Lilo & Stitch Go To Japan
Chapter 4: Secrets and Stowaways
"How
many times have I got to tell you? If you come along, you have to
keep quiet!"
"Well,
you know how I get around food! If you had just gotten me a hot-dog…"
"I
couldn't have! That girl's already suspicious enough… she'd
think I was following her…"
"…and
then I bumped into this girl…"
While
Pleakly was trying to sign in (somehow he got the impression
that signatures had something to do with five-page essays), Lilo was
retelling the events of what happened to Jumba.
"…and
then I heard this voice coming from her bag, and then I found Stitch
acting like…"
"Wait,
wait, wait, hold back!"
Jumba
stood up and walked over to Lilo (the couch was creaking dangerously
anyway) and examined Lilo closely.
"Little
girl, this voice, what is it sounding like?"
"A
lot like 625's…"
"Really…"
Lilo
didn't like the way he said that.
"What?"
"'Tis
nothing!"
"Juuuumba…"
"No,
really, little girl," he said unconvincingly.
"Oh,
you mean, signature!"
"Yes…
what did you think I meant?"
"Er…never
mind…"
Having
paid the guy his money (Nani made him pay in real cash, after
the Honolulu incident she wasn't risking anything), Pleakly
strolled down the hallway of the newly rented suite, humming "Megota
Questa".
"Let's
see… Jumba has Room 21, Nani has Room 32, Lilo & Stitch have Room
22 and I have Room 33."
He
opened the door to his room, whilst opening his briefcase.
"Now
for some peace and qui… AHHH!"
Pleakly
suddenly dropped his case.
"OW!" the briefcase said, or at least, seemed to say.
Pleakly
stared at the case. It jiggled.
"Jumba,
my briefcase's alive!"
Jumba
dropped his case (which also made an 'ow' noise, though no-one
noticed it) and rushed into the room (OK, plodded would be a better
description) with a plasma gun (you've got to wonder why he always
seems to have one on him…).
"Please
to be standing back, could be vaary dangerous…"
He
picked up the case by it's bottom, with the plasma gun pointing at
the floor, and opened it.
A
pair of blue-rimmed glasses fell out, followed by a thing that looked
extremely familiar… it fell face first onto the spectacles, picked
itself up and slid it's glasses up it's nose.
"Um,
Pleakly, did you know that your socks have a seventy-three to one stink to sock
ratio?"
"FOUR-ONE-NINE!"
"Jumba,
please, not so loud…"
Nani,
who was now behind Pleakly, fixed her with a look that could freeze…
that place… down there…
"Why
did you come?"
"Well…
I've never seen Japan, well, y'know, I've read about it, and I know all about it, but
I've never actually seen it, and can I please stay? Pleeeease?"
"Well…
OK. But, next time ask before squashing yourself into a
briefcase."
"Yes!"
Jumba
started walking down the hall.
"And
Jumba?"
"What
is it being, 419?"
"You
might wanna check your briefcase before…"
"Why,
nothing but… FOUR-TWO-SIX!"
