"This place hasn't changed much since we were here last" Ron commented.
"Maybe, but my family has had a lot of really neat adventures" Lilo replied "and I can bet you guys have too."
"You have no idea how big" Kim replied.
"We're talking huge, gigantic!" Ron said "if we told you what we'd been through, it would knock your socks off. If you wore socks, I mean."
"He's exaggerating" Kim explained.
"I hate to be rude Kim, but I think an alien invasion that almost destroyed Middleton and, you know, the world, can qualify as being huge" Ron countered.
"You guys fought aliens?" Lilo asked with wonder.
"Yeah, it was pretty scary" Kim replied "almost as bad as having to choose colleges."
"I'd say they're pretty much even."
"Has anybody seen my blonde wig?" Pleakley interrupted, coming down the stairs "I was thinking of trying a new hairstyle today and…"
The one-eyed alien froze when he saw who Lilo and Stitch were talking to. "Oh my gosh! It's Kim Possible, and Ron Stoppable!" Pleakely exclaimed "I haven't been this excited since the last time you visited!"
"Hey, um, 'aunt' Pleakley" Kim said "long time no see."
"Thanks for getting the name right" Ron added "I cannot tell you how many people either get it wrong or forget about me all together."
"Oh, I couldn't forget about you, I've been following you two for a while now" Pleakley explained.
"You have?" Lilo asked "you never mentioned that."
"You never asked" Pleakley said "oh, hang on a moment, I have something I think you'll like" and he dashed off to his room.
"So, that guy's still into wearing women's clothes, huh?" Ron asked.
"Ron! That's very rude" Kim scolded.
"No it's okay" Lilo said "that's just Pleakley's style. Plus, those clothes just fit him easier."
Before either of them could make a reply, Pleakley came down the stairs, with two pieces of clothing in his hands.
"I bet you'll remember these" he said proudly, displaying the clothing he held.
"Is that…?"
"Your old mission clothes" Pleakley finished "when I found out they were no longer being produced, I bought a pair off the Internet. It cost me quite a bit of money, let me tell you; Nani was quite angry that I spent so much, so she cut off my credit. Pretty neat huh?"
"Wow, I don't know if I'm touched or creeped out" Kim replied, a bit confused.
"Wanna try them on for old time's sake? I've never worn them; well okay, once, but it was for a costume party."
"That's okay" Kim replied quickly "I'm not here for missions anyway, I'm here to relax and hang on the beach."
"Suit yourself" Pleakley said "get it? 'suit', like what you wear to a party?"
"Yeah, we got it dude" Ron replied.
After Pleakley headed back upstairs, Kim turned to Lilo. "As much as I'd love to stay here and catch up, I'd really like to get changed and head to the beach."
"No problem, I'll show you to the bathroom" Lilo said "Stitch, you stay here with Ron & Rufus."
"Ih" Stitch replied, as the girls headed upstairs.
"So…being an alien, how's that working for you?" Ron asked, trying to make small talk.
"Eh, deeba durba."
"Yeah…neat" Ron replied.
The two said nothing after that, so Rufus emerged from his master's pocket and scurried his way over to Stitch, climbing up the alien and perching on his head.
"Rufus is stoked to see you again, aren't you buddy?" Ron asked.
"Uh huh" the mole rat replied.
Stitch ignored the naked rodent on his head and just stood there. The two didn't talk, when finally, five minutes later, Kim headed down the stairs dressed in her bikini.
"Whoa, nice duds KP"
"Thanks Ron" Kim said "now how about you get dressed up in your cute looking little suit?" she asked seductively.
"Blah, mushy" Stitch replied, sticking his finger in his mouth and gagging. Atop his head, Rufus did the same.
"Did you two have fun while we were gone?" Lilo asked, coming down the stairs in her bathing suit.
"Eh" Stitch replied, shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh, I see Rufus is out" Lilo said, heading over and petting the mole rat "hey Rufus, nice to see you too. Who's a cute little mole rat?"
Stitch replied something in protest. "Oh relax Stitch, you're still my friend. But you have to admit, Rufus is pretty cute for a hairless animal."
"Hey!" Rufus countered.
"That was a compliment" Lilo explained "most hairless animals are ugly. You aren't."
Rufus smiled a little at that and let Lilo tickle him under the chin.
A few minutes later, Ron came down in his swim trunks, and the group set out for the beach.
"I hope you don't mind if we walk" Lilo said.
"Not at all" Kim replied "you do know the place best, after all."
The heroes took a quick walk down to the beach. After selecting a choice spot, the two teens laid out their towels and began to soak up the sun.
"Oh yeah, I could do this all day" Ron said.
"Just don't forget to put on sunblock" Kim warned him "I don't want you getting burnt and red for the rest of the day."
"On it Kim" Ron said "okay Rufus, let her rip."
"Okay" the mole rat said, and scampered over to a tube of sunblock lying nearby on the sand. He jumped on it with all his might, causing a glob to splatter on Ron's chest. Rufus then quickly ran over to his master and began to spread the glop around Ron's body.
"See? My own personal sunblock dispatching mole rat. Wanna borrow him?"
"Yeah, no thanks" Kim said "I prefer to apply my own sunblock. Or, you could."
"Sorry buddy, duty calls" Ron said, quickly jolting upwards and sending Rufus crashing face first into the sand. The mole rat emerged from the sand and spat some out, then chattered angrily.
"It's okay Rufus, you can come with Stitch and me" Lilo said "we're going out to look for rare shells. Maybe you could use one as a toy or something." Rufus liked that idea, and began chattering wildly "hey Ron, is it okay if Rufus comes with us?"
"Huh? Sure, knock yourselves out" Ron replied, not looking up from Kim's back, where he was currently applying sunblock.
"You heard him Stitch, let's go."
Leaving the two teens alone to tan, Lilo and her crew began combing the beach for shells.
"Maybe if we're lucky, we'll find some of that pirate treasure" Lilo commented "but some shells would be nice too."
"Ih."
As they walked along, Lilo noticed a large cloud of smoke coming from somewhere.
"I wonder what that could be?" she asked aloud "it can't be the volcano, it hasn't erupted since Melty started living there. I should check it out, but I don't want to mess up Kim's vacation."
"Something wrong?" Stitch asked.
"Huh? No, I was just thinking about all the great shells we're gonna find today" Lilo said quickly, "okay team, start combing the beach."
After several hours, the group headed back to the Pelaki house.
"That was soooo fun" Kim said "it was great to just lie on the beach and not have to worry about fighting any bad guys or saving the world."
"And thanks for teaching me how to surf" Ron said to Lilo "I think after the twentieth time I finally got the hang of it."
"Well, surfing's not easy, especially for beginners" Lilo explained "but once you figured out how to stay on the board, things worked out."
"Yeah, I just wish it had happened before I got that starfish down my suit" Ron said "and they're not all dumb and fat like you see on TV, those things move around like crazy."
"Okay, way too much info Ron" Kim replied, slightly disgusted "but surfing does sound like fun, can you guys teach me tomorrow?"
"No problem" Lilo replied "but you're probably a natural; you can do anything, after all."
The group soon made their way into the house, where Nani was waiting for them.
"You made it home just in time, dinner's ready" she said "now go get washed up."
"Thanks again for letting us stay here" Kim said "we hope we're not putting you out."
"Well, after all the times you've saved the world, it's the least we can do" Nani replied "I just hope Lilo doesn't make a habit of inviting our extended ohana to stay with us."
"What did she mean by that?" Ron asked.
"You guys aren't the only ones who've visited us" Lilo said "but I'll explain more later."
And so, later, before they headed off to bed, Lilo explained about the other outsiders that she and Stitch had encountered.
"Wow, sounds like you've had quite the adventures" Kim replied.
"I don't suppose we could borrow that Lax, could we?" Ron said "he sounds like the perfect guy to have on a vacay."
"You can visit him tomorrow if you like" Lilo said, "in fact, I can show you every one of Stitch's cousins. Well okay, the ones that live here, anyway."
"That would be neat" Ron said "actually, you could make that a tourist attraction. 'Come to the island and see the unique aliens.' Who wouldn't pay money for that?"
"We'll talk about it in the morning" Kim said "right now, let's get some sleep."
"Can do Kim" Ron said "come on Rufus, time for us to nod off."
"Yeah!"
The two teen heroes laid out their bedrolls in Lilo's room and prepared to settle down for the night. If they knew what awaited them the next morning, they probably wouldn't have gotten up.
I apologize for this chapter, but writing generic "relaxation" stuff wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. Also, I was originally going to write the part where Lilo & Stitch teach Ron how to surf, but thought it would be funnier if it was left to your imaginations.
Anyway, in the next chapter, Kim & Ron are taken on a tour and meet some of the various aliens that live in the city. Meanwhile, Kim's vacation takes an unexpected turn when she discovers one of her enemies on the island, with a devious plan for world conquest,
