THE LANDING PLATFORM

Gantu took his money and, just before he got in his cruiser, said, "Nice doing business with you." And he flew off.

OHANA ISLAND

Owen, with a bowl helmet on his head, walked up the stairs that lead to the attic.

"Are we ready?" Jumba asked.

"All systems go, go, go." Owen said.

"T-Minus: 10, 9, 8..." The computer said.

Lilo knelt down, her face in the bed, and wept. "Why did Stitch have to leave?" She said to herself, red-eyed.

Just then Lilo felt the wierd sensation of flying upwards. And she was flying upwards. In fact the whole house (made out of Jumba and Pleakly's old space-cruiser) was lifting off the ground!

'I must be dreaming.' Lilo thought to herself.

The upwards movement got faster, and faster. Air guards slid up the windows. Then, the small house broke out of the atmosphere. Lilo was so amazed she almost forgot about the missing Stitch. Then, all of the amazing stars turned into bright streaks. Then, all of the black, emptiness of space faded into white nothingness. Lilo ran up to the attic.

"Where are we?" Lilo asked Jumba. "Everything outside is white."

"This, my little one, is hyperspace."

"Wow!" Lilo said in amazement.

Occasionally, they saw other space-cruisers travelling hyperspace. Then they saw a bulging one with a giant sharklike alien inside it.
