Hello. I am someone who likes cartoons and gets really behind in fan-fics.

625: [scoffs] I think you proved that second point to your readers already.

Oh, go eat a bologna!

625: If someone would count the times you used that comeback against me, they would've lost count by now.

Nosey: Hey, everyone! Guess what! DanMat6288, here, is 15 years old, and he still sucks his thu--

[I tackle Nosey.]

625: Anyway, while they're doing that, I'll explain some things and do the disclaimer. Anyway, for those who have read already and, until now, have known Jinx as 315, DanMat6288 had to change his number to 013, because someone at the TV Tome Disney/Fan-made list submission thread thought he would be better as #13. HMK, the Lilo & Stitch TV Tome editor agreed and changed it on the list, and DanMat6288 wants to stay loyal to [dramatically] the list.

625: [picks up a card] Anyway, we're back to these. [reads] DanMat6288 doesn't own anything in this fic besides X-013. The TV Tome Disney/Fan-made list is located in the Forum section of Lilo & Stitch's TV Tome guide, under the thread "Contest! [list]". It is owned by the guide editors TonyOctober and HMK, and anyone who's X's have been accepted. You can send your ideas through the forum thread "Contest! [submissions]".

Do you dream about Peka? [cannot resist a snicker]

625: [snappish] Oh, great! Not that again! [to Took] And, you promised not to add anything embarrassing in that fic!

LOL! [sing-song] Owen dreams about Peka! Owen dreams about Peka! [to Took] By the way, for the millionth time, could you PLEASE continue "PartnersInCrime"? Well, on with my fic. I've held off long enough.

Jinx sat at one side of the room... while the whole Pelekai family crowded at the other side. LOL!

"You know," thought aloud Lilo, "maybe we could give Jinx to Spooky, in case he needs a roommate."

"Without getting jinxed," Pleakley added.

Lilo nodded. "Right."

"What happened with big dummy?" asked Jumba.

"Oh, he had a bit of bad luck, himself," said the little girl, slyly. "And, I love Sandwich Boy's paint job," she added with a laugh.


Speaking of which, the very mentioned experiment sat at Gantu's ship, looking very annoyed. He was clad in a robe and was completely BALD!

[Story halted on account of the author laughing his head off.]

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

625: Shut up, already!!!

Ha! Ha! Hoo! Whoo! Sorry!

Gantu: That's worse than the poodle-cut you got from "627!" Heh, heh!

625: You keep your mouth shut, too, fish-breath!

Gantu headed for the hatch with the paint can (from last chapter) in his hand, saying, "This time, I will get 013. I have a plan that won't fail!"

"So, what's your genius plan, this time, huh?" snapped Owen, who was still annoyed from his buzz cut from his barber cousin.

625: Dan?

Oops! Mess-up!

625: Sucking it up to Took?

No, but I admit that was no accident.

"If black causes bad luck," noted Gantu, "what about white?"

"So, you're going to paint 013 white, eh?" asked Sandwich Boy. "This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard!"

"Hey, It's the only thing left I could think of!" Gantu cried defensively.


"I was kind of joking when I said we could give Jinx to Spooky as a roommate," said Lilo, "but, I guess it was a better idea than I thought." At this moment, Lilo and Stitch were walking Jinx up the hill to a rickety old mansion. The home of Experiment 300, aka Spooky. "Looks like Jinx will get a good home after all."

"Ih."

"And, nothing could possibly go wrong," Lilo added. At that moment, Gantu came over and scooped Jinx up in a capsule. Lilo slapped her forehead and groaned, "Great going, Lilo. You just had to open up your big mouth."

"The bad luck experiment is mine!" cried Gantu with a laugh.

"Haven't you forgotten something?" the little girl asked. "With Jinx nearby you, it will cause you bad luck, as well!"

"Not anymore." He pulled out the can of paint and dumped approximately half of it into the capsule, painting Jinx entirely white! "Now, at least until I can get him to Hämsterviel, he is my good luck charm!"

Lilo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you really think that will work?"

"I'm pretty confident," he said as he walked away with Jinx's capsule clipped to his back.

625: Don't ever mention the word "Clip" again!

[I stifle a snicker.]

Stitch wasn't about to give his cousin up! With a single leap, he pounced right on the big dummy's back! Gantu staggered back and forth from the impact, while Stitch made his way to Jinx's capsule, extracting his extra arms. With his legs and extra arms, he held onto the off balance alien, and, with his regular arms, he opened the capsule freeing Jinx.

Gantu regained his balance and saw the trog and his cousin getting away. But, he refused to give up just as badly as Stitch did. He drew out his blaster and fired shot after shot. Stitch and Jinx managed to dodge them, but a few of the shots landed on the base of a very thick tree. Before anyone could shout, "TIMBER!" the tree gave way and began to fall... right towards where Jinx was!

The cat-like experiment was rooted in place, frozen with fear. Stitch noticed this and, not before screaming, "COUSIN!" ran over to knocker him aside. The tree fell, crushing nobody. Jinx looked up at Stitch and gave him one of those "you just saved my life" looks.

Gantu was mad. He ran forward, yelling, "Come back with that--WOAH!" He wasn't looking where he was going, thus he tripped on the tree he downed. This could only mean one thing, he thought. My plan is working. Unfortunately, it's working in favor of them.

Lilo came over to the two experiments and noticed Jinx was still a little shaken up from the tree-falling experience. "Don't worry," she said. "It's okay, now."

A giant hand swooped down and grabbed Jinx. "Indeed," Gantu sneered. "Just peachy. You're going to make a new friend named Hämsterviel."

But, as he started to walk away, he tripped over the same tree. "What's happening?" he cried. "Why isn't my good luck charm working?"

Jinx hopped on over to Lilo and Stitch and started to rub up to them affectionately.

I find that rather cute when a cat does that. Don't worry, folks. The paint dried by that point.

Then, Lilo understood. "Jinx," she said, "you learned to control your powers."

"Cousin already know?" Stitch suggested.

Lilo chuckled and agreed, "Yeah. Maybe Jinx was just waiting for a certain someone to trust enough to keep safe from his bad luck charm. The big dummy's fall was probably his own bad luck."

"Ha, ha. Very funny," said a deep, sarcastic voice. Once again, Gantu was back. "I'll be taking that abomination, thank you." With that, he grabbed Jinx and stormed off, making sure he dodged the fallen tree, this time.

By the time what had happened registered into the startled minds of our little heroine and fluffy hero, Gantu was too far off to follow. That was it. They had lost Jinx.

625: Is that it?

No! There's more!


Gantu chuckled as he continued down. He held the struggling cat-like experiment in his hand. Jinx thought of Lilo, the kind girl who was determined to find a home where he could do good... Stitch, his silly-humored "cousin", who wanted to keep him safe, along with all his other cousins... Jumba and Pleakley, her creator and his friend who equally cared about him...

He wasn't about to leave them.

Feeling a mischievous grin spread across his face, Jinx held out a paw and extracted a set of claws like they were blades in a Swiss army knife. He raised his paw high up and brought it down, with great force, right down on Gantu's flipper of a hand!

Gantu let out a cry of pain and dropped Jinx. Because his molecular structure was based on cat DNA, Jinx was able to land on his feet. But, he wasn't the only thing Gantu lost. He also lost his balance... over a steep hill towards the river below!

"TROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGG!!!"

At first, Jinx just stood there, staring down at where Gantu lay unconscious, then, the next second, he dashed all the way back to the only place he thought to return to: the Pelekai's.


The house was silent during that time. As usual, it would take a while before Lilo and Stitch could get over loosing one of their cousins... and when they were unhappy, it made everyone else unhappy, too.

Lilo grunted in frustration. "It's no fair!" she cried. "I just wish Hamster-jerk never hired that big dummy in the first place!"

Pleakley patted her on the back, reassuringly, and said in a soft voice, "There, there. Now, if Gantu never came looking for the other 625 little monsters, you two would have never learned that Stitch even has a family of his own... besides his foster one, that is."

"I know," she moaned, "but several of our cousins are gone, because of him."

Jumba wiped away a tear. "If only I could be hearing little 013's little mewing again."

"Mew."

"013?" Jumba dried his eyes and looked over in surprise. "013!"

"Jinx!" everyone else cried, as they went over to great their long-lost cousin. They were so happy to have him back, and it felt good, for him, to be back.


Later, the three made it up to the old mansion. Inside, a bored Spooky played solitaire, by shape-shifting bits of himself into the cards. Then, he heard the door creak open. He looked over to it to see his cousins, Lilo and Stitch, as well as a new cousin, a cat-like one.

Jinx went over to Spooky, and the two stared at each other.

"You two can keep each other company," Lilo said. "At least until I officially find Jinx's one true place."


"But, sir--"

"Don't be making with the 'But, sir' to me, Gantu!" the insane rodent scientist shrieked. "You had a perfectly good bad luck causing experiment in the palm of your hand, and you lost it!"

"You don't understand, sir! That abomination has some really sharp claws!"

"No, you fish-faced fool! It is you who is not understanding... that my patience is growing thin! I am deducting your paycheck big time for this!"

Gantu sighed. "Yes, sir."


As the two experiment catchers made their way back home, Stitch turned to Lilo and asked, "You believe in bad luck?"

"Even after this?" Lilo shook her head. "Nah. Still not too superstitious... especially after our Splodyhead adventure, when we found out the truth about the 'forbidden island'."

The two could still hear Pleakley's voice. "NO CURSE!? Oh. I knew that." Immediately, they burst out laughing, then headed home.

LOL! Did you guys seriously think?

625: Well, it seemed so obvious you would.

But, I didn't! [grin] Jinx remains with his cousins!

625: AAH! [points behind me] 552!

[wheel around] WHERE!?

625: Gotcha!

Very funny! Well, R&R for the final time for this story.
