Island of Adventures

chapter 2

Nani made her way to the hula school to pick up the girls. "Lilo, Kahlia?" She asks, looking around.

No one answered, there was no one on the school's front porch.

Nani looked inside through the glass on the door. "Girls?" She asks, groaning as she got no reply.

Even the teacher was gone.

Nani sighed and headed back towards their house. "You girls better be home..." she threatens.

A blue car was starting to back out and almost hit the older girl, Nani.

Nani backed away a second then scowled at the car. She kicked the front of the car. "Watch where you're going... Stupid head!" She scolds before running to her house.

Inside there was a bald man in black suit with dooming sunglasses. He briefly scowled at the girl as she was running home.

Nani ran home and tried to open the door. "Lilo, Kahlia, open the door, girls..." she says both relieved and annoyed.

"Go away..." Kahlia drawls.

Lilo just continued to sulk and stare at the ceiling.

Nani manged to get her head and one arm through. "We don't have time for this, girls, the social worker is going to be here any minute." she informs.

Lilo blinked and glanced at her sister. "Leave us alone to die..." she droned.

Nani sighed and managed to get the lock undone, only to see the door was nailed shut too. She growled and started to threaten them about turning them into pies for the social worker. Kahlia merely turned over ignoring Nani. Lilo started to lip sync a bit to the Elvis song in the background. Kahlia was acting like this as she was depressed. She always was after anything mentioning 'Craziness' in a bullying or joking way. Lilo turned the music up a little, still depressed.

The social worker came and was revealed to be the man Nani insulted earlier. He saw her at her door, struggling to get in through the dog door and kicked her foot a little to get her attention.

Nani looked shocked as he pulled her out. "Love, and kindness." she finishes as she stood up. She hid the hammer quickly.

The social worker glanced at her as she held a hammer.

Nani dropped the hammer to the side. "You must be the..." she starts, before trailing off.

"The stupid head..." he answered for her.

"Oh. Ohhh..." Nani says, sheepishly. "I'm sorry, if I knew who you were, I'd never, uh, I can pay for that..." she flounders, ending in a defeated tone.

"It's a rental..." the man said sharply. "Are you the guardian in question?"

"Yes, I'm Nani... and you are..." Nani trails off to get to know the man's name.

"The stupid head." the man growled.

Nani looked sheepish again. "Once again, I'm sorry... but I meant your name... Anyway, shall we sit out here and talk?" She asks.

"Bubbles..." the man forced out his name, feeling slightly embarrassed by it. He then noticed the offer and glanced at her. "No, thank you..."

Nani bit her lip. "This way..." she says softly and jumped over her porch rails and headed towards the back door.

Bubbles followed her and saw a bit of a mess in the back door.

"You think she gave up?" Lilo whispered to Kahila as Nani seemed to have stopped trying to break into her own house.
