The next morning after a breakfast of berries and fruit, the experiments were on their way. They could see the mountain up ahead, and they only looked a few miles away. Angel had her mind on the night before. That experiment had interrupted her.
"I wonder who that experiment was?" Angel pondered out loud.
"Which experiment?" Deli questioned, not quite remembering.
"The one that attacked us last night," Angel explained, jogging Deli's memory. It's programming must have something to do with violence or something."
"Meega and Lilo will find it later," Stitch stated sincerely. Gantu would surly be after it. And he didn't want him to capture an experiment like that!
After what seemed like hours of doing nothing, the experiments reached the bottom of the mountain. Stitch looked up the mountain. It was very large, and there was snow farther up. It sure was high! Stitch turned to face Angel. "Now what?" he asked impatiently. He hoped she wasn't going to say what he thought she was going to say.
"We have to climb to the top of the mountain," Angel explained, much to Stitch and Deli's dismay. They both groaned loudly.
"Do we have to?" Deli complained in an almost whine.
"If you want Stitch and I to turn back to normal, then yes."
Deli sighed softly and turned to face the mountain. The other two did the same.
An hour passed by and Stitch, Deli, and Angel were almost at the top of the mountain, but they decided to stop for a few minutes to catch their breath. The reached a part of the mountain that had a large indent. Looking more carefully at it they realized it was a cave!
"Cool!" Stitch exclaimed with excitement. "Let's go inside!"
Deli and Angel glanced at each other and shrugged. But before any of them couple move, they heard a loud rumpling sound. The looked up to see an avalanche of rocks and snow! They all screamed and ran inside the cave. They each held their breath until the noise was gone.
They all looked at the entrance, but Stitch was the only one who could see because it was completely dark, and only Stitch could see in the dark. Deli probably could if he tried, but he didn't. So Stitch was the only one who could see that their entrance was blocked.
Stitch let out a long sigh as he sat down and stated sadly, "It's blocked. We can't get out. It'd take to long to move the rocks, and by then we'd already be ghosts."
Deli sat down next to Stitch. "Oh well, can't say we didn't try," he nodded bluntly.
Angel rolled her eyes at the males. There had to be a way out! As she looked towards the back of the cave, she smiled and turned back to her cousins. "There is another way out!" she told them excitedly.
"Gaba?" Stitch questioned, not understanding how she knew this.
Angel started explaining what she meant as best as she could. "If you look you can see a faint light. The light has to be coming from somewhere. Therefor there must be another way out!"
Stitch's eyes brightened, and he dashed off deeper into the cave, calling out, "Maka maka!"
Deli and Angel scurried after him and quickly got in front of Stitch so he would know where to go. They all stopped running, reducing to a steady pace. Stitch glanced over at Deli. Now he realized that he really wasn't that bad. And he felt guilty for how he had treated him earlier.
"Uh, Deli?" Stitch began with a gulp. This was really hard for him. He usually didn't like to admit he was wrong.
"Yeah?" Deli asked, giving Stitch a friendly smile.
Stitch gulped again and continued confidently. "I'm, uh, sorry for how I've been treating you."
"That's ok, Cuz," Deli smiled warmly at Stitch. "I forgive you."
Stitch breathed a sigh of relief. He sure was glad that was over! And he was glad that Deli forgave him. Stitch wasn't looking where he was going, causing him to bump into Angel, who had apparently stopped.
"Up there!" Angel said as she pointed to a hole at the top of the cave. "That's probably our only chance of getting out."
Stitch knew it was his que and climbed up the wall. When he got to the whole he began tearing it apart to make it bigger. Deli and Angel stepped aside as pieces of rock fell to the ground. Soon the whole was big enough for them to fit through. Stitch helped Deli and Angel out, and then they were off!
A half-hour later the experiments reached the top of the mountain. They gasped as they saw five ghosts standing-er- floating before them. Angel stepped forward and spoke, "Stitch and I have eaten ghost food." She motioned for Stitch to come forward.
"Very well," one of the ghosts, probably the leader, said in deep voice. "We will cure you."
Two of the ghosts floated over to Stitch and Angel. Both of them felt one of the ghosts go inside them. They didn't feel anything except coldness. About a minute later the ghosts emerged from their bodies.
"You are now cured," the leader ghost boomed. "You may now go back the way you came."
The experiments thanked the ghosts before continuing down the mountain.
Note: I just thought I'd let you know that the next chapter will be the last.
