I sigh as I watch Starry set up some video game system. Wait... where'd she get a videogame system? Lilo doesn't even have one!
"Um, Starry, how'd you get a videogame thing?" I ask.
"Pleakly left one of his credit cards out in the open. And I was bored so.." she replies,
nodding her head towards her new videogame thing. "It plays DVDs too."
"Oohhh... really? Well, Pleakley can find out you bought it when his credit card bill arrives in the mail."
"Hm... well, I plan on destroying the bill as soon as it arrives.."
"That works too... can I play?"
"Later.." Starry then connects some wires from the video game system to the TV.
"Where did you little monsters get that video game?" Pleakly asks, walking into the room with a featherduster.
Starry turns around." Why are you wearing Nani's clothes?"
Pleakly shifts his eye."Fair enough." Then walks right back out. Starry smirks, then goes right back to setting the game system up. Sheesh, it gets boring here kinda quick. I stand up off the couch and walk over to the window. Huh? Why is it so dark outside?
"Uh, Starry, what time is it?" I ask.
"Almost noon." Maybe it's just a big storm coming or something. But those are odd looking clouds.. I should see what's up. I close my eyes, and my mind pictures the odd clouds, scanning every detail about them. Huh.. these aren't storm clouds. I don't think they're even clouds. It's kinda got the consistancy of smoke.But then.. what is it? Possibly exhust from a car or something.. but there's so much of it. It can't be exhust.
I come back to reality as Starry speaks. "Something up? The orbs on your antenni are glowing(1)."
"Just observing the dark stuff in the sky."
"They're probably just clouds or something.. don't worry about it."
"Actually I don't think they are clouds."
"You worry too much... you need to be a little more apathetic about stuff. Makes it a heck of a lot easier, not to mention makes life not so stressfull. Anyway, the videogame system is hooked up. You wanna play? I'll let you go first." My ears perk up hearing that. Starry hands me the controller and walks away.
"Hey! Where are you going?" I ask.
"I'm gonna go get Jumba's laptop," she retorts. Didn't Jumba say we couldn't get on it anymore because yesterday Stitch was surfing the web and the laptop got that nala qweesta virus thingie? Starry comes running back, the computer in her hands. "Come on.. hurry up and load! I gotta hurry before Jumba comes back in from the ship.."
"Doesn't that thing have a virus?"
"I'm pretty sure Jumba fixed it. If not, well, I'm pretty good at computers.." The screen comes up. Starry presses a few buttons. "Yeah. It's already been fixed.." I shrug, and put one of the videogames into the game system.
"Uh.. so how do you work the controller?"
Starry sighs." The left stick controls the movement of the character. The right one controls the camera angle. That button makes the guy jump, and that one makes a weapon fire. You could just look at the little booklet guide you know." Her gaze then goes back to the screen, and she clicks a few more buttons. I roll my eyes and begin the videogame.
After an hour of pure frustration, I turn the game off. Starry is still on the computer, continuesly clicking the buttons on the keyboard. I'm surprised Jumba hasn't come inside yet. What is she doing on that thing? She gets a sly look on her face.
"I think I found the cause of the darkness." She slides the laptop around so I could see the screen."Experiment 439. He can control the element shadow. He probably doesn't like the bright sunlight, so he created something to block the light. Wonder what else he can do with power over shadow.." I shrug. Cause nightmares maybe, then there's the obvious... blocking out light. "We better tell Lilo and Stitch next time we seem 'em," she says, turning the computer off. "I better hurry and put this back upstairs.."she mutters.
As soon as she runs back downstairs, Jumba walks into the house, heading towards his room. He was muttering something about the darkness outside.
"That was close," Starry says as Jumba closes the door of his room. She notices I'm not playing the game anymore and jumps over the back of the couch and turns the game on. I turn my head as the front door creaks open again. Lilo and Stitch walk into the room.
"Starry, could you stop playing your videogame? We need to check the weather channel-wait where'd you get videogame system?" says Lilo.
"Uhh... Jumba made it," Starry says, quickly turning off the videogame and walking out of the room to avoid further questions. I laugh on the inside.
"Well, the weather channel won't give much info.. I did a scan, those aren't real clouds," I inform her.
"Wait.. how'd you do a scan?" To answer her question, I point to my antenni."Oh."
"Cousin causing the darkness?" Stitch guesses.
"Probably," I mutter. "Well, if you wanna go look for it, I suggest you guys leave before Nani comes home. Otherwise you'll never leave."
"Yeah.. we better go ask Jumba what experiment might be causing it," says Lilo, running out of the room and up the stairs. Starry glances into the room as she hears Lilo and Stitch go upstairs.
"You better not use Pleakly's credit card to buy more stuff, cause eventually they'll find out how you got that stuff," I say to her.
"Eh.. I wasn't planning on using it daily.. it's more of an... emergency boredom thing. Anyways, this teaches Pleakly a lesson. That he shouldn't leave his credit cards lying around the house." I roll my eyes.
"I keep forgetting to ask... what are you gonna do about all that stuff you took in that abandoned house? The police is still looking for you, and all that stuff,"I ask.
"I've been thinking of that too," she replies,laying downon the couch and putting her legs on armrests.
"And?"
"I've got a plan. I just call the police, saying I think I found the stolen stuff in that abandoned house. I don't say ANYTHING about me being the theif, I'll justsay I didn't see the thief."
"What if they ask you why you were near the house? Hmm?"
"I was playing frisbee with you, and the frisbee went over near the house," she states simply.
"And when did you start thinking of this plan?" I just had to ask that. Starry seems to have thought all the things the police might ask.
"Yesterday, and some of today," she says placing her arms behind her head. "I've gotta a lot of spare time, and I just zone out and begin to think about stuff. Plus, you forget, I'm programmed for this kinda stuff." She watches as Lilo and Stitch come back downstairs, grabbing some flashlights, and waves slightly as they run by. "They better hurry.. Nani's coming home in aboutfifteenminutes..."
"In that case, we better find a place to hide.." I mutter. "That is, if Lilo and Stitch still aren't back."
"To do that all we gotta do is go outside to hide," she says pointing to the window, with an apathetic look on her face. "The dark fog is great for hiding from Nani."
(1)-Whenever Skye is manipulating clouds-or scanning the stuff in the sky- the orb's on his antenni glow. They send out invisible waves, giving him the info he needs on the stuff, and giving him the power to control the clouds to do whatever he wants. I have too much time on my hands if I can give an explaination for this stuff...-.-
