Jumba's Daughter

by Lady Wraith of Shangri-La

Jumba created Kelly because he wanted a family. Hamsterveil wants her to use her as a way of getting even. Lilo wants her as a friend. Myrtle just wants to hate her.

What's in a Number?

Lilo was unable to sleep and went to Jumba's make-shift lab and started poking around on the computer. She was bored senseless and needed something to do in order to fall asleep. Reorganizing Jumba's files normally did the trick. However, this time it had the opposite effect. "JUMBA!" Jumba came running with the rest of the family hot on his heels. "You…you…YOU DORK!" Lilo pointed at the computer. "You've got 780 Experiments on this thing, and NONE of them fit Kelly's description."

"Thank you, little girl! Jumba is now remembering why he was always calling Kelly 627! She is being is six hundred twenty-seventh attempt at making daughter. First 626 of them always exploded for reasons I am still not understanding. Never got around to the whole naming thing."

"So, I'm not an Experiment?" Kelly asked, trying to understand what was being said.

"Not really. You are my daughter because I changed my own DNA to required gene sequence and here you are!"

"I'm not an Experiment!" Kelly and Lilo started dancing around. Kelly then stopped and asked, "So, why haven't I aged? Why do I look more human than you? What's up with the weird powers? What else can I do? How much like you am I?"

"Kelly…slow down with the questioning. Granted, an evil genius your father is being, but not knowing those answers." Jumba was still feeling confused. He was certain that Kelly would have been angry, but was thrilled that she wasn't. Nani looked at the time and said, "Okay, now that we've gotten that worked out, CAN WE ALL GO TO BED?" Everyone took the hint and fled.

Outside 625 glared at the scene. He had snuck over in order to swipe the mustard (Gantu never bought the right kind) when he overheard everything. So…while 626 was busy being a pain in the butt, Jumba had locked himself away in his lab and was trying to create something that would replaced all of them. An experiment that would have gotten a name, not a number. 625 stalked away, forgetting about the reason why he had been there to start with. Once back at the ship, he contacted Hamsterveil. Glaring at the screen, 625 snarled, "You aren't going to believe what I have to tell you."

Oh, boy. 625 isn't in the tiniest bit happy right now. And Hamsterveil isn't going to be any happier. Jumba will explain everything in the next chapter.
