Aloha `oe, aloha `oe
Nani flung her backpack across the room and darted towards the bathroom, dragging behind a rosy gown under all the fuss. She had just came back from the luau, not having realized how long she'd been there until she saw the dusk rolling in. She tossed her dress hastily over the counter to free her hands from the arbitrary burden. She bumped against the walls in an effort to do away with her pants, nearly noting over her mirror. “Not on the night of my prom! Stupid pants!” She moaned, tossing her hands into the air in exasperation, struggling to take it off. A good twenty minutes later, after causing quite a commotion in the bathroom, she lifted up the zipper of her shimmering gown. Her hair had been smoothed back to perfection, dress looked as soft as a rose petal, and her high heels made her feet look unusually graceful. Though there was something missing. Something seemed out of the picture. Nani turned her head and saw a bouquet of fresh flowers floating within a delicate glass vase. She looked both ways—no one there to catch her in the act! She plucked the flower and tucked it shamelessly behind her ear. A shy smile crossed her lips. She wasn’t very secure about her looks, but understood that this was her night…she wasn’t going to ruin it with negative thoughts. Slowly, carefully did she open the door. Not having expected her father to suddenly pop up in front of her, she jumped. Realizing it was only her dad, she rolled her eyes and smiled. “Papa, you lolo, you scared me to death!” She cried, hugging him. She let go and made her way into her room. Her father smiled sheepishly as she twirled around. “So…what do you think, huh? Mom bought it for me! I told her not to…but you know how she is…” She stopped talking, noticing her father smiling that broad Hawaiian smile. “You look beautiful—don’t worry so much. Being nervous over nothing, Nani.” He reminded, brushing a free strand of hair behind her ear. “I hate how you can read me like a book, you know?” She said, pouting. “That’s why I’m your papa.” He said smugly. A shrill voice echoed from the hall, a voice that belonged to her eccentric mother, “Mai poina! Don’t forget the lucky s p o o n! Bring good luck to your wedding they do!” The two rolled their eyes . “It’s not a wedding, it’s a prom!” They called back. “Whatever, they all sound the same! Remember, if they offer fish in happy wedding, do not eat! Fish control weather, yes?” She replied, appearing suddenly into the room. “No boy can resist you in that, okay? You are gorgeous!” She cried, smothering her with kisses that’d make just about even the darkest scream. “Here’s the s p o o n.” She said, tucking it into Nani’s little pink purse. Well, this is my ohana, right? She thought happily, giving into the affection…and the stupid s p o o n. [/size][/color] (Had to edit the word s p o o n that way because the forum censors it. O_-)

D: Where's David in this, you fiend?! XP {{Grin}}
This is awesome. I guess now we know where Lilo got her weirdness. It's funny how Nani looks like her mom and Lilo her dad, but the personalities are from vice-versa.
{{Head hurts}}
Continue when you can, Clauds...
Now...when you gonna do Frollo? :]

"One fond embrace", a ho`i a`e au
(I cried so bad doing this)
Lilo walked in the room irately, crossing her pudgy arms with absolute bitterness. “You rotten sister, you squished me with your butt, again! But this time because ‘gravititiee’ didn’t really pull you down!” She explained.
Nani stuck out her tongue. “Lilo, my butt has a mind of its own! It lands on those who annoy me. You’re one of them.” She said flatly.
Just then the phone rang. Lilo crawled onto Nani’s bed and answered the phone. A gleam shone in her moist brown eyes. “Hi, David! Nani isn’t here right now, but leave a message after the stink!’” She cried, imitating a fart sound.
“Lilo, don’t hang up!” Her voice fell as Lilo placed the phone back on its cradle. Her eyes narrowed. “Lilo, that call was really important!”
“But who’d want to talk to a butt over the phone?” Lilo asked, pressing her tiny hands on her sides.
“Ooohhh!” Nani growled.
The sisters verbally battled each other with shrieks that may well tear a house down. Their parents decided to take control of the situation by stepping in.
“Lilo, Nani, when we get home, we’re going to have a long talk about this, ok?” Their father said.
“But for now, she go to prom and party!” Their mother said, her Asian accent becoming clear.
Nani muttered things under her breath as she scooped up her baby sister into her arms and walked out the room to follow her all too happy parents. Her sister was quiet despite having heard the things her older sister said.
“Whatever.” Nani muttered.
Father started the car, the sound of the engine’s purr reaching their ears. The turn of the wheel smoothly guided the truck from out of the garage and into the open. Ironically, the radio was playing Elvis they sped off. While Lilo was swaying her head to the beat, Nani was busy cursing herself mentally for having her for a sister.
It wasn’t until several blocks away, a drunken driver zigzagged the narrow road, leaving little room to evade injury. Unaware of what was ahead, they were all continuing their peaceful night on the road. The harmony was shattered when that same driver smashed into their car, hurling the car over on its side in a violent roll. Shrieks pierced the air as helplessness became clear.
Nani held her screaming sister tight, covering Lilo’s eyes as the glass shattered, injuring her parents severely. Too scared to cry, Nani buried her face into her sibling’s hair, trying her hardest to search comfort in it all.
“Lilo, it’s gunna be alright…it’s going to be…Ouwaaaa!” She cried, feeling something cut her cheek.
Once the car came to a stop, Nani scrambled out with her little sister in her arms. The flattened car didn’t show much of what became of her parents, but the memory of the incident would scar her for life.
“Nani, what happened?” Lilo asked, her voice breaking with fear.
“Stay here, Lilo. Don’t move.” Nani ordered. Running back to check on her parents, she screamed at the sight. They were…they were…asleep, that’s all. Yes, asleep…
“Papa, wake up! We’re ok now…we’re ok…” She said, smiling meagerly.
“Mom, stop playing around…we gotta get you two to a hospital!” Nani exclaimed, her gaze lingering on them.
She searched their faces for a sing of life; none.
False hope filled her.
“This is no time for games!” She cried, laughing pitifully.
Her voice broke as she continued living her lie.
“Lilo’s ok! Come on out…please?” She begged.
Her eyes became glassy.
“Please?” She begged, this time softer.
Lilo looked at her from a distance, innocent of the ordeal. “We gots to call a doctor! Doctors help!” Lilo cried, childish optimism dripping in her voice.
Nani felt like her heart sink to the pit of her stomach. As this awful news assimilated, she barely heard Lilo from where she sat. The ends of her beautiful pink dress had been torn…and there she spent her less than ideal prom.
“Lilo,” Nani began, then choked up. “Mom and Dad won't be coming home.”
Lilo reached for her. Nani scooped her up; Lilo buried her face in Nani's chest and began to sob.
“I’m sorry, Nani...for hanging up on David…” Lilo whimpered, burying her face into her older sister’s chest.
“You shouldn't have to apologize...I love you, Lilo.” Nani said in a broken voice, never letting her go.
They wept into the night as the authorities took over.
Now the next one will FINALLY have something to do with the site...and how she's made some of the oddest of friends. <3
(Thanks Kirst <3)
