It was now after dark and Stitch was practicing saying hello, but he frowned as he was all alone. Lilo was scooping up strawberry ice cream into a bowl as someone came to the door.
"Is David or Lilo's friends early?" Nani wondered as she had a date tonight. She soon went up to the door to see who was at the door.
It was Darla, Patch, and Maisy.
"Oh, Darla, how nice to see you," Nani smiled. "I'm sorry, but I can't stay, I have a date. Jumba and Pleakley are gonna watch Lilo and her slumber party."
"We're here to try and cheer up Stitch." Patch said.
"Come right in." Nani invited.
"Lilo's having a slumber party?" Darla asked in excitement.
"I know, I was surprised too, but it seems those girls are really going to be Lilo's friends now," Nani smiled. "Too bad Myrtle's sick though."
"Myrtle got sick?" Patch asked.
"That's what we heard anyway..." Nani shrugged.
"I think she only made that up just not to be with Lilo." Maisy said.
"Well, come on in, I better check on Pleakley." Nani said.
Darla, Maisy, and Patch nodded as Lilo then held a bowl of ice cream and came over to a new way to go up to her room. Darla, Maisy, and Patch started to follow her.
"Ooh, how futuristic~" Maisy purred as they floated up to Lilo's bedroom.
Stitch was practicing his social skills, but frowned as he was unable to make himself happy.
Lilo came in with her ice cream. "I brought ice cream, and look who came to visit?~"
"Hey there, buddy." Patch greeted.
Stitch looked over, he gave a weak wave and frowned sadly.
"It wasn't that bad," Lilo soothed as she sat down across from him. "After you left, I got to help put out the fire."
"Oh..." Stitch moaned. "No cousins."
"Hey, it's okay; you'll find your cousins soon." Maisy assured him.
"You're a part of our ohana now, but getting everybody else to like you is harder," Lilo soothed her pet. "Trust me. I know."
"I'm freaky." Stitch pouted.
"You're different and you're one of a kind." Patch comforted.
"Yeah! Like Frankenstein!" Lilo beamed.
Stitch groaned and then buried his face in his ice cream.
"I guess that didn't work..." Darla bit her lip.
"So Lilo, I hear you are having a sleepover." Darla smiled.
"Yeah," Lilo smiled back. "The girls should be here any minute."
"So are they getting used to things around your house?" Patch asked.
"Some things surprise them once in a while, but I think they'll adjust just fine." Lilo smiled.
"If they are our friends, then they'll be fine." Darla smiled.
Lilo smiled back.
Patch sniffed the air. "Smells like Kibbles and Bits is being cooked on fire."
"That must be Pleakley cooking." Lilo said.
"Gross." Maisy winced.
"Can't he order a pizza?" Darla shuddered.
"I don't think he's learned that they deliver pizza." Lilo said.
"Let's hope Nani tells him..." Darla face-palmed.
Stitch decided to go see Jumba.
"I'm gonna be with Stitch for a while." Patch said.
"You go ahead." Darla agreed as she picked up Maisy in her arms.
The girls then came downstairs to look out the window and wait for the other girls to show up. Patch began to follow Stitch as he was going to go see Jumba.
"Insert tab 'A' into chromosome 'B'..." Jumba said to himself as he was working in something.
"Uh, Jumba?" Stitch came in.
"SPIES!" Jumba yelped and covered his invention and turned to see the two. "Oh, 626, Patch, what do you want? I'm busy doing genius work here."
"Oh... I have no cousins." Stitch said in his alien language.
"Yeah, what he said." Patch said.
"No cousins?" Jumba replied. "Well, of course not. We are each one of a kind, you and I, evil genius scientist and evil genius creation, all alone in infinite universe. Sure, you have maybe found tiny adopted Earth family, but we have no, as you say, cousins."
Stitch bowed his head and his ears drooped. "Oh."
"But what if he did have cousins aliens like him or somewhat like him?" Patch asked.
Jumba's eyes seemed to widen at that.
"Jumba, is there something you're not telling us?" Patch asked suspiciously.
"Um, I'm very busy!" Jumba tried to get rid of them.
Stitch left the room.
"Hmm..." Patch hummed out of suspicion.
Pleakley had ordered pizza as Nani and David suggested and was in Nani's room to get dressed in an Earth disguise.
"You must be Pleakley." Maisy said, unsure how to react.
"That's my name, don't wear it out." Pleakley giggled, he wore a black wig with a heart tank top and blue jeans.
"Why are you disguising yourself as a woman?" Maisy asked.
"Convincing, isn't it?" Pleakley smiled as he bounced the wig.
Maisy rolled her eyes slightly.
There was then a shaking of the house which was then followed by the ring of the doorbell.
"Must be the pizza," Pleakley smiled and rushed to the door. "I'll get it!" he then opend the door and saw a familiar whale alien glaring at him. "Gantu!" he then shut the door and closed the blind, running away from the door.
"Let me guess, he's that whale head guy, right?" Maisy asked.
"That's who Gantu is..." Pleakley nodded fearfully.
"He's come back for Stitch!" Lilo gasped. "Hurry, we can sneak out the back!"
Jumba saw this and went back into his room.
"Jumba, where are you going?" Pleakley asked.
"I have to take care of thing!" Jumba replied. He soon saw Atticus in his room as he was examining something that looked like it was Jumba's newest invention.
"What is that?" Pleakley poked his head in the room.
Jumba held his invention under a cloth. "What is what?"
There was then a scream heard as Gantu tried to break into the house.
"You can't have Stitch, you big dummy!" Lilo sneered.
"Yeah, you fatty!" Stitch added in.
"Yeah, so leave!" Patch barked.
"I'm not fat and I'm not here for the failed Experiment 626!" Gantu growled and shot a net at Stitch, trapping him into it. "Where's Jumba?"
"You'll never find him!" Patch growled.
"You must take this and hide." Jumba handed his covered invention.
"Oh, no, this is something bad..." Pleakley was nervous. "Evil and bad."
The two then argued and unknown to them, a tiny purple pod came out from the invention and it was marked '625'.
"Oh, for the love of peat; I'll take this and hide it!" Atticus glared as he snatched the covered invention.
"Not to make a peep, strong human boy or entire galaxy is doomed!" Jumba told him.
Atticus soon did a okay sign before hiding inside the trunk with the covered invention. Jumba then sat on the trunk and pretended to knit.
Atticus grunted slightly from the extra weight, but he kept himself quiet with the invention. "I wonder what this thing is anyway?" he then asked himself.
"Quiet in there." Jumba whispered.
"Oops, sorry..." Atticus replied.
The roof was the moved from the house. "Jumba Jookiba..."
"Gantu," Jumba smiled nervously. "Not see long time."
"Where are they?" Gantu demanded.
"They?" Jumba replied. "Who they?"
"The other 625 experiments." Gantu snarled.
'The other 625 experiments? So then there are others like Stitch.' Atticus thought to himself with a smile.
"You must have me confused with other evil scientist." Jumba chuckled nervously.
Gantu spotted a pod and picked it up in his enormous fingers. "What have we here?~"
"Is, uh, ping-pong ball," Jumba lied. "Is Earth sport. Like tennis, but tinier."
Gantu soon picked him up by the head. "You're a bad liar, Jumba, where are the other experiment pods?" he glared to the four-eyed alien.
"I never discuss scientific research with big dummies." Jumba glared back.
"Then perhaps you'll discuss it with your former partner, Dr. Hamsterviel." Gantu challenged.
"Hamsterviel is alive?!" Jumba replied in shock.
"And he wants his experiments back!" Gantu snarled as he then took Jumba away with him to his ship to take him to outer-space.
"Jumba, is everything okay out there?" Atticus muffled.
There was then no answer.
"Jumba...?" Atticus repeated.
As soon as he got no answer, Atticus used his god-like strength to break open the trunk.
He looked around and heard a ship taking off. "Gantu kidnapped Jumba!"
"There you are." Cherry came right behind him.
"Yike!" Atticus yelped as he shot through the roof with the covered invention.
Cherry winced at the crash and watched as Atticus crashed back down on the floor. "Did I scare you?"
"You startled me." Atticus glared.
"Sorry..." Cherry replied.
"Sometimes I don't think you are..." Atticus stood up with the invention and looked around. "Where's Stitch and the girls?"
Outside, Gantu was taking off with the evil genius alien.
"He's taking Jumba!" Lilo called out.
"Oh, no, Jumba!" Stitch cried for his creator.
"And looks like the girls just arrived." Darla said as she saw Lilo's new friends arrive.
"Sorry we're late, Lilo, but Yuki had trouble finding her pillow." Teresa said.
"Hey, what's going on?" Yuki asked.
Stitch tried to keep Gantu from taking off, but he was then hit by the back burners and the ship was able to take off with Jumba as his hostage.
"Quick, to Jumba's ship!" Darla said.
"How will we catch up?" Elena asked.
Stitch rolled into a ball and went one direction.
"Where are you going?!" Lilo went after him. "Wait up!"
They were going behind the bushes and looked to see a familiar spacecraft.
"Jumba and Pleakley's ship..." Lilo, Yuki, Teresa, and Elena said together in dawned realization.
"Quick, everyone inside." Patch said.
"Don't we need keys?" Elena asked.
Stitch came to the controls and hot wired them to make the engine go.
"Looks like we don't." Teresa said.
"Is this legal?" Yuki asked.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Lilo promised.
Stitch laughed as they then took off in Jumba and Pleakley's ship and were leaving the planet Earth.
"Wahoo!" Darla smiled.
