Feels Like Home

Bakura sighed a few nights later.

Maia had gone out with her friends as usual after dinner but went to the mall.

She was starting to think that Maia wanted to be an normal Earth girl after all by going to the mall and hanging out.

She had a feeling her friend was beginning to forget about her.

Marcon had a feeling something was wrong as they were at the beach.

"What's wrong?

You seem distracted for some reason." he told her.

Bakura sighed at that as she heard laughter and gasped.

Maia was with some girls but a boy was with them.

"That's what's bugging you?

I thought you'd be happy she has friends." he told her.

"Yes I am but she's changed ever since she became friends with Mimi and her friends." Bakura said to him.

"I don't understand.

What do you mean?" Marcon said to her.

"She is beginning to forget about me.

She used to hang out with me and do things with me but ever since she met Mimi, she always goes to the mall and wears make up.

I guess she wanted to be an normal Earth girl after all." she answered him.

But she'd no idea Maia had overheard her.

"I never knew you were feeling that.

I should talk to her later when I get home." she thought leaving with her friends.


Jumba was scared as he'd finally became an experiment physically but was still him in soul and mind.

He hid himself under the covers as he heard somebody enter the ship.

It was Pleakley.

"Jumba are you here?

Hello?" the Plorgian called out.

Jumba sighed but decided to show himself hearing the concern in his friend and room mate's voice.

Pleakley gasped in awe seeing Jumba in experiment form.

He had purple brown fur, floppy soft ears, four black beady eyes and slender.

"Jumba are you okay?

You seem scared." the Plorgian told him.

Jumba then cried but felt Pleakley hug him but stroked his fur gently.

"I feel better.

I know the others won't accept me as this." Jumba told him but Pleakley already had.

He hoped the ohana wouldn't like him as this.

But he would wait and see.


Bakura woke up as the door to her and Maia's room opened as Maia came in with bags which made the female experiment sad as the human teenager got changed into pyjamas but she knew that Bakura was feeling sad because she'd overheard her experiment friend venting her feelings but was trying to find the words to say to express her feelings.

"I...... heard you talking to Marcon and sad because you thought I was ignoring you and you're right.

Ever since I started being friends with Mimi and her posse, I have been neglecting you which wasn't right.

I'm trying to say I'm...... sorry for what I did.

I still want to be your friend." Maia told her as Bakura nodded.

"I accept your apology but will Jumba be okay?" she replied.

"I don't know Bakura but I hope so." she replied as she heard talking going on in the kitchen.

"What's going on?" Bakura asked Marcon.

"The rest of the ohana just saw Jumba in experiment form and they're worried but it's my fault." he answered.

"Why is that?" Bakura asked him.

"I mixed some of my DNA with his.

That's why he's an experiment in appearance." he told her sadly as she hugged him.

"You were brave and found a way to help Jumba with his illness but I'm sure they'll accept him in no time.

We are ohana." she reassured him as he nodded but they saw Jumba run out through the dog door to the Big Red Battleship and was worried.

They had a feeling he was upset.......
