Gift of Pillaloha
Jumba was working in his lab on something to help Alana as the Grand Council Wonan on Turo since she was now an experiment and couldn't become human again but he wanted to help her since she was his favourite niece.
He had finished on a special bracelet that would allow her to appear human in front of the other aliens in the Council.
She smiled as she saw the bracelet with a blue heart on it.
"I love it!
Thanks Uncle Jumba." she said as she hugged him.
Pleakley saw hi blush at that.
"You're welcome Alana.
You'll be a great Grand Council Woman and take care of all the planets including Earth which is our home." he replied to her.
"Mahalo Uncle Jumba.
I promise to look after our planet too." she answered as it was nearly time for dinner but it was a special one since it was Alana's last night on Earth.
Lilo was helping Nani in the kitchen making dinner.
She noticed her sister was quiet but understood since it was Alana's last night on Earth and with them but the ohana had gifts for the young Grand Council Woman so she would always remember them even though she would be on Turo but she would always remember them.
"You're going to miss Alana right?
We all will.
But she will help the galaxy as the Grand Council Woman.
You remember what you told me?
Aloha means hello but it also means goodbye and the aloha you give always come back to you." Lilo told her.
Nani thought as she smiled at Lilo's words.
"Yes you're right.
Maybe Alana will visit sometime." she answered as they heard laughter as Alana was playing with Lexi, Lori and Rian and having fun.
Stitch was taking photos using Lilo's camera.
Nani smiled at that idea.
She saw Jumba wiping away a few tears.
She knew he'd miss her the most when she left the next morning......
But she wouldn't think about it.
The mood in the house was quiet and calm as the family sat around the dinner table.
But Alana noticed Jumba was sad but understood because she was his favourite uncle besides Stitch as he was trying not to cry but Pleakley was crying as Jumba patted his back to reassure him.
To Nani and the others, both Jumba and Pleakley were more friendly than before but understood but didn't say anything.
"Are you excited about being Grand Council Woman?" Lexi asked Alana as they ate.
"Yes I am but also nervous because it's an important job but I won't be alone.
I'll be in training once I get to Turo." she answered as they understood but Nani and David looked worried but more so scared but understood that this was Alana's choice and something she wanted to do.
"I hope she's okay out there on Turo." Nani thought as she drank juice.
David was trying to keep the mood happy but it was hard.
He hoped that Alana's leaving wouldn't affect the family.
But he saw her smile as most of the family were giving her presents.
"Mahalo guys.
You're awesome." Alana said as she was in experiment form right now.
Nani was waiting until later to give Alana her and her father's gift.
But Lana was very quiet but they understood.
Later that night Alana couldn't sleep because she had many things on her mind especially missing her family but Lana saw her friend was still awake.
"Why're aren't you asleep?" the female experiment told her.
"I need you to do something for me." she said to her.
"What?" Lana asked her.
"I need you to stay here and look after y parents especially my mother since they're going to miss me with Jumba.
Do you promise?" she asked her.
Lana looked sad but couldn't let her friend down.
"I-I promise Alana." the female experiment told her as they hugged.
Lana watched as her friend fell asleep but knew dawn was a few hours away.
The Grand Council Woman sighed as morning came as she arrived at the Pelekai house but the family were up having breakfast with Alana before she left for Turo and her destiny as the next Grand Council Woman but Nani was very quiet along with Jumba but David had gone to the beach already but the Grand Council Woman understood their concern.
"Don't worry, I will make sure she is safe.
I promise." she said as Alana left the house and followed the Grand Council Woman into her ship but looked at her family as it took off.
"I will never forget you." she thought as the ship vanished after hyperdrive.
