Jennifer turned to look down the winding road that led to Lilo's home and sighed.It had been nearly 3 nearly days now since she had seen Lilo and 2 days herso-called 'Ohana'.

"I guess that means family."She muttered irrtabley under her breath and wraped her arms around herself as a slight chilly breeze managed to wrap itself around her.

"Oloha Jennifer!"Keoni greeted her casually as he leaped off his skate board and threw back his head to allow the water in his cantin to spill out of the opening and into his dry mouth.

"Geez,you're sweaty.Mahato give you some extra laps to do at track?"She asked in a friendly reply,gingerly pointing at his arm,which was practically drooling with....uhh...y'll get it!

"Y'know,Jenn.Mahato isn't a really bad guy once you get to know him.He's acutally a pretty OK guy,sometimes."

"Yeah right!In a pigs eye..."Jennifer laughed out loud.

"Right,right.Pigs eye,huh-uh!Good thing he's my grandfather."

"Yea,"Jen laughed breathlessly,without a pause,"Good thing he's you're grand-HUH?!!"

"Yeah,on my dad's side.Hey,listen,don't be embarrassed.That's how all my friends are when they first find out.So,no worries then!C'mon,lets go to the pizza parlor."Keoni smiled eagerly and rode off on his skateboard.

"He called me his......friend!"Jenn declared happiley and got on her own bike to follow him in pursuit.Forgetting Lilo.

Later...(On Gantu's ship,)

"Ohhhhh.....79,675 bottles of rootbear on the wall!79,675 bottles!Ya takes one done,pass'em around!79,674 bottles on the wall!Ohhhhh....79,674-HEY!"625 yelped in surprise,as Gantulodged an old,ratty gray gym sock in his mouth.

"The first 30,000 were bad enough,but if I have to hear another word that degrating song...I'll.....I'll!"Gantu dropped his arms in surender to 625 and glared wearily out the musty,forest-scummed window that was his space ship.It had been 4 hours in counting since they left and they still hadn't of picked up any indicationof where the heck it was.

"Ah,chill Tuna breath!I'm sure we'll find the stinking planet eventually."625 jeered Gantu in a false sense of hope,finally managing to pull the sock from it's lodge in his throat.

"I can always count on you to be the voice of hope and reason,625."Gantu spat sarcastically at him and sighed.

"Hey!What's that dimly lit light on that pitch-black planet doing on?"625 asked informatively,dropping the tooth pick he had been swirling around in his mouth and looking straight out the window at a small figment of light somewhere ahead.

"I don't know."Gantu awnsered,scratching at his head.

"Whatever it is,it sure looks like it's far away."625 shrugged and leaned back in his chair,letting his daze look return.

"I'll put it on screne.Then we can get an up close and personal look at it."Gantu said to himself mostly,pushing a button and small screne came down in front of them and showed an unknown dark figure,climbing into something that the light was on.He looked in a hurry,almost like he was.....escaping!

"Once those chumps are long gone.I,Dr. Hyrarrian Ektopus,along with 626 will take over this misguided unverise and turn it into the mega Hydro home-base!Heh heh."Dr. Hyde declared greedily and was just about ready to board his ship,when Stitch came up from behind him and whispered something in his launage very softly so only he heard.

"Oh,you think so!"Dr. Hyde retorted back slyly,whirling around to face them even though they couldn't see him,"Well,I partly figured this could happen.Luckily,I came up with my very own little back-up plan.Ha!"

"The only plan that we have is capturing you and helping those experiments!"Lilo defended Stitch,walking up beside him.

"How sweet.A human girl andher over-grown ailien mutant.Now I've heard of a boy and his dog,but this is just no fair."Dr Hyde sneered kiddingly and slapped the control collar on Stitch he had attached to his ship in one quick move.

"Stitch!"Lilo cried,utterly horrfied at what was happening.

"Naga!"Stitch growled in resistance and broke the collar just seconds before it could kick in and take effect.

"Stitch..."Lilo said whole-heartedly,although it was a whisper.

"No matter.You still have you're,dare I say it,second cousins to deal with,"Dr. Hyde kept his cool,while taking a few steps back into the ship's door,"Have fun.See you at the ?"Lilo repeated in a slightly bewildered tone,but then she froze in her words,"Oh...those,uh,cousins."

All four turned to come face-to-face,with what seemed like millions of red eyes staring curiously at them.The group shuddered and started to take a few steps back.But the eyes just seemed to get closer and closer,we're they gonners?

"Ah,is times like this I feel bad for taking you're lofa-on-a-stick to un-clog the toliet with and then carelessly tossing out window and into trash can."Jumba said in a mock upbeat tone,smiling down at Pleakley wating for a not-surpriesed reply.It took a few moments,but it came threw all right.

"Yeah,no wonder-WHAT?!!You mean you where the one who nearly flooded the bathroom and practically RUINED my scrubing tool!"Pleakley exploded in outrage.

"Well,it was either that or Nani's purse she accidently left in the bathroom."Jumba chuckled sheepishly,shrugging it off.

"Stitch?"Lilo gasped,now just realizing his absence,"Stitch?!"

"Eh!Comet Corp. Cousins good!They're good!"Stitch shouted from right next to one of the creatures.

"Stitch,let's stick to our plan and how the heck are they good?!"Lilo wanted to yell in a voice unlike her own.

"Plan?Ours?Naga eke tooka!"Stitch laughed haughtily.

"626 seems to think our plans just a flop and him and his second cousins plan are to being genius."Jumba translated bitterly,he hated it when experiments were smarter then he was.And these no-good,know-it-all Comet Corp. cousins weren't making it any easier for him,but he just as well gave in and followed they're plan anyways.

"Stitch,is this plan really going to capture Dr. Hyde?"Lilo asked,alittle doubt was lodged in her stomach at the moment.

Stitch turned to grin at her and said simply,"Oh yea."

Well,I know it's not what everyone's excepting maybe.I,mean,this one was kind of short.But I'm going to be busy for a couple of days and wanted to leave off somewhere slightly,semi-interesting.Which is Stitch and his second-cousins capturing they're own master and creator.But a surprise twist in chapter 8 will occur,believe it or not!Well,I gotta go live a life of abudance!Stay healthy,fit,exercise daily and keep you're eyes taped to you're keyboard to make you don't mispell anything when writing a review mor yourstruely!Thanx for stickin' and stayin' loyal,anyways.....peace!XD
