Searching For An One True Place

A/N Here's more for my fave reviewers.

I hope you like.

I wonder what Ace wants to talk to Jumba about?

Maru smiled as he set up his lair but his daughter was curious but wanted to help him.

"Dad what's the plan?" she asked him as Maru cackled evilly at his daughter's question.

"We're going to get revenge on Jumba's precious experiments and then take over the galaxy!" Maru answered as she understood but she wanted more than that but never told her father.....

"It's not like he'd care about me anyways.

All he cares about is taking over stuff." she thought as she went to her room......

"What do you want to talk to Jumba about 262?

It better not be about what you normally bug me about!" Jumba said as he and Ace were in his basement lab so they wouldn't make Nani angry.

"It's not Jukiba.

I've decided that Nikko...... should be with you and the other experiments.

I've tried my best to help him and I couldn't do a thing but that niece of yours was able to calm him down so well that made me decide this." the older red and white furred experiment told him with tears in his eyes which surprised Jumba.

"Are.... you sure..... this is what you want?" Jumba asked him.

"Ih.

Don't tell him, okay?

It would make things worse." Ace said leaving but Lilo saw him leave looking upset.

Jumba sighed at that.

He hadn't meant to hurt Ace's feelings.

But he pushed away the feelings as he saw Nani getting ready for a date as Nikko was running around chasing Nabu and eating a sandwich.

"Are you sure you can watch them?" Nani asked as David was ready to go.

"Ih Nani." he answered sadly.

Nani and Pleakley wondered what that was about but decided to leave Jumba be.

Mika was unpacking her stuff in the spare room of the Big Red Battleship but saw sadness in her Uncle Jumba's eyes and wondered what was wrong as he was working on something. Pleakley was watching T.V while Lilo was ordering pizza but she saw Nikko asleep on the couch but looked like he was crying but wondered what was wrong as Mika came into the room but picked up the young experiment and put him on her lap. Lilo smiled at that.

He looked so cute when asleep.

"Something bad happened because Ace hasn't returned for him.

Maybe I should ask Jumba what's going on." she thought entering the kitchen and seeing her uncle upset.

"There's..... something you should know Lilo." he said to her as she sat beside him.

"What is it?" Lilo asked him.

"Ace...... has finally given up on Nikko.

He said that Nikko should stay here with us but I think it was because of me.

I never meant to hurt his feelings like that.

He also told me not to tell Nikko about it.

Please keep secret." Jumba explained to her.

Lilo was a little surprised hearing that but felt sorry for Nikko.

"Why would he leave him behind like that?

That's not what ohana's about." she thought as the pizza man was here.

"I'll get it!" she said as she heard Sukai and the other experiments excited as Lilo brought the pizza to the kitchen.

But she noticed Nikko was quiet as Mika was eating but had a sad expression on his face.

"Maybe he should have some ice cream.

It'll make him feel better." Pleakley told her as he put a bowl in front of the young red furred experiment but he wouldn't eat.

Mika was getting ready for bed but heard whimpering as she went downstairs to get a drink and found Nikko curled up in a ball but seemed scared as his eyes opened with sadness in them. She wondered what was wrong as she picked him up.

"Are you okay?" she asked him as she stroked his fur.

"Nikko naga like dark.

Scared." he said crying.

Mika then hugged him in her arms.

"Ssh.... it's okay.

You can come with me." she said to him as he began to calm down and went upstairs.

He then calmed down as they walked into Mika's room and the light was still on. She then put him down on the bed as she climbed in as Nikko climbed in beside her.

"Meega like you Mika.

You not afraid of Nikko." he told her snuggling her.

"Yes I do.

You're my friend.

You should never forget that but why were you sad eariler?" she replied to him as he looked away.

"Nikko sad because Daddy no want Nikko.

He fed up with me.

He...... doesn't want me." he said crying.

Mika felt sorry for him as she hugged him.

"Nikko I'm sorry.

Maybe he'll realise what he's done and come back for you.

At least you have me." she said as she comforted him while he cried himself to sleep.

Jumba heard all that and sighed.

He wished he could help but had a bad feeling something would happen but didn't know what.......
