Okay, chapter 24 is here. But before I start, I'd like to mention an idea I have for where this story is going that I want to alert everyone on. This story isn't going to end cleanly: It's going to cliff hang into ANOTHER story I'm going to start writing on soon. I won't say any more about that now. Anywho, as I have no other announcements, on to the chapter!

"You know, I have the same problem with them." Syler said. 635 just continued to stare at the ground below the porch. "If it wasn't for that time I traded five year's worth of bread for Angel's pod, they'd still hate me. I think Pleakley still does."

"So that's where all the bread has gone." Mediator said from behind them.

"Uhhhh.... yeah. It was for a good cause." Syler responded. 635 didn't say anything. "Well, maybe you'll have a better time getting him to talk. He's only said two words to me ever since he was out here: go away." And with that, he went inside.

"You know, that could be your problem." Mediator said. "If you continue to just give people the cold shoulder, they'll never be able to help. And Syler is right about one thing: They did hate him. Why they stopped just because he got Angel back I dunno. It's just one of those absurd things in life."

"Why are you helping?" 635 muttered, barely audible.

"Because. Well, the main reason is you came for help, am I right? So, I'm helping." Mediator said smugly.

"What should I do then? If trying to be alone isn't the right thing, that is." 635 asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Prove you're not evil. How, I dunno. That depends on what happens. If anything happens. But I'm sure you aren't." Mediator said. 635 smirked.

"You're probably the first to understand me." He said, sounding like his normal self again. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." Mediator said, turning. "Oh, and I'd be careful around Pleakley if I were you. He still thinks that Stitch is somewhat evil."

Meanwhile, in the living room, Stitch and Syler were plotting something. "Okay, if they go this way, you get them with the water balloons. I'll come from behind with the Super Soaker." Stitch said, pointing to a map of the house. Syler just nodded. "But if they go this way, wait until you have a clear shot, then throw the balloons."

"You know you'd have a better chance against Angel and Tria if you had 636 with you, right?" Lilo said, walking into the living room.

"Uhhhh, why do you have a microphone disguised as a flower behind your ear?" Syler asked (still in his koala form). "In any case, what does this 636 you speak of do?"

"He's a stealth experiment. Plus he can snipe. But I'm going to have to ask Jumba if we can activate him or not. I don't want another incident like with 643." Lilo said, heading off to ask Jumba.

"Okay, now that that's out of the way..." Stitch said, returning to the plan. Neither one of them had realized that the microphone was telling their plan to Angel and Tria.

"So what do we use? Paint or water?" Tria asked. Angel grinned evilly.

"Paint, of course." She responded.

Fifteen minutes later Lilo was walking towards Jumba's ship. She couldn't find him anywhere. Keoni had decided to go too, as he wanted to see what a spaceship could look like. "Well, here we are. But why's the ramp down?" Lilo said, getting confused. She thought she had put the ramp up. Inside, she found Jumba searching frantically for something. "Jumba, can we activate 636?"

"Sure, if you are being the finding the pod." Jumba responded. "Someone somehow cracked safe combination, stole pods for 645 and 646. Pod for 636 is also missing."

"Hey, is this it?" Keoni asked, holding up a tan pod.

"AHA! Yes, that is being the it! Where was it the being?" Jumba asked, turning around.

"Under here. Along with alot of other ones." Keoni said, handing the pod to Lilo.

"Well, now to find some water." Lilo said, looking around.

"NO! Could be causing mass chaos if activating that experiment!" Jumba panicked.

"But you said if we found it, we can activate it." Lilo responded. Jumba slapped himself in the face. A few minutes later, Keoni was holding a glass of water while Lilo held the pod over it. After a ten second count down, which was added for effect, she dropped the pod. Surprised by the yellow glow, Keoni dropped the glass it was in. When the glow cleared, 636 stood there, a somewhat calm feeling radiating from him.

Okay, that last part was probably cheesy. Anywho, that's the chapter. I'm not doing an experiment bio for this one as I'm currently waiting for a suggestion. Please review!
