Gali rushed up to a house in a part of the island where she lives. The girl has lived in this house along with her sister ever since the 'incident' with their parents. Gali has done her best to look after Hahli but the problems with her sister have made is difficult to raise the girl, also there's the fact that a social worker, who is assigned to them to see if Gali can raise Hahli without problems, is coming today doesn't really help. Gali made it up the stairs to the porch and tried to open the door but it would not move. Gali groans as she can hear the song, The Heartbreak Hotel, playing inside the house.
"Hahli, open this door!" Gali called in concern, she really doesn't have time for this.
"Go away" Hahli's voice from inside the house groaned. It seems the little one doesn't want anything to with Gali at the moment.
Seeing the minicon door, which is odd cause the family doesn't have a minicon or Medabot, Gali opens it and puts her head through it to see her sister lying on the living room floor, looking up at the ceiling and listing to the Elvis record playing on the record player nearby. It seems the girl does not care if she does or does not get taken away if the meeting with the social worker does not go well.
"Hahli, we don't have time for this" exclaimed Gali in annoyance who couldn't get through the Minicon door due to it's small size.
"Leave me alone to die" Hahli said in a moody tone while looking at Gali. After what happened the matoran girl just wants to die.
"Come on Hahli, the social worker will be here at any minute."
To Gali's annoyance, Hahli just looks up at the ceiling ignoring her sisters pleads. She even turns the volume up on the record player without looking at it. Gali could not believe this, why is her little sister being moody at the worst time possible. Gali looks to see the lock and reaches up until she was able to flip the lock, however before she could go and try to open the door she noticed a lot of nails, nailed into the door frame. This got Gali more frustrated. Hahli was still not wanting to let her in. The older sister looks round for something and finds a hammer nearby, she then picks it up.
However unknown to Gali however, a blue car, the very same blue car that Gali kicked a while ago, pulled up towards the house. The big girl didn't notice as she tries to pull the nails out of the door frame. She only successfully got one out. Gali looks angrily at Hahli who doesn't notice what's going on.
"Oooh, when I get in there, you are so done for!" yelled Gali furiously at Hahli, who still doesn't pay any attention to her. The latter mouths the lyrics to the song.
The driver of the same car got out and made his way up the steps. He was a white robot with a red cyborg like eye and the other eye blue covered by black sunglasses he is wearing, he had silver armor on his chest, he had a white mask, he was a toa of ice
"I'm going to put you in the blender, push puree, then put what remains into a pie and bake it for the social worker!" Gali yelled still noticing the toa behind her waiting impatiently. "and when he likes it and asks what the secret ingredient is, I'm going to say..."
However the toa then clears his throught, this makes Gali yelp and moves out the Minicon door and stands up to see the toa. "It's love and nurturing" said Gali innocently and nervously and drops the hammer behind her. "Err...That wasn't what you thought it was...so...you must be the...err...
"The stupid head" The toa said with a frown
"Huh?"
"You're the person who kicked the front of my car before, right?"
Gali yelps as she looks to see the car the man was pointing to, it was the same one she kicked the front bumper off earlier. Gali has insulted the social worker she and Hahli had to get ready for without realizing at the time. It also isn't good that there was a dent in the bumper.
"Oh...I'm really sorry about that, if I knew who you were I would have never have done that." Gali said nervously to the social worker. "Just send me the repair bill and I'll pay for it"
"Can't do that, seeing as the car is a rental" said the social worker rolling his eyes "I take it you're the guardian in question."
"Yes, I am. My name is Gali Nuva. It's nice to meet you, Mr. err..."
"Kopaka" The toa said
"Mr. Kopaka" Gali said with a nod. "No offense, but that seems like a weird name with just the one letter, don't you..."
"Yes I know. Are you going to invite me in Gali?" said Kopaka interrupting Gali and wanting to get to the business at hand, so far it was not going so well.
"Well, how about we just sit out here and talk."
"I don't think so."
Gali groaned nervously. She knows that she will be in big trouble once Mr. Kopaka finds out what's going on and he was getting closer to the truth. "Right, follow me" Gali said and leads Mr. Kopaka to the side of the house. She hopes the door was locked. By the time they got there Gali had tried the doorknob...to her annoyance she found the door was locked. It looks like Hahli has taken every precaution to keep her sister from getting in. Turning to Mr. Kopaka she said "Err...can you wait here for a minute?"
Mr. Kopaka waited as Gali made her way to the back of the house. He waited while hearing the sound of a window breaking, a record scratching before being turned off.
"Hey!" exclaimed the annoyed voice of Hahli. Soon the door Mr. Kopaka was standing by opened as Gali is standing there panting. Apparently she must have worked hard to get into the house.
"So...want some lemonade?" asked Gali nervously.
"Do you often leave your sister home alone and unsupervised?" Mr. Kopaka asked as he goes into the house with a frown.
"No, I always have one of my friends watch her when I go out. Uh..." Gali said and yelps when she sees a drawing on the fridge. it was a picture of Hahli looking bored while leaning on a wall and it had the words 'Me Alone' on it. The girl must have drawn it. Gali runs to the fridge and covers the picture and removes it from the fridge while saying "Except for just today. See I had to go to the store as we were out of..."
Gali looks to her right and yelps. The kitchen looked like a tornado had blown through. This was not looking good. Seeing the stove on she rushes over to it and turns it off.
"and I take it you left the stove on while you were out?" Mr. J asked. He was obviously not buying Gali trying to convince him everything was okay and nothing bad has gone wrong.
Gali covered the pot nearby with a pot cover as she said "Low heat, to just let it simmer" The Toa girl took a whiff and said "It's coming along great, it will..." Of course when she removes the cover, smoke comes out causing her to yelp and quickly put the lid back on.
"I found it like that this morning" said a familiar voice. Gali looks startled as she turns to see Hahli nearby looking at the scene.
"Oh Hahli! Little sis, This is Mr. Kopaka the social worker. Be nice and treat him with respect."
Mr. Kopaka goes over to Hahli and holds his hand out for the girl to shake, he then said "It's nice to meet you Hahli."
Hahli notices something hanging on His chest. It was a name badge and on it, it said 'Kopaka Nuva'.
"You name tag says Kopaka Nuva" Hahli said pointing to the badge. Kopaka kneels down to the girl's level as she continues "Kopaka Nuva? You look more like a government official for a secret organization then a social worker."
"That's cause I'm a special classification and I prefer we leave it at that" Toa Kopaka said not wanting to discuss anything about his appearance right now.
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
"Hahli!" Gali exclaimed. She doesn't want her sister to annoy the social worker at this moment.
"I was only asking" said Hahli in innocence
"I think we're getting off track. Hahli, let's talk about you. Are you happy?" Kopaka Nuva asked getting to the business at hand.
Hahli paused and then gave a big and wide smile. The matoran girl looks at Kopaka and stops smiling and says "I've adjusted. I eat four basic food groups and I always look both ways before crossing the street and I also take long naps."
Unknown to Toa Kopaka through, the reason that Hahli is saying this stuff is because Gali is making hand signals behind the social worker, telling her sister what to say. It looks like the hand signals were working. Gali did the hand signal for victory...this proved to be a bad move.
"and I also get disciplined." Hahli added misunderstanding what Gali just did. The Toa girl also saw what she has done and yelps in concern.
"Disciplined?" asked Kopaka as he arches his eyebrows in amusement.
"Yeah she disciplines me really good" Hahli said
Gali, worried that Hahli is going to ruin it, she made a signal for Hahli to stop while quietly saying "No, no, no, stop, please stop!"
But unfortunately, Hahli once again misunderstood Gali's hand signals and thought she wanted her to continue "Sometimes 5 times a day"
"No!" Gali said and covers her face with her hands. This was not going to end well.
"With bricks"
Gali gasped in alarm. This was it now. The social worker was not going to like that.
"Bricks?" Kopaka asked with a frown.
"Yeah and in a pillowcase" said Hahli with a nod.
"Okay, Hahli I believe that is enough sugar for you" Gali said quickly and covers Hahli mouth to stop her saying anything else to make this meeting worse. She then pats Hahli on the head and said "Now why not and go play." She made Hahli leave the room. Once the little girl was gone, Gali turns to Kopaka Nuva and said with a nervous smile "All the other social workers thought she was a scream, So thirsty?" She goes to the fridge and opens it.
"Miss Gali, I'm going to be honest and illuminate the situation you find yourself in." Kopaka Nuva said going to her and then closes the fridge before removing his glasses showing his stern eyes which one eye is a cyborg while the other is a normal blue eye for the first time. "I am the one they call, when things go wrong and by the look of thing here, Everything has indeed gone wrong."
Kopaka now goes into the living room and sees Hahli holding a pickle jar and has four spoons each made to look like Angelica, Daphne, Amy and Kammy. The social worker sees a book that is titled 'Practical Voodoo: The guide to revenge', apparently the girl must be more depressed then she looks.
Hahli takes the four spoons and places them in the pickle jar, she screws the lid on tight and then shakes the jar hard making Kopaka watch in wonder. The girl looks at him and said darkly "My friends need to be punished."
Kopaka Nuva looked at Gali who is groaning while watching this. The social worker pulls out a card and gives it to Hahli while saying "My number is on this card. Should you in the event be left here alone again give me a call."
"Sure, no problem."
Kopaka Nuva then puts his glasses back on goes to the door, he then turns to Gali and said "Oh and so you know, this did not go well. I think you are not good enough to raise Hahli by yourself in this current condition." The social worker opens the door causing all the nails that Gali tried to pull out, to come out quickly "I'm giving you just three days to change my mind"
Kopaka left the house and closes the door behind him. Gali couldn't believe it, in three days Hahli will be out of her life. The Toa girl angrily looks at her little sister as if she wanted to punish her severely.
Hahli screams and runs off with Gali chasing her. In the kitchen, the big sister manages to grab hold of the little sister by the arm. However Hahli licks Gali's arm causing the latter to be alarmed and disgusted.
"Gross!" Gali said as she was forced to to let Hahli go who ran off one more time "Hahli! Get back here!"
Gali tries to chase Hahli again, but by the time she makes it to the living room she lost her and can't see her anywhere. Where could Hahli be? Soon Gali hears the sound of the dryer door closing which tells Gali that Hahli must be in the dryer.
Having an idea Gali goes to the laundry room, lays a blanket by the dryer and then quietly gets onto top of the dryer. She then proclaims loudly for Hahli to hear "Well it seems Hahli must have escaped outside, I better check out there!"
She then opens the back door and closes it loudly to give Hahli the idea that the former went outside looking for the latter. Sure enough it works and Hahli opens the dryer and gets out without knowing about the blanket she was stepping on. Gali quickly gets behind Hahli and wraps the blanket around the matoran girl, trapping her inside. Now that Hahli was trapped, the angry older sister carries the struggling girl into the living room before setting it down and unfolds it. Hahli hisses at her sister for the dirty trick and attempts to run but Gali grabs hold of her wrist, Hahli keeps facing away from the wrath that Gali is about to unleash.
"Hahli, why didn't wait at the school like Sensei Wu told you to do? You were supposed to wait there!" Gali yelled at Hahli angrily, the latter desperately trying to get out of the former's grip. "Do you not understand what is going on right now? Do you want to be taken away from me by Agent J?" Hahli tears up a bit from hearing this "Hahli, answer me!"
"No!" yelled Hahli struggling in Gali's grip
"No you don't understand?"
"No!"
"No what?" yelled Gali annoyed. Why couldn't Hahli give a straight answer?
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" whined Hahli, she soon fell down out of Gali's grip and onto the floor, whining in muffled sadness.
"Gah! You can be such a pain sometimes!"
Hahli stands up, looks at her sister and snaps "If I'm sure a pain, why don't you sell me and buy a rabbit instead?"
Angrily Hahli made her way to the steps that lead to her room, Gali became more angry because of this.
"At least the rabbit will behave a lot better then you will!" yelled Gali as she watch her younger sister walk to the stairs and begin to go up them to her room.
When she was halfway up the stairs she turns to Gali and yells back "Well go ahead, then you'll be happy because the rabbit will be a lot smarter then me too!" She then goes back to climbing up the stairs.
Gali goes to the bottom of the stairs and yells "and quieter!"
Hahli then reaches the top of the stairs, she turns to look down at her older sister and yells "You'll like it because it's STINKY LIKE YOU!" she then enters her room and slams the door closed.
"WHAT? OKAY! GO TO YOUR ROOM!" Gali yells at the top of her voice.
Hahli opens the door and yells equally loud "I'M ALREADY IN MY ROOM!" She slams the door but harder and louder this time.
Feeling the need to scream, Gali goes to the living room and picks up a couch cushion, puts it onto her face and makes muffled screams. In Hahli's room, Hahli was also making muffled screams on her bed but into her pillow. Soon both girls groan and fall onto there backs in frustration. Today can be considered the worst day ever.
