"Where did you go....... when you went to the dream plane?" Lana asked along with Lilo.

"I'd rather not talk about it.

I need to go somewhere, okay?" she answered running off to the Big Red Battleship.

She entered hearing soft moaning as she saw Jumba stir a little as she climbed onto the fold down bed but smiled softly as his eyes opened slowly.

"Alana..... thank you." he whispered softly as his body was still in pain.

"You're welcome but for what?" she asked him.

"For everything especially bringing back from that awful dream plane.

You've..... been like a guardian angel to me Alana.

You've always watched over me and made sure I wouldn't get hurt or into galaxy wide trouble.

What's wrong child?" Jumba said seeing tears fall from her eyes.

"I-I don't feel like it right now but I'm the reason you're hurt.

If...... you hadn't tried to save me, you wouldn't have gotten hurt.

I'm nothing but a failure.

I'm going to end up hurting the galaxy!" she said crying as Jumba stroked her dark purple fur.

"Not true Alana you will not hurt galaxy.

You are very caring, loving and wise and these things will help galaxy like Lilo.

You're not a failure, you're best thing that happened to Jumba since Lilo.

Never forget that." Jumba told her as she fell asleep on the bed.

He smiled at that falling asleep and into sweet dreams......
