Chapter 3: Upendi
625 led Angel to the top of a waterfall. It was the biggest waterfall in Kaui. Angel gazed down in awe.
"It is beautiful," she said dreamily.
Angel suddenly slipped on a rock and started falling down the waterfall. She grabbed 625's arm, but he fell in as well. They screamed as they hit the bottom.
Angel poked her head out of the water and looked around for 625. Where was he? 625 popped out of the water. He was facing Angel's back. He tapped her on her shoulder, making Angel turn around and scream.
"Don't do that!" she cried. "You scared me! I thought you were gone for good!"
625 was taken back by this, "You mean- you care about me?"
"Well, maybe, as a friend."
625 showed a slight smile as he said, "Right."
Suddenly something popped up at them. It looked like a blue monkey, but it had a face and ears like Stitch. It was Experiment 324.
"Oh great. The singing experiment," 625 moaned in annoyance.
324 was called SingSong. He was designed to sing songs to annoy people, but now he sung songs to teach people, even getting animals to join in. SingSong pushed Angel and 625 into the forest.
"Walk while I sing," SingSong said gleefully. "I'm taking you to a special place in your heart... called Upendi!"
625 and Angel obeyed SingSong. They could hear music start.
"There's a place where the crazy moon
Makes
the monkeys sing and the baboons swoon
And the sultry scent of the
lotus bloom
Will carry you away"
Angel picked a flower and put it under 625's nose, causing 625 to sneeze. The flower fell apart and flew away.
"Where the hippos swing from the jungle
vines
And the rhino rhumba in a conga line
And the pink
flamingoes are intertwined
As the stars come out to
play"
SingSong jumped up on the trees and spread his arms out wide as he sang.
"In Upendi
Where the passionfruit
grows sweet
And it's so divine
That you lose your mind
As it
sweeps you off your feet"
SingSong handed peaches to Angel and 625. Angel ate two, but 625 pushed all of them away.
"In
Upendi
Without a worry or a care
It just takes two
To make
it true
Your heart will lead you there"
SingSong pushed Angel and 625's noses together. 625 looked shocked and pulled away from Angel.
"You better watch your step 'cause the path is
steep
Better hold your breath cause the water's deep
It's a
long way down over Lovers' Leap
But falling's half the
fun!"
SingSong pushed the two down a hill. They landed on a hue leaf. Small creatures began to pull it through the forest.
"In
Upendi
Where the passionfruit grows sweet
And it's so
divine
That you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your
feet"
SingSong gave 625 some strawberries. This time he gobbled them up. Angel giggled and 625 gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"In Upendi
Without a worry or a care
It just
takes two
To make it true
Your heart will take you there"
All of the animals started joining in. Birds picked up the leaf 625 and Angel were on and flew up high.
"You can beat the bush like
there's no tomorrow
From Tanganyika to Kilimanjaro
But you'll
find Upendi wherever you are
Oh underneath the sun"
Angel suddenly got it. "I know what "Upendi" means!" she exclaimed.
"What?" 625 asked.
"It means love!"
"In
Upendi
Where the passionfruit grows sweet
And it's so
divine
That you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your
feet"
Animals were in pairs jumping from tree to tree. A bird flew off with them at the end. Angel and 625 held hands and jumped onto a tree, following the animals.
"In
Upendi
Without a worry or a care
It just takes two
To make
it true
Your heart will take you there"
Angel and 625 reached the end. A hawk picked them up and placed them on the ground.
"Upendi!
Down In Upendi
Way down
In
Upendi!
Down In Upendi
Way down
In Upendi!"
625 and Angel laughed, then started to calm down from all the excitement.
"We better meet Lilo and Stitch," Angel said suddenly.
"Ok," 625 agreed.
625 took Angel's hand, and they headed towards the park together.
