Spring Break Vacation: Pt.2

Bidding their new friends goodbye, Danny and the others return to the Specter Speeder after grabbing some breakfast. All their stuff packed in, they decide to plan.

"Okay, who has a suggestion of our next visit?" Kim asked everyone. "Since I suggested New York, I guess it's fair someone else speak up."

Everyone was in thought before Rufus started jumping up and down.

"What's up, little buddy?" Ron asks. Rufus makes the motion of eating something and Ron new what he was referring to. "Duh! They finally added Nacos to the Go City Bueno Nacho!" Rufus cheers.

Danny and Danielle both exchanged odd looks.

"You can understand that?" Danielle asked.

"Yeah! Last time we were in Go City, they didn't have Nacos! But now they finally added them! So let's go! This was Rufus suggesting it by the way, I'm just agreeing. Boo-yah!" Ron cheered.

Kim gave Danny a smile, before Danny rolled his eyes away, no doubt remembering how much he did not like the taste of Nacos.

That's when Kim spoke up.

"Why don't we save that one for later? I'm sure Danielle has a suggestion."

Danielle looks a bit uncomfortable, unsure what to say.

"Uh… I don't know. Maybe you pick, Danny."

"Well… Jake told me he had some friends in Hawaii who are cool and would be willing to keep my secret. I think he said they were Lola and her dog, Steve."

Kim and Ron both looked surprised by this.

"You mean Lilo and Stitch?" Kim asked.

"Yeah… why?"

"Dude! We met them!" Ron said.

"Small world, huh?" Kim said with a smile.

"I guess… all in favor of Hawaii?" Danny asked. Everyone raised their hands. "Okay." Danny held up the map. "Infi-Map, take us to Hawaii."

In the state of Hawaii, Kokaua Town was the home of odd little creatures. Few people knew these things weren't unusual animals, but alien experiments.

All thanks to one little girl, Lilo Pelekai, who adopted one such alien as her dog, Stitch.

Long story short, her older sister Nani bought her a dog, said dog was a rampaging psychopath who grew attached to the concept of family and became peaceful, relatively speaking.

All of Stitch's "cousins", all 625 of them, had a place to call home, a place they truly belonged. It's been months since they finished turning all of them good, even experiment 625, Reuben. They were going to celebrate. Lilo took Stitch with her to the market place. As they were getting their grocery list fulfilled, Lilo notices something wrong.

"Peanut butter? Bologna? Didn't we get this a week ago?" She saw Stitch eating some of their groceries before they even bought them. "Oh right… you ate it all again." She said, annoyed with his appetite.

Suddenly, Stitch saw something in the sky and pointed at it. Lilo turned and saw it. A green portal with a metal ship flying out.

"Spaceship?" Stitch asked.

"It looks like… it's landing nearby." Lilo said.

The Specter Speeder lands nearby, parking in front of the shaved ice store.

As they get out, Danielle smiled.

"Sweet! Shaved Ice!"

"Look!" Ron pointed towards the ocean. "The beach! Rufus, let's go!"

Rufus cheered as Ron got out and ran in that direction.

Kim groaned and shook her head before looking at Danielle.

"Can you follow him to make sure he doesn't get himself in more trouble?"

Danielle looked like she was gonna complain when Danny spoke up.

"I'll get you a large."

She shrugged and followed Ron.

"You don't wanna go to the beach?" Kim asks.

"Later, I don't mind some alone time for us." Danny said, something that made Kim smile as they entered the shop.

As Ron makes it to the beach, Danielle caught up to him.

"Ron! You don't even have swim trunks or anything."

"It's cool, the ladies will love to get a look at Ron Stoppable!" He said proudly.

Before Danielle could say anything in protest, she notices something odd.

"Ron… is Hawaii the natural habitat of four armed animals?"

"No." He says, finding her question odd.

"Then what's that?"

Danielle points down to the beach, where a pink-ish bear-like creature, showing a class of people punches that they follow.

They also notice a stand far away, where a small creature in a chef's hat serves fries. Walking past them is what looks like a snake-like red dog and a blue octopus, heading to the stand.

Finally, Danielle sees a girl walking by with a bat-like creature at her side.

Danielle finally speaks up, more than a little confused by what's going on.

"Okay… they're not ghosts, since my ghost sense didn't go off. What are they and why aren't people screaming?"

"Huh… I guess Lilo finished reforming the experiments like she said she would." Ron said as Rufus nodded with "uh-huhs" being squeaked.

Danielle looked at Ron, puzzled.

"You say that like I should know what that means."

Once they got their orders, the found their table and began having their treats.

"So, you said a friend lives her?" Danny asked as he licks his shaved ice.

"Yeah. Wait until you see her and her dog." Kim said.

The door opens, the bell rang. Kim looked and saw who it was and smiled.

"Excuse me." Lilo said, asking the counter as Stitch went in line. "Did you notice the spaceship outside your-" Lilo looked to Danny and Kim's table and smiled. "Kim?"

"Hey, Lilo!" Kim waved to her.

Lilo ran up and spoke to her.

"What are you doing here? Another bad guy?" Lilo asked, fists ready with a smile. "Need help?"

"Oh no, I'm on vacation." Kim them pointed to Danny. "This is my boyfriend, Danny."

Lilo looked at the boy, who smiles and waves at her.

"Hey there."

"Huh, I always tho- Never mind."

Danny and Kim looked puzzled with what she was about to say. In secret, Lilo thought Ron was Kim's boyfriend. Still, she chose to be nice and waved back.

"Mind if Stitch and I sat with you?"

"Sure." Kim said.

Lilo got underneath the table and sat between Danny and Kim. Danny is the only one to notice what happened next. Stitch came jumping on their table and sitting between Lilo and Kim, holding four shaved ices in his hands. He hands one to Lilo as he stuffs one in his mouth. Then, he retracts the bottom set of arms, and the antennae on his head, before stuffing the other cones in his mouth.

Danny, just staring, notices no one else reacting, so he spoke up with what he thinks is happening.

"Kim? I think Jake might have hit me in the head harder than I thought last night."

"I was too busy sparring with Rose to notice, but why do you think that?"

"Because right now it looks like there is a blue koala-dog thing sitting next to you, who had a second pair of arms and antennae just a second ago."

Lilo and Stitch look surprised that he's reacting like the little blue alien is a hallucination. Clearly, Kim hasn't told him yet.

Kim smirked and decided to tell Danny the truth. "While I do think you and Jake got a little too competitive last night, not that I wasn't routing for you, I'm happy to report… you're not seeing things."

Danny got surprised to hear this. "Love of my life say what now?"

"There is in fact a blue koala-dog thing sitting next to me, who had a second pair of arms and antennae just a second ago." Kim said.

"Yeah." Lilo said as Stitch waved at Danny. "Stitch is my dog, and he's an alien."

Danny dropped his shaved ice on the table before what he said next.

"Nooooo waaaayyyyy?!" Danny stretched that, a smile forming on his face as Stitch went from surprised to mildly amused by the boy's reaction. "That thing is real?!" He asks, excitedly.

"Yeah." Lilo said.

"A real alien is your dog?" He asks, once again ecstatic.

"Technically, he's an experiment from outer space, but yeah." Lilo said.

"You're telling me he's a real alien?" Danny wanted to be sure.

"Stitch alien!" Stitch went.

Danny just a stared, his smile not going away.

"Oh yeah, he can talk by the way." Kim said.

"He's excited, isn't he?" Lilo asked.

"It's really cute on him." Kim admitted with a smile.

"Awesome!" Danny chuckled excitedly, having a dorky smile his girlfriend loved seeing on his face. "This is so cool! Hello Stitch, I'm so co- I mean, it is so cool to meet you!" Danny held out his hand.

"Thank you!" Stitch went, shaking with all four hands.

"I've met aliens before… none of them looked like you though." Danny said as their handshake ended.

Danny went on dates with two pretty aliens during the dating service in the summer. He probably would have gone out with one of them had Kim not made such a strong impression for his first blind date. It's still cool for him.

"You have?" Kim questioned.

Danny realized what he said and remembered that he did sort of promised to keep Kara's identity a secret. Starfire, not so much but still.

"You know what kind of life I lead." Danny said without revealing to Kim, or their guests, what he actually meant.

It worked; Kim nodded.

"Where are you from?" Lilo asked.

"Amity Park, on the West Coast." Danny said before going back to talking about Stitch. "Where did he come from?"

"From… space." Lilo said.

"Obviously!" Stitch goes.

"Well, yeah, I know that but… why do you have him? Is he like a Pokémon? Did you catch him or something?"

"Oh no, we bought him at the pound." Lilo said. "His creator and partner came to Earth, they live with us now. And we helped his cousins find a place of their own."

Danny just stared at that one word the little girl said.

"Cousins?"

Suddenly, the door opened, and Danielle came running in, looking excited.

"Danny! This town is full of aliens!" She shouted excitedly before looking at Stitch, who waved at her with a grin. "Alien! AWESOME!" She shouted.

Meanwhile, a figure flies into Hawaii. A figure with a metallic body and green flaming hair. He looked down at Kokaua Town and grinned maliciously.

"Plasmius's partner was correct. A town full of unique monsters… perfect for hunting!"

"So, you met Jake?" Lilo asked as she and Stitched walked to her house, with their visitors following her on foot.

"Yep, and we know his secret." Kim said.

"So, you mentioned cousins?" Danny asked.

"Stitch is Experiment 626! Cousins are the other 625!" Stitch stated.

"Wait until you meet Jumba and Pleakley." Lilo said as they made it to the door. Opening it, the two aliens in question, in their usual Earth outfits, got up from the couch and greeted them.

"Ah, little girl and 626." The chubby one said.

"You brought company!" The skinny one-eyed one said.

Danny and Danielle just stare at the two aliens for a bit longer.

These guys definitely don't look like Kara or Starfire.

"This one is Jumba." Lilo said, pointing to the chubby one. "The other is Pleakley." She pointed to the slimmer one. "They hide themselves as my uncle and aunt."

"Uh… not to be rude but… how?!" Danielle asked.

"Yeah, one of them has four eyes, the other has one and no visible nose. Uh… no offense."

"None taken!" Pleakley said with a smile.

"Wait…" Danielle said, speaking up. "Are you guy? Lilo said one of you is disguised as her aunt."

"We wear disguises." Pleakley says before putting a wig of short brown hair on. "See?"

"You still look like all eye in the face." Danny pointed out.

Taking the wig off, Pleakley looked surprised. "Huh… usually that works around here."

"Anyway…" Lilo speak up. "Has Gantu or Reuben called in? Are they coming?"

"Any moment now, former big Stinkyhead and 625 are coming." Jumba said. The sound some an engine of some kind goes off outside, catching everyone's attention. "Ah, that must be them!"

Danny and Danielle's ghost sense go off. Not only does this surprise them, but Lilo and her family saw this.

"What was that?" Lilo asked as Stitch something likely alien in surprise.

Before Danny could answer, a familiar figure flies in between them and Lilo's family, wearing a special armor he once wore when he and Danny were shrunk.

"I see this is the odd blue one I've been told about!" Skulker said. "I'll add your pelt to my wall!"

He was about to aim a blaster at Stitch when Danny called out.

"Skulker?! What are you doing here?!"

Skulker looked back and saw Danny.

"You? What are you doing here?!"

"I asked you first!" Danny said.

Skulker aimed a blaster at Danny.

"I'll just add your pelt here too, whelp."

Danny looked to Kim, who nodded that it was okay.

Danny then got serious and morphed in front of everyone around. This causes Lilo and her family to gasp.

Danny fires a blast at Skulker, destroying the weapon.

Not wanting to be left out, Danielle transforms as well and flew to kick Skulker in the stomach. This sent him into the ceiling, causing him to fall on the floor. Weakly getting on all fours, Stitch grabs Skulker by the feet.

"Meega nala kweesta!"

Stitch threw Skulker out the window with no real effort.

Danny and Dani look surprised before smiling at the alien.

All three of them came out the window and saw Skulker getting up.

Before anyone could do anything, a voice calls out.

"LILO!" Everyone looked to the car that pulled in, with a young woman and her boyfriend seeing Skulker, not to mention Stitch and the two Phantoms, she called out for her little sister. "What did you do this time?!"

Lilo ran out the door and called out.

"Nothing Nani! We have guests!"

Skulker looked back at his opponents, only for Stitch to jump in front of him. Skulker released blades out of his arm and tried to stab. However, Stitch grabs the blades and quickly picked up and twirled Skulker with ease as he tosses the ghost into the air. Seeing an opening, both Phantoms flew in and punched Skulker down into the ground, creating a crater.

Skulker got up and got angry.

"I'll hang all your pelts on my wall!" He shouted.

This is short lived, as a spaceship lands on him before he could do anything. The ship belonging to a former foe of the Pelekai family.

Out of the back came a little fat yellow Stitch and a large whale-like alien.

"Hey Cuz!" The yellow one says.

"Cousin!" Stitch ran to the yellow one and they high-five.

"Reuben!" Lilo shouted as she hugged him. She then saw the other alien. "Gantu! How was the flight?"

"Eh, same old." Gantu admitted before noticing everyone around, including a few he didn't recognized. "So… new friends?"

After 2 hours of getting people up to speed on their lives, Lilo revealed she got in contact with some of Stitch's cousins and they were all going to barbeque at the beach.

As Ron and Rufus danced with some of the cousins with music playing, Lilo spoke with Danny, Danielle and Kim as the sat together on a blanket.

"I can't believe it… you're Danny Phantom? That is so cool!" Lilo held up a photo she brought of him. "Will you autograph it? I'm a huge fan! I knew you were real!"

Danny smiled and agreed. He took a pen Stitch handed him and signed. Lilo hugged the photo tightly.

Reuben walked up to them holding a plate of sandwiches.

"Grilled cheese, anyone?" He asks.

Danny took one, though he stared at the yellow alien for a moment.

"You know, you kind of sound like my dad with a Brooklyn accent."

"Really? That's fascinating." Reuben said in a tone to suggest he's not really that fascinated. "So, whatcha gonna do with the metal skull guy?"

He pointed to Skulker, who remained in a frozen state on the ground, his arms and legs in an uncomfortable contortion.

"Dunno. Stitch messed with his suit's systems when we got him out. He can't even get out of that thing." Danny said.

Stitch chuckled. After they got Skulker out, he used his super intelligence to mess with the evil hunter, keeping him trapped and unable to move for the next few hours.

Gantu walked up the ghost and glared at him.

"I can drop him off near the mainland… from a few stories in the air."

"I will get out of this!" Skulker shouted. "I will have your heads on my wall!"

"I swear, you sound so familiar." Gantu said, looking at Skulker with some level of familiarity.

Skulker doesn't answer, just rolling his eyes away.

Jumba walked up to Danny, looking at him like any scientist would something fascinating.

"So, you are Phantom Danny? Jumba Jookiba, genius creator of genetic experiments, would like to study you."

Danny looked more than a little uncomfortable before Pleakley walked in and pulled him away.

"Not today, Jumba!"

Gantu then walked up to Danny.

"So, I hear you're strong." He knelt down. "Care to arm wrestle?"

Danny smiled.

Soon, both Danny and Gantu got into an arm wrestling. Unfortunately, due to Danny's ghost form, Gantu is barely able to make his opponent's arm move.

As this was happening, Danielle walked up to Lilo and asked her something.

"So, why are they all called "cousins"?"

"Because in Hawaii, we call everyone cousin. Why?"

"Because… well, you know what I am, right?"

"Yeah, his family."

Danielle smiled before speaking up.

"I mean, his clone pretending to be his cousin."

"Why is that a bad thing? He doesn't have a problem with it, does he?"

"No… but, I do." She says quietly so that only Lilo can hear her.

Lilo looks a little surprised.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm a clone of someone with a loving family by an evil jerk… and yet he's kind of been my only real family until recently. His sister likes me, but his parents don't even know I exist. Sometimes, I'm not even sure where I belong in this world."

Danielle can't help but think back to something Trixie and Spud say.

FLASHBACK

As Danielle was getting ready for dinner, Trixie and Spud sit next to her on the couch.

"So, you're a clone? That's cool." Spud said.

"Uh... sure?" Danielle said.

"Gotta admit, I expected you two to be brother and sister, since you seem closer to that." Trixie admitted.

"But I guess not living with a mom and dad has some advantages." Spud added.

"Yeah…" Danielle said sadly.

Both teens realize they accidentally made her feel sad.

"Whoa! Our bad!" Trixie went, holding her hands up defensively.

"We didn't mean to make you feel down!" Spud went.

Danielle nodded, though their words still lingered.

FLASHBACK ENDS

Danielle looked down, but Lilo snapped her out of it with a hand to her arm.

"You know…" Lilo said. "While we were looking for the experiments, my job was to find the one place each of them belongs. I think I can find yours."

"Really?" Danielle asked.

"To be honest, I think you already found it." Lilo looked to Danny, who finally made a move and won against Gantu with ease, something that made their spectators cheer.

Danielle smiled a bit.

"Thanks, but his parents don't know I exist." Danielle admitted.

"Well, if they're a good family like you say they are, they might love you." Lilo admitted.

This got in Danielle's head.

She smiled.

"Thanks Lilo, I'll try and bring it up with Danny."

Lilo nodded.

"So, wanna try Frenchfry's cooking?"

"Sure. I love me food!" Danielle said with some interest.

Danny and Kim got up together and walked across the beach, near the water. They're barefoot and Kim is now wearing a hula skirt. They hold hands.

"This was a great stop, wasn't it?" Danny said.

"You having a cute reaction to aliens and another opportunity to kick Skulker's butt? Absolutely." Kim admitted.

Both of them laugh and share a kiss as they kept walking together.

As they did, they see Nani and her boyfriend, David, walking to them.

"So, I hear you're a superhero back home?" David asks Danny, who nods. "Nice. You surf?"

"A bit inexperienced, but I'm getting there."

"Wanna try?" David asked.

Danny looked to Kim, who nodded in approval.

"Sure."

And so, after some surfing, more burgers and time with his girlfriend, Danny decided they had to find a place to stay for the night. The excitement made them forget about that. However, help arrived.

"Jumba has spaceship he and Pleakley, disguised as very ugly wife, used to come to Earth. Phantom Danny, Possible Kim and friends can sleep in there. JUST STAY OUT OF JUMBA'S LAB!"

"Uh… thanks." Danny said.

As the vacationers went to the ship, Lilo walked up to them with Stitch.

"Good night! Before you leave, we should at least have breakfast together! You love mornings with our ohana!"

Danny looked back.

"Ohana?"

"It means family."

Danny smiled.

"Sure, my girlfriend, my friends and my ohana will be happy to."

Danielle smiled at this, hearing him call her family is such a way.

Stitch walked up to Danny and the two shook hands again.

"Night!" Stitch said.

"Night." Danny answered.

And so, their Tuesday night came to an end.

How's that for a trip to Hawaii?

Danny almost let it out he's dated aliens. Good thing too. True, he can trust Kim with his secrets, with one in particular he's told her he's withholding due to it being a terrible experience, but nothing on his dates. She respects this.

I wanted to write more and get more Lilo's usual cookiness, but I think making her a fan for a ghostly superhero is in character.

Next time, out heroes make a visit to... Wizville!
