The next morning, 597 woke up and crawled into Zurc's bed. Her bed was always really warm in the morning and 597 liked it. Zurc woke up a bit and wrapped an arm around 597.
"Morning, sweetie."
"Good morning, Zurc." 597 closed her eyes.
"Come on, 597. Time to get up."
"No, it's not." She whispered.
"Yes, it is. Come on." 597 didn't move. "Now." She said sternly.
597 climbed out of her bed and to the closet. She put on one of her outfits. Zurc did the same. They walked to the bathroom, brushed their teeth and hair and went to breakfast. Pleakley was already there in the process of making breakfast.
"Oh, good you're up. Did the smell of eggs and sausages wake you up?"
"Is that what you're making?" Zurc asked.
597 sniffed the air. A huge smile appeared on her face at the smell of something familiar.
"COFFEE!" She yelled excitedly. She scurried to the coffeepot. 597 was about to grab the pot when Zurc picked her up and away.
"597, no. You can't touch that. We're not at home and the pots here get really hot. So, be careful not to burn yourself." Zurc set 597 on the floor.
Pleakley snickered. "Coming from experience?" Zurc widened her eyes, sighed and shook her in pain as she remembered the memory.
Pleakley grinned. "So, she's a fan of coffee?"
"Yep."
"Just like the little monster." Pleakley said pointing to the ceiling.
"Monster?" 597 asked, scared, when she finally took her attention off the coffee. Pleakley giggled nervously.
"Did I say monster?"
"He didn't mean monster." Zurc said.
"No, I didn't say monster. I meant…"
"He meant…uh."
"Mosquitos." Pleakley said quickly.
"Mosquitos?" 597 asked.
"Yeah, they are little monsters. They like to bite their unsuspecting victims in the dead of night. Evil little things they are…evil! And they love me." He answered in all seriousness. "I'm not kidding. Look, I've got five bites on my arm alone.
597 paused and thought about Pleakley's answer. "The mosquito monsters like coffee?"
At that moment, Lilo walked in. Zurc used the opportunity to change the subject.
"Lilo, good morning."
"Oh, Zurc and 597, you're up?" Lilo said strangely as if she wanted to signal to someone of their presents. Stitch, who was following Lilo, heard her and climbed up the wall. Zurc quickly took a peek in the hallway to see where Stitch was.
"Look, 597. Lilo's awake."
"Good morning." 597 said in her language.
As the kitchen conversations continued, Stitch crawled on the ceiling, into the living room and into the kitchen while everyone's back was turned. He crawled on to the counter to the food Pleakley finished making. Zurc noticed Stitch on the counter, and then looked at 597 to see if she was looking. Pleakley turned to see what Zurc was looking at. When he saw, he went dead silent. As Lilo was talking to 597 she also saw Stitch on the counter eating the food. When Stitch had his fill, he began to leave. Lilo tried not to stare but 597 noticed she kept looking at something and turned around just as Stitch left. Everyone was silent, waiting for 597's reaction. Speck thought she saw something blue on the ceiling, and then it disappeared. This wasn't strange. Sometimes when she first wakes up her eyes flash random colors since, while she's sleeping, she dreams colors most of the time. She attributes the flash of blue in that one spot to tired eyes. She rubbed them and told them to wake up. 597 looked in the same spot and wondered what everyone was staring at.
"What is everyone looking at?"
"Nothing." Everyone said in unison.
"Nothing? Liars." She said.
"How dare you call us liars. Why would we do such a thing?" Zurc said nervously. "Well…if you must know… uh, we were looking at how the light from their star was coming through the window. The reason we said nothing was because…because it wasn't an important thing." Zurc said, crossing her arms. Everyone agreed. 597 was slightly confused.
*I could see why Zurc would be looking at the starlight, because she likes sparkly things, but why would the Earthlings stop and stare at something the see everyday?*
Zurc saw the confused look on 597's face and didn't want her asking anymore questions. So, she changed the subject again.
"So, Pleakley, how about breakfast?"
"Oh, yeah." Pleakley turned to the dishes and saw the lack of food. "Uh, it looks like I didn't make enough for everybody. I'll make more."
597 thought a moment and realized that before everybody was staring there was a lot more food. Now, there wasn't as much.
*Another strange happening that doesn't make sense. Totally and completely weird.* 597 thought. Pleakley quickly whipped up another batch of food. 597 sat down to eat and Lilo sat next to her.
"Hey, do you want to go outside and play after we eat?" She asked 597.
"Zurc?" She asked hopefully.
"Well…I suppose, but you have to stay with Lilo. If I catch you alone…"
Zurc didn't need to finish. 597 knew what would happen. She and Lilo ate quickly and put their dishes in the sink. Lilo told 597 to wait in the living room because she forgot to make her bed. 597 nodded and waited. Lilo went up to her room and saw Stitch staring out the window.
"Stitch, 597 and I are going outside. Wanna come? This could be your chance to see her face."
Stitch nodded and hopped off the bed.
"Now, wait till we leave. Then, follow us, okay?"
"Yep." Stitch said. Lilo went down the elevator and to the living room. Stitch wasn't too far behind. He followed them out. Zurc didn't see Stitch follow them because she was talking to Pleakley.
"So, you didn't tell 597 about the little monster?"
"No, I'm scared what might happen to her. She might want to leave."
"The key word there is "might". Zurc, it's not fair to the little monster. I mean, he lives here and you're making him pretend that he doesn't. That's not right. He has to walk on the ceilings now…Not that he doesn't do that normally, but still, you're not letting him walk on the floor."
"I know. I'll try to do it tonight, or at least try to."
"That's the spirit. Now, how about some coffee, huh?" Pleakley got up and went to the counter.
"Yes, that would be lovely."
At that moment, Jumba walked in.
"Good morning, sweet sunshine." He said giving Zurc's shoulders a tiny squeeze. "Good morning, little one-eyed one."
"Good morning, Jumba." Zurc giggled.
"Morning, Jumba. Coffee?"
"No, thank you."
They began to talk about how their nights went and such. Jumba also asked if 597 knew about 626. She explained her reasons to him and they talked about strategies to tell her.
Meanwhile, outside, Lilo and 597 were walking around the woods by the house. After a while of walking, 597 began to pant from being so hot. They rested for a bit then continued. 597 found some big leaves and long grass. She waited till Lilo's back was turned and made a dress. She slipped the dress over her outfit and turned to Lilo.
"Hey, Lilo, look."
Lilo turned around and saw 597 posing in the dress.
"You like?" 597 asked jokingly. Lilo giggled.
"It's you. It really is." Lilo said. 597 giggled, too. Then she heard something rustling in the brushes. She thought it was a wild animal. So, she jumped behind Lilo.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"There's something over there." 597 whimpered, while pointing to the bush."
"What? You heard a noise?" Lilo asked, not exactly catching what she said.
"Yea."
Lilo slowly walked over to the brushes and looked through them. She didn't see anything behind the bushes but she did see a blue ear sticking out from behind a tree. Lilo grinned and walked back to 597.
"Don't worry. It must have been a falling stick or something. There's nothing there."
"Nothing?" 597 asked nervously.
"Nope, absolutely and completely nothing." Lilo paused and watched 597's reaction. She began to relax. "Why don't you go and see for yourself?" She suggested, hoping she could help Stitch catch a glimpse of 597.
597 shook her head. She wanted to stay right where she was. Lilo tried again to encourage her to go see, but she stayed put.
Stitch stepped out from behind the tree and moved closer to the bushes. He was more careful this time not to make any noise. Stitch slowly lowered a branch and peeked through. 597 had her back to him. He grunted in frustration. No sooner had he done that, another noise came from behind him. He turned around and switched his eyes to heat sensory mode. Stitch saw the outline of…379!
*OH, GREAT! Of all the time to show up, you do it NOW.* He thought as he snuck around to a set of bushes closer to Lilo. Stitch tugged on her dress and she turned to him when 597 looked away.
"379." He whispered.
"379? Where?" She whispered back. Stitch pointed.
"He's close."
"Okay, you keep an eye on him. Don't let him get away. I'll get 597 inside."
"Okay." Stitch ducked back into the bushes and followed 379 as he waited for Lilo. Lilo walked to 597. "I think we should go inside now."
"Huh?"
"I think I heard a wild squirrel near by and they're always trouble." Lilo lied. 597 gasped and stepped closer to Lilo. Lilo grinned. "Like I said, I think we should go inside for now."
"Yea, yea, yea." 597 said quickly.
They both went inside and 597 hid behind a pillow on the couch.
"What should we do?"
"Uh. You stay here. I'm going to try to make it go away." Lilo said, heading to her room and grabbing her back-pack. Jumba restocked it with a 379 catching gadget. Lilo soon reappeared in the living room. 597 was still trying to hide.
"I'll be back soon." Lilo said opening the door. "Bye, oh, if Nani, Jumba, or Pleakley ask where I am, tell them I'm fighting evil with Stitch. It's a special code. Stitch isn't a person or an experiment…. It's just a code, okay? Bye." Lilo left.
"Bye, be careful!" 597 yelled after her.
Lilo ran down the stairs and called out to Stitch. 379 ran passed her followed by a trail of ash followed by Stitch.
"Stitch!" She yelled. Stitch looked back and saw Lilo running up to him. "Jumba put a new cartridge thingy in the blaster gun. It's a net that digs into the ground that 379 can breathe through but the ashes can't come out. He also gave as a remote control. So, we can make the spikes come together and tie. That way, we can catch him from a distance and we won't get any ashes on us." Lilo was nearly out of breath when she finished explaining.
Stitch took the gun, aimed it, and fired at 379. 379 stopped, turned around and blew fire on it, burning it, before it could catch him. The ashes from the net fell right on him.
*More ammo for me*. 379 thought, as he laughed and scurried away.
Stitch aimed again and pulled the trigger. Nothing came out of the gun. Stitch looked at it. The cartridge was empty.
"ONLY ONE?!" Stitch yelled angrily.
"There was only one shot, Stitch?" Lilo asked, confused.
"Yea." Stitch said extremely frustrated.
"Uh oh, I don't have another cartridge and 379 is getting away."
Stitch growled and began to stomp back to the house. He threw the gun over his shoulder and it landed at Lilo's feet. She picked it up and put it in her bag.
"Hey Stitch, you know what?" She asked.
"What?" He answered tiredly.
"I think I'll call him Cinder. What do you think?"
"Whatever."
"Hey, are you mad?"
"What makes you say that?"
"Stitch, you can be mad if you want to, but that's no excuse to be sarcastic and rude."
"Sorry." He said. He was about to go inside the house.
"Watch out, Stitch. 597 was in the living room when I left. I don't know if she's still there."
Stitch grunted again in frustration. * First, I don't get to eat breakfast with the family. Next, I don't get to see what 597 looks like. Then, I loose 379…er… Cinder…, again. Now, I can't go through the front door without worrying about 597. Wow, today has been really annoying so far and if it doesn't get better then I'll have to punch something.* He thought as he scanned the room with his heat sensory vision.
