Less than an hour passed and Malcolm managed to become consoled as Jumba managed to check his body and everything out for health reasons. He may have been a mad scientist but he was the closest thing to a doctor they've got for the time being. They were in the living room by the time Jumba was done examining Malcolm's physical health and body, both Lilo and Pleakley were at times embracing him in an attempt to console him which got him to stop grieving at the time.
"I checked his entire body for anything broken, cut, twisted, any physical infections, cuts, bruises, scars. Everything about his physical health and his appearance. It's incredible. It's as if he's perfection." Jumba told them. "I've never seen anything like it in humans."
"Naga-takabah!" said Stitch looking amazed.
"That's what a doctor told me once." Malcolm replied.
They all turned to look at him with surprise. Malcolm understood what Stitch said? No other human knows his language. Only aliens understood and knew the Tantalog language but Malcolm was the first human to understand it. More questions popped into their minds like fireworks.
"You understood Stitch just said?" asked Jumba looking shocked to know this.
Malcolm grew silent for a minute as he knew there was some questions to answer. He blushed again.
"How did you know what Stitch said?" asked Lilo curiously.
After a long pause. Malcolm managed to tell them something but it wasn't much.
"I don't know. It just seemed like something was crystal clear." answered Malcolm.
"What about you knowing my name and talking to me through my mind. I didn't even tell you my name when we first met." Lilo asked.
"I don't know. For a long time, there's been a lot of things about me that's weird and I have no idea what it is or what it means. Sometimes I get this weird feeling like something is telling me what to do next and I just do it and strange things happen as a result. I don't know what it is or what it means." Malcolm explained. "Just like how I know who you all are. Dr. Jumba Jookiba from the planet Quelte Quan, formerly the lead scientist of galaxy defense industries but still a scientist, a bit of an evil genius who created hundreds of illegal alien experiments, all having their own function. Wendell "Wendy" Pleakley, from the planet Plorgonar and former member of the Galactic Federation yet you and Jumba still interact with them from time to time, you two can take your disguises off. Residing here in Hawaii with Lilo Pelekai and her older sister Nani, Stitch, one of Jumba's experiments and his best one."
They all looked at him with shock. He knew who Stitch and Lilo are but they all didn't know that he knew who they all really are or that he knew what Stitch really is or that Jumba and Pleakley are both aliens. Jumba's glasses and his wig fell off as he stood there, mouth falling open. Pleakley's wig fell off as he too was shocked with his mouth falling open. Stitch was surprised that Malcolm understood what he said and what he really is. Lilo was surprised that Malcolm knew who she is, even though she didn't tell him her name when they first met or that she has an older sister. They were all figuring it was like Jumba said, he may have telepathic abilities.
"Should I faint and pass out now or should I be FREAKING OUT NOW!" said Pleakley showing panic as he was shaking a bit.
"You usually do all of the above." answered Jumba. "Little boy, do you know how you know who we all are, even though we didn't tell you who we all are at first? Even having the ability to speak to others with your mind?"
"I don't know. I never found out." answered Malcolm looking clueless.
"Wiki Achibaba?" asked Stitch.
"I doubt it. That only happens in the comic books." answered Malcolm.
"Malcolm, do you know where your parents are?" asked Lilo hesitantly.
Malcolm grew silent once again and he looked like he had no idea how to answer her. He let out a sigh as he looked grim.
"I don't know where they are nor do I know who they are." Malcolm sadly told them.
"And where were you residing previously?" asked Pleakley as he tried to calm himself.
They were met with silence again and Malcolm was hesitant at first.
"I'd rather not go back." Malcolm answered.
As they were curious to why he didn't want to go back to where he previously resided. That's when Pleakley felt alarmed by the mentioning of this and that's when the slim bodied male alien wrapped an arm around Malcolm as if to console him.
"Malcolm, did something happen to where you previously resided?" asked Pleakley looking worried.
The stoic expression on Malcolm's face seem to provide an answer or reason for them all or even for someone like Pleakley as he shown stoicism upon his perfectly chiseled face.
"It's not safe." Malcolm finally answered.
Lilo took hold of Malcolm's hand as if to reassure him and he took hold of her hand. It seemed as though he knew he could trust Lilo or that there was no evil in Lilo.
"Maybe he doesn't want to talk about it right now. He's probably had a rough day." Lilo advised.
"I'm with Lilo on this one. I'm just tired right now. But maybe we should talk to Nani about this. She's the one who makes the rules under this roof, right?" Malcolm advised.
They all realized that Nani didn't know anything about this and that she had a right to know about what happened today and about Malcolm's situation. Even Lilo and Stitch knew that it might take some convincing to let Malcolm stay with them.
"We're going to have to talk to my sister about this. But let's hope she doesn't freak out too much." said Lilo hopefully.
"Is she the type who freaks out when crazy news is told to her?" asked Malcolm.
"No! No, no, no!" they all said in unison.
"Nani just worries about my safety is all and she just wants to make sure everyone is alright." Lilo told him.
Malcolm nodded as he understood but he sensed someone was near as he knew that someone has come to the house while he knew who it was before the person approached the house.
"Speaking of Nani. Incoming at twelve o'clock." Malcolm told them with his mind.
They all turned to see the front door open and in came Nani. Nani was looking to be relieved to be home or she looked like she was told good news by someone earlier. The twenty-three year old woman walked in and saw Malcolm sitting on the couch while the others were looking at her as if they had news to tell her.
"Hi Nani!" they all said in unison.
"Guys, whose the visitor?" asked Nani curiously.
"Nani, this is Malcolm." answered Lilo. "It's a long story."
As Nani closed the door and she sat down somewhere nearby. That's when both Lilo and Malcolm told Nani about what happened at the Hula dancing school with the intoxicated armed gunman and the police officers arresting the gunman and that everyone was alright. Jumba and Pleakley were a bit surprised to hear this but Nani was worried about this too as she hugged Lilo, glad to know she was alright along with Stitch, Jumba and Pleakley, even Malcolm.
"I'm glad everyone's alright and I'm glad that Malcolm brought the attention of this to everyone to prevent anyone from getting hurt." said Nani relieved.
"Nani, there's more to tell." said Pleakley blushing. "It's about Malcolm."
Nani shown she was listening to them and she was all ears. They broke the news to her about Malcolm's situation about him not having anywhere to go and no one looking after him, as they told her about him having strange abilities, it was a bit of surprise to her about that but she was also feeling concerned about Malcolm's well-being. She too was having questions coming to mind.
"How did you get here to Hawaii?" asked Nani.
"You could say I flew my way here." answered Malcolm.
"Where have you been staying this whole time you've been in Hawaii?" asked Nani.
"Promise me you won't freak out?" asked Malcolm hopefully.
Lilo looked at Malcolm and nodded to him to reassure him and he seemed to feel a bit more comfortable in telling Nani where he's been.
"I've been staying in an abandoned tree house. It looked like it wasn't abandoned for too long. Been in Hawaii for a month and that's how long I've been in that tree house. As for what I did for food, water, or even to bathe. I would live off fruit from the trees, juices from them to drink something, I used a few coconuts to collect water from the rain. Kind of like a gallon jug to fill up water, sometimes I drank coconut milk. I can see why people love coconuts and coconut milk." Malcolm explained.
"There's no way you should stay in a tree house. Nani, would it be alright if Malcolm stays with us?" Lilo asked.
"El kiyotay." Stitch said looking excited about the idea.
"Lets let her think of this first. It's up to Nani." said Malcolm trying not to rush into things.
"This is a lot to take in. Also, you guys do know that this isn't like caring for a pet." said Nani acknowledging the reality of the situation.
"Mrs. Pelekai, I know this is a lot to take in and you got enough on you as it is. But the last thing I want is to impose on anyone or inconvenience anyone. You make the rules around here and I get it." Malcolm explained as he shown her understood adults don't have it any easier and neither do kids.
Nani was silent and she knew that Malcolm was right that her situation or that how life is for adults like herself or others don't always have easy and kids don't always have it easy ether. But she did see there was some good that came from him when she found out she prevented Lilo, Stitch and others at her Hula dancing school from getting hurt by a drunk gunman and everyone in the house has taken a liking to him.
"You did prevent my sister from getting hurt when you came to her school to warn everyone. And it would be a bad idea for you to be living in that abandoned tree house. Just so you know, if you stay here with us, don't tell anyone about, you know." Nani said.
"He already knows about me, Pleakley and Stitch and anyone we know that are not from Earth." Jumba informed.
"My lips are sealed about that part of your lives." Malcolm reassured as he made a hand sign that looked like he was locking his lips up like a door. "Anything to contribute."
Nani got up from where she sat and she walked over towards Malcolm as she pulled both Lilo and Malcolm in for a hug, both from how glad she is that Lilo is alright and to welcome Malcolm into their ohana.
"Malcolm, mind if I ask something unrelated?" asked Nani curiously.
"Anything." replied Malcolm.
"Where did you go to bathe?" asked Nani.
"At a local fire station. Their showers have their own propane system. I sometimes would imagine I'm showering in a waterfall. I don't know why but I sometimes get a thrill out of exploring a forest or jungle or anything considered those kind of places. I'd even explore a cornfield if I could. It's a weird feeling but I like exploring those kind of regions and there's plenty of forests and jungles around here." Malcolm told them.
They looked at Malcolm as if he just admitted something weird but they seemed to understand about what he said as they've seen, heard or experienced some weird aspects in life.
"Aba goochi bala?" asked Stitch curiously.
"What did Stitch ask?" asked Nani.
"He wanted to know why I seem to like running through forests, jungles or even cornfields. For some reason, exploring those regions seems to feel like some kind of instinct that awakens in me. Like a lion exploring the jungles of Africa." said Malcolm showing excitement about the mentioning of such a thing.
Malcolm sucked in a big amount of air and he let out a loud, powerful and realistic, excited lion like roar that surprised Nani. She had no idea that he could roar like a real lion. That was when the boy stopped and blushed as if embarrassed by his reaction.
"I see someone is part lion." said Nani wide eyed with surprise.
"It's kind of cool he can roar like a lion." Lilo said looking amazed.
"Just out of curiosity. While your staying here. Do you happen to know your last name?" asked Nani.
"My last name is Xanadu." answered Malcolm.
