Chapter Four: The Future

It was a magenta ball. But how could a ball get into outer space? It was impossible for anything but a rocket with tons of fire to get out of the atmosphere. Stitch exited the thought from his mind and glanced at the surroundings. He had landed near the prison in which Jumba had once been inside. He rushed superfastly to the gate, spit acid on the guards, which knocked them out, and clawed it open. He busted open the elevator equipment and ran in. "Come on," said Lilo. "Stitch's instincts are telling us where your son is." Lilo, Hindus, and the four experiments rushed after Stitch. Vamperr and Hindus rushed through. Then Slugy. Lilo tried hard to jump over the acid, and finally came through. One of the guards started to wake up. He got dizzy. It was if he was in a trance. He sat on the other guard, who woke up instantly. Expander, who was extremely fat, hit the guard in the trance and got him out of it, then walked past. Meanwhile, Hindus, Slugy, and Lilo were already in the elevator with Stitch, who pressed up. Both guards were now completely alert and one had grabbed Digger. The elevator reached a cell and stopped. Everyone got out as it went down again. Digger rushed across the acid as Expander climbed in to the elevator. Vamperr flew after him, but strangely, Expander reached the top first, and got out. Vamperr flew up to where everyone else had gotten out and landed. The second he reached the top, the guards grabbed Digger and rushed with him to the Grand Councilwoman.

"Ah, let's see, we are exactly 3 months ahead of time we came from," said Jumba. "And we are by...uh...crabbity crab creature swinging giant bucketlike objects...or is that...no, it can't be...Experiment 297?" "Wait a second. That carnival ride...is an experiment?" The ride finished, and 297, or Short Stuff, as Lilo called him, bent down and let everyone off. You see, Experiment 297 is a small, crablike creature designed to sabotage electrical and mechanical devices. However, Stitch caught him and made him bigger so he could become a carnival ride. Short Stuff became the most popular ride in the carnival, even more popular than Lilo's favorite ride in the carnival, the Pineapple Plunger, which Stitch was too small to ride. Then, Short Stuff walked over to Nani and Jumba. He did not recognize Nani, not having ever seen Nani. But Jumba he had seen after his activation, and also before his dehydration because Jumba had created him, so he hugged Jumba. "See," said Jumba. "It is 297, oh, and oh, is he not excellent evil genius work, ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

A/N: All right. Now, I rarely get time to write any more, and whenever I can, this is the one I write a chapter for, so I'm happy I was even able to right this chapter. So, here it is. R&R.
