Video - Lilo Has a New Toy

[andstitch]

"Whoa! This is so cool!"

[The kid has the screen right up to her eye then pulls it back to a more normal distance.]

"I could film all sorts of cool things with this! Like space mummy vampires from Mars! But first I'm gonna need some actors. Oh! I wonder if this thing can call Jumba! Then he can make me all sorts of new actors!"

[Someone was bouncing like she'd had too much sugar.]

"For ever. Three whole years! Well maybe two. I don't know, since we got him at the pound. He's an orphan. Just like us," she said, nodding. "But now he's got an ohana. Us!"

[3wingedangel]

"'Us'"? he repeated. "Who else is normally with you?"

[andstitch]

"Like me and Nani. Though now we have an aunt Pleakley and an Uncle Jumba."

[3wingedangel]

"I see. Nani is your sister?" He wondered if she would end up here as well. Or if she was already here and looking.

[andstitch]

"Uh huh!" she said, nodding.

[3wingedangel]

"Have you been here long?" He wondered how familiar she was with the area.

[andstitch]

"Nope! That's why we have to explore!"

[3wingedangel]

"What kinds of things does your family enjoy?" he asked, wondering where they should look in case Stitch or Nani or the others might be there.

[andstitch]

"Ice cream. Ice cream is good," she said, nodding.

[3wingedangel]

"You think they would go to an ice cream parlor?" He was amused, and not at all sure she wasn't just saying that because she wanted ice cream.

[andstitch]

Bingo. "We should check. Just to be sure. Then the candy store."

[3wingedangel]

"Hm. If they are there, perhaps they're looking for you because they know those are favorite spots of yours?" he says.

[andstitch]

"Oh! Good idea! Then we should go to the movies also!"

[3wingedangel]

Further amusement.

“Wouldn’t it be difficult to see anyone in a darkened theatre?”

[andstitch]

"It's okay, my dog can see in the dark."

[3wingedangel]

“And what if he wouldn’t be there?”

[andstitch]

"Then we'll try somewhere else after the movie! But first, candy and ice cream!"

[3wingedangel]

Amused, Sephiroth finally said, "Of course, as a responsible adult, I can't allow you to completely overindulge on sweets. But you may have some if we find such places."

He wondered if she managed to get a lot of people to fall for that or if people generally did not, and whether or not they would indulge her anyway. But she had come through an experience that would surely be distressing to most children once they really processed being alone, so he was willing to let her have some treat out of it. At least this time.

[andstitch]

Don't worry, I secretly have two stomachs, so I can eat loads!"

[3wingedangel]

"Oh, I see."

Honestly, that sounded like something Zack might have said, so he was further amused and found the child endearing.

"Have you seen any of the city before?"

It was an interesting place, very urban with very few areas of grass and trees. He preferred the area outside the city, where those things were still prominent.

[andstitch]

"No. Actually I've never seen any city except on TV. Well... and except when aliens were attacking. I live on a small island with no big cities," she said, cheerfully. "Do cities have more candy shops?"

[3wingedangel]

"They generally do, yes," he said. "This city looks like it's still being built, so I don't know if they've got that far yet."

But he had a hard time believing there wouldn't be at least one candy store.

[andstitch]

"Candy shops should be first," she said, nodding. "And movie theaters. Oh, and a surf shop so Nani can have a job. After the candy store can we go surfing?"

[3wingedangel]

“I’m afraid I don’t know how to surf,” Sephiroth said. “And I don’t think this city is near enough to an ocean to have surfing as an option. I believe I heard about a place on another continent that may have surfing.”

Lilo.exe has stopped at the thought of not being close enough to the ocean to surf. Please reboot or insult an Elvis record to restart Lilo.exe.
