Lilo pushed back her midnight black hair. Her olive brown skin stood out against her rose red dress. "Little Girl, why so nervous?" Jumba, a four eyed alien, asked walking into the room. He was wearing a yellow button down t-shirt that was nearly about to split into two and a pair of teal shorts.

"I'm waiting for Keoni, we're going to the prom," Lilo got up from the couch, peered out the window and sat down again.

"Haven't you and Keoni been dating for the past five years?" Pleakley, a one eyed and three legged alien, questioned Lilo. He was wearing a red muumuu with white flowers all over it.

Stitch, a blue Koala looking experiment popped up and took a seat next to Lilo, "Ih."

"So, why so nervous?" Jumba asked again.

"Myrtle has been sniffing around him, and I don't trust her. She might send a vampire-zombie werebeast to kidnap him."

"Little girl, you haven't changed at all," Jumba said patting Lilo's knee.

The crunch of gravel halted any and all further conversation, "It's Keoni. Bye everybody, don't wait up." Lilo grabbed her handbag and scurried through the door. Night had come early and there was a full moon; its light gently caressed Lilo's lithe body.

Keoni exited his car, his jaw dropped when he saw her, "Lilo, you look…amazing."

He escorted her to the opposite side of the car and opened the door for her. He then scurried back to the driver's seat, "So Lilo, when did you get the dress, it looks fabulous."

"Oh, Nani gave it to me, she wore it to her prom," Lilo told him, "I had to take it in a bit, Nani's hips are a little wider than mine."

Keoni let out a little laugh, then turned on the radio. Elvis's velvety smooth voice floated through the speakers:

Are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

"I LOVE this song," Lilo stated, turning up the radio just slightly, "Wow Keoni, no offense, but I think there is something wrong with your speakers."

"What do you mean?" Keoni asked, fiddling with the sound.

"Well, there is this thudding in the background," Lilo replied.

"I don't hear…" Keoni began, but was cut short when Gantu lifted the car from the ground. Keoni reached out and grabbed Lilo's shoulder, "Lilo are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Keoni," she replied, but in actuality her heart was racing. About fifteen minutes later they were wrenched from their seats by the giant fingers of Gantu, a large gray, shark looking alien with feet like an elephant. He had a mad look about him, his eyes were blood shot and he had a maniacal grin on his face.

Lilo tried to squirm from Gantu's, she opened her mouth wide and bit him, "Put me down you big dummy."

Gantu didn't seem to notice and continued to bring them into his ship. Lilo's eyes darted around the ship looking for a way to escape; she stopped when she saw a large yellow creature sitting in the corner. Lilo thought for a second that it was Java the hut, but when she saw a sandwich in its hand she realized it was 625.

"Now, where is the experiment?" Gantu bellowed.

"What experiment?" Lilo responded, "All the experiments have been captured."

"001, where is it?" Gantu said shaking Lilo and letting Keoni drop to the floor with a loud thud.

"I haven't seen experiment 001, Jumba said it was a complete failure," Lilo struggled to release herself from Gantu's crushing grasp.

"You were lied to," Gantu growled, he threw her on to the couch and began to pace. Lilo tried to stand, but was soon enveloped in darkness.
