"Where Lilo?" Stitch looked curiously out the window. "Sit," Nani patted the empty spot next to her on Lilo's bed. Stitch climbed up the post on the end of the bed and circled around on the patterned comforter. Finally, he sat. "You see Stitch, Lilo is getting older. She will be turning nineteen pretty soon. People Lilo's age usually...well they..." Jumbo stomped in plopping himself on the bed; bouncing Nani off the end. "What Nani is doing a terrible job at explaining is that Lilo will be leaving. Soon." "Gee, thanks Jumbo. I was TRYING to tell him gently," Nani pushed her hair out of her face and got up from the floor. "Why make the sugar wear a coat?" "The phrase is 'sugarcoat' Jumbo." "Potato, tomato." "Is true? Lilo leaving Stitch?" Stitch looked at Nani with drooping eyes. "Well, yes. She will be going to college in the fall." "Stitch go with Lilo." "I'm afraid that isn't an option. There are no animals...or aliens aloud." "What about ohana?" Lilo pulled up into the drive way. Stitch ran down the stairs and out the front door. "Aloha Stitch," Lilo said grinning. Stitch looked back at Lilo then kept running. "What's wrong with him?" Lilo asked entering the front door. "Well according to my calculations, Nani told Stitch about something called college where aliens aren't aloud. Personally, that sounds like a horrible place," Pleakley said. "Nani!" Screamed Lilo stomping up the stairs. "I told you not to tell him about me leaving yet!" She swung open the door to find her sister and Jumbo sitting on her bed. "I'm sorry Lilo but he was just starring out the window waiting for you the entire time you were visiting the college. I felt like he needed to know that it was going to be a regular thing. Plus, you big friend over here was the one who said it so harshly." Nani pointed to Jumbo. "Well, obviously he wasn't ready to hear it." Lilo's brow furrowed looking at the two. "I'm going out to find him." Lilo pulled out of the driveway and only minutes later found Stitch sitting on the beach listening to Hound Dog and eating an ice cream cone he stole from a big bald man with an odd tan line. "Sorry about him sir, he's depressed." Lilo handed the slobber-covered cone back to the man. "Stitch," Lilo sat down next to the sad alien. "I know you're upset but please listen." "After song ends, Stitch listen." Lilo took off her sandals and buried her feet in the sand. "...and you ain't no friend of mine." The final note of the song rang in the summer breeze. "Clever." Lilo looked at her little blue friend. "Now will you listen?" Stitch nodded but his eyes fell to the sand. "Stitch, I know it's hard for you to understand but I am not going because I want to leave you. College is just a part of life after high school. I won't be there forever. Plus, I'm not leaving until September, we still have the whole summer together!" Stitch starred blankly at the ocean. "I wish I could take you, I do. I'll come visit every chance I get." Lilo followed Stitch's eyes. She watched as fish jumped out and in the water, causing ripples to expand. "Truth is Stitch, I have a mission for you." Stitch took his eyes off of the ocean. "But it's a secret. No one can know." Lilo lowered her voice, "Not even Nani." The little blue alien looked around making sure no one was listening. "What Stitch's mission?" "I want you to feed Pudge while I am away. If Nani asks where all the bread and peanut butter keep going, deny everything." Stitch nodded. "I also need you to keep Nani out of my stuff. She's probably going to try to get rid of some things while I am gone. Protect Elvis with your life." Stitch posed; making his best guard face. "That's my Stitch."
