Finally! I graduated from High School and summer vacation started, Horray! Now I can get on with the Hamstervillan Wars. Sorry for the long wait Princess Pac. Now, on with the story! Oh, before that I have to put the ages of a few new common characters. All ages are roughly guessed based on the time advancement from the normal series of Lilo and Stitch.

Yuki: 15 years old

Elena 15 years old

Teresa: 16 years old

Victoria: 15 years old

Disclaimer: I do not own Puffy Amy Yumi or the cartoon series related to them. I do not own the experiment Snotty, it appeared recently in the series of Lilo and Stitch.

Chapter 10

Moments Reprieve

Location: Great Fox bridge

Lilo and the gang were standing before the GCW who was extremely pleased with their success in defending the Earth from the attack.

Star Fox Earth, the GCW started, please accept these Galactic Federation medals for your excellent work in protecting the planet from Hamsterviel's invasion.

Each member got a medal, including Yuki, Teresa, Elena, Angel, and Sparky.

Now for you Lilo. The GCW turned her gaze toward her. For extraordinary judgement under fire and going above and beyond the call of duty in order to save others I hereby present to you the Intergalactic Medal of Bravery.

Wow! Lilo exclaims. I am very honored. Thank you very much!

You are welcome. The GCW responded. The Galactic Federation salutes you.

Lilo turns around to face the bridge. All federation officials go into a salute stance in her honor.

And now for you Myrtle Edmonds. The GCW now turns to her. I have been watching you. I saw what a very good friend you were to Lilo, especially during this crisis. You were even able to predict her death and then take measures to successfully prevent it from happening. Only a real friend would that for another person. Because of this, it is my honor to present you with the Intergalactic Medal of Friendship. Wear it with pride.

Really? Myrtle said as she received the medal. I don't know what to say…except, thank you.

You deserve it. The GCW assured her.

The team turns to face all present in the bridge. Everybody cheers.

I also have an award to present. Peppy said while motioning the crowd to quiet down. I would like to award these Star Fox Medals to the newest members of the Star Fox Earth Team: Yuki, Teresa, and Elena.

Thanks a lot mister Hare. Teresa said.

Wait a minute, Elena suddenly cut in. Does that mean that…?

You are now officially authorized to use the arwings. You have learned all that you need to know.

This is great! Elena shouts out.

You said it. Teresa and Yuki responded simultaneously.

Welcome to the club. Myrtle said congratulating them.

Well, it seems like there is no enemy activity for the time being. Fox pointed out. Why don't you kids return to Earth and catch up with your family and friends. We'll call you if we detect anything.

That is a good idea. Lilo said.

So were finally going home, at least for a day. Myrtle said.

Let's get going. Keoni said, motioning toward the arwings.

Location: The island of Kuwai

They used the arwings to get back to Kuwai Island. Sparky returned to his lighthouse, while the others grouped at Lilo's home. There they were explaining to Jumba, Pleakley, and Nani about their training and adventures. They soon got to the part about the battle for Earth. After they finished explaining the details they waited for a response from Nani, but it seemed as if she was stunned. It took two minutes until she finally spoke.

So Myrtle, Nani started. What your trying to tell me is that you were protecting Lilo so that she wouldn't be killed in the battle, like your vision said?

Yes. Myrtle responded.

Lilo, Nani asked with a certain sign of disbelief in her voice. Is this true?

All of it. Lilo answered.

Nani just stood there until she suddenly burst into tears and hugged Myrtle tightly.

I thank you… Nani started while crying. I thank you for looking after my little sister and saving her. It was very hard for me to cope with my parents' deaths, but if I lost Lilo…I don't think I could take it! Even though I have Pleakley, Jumba and the others, it wouldn't be the same without her; I would feel completely alone.

She stops for a few seconds but then continues.

You deserve more than being called best friend. From now on you will be our sister, and you will always be welcome in our house.

Wow, Myrtle said, taken aback by this sudden show of thankfulness, but then she responded saying thank you.

What about Yuki, Teresa, Elena, and Victoria? Lilo asked.

Anybody who is your friend is ohana here. Nani assured her.

Oh, thank you Nani! Lilo and Myrtle said simultaneously.

You're very welcome. Nani said. Oh, by the way, Victoria called asking if you two want to have a slumber party with her and your experiment pets. She wants you to call her in order to set up where it's going to be.

Why don't we do it tonight at my house? Myrtle suggested.

Great idea, Lilo commented. But what about the others.

It's cool, Keoni said. We decided we want to see our own parents and see you in late morning.

YEAH! The girls said simultaneously. See ya later!

Bye guys! Myrtle said. See you tomorrow.

I'll call Victoria to tell her that the party is going to be tonight at Myrtle's house. Lilo said.

You do that. Nani responded.

Location: Myrtle's house

Wow, Lilo said as they approached Myrtle's house. Your house hasn't changed much over the years.

That's how it may seem on the outside. Myrtle agreed. There are, although, a few changes on the inside, especially noticeable in my room.

This reminds me when I accidentally blew up your bouncy pineapple in your birthday so many years ago. Stitch recalled.

Yeah, Myrtle recalled. That was when Lilo was trying to scare my friends and me into believing that there was such a monster known as the Geckoliky.

Everybody, including Lilo, laughed at the remembrance of the age-old incident. When they calmed down, Lilo was the first to speak.

Why don't we go and check it out? Lilo asked.

Lead the way. Myrtle answered.

They entered the house and were greeted by Myrtle's mom, Ms. Edmonds. Nani had called her in advance and told her all about Lilo, Stitch and Myrtle's adventures and also notified to her about the slumber party.

Myrtle! Lilo! Stitch! Ms. Edmonds welcomed them to the house. Welcome home! She hugs them both. She also patted Stitch on the head. She knew that he was an alien experiment, but she also knew that he liked to be patted.

Oh mom, I missed you so much! Myrtle responded, returning the hug.

So Ms. Edmonds, how were things around here while we were gone? Lilo asked.

Oh, the usual, nothing different. Ms. Edmonds responded. But I heard from Nani that you are now a captain and my daughter is now commander of your group, and that her psychic powers have awakened! I couldn't be more proud of you girls.

Thanks, mom. Myrtle said. Hey, where is Gigi?

She's around the house. Ms. Edmonds answered. She felt a little lonely since you were gone for three months. Gigi, come here girl.

In just seconds Gigi came running down the hall barking happily. She looks exactly like she did in the series, only somewhat larger. She jumps on Myrtle, knocking her into the sofa and starts liking her continuously in affection.

So, you missed me that much, did you? Myrtle asked her pet.

Gigi started barking rapidly like she normally does as if she was answering Myrtle's question. Lilo didn't understand but it seems like Myrtle understood Gigi perfectly.

Well I missed you too. Myrtle said hugging Gigi.

Myrtle, How did you understand Gigi? Lilo asked.

I communicated with her telepathically. Myrtle answered. Even experiments can talk normally telepathically. You didn't know that?

Well now I know. Lilo answered.

Gigi then sees Stitch and barks a greeting.

Aloha, cousin. Stitch greeted Gigi.

Let's go to my room. Myrtle said.

Yeah I wanted to see it. Lilo agreed.

Lilo and Myrtle start walking to Myrtle's bedroom. Gigi is in Myrtle's arms. When they enter the room Lilo sees Myrtle's old doll collection from when she was a kid. Even though they were a little dusty they still looked good, meaning that Myrtle took care of them before she was summoned into outer space. The most surprising difference, though, was that there were posters of the Japanese singing duo Puffy Ami Yumi and their animated counterparts pasted on all the walls. Lilo stared at the posters in awe.

Wow, Myrtle, when did you become a fan of Puffy Ami Yumi? Lilo asked.

Last year. Myrtle answered. I wonder why I never told you; maybe I thought that you would think that it was weird.

No, I don't, they're pretty cool. Lilo said. And their cartoon is funny too.

I got recordings of all their cartoons up to date. Maybe we could see them later. Myrtle suggested.

Wow! You're a true fanatic! Anyway, that would be a great idea. Lilo answered. Then they heard the doorbell ring. That must be Victoria. Lilo walked toward the door to let her other best friend in.

Hi Victoria! Please come on…WHOA! Lilo exclaimed when she saw what seemed to be a vampire bat latched on to her face, but then she calmed down when she remembered that it was Victoria's experiment pet, Snotty. The purpose of the experiment was to help Victoria with her mucus congestion that is caused by her allergies. (Yes, I know it sounds gross, but that is what happened in the series episode of Snotty.) After about five seconds Snotty separated from Victoria's face. She inhaled a few times, making sure that her nose was clear. Then she looked at Lilo.

Sorry you had to see that. Victoria apologized. The weird weather around her threw my allergies into overdrive. Thank goodness Snotty was with me or else I would never be able to breathe through my nose.

I completely understand. Lilo assured. Come on in.

Thanks, Victoria said. Oh by the way, I made a new zombie calendar with the help of Yuki, Teresa, and Elena.

Cool! Lilo exclaimed. We'll check it out later.

The girls and their experiments had a great time that night, they saw cartoons, played with Myrtle's dolls, checked the zombie calendar, and talked about the good old days when they were kids. After a while they all fell into a much-needed slumber.

The next day:

Lilo was awakened to the sound of her cell phone ringing. Myrtle and Victoria and the other experiments were waking up too.

Hello, who is this? Lilo asked.

It's me Keoni. Keoni answered. We have to get back to the Great Fox ASAP! Enemy activity has been detected over the northern part of the African continent.

Thanks a lot! Lilo said, hanging up the phone. Myrtle, Stitch, he have to get back to our arwings.

Okay! Myrtle answered and then turned her gaze to Gigi, who seemed sad that she had to go. I'll be back Gigi, I promise.

Hearing this, Gigi starts licking her like if she was saying "see you later". Then the girls had breakfast and said goodbye to Ms. Edmonds before Lilo and Myrtle and Stitch run out the door. Later while Lilo, Myrtle, and Stitch were running they discovered that Victoria was following them. They stopped and she caught up to them.

You should go home, Victoria. Lilo warned. Things could get dangerous.

I can help you. Victoria said.

How? Stitch asked puzzled. You don't even have a ship.

Oh, that's where you're wrong. Victoria replied, motioning for them to follow her.

Victoria led them to the back of Lilo's house, witch she recognized immediately, but then Victoria led them to an unfamiliar area, in witch there was what seemed to be a hangar. Victoria started opening the door to the entrance while she spoke.

Jumba worked overtime to make this ship for me. Victoria started. He was more than willing to do it when I told him I wanted to help you guys in the war. My parents already know about this and are okay with the idea, since my ship was made to be almost indestructible. Your friends, the Star Fox Team were also notified about this. Well, come on in.

Lilo, Stitch, and Myrtle entered the hangar. What they saw inside made their jaws drop. Victoria's ship looked exactly like the arwing but it was red to match Victoria's hair. It had triple trusters, Quad lasers, could carry up to 20 plasma smart bombs, had lock on capabilities, and the shields we're three times better than a normal arwing.

Wow, I mean WOW! Lilo exclaimed.

So this is your ship. Stitch said, clearly surprised.

Man, with you and your ship on our side, the chances of beating Hamsterviel would be even greater! Myrtle realized.

Yeah, and the best thing is that it cannot be stolen, because it only responds to my voice, my genetic code, and me. Victoria explained. You three should start up your own arwings and get into space; I'll meet with you shortly.

Okay! The others exclaimed as they ran out of the hangar.

Ten minutes later Lilo, Stitch, Myrtle, and Victoria blasted off into space to rendezvous with Keoni and the others.

End of Chapter Ten:

To Princess Pac and all authors that love Victoria from Lilo and Stitch the series. If anybody knows where in the Internet I could find a good picture of Victoria, please tell me! She is my favorite character, with Myrtle as a close second (Yes, Myrtle is my second favorite character, she just is.)
