Good day! It's been a loooong time since I last updated, but I had a bit of trouble thinking of events for this chapter. Well, I'm back and here's my longest chapter yet!

As we were walking along I noticed something strange. At some spots the ice looked to be about 3 feet thick, and at others no more than an inch. As I was thinking this Lilo suddenly stopped in front of me, causing me to bump into her. She shushed me when I made a shout of surprise.

"Shhh! 628's just over this hill! We don't want him to run away." She started to tip-toe forward and Stitch and I followed. The only sounds heard were the crunch, crunch of the spikes on our shoes penetrating the ice. We neared the top of the hill and got down on our stomachs for more cover. I wished Jumba hadn't given us bright red jackets.

We saw 628 right where we saw him from Lilo's house, and he was still making ice. It occasionally stopped and wiped his paws on his thighs as if they were getting cold. He then made a grunting noise and started making more ice.

"Ok, you go over there," Lilo pointed to a spot on the opposite side of the hill we were on," and herd him over here. Stitch and I'll catch him." I nodded, but in my head asked how something that sounded so easy could be so hard to do.

I somehow got to the other side of the hill without being detected by 628 and thought about how I was going to get him towards were Lilo and Stitch were. That's when the rumbling started. I turned around and saw Gantu in the distance. And he was running this way! "Oh, no," I whispered. I looked back at 628 and figured I'd just have to take my chances. I burst to my feet and began running towards it waving my arms. I must've looked like an idiot, but what else could I do? It's not like I had a plasma gun in my pocket!

628 stopped making ice and looked my way. After a moment his pitch black eyes widened and he made an "Eep!" sound. He ran back down the hill. Wow, I thought. This is easier than I thought. I soon found out it was not me it was scared of.

"Meghan, look out! Move!" Lilo shouted. I didn't know what to move away from, but I stepped to my right. Gantu's foot landed where I was a second ago. I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes.

"Oh, my Gosh!" I screamed. After recovering from my surprise I saw Lilo and Stitch running after Gantu. 628 was running as fast as he could, but Gantu was gaining on him. Lilo and Stitch weren't fairing well, either. Each step Gantu took set them farther and farther apart. "They'll never catch Gantu, he's too fast!" I said to myself. I quickly looked around to look for something, anything that might help. My eyes nearly missed a fallen palm branch frozen to the ground. I ran over to it and, with some difficulty managed to break it off from the frozen ground. I set my feet on it and pushed off down the hill, riding it like a snowboard. After a moment the spikes on the bottom of my shoes dug into it enough so I didn't need to worry about falling off. I made a beeline for 628 and found I was gaining speed rapidly.

I zoomed past Lilo and Stitch and gained on, no passed, Gantu! I laughed at the face he made when I past him and shouted," See ya!" back at him. I turned back towards 628, who was still running. I plucked him off the ground as I passed him and tucked him in the crook of my arm. I noticed we were nearing town. Judging by the leveling ground and the fact that I was losing speed I decided it was time to retreat. I looked for a space between shops to turn down. I saw one and made a sharp turn, sending ice shards everywhere. I jumped off my "snowboard" and hid with 628 behind a trash can. Gantu paused in front of the alleyway and looked in it. He made a frustrated grunt and took off down the street.

I sighed in relief and looked at the experiment in my arms. It looked up and me and suddenly struggled to be put down.

"No! I've gotta take you to Lilo's house!" I began hauling the struggling, snarling experiment back down the alley. At that moment Lilo and Stitch found where we were.

"You got him!" Lilo said in amazement.

"Yeah, but -uhh- could we put him in that –urrr- tube thing before he gets away again?" I asked between grunts of exhaustion.

"Oh, right." She twisted it open and I dropped 628 inside it. It quickly jumped to its feet and leaped at the opening in the top, only to be met by glass as Lilo shut it.

"Let's get him to Jumba," she said with a satisfied sigh.

"Ih," Stitch said. We started making our way back to the house in silence except for the occasional growl from 628.

Lilo broke the silence by asking," Hey, Meghan. When you came into the house and said you knew that Stitch was an alien, I wanted to ask you how you knew. In all the commotion about 628 I forgot to ask though. So… how much do you know?"

I took a deep breath. I knew this would be coming sooner or later. "Are you sure you want to know it all?"

She nodded slowly.

"Well, I'll start at the beginning. I know that Stitch was created by Jumba and was put on trial for being an illegal experiment. He was sentenced to exile on a desert asteroid but escaped via a red police cruiser. He landed here on Earth and disguised himself as a dog and became your pet. He was followed by Jumba and a one-eyed alien named Pleakley. They were assigned by the Galactic Federation to capture Stitch and give him back to them. They were eventually fired for taking too long and the former Captain Gantu took their place. He kidnapped you, but Stitch, Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley rescued you. Stitch was allowed to stay on Earth after that." I paused for a moment and noticed that both Lilo adn Stitch were goggling at me. "Oh, wait. There's more. I know that Dr. Hamsterveil hired Gantu after he's been fired by the Galactic Federation to catch all the rest of Jumba's experiments before you. While we're on the subject of you guys, I want you to know that at my old school everyone, I mean everyone knew how obsessed I was with the show."

"Wait a minute…" Lilo interrupted. "We're on a… a TV show?!"

"Uh-huh," I answered. She seemed likely to faint at this point, so I figured I'd better hurry it up. "I spent hours watching the movie…"

"MOVIE???"

"so that I could get Stitch's voice right… and I can't believe I just told you that last part." I could feel my cheeks getting hot.

Lilo seemed to take a break from her deer-in-headlights look to ask," You can do Stitch's voice?" She seemed intrigued. "Do it."

"Uh… ok…" I smiled nervously. "Stitch, if you take offense to this line, I'm only mimicking you." I lowered my voice to match his. "Meega nala kweesta!"

Lilo raised her eyebrows, obviously impressed, and Stitch clapped a few times. "Nice. You know Turian?"

I nodded. "Well, not enough to speak in fluently, but I know a bit." They were staring at me with that deer-in-headlights look again. I coughed. "Well, um, we'd better get 628 back to Jumba."

Lilo snapped out of her trance. "Oh, yeah."

"Ah, little girls and dog have captured 628!" Jumba exclaimed once we showed him the now-growling experiment.

"Jumba, it's ok. Meghan knows Stitch is an alien… and a lot more," Lilo said.

Jumba seemed to ignore her comment for he went on to investigate 628. "What I is wondering is why 628 did not turn to mist like is programmed when in danger." He rubbed his overly-large chin.

"Maybe he doesn't know how," Lilo suggested.

"Of course knows how!" Jumba roared. "Is my evil genius experiment!"

"But remember Nosy? He had a glitch. Maybe 628 has a glitch, too."

Jumba sighed in defeat. "Yeas, am supposing so. So we'll have to delete part about changing to mist in bio." He walked over to his computer to make the adjustments.

"What about cousin?" Stitch asked.

"What about him?" Lilo asked back.

"One place where he belongs." Stitch hugged the glass tube.

"Oh, I think we'll figure that out in the morning. Its too late and it's a school night." Lilo yawned as she said this.

"Could I take him?" I suggested hopefully.

"What?" everyone asked at the same time.

"I think since this whole mess is my fault I should keep him for the night. Besides, I think Nani's got her hands full as it is and doesn't need another, and I quote, "little monster" on her hands."

Jumba looked at Lilo. "How is little blonde girl knowing about Pleakley?"

"You don't wanna know," Lilo muttered.

Pleakley entered the room at this moment. He had a blanket wrapped around him and was carrying a cup of mocha. "You'd better have a talk with that ice experiment of yours, Lilo. It's getting out of hand." He shivered and took a sip of mocha.

"It's not Slushy, Pleakley. Its 628." Lilo gestured to the experiment, which was now eyeing Pleakley with interest, it's bushy tail wagging excitedly.

"Well, get it under control, if you please. I don't want to… why is it staring at me that way?" Everyone looked at 628. It was drooling and was clawing at the glass.

"Its after me!" Pleakley screamed. "I don't want to die!"

"Wait, Pleakley!" Lilo stepped forward. "Give me your mocha." Pleakley handed it over. Lilo waved the mug in front of the glass, going in circles. 628 followed the cup wherever it went.

"It likes mocha!" I exclaimed. Pleakley seemed to notice me for the first time.

"Who are you?"

"I'm the person who'll be taking this little monster off your hands so you won't have to worry about getting killed." I lifted the tube into my arms. 628 growled softly.

628 was still looking at the mug of mocha with interest. "Well, see you tomorrow, Lilo. I'll keep Mocha safe until we find his one place."

"Mocha?"

"Oh, sorry. Did you want to name him? I just figured Mocha would e a good name for him since he likes mocha."

"Oh, no!," Lilo shook her head. "Name him whatever you want. I'll see you tomorrow."

I smiled. "Bye, Stitch." I waved to him.

"Bye," he answered.

Woot! Five pages on Word! My longest chapter yet! Don't worry, all you Hamsterveil lovers out there, he will be having a bigger part in this story.
