~{Hilda and Stitch: Season 1 Finale Part 2-Episode 10: The House in the Woods}~

~[Hilda and the others]~

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Pleakley and David screamed panickedly while running across the forest as a freaked-looking Frida could be seen rocking back and forth near a large rock in a fetal position with her hair being frizzled as a frantic Jumba was trying to dig into his pockets to find something and a deadpanned Hilda and Stitch could be seen leaning against a tree with their arms crossed as they had bored expressions on their faces.

"We're stuck in the forest, miles, and miles, and miles away from Trollberg. We have no supplies, no food, no water, and we have no idea how to get back home. We're going to die. We're going to die." Frida says fearfully with a traumatized expression on her face as she whimpered.

"Come on...come on...come on, where is it?" Jumba asked with an irritated glare while sticking out his tongue as he struggled to find the object that he was looking for.

"WHAT DO WE DO?! WHAT DO WE DO!? WHAT DO WE DO?!" A pair of alarmed David and Pleakley asked with dreadful expressions on their faces as they continued running around the woods aimlessly, and, after watching their friends panicking and freaking out a bit, Hilda and Stitch decided that they had seen enough as 626 reached up to grab the tree behind them and ripped it out of the floor as he proceeds to slam it down into the ground, producing a mild shockwave that startled everyone from their antics as they turned to them.

"Alright, everyone, calm down! There's no reason to freak out!"

"No reason to freak out?! NO REASON TO FREAK OUT!? WE'RE STUCK IN A FOREST AND HAVE NO WAY TO GET BACK HOME! WHY WOULDN'T WE PANIC?!" Pleakley snapped while running over to grab Hilda's shoulders as he shook her around for a bit.

"Because we're not that far away from home! Just look!" Hilda screamed while pointing up as the gang saw a pack of Woffs fly above them, shocking the amazed group as a stunned Pleakley lets go of Hilda. "And, what's more, you see those trees over there? Those are Iron Pines, big ones too, which means that we're in the Trollberg Forest."

"Ih, we safe. City near." Stitch says with a nod as Frida frowned and got up from the floor as she walked over to the group with David following after her.

"Okay, but how are we going to get home, anyway? We have no idea where we are."

"Yeah, isn't that fun?" Hilda asked with a cheerful smile as Frida, David, and Pleakley stared at her in pure disbelief as they were about to speak up but stopped as Jumba suddenly cheered.

"Aha, yes! Jumba found it!" Jumba shouted, causing everyone to turn to him as they saw the Former Evil Genius holding up his Spaceship's Keys.

"Wait, is that-,"

"Yep, you're right, One Eyed Noodle. These are the keys for our ship." Jumba says, causing Pleakley to smile in relief and beamed as Hilda and the others turned to him with raised eyebrows.

"Uh, okay, that's good and all, but how is that going to help us since we don't know where we are and can't find your Spaceship?" David asked incredulously as Pleakley turned to him with a reassuring look on his face.

"Well, you see, David, Jumba, and I had recently built-in an Auto-Pilot Function into the ship."

"This means that if Jumba presses this button, our Spaceship will automatically turn itself on and fly towards our location," Jumba says with a smug grin as Hilda and the others gasped at what he said in shock before smiling widely as they cheered.

"Yes! Home Sweet Home, here we come!" Frida cheered as Jumba winked at her and pressed a button on his keys...but nothing happened as he blinked in surprise and frantically continued pressing the button, only for nothing to still happened as he gulped.

"Uh oh..."

"Uh oh? What do you mean 'Uh oh'? Why did you say 'Uh oh'?" Pleakley asked worriedly with the rest of the group matching his expression as Jumba turned to his friends with a tense smile on his face.

"Okay, good news and bad news. The Good news is that the Auto Pilot Function Works. The Bad news is that we seem to be out of range of the Spaceship's frequency level, so unless we get close to the ship, we will be unable to summon it."

"What?!"

"Oh, man!"

"I knew that we should've gotten the Premium Package instead of the cheap one!" Frida, David, and Pleakley complained as Hilda clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.

"Guys, seriously, there's no reason to worry. Since we're in Trollberg Forest, all we have to do is walk around and try to find the city." Hilda explained as if it was really that simple as Frida suddenly beamed and snapped her fingers in realization.

"Oh, duh! How could we forget that you used to live in the Woods?! You can just simply get a bearing on your environment and guide us back to the city!" Frida shouted, getting everyone excited as Pleakley turned to Hilda hopefully.

"Yeah, so Hilda, lead the way."

"Oh, I don't know where we are at all," Hilda answered bluntly as everyone stared at her in deep shock and disbelief.

"W-What?! How could you not know where we are!? I thought you said you lived in the woods your whole life?!" A heavily confused David asked as Hilda simply shrugged while placing her hands on her hips.

"Yeah, I did, but here's the thing, I never really ventured this far deep into the forest before. Sure, I did once or twice with Mum and Dad, but that was a long time ago, so I don't know the directions to Trollberg." Hilda says as everyone blinked a couple of times before groaning as their shoulders slump.

"So, it's official, we're going to die..." Jumba mumbled with a pout as Stitch rolled his eyes and scoffed.

"Mukio leketa muyio pop wekum huyu lala fuki pus mito."

"Yeah, Stitch is right. All of you have to stop whining and try to make the best of this situation. I mean, let's just take a moment to enjoy the peace and tranquility around us. You don't exactly get this in the city, huh?" Hilda asked while closing her eyes and taking a deep breath to enjoy the beauty of nature around her.

"Uh, need I remind you that if we don't get back to Trollberg soon, we will get in trouble with our Parents," Frida says blankly as Hilda opened her eyes and gasped sharply as she rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly.

"Oh, yeah, you're right. Plus, the others probably don't know where we are and are most likely pretty worried about us, so Stitch? Toss me." Hilda says while closing her eyes again and holding out her arms as Stitch was quick to walk over to grab the Blue-Haired Girl by her armpits and tossed her up into the air with his Super Strength as Experiment 626 then jumped up after her, and we see the Duo soaring through the air as they reached to the top of a nearby pine tree and latched onto it as the Adventurous Duo looked around, trying to catch a glimpse of the city of Trollberg, only to see nothing but mountains and trees for miles upon miles on end as they shared a concerned frown.

"Bad news, no city in sight!" Stitch yelled down at the group, disappointing them as Pleakley suddenly perks up and turned to Frida and David.

"Wait, kids, aren't you Sparrow Scouts? Weren't there any badges that taught you guys how to survive in the wilderness?"

"Actually, yes, there are! Including a badge on how to navigate yourself back to the city in case you get lost!" A smiling Frida says just as Hilda and Stitch dropped down onto the ground with the Blue-Haired-Girl riding around on the Furry Alien's back as Stitch used his arms to grab onto Hilda and prevented her from falling off his back as the Know It All-Bookworm walked ahead and scanned the area around her as she smirked at the sight of some moss on a nearby tree. "Yes, some moss! Perfect! It always grows on the North Side and indicates where the nearest city is, so to go back home, we have to go this way." Frida says while pointing ahead as she was about to say something else but then yelped in surprise as the moss turned out to be some kind of giant bug and crawled away as David and Pleakley screamed like little girls at the sight of the huge insect as the Brown-Haired Boy leaped into his best friend's arms while the Octopus-Like Alien jumped into the Evil Genius's arms as they trembled in fear and Frida and Jumba sweatdropped awkwardly at this as Hilda and Stitch giggled amusedly.

~[Logan and the others]~

"Did you guys find anything?" A worried Logan asked as we cue over to the Mountain Top from where the Trollberg Weather Station used to be and zoom down from the mountain as we see Logan and the others searching for their Friends through the wreckage of Victoria's Old Home/Laboratory as Logan and Marcus used their Shapeshifting Powers to change back into their normal clothes.

"Nothing yet, Pops," Marcus says while checking behind a broken server.

"Aye, I got nothing as well," Astrid says while riding around on Ivy as they were searching through objects that were big enough for them to lift together.

"Damn it, they must be out here somewhere." Logan cursed with a glare just as Daemon and Nero appeared on the scene as they flew through the air and landed beside the group as everyone turned to him. "Oh, good, you guys are back. Were you able to catch a glimpse of Hilda and the others?" Logan asked hopefully, only to frown in disappointment as Daemon shakes his head while retracting his wings.

"Well, I have some Bad News and some Good News. The Bad News is that Nero and I weren't able to find a single trace of Hilda and her friends, but the Good News is that Nero and I weren't able to find a single trace of Hilda and her friends." Daemon says, confusing the group as they stared at him oddly.

"Uh, I'm sorry, but in the Demon Ream, are Good and Bad News different from here?" A bewildered Marcus asked as Astrid nodded with a glare.

"Aye, how is not finding a trace of our comrades a good thing?" Astrid asked as Logan thought carefully about what the Demon Boy said, and his eyes widened in realization as he gasped.

"It is because it means that Hilda and the others are still alive!"

"Exactly, Sir, you see, gang, if Madam and her Friends were really in that Weather Station when it crashed down into the hill and...perished...Nero and I would've been able to find their...remains around this area, but we didn't, which means that our friends are possibly alive." Daemon says with a hesitating frown as he didn't like the thought of his new friends dying and such. "Besides, if the gang were really back at the Weather Station when it crashed down, Stitch would've survived that fall easily, and we would've found him by now."

"Hey, that is true! Which means that Hilda and the others really are alive!" An exhilarated Marcus exclaimed as Astrid stroked her chin thoughtfully.

"But now, the question is, where are they?"

"How about we regroup back at the apartment and try to figure that out? Besides, Joanna and Roland are probably back home by now, so we need to hustle and inform them of what's going on." Logan says while placing his hands on his hips as Daemon nods.

"Indeed. Nero? Fly us to Hilda's Apartment." Daemon ordered as Nero nodded and swiftly created a purple energy shield around the group as they instantly took off into the air and headed straight towards the City of Trollberg.

~[Hilda and the others]~

"I can't believe that we have to resort to just walking around aimlessly with no plan whatsoever," Frida says with an annoyed glare as we see her and the others marching through the Trollberg Forest with no destination in mind as Hilda and Stitch had taken lead, and the whole gang ditched their Winter Clothing earlier and were back to wearing their Casual Clothing, thanks to Pleakley being able to bring along his duffel bag filled with backup clothes as, when Hilda asked why he had that, a smug-looking Pleakley says that you must always be ready to dress for success.

"Well, it's either this or stand around and do nothing."

"But if we just walk around recklessly, we can get ourselves even more lost." David pointed out with a frown as Hilda turned to smirk at him.

"And that's what's so fun about it. Whenever I go out adventuring, I always get lost, and I love that part because it allows me to explore the unknown parts of the Forest." Hilda stated cheerfully as Jumba stared at her concernedly.

"Yes, but Jumba needs to remind Blue-Haired Little Girl that if we continue being lost in this forest, we will never get back home," Jumba says, causing Hilda to purse her lips as she sighs heavily.

"Yeah, I guess you're right, but don't worry, since I lived here all my life, I've met a lot of Magical Creatures, so if I run into one, I'm sure they can help us out with directions back to Trollberg," Hilda says optimistically as Frida rolled her eyes at this and scoffed.

"Oh, please, as if that would happen." A sarcastic Frida grumbles while crossing her arms. "Come on, Hilda, this isn't like a cheap adventure movie. There's no way that we will be able to just stumble upon one of your Magical Friends this far out into the forest out of nowhere."

"Oh, mokota! Woodman! (Oh, look! Woodman!)," Stitch suddenly yelled while pointing left as everyone turned their heads, and Hilda beamed excitedly as she spotted Woodman sitting on the ground and leaning against a small rock as he wasn't facing the group due to being turned around.

"Oh, Woodman!" Hilda exclaimed while running over to him as Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley did the same as Frida stared at this scene in dumbfounded shock before facepalming with a heavy sigh as David patted her back to comfort her. "Thank goodness you are here. We need your help, but first, what are you doing out here all alone?"

"..."

"Uh, Woodman?" Hilda asked with a raised eyebrow, after noticing how silent he was as Stitch walked over to tap his head a couple of times before turning to his friend.

"Stitch thinks Woodman is dead."

"Dead inside, yeah, but not on the outside." Woodman suddenly says while turning his head around at a 360 angle to face the group directly as Hilda and the others were a bit startled by that act. "...Man, you are just as ugly as I remembered." Woodman insulted Stitch bluntly, causing him to growl at him angrily as he huffed.

"And you're just as mean as ever."

"Oh, so you can speak English more clearly now, huh? Joy." Woodman says sarcastically before turning to Hilda. "Also, I'm not exactly alone, so please don't interrupt," Woodman says while turning his head around as Hilda and the others were surprised to see that Woodman was playing a game of Poker with a group of Elves. "Barch reads faces, and I'm trying very hard not to give anything away."

"Uh, Jumba thinks you won't have a problem with that," Jumba says with a massive sweatdropped on his head as, while he and Pleakley didn't formally meet Woodman, they did catch a glimpse of him before they moved to Trollberg and Hilda and Stitch had explained their experiences with him. Short answer, it was not very good, all things considered.

"Okay, so a Talking Tree is playing Poker with a bunch of Elves who are invisible to people unless they sign a contract...I can see your point about not being desensitized to weird supernatural things yet, even though we hang around with Hilda and Stitch for a rather long time now." David whispered to Frida while they made their way over to the group as Woodman suddenly whirled his head around at a 360 angle again to glare at him.

"First off, I'm not a Talking Tree. I'm a Wood Folk. Second, I'm not playing Poker. I'm playing Strip Poker, and, as you can see, I'm losing badly." Woodman says while gesturing at his 'naked' body and at the Fully Clothed Elves as the group shared odd looks. "Third, who are you?" Woodman asked while tilting his floating head confusedly as Hilda was eager to introduce her old and new friends to each other.

"Oh, Woodman. These are the Friends that I've made in Trollberg. There names are Frida and David. Guys? This is Woodman, my Old Neighbor, and Friend." Hilda says with Frida and David awkwardly waving at Woodman, who seemed to be surprised as he turned to Hilda.

"Wait...you have friends?"

"Yes."

"No, no, I mean, like real-life friends? And not just people you make up in your imagination to fill up the loneliness in your heart due to being alone without friends your whole life?" Woodman asked bluntly, causing Hilda to visibly flinch, and lowered her head with a pout as a storm cloud appeared above her head.

"Y-Yeah, that," Hilda says sadly with the others looking anxious at this as Stitch patted her back to comfort her and turned to Woodman.

"Grrr, looka, Woodman, ew deed yoouga ot glouve su dederio kaka ot Trollberg, os rea yuuga glouva hepe ro waz? (Grrr, look, Woodman, we need you to give us directions back to Trollberg, so are you going to help us or what?),"

"Or what? Preferably because, as you can see, I'm too busy to help you guys get back to Trollberg, and, even if I wanted to, I don't want to. Find your own way back home." Woodman says rudely before going back to play his game as the group glared at this in annoyance.

"Wow, what a little jerk. Little Monster is right. He is mean." Pleakley says with a glare while crossing his arms as Hilda turned to give him a sheepish look.

"Yeah, sorry about that. Woodman is a bit grouchy, rude, inconsiderate, mean, and...no, that's about it, but he can help us, just let me talk to him," Hilda says as the group frowned but nodded as Hilda made her way over to sit beside a concentrated Woodman. "Look, Woodman, all we need from you is to tell us the directions on how to get back to Trollberg, and we'll be out of your hair in no time, don't worry."

"Hilda, you know I hate socializing with people, so why are you talking to me? Besides, you made me lose a hand." Woodman says with a pout while placing his cards on the table as all of the other Elves did the same, and one of the grinning Elves grabbed his winning chips and then reached out to grab the cards as he started shuffling them.

"Ugh, this is asinine," Frida mumbled while rubbing her temples to soothe her headache as Woodman heard her and chuckled as he turned back to Hilda.

"Man, that girl sure is eager to leave the Woods, huh? Like a certain Blue-Haired Girl that I know, right, City Girl?"

"W-What-City Girl?! Who are you calling a City Girl!?" Hilda asked with a scowl, looking offended as, while she doesn't mind living in the city now, that doesn't mean she takes kindly to people calling her a City Girl.

"I'm just saying that ever since you left for Trollberg, you haven't been around these parts in a really long time. Nearly a whole year, in fact. It seems that a certain someone is getting rather cozy in the City Life."

"Grrr, hey! That's not true! Hilda and Stitch visited the Forest three days ago!" Stitch yelled, defending Hilda as Woodman rolled his eyes at this and scoffed.

"Oh, wow, you both visited the Forest only once in the last ten months you've been gone. Bravo." Woodman says sarcastically as a fed up Hilda decided that she had enough and reached over to grab Woodman by his nonexistent neck as she forcibly turned him to face her angry eyes directly.

"Okay, listen here, you little rude Twig! First, I am NOT a City Girl! Second, I wasn't able to visit the Forest a lot because I was busy with my new life in Trollberg! Third, the reason that we want to go back to Trollberg right now is because our Parents and Friends are worried sick about us right now, and we need to go back and reassure them that we're okay, so unless you want to help me out like the good friend that you should be, we will take our leave and find help elsewhere!" Hilda shouted with a stern glare, mentally telling him that she wasn't in the mood to play their little mind games as Woodman sighs heavily and shakes his head just as the Elves started handing out the cards again as he reached down to grab his cards.

"Alright, alright, fine, look, I will help you all get back to Trollberg," Woodman says as a satisfied Hilda lets go of him, and the Wood Folk adjusted his floating head with a glare as he wonders when Hilda got so abrasive all of a sudden. "As soon as I'm back at the top again...it may be a while," Woodman says blankly as Hilda and the others groaned with Stitch and the others going over to sit beside Hilda and Woodman.

"Great, so now we need to wait until Woodman finishes his game of Poker."

"Strip Poker."

"Whatever," Frida says with a pout while placing her hand on her cheek as Hilda sighs heavily.

"I wish there was a way to tell our parents that we're okay."

"Hey, uh, Humans and...Aliens, right?" One of the Elves asked after standing up from the table as he walked over to the group. "If you're really worried, we could send your Mum an email."

"Wait, email?" A puzzled Pleakley asked as Jumba suddenly ran over at the speed of light with an eager look on his face.

"Wait, you guys have internet out here in these parts?" Jumba asked hopefully, only to frown as the Elf shakes his head.

"Oh, sorry, but no. I meant to say Elf Mail. It's a relay system of Elf Couriers."

"Ooh, does this system goes all the way to Trollberg?!" Hilda asked enthusiastically as the Elf winced and gave her an apologetic look.

"Oh, uh, no, unfortunately. It only goes up to the Nothern Counties." The Elf says as the group groaned in disappointment/anger at this. "Sorry for getting your hopes up for nothing, lads. It's just that no Elf has set foot on Trollberg yet, so we haven't set up a mailing system that can reach the city since it's free of Elves...well, except for that one Elf." The Elf says curiously, causing Stitch to beam as he gasps in realization.

"Wait, isn't Alfur visiting the Nothern Counties right now? Why can't we deliver the letter to him, and then he can deliver the letter to Joanna for us?"

"Hey...that's a great idea, 626! In fact, I have an idea as well!" Jumba says with an arrogant smirk while reaching into his pocket to pull out his Spaceship's keys. "Why don't we have our little friend here mail the keys alongside the letter, and we can leave a detailed explanation to the others on how to use the Ship's Tracker to track down Stitch's Power Cell Signal and, that way, they'll be able to fly over and come and get us?"

"Oh, that's a brilliant idea, Jumba!" A gleeful Hilda says as Frida, David, and Pleakley perked up and cheered at the plan as they shared high fives. "But, wait, do any of our family and friends even know how to fly the ship?"

"Oh, yes, Blue-Haired Girl."

"Wait, they do?!" A shocked Hilda asked as Pleakley nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, Roland and Logan were curious to learn on how to fly the Spaceship, and we agreed to have Joanna learn as well," Pleakley explained as Hilda blinked a couple of times before pouting hard as she crossed her arms.

"No fair. I asked my Mum to let me learn on how to fly your Spaceship and she said no, but she's allowed to do it? That bites." Hilda grumbles angrily as Frida and David patted her back to comfort her.

"Hold on, youga tracked meega, how?!" A bewildered, surprised Stitch asked as Jumba turned to raise an eyebrow at him.

"As I said before, my Ship's Trackers were able to track you down by your Power Cell inside of your body. I mean, how else do you think Pleakley and Jumba were able to find you when we first got here?" Jumba asked rhetorically as, while the Galactic Federation was able to figure out that Stitch was heading to Earth, it was only because of the tracker in his stolen Police Cruiser. When it was destroyed, the tracker broke apart as well, so Jumba and Pleakley were forced to use the Ship's Trackers to locate Experiment 626 by his unique Power Cell Signal.

"So, do you guys want me to send your mail and package, eh?" The Elf asked with a smirk as Hilda and the others nodded with equal smirks on their faces.

"Yes, please," Hilda says as the Elf nods and reached into his pocket to pull out a tiny piece of paper as well as a pen.

"Here you go. Official Elf Mail Stationery." The Elf says while handing the paper and the pen over to Hilda, who handed them to Stitch as he was able to use his Microscopic Vision and his small hands to begin writing on the piece of paper with Hilda and the others dictating on what they want him to write about as, once Stitch was done, he and Jumba handed the piece of paper and the Ship's keys over to the Elf. "Alright, then, I'll email your letter and package as soon as possible." The Elf says while pocketing the piece of paper as he reached over to grab Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship Keys and grunted as the Elf began dragging them away.

"Wow, I can't believe our luck." A surprised yet happy Frida says as David nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, maybe this day is turning out all right."

"He, he, indeed. We will be able to go home soon. We will be able to go home soon." Pleakley says with a sing-songy voice while dancing around as Jumba rolled his eyes at his antics, and Hilda giggles amusedly as she then turned to Woodman, who has been quietly playing his game with the other Elves this whole time.

"Well, good news, Woodman. We've found a way to go back home, so we don't need your help anymore-,"

"Aw, man! I just lost something valuable!" Woodman cursed while lowering his head in defeat as Hilda and the others blinked at him confusedly.

"Really? What?"

"You..." Woodman says while looking at Hilda as he then turned to the others. "And you...and you...and you...and you...and you," Woodman says while pointing at Stitch, Frida, David, Jumba, and Pleakley as the Group shared a disbelieving look.

"Wait a minute, you bet us in a game of Elf Poker?" A shocked David asked.

"No...I bet you all in an Elf Strip Poker Game." Woodman clarified as Frida, David, Jumba, and Pleakley looked nervous by what he said while Hilda and Stitch couldn't help but to snort as they laughed.

"Ha, ha, that is so hilarious! Alright, boys, take us away! We're all yours!" Hilda says with an amused grin while spreading out her arms as Stitch did the same.

"Oh, not them. Him." Woodman says bluntly while pointing ahead as the Gang turned around...and their eyes widened in pure shock as they spotted a 50-feet-tall furry blue Forest Giant with a human-like face/hands/feet and white eyes as well as two small white/blue antlers/ears.

"CHEESE IT!" Hilda screamed panickedly while leaping onto Stitch's back just as he got down on all fours as he ran ahead with Frida and the others following after them as they tried to escape from the menacing semi-giant, but failed as the Forest Giant leans down and reaches out to grab them all in his grip.

"Oh, so typical! Humans and Aliens always overlook us Forest Giants just because we're on the smaller side! The Galactic Federation didn't even bother to take us Forest Giants into space like the other Giants!" The Forest Giant shouted insecurely as a shaking Pleakley gulped.

"W-Well, to be fair, when we asked if you want to come, you refused so-,"

"DON'T TRY TO BE NICE TO HIM! HE'S KIDNAPPING US!" Frida snapped while she and the others struggled to break free from the Forest Giant's grip as a grunting Hilda turned over to look down at an unfazed Woodman.

"WOODMAN! HELP US!"

"Sorry! He won fair and square!"

"WHAT?! OH, YOU STUPID LITTLE TWIG! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, I WILL SNAP YOU IN HALF!" Hilda screamed furiously with her face growing red as the group, including Woodman, was surprised by her outburst but didn't have time to comment on it as the Forest Giant turned around and started walking away.

~[Logan and the others]~

"Ugh...why...is...this...thing...so...heavy?!" The Elf asked in frustration and confusion as we see him walking through the Trollberg Forest while carrying around Jumba/Pleakley Spaceship Keys as he was able to miraculously drag the large and heavy object all over to the Elf Post Office Building that was planted against a tree as the Elf lets go of the keys and crack his back before turning around to walk into the building as he spotted an Elf Post Office Employee working behind the desk.

"Oh, Barch, good to see you. Game over already? How much did you lose?" The Elf Post Office Employee asked teasingly as the Elf, now named Bach, chuckles goodnaturedly and walked over to him while pulling out the Group's Letter.

"Nah, just taking a break. Anyway, get this, Woodman not only lost a bunch of Humans but three Aliens as well. Can you believe that?"

"Ha! Classic, Woodman!"

"He, he, yeah, anyway, do you mind sending this letter to the Nothern Counties? Specifically, deliver this to an Elf named Alfur." Batch asked while handing the letter over to the Elf Post Office Employee, who smiled warmly as he nodded.

"Sure, no problem."

"Cool, thanks...also, you have to deliver those set of keys as well." Bath says while pointing out the window as the other Elf was shocked to see Jumba/Pleakley's Spaceship Keys residing on the ground. "Good luck." Bath says with a smug laugh before walking out of the building as the Elf Post Office Employee growled under his breath in irritation but reluctantly stamped the letter anyway as he then walked outside and swiftly stamped the keys before whistling loudly as an Elf riding around in a bunny appeared and the Elf Post Office Employee was quick to hand him the latter while gesturing to take the keys away as well.

"On it, boss." The Delivery Elf says after his Boss told him where to take the items as he pocketed the letter and had his Bunny grabs onto the keys with his mouth as the Delivery Elf then snapped at the reins, and the cute-little rabbit was quick to race off into the Forest and swiftly made its way to the nearest river as the Delivery Elf had his rabbit skid to a stop and ordered it to toss the keys up into the air as he tossed the letter as well just as Female Elf appeared while flying around on a Falcon as the bird was able to latch onto the keys with its talons as the Elf grabbed the letter.

"Thanks!" The Bird Carrier Elf shouted gratefully as the Delivery Elf nodded before turning around to run away on his rabbit as the Female Elf grabbed onto the reins of her bird and snapped, forcing the Falcon to take off into the air as they soared through the Forest and even flown past a statued Mother Troll hugging her Baby Troll as the duo eventually arrived at the Nothern Counties and dropped the items as they flew through the air, and, luckily, another Female Delivery Elf appeared while riding around on a squirrel as they leaped up into the air and the Elf grabbed the letter as the Squirell grabbed the keys.

"Let's go, Raba!" The Female Delivery Elf screamed as her Pet Squirrel nodded, and they took off as they ran through the streets of the Nothern Counties Village before arriving at a large house as the Female Delivery Elf jumped off her pet and casually walked over to knock on the door as, after a few seconds of waiting, the door was opened and revealed to be a confused-looking Alfur raising an eyebrow at her. "Are you, Alfur?"

"Errr, yes?"

"Cool, sign here." The Female Delivery Elf says while pulling out a clipboard and a pen as Alfur was quick to sign his name on it. "Here you go." The Female Delivery Elf says while handing the letter to him as she then pointed behind her. "Where do you want those keys to be placed?" The Female Delivery Elf asked as Alfur looked ahead and spotted the Squireell still holding onto the keys in its mouth.

"Oh, uh, you can just leave it there." Alfur says as the Female Delivery Elf nodded curtly and turned around to walk over to her Squirrel as she jumped onto its back, and it lets go of the keys as they ran off. "Hmmm, let's see what this letter is about." A curious Alfur says while opening the letter as he reads it and his eyes widened in shock as the Elf gasps.

"Oh, dear! Hilda and the others are in danger! I have to help them! Sorry, Nana, I have to help you with your taxes tomorrow!" Alfur yelled to his Grandmother before walking out of the house as he locked the door behind him and whistled loudly as a panting Twig appeared out of nowhere and ran over to stand in front of him obediently. "Twig? Our Friends are in trouble and we need to send this letter and those keys to Joanna and the others." Alfur instructed as Twig barked and nodded seriously while walking over to grab the keys with his mouth as Alfur pocketed the letter and was quick to run over to leap onto his back as the Duo ran off and started making their way straight towards Trollberg at top speed.

~[Hilda and the others]~

"It's Sizeism, plain and simple. You'd never overlook an old giant." The Forest Giant complained like a bitch as Hilda, Frida, and Jumba had annoyed frowns on their faces while David and Pleakley were hyperventilating in fear as Stitch was trying to help the gang break free, but without much luck, as he then tried to bite on the Forest Giant's hand, only for nothing to happened as he grumbled. "Anyway, stay here." The Forest Giant ordered while walking over to a large tree as he tossed the group through a hole in the trunk of the tree and crash-landed on what seems to be a pile of the Forest Giant's Treasures as everyone in the group had a 'I'm soooooooooo over this shit' looks on their faces. "You should all be safe and comfortable there. When do you think you'll need food? In a few months or so?" The Forest Giant asked curiously and ignorantly as the group stared at him in shock/disbelief.

"Uh, I don't know if you know this about Humans, but we require three meals a day to stay alive and be healthy," Frida says with a glare and crossed arms.

"And we need double than that thanks to our different alien physiologies," Jumba explains as Pleakley nodded.

"Plus, a few of us have a couple of allergies to certain foods," David added in nervously.

"Meega no need food to survive, so Stitch good," Stitch says with a shrug as the Forest Giant blinked a couple of times in shock.

"Wow, all of you are really high maintenance...eh, I will feed you all in a few months or so. Besides, tiny things like you don't need a lot of food anyway." The Forest Giant says with a shrug while turning around to run away as Hilda glared up at his retreating form.

"What-Seriously?! You complained about us being Sizesist, and yet you think we don't need a lot of food because we're tiny compared to you? That's Sizesist, buddy!" Hilda screamed while kicking a few pieces of gold away as she huffed before calming down as the Blue-Haired Child took a deep breath. "Alright, since the Forest Giant is gone, this is our chance to escape. Stitch? Go out and scout the area to find any possible escape routes." Hilda ordered as Stitch nodded while saluting her as he popped out his alien appendages and ran ahead as the Furry Alien made his way over to the large hole in the tree and made a mighty jump into the air as he soared through it and fell down as Stitch landed on a small tree branch.

"Hmmm." Stitch hummed under his breath thoughtfully while looking around as he nodded to himself and climbed back up into the tree as he landed on a pile of treasure. "We're too high to jump and climb down. Stitch no think meega can carry all of you and climb down at the same time without dropping one of you." Stitch explained as Hilda and the others groaned in dismay at what he said.

"Great, how are we supposed to get out of here now?" Pleakley asked with a glare as David looked around and beamed as he pointed ahead.

"Hey, what about that?" David asked while pointing over at what seemed to be an abandoned and surprisingly still working car. "We can ride inside of it and have Stitch carry us down to safety."

"Hey...that's a good idea, David," Frida says with a smile as David blushed at the praise and chuckled awkwardly as Stitch nodded in agreement with David's Plan before noticing that Hilda was glaring down at the ground with a hurtful expression on her face as he walked over to her.

"Hilda, okay?"

"No, Stitch, Hilda is not okay. I seriously can't believe that jerk. He bet us, and right after we asked him for help. Woodman didn't even bother trying to rescue us. I thought he was my friend." Hilda says with a pout and angry tears in her eyes as she turned around and crossed her arms with a huff as Stitch gave her a sympathetic look and was about to try and comfort her, but then-

"Hilda! Stitch! People that I don't know! Are you there?!" A Familiar Voice Rang Out, causing Hilda to perk up and dry away her tears as she ran over to peek out of the hole in the tree and beamed at the sight of Woodman glancing up at her.

"Woodman! You came to rescue us after all!" A relief Hilda exclaimed as the others looked helpful by his sudden appearance, but then everyone goes silent at the Woodman's next words.

"Sort of. I was hoping you guys could help me reclaim some items that I've lost!"

"...WHAT?!" Hilda asked in pure shock and anger while gripping the tree trunk hole around her so hard that it cracked, and her eyes glowed pure blue briefly as Hilda gritted her teeth so hard that they nearly shattered. "Grrrr, Stitch! Grab him!" Hilda ordered as an equally angry Stitch nodded while rearing back his head as he spits out a huge stream of alien slime that flew out of the hole and fell down through the air as it was able to reach a surprised Woodman and wrapped around his waist as, before he could react, Stitch started slurping up his spit and sends a screaming Woodman flying up into the air as he was fling into the Forest Giant's Treasure Pile and crash-landed in front of the group with a pained moan.

"Ow, ow, ow! That burns!" Woodman complained with a glare due to Stitch's spit being acidic as said person finished slurping up his saliva, and Woodman winced as he glanced down at the burns on his sides. "What was that for?! That hurt like-," Woodman says before being interrupted by a furious-looking Hilda as she walked over to slap him across his cheek so hard that his head was sent flying away and crashed down inside of an opened Treasure Chest. "Ow...well, that didn't hurt since I'm made of wood, but what was that for?" Woodman's Head asked while stuck inside of the Treasure Chest as a still angry Hilda walked over to glare down at her supposed friend.

"Seriously, Woodman, what is wrong with you?! You lost us to the Giant on purpose!?"

"Well, duh, of course, I did. Did you really think that I'd go all in with three acorns? I should be the offended one." Woodman says sassily as a growling Hilda reaches down to grab his head and pulled him out as she glared at him with her eyes flashing blue briefly again.

"Are you really THAT stupid, Woodman?! Why in the bloody hell did you bet us into being taken away by the FREAKING Forest Giant!? Didn't you realize that if you had simply ASKED us to steal your stuff back in exchange for directions to Trollberg, we would've GLADLY helped you out in a heartbeat!"

"...Huh...you know what? That plan sounds way easier and simpler than my plan. I should've gone with that." Woodman says with a hum just as his body appeared as it walked over to grab his head and planted above his neck as it floated around. "Anyway, since I'm here, I might as well steal my stuff back," Woodman says while walking away casually as he grabs a random wooden guitar as well as a crown and puts it on his head as Hilda stared at him silently in pure disbelief and rising anger with her left eye twitching madly as Stitch growled at him angrily with the others looking peeved as well as they were about to speak up, but then-

"YOU!" A Familiar Enraged Voice Rang Out as the Group flinched in fear and turned around as they gasped at the sight of the Forest Giant glaring at them before lifting up his arm as he reached his hand into the tree trunk to try and grab the Gang, but Hilda, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Frida, David, and Woodman used their small size to their advantage by ducking away as they rolled down the large pile of gold.

"What do we do?! What do we do!? What do we do?!" Pleakley asked fearfully as Jumba looked around and spotted the abandoned car that David mentioned earlier as he pointed at it.

"Let's go with David's plan! Everyone, but 626, into the car!" Jumba ordered as everyone nodded and made their way over to board the car, including Woodman as they closed the door and buckled their seatbelts just as the Forest Giant's hand reach out to grab the car and pulled it out of the tree trunk as Stitch was quick to run over and leap up into the air and latch onto one of the Forest Giant's fingers.

"I GOT YOU, YOU LITTLE THIEF!" The Forest Giant yelled with a glare while pulling the car from out of the tree as he glared at the group, specifically at Woodman, through the windshields.

"Aaaahhhhhhhh!" Frida and David screamed while hugging each other in fear from the backseat with a scared Jumba sitting next to them as a trembling Pleakley was sitting in the Driver's Seat, and Hilda sat beside him in the Passenger Seat as Woodman sat in her lap.

"WOODMAN! I WON THOSE HUMANS AND ALIENS, FAIR AND SQUARE! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO-WAIT, WHAT THE HECK?!" The Forest Giant screamed with a glare before blinking in surprise as Stitch suddenly appeared by jumping up into the air and landing on the roof of the car as he reared back his head and spits out a large stream of acid that flew over to impact against the Forest Giant's face, not burning him but irritating him enough to yelp in surprise and reach up his arm to rub his slightly burnt face.

"FLOOR IT, OCTOPUS GUY!" Woodman ordered nervously as Pleakley flinched but nodded as he grabbed the steering wheel and slammed one of his legs onto the gas pedal as the wheels on the vehicle started spinning around rapidly, burning rubber against the palm of the Forest Giant's hand as the Giant Creature yelped in pain and his grip on the car lessened as it zoomed forward and rolled across the Forest Giant's outstretched arm as it rode up his shoulder and impacted against his face, causing him to grunt in pain/surprise and stumble backwards as the car was sent flying up into the air and the occupants inside all screamed in fear as they fell through the air and were about to crash down into the ground, but thankfully, Stitch leaped off the vehicle and landed on the ground as he held up his arms and was able to catch the car in his grip with his Superhuman Strength as 626 gently sets it down on the ground.

"Everyone okay?!" Pleakley asked worriedly as Hilda, Jumba, Woodman, Frida, and David groaned in response. "Oh, good, I was really concerned that-,"

"COME BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE THIEF!" The Forest Giant screamed after recovering from being hit by the car as he turned to roar down at the group.

"CHEESE IT! FOR REAL THIS TIME!" Hilda screamed panickedly as a flinching Pleakley slammed his foot on the gas pedal, and the car zoomed forward through the forest as the Octopus-like Alien was REALLY thankful that Joanna and Roland had taught him and Jumba how to ride an Earth Vehicle.

"WOODMAN, YOU CHEAT! WOULD YOU'VE ROBBED A PROPER GIANT THIS WAY?! I BET NOT!" The Forest Giant screamed defensively while running after the group as, while he was following after his foes, the giant did a double take at what he said and groaned as the Forest Giant facepalmed in annoyance/disappointment. "OH, LISTEN TO ME, CALLING THEM 'PROPER GIANTS'? UGH, I'M SUCH A BIG HYPOCRITE!"

"THAT'S WHAT I SAID!" Hilda screamed while popping her head out of the window as a glaring Frida did the same.

"YEAH, MAY I SUGGEST YOU TAKE SOME DEEP THERAPY TO SORT OUT YOUR STUPID FEELINGS ABOUT FEELING SMALLER THAN THE REST OF THE GIANTS?!"

"Oh, hey, that's actually some good advice-WAIT, A MINUTE! WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING!" A blushing Forest Giant screamed angrily as a confused Frida turned to the others.

"What did he think I was implying?" Frida asked innocently as Jumba opened up his mouth to explain but was cut off by Pleakley's icy glare as he lowered his arm sheepishly.

"Guys, how are we going to lose this Forest Giant?" A nervous David asked just as Pleakley glanced down to catch a glimpse of the Gas Regulator and groaned at what he sees in dismay.

"Especially when we're about to be out of gas soon!" Pleakley screamed as Hilda and Frida looked around as they then gasped and turned to each other as they shared a determined nod.

"Pleakley! Make a hard turn to the left!" Frida ordered as Pleakley flinched but nodded as he sweated nervously and twisted the steering wheel rapidly as he forced the car to take a hard turn to the left and started racing towards a set of large trees planted in front of them.

"Stitch! Clear a path!" Hilda instructed as Stitch, who was able to hear thanks to his Superhuman Hearing, nodded and leaped over to land in front of the car as he sticks himself into the hood with his sticky feet and held out his four arms as Stitch closed his eyes in concentration and, after unleashing his claws, he was quick to join his claws together to form four large fans as they started spinning around rapidly just as they impacted against the forest as Experiment 626 was able to protect his friends and the car from the forest by slashing apart the trees before they impacted against them.

"WHOA!" The Forest Giant screamed in surprise due to the sudden harsh turn that the Group made and nearly lost his balance as he skidded to a stop and lowered himself to the ground in a low crouch as he panted lightly before raising his head to glare at the retreating Group as, unfortunately for them, they weren't able to make some good distance due to the car running out of gas as it skids to a stop.

"Everyone, hide!" Frida ordered as everyone nodded and quickly unbuckled themselves from their seats as they ran out of the vehicle, but then Woodman stopped as he remembered that he had left his stuff behind.

"Wait! My belongings...mostly!"

"Leave them, Little Woodman!" Jumba yelled sharply with a glare while running back to grab the Woodman as he then followed after the others with Stitch staying behind to confront the Forest Giant as he growled over at him and saw the giant creature recovering from his fall as he stood up to his full height and scowled as the Forest Giant began running towards him.

Growling under his breath stoically, Stitch was quick to grab the car and lifted it up into the air as he started twirling the vehicle around while ignoring Woodman's protesting for him to stop as 626 swiftly tossed the car up to the rushing Forest Giant, who backhanded it away with ease but this is what Stitch wanted as, while he was distracted, the little Experiment went into his Ball Form and rolled to the side as he then sped ahead. Growing out his back spines, a rolling Stitch made his way over to a line of large trees as he collided against them and used his Superhuman Strength/Speed to not only rip them out of the ground but sends them flying to impact against the Forest Giant's body as said creature yelped in surprise and slight pain while raising his hands defensively as the incoming projectile trees continued colliding against him.

Getting out of his Ball Form, Stitch then threw back his head and fired a huge stream of acid spit that impacted around the Forest Giant's feet as, while it only stung him as much as a Bee would to a Human, the ground below him, however, was burned away and lost stability as it crumbled down and created a big trench as it caused a surprised Forest Giant to lose his footing and fall down to his knees. Seeing that his opponent was distracted, Stitch was quick to use this to his advantage as he ran forward and jumped up to try and throw a double punch at the Forest Giant, only for his eyes to widen in surprise when Experiment 626 realized that the Forest Giant's reflexes were faster than he initially thought and turned to glare at him as he lifted up his arm.

"Oh, nala! (Oh, fuck!)," Stitch cursed after seeing that the giant arm was heading towards him and reacted on instinct to avoid the attack as his ears suddenly stretched upwards and joined together as they twirled around and tied themselves together in a knot as Stitch's Ears started spinning around rapidly, resembling a helicopter blade as Jumba's Experiment suddenly flew to the side at fast speeds to avoid the Forest Giant's attack.

"Whoa! Stitch can fly?!" A surprised Hilda asked as the others had their jaws dropped in amazement by what they saw.

"Of course, he can fly. I mean, come on, what kind of Evil Genius would I be if I didn't give my greatest creation the ability to fly?" Jumba says while rolling his eyes as a glaring Pleakley turned to him.

"If you knew that Stitch can fly, why didn't you tell us?!"

"Well, uh, to be honest...I kind of forgot that he can fly up until now." Jumba says sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head as Pleakley, Woodman, and the Kids stared at him with unamused looks on their faces. "Hey, don't give me that look! Do you have any idea how many powers 626 has?! Don't tell me that you all remember that he can spit acid!?"

"...Okay, you got us there," Hilda says with a shrug as she and the others did forget that Stitch had that power.

Back at the fight, we see Stitch dodging and swerving from the angry Forest Giant's swipes as he blew a raspberry at him mockingly, pissing him off as the roaring Forest Giant threw a mighty punch at him as Stitch was able to avoid it by untying his ears back into their normal style and rolled up into his Ball Form as the giant's fist flew past him. Landing on the Forest Giant's Arm, Stitch was quick to roll forward as he swiftly rolled up his shoulder and jumped up to impact against the Forest Giant's face, irritating him more than hurting him as Stitch unrolled himself and fell through the air as he glared up at the giant creature, angered that his attacks weren't having as much of an effect as he hoped.

Taking deep breaths to calm himself down, a humming Stitch then placed his hand on his chin to think while still falling through the air as he was brainstorming ideas on how to hurt the Forest Giant before his Supercomputer Brain was able to figure out a great idea as Stitch smirked and glanced down at his four arms as he was quick to cover them with his acid spit. Rubbing his hands together rapidly, Experiment 626 laughed maniacally as he was able to set his arms ablaze with blue fire as it spread out across his whole body, covering him in an aura of blue fire as Stitch swiftly rolled up into his Ball Form and collided against the ground as he bounced off it and headed straight towards a surprised Forest Giant as Jumba's Greatest Experiment collided against his face, being able to actually hurt him this time around as the giant creature stumbled backwards.

"Whoa! Did you guys see that?!" A shocked David asked as Jumba nodded with a proud look on his face.

"He, he, it's about time that 626 started fighting smarter than harder. 626 knew that his normal attacks would be unsuccessful against a foe that big, so he decided to get himself some firepower by covering his hands with acidic spit and setting himself on fire since acid is flammable." Jumba explained as a confused Frida turned to him.

"But, wait, during the Marra Event, when Stitch was covered in green flames, he was able to put himself out with his own spit?" Frida asked while tilting her head in puzzlement as Jumba rolled his eyes goodnaturedly.

"Oh, sweet little, Black-Haired Little Girl. Don't you realize that I gave Stitch the ability to switch between his Normal Spit and his Acid Spit whenever he wants to?"

"Oh...that makes sense." A sheepish and blushing Frida says as she chuckled awkwardly.

Groaning in pain, the Forest Giant rubbed his slightly burnt cheek as Stitch flew over to land against a tree and used it to slingshot over to impact against the giant creature's cheek like a flaming blue meteor as the Forest Giant yelped in pain and was sent stumbling back a couple of feet again. After repeating this process over and over again for the next few minutes with the Forest Giant's human-like face being covered in bruises and burns as well as blood dripping down from his mouth, Experiment 626 decided to end things once and for all by briefly unrolling himself as he falls down against the tree and grabs onto it as the Flamed Up Alien Experiment used the tree to slingshot himself over to the Forest Giant and held up his four limbs as, before the injured and dazed giant creature could react, a roaring Stitch delivered a brutal quadruple uppercut at the Forest Giant's face with a huge shockwave ranging out and putting out Stitch's flames as the now knocked out Forest Giant slowly tilts backwards and crashed down into the ground hard enough that Hilda and the others nearly lost their balance as, once they recovered, they were quick to run over to Stitch, who jumped off the Forest Giant's body as he landed onto the ground on all fours.

"Whoo, Stitch, you did it!"

"That was awesome!"

"Way to go, Stitch!"

"I knew that you could do it!"

"Good job, 626!" Hilda, David, Frida, Pleakley, and Jumba cheered while walking over to either rub Stitch's head or pat his back in congratulation as he beamed at the praise smugly.

"Ih saw nokota (It was nothing)," Stitch says with a smirk as Woodman walked over to look around with a disappointed look on his face.

"Hmm, all of that for nothing...well, except for you guys, I guess," Woodman says to the others bluntly as they all glare at him in annoyance.

"Again, why are you friends with him again?" Frida asked with a frown while leaning over to Hilda, who shrugged as she shakes her head with a sigh.

"Sometimes, I wonder that too..."

~[Logan and the others]~

"No? Oh, well, thanks for checking. Please keep an eye out and let me know if you see my Daughter and her friends." Joanna says while pacing around in the Living Room of her Apartment as she was currently calling a few places to see if they had seen Hilda and the others because she and Roland weren't able to find them when they came back home after the storm cleared up.

"Of course, I know adequate supervision can be so hard for a single parent." The Woman on the Phone, which was revealed to be Eliza's mother, said condensingly as Joanna's eye twitched in annoyance.

"Well, at least MY Daughter is not failing her classes because she's too busy sneaking out and meeting boys like a little delinquent," Joanna says through gritted teeth, remembering what Hilda told her about spotting Eliza skipping classes a while back as she then hangs up the phone with a loud huff just as the door was opened as Roland ran in. "Did you get anything?"

"Nothing, unfortunately. I asked all the Neighbors and all of them said that they were too busy sheltering themselves from the storm to notice Hilda and the others leaving the Apartment." Roland says with Amun walking beside him as Joanna curses.

"Damn it. Where could they have gone? Why would they leave in the first place? I mean, Jumba and Pleakley make sense since one is irresponsible and the other is too weak-willed to command the others to stay, but why did Logan let them go? Grrr, when he shows his face, I'm going to-,"

"Joanna! Roland!" Logan shouted while suddenly appearing in the Apartment by opening the door as he, Marcus, Daemon, Nero, Astrid, and Ivy walked in.

"Logan!" An angry Joanna says while marching forward to glare into his face. "You have five seconds to tell me where you, Jumba, and Pleakley took the kids before I-,"

"Ma'am? While I know that you are angry, we have more pressing matters to attend to. Madam and her Friends are missing." Daemon says, causing Joanna's anger to deflate as she turned to him in shock.

"What?!"

"It's a long story, but we were at the Trollberg Weather Station, and one of the Weather Spirits destroyed it while we were making our escape. We tried to locate Hilda and the others, but we couldn't find them, which led us to believe that they are still alive, but we don't know where they are." Logan explained grimly with a remorseful expression on his face as he felt bad for losing Hilda and the others on his watch as he then shakes his head and gave Joanna a serious glare. "But, I promise you, Joanna, we will find Hilda and the others, no matter how long it takes," Logan says as Joanna glared at him stoically for a few seconds before sighing heavily as she shook her head.

"Alright, we will talk about what happened another time, but for now, we need to figure out where Hilda and the others went," Joanna says as Rolan placed a thoughtful hand on his chin.

"Hmmm, you guys said earlier that a Weather Spirit blew up the Weather Station earlier, right? Well, if Hilda and the others weren't around, this could possibly mean that they were swept away by the Weather Spirit by accident."

"No lie, we were talking about that possibility while on the way here." Marcus pointed out as Astrid glared seriously.

"But the thing is that we haven't seen which direction the Weather Spirit flew off to, so we still don't know where Hilda and the others were blown off to."

"You all might not, but I do." A Familiar Voice Rang Out as everyone turned their heads and was surprised to see Alfur and Twig running into the Apartment through the Doggy Door as they made their way over to the group.

"Alfur? Twig? What are you guys doing here? Weren't you two on a Business Trip or whatever?" A confused Astrid asked as Alfur nodded.

"Yeah, we were, but we decided to cut our trip short because Hilda and her friends had sent us this letter for us to deliver to you guys," Alfur says, causing everyone to beam as the Elf pulled out the Gang's Letter and opened it up as Joanna pulled out a magnifying glass to allow everyone to read the tiny letter.

"Alfur, when you get this letter, please take it to my Mum and the others back at Trollberg ASAP. This is an emergency." Joanna read first.

"Anyway, dear everyone, this is Hilda talking. So, long story short, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Frida, David, and I were swept away by a Weather Spirit, and we ended up crashing down into the Trollberg Woods." Roland read second.

"Don't worry, we're okay, but we got lost in the forest. Thankfully, we ran into Woodman." Logan read third.

"Unfortunately, Woodman refuses to corporate because...well, you know how he is." Marcus read fourth.

"But the good news is that we had found an Elf who was nice enough to deliver this note to you guys to explain what's going on." Daemon read fifth.

"And what is better is that he agreed to take Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship Keys with him, so when you get the letter and the package, go over to Jumba's Room and get that Special Remote to teleport yourselves to Jumba's Ship and use its Tracking System to hone in on Stitch's Power Cell Signature to find us and fly us back home." Astrid read sixth.

"Don't worry, Jumba will have Stitch write in the instructions on how to use the tracking system, and all you have to do next is to simply fly the ship...I'm still miffed that some of you know how to fly Jumba and Pleakley's Cool Spaceship, but not me...anyway, you guys know what to do next, so we will make sure to stay around Stitch for you guys to find us and bring us home. Can't write more. Paper is very tiny. Love, Hilda, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Frida and Davi-," Everyone read eight as the group blinked a couple of times.

"Huh, must've run out of space to fully write David's name," Marcus says with a shrug as Joanna lowered her magnifying glass and closed her eyes as she took a deep breath.

"Okay, well, while I'm still angry that everyone sneaked out, I'm just glad that Hilda and her friends are safe...well, ish. I don't entirely trust that Woodman."

"Same," Logan says with a nod, remembering meeting Woodman a long time ago as he wasn't exactly fond of him due to him thinking that Woodman was a selfish pain in the ass...which isn't exactly far off from the truth, funny enough.

"Well, you heard what was on the note. Let's go and find Hilda and the others." Daemon stated with a serious glare as everyone nodded.

"Indeed, let's go," Logan says as Joanna and Roland stepped forward.

"We're coming too."

"Wait, seriously? This could be dangerous." A worried Logan says as Joanna narrowed her eyes furiously.

"An inadequate mother will stand by and wait on the sidelines like a coward, but I'm a good-No, great mother! I'm going to help find my Daughter, and, if any of you try to stop me, you feel a woman's scorn." Joanna says with an angry scowl on her face as everyone flinched and sweated fearfully as they stepped to the side and allowed Joanna and an equally scared Roland to walk past them.

"Huh...now I can see where Hilda got her fierceness and determination from," Daemon whispered to Nero amusedly with an impressed look on his face as he chuckles.

~[Hilda and the others]~

"The Hilda I knew would NEVER get lost nor need the help of others to find her way back home," Woodman says chidingly as we cue back to the Trollberg Woods, and we see the gang walking around while it was getting dark out as an annoyed and confused Hilda turned to him.

"What are you talking about? I get lost all the time." Hilda says while sounding like she was proud of that fact for some weird reason.

"Look, I'm just saying that you have gone city."

"I have NOT gone city. Trollberg is where I live now, but the Wilderness will always have a warm spot in my heart...no offense, guys." Hilda says to Frida and David, who shrugged and mumbled, 'It's okay, Hils'.

"Why are you so fixated with Hilda living in the city, anyway?" Pleakley asked irritably, having enough of Woodman complaining about Hilda's current living status as Jumba nodded.

"Indeed, judging by what Blue-Haired Little Girl told us earlier, you're not exactly a sociable person, so if anything, you should be thrilled that Blue-Haired Girl has gone city...not that you did, by the way," Jumba added in sheepishly after noticing that Hilda was glaring at him.

"Yeah, so why do you seem so annoyed that Hilda lives in Trollberg now?" A confused David asked as Frida and Stitch stared at Woodman suspiciously before their eyes widened in realization as they couldn't help but grin mischievously.

"No way...you miss Hilda, don't you?"

"What?!" A surprised Woodman asked while turning to Frida and Stitch as they crossed their arms with knowing looks on their faces.

"You heard me. You miss Hilda. That's where all that 'Gone City' Talk is coming from. You may pretend to not like people, but deep down, you miss Hilda and her Mum's presence, don't you?"

"Ha, ha! Woodman miss Hilda! Woodman miss Hilda! Woodman miss Hilda!" Stitch mocked playfully while pointing at a stunned Woodman as a shocked Hilda turned to him.

"Wait, is that true? Do you miss me? Awww, that's so sweet. Didn't think you cared." Hilda says with a warm smile as a dark orange blush appeared on his face, and multiple small white flowers blossomed out of his cheeks as Woodman shook his head to get rid of them and turned around as the Wood Folk gripped his fists tightly, clearly heavily embarrassed by the whole ordeal.

"No, I don't! All of you are talking crazy! I don't miss Hilda at all!"

"Awww, Woodman, if it makes you feel any better, I missed you as well."

"Don't care!"

"Well, if you want to know, after this mess is all over, we will make sure to visit you more often, so you won't be lonely anymore. You may be a jerk, but you were the first friend that I've ever made."

"Stop talking!"

"No, seriously, we would-,"

"Wait, shut up for real. What the hell is that?" A curious Woodman asked while pointing ahead as the group walked over to see what he was pointing and were surprised to see what seems to be a normal-looking Wooden/Brick Cabin with two floors and an attic as all of the lights were turned on.

"Huh, weird, what's a Cabin doing all the way out here in the middle of the woods?" Frida asked while tilting her head confusedly as Pleakley turned to Hilda.

"Hilda, did you ever see this Cabin before?" Pleakley asked as a suspicious Hilda placed her hand on her chin thoughtfully.

"Hmmm, no, not really...although I don't remember coming around these parts, so maybe this cabin has been here this whole time without my Dad, me and Mum knowing," Hilda says with a shrug as Stitch turned to her.

"Llollo molo kota kwesta, maba?"

"Oh, wow, you're right. That Cabin DOES resemble a lot like my Old Cabin." Hilda says with a nostalgic smile as David turned to smile at her.

"You must miss your old Home, huh?"

"Oh, yeah, a lot. While our Apartment is bigger and roomier, our Old Cabin just had more character and a lot of good memories. Like, one time, when I was Five, my Parents decided to try to do something special for the Holidays and my Dad went to Trollberg to get a Santa Suit and tried to surprise me the next morning by coming down the chimney to give me my presents personally, but he ended up being stuck inside of the chimney. My Mum and I couldn't help but to laugh at that for hours." Hilda says with a snort as she, Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley laughed while Frida and David remained silent as they shared nervous looks. "Oh, and another good thing about living out in the Woods alone is that we don't have to worry about any annoying or stupid neighbors either complaining about the noise or bothering us about something asinine like asking to sign some idiotic sports petition," Hilda says while rolling her eyes with an irritated look as Pleakley suddenly stepped forward.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I want to go in there."

"Same, I would do anything to have a cocoa right now," David says while licking his lips as Hilda and the others, sans Woodman, turned to them warily.

"Uh, guys? I'm not sure we're allowed to go in there since the people inside will think that we're strangers. Besides, we should really stay here and wait for the others to come and pick us up." A worried Hilda says as Pleakley and David turned to the group pleadingly while clasping their hands together.

"Please, guys, we have been out in the Woods all day, and we desperately need somewhere to lie down," Pleakley says as David nodded.

"Besides, the others will be able to find us since we have Stitch with us anyway, so who cares where we decided to wait?"

"Hmmm, I don't know, guys. We don't know who those people are inside. They could be dangerous." Frida says with a concerned frown as Jumba rolled his eyes and scoffs.

"Please, if someone really dangerous does live in there, we have 626 around to protect us. Speaking off, 626? Do you mind scanning the place to see who is inside?" Jumba asked as Stitch nodded and turned to look at the Cabin as he activated his X-Ray/Microscopic Vision to glance over at the Mysterious Cabin before turning back to the group as 626 deactivated his abilities.

"There's no one there."

"See? It's empty, so we will just stay there long enough for the others to show up and then we will leave." Pleakley says with a satisfied smile on his face as Hilda frowned anxiously.

"Well, I don't know. Yeah, it is getting pretty dark out, and we need to find some shelter, but what happens if the people living in the cabin come back and see us staying in their home unannounced? We could get into a lot of-,"

"Hey, guys! Are you coming in or what?" Woodman's Voice Rang Out as everyone turned their heads and were surprised to see the Woodfolk standing in the Mysterious Cabin's Entrance as he opened the door and casually walked inside as Pleakley and David beamed before running over to the Cabin as Jumba and Stitch followed after them as Hilda and Frida turned to share an uncomfortable look as they then closed their eyes and sighed heavily as they reluctantly made their way over to the Cabin.

~[Logan and the others]~

"Alright, judging by the tracker, Stitch is around this area, which means Hilda and the others are with him as well," Joanna says to the others as we see her and the others trekking through the Trollberg Woods as, after finding the Teleporting Remote and using it to warp themselves into Jumba and Pleakley's Ship, Joanna was quick to take control of the Spaceship and flew them up into the air as Logan and Roland followed Jumba's instructions and used the Ship's Trackers to track down Stitch's Power Cell Signal as, after a few minutes of flying, the gang was finally able to get a trace on Stitch's Signal and Joanna was quick to park the ship in a large meadow as she and the others walked out of the ship as they began following the signal.

"Yep," Roland says with a nod as he and Joanna walked ahead of the group due to the Young Woman holding onto the handheld tracking device and using it to lead the group to Stitch as, along the way, Roland decided that it was time to discuss the elephant in the room. "So...Joanna...about earlier-,"

"D-Do you regret it?" Joanna asked while biting her lip nervously as she was worried that Roland was starting to regret their love-making earlier.

"Oh, no! Trust me, I loved that VERY much, but, uh, I did come inside of you and that could mean that you might be-,"

"Roland, don't worry. Once this whole mess is over, I will get a Pregnancy Test and see if we...uh...well, you know. Besides, just because we had sex unprotected doesn't mean that we will have a...you know. Who knows? Maybe we got lucky, and I won't end up...you know." Joanna says with a nervous giggle as Roland smiled hesitantly and nods with both Adults looking incredibly worried about their future as they held hands for comfort.

~[Hilda and the others]~

"Sorry for bargaining in," Hilda says apologetically while walking into the cabin with the others as everyone looked around and saw that the Interior of the Mysterious Cabin consisted of a Furnished Living Room of two comfy-looking chairs placed around a nice-looking rug with a large bookcase placed at the end of the room, a brick chimney, a big kitchen with a fridge, a set of cabinets, a stove, and a set of stairs that leads to the Second Floor that contained seven rooms that were each decorated to accommodate Hilda and the others, suspiciously enough, as well as two bathrooms for Boys and Girls, respectively.

"Who are you apologizing to? There's no one around." Frida says while turning to her Girl Best Friend with a raised eyebrow.

"Errr, force of habit," Hilda says with a blush as, even when they were living out in the Woods alone, her Parents had installed into her the importance of politeness, especially when you are in a Guests' House...even though Hilda thought the lessons were unnecessary back then due living alone, but now she can see why it's good to be polite in someone else's home such as when she accidentally barged into Frida's House without knocking first during her early days in Trollberg and got an earful from Frida's Parents about it.

"Oh, this place is pretty cozy." Pleakley says while looking around with an impressed look on his face as Jumba nods.

"Yes, even Jumba admits that this place looks pretty comfy and nice. Like Blue-Haired Girl's Cabin...you know, right before Jumba and 626 accidentally blew it up."

"Yeah, don't remind me," Hilda says with a half-lid unamused/irritated glare as, even after nearly a year from the event, she was still admittedly a little bit miffed that her Cabin was destroyed, especially when her Mum told her that they wouldn't have sold the Cabin to anyone and they would've used it like a Summer Home to visit every year, but that dream died when their Cabin exploded into a billion pieces. Sure, Hilda forgave Stitch and Jumba a long time ago, obviously, but still, it was her childhood home, so of course, Hilda will still be mad/sad that it blew up.

"Soka... (Sorry...)," Stitch says apologetically while retracting his alien appendages, still feeling guilty for accidentally blowing up his Friend's Childhood Home as Hilda rubbed his hair reassuringly.

"Oh, wow, how about that?" Woodman says amusedly as he and David walked over to the Kitchen from where a glass of orange juice could be seen placed on the Kitchen Counter and a special kind of tea was brewing on the stove as Woodman reached over to grab the tea kettle and poured the tea inside of a wood-based tea cup that had a twig inside of it. "My favorite tea too."

"Ooh, orange juice, I'm so thirsty," David says while reaching up to grab the orange juice as he drinks from it and sighs in satisfaction.

"Huh, weird, whoever lived here not only left the lights on when they left but left the tea brewing on the hot stone too?" A suspicious Frida asked as she, Hilda, and Stitch walked over to the Kitchen as an annoyed Woodman turned to them.

"Your friend asks too many questions, Hilda...I don't like it." Woodman stated bluntly with Frida narrowing her eyes at her angrily as Hilda closed her eyes with a sigh. "Anyway...tea?" Woodman suggested while holding out his tea as the Girls stared down at it in disgust.

"Ugh, I prefer peppermint, thanks."

"I'm much more of a jasmine-type girl," Frida says while holding out her hands politely as Woodman turned to Stitch and held out his tea as he shakes his head.

"Naga, Stitch likes coffee," Stitch says just as a steaming peppermint and jasmine tea magically appeared on the Kitchen Counter as well as a cup of coffee as the Trio was shocked by the sight of this.

"Oh, neat," Hilda says while reaching over to grab her tea as a weirded-out Frida reluctantly did the same, and both Girls drank from the tea as they sighed in satisfaction.

"..." A quiet Stitch sneaked over to the Kitchen Counter and turned his head to see that his friends were too busy drinking their teas to notice what he was doing and Experiment 626 grinned at this cockily as he turned around to reach up and grab the coffee, but then-

"Stitch..." Hilda says warningly with a cold glare while turning to him as Stitch flinched and groans loudly as he slammed his head against the Kitchen Cabinet in defeat.

"Whoa! Look at what we found, guys!" Pleakley's Excited Voice Rang Out as Hilda and the others were quick to run into the Living Room as they spotted Pleakley and Jumba standing near the Book Case. "Whoever lived here had all kinds of encyclopedias based on the History of the Human Race! It's all truly fascinating!"

"Not only that, but they have several books from the Traganan Galaxy! Jumba didn't know that they had these kinds of books on Earth!" A beaming Jumba says as he and Pleakley grabbed the books that they wanted to read as they then moved over to sit down on their respective chairs.

"Huh, really? That's...a bit convenient." Frida says with a raised eyebrow as Woodman rolled his eyes with a scoff.

"Again, you ask too many questions. Let's just enjoy ourselves for a while until your friends show up because, I don't know about you, but I'm going to sit by the fire and enjoy their records." Woodman says while walking ahead as Hilda and the others watched him go confusedly.

"They have a fire?" David asked hopefully, desperately wanting to get warm from the cold night in the Forest.

"It certainly appears so," Woodman says while walking over to the lit-up fireplace as David was quick to run over and sit down next to it as he held out his hands and sighed heavenly.

"And records?" Hilda asked excitedly as Woodman nodded while placing a record on a record player as it began playing some country music.

"Oh, I love this one, but I wonder if they have a guitar."

"Youga nena hat? (You mean that?)," Stitch asked while pointing up as Woodman spotted a guitar placed on the shelf of the fireplace.

"Ah, there we go," Woodman says while walking over to grab the Guitar before making his way to sit on a spare seat to play some music to accompany the song.

"Hmmm, okay, it is admittedly pretty cozy here," Frida says with a little smile, loosening up a bit thanks to the music and warm environment as Hilda turned to smile at her.

"Yeah, and the guys are right. The people living here will probably be gone for a little while, so why don't we enjoy ourselves a bit until Mum and the others show up?" Hilda suggested as Frida thought about it for a bit...but then shrugged as she nodded.

"Sure, whatevs."

"So what you girls want to do?" Stitch asked curiously.

"Well, I would give anything to have a hot bath right now. I feel so filthy walking around in the Forest all day." Frida says while glancing down at her dirty form in mild disgust as Hilda nodded in agreement.

"Oh, yes, that would be lovely. Too bad we don't have a change of clothes." Hilda says while sighing in disappointment as, unknown to the trio, a new set of clothes that matched Hilda and Frida's normal attire appeared on the coffee table.

"Don't worry, Girls, I have a new set of clothes for you in my duffle bag," Pleakley says reassuringly while pulling out his bag of clothes as the clothes on the coffee table were magically poofed away without anyone knowing.

"Oh, thanks, Pleakley." A grateful Hilda says as Pleakley nods and reached into the duffel bag to pull out a new set of fresh clothes for the Girls as he tossed them over to Hilda and Frida. "Come on, guys, let's go and take a bath," Hilda says as Frida nodded...but then raised an eyebrow as she glanced down at Stitch.

"Wait, Stitch's going to take a bath with us?"

"Yep, I don't trust him to take a bath by himself. Stitch either lets the water run and fool us into thinking he was taking a bath or tries to run away." Hilda explained while glaring down at a sheepish Stitch as she huffs in irritation. "Sometimes, I think Jumba made Stitch Half-Cat." Hilda thought to herself incredulously.

"Oh, right, forgot about that," Frida says with a shrug as Hilda nodded.

"Yeah, besides, Stitch is really good at washing hair. Here, I will show you." Hilda says while grabbing Stitch, who was quietly trying to sneak away from the Girls as Hilda reached over to grab him by his arms and started dragging him upstairs with Frida walking after them as a moaning Stitch was trying to stop Hilda by stabbing his claws into the floor and cutting it up, but that failed as the Blue-Haired Girl was able to successfully pull him up to the second floor.

~[Logan and the others]~

"So, are you sure that Madam and her friends were here?" Daemon asked while placing his hands on his hips as we see him and the others currently standing in front of the Forest Giant's Tree.

"Recently, but yeah, they were here," Joanna says while glancing down at the handheld tracking device as she sticks out her tongue in concentration. "But, I think we're close to them. It says here that they are approximately two miles from here."

"Oh, that's good to hear. Where should we go?" Logan asked as Joanna opened up her mouth to speak up, but then-

"MORE THIEVES?! COME ON!" A Familiar Frustrated Voice Rang Out as the group flinched in surprise and turned around to see the Forest Giant glaring down at them as, before they could react, the giant furry blue creature reaches down to grab the group in his grasp and lifted up his arm to stare at them, face-to-face. "LEAD ME TO THAT CHEATER WOODMAN AND HIS BAND OF MISFITS, ESPECIALLY THAT PESKY BLUE FURRY MONSTER!" The Forest Giant ordered as the struggling group perked up at what he said.

"O-Oh, uh, how ironic! That's what we were hoping you would-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Alfur says nervously before screaming in fear as the Forest Giant roared in their faces and a glaring Logan, Daemon, Nero, and Astrid turned to share a look as they nodded, ready to defend their friends as Daemon's body glowed purple with his eyes shining brightly as he lets off a huge purple demonic shockwave that caused a surprised Forest Giant to let go of the group and Logan swiftly shapeshifted into a red-scaly big-winged Dragon as Astrid landed on top of his head and the duo flew over to Forest Giant as Logan breathed hot flames into the roaring Forest Giant's Face.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Joanna, Roland, Marcus, Alfur, Twig, and Ivy screamed as they fell through the air with Nero diving down to try and grab them, but the group was instead saved by the Great Raven as he swoops in his Giant Form and was able to catch Joanna and the others on his back as he then flew them down to safety.

"Raven! You're here!" An exhilarated Alfur screamed in joy while riding around on a shaking Twig as Roland helped a trembling Joanna up to her feet, and Ivy turned over to see Amun floating down to the ground harmlessly as she sweatdrops at him.

"I know! What a peculiar coincidence!" The Great Raven says with a smile while transforming back into his Small Form as an annoyed Marcus stood up from the floor and walked over to glare down at him.

"Where the hell did you go?!" Marcus asked due to the Great Raven spontaneously flying off after the Weather Station crashed down into the ground.

"Uh, I went to look for Hilda and the others after the Weather Spirit took them away, duh? I thought that was why you guys are here." The Great Raven asked with a raised eyebrow as, after Hilda and the others had vanished, his bird instincts told him that his friends were still alive and quickly deduced that Hilda and the others were possibly, accidentally kidnapped by the Weather Spirit, so he chased after him but had to fly back due to the Weather Spirit telling him that his friends fell off him and landed somewhere in the Trollberg Woods.

"Well, uh...err, never mind," Marcus says while waving his arm around as the Great Raven then turned to Joanna and Roland as the Thunderbird smiled at them.

"Oh, hey, I remember you guys. Your Hilda's Mum and her Boyfriend, right? Hilda told me the good news earlier, so congratulations on your relationship and stuff."

"Uh, thanks, but don't you think you should help with that?" Roland asked awkwardly while pointing up at his Friends fighting against the Forest Giant as Nero had joined in on the fight earlier after seeing the Thunderbird save the civilians.

"Oh, right. See you guys in a bit." The Great Raven says before taking off into the air and transforms into his Giant Form in mid-air.

"Ugh, this is why I wanted to move Hilda and I out of the Forest." An exasperated Joanna says while rubbing her temples as Roland patted her back to comfort her.

Back with the others, we see a glaring Daemon summoning his wings as he files to the side to avoid the Forest Giant from punching him and responded by raising his hand as the Demon Prince fired a purple energy blast that collided against the giant creature's face, causing him to grunt in pain and stumbled back from the attack as Logan flew in and breathed hot fire at the Forest Giant's sides, burning him slightly as the Forest Giant roared in rage and reaches down to grab Logan's tail as he slammed him against his tree. Grunting in pain, Logan quickly recovered from the attack and roared out a big stream of hot flames at the Forest Giant, who was able to shield himself from the attack with his arms as Astrid jumped off from her friend's body and began climbing up the tree as a growling Logan took off into the air.

Making his way over to fly beside Nero, the Magical Bird Creatures turned to share a nod as they then separated and started flying circles around the Forest Giant as they fired a combination of lightning and dark energy at him, causing him to grit his teeth in pain as he reared back his arms to deliver a mighty thunderclap to blow the birds away, only for Logan to distract him by flying in to blow hot flames into his face as Daemon was quick to swoop in and delivered a powerful purple energy-powered punch up at the Forest Giant's chin. Screaming in agony, the Forest Giant stumbled back from the force of his punch as he crashed against the small trees behind him and fall down into the ground with a loud shockwave that nearly caused Joanna and the other civilians to lose their balance.

Groaning in pain, the Forest Giant tried to sit up from the floor, only to fail as the Great Raven and Nero flew in as they opened their mouths and fired huge beams of white lightning and purple/black dark energy as they flew over to impact against the giant creature's arms, creating a set of energy cuffs that bound him to the floor as, if that wasn't bad enough, Logan flew in to wrap his slim body around the Forest Giant's legs, restraining him as, before the Furry Blue Insecure Giant could react, Astrid could be seen gliding through the air with the help of a leaf as she flew over to the Forest Giant's face and lets go of the leaf as Astrid fell down through the air while letting out a loud battle cry as she held up a large stick and proceeds to stab one of the Forest Giant's vulnerable large eyes.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Forest Giant screamed in pure agony, feeling like someone stabbed a tiny needle into his eye as blood leaked out of it.

"If you don't want to lose another eye, I suggest that you tell us where our friends are," Daemon says darkly while floating above the Forest Giant as he held out his hand, and a small ball of purple demonic energy formed as the now scared Forest Giant started weeping.

"N-No, please! Don't hurt me! I'm just mad that people keep calling me smallfry! I didn't mean to hurt anyone!"

"Well, we won't hurt you IF you tell us where Hilda and the others are." Daemon threatened.

"I-I don't know where they are, b-But I do know where I last saw them. I-I can take you guys there if you want?" The Forest Giant suggested as Daemon and the others turned to share a nod and a grin as they were close to finally finding their friends.

~[Hilda and the others]~

"Ah, that bath was lovely~," Hilda says with a content smile on her face as we see her, Frida, and a still-wet Stitch making their way downstairs with the Girls having their towels wrapped around their necks.

"Yeah, it was, and you were right, Stitch is good at washing hair," Frida says with an impressed smile on her face as she brushed her now luscious and shiny hair.

"Told you." A smug Hilda says before noticing that Stitch had his arms crossed with a glare on his face. "What's eating you?"

"Dunga hugga blaba."

"Err, what does that mean, exactly?" Frida asked with a raised eyebrow as she and David haven't been able to learn how to understand Stitch's Alien Language like Hilda weirdly can.

"Meega no like water." Stitch grumbles deadpannedly while getting down on all fours and shook himself around to dry himself off like a dog.

"Stitch!" Hilda and Frida screamed in annoyance due to Stitch accidentally getting them wet as they glared down at the Alien Experiment.

"Ah, this is the life, eh, Jumba?" Pleakley says while still reading from one of his Encyclopedias on Human History as he reached over to grab his tea that materialized out of nowhere and drinks from it.

"Indeed, One-Eyed Noodle," Jumba says while currently working on some type of invention on a workbench that appeared out of nowhere as it also has the normal tools that Jumba likes to use.

"Oh, hey, you guys are back," David says while appearing from another room as he walked over to the trio. "Good news, I was walking around when I found some cool Arcade Room. Want to play?"

"Sure," Frida says with a shrug, not really a big fan of video games but knows that David likes to play with them, so she usually likes to play said games with him.

"Maybe later," Hilda says as she and Stitch walked forward and were surprised to see what seems to be their favorite foods placed on the Coffee Table. "Oh, hey, you made us Dinner. Thanks, guys." Hilda says with Stitch nodding in agreement as they turned to look at Jumba and Pleakley, who stopped what they were doing to turn to the duo confusedly.

"I didn't make anything. Did you, Jumba?"

"No, Jumba was busy making my latest invention," Jumba says as Hilda and Stitch raised an eyebrow confusedly as they turned to David, who shakes his head.

"I didn't. I don't know how to cook." David says as Hilda and Stitch nod before turning to Woodman quizzically as he was reading a newspaper from his chair.

"Don't look at me. I didn't do it." Woodman stated bluntly while briefly lowering his newspaper to address the duo.

"Oh, well, Stitch and I are not hungry, so you guys can help yourselves to the food," Hilda says with Stitch nodding in agreement as they had eaten some cheese and crackers when they were bathing from a plate that appeared out of nowhere.

"Thanks." A grateful David says while walking over to eat with Frida as even Jumba and Pleakley joined in.

"Waka loto yuuga? Od yuuga vene deen ot eta? (What about you? Do you even need to eat?)," Stitch asked Woodman, who turned to him with a glare on his face.

"What a rude thing to say."

"Ih saw a govu melekea! (It was a valid question!)," Stitch shouted irritably as Woodman blankly ignored him and went back to reading his newspaper as 626 growled at him angrily, and Hilda reached out to grab him by his shoulders.

"Calm down, Stitch. Maybe a brisk walk into the Forest will cheer you up, and, hey, who knows? Maybe we'll spot Jumba and Pleakley's Ship in the sky." Hilda says with a shrug as Stitch growls, but nods as the duo walked over to the door and tried to open it...but, weirdly enough, they couldn't as Hilda and Stitch blink a couple of times in confusion. "Huh, that's strange. It won't budge."

"Kuku mala tivi kov?"

"Yes, I am pulling it," Hilda says while tightening her grip on the door handle as she tried twisting it but failed.

"Moku tuva lola tivi, Hilda?"

"No, Woodman's not right, Stitch. City Life hasn't made me weak. The door handle is stuck."

"Reke?"

"Look, why don't you try opening it, Smart Guy?" Hilda says with a glare while letting go of the door handle as she stepped to the side and Stitch rolled his eyes as he moved over to latch onto the door handle and tried to twist it...but failed as 626 blinked a couple of times in shock before growing angry as he sticks himself into the door and tried to use his Superhuman Strength to yank the door handle off, only for nothing to happen as Stitch growled angrily and jumped off from the door as he landed on the ground and summoned his other pair of arms as Experiment 626 began raining a multitude of hard and fast punches at the door, but no matter what he died, the door didn't budge as Stitch's attacks didn't even leave a mark on it. "Not so easy as it looks, huh?"

"Shut up!" Stitch says while whirling around to glare at a smugly grinning Hilda.

"What's going on here?" Pleakley asked as, after he and the others noticed the commotion that Hilda and Stitch were making, they were all quick to stop what they were doing to walk over to the Duo.

"The door won't open."

"What? Let Jumba see about that." Jumba says while walking over to grab the door handle with two of his giant fingers and tried to twist it...but found that he couldn't as his four eyes widened in surprise. "Huh, what do you know. It really can't open."

"You don't know what you're doing. Let someone with small hands handle this." A glaring Pleakley says while shoving Jumba to the side as he walked over to grab the door handle and tried to twist it but failed like the others as his single eye widened in shock and fear as the Octopus-like Alien began frantically trying to open the door. "O-Okay, it's not opening. Why isn't opening? I mean, don't freak out everyone, but seriously...WHY ISN'T THE DOOR OPENING?!" Pleakley screamed panickedly while breathing heavily as Frida raised her arms.

"Guys, guys, relax. Maybe the door is jammed or something. Let's try getting out of here through the window." Frida suggested while pointing at the window as David was quick to walk over and open it as he jumped inside...and ended up falling through another window placed on the other side of the room.

"Uh, that isn't how windows normally work, right?" David asked nervously.

"Okay, seriously, what's going on?" A confused Hilda asked while looking around as Stitch did the same and beamed as he spotted the fireplace.

"Try to go through fireplace!" Stitch ordered as Woodman nodded and turned around as he was about to make his way to the fireplace but stopped as it was suddenly set ablaze with intense heat.

"Yeah, no," Woodman stated bluntly, not wanting to be burnt as Stitch rolled his eyes and made his way over to the fireplace as he climbed inside, not being hurt by the fire at all as he started crawling up it...only to be sent flying back due to a massive gust of wind as Stitch ended up crashing near the others while somehow wearing a Santa Suit and carrying around a large bag filled with presents.

"Uh...Merry Christmas?" Stitch says with a bewildered look on his face as everyone stared down at him oddly before Hilda shakes her head as she pointed upstairs.

"Maybe we can get out through the attic! Everyone, to the second floor, quick!" Hilda ordered as everyone nodded, and, after Stitch ripped away his Santa Clothes, the group was quick to run upstairs as they continued climbing and climbing and climbing and climbing and climbing and climbing and climbing and climbing and climbing and climbing, but then the group realized that this was a second-story house and not a ten-story house as Stitch stopped in his tracks and allowed the others to continue climbing as they went back to him a few seconds later.

"What the-What the bloody hell is going on?!" A freaked-out Frida asked, wondering why they seem to be going in circles as, before anyone could react, a door magically materialized in front of them, and the gang shared a wary look, but due to not wanting to continue climbing up the stairs for all eternity, Hilda and the others decided to venture into the mysterious room after opening the door.

Arriving in what seemed to be a long hallway, the Group ran ahead the long corridor as they looked around and were surprised to see various framed pictures of their loved ones as Hilda briefly paused at the sight of the picture of her Parents, Joanna and Martin, hugging each other with loving smiles on their faces as she teared up it and placed her hand on the picture as Stitch placed his hand on her back to comfort her and then the duo spotted other pictures of Roland and Amun, Twig and Ivy, Logan and Marcus, the Great Raven, Alfur and Astrid, Daemon and Nero. Frida and David gasped a bit as they spotted a couple of pictures of their Parents, and Pleakley winced at the sight of the pictures of his Father, Mother, and Siblings, Pixley and Bertley Plekaley. Walking ahead, Woodman winced at the sight of the picture of his old Wife, and Jumba smiled at the sight of the picture of his Mother but then flinched as he saw the picture of his Bitch of an Ex-Wife as well as the various pictures of all of Stitch's 625 Experimental Siblings as Jumba and Woodman quickly knocked down all of the pictures to the floor and turned to each other with looks that read, 'Let us NEVER speak about this again'.

"Ladder!" Stitch shouted while pointing at the end of the hallway that leads to what seems to be the attic as the group was quick to run over to it and climbed up to the attic...only to end up directly back into the First Floor Living Room as Jumba and Frida looked around in pure shock.

"What the-How does that even make sense?!"

"Jumba wants to know what kind of Demon House this place is?!" Jumba asked with a fearful tone as David gulped nervously.

"I-I don't know, but I don't think it wants us to leave."

"Understatement of the century," Pleakley says with a sarcastic yet still scared tone.

"Wait, do you think that's why it tried so hard to make us so comfortable?" Woodman asked with a weirdly anxious tone in his voice that Hilda has never heard before in her life. "With the tea, the books, the lab equipment, the orange juice, the bath, the food?"

"Ih," Stitch says just as what seems to be a large buffet appeared behind them as the group shared a wary look while Hilda groaned loudly and facepalmed.

"I TOLD you guys that coming here was a bad idea..."

~[Logan and the others]~

"Okay, is this where you last saw Hilda and the others?" Logan asked with crossed arms as we see him and the others standing in the clearing from where the gang fought off the Forest Giant as said giant was staring down at them nervously while twiddling his thumbs around.

"Y-Yes, it is, but I don't know where they went because that little Furry Blue Alien knocked me out. That's the truth, I swear." The Forest Giant says fearfully while raising his hands as Daemon stared up at him with narrowed eyes as the Demon Prince then nodded.

"Good, now get out of here," Daemon says with a growl as the Forest Giant beamed and nodded anxiously as he turned around to run away.

"Okay, so good news, that giant was telling the truth. I'm picking up Stitch's Power Cell Signal, and he's close, really close, so let's go." Joanna says while briefly glancing down at the handheld tracker as she then ran off, and the others followed after her.


"Book...cushion...white cowboy hat," Woodman says lazily while strumming his guitar on his chair as we see him and an annoyed Hilda and Stitch sitting on the chair with Jumba and Frida standing near the wall of the Cabin in the Woods and studying it closely as David and Pleakley were pacing around nervously.

"Can you please stop doing that? It's quite distracting." Hilda says with a glare as Woodman conjured up a cushion behind his back, a book in Stitch's hands, and a white cowboy hat on Hilda's head.

"Hey, we're stuck here. We might as well take advantage of the situation." Woodman says while turning his head as a loaf of bread appeared beside him. "There must be something you guys need."

"What we NEED is a way to get out of here," Hilda says sharply while taking off her hat as Stitch threw away his book and turned to Jumba and Frida.

"Waka moka lululo, Jumba, ih Frida? (What's the situation, Jumba, and Frida?)," Stitch asked as said people turned to him with serious frowns on their faces.

"Okay, so what we have gathered, this House is obviously magical in nature and can lure in unexpected visitors and keeps them trapped inside," Frida says with her arms crossed.

"While the trapped visitors are inside of it, the House will provide them with anything they wish for, which it can conjure up out of nothing. However, it will never let its victims escape if possible." Jumba says with a glare.

"To this end, the house will lock up, teleport victims back inside if they try to escape through the windows, and change its entire interior to confuse its victims."

"It also appears to be able to read the victim's mind as it was able to know our loved ones and put them into picture frames inside the house for some weird reason," Jumba added in as Pleakley couldn't help but scoff with a groan.

"Great, so we're not only held hostage in some kind of Demon House, but it can read our minds? We have to get out of here."

"And how do you propose that, Genius?" Frida says with a scowl while rolling her eyes as she and Jumba were unable to figure out the House's weakness yet, so they didn't believe that Pleakley could.

"Errr...well...how about we have the Little Monster here smash our way out?" Pleakley suggested while pointing at Stitch as David shrugged.

"It's worth a shot. What do you say, Stitch?" David asked while he and the others turned to Stitch as he glanced at Hilda hopefully.

"Kata baka dooka? (May I be destructive?)," Stitch asked as Hilda nodded.

"Yes, you can," Hilda says as Stitch grinned and summoned his alien appendages as he jumped into the air and a panicking Jumba and Frida frantically ran away as Stitch collided against the wall of the cabin so hard that a mini shockwave rang out, and the roaring Experiment began delivering multiple powerful attacks on the wall that would've easily destroyed ten buildings all at once, but, much to his shock, once the smoke cleared up, Stitch and the others saw that there wasn't even a scratch on the wall.

"Well, so much for that idea..." David says with a pout as everyone groans.

"I don't get what the big deal is. Anyone would KILL to live in a place like this, so what's the problem?" Woodman asked as Hilda turned to glare at him.

"Maybe because we were trapped here against our will!" Hilda screamed just as several of Hilda's favorite things appeared beside her as she kicked them away irritably. "Stop trying to bribe me, House! I don't want any of this stupid stuff! I want to see my Mum and-,"

"Whoa! What's with all the yelling, my Little Blue Pebble." A Familiar Voice Rang Out, causing Hilda to pause at what she said with a stunned expression on her face as Stitch and the others looked around confusedly.

"Uh, waka wii viv? (Uh, what was that?)," Stitch asked with a raised eyebrow as Hilda said nothing and her pupils shrank a bit as she felt her heart beat rapidly and her senses dulled out the others' voices as Hilda jumped off her chair and, with a nervous yet hopeful gulp, Hilda slowly turned around as her eyes widened in pure shock/happiness at the sight of her Father, Martin, standing near the doorway with a warm smile on his face.

"Da...Da...Da..." Hilda mumbled, her mind absolutely being shut down by the sight of her seemingly alive Father as Frida stared at Martin suspiciously and turned to her Best Friend.

"Uh, Hilda? Do you know who this guy is?" Frida asked while staring at Martin, who seemed slightly physically different from his appearance in the Flashback in Chapter 8 as he looked to be 27 years old with longer spikey blue hair and a small blue beard as his outfit consisted of an unbuttoned green/black collard-jacket with a white shirt underneath, black jeans, and dark brown boots.

"Yeah, Little Pebble, do you know who I am?" Martin asked teasingly while going down on one knee as Hilda teared up and placed her hands on her mouth as she choked back a sob and trembled.

"Da...Da...DADDY!" Hilda screamed gleefully while running over to Martin as she leaped into his arms and hugged him while crying into his chest as Martin smiled amusedly and chuckled as he stood up from the floor while holding his Daughter in his arms.

"Heh, I wasn't able to hug you like this ever since you were Five," Martin says as Hilda chuckled with a sob while separating from him as she brushed away her tears.

"Is Jumba the only one that is REALLY confused right now?" A surprised Jumba asked the others, who shakes their heads as they had their jaws dropped.

"N-No, trust me, we're just as confused as you are," Frida says with a sweatdrop as she and the others were still reeling from the fact that Hilda's Dad was apparently alive.

"Dad, I can't believe it, you're alive! You're okay!" A happy Hilda exclaimed while hugging her Father by his neck as she kissed him on the cheek.

"Ha, ha, of course, I'm alive. Why wouldn't I be?" Martin says as Hilda tilted her head at him confusedly.

"What do you mean? You don't remember how you died?"

"Do you?" Martin asked with his features suddenly turning serious as he stared at his Daugther, dead in the eye.

"What?"

"I mean, who are your new friends there, Hilda?" Martin asked while gesturing at Stitch and the others as Hilda beamed and nodded as Martin sets his Daughter down on the ground.

"Oh, Dad, I can't wait for you to meet my Friends! I always wanted you to meet them!" An excited Hilda says while grabbing Martin's hand as she leads him over to the others.

"Daddy, these are the New Friends that I've made in Trollberg. This is Frida and this is David." Hilda says while pointing at Frida and David, who awkwardly waved at him while sharing an anxious look. "And these are our new Family Members, Jumba, Pleakley, and Stitch." An exhilarated Hilda says while gesturing at the Aliens, who greeted him weakly as they didn't know how to respond to this situation.

"Ooh, wow, you've certainly been quite busy since I've been gone, huh?" Martin says with a smile while bending down to his Daughter's eye level as Hilda turned to smile at him widely while practically bouncing up and down in her happiness with tears of joy running down her face as she wiped them away.

"Oh, Daddy, you've no idea how much I missed you and how thrilled I am for you to be here and meet my New Friends and Family like I've always hoped. Oh, I wished that Mum was here to see this."

"Did you call me, sweetie?" A Familiar Voice Rang Out as everyone looked ahead and was surprised to see a smiling Joanna standing near the doorway.

"Mum! Good, you found us!" Hilda yelled while running over to her Mum as Stitch and the others stared at this in flabbergastment. "Look, Mum, Dad's alive! He's here! He's back!" Hilda screamed, looking like a kid stuck in Disney World with no lines and free toys, as she grabbed Joanna's arm and led her over to Martin.

"He, he, you look pretty happy, Honey," Joanna asked with a giggle as Hilda stared up at her in disbelief.

"Happy? Of course, I'm happy, Mum! Dad's back! Our family is whole again!" Hilda exclaimed with her lips trembling a bit and her eyes welling up with tears as she reached over to grab her Parents' arms. "C-Can we please just sit down and have some tea and...talk? There's so much that I have to tell you, Dad."

"Ha, ha, sure, dear, that sounds lovely. I don't mind staying here in this lovely Cabin forever. Right, dear?" Martin asked Joanna as she nodded with a smile.

"Indeed, hubby. Now, give Mama some sugar~," Joanna says with half-lid eyes while moving over to wrap her arms around Martin's shoulders as they lean in to kiss each other passionately, much to the shock of everyone as a surprised Hilda moved over to separate them.

"Whoa, whoa, guys, wait, I don't think it's right that you get together yet. Mum, don't you remember that you're dating Mr. Trenton? Don't you think that you should at least break up with him first?" Hilda asked tentatively as Joanna glanced down at her while tilting her head lightly.

"Oh, Roland? What about him? We're here and together in this Cabin. Let's forget about him and talk, dear." Joanna says while closing her eyes with a smile as Hilda stared up at her oddly.

"Huh, that's strange. I mean, I know that Joanna cares about Martin, but she also cares about Roland. Why would she just ditch him like that?" A bewildered Pleakley whispered to the others as they nodded.

"Indeed. Jumba has only known Brown-Haired Woman for nearly a year, but even Jumba knows that she would never do that." Jumba says as Frida placed her hand on her chin suspiciously.

"Hmmm, something about this seems weird."

"Yeah, especially when Hilda's Mum and Dad just appeared out of nowhere like that," David added in as Woodman nodded while crossing his arms.

"I know, right? It's almost as if they had been magically conjured into existence like..." Woodman says before trailing off as his eyes widened in grim realization, and he wasn't the only one as the others caught on to what he said and had horrified/shocked looks on their faces.

"Y-Yougga guys, don't think-,"

"No, no, I mean, that can't happen, right?" A disbelieving and worried Frida says as Pleakley nodded shakily with a gulp.

"Yeah, I mean, I know the Cabin can conjure up objects, but you guys don't think that it can also conjure..." Pleakley trails off due to feeling his throat swell up from the implications of what the Cabin can truly do as a stoic Jumba stepped forward.

"Just to be sure, 626? Use your X-Ray Vision on them." Jumba says while pointing at Hilda's Parents as Stitch nods and turned to face them as he activated his X-Ray Vision, and what he saw made his eyes widen in shock as 626 gasps before growing serious as he walked over to grab Hilda's arm.

"S-Stich, what are you-,"

"Hilda, those not Parents. They fake." Stitch says while tugging Hilda away from a confused Joanna and Martin.

"What? What are you talking about? How could they be fake?" A puzzled, angry Hilda asked while placing her hands on her hips after Stitch lets go of her arm.

"Listen to him, Hilda. Stitch's onto something," David says as Frida nodded.

"Yeah, Hils, think about it. Your Dad has been dead for almost 4 years now and he suddenly showed up out of the blue in this Cabin? As well as your Mum? That doesn't add up." Frida says while shaking her head as Pleakley stepped forward.

"Plus, look at the way they act. They just seem...less Human than normal." Pleakley says while pointing at Joanna and Martin, who had stood side to side with big and wide smiles on their faces as they look more like mannequins than real humans.

"Guys, please, you're acting crazy. Sure, this whole thing is crazy, but-,"

"Hilda...those aren't your Parents," Woodman stated bluntly but with a worried tone as he walked over to place his hand on Hilda's shoulder. "What you see right now aren't your real Parents. I hate to break it to you, Kid, but those two are simply creations made by this Cabin." Woodman says as Hilda stared at him in shock and anger as she slapped away his arm.

"What?! No, no, that can't be true! I-I mean, yeah, the Cabin can conjure up stuff and...I-I suppose what you guys said earlier could be true, but this doesn't make sense. I-," Hilda says before being interrupted by Stitch as he walked forward with a serious yet somber look on his face. "Stitch? What are you-,"

"Sorry, Hilda," Stitch says while turning to her sorrowfully before turning to Joanna and Rolland as he raised his hand. "Go away!" Stitch ordered with a glare as, before anyone could react, Joanna and Martin's bodies suddenly broke up and blew up into a billion pieces of light pink magical energy as they flew over to phase into the walls of the Cabin.

"No..." Hilda says quietly with tears running down her eyes as she ran over to slam her fists into the wall. "No, no, no, please! Don't leave me again! Come back! Dad! Please!" Hilda screamed while slamming her fists into the wall with tears still running down her eyes as it was now that she realized what the others said was true, and her Dad never really returned as it was just the Cabin conjuring him up to please her.

"H-Hilda?" Stitch asked concernedly with the others walking over to her as Hilda gritted her teeth, and more tears welled up in her eyes as she turned to the others and started breathing heavily as the Blue-Haired Girl turned around to run away.

"Hilda!" Everyone shouted while running after the heartbroken child as the gang made their way up the stairs and followed a crying Hilda, who ran into a room and locked herself inside as Stitch and the others appeared by the door.

"Hilda? Hilda, please open the door." A worried Pleakley says while knocking on the door as Frida nodded.

"Yes, please, we just want to talk." Frida says as she and the others waited for Hilda's response and what they heard broke their hearts as they heard their Friend crying quietly as Stitch turned to the others and gave them a look that says, 'Let me talk to her first', as Frida, David, Jumba, Pleakley, and even Woodman nodded somberly as Stitch turned back to the door and mentally commanded it to open for him as the Cabin followed his demand and opened the door.

"Go away!" Hilda screamed with her face smushed against her pillow as the Depressed-Looking Eleven-year-old Girl could be seen lying on her bed and was currently bawling her eyes out as Stitch gave her a sympathetic frown and mentally commanded the Cabin to close the door behind him as he walked over to stand beside her.

"Stitch, sorry." Experiment 626 says guiltily, causing Hilda to momentarily stop her crying to raise her head from her pillows and lie her poofy red eyes on her Best Friend.

"W-What?"

"Meega sorry that Stitch made Hilda sad," Stitch says with his ears dropping down in sadness as Hilda blinked a couple of times in confusion before remembering what happened earlier as she sniffled and sat up from the bed.

"N-No, no, it's okay. I'm not mad at you, Stitch. It's just...well...I was really hoping that my Dad really did come back, but I was really stupid to think that, huh?" Hilda asked rhetorically with a bitter frown while pulling up her knees close to her chest as she lowered her head and her long blue hair covered her face.

"Naga, Hilda no dumb." Stitch says while walking over to climb onto the bed as he sat beside his friend and reaches up to rub his hand across Hilda's blue locks. "Cabin made Mum and Dad. Tricked you."

"Maybe, but-,"

"No buts. Cabin is evil. Made Hilda think Dad alive. Meega nala kwesta, Cabin." Stitch says sternly as Hilda snorted a bit but still hid her face as Stitch saw this and sighed heavily. "Moova, Hilda, Meega louve sis whoola veve saw tororo nad ruyuko nad Meega louve hat youga simsi yuuger Dad os munch, tota youga cata tel vis caca Cabin teg tutu momo yuuger hev. (Look, Hilda, I know this whole event was traumatizing and everything and I know that you miss your Dad so much, but you can't let this stupid Cabin get into your head.),"

"I-I know, Stitch, but...it's hard, okay?!" Hilda snapped while raising her head to glare at him as Stitch flinched again. "It's hard to pretend that I'm okay because the truth is I'm not. I thought I had moved on from my Dad's Death, but seeing him again earlier, how he sounded, how warm his hugs were, and how nice and gentle he was, I just...can't help but to remember how heartbroken I was when Mum told me that Dad passed away in his sleep from a heart attack. I-I just don't get it, Stitch. Why did my Dad have to die? Him. The greatest Father that a Daughter could ever ask for." Hilda says before tearing up again as she lowered her head into her arms and begins crying again as Stitch looks a little bit lost for words, not knowing how to properly comfort his friend without upsetting her again as, thankfully, the others decided to come in and try to help out as they all mentally commanded the Cabin to open up the door and walked into the room.

"Hilda," Jumba says, surprising everyone in the room since this was the first time that he had ever said her name as a shocked Hilda stopped crying and turned to him in disbelief as Jumba stepped forward and sat down on the bed, which magically grew to accommodate his large size. "Jumba...I know how it feels to lose a Family Member because, when I was around your Age, I lost my Father.

"R-Really?" A stunned Hilda asked due to Jumba never really telling anyone about his past since he seems secretive about it for some weird reason.

"Yes, because, you see, like me, my Father was a brilliant Evil Genius. He was the one who inspired me to become a Scientist and the one who taught me how to create machines and whatnot, but then one day, Mother and I received news that Father had died in a lab accident." Jumba says while closing his eyes solemnly and lowering her head as he felt a massive wave of emotional pain hit his body like a freight train.

"Oh, Jumba..." Frida mumbles under her breath sympathetically as a gasping David placed his hand on his heart while Pleakley and Woodman stayed silent, but it was clear that they were feeling Jumba's pain.

"J-Jumba, I-I don't know," Hilda says as Jumba opened his eyes and laughed somberly under his breath.

"Yeah, well, I never told you about this, so it makes sense, but I'm telling you now because...well, I know how you feel. While I know that it wasn't my fault that my Father had perished, but-,"

"You still feel guilty because you know that you would've done something to prevent it if you were there?" Hilda asked rhetorically with her tone sounding melancholy and knowingly as Jumba nodded.

"Exactly. While I was only a Youngling, I still feel like it was my fault that my Father died." Jumba says as Pleakley suddenly appeared and went over to sit down beside Jumba.

"Uh, if I may, while I won't lie and say that I know what you guys are going through, I can at least relate to losing a Family Member and feeling responsible for it because, you see, when I was young, my Parents went through a divorce," Pleakley says, shocking the group as he glances down sadly. "I mean, it was bound to happen because my Parents kept arguing and such, and, while I won't go into detail on why they split up, one thing I can say is that I felt responsible for what happened since I felt they only separated because of me."

"O-Oh, wow, so you two do know how I'm feeling right now." A surprised Hilda says while drying away her tears as Jumba nods.

"Yes, indeed, and do you want to know how I was able to move on from my pain?" Jumba asked as Hilda nodded eagerly. "It was thanks to my Mother. Sure, she didn't completely remove my pain as, even to this day, I still miss my Father, but my Mother was able to help me through the healing process and helped me realize that I can get past my Father's Death and move on with my life by fulfilling my dream of becoming an Evil Genius just like him." Jumba says with a warm smile appearing on his face as an equally Pleakley nods in agreement.

"Yeah, my Mom helped me heal as well. Even my Dad and Siblings helped out too. Yeah, they may be a bit overbearing and protective, but they helped me realize that there is a way out of the darkness that once consumed me and helped me realize that there is a way for me to be able to see inside of myself and realize that my Parents' Divorce wasn't caused because of me at all. It was only thanks to talking to my Family that helped me finally heal." Pleakley says as Hilda glanced at him and Jumba in shock, unable to comprehend their simple yet oddly complicated solutions as Frida and David decided to step in and say what they wanted to say.

"Hils, while David and I don't know what you're going through exactly, what we DO know is...that you are someone that we care about deeply. Sure, you sometimes drive us crazy with your weird and crazy antics, but we can't imagine our lives without you." Frida says sincerely while placing her hands over her heart as David nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, you made our lives fun. Without you around, Frida and I would be bored to tears without having to go on dangerous yet thrilling adventures."

"And you have also taught us how to be a better version of ourselves. Like, you taught me to be less uptight about everything and go with the flow. That not everything needs to be planned out and such as long as you're having fun with your friends."

"You have also taught me how to be brave during scary situations, and, since you helped us out a lot, we want to help you out in exchange," David says while walking over to place his hand on Hilda's right shoulder as Frida did the same with her left shoulder.

"Yeah, Hils, we want to help you with getting over your Father's Death because you are our friend, and we deeply care about you. No matter how hard it gets, we will always stick by your side and help you out, no matter what." Frida says earnestly as Stitch reached over to place his hand over Hilda's hand.

"Stitch help Hilda just like Hilda saved Stitch." Stitch stated firmly yet warmly, wanting to help out the Girl who had changed his worldview and turned him from a Monster to someone cute and cuddly as an awkward-looking Woodman stepped forward.

"Hilda, I...I just want to say..." Woodman says before trailing off anxiously as he rubbed the back of his nonexistent neck, not knowing what to say or what to do, so he decided to simply go all in and made his way over to hug an incredibly stunned Hilda. "I...care...about...you..." Woodman grunted out, feeling uncomfortable with what he said, but the Blue-Haired Girl could easily tell that he meant every word as she felt tears of joy well up in her eyes and her lips trembled, feeling truly touched by what everyone said as she cried.

"I love you guys so much!" Hilda screamed while hugging Woodman back as everyone smiled and teared up as they made their way over to join in the hug.

"We love you too, Hilda." Stitch and the others say in unison as a blushing red Woodman grunts in embarrassment.

"Choking, not breathing."

"Oh, you're made of wood. Don't ruin the moment." Stitch scolded with a glare as Hilda giggled and separated from the hug as she wiped away her tears.

"Thanks, guys, really. I feel a lot better now."

"You're welcome, Hilda," Pleakley says reassuringly as a grinning Jumba placed his hands on his hips.

"So, Blue-Haired Girl, Jumba thinks it's time to leave this place, once and for all. Don't you agree?"

"Oh, yes, please," Hilda says eagerly while she and the others noticed that Jumba went back to his usual way of speaking but didn't mind as they preferred him to talk like his usual self. "I want to get out of here as soon as possible and never see this horrid place again."

"Agreed." Everyone said at the same time with a glare, including Woodman as, while the place was really comfortable to him, even he was furious that the Mysterious Cabin played with Hilda's feelings like that.

"So, how do we-," David asked before getting cut off by what seemed to be a ding-dong noise coming from downstairs.

"Uh, what was that?" A weirded-out Frida asked.

"That...That sounded like someone was ringing the doorbell." Hilda says while blinking a couple of times as she then reached up to dry away her tears.

"Wait...weren't we just staying here long enough for the others to come and rescue us by tracking down Stitch's Power Signal?" Pleakley asked slowly.

"Yeah, which means that's probably them waiting for us outside of this Cabin," Jumba added in.

"Which also means that they are able to open the door for us and help free us from this place," Woodman says.

"Ih." Stitch says with a nod as the Group shared a look...before jumping off from the bed as they basically bolted out of the room and ran through the hallway as Hilda, Stitch, and the others zoomed down the stairs and appeared back on the First Floor as they looked up and gasped in joy/hope as they spotted Joanna and Roland bursting the door open as Logan and the others could be seen standing near them.

"Mum!"

"Hilda!"

"Stitch!"

"Mr. Trenton!"

"Jumba!"

"Shape-Shifting Man!"

"Pleakley!"

"Marcus!"

"Frida!"

"Daemon!"

"David!"

"The Great Raven" Hilda, Joanna, Roland, Stitch, Logan, Jumba, Marcus, Pleakley, Daemon, The Great Raven, and David all screamed in unison, happy to see each other as an annoyed Woodman huffed.

"And Woodman is here as well..."

"Yeah, the same with Astrid, Alfur, Amun, Twig, Ivy, and Nero," Astrid added in irritably.

"Man, why do people keep forgetting us?" Alfur says with an angry glare as Woodman, Astrid, Amun, Twig, Ivy, and Nero nod in agreement before the group started making their way into the Cabin, much to the horror of Hilda, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Frida, David, and Woodman raised their hands panickedly.

"Wait, wait, wait! Stop! Don't let the door..." Hilda and the others screamed before getting interrupted by the Cabin slamming the door shut once everyone was inside. "...close." Hilda and the others said with a groan as Joanna and the rest of the group raised an eyebrow at them confusedly.

"Uh, what's going on, guys?" A bewildered Logan asked as Hilda and Stitch closed their eyes and sighed heavily.

"Don't worry, we will explain everything."

"Ih, sit over there." Stitch commanded while pointing at the chairs as Joanna and the others nodded before everyone went over to sit down on the chairs.

~[SpongeBob's French Narrator: 30 Minutes Later]~

"...So, wait, this Cabin is magical in nature and can fulfill your greatest desire, but the cost is that you're not allowed to leave?" Joanna asked as Hilda and the others had finished explaining to the others about the situation.

"Pepe tuve, yeh (Pretty much, yeah)," Stitch says dryly as Alfur gasps in amazement.

"How peculiar. Anything you want?"

"Seems that way," Woodman says with a shrug.

"So...all I have to do is ask for a blank notebook, and it will-Oh!" Alfur says before exclaiming in surprise as a blank notebook appeared in his hands.

"Or say something shiny?" The Great Raven asked with a shrug as a gold chain appeared around his neck. "Oooh!"

"A new mirror!" Marcus shouted as a mirror appeared in front of him. "Oh, sweet!" Marcus says with a grin while shapeshifting into various handsome/beautiful people as he posed playfully.

"A huge battle ax with a missile launcher and a tiger attached to it!" Astrid screamed excitedly as said weapon appeared in her arms, and the Warrior Elf laughs giddily.

"I don't think you even have to say it," Woodman added in as Amun, Twig, and Ivy shared a look and nodded as the Phoenix wished for a big juicy cooked chicken in front of him and begins eating it as the Male Deer-Fox summoned a doggy toy in front of him and began eagerly playing with it while the Female Deer-Fox summoned a large comfy dog bed in front of her as she was quick to sleep in it.

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I don't feel comfortable in conjuring up anything from this creepy place," Joanna says while hugging herself with a shiver as Roland nodded in agreement.

"Indeed," Logan says while looking around with a glare as Joanna suddenly turned to Woodman.

"Oh, and also, Woodman? We met up with a Forest Giant earlier, and he said you bet Hilda and the others and let the Forest Giant take them away when you lost, right?"

"Yes, why-Ow!" Woodman says before yelping in pain as an angry-looking Joanna proceeds to bitch-slapped his head off his body and sends it crashing into a small chest. "Ugh, like Mother like Daughter, I suppose..." Woodman grumbles with a blank glare as his headless body went over to grab its head and put it back in its usual place.

"Hmmm, I can feel the evil magical energy around us, and I don't like it," Daemon says while stepping forward as he narrowed his eyes stoically. "We need to leave this place immediately."

"I'm so glad that you guys feel the same as we do." A thankful Hilda says as Stitch nods.

"Ih, this evil Cabin. Made Hilda cry."

"Wait, what?" A surprised Joanna asked as everyone turned to Hilda.

"Did the Cabin do something to you, Madam?" Daemon asked with worry in his eyes as Hilda blushed awkwardly and waved off everyone's concerns.

"It's okay, everyone. Stitch and the others already comforted me, so we need to figure out a way out of here."

"But the question is how," David asked as Frida nodded.

"Yeah, so far, we haven't determined what the Cabin's weakness is."

"Don't worry, guys. I'm sure that we can come up with something," Hilda says as Stitch nods.

"Ih, we just need to think," Stitch says as he and Hilda placed their hands on their chins as they hummed thoughtfully, trying to figure out a way to get everyone out of the Magic Cabin, but got distracted by said magical house trying to please them by summoning more and more of their favorite objects, much to their annoyance as Hilda and Stitch glared up at the ceiling.

"Grrrr, can you please stop that?!"

"Iha, yuuga catait vovu loka su luko hat! (Yeah, you can't bribe us that easily!)," Stitch shouted with a growl as Hilda nodded with a furious scowl on her face.

"Yeah! It doesn't matter if you give me a Book about Trolls!"

"Dozens of Caffeine Bottles!"

"New Colored Pencils!"

"A Book about the Ugly Duckling!"

"Cucumber sandwiches!"

"Troll-Based Punching Bags!"

"Or all of our favorite things because...YOU WILL NEVER BE OUR HOME!" Hilda and Stitch screamed in unison while conjuring up a Book about Trolls, Dozens of Caffeine Bottles, New Colored Pencils, A Book about the Ugly Duckling, Cucumber sandwiches, and Troll-Based Punching Bags around them as, before anyone could react, all of the items around them started glitching around and Hilda and Stitch spot this as they narrowed their eyes suspiciously before they gasped and shared a look as they beamed.

"Everybody, request more things!"

"Wait, what? Why?" A puzzled Roland asked.

"Trust weega! Conjure up stuff!"

"Yeah, Stitch's right. It doesn't matter what it is. Just start requesting stuff as fast as you can!" Hilda ordered as the group shared a look, but nodded as all of them closed their eyes and hummed in concentration as Hilda and Stitch summoned what seems to be a mini version of Jumba and Pleakley's Spaceship, Jumba summoned a stylish black wig that appeared on his bald head, Pleakley summoned a walk-in closet filled with a bunch of fabulous-looking clothes, Frida summoned multiple sashes filled with tons of Sparrow Scout Badges, David summoned multiple pictures of cute animals, Joanna summoned several cute-looking scarves, Roland summoned various magically based items, Marcus summoned more and more mirrors, Daemon summoned various demon-looking furniture, Nero summoned several bags filled with bird seed, the Great Raven summoned a bunch of food, Alfur summoned a bunch of books and paperwork, Astrid summoned several dangerous-looking weapons, and Twig and Ivy summoned various doggy chew toys.

"Oh, look! Hilda and Stitch's plan is working! Everything is disappearing!" A happy Logan exclaimed as he and the others noticed that various objects keep glitching in and out of reality.

"Interesting, so it seems that the Cabin is having trouble granting its hostages' desires if all of them are making requests at the same time. Brilliant deduction there, Madam." Daemon says with a wink as Hilda blushed at the praise and giggles.

"He, he, thanks," Hilda says before noticing that Woodman is the only one not thinking up stuff as she turned to him. "Come on, Woodman, we need your help!"

"Ah, ah, ah, just a moment." Woodman says while holding up a finger as he looks down in thought. "I'm trying to imagine the perfect end table."

"WOODMAN!"

"Alright, alright, geez," Woodman says while rolling his eyes as he imagined an end table beside him. "Hmmm, the grain could be better, but it has to do for now," Woodman says with a shrug before noticing that everyone was glaring at him frostily as he sighs and joined in with the others as they all began imagining various objects that they could think off and, after five minutes of doing this, the whole room was covered with random junk.

"Uh, Hilda, I'm having trouble thinking up stuff I want." The Great Raven says while popping his head out of the mountain of junk as the others did the same.

"Ditto," Marcus says.

"Me three," David added in.

"Guys, you don't always have to think of different objects. Just do what I do and imagine the same thing over and over again." Frida instructed as the group nodded and began thinking of conjuring up the same object over and over again, but the gang slowly realized that more items seem to be disappearing faster than they could think of an item to show up.

"Oh, cheeseballs! Guys, I think we're losing here!" Roland screamed.

"Don't give up, Mr. Trenton! We almost defeated it!" Hilda yelled.

"But things keep disappearing faster than we can think! We can't keep up!" Alfur exclaimed as Stitch hummed in thought, and an idea appeared in his head as he closed his eyes in concentration and began summoning multitudes of various objects that he had seen in his short life at a pace much faster than everyone combined as Jumba gasped realization.

"Oh, why didn't we think of this sooner?! Stitch literally has a brain that is literally smarter than a Supercomputer!"

"Which means that he can think faster than all of us! Brilliant idea, Stitch!" Joanna congratulated with a smile as Stitch ignored her and continued summoning more and more objects with the Cabin not being fast enough to take away the objects that the Alien Experiment has conjured up as the area around them began glitching wildly, and everyone closed their eyes and ducked for cover as the Magical Cabin shook violently and it continued glitching and glitching and glitching, until-

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THAT IS IT!" A Loud Voice Rang Out all around them as, before the gang could react, the wall beside them glitched away, and all of them were violently ejected out of the Cabin as Hilda, Stitch, and the others crashed down into the ground with their summoned objects crashing down around them as the wall appeared again and the front of the Cabin suddenly morphed around as it gains a pair of red pupilless eyes and a crooked mouth as it snarled at them furiously.

"I TRIED TO BE NICE, I TRIED TO BE PATIENT, I TRIED TO GIVE EVERYTHING YOU ALL WANTED, BUT ALL OF YOU ARE SO DAMN UNGRATEFUL! WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF IT! IF YOU GUYS WANT TO LIVE IN A NORMAL, SHITTY HOUSE, THEN FINE BY ME! I'M OUT, BITCHES!" The Mysterious Cabin screamed before its face disappeared as the Cabin glowed with bright pink magical energy, and, before anyone could react, the Cabin teleported away with a big pink flash of light as, once it does down, the Group saw that the Mysterious Cabin had completely disappeared with no trace of its existence as if it was never really there and even all the stuff that they have all conjured up had been magically whisked away as well.

"...Wha...Wha...What just happened?" A heavily confused Pleakley asked as the others slowly blinked in confusion.

"I...uh...don't know...but hey, at least we're free, right?" Logan asked with a grin as everyone beamed and cheered as Hilda, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Joanna, Roland, Logan, and Marcus ran over to share a family hug while Frida, David, and Daemon shared a high five as the Great Raven, Nero, and Woodman nodded to each other as Twig and Ivy nuzzled against each other as Astrid even kissed a shocked Alfur, who proceeded to faint as she giggled amusedly.

"Oh, Hilda, I'm so happy that you're okay. I was so worried about you." Joanna says as she and the others let go of each other as Hilda stared up at her guiltily.

"We're sorry that we left home, Mum, when the storm was still happening and that we got lost in the Woods. It's just that-,"

"Hey, don't worry, Hilda. Mr. Trenton, and I were informed about what happened, so since you all saved the City and now that we're all safe, we decided to let you all off with a warning...this time," Joanna says while glaring at Logan, Jumba, and Pleakley as they sweated nervously and laughed awkwardly.

"Anyway, since it's pretty late, it's time for all of us to go back home and reassure your parents that you're all okay," Roland says with a smile while gesturing at Frida and David as everyone nods.

"Indeed. To the ship!" Jumba exclaimed with everyone cheering loudly as the Group walked ahead, except for Hilda, Stitch, Woodman, the Great Raven, Daemon, and Nero as they stated behind.

"So what about you guys?" Stitch asked curiously as the Great Raven shrugged.

"Eh, now that I know you guys are safe and the storm has gone away, I should get back to my flock. See you guys another time." The Great Raven says with a playful wink before transforming into his Giant Form as he took off into the air and disappeared from sight as everyone waved at him goodbye before a sheepish Hila turned to give Daemon an apologetic look.

"Well, uh, I'm sorry that things never went according to plan, Daemon, and-,"

"Are you kidding me? I haven't had more fun in forever, Madam. While I was, of course, worried about you for a while, I knew deep in my heart that you were resourceful enough to survive, and I was proven right. Until next time we meet, my lady." Daemon says while reaching over to grab Hilda's hand as he kissed it and winks at her flirtatiously, causing her to swoon a bit as Daemon then turned around to walk away with Nero flying after his Master as they phase into the forest and teleported away.

"Heh, wow, Stitch, we sure have a good life, huh? Imagine if we never met and we never moved to the city. Life sure is something crazy, isn't it?" Hilda asked Stitch, who nodded with a smile.

"Ih, we made a lot of new friends and family at our new home."

"Well, obviously," Woodman says sarcastically with an eye roll, reminding the duo that they weren't alone as they turned to him. "But soon, you will possibly move to another home and make some new friends and whatnot, but that doesn't mean that you leave your other homes behind. The Wilderness will always be a part of you just like how Trollberg is now a part of your life now."

"Yeah, and don't worry, Woodman, after this, I will definitely make sure to visit the Woods more often and visit you more frequently as well. I missed you too, you know?" Hilda says playfully as Woodman stared at her quietly for a few seconds before suddenly moving over to hug her as her eyes widened in surprise.

"I missed you too, and I'm happy that you will visit me more often and I know you will do. That's why we're such good friends." Woodman says before letting go of her as he turned around to walk away.

"Oh my gosh! You said it! It took you years to do so, but you finally admitted that we're friends!" Hilda exclaimed gleefully while bouncing up and down excitedly as Stitch laughed mockingly.

"Woodman loves Hilda! Woodman loves Hilda! Woodman loves Hilda!"

"Yes, and soon, I will replace you as her new Best Friend, so you better be vigilant, you ugly monster," Woodman says teasingly while not looking at him as he stalked off with Stitch gasping in surprise at what he said before growling angrily as Hilda giggles amusedly before she and 626 turn around to follow after the others.

~[Post Credit Scene]~

An hour later, we see Hilda and Stitch fast asleep in their room as the Blue-Haired Girl was snoring in her bed with her body sprawled around lazily, and her hair was hanging off her bed as Stitch could be seen placed near the bottom of her bed and was sleeping soundly as, unknown to the tired and knocked out Adventurous Duo, a familiar burst of spectral green energy burst into the room through the opened window before it formed into a familiar figure as it loomed over them and glared at a snoring Young Adventurer as it then slowly glanced over at Experiment 626 and grinned slyly with its eyes and mouth glowing green as it giggled maliciously and the figure then transformed into a burst of spectral green energy as it flew over to phase into Stitch's mind with the Furry Blue Alien moaning and squirming around nervously as he clenched the blankets below and his claws popped out reflexively as Stitch growled in his sleep.


And done! I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, and stay tuned for the next three chapters, which will cover the events of Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch! I can't WAIT to write those chapters soon! :)

Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
