Part 4: The First Day of a New Life

The next morning, NiGHTS was still sleeping at sunrise. Same for her dragon, Terraine. Suddenly, Mertle's alarm clock rang and that woke up NiGHTS. She sat up and yawned, looking at the beautiful sunrise. It was time to set her life straight, especially with Jumba, Angel, and Stitch. She flew down towards the kitchen to get some breakfast.

"So, Mertle," she started. "When can I go out into the public to see Stitch?"

"Well, Lilo is always out at 9:00," Mertle replied. "So, be out there at that time. She always has Stitch with her."

"Good." NiGHTS looked down at her plate. "What is this?"

"Eggs, bacon, and pancakes." Mertle's mom replied. "Be sure you eat this before you go anywhere."

NiGHTS looked disgustedly at her plate. She never saw eggs look like that before, so she avoided them and just ate the bacon and pancakes. She flew up and went to the door after that until...

"NiGHTS!!!!" Mertle yelled. "You didn't eat your eggs."

"I hate eggs." NiGHTS replied boredly before she left up to the roof to get her dragon and go.

Meanwhile, in town...

Lilo, Stitch, and Nani were at the electronic superstore. Stitch saw a plasma t.v. and walked up to it. Then, suddenly jumped. He looked up and saw NiGHTS sitting on top of the television.

"Hey, Stitch," NiGHTS greeted. Stitch climbed up to her and sat next to her.

"Aloha, cousin," he greeted back. He looked at the dragon in her lap.

"Ooooooh, cousin," Stitch geered. This made NiGHTS chuckle.

"Yeah, his name is Terraine. A friend of mine gave this to me and I thought it would make a perfect playmate for you. You know, when Lilo's too busy."

"Neato! Oh, meega bring cousin orange juice." He handed a cup of orange juice to NiGHTS. She smiled before she took it.

"Thanks, Stitch." She took a sip. "That tasted great. So, how's Jumba been doing since I left last night?"

"Jumba been depressed. But, here's my question. That kiss we did last night, that wasn't meant to happen, right?"

"No, of course not. It was just a mistake." She took another sip of her juice. "Truly, I didn't mean to do it, it just happened."

"Ohhhhh, okay," Stitch replied. "Where did you go?"

"I went to Mertle's house to stay for the night."

"Mertle's?" Lilo asked as she walked up to the two.

"Yes. She seemed like a really nice person to me. As a matter of fact, I'm staying with her for the rest of my life."

"You're not really saying that, are you?"

"Yes, I am." She saw Mertle and her mom come in. "Isn't that right, Mertle?"

"Of course it is. She's staying with me, just to get away from you and your digusting uncle." Mertle answered. "But, she still wants to stay with your ugly dog. So, don't talk to her. C'mon, NiGHTS. Let's leave Weirdlo alone."

"Okay, Mertle," NiGHTS replied. She was stopped by Mertle before she left.

"Bring Stitch and that dragon with you. I do mean ALONE when I say it." she commanded.

Stitch smiled as he heard this, but in his head, he was a little nervous. He gets to stay with NiGHTS, but has to stay with Mertle as well. It wasn't an easy choice to him, but he took the plunge anyway.

"Isn't this great, Stitch?" NiGHTS asked. "With just you and me, nothing can come between us."

"But, meega don't feel comfy."

"About the fact that you're also staying Mertle, right?"

"Ih."

NiGHTS showed a look of concern. "Oh. Well, is there somebody, besides Lilo or Mertle that we can stay with together?"

Stitch thought quickly. "Ih. Meega know special place. The Kauai Spa Center."

"WHAT!?!?!?!?!" Lilo and Mertle yelled in unison.

"That's a great place, Stitch. Be sure you bring any other cousins you know with you."

"Including 625?"

"What about him?"

Stitch didn't answer NiGHTS. He just looked at her with a concerned look on his face.

Meanwhile, over at Gantu's ship...

625 was busy making more sandwiches while Gantu was asleep.

"Aw, the big baby fast asleep." he said to himself as he continued making sandwiches. Then, Hamsterviel appeared on the screen.

"Gantu?!?!?!?!?! Wake up, you useless experiment hunter you!!!!!!!!!" He yelled. That made Gantu wake up, hitting his head in the process.

"Sorry, Dr. Hamsterviel. I was just... uh, taking a snooze."

"I don't care. All I care about is you hunting down experiments for me! You know that!!!!!!!"

"Yes, I know. But, the little trog's location is unknown at the moment."

"It have better be known soon, you lazy bafoon you!!!!!!!"

"Hey, Gantu!" 625 called out.

"What is it, 625? Don't you have anything better to do?"

"Not really, but there seems to be a strange visitor comin' up."

"A visitor?" Gantu turned around and watched as he saw NiGHTS come up.

"Who is this?" Hamsterviel asked.

"Are you Gantu?" NiGHTS asked. 625 purred.

"Not as good as Angel, but hey, it's worth a living." He got thwacked in the head by Gantu after that remark. "Hey! I was just jokin'!"

"Right. I'm Gantu. What do you need?"

"I need 625. It's important."

"ALRIGHT!!!!!!!" 625 cheered. "Anything for you, babe!!!!" He went to the elevator and went down.

"By the way, my name's NiGHTS." She told the large alien before she left. Gantu and Hamsterviel were silent for a minute.

"This NiGHTS looks like a perfect assistant for me. I want you to capture her instead of 626." Hamsterviel said, breaking the silence.

"But, sir, I don't really think it could be that easy. She looks like a flying nightmaren."

"A what?"

"A nightmaren. I've read about those. They're not like humans. They're different."

"I don't care if she flies or not, I want you to find her and bring her to me!!!!!!"

"Yes, sir."

Meanwhile, at the spa...

All of Stitch's cousins, NiGHTS, and Stitch arrived at the Kauai Spa Center. It looked deserted, but brand new. The cousins are the following:

Bonnie & Clyde

Melty

Sparky

Kixx

Yang

Plasmoid

Angel (obviously)

Finder

Sample

Spike

Swapper

625

Houdini

and also including Terraine

All of them were astonished by NiGHTS' looks and voice, especially Yang, Melty, and Plasmoid. They were drooling while staring at her.

"Oh, behave." She said to the three sarcastically. They stopped immedeately.

"Now, cousins," Stitch started. "We're gonna make NiGHTS look like other people! She's getting makeover."

Sample played a "ta-da!!!!!" tune while smiling. NiGHTS became speechless.

"She's gonna be a brand new girl starting now!!!!!" Plasmoid led NiGHTS into a door. She followed and looked back at the others for a last look at the old her.

"Any advice before I do this?" she asked.

"Yeah!" 625 and Bonnie replied in unison.

"Me first," 625 told Bonnie. "This is for a reason. To keep Gantu from hunting you down."

"Why would he do that?"

"Because," Bonnie started. "Hamsterviel saw ya. Now, that he knows what you look like, he's gonna get ya for sure."

"Okay, you do have a point. I don't really wanna know why." Those were her final words before she went inside and closed the door. Everybody waited patiently.

On Part 5... NiGHTS gets a new look that will turn all of the men's heads. Plus, Gantu searches for her so Hamsterviel can use her as an assistant. Will he still be able to capture NiGHTS, even though she got a whole new look?
