Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board Page #5

Chris! Chris!

Akoni Kama!

He's got brown hair...

Oh, yeah! Way to punch it!

I'm just saying,

call me anytime you want.

- I'm sorry.

- Whatever.

Tony Cabo

with the nice back flip!

Excuse me, have you

seen a kid about this tall?

Oh, backside

fakey 180 from Leon.

Trick, ladies and gentlemen.

360 indie grab.

Backside 360 double grab.

Whoa! Massive one-footer.

Good ride, man.

That's Akoni Kama.

Give him a big hand! He'll be here

all day signing autographs.

Grandpa? Yeah.

We haven't... found him.

- I...

- Just back off!

No, no! I actually... I just found him!

Tell Carla not to worry.

I will bring him back.

I'm sick of this.

I've been working.

- You have not proven yourself!

- I haven't?

- Hey, hey, hey. Everybody chill.

- I'm way better than you!

Listen, Barney. Maybe you

should take your training wheels

and go home before

you say something really stupid.

- Whoa, barney?

- That's not cool.

I know your problem.

You're afraid to race me!

Yes, Chris, you caught me. I... I am

afraid. I'm afraid I'm going to die...

...of boredom.

- A-ha! Classic. You're gonna die...

OK, uh, the guys at ProBoards,

they, um...

They want to meet the Dirt Devils!

- Yes!

- All right, Dirt Devils. Follow me.

Hey, hey, Troy? Troy. Troy, listen.

Listen, I really want to be

on your crew, OK? I'm... I'm ready.

- Just give me a chance.

- Troy, Chris is really great.

- Give him a chance.

- We gotta get back home.

Whatever you want, I'll do it.

I'll do it now.

Oh, OK. Uh...

Here's what I wanna see.

I wanna see you tellin' your new dad

if it's a board and it has wheels,

it sells at my shop.

- Period.

- Yeah. OK, man. Whatever.

- Just let me ride.

- Chris, we gotta jet.

- Let me go.

- Jared's my team captain.

He knows what it takes to be on

this team. If he says you're in,

then you get to wear the D-squared logo.

You want to be a Devil, grom?

You gotta get air. Big air.

- Not those baby bumps you been ridin'.

- No problem. Name the place.

How about... Pupukea?

The gap at the bottom

of the south trail.

- When?

- Tomorrow. 3:
00.

Chris, come on. Let's go.

- I'm there.

- Can't wait.

That's Akoni Kama. He'll

be here all day signing autographs.

- He ran away from home, John.

- He went to hang with his friends,

- and do what he loves.

- He took the bus! By himself!

Old lady tourists

take the bus around here.

That's not the point, OK?

As he gets older,

he's going to make mistakes.

- He's gonna do things he regrets.

- I know.

Sometimes he'll need his mother.

But right now, what he needs most

is to be part of something.

To belong.

Ah, great.

You know, they say that

if you're a pipeline surfer,

you're gonna get hurt.

It's not a matter of if, or when.

- It's inevitable.

- You know, as usual,

I have no idea what

you're talking about.

Your mom and my grandpa.

They are going to get married.

Whether we like it or not,

it's gonna happen.

We are gonna be a family.

So all this yelling

and slamming doors, running away,

it's not gonna change anything.

In the meantime,

you're making everyone miserable.

You know what?

You can leave me alone.

You know, all I want...

All I want is

for my grandpa to be happy.

And I think your mom deserves the same.

She seems like a really nice person.

That's all I'm saying.

Yeah, thanks.

I'll always cherish this moment.

Later, brah.

Ooh! Oh...

There. No, back.

- Back.

- You sure?

Yes. Back. That's it.

Unless...

You know where we could put this?

Right here.

Perfect.

- How's that checklist, Mel?

- Very checked, thank you.

- Flowers finally came!

- Check.

- Oh, music.

- Uh, check.

- Thank you.

- Hula dancers?

- Double check.

- OK.

Um, you do realize this

isn't even the actual wedding.

- It's just the rehearsal dinner.

- Just wait till you get married, Pono.

Hey.

- Do I have to worry about you today?

- No. No.

Hey. You're my boy.

Kiss me.

- Uh, Pete? You ready to go?

- Yeah. Shoot.

- Go where? We still need muscle.

- What?

Oh, don't worry. We'll be back. We just

have a few, uh, details to take care of.

We'll be ready

for the grand opening tomorrow.

Oh, grand opening in the morning,

wedding at night. Am I crazy?

A whole day of new beginnings, Pono.

- So what? You coming?

- Nah.

Somebody's gotta stay behind

and... be the muscle.

- Thank you.

- Don't rip your shirt, Rock.

Very funny.

And just so you know, it's The Rock.

OK, The Rock.

We'll see you hula time, eh?

All right.

Hey, um, come on, man.

I need some help.

Come on.

- All right, we'll look at...

- Hey, um, thanks.

- For what?

- You know, for not telling anyone

- about the jump today.

- Oh, well, that was easy.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Because there isn't gonna be any jump.

- Says you.

- What's up?

- You see those flower arrangements?

- The stupid pineapple ones?

- Yeah.

My mom has spent hours on them. My dad

has set up every chair and table here.

- So?

- So for the next 24 hours,

you and your miserable little life

consists of doing whatever it takes

to make this day special

for your mom and my grandpa,

just like the rest of us.

- Or what?

- Trust me. You don't want to know.

- Johnny?

- You win. Fine.

- Good.

- I need you to go into town

and pick up things from this list.

Don't forget ice.

- Yeah, sure. No problem.

- Hey, um, can I come?

Why do you want to come?

I thought I'd help you out

with the ice bags.

- OK. Thanks.

- Yeah. Gotcha, bro.

Just, uh, wait for me in the car.

I'm impressed. How'd you do that?

I, uh, guess I appealed

to his sense of self-preservation.

OK. Seat belts.

- All right. Bye, Mom.

- Seat belt!

Hey, uh, gotta go to the bathroom.

- Why didn't you go before we left?

- Didn't have to go then.

Well, all right. Just come and find me

when you're done. This list is crazy.

Hold that.

I can't believe I fell for that.

Great. Flat tire.

Yo,

that's at least 15 feet deep.

Don't fall in.

It's looking pretty gnarly!

That's your jump, Chrissy.

Let's go.

- I can't believe you fell for that.

- OK, really not the point.

You gotta admit, it's funny.

Mom, dad and grandpa

are going to think it's hilarious.

There they are.

- Do this and I'm a Dirt Devil?

- Absolutely. It's all you, bro.

Tell me he's not

gonna try that gap.

- I wish I could.

- Chris, wait!

Decision time, C. You better hurry.

Nephew doesn't look too stoked.

Chris, hold up!

Oh! Oh!

Chris!

- You all right?

- My arm! It kills.

- Stay still. Just stay still.

- That was awesome, dude.

- Back off, all right? I'm serious!

- It's cool, OK?

- Does anything else hurt?

- No.

- I'm gonna get help, OK?

- OK. All right, go. Thanks.

- You all right?

- How could you let this happen, Johnny?

You were keeping an eye on him.

I was. He's like

some 12-year-old evil genius.

Johnny tried to stop Chris.

We just got there too late.

You gotta give him props

for that jump. It was pretty sweet.

I think we'll hold off on the props

for a little while.
