Okay, it's amazing how far I've gotten with this. Not to mention the fact that I've received only a minimal amount of criticism and such. To Anonymous But Eager, I am definitely going to look at your suggestions, which oddly enough, seem perfect for this story. Anyways, with the a/n out of the way, on to the chapter!

"JUMBA! LILO! GET DOWN HERE!!!" Nani screamed after five minutes of deciding what to do. And as usual, it took five minutes before anyone entered the kitchen. And of course, Lilo had her hologram up. "Lilo, what on earth are you thinking?!" she said when everyone was in the kitchen.

"What? What's going on?" Lilo asked, sleepy. It wasn't until she saw Jumba's computer on the table, still on, that she figured out that Nani now knew.

"Okay Jumba, explain this." Nani said in a somewhat calm manner, motioning with her hand towards the computer screen.

"Uh-oh. We are the being in the hot water now." Jumba said to himself.

'You can say that again.' Said Syler from the doorway.

"Was not being my fault. If anyone is the being to the blaming, blame 633 and 641." Jumba said nervously, casting glances over to Lilo.

'That is the stupidest thing I've ever...' Syler growled, tired of getting blamed.

"Okay, Lilo, what's really going on? And I want the truth." Nani said threateningly, turning her attention back to Lilo.

"Well I...I...wait, you already know, why ask me?" Lilo asked, trying to get out of trouble.

"Because I want the full story. This computer isn't telling me everything you know. Like what exactly are you now?" Nani countered, casting a glare at everyone else in the room. "Pleakley, did you know about this?"

"No! They never tell me anything!" Pleakley said, actually telling the truth. "And I have no idea what's going on anyways!"

'You wouldn't know it even if it stared you right in the face.' Syler muttered, followed by a gasp from Stitch and Angel.

"Okay Lilo, enough fooling around. Either this thing is wrong, or you have a hologram up. Take it down now." Nani said, ignoring Syler.

With a sigh, Lilo did as she was told. Pleakley, who wasn't expecting this, fainted. Nani, on the other hand, turned her attention to Jumba.

"It said that she got zapped by an experiment. Would you happen to have any idea which one?" she asked Jumba accusingly, referring to the computer as the 'it'.

"Would you like me to be telling the whole truth or not?" Jumba asked, edging towards the door.

"Never mind then. Someone take Pleakley to the living room!" Nani said, at which Jumba grabbed Pleakley and bolted out of the kitchen. "Now for the rest of you...why didn't any of you say anything?"

'Because we were told not to and I don't like getting yelled at in case you haven't noticed.' Syler said, shocking everyone except Nani.

"Well, that and I thought you'd get mad, so I told them not to tell you." Lilo spoke up from behind Nani.

"Why would I get mad? If this is how you want it, that's fine with me. But you should have been more honest with me." Nani said, oddly calm.

'Something's wrong...' Syler thought to himself. 'She'd normally scream in these scenarios.'

"You got that right." Stitch agreed. Angel nodded, deciding not to speak up.

"But... why aren't you upset?" Lilo asked, confused.

"Because it's not my place to get angry at you if this is your choice...but there are ground rules." Nani responded. Everyone still in the room groaned.

A few hours later, everyone was beginning to panic. No one knew where Shifter was, and they hadn't found a place for him either.

At the Jameson's house, Shifter crawled in through an open window. There was a flash of light, and then Shifter left, heading towards the other side of town.

In the kitchen, Jumba's computer beeped.

Okay, I hope that's a satisfactory chapter. Please review!
