Lilo and Stitch came out in 2002, and Lilo was seven at the time (according to sequels, I believe), so what happened when Lilo grew up? Well maybe she went to pursue what else was going on with interplanetary relationships, which might have brought her to the site of a UFO crash many years before, Gravity Falls, Oregon in 2013, just a few weeks after Weirdmaggedon.
I don't own the characters, except for potential OCs, yada yada, enjoy!
"I think we're gonna fit in," Lilo said, glancing around the small, weird little town. Stitch nodded.
"Yeah." Stitch lifted one of her bags. There was a ukulele on her back and a camera around her neck, essentials, but otherwise, she'd tried to pack light for her "gap year." She figured anything she needed she could pick up overpriced at a gift shop.
"Let's find that place Cobra set us up with."
"Okay, this is a shack," Lilo said with a laugh, looking at the little guest hut on the back of the Corduroy's property, past several stray axes.
"It would be great for surfboards though." She was joking, but it was great anyways. It was perfect.
"I should thank Cobra for all this..."
"And I should probably call Nani since she told me to let her know when I was in Oregon." She dropped her stuff inside the shack and flopped down on the bed, a dust cloud rising.
"Well, I should probably deal with this." A baseball bat was leaning by a broken window and she picked it up to begin to beat the dust out of the bed.
"Need any help?" A younger girl leaned in the door frame, and Stitch sniffed at her curiously.
"Lilo right? I'm Wendy. Dad told me to help you settle in. Sorry about the dust, but I hope you're finding things alright."
"It's nice to meet you, Wendy, and it looks great. I love it, dust and all. Oh, this is my dog Stitch." Stitch scrutinized the newcomer inquisitively.
"He's a handsome little guy, isn't he?" Wendy said with a grin, rubbing Stitch's head good-naturedly.
"That's my Stitch alright." Stitch grabbed the camera Lilo had just set aside and took a picture of Wendy, who laughed and posed a little.
"And very smart. Do you need any help unpacking?"
"I'll do it later. I uh... I was wondering if there was any good place to get food?" After the flight and the drive, she was a little tired and hungry.
"You can eat with us. Dinner is in 30 minutes." Lilo smiled gratefully.
"Do you need any help with dinner?"
"You can help me set the table," Wendy offered, and Lilo followed her into the main house. It was very rustic, not exactly what Lilo was used to, but something she could get behind.
"Hey, I'm going to call my sister real quick, tell her I made it here safe," Lilo told Wendy after helping with the table. She already liked the ginger girl. Wendy was certainly nicer than some gingers she'd known in her life... AKA, Myrtle Evans. Myrtle wasn't as bad as she had once been, but she certainly hasn't been as immediately welcoming as Wendy was.
"Okay, make yourself at home." Lilo dropped down on the couch and hit the number in her favorites.
"Lilo, thank goodness. I was worried something happened."
"What could happen?" Lilo laughed, "I'm fine."
"Well it wouldn't be the first time you were kidnapped by aliens," Nani pointed out.
"Oh, well. Anyways, I'm here, and the family seems nice so far, and everything's great."
"Well, stay safe, I love you. I have to go pick up your niece and nephew from school."
"Alright. I love you!" Lilo smiled, feeling a faint tug of homesickness, and went back over to Wendy.
"If you don't mind me asking, what made you decide to come here? Oregon and Hawaii aren't very similar."
"Yeah, I'm noticing that. It's a lot colder here. To tell you the truth, I've heard that this place is a little strange. I've come to research some things." Wendy glanced around and leaned in close.
"Later tonight, there are some things I'll need to tell you about." Lilo nodded, glad she had someone who knew a few things about the town on her side. Suddenly, a large rumble of noise entered the building. It was something similar to the sound of her first alien attack. But it was actually just three red-headed boys in descending heights, the tallest of which stepping past the other two as they wrestled. Wendy glanced at her younger brothers with an eye roll.
"Kevin, Gus, get your acts together, dinner is almost ready." The oldest had stepped into the kitchen and pulled a hat up from over his eyes, looking Lilo over.
"We have a guest?" He asked.
"Yeah, this is Lilo Pelekai, she's from Hawaii and she's staying in the guest room."
"We have a guest room?" Wendy jerked her thumb back towards the backyard.
"Oh, yeah, forgot about that..."
"This is my brother Marcus, he's kind of dense."
"Oh, I'm dense, am I, Firefly?" Marcus grumbled, pulling his hat back down.
"Firefly?" Lilo asked, intrigued by the apparently insulting nickname.
"This idiot used to eat fireflies because she thought she could become a fairy."
"I was five. Forgive me for actually having an imagination, Marcus." Marcus crossed his arms and sputtered. Lilo didn't know what was going on.
"That's not fair, Wendy." She softened.
"Yeah. Sorry. Dinner's almost ready." Marcus then turned to Lilo.
"I feel kind of dumb, not knowing you were coming. I'm sure someone told me, but it's been a crazy summer. Welcome to Gravity Falls."
"Thanks, you'll have to tell me about that crazy summer sometime."
"Dinner!" Wendy screamed through the house, and soon Lilo and the Corduroy children were all seated.
"Lilo these are my younger brothers, Kevin and Gus. I am sorry in advance for anything they might do to you. Our dad will be here soon but we can start eating."
A few minutes later, Manly Dan Corduroy entered his snug cabin, glancing around and noticing the extra face.
"Glad you made it here safe, Lilo. I hope you enjoy your stay. Marcus, you're giving Lilo a tour of town tomorrow."
"I have work, dad."
"Not anymore. As your boss, I'm giving you leave for whatever our guest might need." Marcus looked like he was about to object, and then he kind of deflated in his chair.
"He doesn't have to." Lilo really, really didn't want to inconvenience her host family.
Marcus sat up and looked at her, "I don't mind showing you around, it's my pleasure. I'm just still getting used to having a guest here."
"Oh, okay. That sounds great."
"See you tomorrow then." With that, Marcus got up and disappeared into the room he shared with his brothers.
"Kevin, Gus, your sister cooked so you're cleaning up. Wendy, have you made our guest feel at home yet?" Manly Dan ordered his family like a small army.
"We were actually about to go unpack her stuff. Come on, Lilo."
When the door was shut and cardboard was shoved over the broken window Wendy turned serious.
"You're right about this town being strange. There's some weird crap you really, really need to know about." Fortunately for Lilo, weird crap was what she knew best.
