Sorry if this chapter's short. Also there's no pressure on new chapters. Writing stories is my passion. I need to get this story done until June 17th, before I go on vacation. Keep the reviews going!

Chapter 11

625... Bad?

Marie woke up in the morning, as the sun shone down over her from the window. She got out of bed to wake 625, to tell him about her hula dancing show later today. She could see that her friend 625 wasn't in bed. She noticed his squeaky toy in her hands and dropped it onto the floor.

'' Where'd 625 go to? Hmm, maybe he's in the bathroom throwing up again''.

She went to the bathroom to find it completely empty.

'' This has got to be one of 625's little hiding games, again. Okay, the first thing that I would look for him is in the kitchen since he's usually there, making sandwiches, even though that is going to be the second place I'll look.''

She happily went downstairs to surprise 625, even though he wasn't there,'' Come out, 625. I know you're in here, hiding again.''

Peg glared at Marie,'' Marie, what are you doing?''

'' Looking for 625. Have you seen him anywhere?''

'' I saw him last night.''

'' You did?''

'' Yep, he hurt himself last night, so I checked on him. He was okay.''

'' Maybe he's with Gantu. I'll see them later, after I get into my hula skirt.''

'' Okay.''

Marie left to her bedroom. Peg was reading the newspaper and it showed another article of two break ins.

'' Last night the Aloha souvenir shop was destroyed as someone broke hundreds of dollars worth of souvenirs and the money wasn't even robbed...'', Peg read.

She scoffed,'' What kind of idiot would break into a store and not steal the money?''

She resumed reading,'' Also Tim's Trophies store was another break in, everything was destroyed, still no money involved. No witnesses has come forward with any reports. Reporters have no idea if this has to go along with the grocery store break in too...''

'' Still whoever broke into the stores without stealing the money was an idiot. Great... I'm starting to sound like 625.''

(Speaking of 625...)

625 was in the park sleeping in a tree trunk on the ground, snoring softly. A stray dog went up to him and licked him on the face.

'' Hi Marie... When are we going to the sandwich shop?'', 625 sleep-talked.

He opened his eyes to see the stray dog sniffing his rear end,'' Hey shoo!''

He kicked the dog in the face,'' Get away from me! Stop sniffing my patookie!''

The dog backed away from 625, and began to growl. 625 squeaked. He climbed up the tree and threw sticks at the dog,'' Go away! Don't you have a cat to chase?''

The dog barked at 625. 625 climbed up some more branches. A thought just came to his mind.

'' So that's why that dog at the vet growled, he must have sensed my ''illness''. Duh! Why didn't I just realize that until now?''

He continued to throw the sticks. The dog stopped barking and stared at 625, while sitting down by the tree. 625 decided against all hope to climb down the tree, hoping that he wouldn't be the dog's new chew toy. He laid down on the ground on his side. He had to be submissive.

'' Hello? Come and sniff me. I need to know if that sickness have done anything else to me''.

The dog carefully walked up to 625 and sniffed his nose. 625 did the same to the dog, sniffing the dog's nose,'' I could get used to this... Wait... I'll never get used to this.''

625 waited for a growl from the dog, he heard one. 625 growled back. His glitch was coming back to him. 625's eyes turned green and his vision was distorted, the only thing he could see was static. The dog yelped and ran away. 625 growled and

wasn't walking normally.

He walked disoriented, around the park, as the glitch took control of him, no matter how hard 625 tried to fight it off. People at the park stared at 625 in horror and in awe. They thought he was rabid.

One tall man had a bat with him, and whacked 625 on the head.

'' Aaahhhh! Ooooooohhhhhhh!'', 625 groaned, as his eyes and attitude were normal again,'' What's the big idea?''

'' Talking creature! Aaaahhhhh!'', The man screamed, as he ran away from 625.

625 rubbed his head and closed his eyes,'' Oh, my head''.

He noticed all the people staring at him. 625 made a sheepish look on his face,'' Uh, nothing to see here folks.''

He got up and left the park, feeling very embarrassed.

He sighed and walked up a hikers path, hoping that'll lead him out of people's sight.

His stomach growled, in hunger,'' Shut up, stomach!''

He saw nobody near him. 625 became lonely,'' Sometimes the life of a vagabond is a real lonely one indeed. Now where should I go?''

He decided to take any random path, he chose.

(Meanwhile...)

Jumba and Hamsterveil were inside Jumba's lab. Hamsterveil was singing an annoying song that was getting in Jumba's nerves.

'' The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round...'', Hamsterveil sung.

'' Shut up! You are getting in all my nerves! Sing a different song for a change!'', Jumba shouted,'' Or else you be going round and round... in washing machine.''

'' Very well then'', Hamsterveil sighed.

He sung another stupid song, to the tune of wheels on the bus,'' I know a song that gets on Jumba's nerves, Jumba's nerves, Jumba's nerves...''

'' Shut up! You're starting to behave like 625! When he started singing that, he was used for target practice for 626, with new untested blasters.''

'' Speaking of 625, when will that glitch start affecting him?''

'' Right about now. We should watch news. 625's glitch shall make him have an urge to destroy things. He'll be drawn to delicate things and maybe break into stores to destroy things.''

He turned on the t.v.

'' Late last night there were two break ins in two different stores. One was Tim's Trophies and the other was the Aloha souvenir shop, just a few blocks away from each other. While the police checked the surveillance tapes they got footage of this strange green eyed creature destroying everything in sight, even though the picture quality on the tape was very blurry...'', a news reporter said, on the t.v.

A tape was shown on the news and it showed a very blurry 625 with glowing green eyes destroying the items in the shop.

'' Ha! Glitch is in effect! We have to capture 625 right now, before he runs away to another place'', Jumba shouted,'' Wait! Hamsterveil you stay here. I'll capture 625.''

'' Good luck, Jumba. Don't let Experiment 625 escape'', Hamsterveil said.

Jumba went into the house and gathered a capture container and looked at Pleakley, who was still asleep since Swirly hypnotized him.

'' Sleep tight one eyed one'', Jumba said. He left the house in search of 625.

Lilo and Stitch stared at Pleakley.

'' If Pleakley keeps sleeping, he'll be just like Rip Von Winkle, the guy that slept for twenty years'', Lilo said.

Stitch shuddered,'' Naga Bootifa!''

Jumba got into the red buggy and drove it to find 625.
