(In the room around Rumplestiltskin and Stitch various weapons are being prepared all extremely lethal they shine like silver prepared to be used in the harshest way.)
Stitch: Stitch won't fight.
Rumplestiltskin: You won't be fighting at first but you will have to hit every curve at I throw at you. We're going to test your invulnerability. That's what these are for. He gestures to the weapons in the room. Stitch tries to escape through the door but it is stuck tight.)
Rumplestiltskin: Don't bother it's magically sealed. It can only be opened from the outside except of course me. (Laughs) Now we begin.
(A trap door suddenly opens underneath Stitch he falls through and lands on a floor of pipes they suddenly begin to heat up like a fireplace. When suddenly the whole room is engulfed with flames. Rumplestiltskin watches from outside through a window he turns off the fire and sees Stitch is unharmed. He giggles creepily.)
Rumplestiltskin: Excellent. (The next test has Stitch in a hall way with swinging blades coming at him getting closer and closer like a gust of wind. They finally reach Stitch and shatter when they make contact with him. Next Rumplestiltskin has Stitch testing his strength with a large pile of rocks he lifts it with ease.)
Rumplestiltskin: Good now let's a little bit more pressure. See how much you can exert. (He conjures up a wagon Stitch stills has no trouble lifting it the Dark one then conjures a tree Stitch is able to lift it all but he is beginning to strain Rumplestiltskin conjures more and more objects Stitch lifts them but continues to struggle. )
Rumplestiltskin: Now let's keep going. (He conjures more and more heavy objects Stitch continues to struggle and whimper. As Rumplestiltskin watches Stitch's face contort in pain he suddenly begins to think of Bealfire the pain on his son's face as he watched his father do horrible things. Rumplestiltskin can no longer go through with more weights.)
Rumplestiltskin: That's enough. (He makes the objects disappear Stitch relaxes. Rumplestiltskin briefly leaves to be alone.)
(Return to the present in the library Stitch is very angry after Rumplestiltskin came. Henry and Belle try to calm him down.)
Stitch: Rumplestilskin always hurt Stitch hound Stitch stab Stitch with stupid needles.
Belle: Calm down Stitch just tell us what happened?
Flashback. (Rumplestiltskin is at his spinning wheel spinning gold thread thinking to himself about the tests. He is unsure if he can go through with it. )
Rumplestiltskin: How can I keep doing this? He does'nt understand what's going on. But his powers imagine what they could bring me. I can't give up I must have it! (He heads back to the room carrying a needle that has been enchanted.)This should pierce that thick skin of his.(He arrives back in the room where Stitch is strapped down to an operating table. Rumplestiltskin stabs the needle into Stitch who thrashes about crazily. Rumplestiltskin stores the blood into a container.
Rumplestiltskin: Yes. A blood sample of the most powerful creature in the land.(He puts it in a vial on the shelf)
Stitch: Why you doing this? Stitch never hurt you. (Rumplestiltskin looks at him almost sympathetic before turning away)
Rumplestiltskin: You would'nt understand.
(In an arena outside Stitch is in the ring. Rumplestiltskin opens the door to let out a giant ogre the creature charges at Stitch)
Rumplestiltskin: Better get ready to fight he looks angry. (Stitch looks at Rumplestiltskin and at the charging ogre he does'nt do anything the ogre bats him away.)
Rumplestiltskin: What are you doing? Fight back!(Stitch continues to do nothing as the ogre knocks him around.)
Stitch: Stitch not monster. ( The ogre continues to attack him. Rumplestiltskin is angry)
Rumplestiltskin: You're a weapon! You're built to destroy! (The ogre continues attacking Stitch Rumplestiltskin can no longer watch)
Rumplestiltskin: (To the ogre) Enough! (The ogre stops and leaves going back into it's cage Rumplestiltskin walks up to Stitch)
Rumplestiltskin: Why won't you fight? You're built to be a fighting machine! (Stitch looks up at him and responds strongly)
Stitch : Cause Stitch taught not to be a monster. Stitch can be what he wants to be. Stitch is Stitch. (Rumplestiltskin looks at him before using magic to knock him down.
Rumplestiltskin: So you've been taught to love. I'll teach you what's really important. (Throughout the next few weeks Rumplestiltskin continues testing Stitch almost torturing him. But Stitch does not break he refuses to fight. Rumplestiltskin can't understand meanwhile back at the house Lilo grows worried)
Lilo: It's been weeks! Why has'nt he gotten back to me?
Nani: Lilo it's a huge adjustment for Stitch he comes from a different world it's gonna take a while.
Lilo: I know but-
Nani: But what?
Lilo: I'm just afraid Stitch will miss his home too much. Like I can't provide that for him. I don't have a lot of friends.
Nani: LILO it's friend your family that make your home not the technology. When you have friends and family it does'nt matter where you are who you have with you. (LILO realizes that Nani is right)
Lilo: Thanks Nani. I think maybe I should go see Stitch maybe I should teach him about earth myself that's what friends are for maybe that's what he needs. (Lilo leaves the house to go to Rumplestiltskin's castle she knocks on after a couple of minutes Rumplestiltskin finally opens the door.
Lilo: Hey Rumplestiltskin.
Rumplestiltskin: Lilo what are you doing here?
Lilo: Well it's been a while and I thought that maybe I could take over teaching Stitch I appreciate everything You've done but maybe it would for best me to teach more about earth since he knows me.
Rumplestiltskin: Oh well I guess that would be best but-
Nani: Lilo?
(LIlo and Rumplestiltskin turn around to see Nani.)
Lilo: What are you doing here Nani?
Nani: I thought that you might need some support you know with getting Stitch. What are you doing here? (Points to Rumplestiltskin) Do you know who this guy is?
Lilo: Well yeah this is Rumplestiltskin.
Nani: He's the dark one!
Lilo: What?! (Turns to Rumplestiltskin) What have you done with Stitch?
Rumplestiltskin: I've taken back what's mine now leave the both of you!
Lilo: No way! You give Stitch back now! You big dummy!
Rumplestiltskin: I said leave! (He magically blows them away and slams the door shut Lilo and Nani frantically try to get in but the door won't open.)
Lilo: No! What are we gonna do?
Nani: I don't know LILO I don't know how to stand up to the dark one. (LILO is saddened and thinks about Stitch she remembers the last thing she said to him.)
Lilo: We can't give up.
Nani: But Lilo-
Lilo: Ohana means family family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.(Nani looks at Lilo for a minute before nodding her head yes)
Lilo: We need a plan. We have to find another way to get in. (She looks around the castle before seeing the chimney )
Lilo: There that's our way in. But we still don't know where is holding Stitch. (She thinks for a while before Nani remembers Somthing)
Nani: Do you remember mom's old tiki necklace? She said it was magic that it could lead you to your hearts desire.
Lilo: Are you sure it will work?
Nani: It's worth a shot. (They head back to the house and take the tiki necklace. LILO also sees her father's sword and takes it as well they head back to the castle and climb up to the chimney Nani lowers her in with a rope. Lilo carefully looks around the dining room before moving throughout the rooms. She s becoming impatient with the necklace it does not seem to be working. )
Lilo: Come on! I need to work this place is like a maze. (The sword she is carrying suddenly begins to glow she follows around the light which grows stronger. It leads her to a room where she finds a dagger with the name Rumplestiltskin on it.)
Lilo: What? Is this the dark one's dagger?( The sword continues to glow when suddenly the necklace also begins glowing as well. Lilo begins following it arriving at the room Stitch is in. She listens and hears Stitch crying out in pain. She rushes in.)
Lilo: Stop!
Rumplestiltskin: What?
Lilo: Let him go!
Rumplestiltskin: Why do you care about him? He's supposed to be a monster.
Lilo: He's not a monster. He's my friend my Ohana. Don't you know what love is? (Lilo's words have a profound effect on Rumplestiltskin.)
Lilo: Now let him-
Rumplestiltskin: Okay. I'll let him go. (He releases Stitch)
Lilo: (surprised) What? But -
Rumplestiltskin: Just go.
Lilo helps Stitch to his feet.
Lilo: Thank you. (She leaves the dagger behind and leaves. Rumplestiltskin picks up the dagger and sees that she has also left behind the tiki necklace.)
Present. (Henry is taking Stitch back to the grove)
Henry: I know Rumplestiltskin hurt you in the past Stitch but he's changed you'll see.
Stitch: Yeah.
(Stitch is in the grove playing while Henry goes back to collect food for him.)
Rumplestiltskin: Hello Henry. (Henry sees him and is shocked)
Henry: Granpa! What are you doing here.
Rumplestiltskin: Thought I'd do a spot of gardening what are you doing here?
Henry: I was just collecting berries for a school project.
Rumplestiltskin: Henry what are you really doing out here?
( Before Henry can answer they hear a noise from behind a bush.)
Rumplestiltskin: what was that?
Henry : Uh it was nothing. (Rumplestiltskin moves past him. And opens the bush and sees Stitch.)
Rumplestiltskin: Oh my-.
Henry: No! Wait! It's all right! (Rumplestiltskin suddenly grabs him and tries to run with him.
Rumplestiltskin: Run Henry! Run!
(Stitch hears this and sees Rumplestiltskin with Henry. He's thinks he's hurting him. He jumps in front of them blocking their way. Rumplestiltskin tries to run the other way but Stitch jumps in front of him again. Rumplestiltskin throws himself on Henry to protect him.)
Hendy: It's okay. He won't hurt us. (Stitch grabs Runplestiltskin and is about to punch him.)
Henry: No don't hurt him. He's our friend. (Stitch stops and glares at Rumplestiltskin before setting him down. Rumplestiltskin is sitting nervously. Henry has explained everything to him.)
Rumplestiltskin: So you don't know where he came from?
Henry: No. He's like a kid. Look can you help us?
Rumplestiltskin: All right Henry but we need to be careful. But I'll help you. (They both wonder what's going to happen as they look up at the sky.
