[alarms beeping]

OTTO: Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Six more days to go.

Woo-hoo!

Yay!

Six more days to go.

COMPUTER: hours, one minute and seconds

until Zero Gravity Zone opens.

[alarms stop]

Six more days!

Wake up, dork.

That stupid alarm has been going off for an hour.

[sleepy]: Only...

[more alert]: only...

Six more days.

[moans]

Why don't you get a calendar

like everyone else, your lameness?

RAY: I do.

I do.

I do.

I...

[ugh]

don't.

I do.

Ooh!

Sorry, Dad. Sorry, Dad.

We're kind of amped up.

Big day's almost here.

Yep, it's just around the corner.

Two more weeks.

What!?

No, six more days.

Six days?

I thought I had two weeks.

I can't get married in six days.

I'm not ready.

No, Zero Gravity opens in six days.

You're getting married in two weeks.

Oh, yeah, right, right.

[exhales]

I mean, I can't wait.

I'm getting married.

That's pretty great, huh?

[sighs]

It's going to be awesome, right, Otto?

Yeah, it's sweet.

Where are you guys going?

Training for ZGZ.

We're going to be in stellar shape by the opening.

Superprimo, mad-tight medal-nabbing,

mistaken-for-a-pro, illy-locking, feral kind of shape.

And why is that?

It's going to be the biggest opening day

in the history of... well, history.

They're having contests, giveaways,

and the rest of my life I can brag

that I was one of the first ones there.

It'll be like Christmas, summer

and Halloween all rolled into one epic day.

Well, in that case, you better get practicing.

But remember Noelani gets here at :,

so make sure you're back by then,

because it's really important that we welcome her as a family.

[door shuts]

Hello?

Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi.

I'm going to get married.

[breathing heavily]

I really appreciate all this, Tito.

Luckily it's just until the wedding.

I'm glad Noelani is staying at my place.

Now we can be roomies again.

Ancient Hawaiian saying: A wise man cherishes today

because tomorrow he could meet a fiery end

at the bottom of a volcano.

If you're trying to make me nervous,

I have news for you.

I'm already there.

Mind giving me a hand?

I've got a few more things outside.

[Ray gasps]

I'm starting to remember why we're not roommates anymore.

Otto, I almost had you.

You wish.

And that's just a taste

of what's going to be like at Zero Gravity Zone.

I'm going to own that place.

REGGIE: You sure will, Rocket boy,

if no one else in the entire world shows up.

Reg, be a player, not a player hater.

ZGZ is going to be totally rad, bros.

Skateboarding, dirtboarding, snowboarding

all in one place.

And it has the most sophisticated, climatized

environmental control system ever created.

Virtual summer, winter and spring

all coexisting under one roof.

Leave it to Squid to turn ZGZ into ZZ [snores].

A little less talking, a little more training.

Cut it short today.

Noelani gets in at :.

That'll be sweet when she moves in.

You guys are so lucky.

I wish I had two parents under one roof.

Why?

Two parents mean twice as many rules.

It's going to be way weird.

Not even-- Noelani is cool.

It's just one more place at the table-- right, Reg?

Nothing's going to change--

kind of like Otto's socks.

[group laughing]

LARS: Let me guess--

you're training for ZGZ.

Oh, too bad they don't let little dorks in there.

You got to be this big to get in.

Oh, man, I can't fit.

[mumbling]

Oh... me neither.

[groans]

[group laughing]

Ma'am, you don't have to push the button over and over.

Once will do.

Isn't it supposed to make a beep or ding?

Oh, it did, it did.

Up there-- every time you pushed it.

Sorry, I thought it was broken.

Now, what did you want?

Nothing.

I just thought it was broken.

Mommi, stop touching stuff.

Mommi forgives you for being bossy

because you're nervous about the wedding.

No, I'm not,

because we're keeping it nice and simple-- right?

Nice and simple my middle name.

What's this?

Hello?

It's not working.

[engine humming]

Perfect.

Ah! Tito!

Makes a statement, huh?

Yeah, here's the statement:

"Welcome to my Polynesian garage sale."

What is this?

Mr. Wiki-Waki Man.

I can't sleep unless he's watching over me.

[sighs]

REGGIE: Sorry we're late.

OTTO: I hit a stalefish.

I had to practice it a few hundred more times.

No worries, kids.

Noelani is not here yet,

but she will be any minute.

You mean her plane will be here any minute.

Exactly, and I'm supposed to pick her up at the airport!

REGGIE: Watch it, Dad!

Sorry! Sorry!

I'm just trying to make up for lost time.

Raymundo, you're in deep with the nerves.

No,I'm not.

Am I?

Okay, maybe.

So are you guys ready for Noelani to join the family?

One more Rocket.

You don't feel weird about this, do you?

No. Not really.

It's going to be a little different, I know,

but I think it's going to be better.

OTTO: Chillax, Raymundo.

It's going to be great.

RAY: Good-- I'm glad.

That makes me feel better.

The wedding stuff is going to be simple--

low key, just like a big party.

It's all good.

Everything is going to be fine.

And I just missed the airport exit

and I have no idea when the next one is,

which means technically I'm lost.

But I'm completely comfortable

with my lostness.

[groans]

Noelani!

Ray!

Where's Mommi?

Oh, there you are.

So glad you're here.

Yeah, I've been here for about minutes.

I'm sorry.

I missed the turn, and I forgot,

and Mr. Wiki-Waki Man...

No excuses.

Keeping your bride-to-be waiting

is an insult to the spirit.

Don't let it happen again.

I tease, I tease!

Come on, now,

give Mommi a big hug, you little man.

RAY: I can't wait to give you guys the royal tour.

OTTO: we'll hook a few down at the beach.

REGGIE: Hang out at the Shack.

I want to see Madtown, too.

Time for that after the wedding organized.

There's lots to do, and Mommi's going to need a lot of help.

Don't worry, Mommi.

Reg and Otto are happy to help out.

We just had a nice little talk about the wedding,

and they volunteered

to be at your service /-- right, guys?

No problem. Oh, yeah.

This could get ugly.

[Otto cheering]

Five more days to go!

[Otto cheering, Reggie giggling]

RAY: Hold on a second.

Before you take off, you need to clean out the hall closet

so Noelani has some place to put her stuff.

But all of our junk is in there.

Yeah, what are we supposed to do with it?

Well, if it's junk, throw it away.

We can't throw it away.

It's our junk.

I don't care what you do with it.

Just getyourjunk out ofNoelani'scloset.

Did I hear that right?

Did he just say, "Noelani's closet?"

She's got to put her stuff someplace.

[moaning]

But why does it have to be here?

[engine starts]

VIOLET: Yoo-hoo!

[brakes screech]

Congratulations, Ray.

Oh, we're so happy for you.

Marriage is such a wonderful, joyous thing.

Isn't that right, Merv?

Oh, yes, indeed.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it.

[bell dings]

Oh, those are my rhubarb fritters--

Merv's favorite, right, Mervy-poo?

Oh, right you are, my precious flower.

The truth is, Rocket, I can't stand her rhubarb fritters.

They taste like burnt car seats.

Well, that's what marriage is all about.

Do you want to be happy?

Never tell the truth.

But you'll find that out soon enough.

[engine revs]

Well, good luck to you, Rocket.

You'll need it.

Whew! Whew!

What reeks?

[sniffs]

The beautiful rejuvenating fragrance

of the pineapple-poi facemask.

Just two hours on the face takes years off.

So you'll look really young and be totally friendless.

Joke away, but this old coconut

going to be the prettiest best man you've ever seen.

[bubble pops]

[both groan]

Air! Ew!

P-U! No!

Mmm...

I'm pretty... and tasty.

NOELANI: And I was thinking

we'd have the ceremony on the beach-- simple, casual.

That sounds cool.

MOMMI: Little Ray Rocket!

You better be careful.

Ancient Hawaiian spirits got eyes everywhere.

They might think you was up to something no-no.

I... I just, uh...

I tease, I tease!

Okay, not so much this time.

So, what you two loving birds talking about?

Just making some wedding plans.

Really?

RAY: It's going to be casual.

On the beach with, you know, sand and some friends.

And I'll wear a little crown of white orchids--

a simple white dress.

So, what do you think?

That's not a wedding, that's a brunch.

But no worries, Mommi's going

to take care of everything.

The only thing you got to do is...

exactlywhat I say.

Meantime...

[yelps]

The groom got to stay

one canoe paddle away from the bride

until the day they for-sure married.

Okay, bye-bye for now, loving birds.

[giggling]

MOMMI: Back it up, lover-boy!

No make me bring the paddle in there.

[whimpering]

OTTO: I'm seeing it,

but I still can't believe it.

TWISTER: The tape doesn't lie, bro.

Degree of difficulty: massive.

Way to go, Sammy.

And I don't think it was an accident this time.

I mean, I really feel like I knew what I was doing.

Yeah, dude, you had your eyes open the whole time.

Our training sessions for ZGZ are definitely paying off.

That and being constantly exposed to my greatness.

Here, use your greatness to roll vid for awhile

so I can get in some runs.

Twist, where did you sh**t this footage of The Egg?

The what?

The Egg.

OTTO: You know, Shaun White.

Where'd you get the tape?

Dude, I don't have any tape of him.

Dude, you do, too!

I'm looking at it right now.

Really?

Can I check it out?

ALL: The Egg.

Just Shaun is cool.

Hey, do you guys know

where this Zero Gravity Zone place is?

It's a few blocks that way.

But it doesn't open until Saturday.

Yeah, I know.

They're having this contest opening day,

and I hope you guys are practicing,

because the winner trains with me

for a week in Lake Tahoe.

I'm heading over there right now

to go check the layout.

Training?

With you?

For a week?

In Lake Tahoe?!

Name's Otto Rocket,

also known as the winner of that contest.

[all grumbling]

Man, it's been a while since I hit up a skate.

Mind if I grind a few rails with you guys?

Here you go, bro.

Hey!

OTTO: Let's roll.

[car approaches]

There's my little Kiki.

What?

Mommi been looking all over for you.

We got wedding things to do.

The Egg.

No way!

Bummer.

Come on, Otto.

We promised we'd help out.

No, Raymundo promised we'd help.

MOMMI: Light a fire under it, Moeli.

These errands don't run themselves.

Something tells me, guys, if you don't go to her,

that loud lady's going to come to you.

And, dudes, I really don't need to see that.

SHAUN: Too late.

She's got you locked in her target.

Sorry, dudes.

I got to save myself.

Come on-- the sooner we go,

the sooner we'll get back to training.

How long can it take to pick out a few napkin rings?

OTTO: This is so budget.

Sorry, Shaun.

I guess our session will have to wait

until after I win the contest.

Whatever you say, O-Man.

SAM: Why don't we start off with a backside ?

It's kind of my specialty.

SHAUN: That sounds sick.

No...

OTTO: Why?

OTTO: Remember, Reg--

we are on a mission.

REGGIE: Errands run at the speed of sound,

back to the stairwell by :.

Exactly.

Rice, rice, rice...

Where do they keep rice in this joint?

[wheels squealing]

Done.

Next on the list...

MOMMI: Slow it down.

Finding the perfect rice

to throw at the bride is tricky.

It has to be the right size, color

and have proper aerodynamics.

OTTO: Aerodynamics?

What is this-- a wedding or a science project?

[laughing]

[stops abruptly]

You going to be needing these.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

REGGIE: Hey, Rocket Boy--

how about long-grain?

Time out.

Kilohana!

This the one.

[playing mellow rock 'n' roll]

Now, this what Mommi talking about.

[song continues]

Eat this quick.

That's good.

[song ends]

Not so fast.

We still got to pick the little people

what stands on top the cake.

There goes the day.

How long can it take to pick out

a few napkin rings?

Apparently, it takes all day!

Not only did I miss a full day of training,

I missed out on a skate session with Shaun White.

I'm bummed, too,

but it's important to Dad that we help out.

Besides, I think it's cool

that Noelani wants our input.

Whatever.

The only input I care about now

is inputting my head into my pillow.

Knack that.

Ow!

What the...?

Hey, little cuz.

Had to stow my stuff up here for right now.

Mommi needs the living room for her wedding business.

Hope that's okay.

It's cool, Tito.

Night, little cuz.

[sighs]

At least I still got ZGZ to look forward to.

[squeaking]

Sorry, I forgot this little guy.

No good sleep without Mr. Wiki-Waki Man.

I've got an extra if you want.

I'll pass.

Time for bed, Mr. Wiki-Waki Man.

What do you want me to read tonight?

"The Littlest Chicken?"

Again?

[door shuts]

[music playing on TV]

[giggling]

[channels switching]

Tito, what are you...?

Don't worry, brother!

I didn't touch your rollaway cot.

[Ray sighs]

Gee, thanks.

And what's wrong with the couch?

Not too comfortable.

And how's my bed working out for you?

It's pretty comfy, brother.

Good, glad to hear it.

I don't need a night's sleep or anything.

I'm only getting married in a week and a half.

Who needs sleep?

[giggling hysterically]

[changing channels]

[Tito chewing noisily]

[TV blaring]

Do you mind?!

Of course not.

Help yourself to whatever you want.

There's plenty.

No, I...

Oh, forget it.

[resumes switching channels]

Hey, how do you work the pay-per-view?

[man giggling on TV]

OTTO: Wedding junk out of the way.

Nothing to do today but get ready for ZGZ.

Let's roll, Rocket Girl.

Right behind you, Rocket Boy.

Woogity, woogity, woogity-- yeah!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[singing in Hawaiian over drumming]

REGGIE: What's going on, Dad?

Apparently there's a problem

with the date we chose for the wedding.

Mommi thinks it might be bad luck.

TITO: Turns out

it's during theLa'aukukahi,

when the sharp horns of the moon appear.

It's a bad day for planting,

but it's the most horrible day ever for a wedding.

[drumming continues]

[low trumpeting]

With the help of the ancient Hawaiian spirits,

I have chosen a perfect day for the wedding.

Four days from today.

The wedding is this...

Saturday? Saturday?

[screaming]

[Otto wailing]

This is Dad's wedding.

Don't you think it's a little more important

than a skate park opening?

No, I don't.

If you get married on Saturday,

the spirits will spit

on you.

She is not my mom,

and she'll never be my mom, okay?!

I just wish things would go back to normal

beforeRaymundo met Noelani.
