At this rate she might not even survive long enough to see her land despoiled. But fate often intervenes, and in this case it did in the form of one friendly agent among the dark armies of bureaucrats which seemed to plague The Kingdom of the States United.<br/><br/>The honey-skinned angel took a seat beside her and proffered a bottle of water, which Ponipua poured over herself without regard for any form of dignity. "I am so sorry Kapua Nui. My fellow agents, they did not know who you are."<br/><br/>Ponipua looked up. "You follow the old ways?"<br/><br/>"Not really, Kapua Nui" the agent replied, lifting the cross that hung around her neck. "But my grandmother told me about them, and considering what we know now about your dimension - well two and two..."<br/><br/>"Thank you. And please, call me Ponipua." Considering all the haole agents did, it didn't seem fair to force the one person who was actually nice to her here stand on ceremony.<br/><br/>"Yes Kapua Ponipua. You can call me Leilani. Anyway, it's a long way from Ni'ihau. Why did you come?"<br/><br/>"It is for my Land, Leilani. There are evil developers who wish to transform it into a nest for birds."<br/><br/>"Nest for birds? I don't... oh wait. You mean The Robin's Nest." Her smile at recognition suddenly faded. If the old ways were true, then this girl had troubles indeed.<br/><br/>"Yes, the resort of Magnum the P.I. It must be stopped." She paused herself for a moment, then brightened with hope. "You are a kahuna of the States United. Certainly you can..."<br/><br/>"My apologies, Kapua Nui. My authority doesn't stretch that far - or beyond the airport for that matter."<br/><br/>"But... you are my only hope."<br/><br/>"Well, maybe<em>I</em>can't help you. But I think I know some people who can. They specialize in this sort of thing."<br/><br/>"You mean developers of land?"<br/><br/>"No - the<em>you</em>sort of thing. Give me a few minutes, Kapua Ponipua."<br/><br/>And Leilani was as good as her word. With the whole importation of flowers thing cleared up, they were out and on the road. After an hour of driving and polite conversation, they arrived at a nondescript building that turned out to be filled with all sorts of weird humanoids - denizens of her home dimension. "Here we are Kapua Ponipua."<br/><br/>"What is this place?"<br/><br/>"They call it The Organization for Demi-Human Agency. You can think of it as a Tiki Support Group."<br/><br/>"But there are no Kapua here. Other races yes, but..."<br/><br/>"Well, most Kapua don't come stateside for a reason."<br/><br/>"Oh. Yes. That. Well, thank you Leilani. I owe you a great debt."<br/><br/>"A pleasure to serve, Kapua Nui." And with that, Leilani ducked out, and left Ponipua amidst a sea of her own kind. Except not. She was found - and yet so lost.
