Chapter 5: 628 Found
Stitch heard something weird in the distance, something that sounded like, "Urit." He had no idea what this meant, of course, besides the alien meaning of "lake," but he felt like it was his best lead.

Pleakley by now was very bored and very scratched up. His eye was red, and his fingers were swollen, except for his first finger on his left hand. "Hey, don't you think we should take a break by now?" he asked. "It's been really dark for a long time."

Stitch swiveled his head towards Pleakley. His eyes were red, which means he had his night vision on. "Oh, I see..." Pleakley said, sort of disappointed. He grabbed on to the little monster's ears and sat down, bored yet again. But in a minute, Pleakley because to rock back and forth. Then he stood on Stitch's back. Then, as he yanked on 626's ears, he started yelling, "YEEHAW! RIDE 'EM COWBOY! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Stitch grabbed Pleakley in a blink of an eye and pressed him against the ground. He growled, then made the shushing sound. Pleakley nodded. Stitch set Pleakley on his back again, rubbed his ears to make a point, then started running again.

In the middle of the game, while Lilo was chasing 628, 628 halted. Lilo ran into him, then looked up at him strangely. His ears were perked up. Suddenly, from out of the blue, came, "YEEHAW! RIDE 'EM COWBOY! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" "Pleakley!..." Lilo thought. 628 growled, then snatched Lilo and shoved her behind a rock and told her to stay put. Lilo tried to sneak away, but 628 hissed, and Lilo slowly backed into her hiding place again.

Stitch looked all around, trying to find the place where 628 was hiding. It could be anywhere. He lifted his auds and moved them around, trying to hear the faintest of sounds. Quickly, his eyes were drawn upon on spot: the entrance to a cave. "Stay hidden here," Stitch told Pleakley. Then he inserted his hind legs into his mouth and rolled to the side of the entrance to the cave.

Pleakley ducked down, but felt this was too far away to see anything good. He did the worm all the way to a giant rut coming out of the ground, and then crawled up behind it. It just barely fit his head.

628 got in a fighting stance, then hopped out of the cave. He looked around, but Stitch ducked behind a rock before 628 could see anything. 628 didn't sniff, thank goodness, but just walked back into the cave and shrugged.

Now that 628's back was to the entrance, 626 made his move. He rolled quickly into the entrance and behind a rock. 628 pivoted on his heel and looked around. He shrugged again, seeming to forget about his nose. Stitch crawled out from behind the rock and over to Lilo's hastily.

"Stitch! You're--" Stitch covered Lilo's mouth in a jiffy. 628 walked over to the rock and looked behind it. Lilo looked up at him and gave him the "There's no one here... duh..." look. 628 sniffed, then turned around. Stitch was full alien right behind him. 628 growled, then got in a fighting stance. Stitch smiled smugly, then yelled, "FEEBOOGOO!" 628 lunged for 626...
