Ok, second chapter. The story really takes off here. Remember, Meghan is fictional and if you notice similarities between her and someone else, it's unintentional.

With Lilo's knowledge of the building we were able to get into Geometry before anyone else, so we sat next to each other. I used this extra time to think. Lilo… Wasn't she like, ten on the series, though? Ok, Meghan, you're cracking up. Lots of people are probably named Lilo around here. You're just overeacting. I couldn't stop thinking about it, though. No wonder she looked so familiar… She was just older for some reason.

The first day of school was a blur. Lilo was able to show me to all my classes. On the way home, she asked if I'd like a tour now. I had no homework since I said sure. "Just let me leave a note for my parents." I hurried to my house, wrote and left the note, and when I came back Lilo had a strange blue "koala" with her.

"While you were gone I went to my house and got my dog," she smiled. "His name's Stitch." Stitch smiled.

"Oh, ok." I knew he wasn't really a dog, but just for fun I asked what kind he was.

"He got ran over by a truck, but before that he was a collie," Lilo replied. She said it without hesitating. I guess she's gotten that question many times before.

We started off "downtown." As we walked down the street Stitch constantly ran ahead and sniffed at various buildings. "That's the grocery store, and that's the tourist shop." She pointed at two buildings across the street. She paused suddenly. "There's not much here, really. Do you wanna go to the beach?" I nodded.

It didn't take longer than ten minutes to get to the beach. There were a few people swimming, but most were tanning in the sand. "That's were my older sister, Nani, works. C'mon, I want you to meet her." Lilo walked toward a blue shack some ways down the beach. I followed, but not before I saw something glinting in the sand. I bent down and saw a small turquoise ball half buried in the sand.

"What's that?" I wondered out loud. I picked it up and wiped off the sand. It had "628" written on it in bold numbers. "Uh-oh…" I whispered.

"Hey, Meghan! Come here!" Lilo shouted. I quickly stuffed the pod into my pocket and jogged over to her.

"So you're Meghan," Nani looked me over thoroughly, as if seeing if I was worthy of approval. "Well, I say it's about time Lilo made a friend other than Stitch."

She was cut off by a tourist coming to turn in his flippers. "Aloha!" she said in her faky-friendly voice. "I'll be glad to take those for you!" Lilo rolled her eyes.

"C'mon. We'd better get home."

I followed, eager to get home and check out the pod I found. 628… did that mean it was more powerful than Stitch? Speaking of Stitch, where had he gone? I hadn't seen him since when we were in town. My question was quickly answered as an orange and yellow blur came crashing onto the beach, followed by a blue blur.

"Oh! Excuse me, I have to, uh, get Stitch to stop chasing that other dog." She took off after them. I shrugged, slightly surprised that they hadn't caught them all by now. But then I figured, where there was an experiment, there was also…

The ground rumbled as Gantu ran onto the beach with a glass tube in his hands. He stopped, looked both ways, then bent down and asked, "Have you seen an orange creature run this way?"

I blinked. He was even bigger in real life! "Uh… that way." I pointed the opposite way it had run.

"Thanks, earth girl." He jogged down the beach the way I pointed.

"Hehehe. Sucker." I muttered. Now, time to get home.

Hee hee… So Gantu made his entrance a little earlier than I expected, but I think it made the chapter better. The next chapter I'm really looking forward to writing. R&R, please!
