The sun slowly set over the horizon of the beach that the galactic federation drop ship landed on. As the sun disappeared behind the ocean and its white rays of light turned orange, to red, and finally nonexistence; a peaceful calm blanketed the beach.

A lone crab scurried out unto the beach with its eye sticking out darting in every way checking to make sure he wouldn't become a quick meal for a predator. Its eyes looked at the ground below it searching for food. As it scurried around the beach it came across a small hole in the sand the size of a bottle cap. It placed one of its legs into the hole and probed around. Suddenly, without warning, the crab was sent sailing through the air as a small, red, dirt covered paw exploded out of the sand and slapped its self against the beach. The rest of the sand around the arm began to crack and crumble as a small red creature emerged with its eyes closed. It jerked its head violently cracking its neck and opened its eyes. Eyes that were a bright yellow color. The yellow slowly faded away as it took several slow deep breaths and walked off into the forest near by.

Shauni sat awake in her make shift bed in Lilo and Stitch's room. She couldn't think about one single thing. Her mind kept racing over dozens of ideas, all about Kyle. She thought about how he was isolated but nice to her when she first met him, she thought about how he was turned into project alpha an how she made him remember who he was. She thought about how he nearly gave his life to get everyone out safely. And she thought about how he didn't want her. Shauni got up out of her pineapple crate and stood on the elevator platform in the room. She looked up at Stitch who had his blue arm wrapped around Angel's waist as the elevator quietly lowered her to the hallway.

Shauni walked down the hallway and turned into the living room looking at a shelf full of books. Shauni looked over the books and pulled out the dictionary and opened it up to the letter "k". Shauni flipped through a couple pages searching for a definition of Kyle's name but a different word caught her eye.

"Ka-ma-ka-zee…" Shauni remembered Kyle destroying the fusion generator and trapping himself not knowing for sure if he'd survive. Shauni smiled and looked out the window. The sun was coming up beautiful orange and red colors were spilled across the sky. The reds reminded her of Kyle's fur. Shauni looked down at the book and then walked out of the living room towards the door. She crawled through the dog door and hopped down the stairs and out into the forest.

Shauni walked over to the clearing that Kyle had his van parked and immediately smelled something burning. Shauni ran around to the back of the van where she found the rear doors wide open. A duffle bag flew out of the back of the van and landed on the ground with a loud metallic clank. Kyle came walking across the mattress counting dollar bills and smoking a cigar. Shauni looked at the cigar. "I didn't know you smoked."

Kyle looked up at Shauni and squinted his eyes. "Bug off. I'm getting out of here." Kyle hopped off of the rear bumper and opened the duffle bag and pulled out a couple of scrap pieces of angle iron.

"where are you going."

Kyle put one of the pieces of angle iron in front of one of the rear tires. "Sumwhere else."

Shauni walked towards him. "Can I come?"

Kyle crawled under the van and placed another piece of angle iron in front of the other rear tire. "No." Kyle crawled out from under the van and crawled into the driver's seat.

Shauni jumped into the back of the van and walked over to the front. "Why not?"

Kyle picked up the key out of the coup holder and crammed it into the ignition and started the van up. "Because…" He slammed the car into gear and jumped out of the seat onto the accelerator. The van's engine roared as the rear tires screeched in the mud.

Shauni looked down at him. "That's not an answer." Kyle ignored her and slowly counted down from three. "What is it? Huh? Do you not want me around?" as soon as Kyle reached one the angle iron in front of the tires caught the tread of the tires, got sucked under the tire and the van jerked forward sending Shauni to the back of the van, out the rear door and into the mud.

The van stopped and the engine killed as Kyle hoped out of the driver's seat and walked over to Shauni and bent down into her face. Kyle looked at the cigar in his mouth and took it out and held it away from Shauni. "I asked you to leave me alone. Ok?" Kyle held out a paw to her. Shauni reached for his hand and he pulled her up. Kyle looked at her fur. The whole front of her body was covered in mud minus her face.

Kyle reached into his van and pulled out a towel and threw it at her. "Wipe most of it off. Unlike my dad I don't care if my car gets dirty." Shauni looked up from the towel and smiled. "Besides, I need someone t press the gas and the break peddle while I steer."

Lilo sat up out of her bed, yawned, and stretched her arms. She looked over at Stitch and Angel. Angel had her paw on top of Stitch's paw who was scratching her belly. Lilo jumped down out of her bed and onto the elevator pad. As she went down the elevator tube she could hear the sounds of a large vehicle coming down the driveway. Lilo stepped off the elevator pad, walked down the hallway and looked out the door. Kyle's van was stopping and going abruptly and finally game to a halt. "Jumba! Kyle's here!"
