It was morning everything felt at ease since Nani let Malcolm live with them in their house as they had a talk about it and given the circumstances about Malcolm having nowhere to go and no one watching out for him, it was best he stayed with Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley and Nani since being on the street was like a death sentence to anyone. Lilo and Stitch did convince Nani to let Malcolm stay with them which Malcolm felt grateful for.
It was morning and everyone was waking up to a good restful sleep they had. It was already some time after ten in the morning and Nani had already gone to work as Lilo, Stitch, Jumba and Pleakley were awake. Malcolm was sleeping on the couch for now as Lilo, Stitch, Jumba and Pleakley were already awake as they were in the kitchen.
"How did everyone sleep?" Pleakley said warmly.
They all sniffed the air and they smelt a stinky odor. This caused them to wave their hands in front of their noses and their heads shook from the scent.
"Did someone cook something that's gone bad?" asked Lilo her nose twitching.
"Stinky." said Stitch in English.
"That was probably me. Dinner last night left me with a bad case of gas. Don't worry, I aired out the bathroom and cleaned up afterwards." Jumba confessed blushing.
They they shook in the body from disgust as if knowing that something they ate made one of them fart for a while. But they brushed it off as they looked to see that Malcolm wasn't in the kitchen.
"Ishi waka Malcolm yetata?" asked Stitch shrugging his shoulders.
They heard what sounded like a low vocal rumbling sound coming from the living room. They knew the only person in the living room was Malcolm and as they walked from the kitchen to the living room. There, they saw that Malcolm was still asleep on the couch. He was peacefully asleep and the low vocal rumbling sounds came from him, it sounded like a lion's low yet loud vocal rumbling as if it were a real lion sleeping in the house. As he breathed in and out slowly and peacefully, that's when Jumba, Lilo and Stitch were surprised this was how he sleeps, mostly from the sounds but they weren't bothered by it. Pleakley on the other hand was smiling, blushing and giggling a bit.
"He's kind of cute when he's asleep." said Pleakley chuckling.
"I wonder if Nani saying he's part lion was not a joke and was onto something." said Lilo starting to smile. "Although him roaring like a lion is kind of cool."
"Whose going to wake him?" Jumba chimed in with a grin.
They all looked at one another and knew they had an answer to the question immediately.
"Not it!" everyone but Pleakley said in unison.
"Oh come on!" said Pleakley annoyed. "What are you guys afraid of. This is probably just how he snores or breathes during his sleep."
"I need to look into this boy some time. He's not like any other human child I've ever met but he's quite an interesting human nonetheless. I wonder if something about his health could lead to some interesting experiment." said Jumba getting ideas with a sly grin.
Pleakley and Lilo looked at Jumba with a look of warning as if the idea of Jumba doing an experiment on Malcolm or examining him for experimental purposes was a bad idea.
"Don't even think it, mister!" said Pleakley sharply.
Jumba was wide eyed but laughed a bit as if they misunderstood what he meant.
"I meant taking a DNA sample and studying it for health reasons. What? You thought I'd experiment on him? What kind of evil genius do you think I am?" chuckled Jumba.
"Well, you did make an experiment after Stitch." Pleakley argued.
"Alright, so one experiment was a bad idea. What do you expect from an evil genius?" argued Jumba.
Their argument was interrupted as they heard a loud, lion like yawn as they turned to see that Malcolm was letting out a lion like rumbling from his voice as he let out a long yawn and this meant he was awaken as their conversation seem to stir him. His eyes blinked a few times and his vision cleared as he awoke and risen up from where he lays. He turned to face them as his legs met the floor.
"We're you guys watching me sleep?" asked Malcolm curiously.
"Uhhhhh no!" they all said awkwardly in unison.
"In the jungle, the mighty jungle. The lion sleeps tonight." said Lilo in a jokingly sing song voice followed by a chuckle. "How'd you sleep?"
"What time is it?" Malcolm asked.
"It's after ten in the morning." answered Lilo.
Malcolm was surprised to hear he slept till that mentioned time as if he never done that before.
"That's odd, I actually slept peacefully for twelve hours. I never slept in before or slept as long as I wanted for that matter." Malcolm stated.
They were all a bit surprised that he slept that long or never got to sleep in for a longer period of time before. They figured that he must've had to wake up earlier in the morning for some reason but this would be his first time in getting to sleep longer.
"Twelve hours?" Pleakley said looking like this was new to him. "I'm normally not much on sleeping that long but you must've been tuckered out."
"Like an adult who just got off work on a Friday." Malcolm replied.
Pleakley let out a whistle as if reacting to how spot on Malcolm's words were.
"With that muscular body, that perfectly chiseled face, all that beautiful hair. You must've had a lot of girls noticing you." Pleakley complimented with a grin.
Malcolm blushed at the compliment but he wasn't bothered by it.
"I've gotten a lot of people noticing my appearance and yet I never knew how I got this appearance." said Malcolm.
There was a pause at his words. They normally expected him to have those physical features from exercising, dieting and being active but he looked clueless about how he got the appearance he possesses.
"Didn't you do the usual? Diet and exercise and being active?" asked Jumba curiously.
"Actually, no. I may have eaten the right foods and drank plenty of water and didn't laze about but I've always looked like this my whole life and I never knew why. Full head of hair, healthy body type and appearance, chiseled face. I didn't do the usual things to get this, I remember someone telling me that I was like this around age five or six, it was like I was born this way." Malcolm explained as if he didn't understand.
They were all thinking the same thing. If Malcolm was like this at a very young age years ago, than could this mean he was born this way because he was lucky or was it because he came from a long line of people that had this sort of thing with their bodies, appearances and health like it was heredity and genes. It's like someone who has this if they were from another world.
"Aki shiga ya bala wiki ya frella frella?" asked Stitch looking curious.
"I wish I knew, Stitch. Your guess is as good as anyone's." Malcolm answered.
"Agaja." said Stitch in agreement.
Malcolm was about to say more but he felt the urge to go use the bathroom rising which he got up and ran towards the bathroom at a speed faster than a human could run. They were surprised he could run so fast for someone his age or for a human for that matter.
"E hoʻi ana au! Lua!" Malcolm called.
"Wow! When you got to go, you got to go." Jumba stated.
"Maybe some time later. Me and Stitch could show him around town." Lilo suggested. "There's some places around here he's probably never got to explore."
"Lilo, if you and Stitch do that, make sure Stitch can keep both of you safe and two, make sure Malcolm doesn't wander off. I'm usually not too keen on you going off anywhere alone but if Stitch is with you, than at least Stitch can keep you safe." Pleakley advised.
"You got it." Lilo said.
"And try to avoid any trouble." Pleakley advised.
Lilo and Stitch looked at one another as if knowing that avoiding trouble was like trying to avoid seeing cars on the road. There's no avoiding such a thing.
"I probably can't make that promise." said Lilo blushing.
"Emba-chua." chuckled Stitch.
Jumba burst out laughing about what was said as if knowing that you can't avoid chaos and since his genetic experiments caused some chaos before they were rehabilitated, he knew that being an evil genius had it's bit of dark humor. Pleakley let out a sigh.
"That can't be good." said Pleakley.
