Lilo pulled into her driveway, Keoni was sitting next to her struggling against his binds. "Keoni will you stop figgeting," Lilo pleaded, "I'm going to take you to see Jumba, he'll fix you." She walked around to the other side of the car and tried to lift Keoni out of the car. He put up a good struggle, but Lilo somehow overpowered him and pulled him from the car. She dragged him up the stairs screaming for assistance, "Jumba, Pleakley, Stitch, anyone. I need…a little help!"
All three came out to see Lilo dragging Keoni up to them. "What happened little girl?"
"001, it works and he smacked Keoni on the head," Lilo said between breathes, "Now, will someone help me with him?"
Jumba came down and pulled Keoni up the stairs and into his lab, "So you say he was smacked by 001, that's impossible. 001 was failure, it did nothing, must have been another experiment."
"Gantu had captured Keoni and me, he kept asking us where 001 was, and I told him you said it didn't work. But he kept insisting, and then this creature that looked like a monkey came up and whacked Gantu in the leg.
"Gantu lifted me up and kept saying 'mine' when the little monster smacked Keoni in the head. It made Keoni as weird as Gantu; it's a good thing I keep some rope in my bag in case a monster comes out of the woods and tries to eat me."
Jumba shook his head then began to type info into his computer, "Yes sounds like 001, but is impossible. I put experiment pod in vat of water for over a year, nothing happened."
"Well maybe the little monster isn't activated by water?" Pleakley interjected.
"Of course it is acti…" Jumba started, "Wait my one-eyed dressed as earth female friend might be correct. It could be that…yes, lava activated 001." Jumba looked at his computer, "Something happened when I put in data. Instead of water 001 is activated by magma."
"How do we stop it?" Lilo asked, "And how do we fix Keoni?"
"Well according to computer, effects only temporary. So earth boy should be fine in a few hours. As for 001 he is slow and easy to catch, do you know when it was activated?" Jumba stated.
Lilo thought for a second, "Yes, Gantu's experiment tracker said it was activated at 10:30 this morning."
"I see, right now is seven. Experiment moves at about four miles an hour. No volcanoes near town, that means experiment has not yet reached town. Little girl you go with 626 and find experiment," Jumba directed.
"Just like old times," Lilo said as she walked down to the buggy with Stitch. Stitch, slipped on his red sunglasses, took the wheel and peeled out of the driveway; they sped down the road to Gantu's ship. They slowed their speed when they got there so they could see the surroundings with more accuracy.
About a half of a mile from Gantu's ship they found experiment 001, he was dragging his club and grunting. Stitch stopped the car and caught the experiment without a fight. "Easy," said Stitch as he got back into the car. They drove back to Gantu's ship, where they saw Gantu trying to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Lilo pulled some sleeping powder from her purse and sprinkled it into Gantu's eyes, "There now he'll sleep until he's back to normal, and when he is I'm going to give him a wedgie!"
They left Gantu and returned home; there they found Jumba trying to get Keoni to stop struggling against his restraints. Pleakley came into the room, "So did you catch the little monster?"
"Ih," Stitch replied and brought in the experiment.
"But now we don't know the one place where it belongs," Lilo said peering into the container to get a closer look at the experiment.
"Well take away 001's club and he normal earth ape," stated Jumba as he removed the creature from the container and stole its club.
"So we take it to the zoo," Lilo said, "Come on Stitch."
"I do alone," Stitch said, "you stay with Keoni."
"I will go with 626," Jumba offered when Lilo tried to argue. Lilo just nodded knowing that she was outnumbered. Jumba grabbed 001's club and put it into a container that he had Stitch bury as deep as possible before they left for the zoo.
Pleakley, Lilo, and a struggling Keoni stood in Jumba's lab alone, "Well, Lilo I should go. Nani should be home soon and she might want something to eat."
Lilo stayed in the room with Keoni, she sat on the ledge by the window and eventually drifted to sleep. About two hours after she had slipped into dream world a familiar voice called her name, "Lilo, Lilo."
"Keoni?" Lilo shot up from her nap to see Keoni gently trying to pull away from his restraints.
"Yeah, hey do you think you can let me down? My wrists are hurting," Keoni stated stopping his struggle.
"I'm not sure, are you really back to normal," Lilo said slipping down from the ledge and looking over Keoni. She made eye contact with him and saw that his eyes were his, the eyes that she loved to look into.
"Oh Keoni," Lilo sighed releasing him from the straps, "Keoni I was so scared." She rested her head on his chest when he stood up and wrapped her arms around his back.
"I know Lilo, I'm sorry, but I had no control," Keoni soothed, he looked over at the clock and let out a shocked gasp. "Lilo we missed your prom."
"It's okay, Keoni, it wasn't that important," Lilo said hugging him closer.
"Well I was planning a surprise for after prom, and if you're up to it we can still go," Keoni stated as he gently pulled Lilo to the door.
