Lilo added a dash more eyeliner,before looking over her carefully done face.She had on peach lip gloss,emerald eye shadow,light blush and just a dab of perfume around her neck.She was offically a teen.Well,in 1 more year she would be.Lilo had changed a great deal in the last few years,being a little concerned boys,looks,and such.But one thing stayed the same,her love for her and compassion for her Ohana.

"Stitch!Just the little blue ailien I wanted to see,does my new eye shadow look OK?"She inquired,as the the little blue experiment patted casually into the room.

"Err.....Eh!Very......Bebata gouahta."He said finally,after nearly biting his own lip off in concentration,grinning his usual grin.

"Is that suppose to mean good?"Lilo asked,her eyebrow arched slightly.

"Eh."

"Thanks,but I think I'll just ask Nani's oppion on this one.By the way,where is she?"

Shrugging,Stitch whirled around in one shift motion and headed back down to the main floor into the kitchen for some breakfeast.With a sigh,Lilo gathered her things and looked at herself once more in the long,lingering mirror.Am I cool enough to be in the big league now?She wondered and thought back to when she use to not care what anyone thought about her.

"Changes,heh,funny."She chuckled to herself and trailed after her best friend.

"No.....sorry little monster.But only 2 servings of my delicious,homemade Chocolate chip cassrole."Pleakley was saying in his natuarally high-pitched voice,when Lilo walked in.

"Is that suppose to be healthy?Ah,what am I knowing after all this time of being on Earth."Jumba said,observing Pleakley's concoction doubtfully.

"Naga care."Stitch repiled,while engulfing the entire cassrole in one gulp.

"Oh,morning Lilo.Sleep well?"Pleakley asked in a mock-cheerful tone,now just noticing her.

"I've slept better,what's for breakfeast?"Lilo tried an everythings-fine act.But the 3 ailiens had known her long enough to know that something was up.

"Well,you are saying you have slept better,but you are still acting as if everything is to you're likeing."Jumba pushed onwards with the subject,as the young girl sat opposite of him.

"Everythings fine,guys.Don't worry about it."She retorted tactfully.

"Well,there is just no need for that kind of behaviour at breakfeast time.Now,eat up!"Pleakley piped up,in his normal perky tone again as he seated himself on opposite from where Nani was busily chattering away on her cell phone.

"David,for the 100th time!I can't go out tonight,I have to work late again and won't be home til real,real late."

If there was one thing that hadn't changed,it was Lilo's older sister and guardian,Nani.She may have been nearing her 30th birthday,but she was as persistant and outgoing as ever.Lilo,for one,was amazed that her sister could have time to be herself most of the times,while still balancing a job and raising a family at the same time.Just then the doorbell sounded.

"I'll get it!"Lilo said quickly and hurried to the front door.

"Lilo!"Jennier Jenson,Lilo's new friend from just last year,appeared in the doorway.

"Jen!"Lilo cried in glee and the two hugged like old friends.

"Naga okabha."Stitch muttered in a disgusted tone under his breath,as he trotted up to the two.

"Jen,you've remember Stitch my......uh,dog."Lilo told her friend,nearly letting the secret slip.

"Oh,do I!Hey there lil' guy,who's a good boy?Who's a good boy?"Jennier gushed,scratching Stitch behind the ear affectionately.

"Bleh,"The little ailien scoffed and dashed off back into the kitchen.

"Someone has a temper."Jen giggled.

"Yeah,uh-huh.Ready to go?"Lilo tried changing the subject,Stitch had been acting awful jealous lately and she was worried.Another thing that hadn't changed,Lilo's tender heartedness for anything or anybody she felt needed it.

"Lilo,I was just wondering-oh ohloha Jennier.How are you?"Nani said in a hurried voice as she despreately tried getting her things together before taking off for work.

"Hi Nani.Sorry,but what's ohloha mean?I'm not much of a hawian yet."

"It means 'hello' silly.C'mon,let's get going."Lilo interupted,shoving Jennifer out the door.

Meanwhile....

"Hey,what's that beeping noise?"Pleakley asked curiously,clearing off the table.

"Not knowing.Oh,wait!It's just my Experiment Tracker 1800XZY."Jumba repiled,fishing around in his back pocket for the device.

"Is there a new one on the lose?We haven't had any for a long time now!"

"Not to being worried.All experiments of my making have either been captured or de-activated a long time ago.But still..."He went on,with mock-interest,as he looked to see what it was.

"But.....?"Pleakley asked timidly.

"But maybe we are not as quite done as orignally intended to be."
