Lilo had just bought shaved ice. Nani had to go to work for the afternoon so lilo was suppose to stay in town, and stay out of trouble. She smiled putting on her sunglasses and walking down the sidewalk.
Lilo walked home happily. Hula lessons had been good, and she hadn’t gotten in trouble. Today was good. She thought as she walked on. Lilo hummed lightly to herself a bright smile on her face. Maybe I’ll go down to the beach. Lilo thought turning towards the…
Lilo looked down into the water expecting to see a fish, but gasped in surprise when she was that it was a person. “Hey! What are you doing!? Trying to scare me to death!” Lilo didn’t see the girls tail, instead was transfixed on her red hair. Lilo had never seen such red hair. Of course Mertel’s hair was red, but not like that.

Maybe I’ll go down to the beach. Lilo thought turning towards the water. The beach was surprisingly packed for a late afternoon. Quickly Lilo changed into her stripped swimsuit, before running to the water. She splashed in the ocean laughing.
