The next day came sooner than anyone thought. Once the sun came up, Cherry finally seemed to fall asleep and there was even a rooster crow. Nani got the door and saw the agent/social worker.
"You called?" Cobra looked to Nani.
"Cobra," Nani smiled. "How are you?"
"Sleepy..." Cobra stalked inside the house.
"Sorry." Atticus said.
"Cobra, Cobra, thank goodness!" Pleakley rushed to the man.
"Hello, son." Patrick also came.
"Oh... Hey, Dad." Atticus smiled.
"So I guess you heard too." Cherry said.
"You bet," Patrick said as he came with Cobra. "So, there are other experiments before Stitch, I feel like I should've seen this coming."
"Yeah, there are, um, 623 experiments left in Jumba's invention." Atticus gulped.
"623?" Patrick took out a file. "That's not in our records."
"Uh, yeah, me, Stitch, and the girls kind of activated one of the experiments so we could get enough electricity from it to power up Jumba's and Pleakley's ship." Atticus admitted.
"Hmm..." Patrick hummed to that.
"I told Drell, he didn't care..." Cherry scoffed. "Of course if I did it, he would twist my neck open and drink the fluids."
"No, he must have seen this coming." Patrick said.
"I hate him, can I torture him?" Cherry asked.
"Would you like for him to torture you back?" Atticus asked.
"Ugh, will I ever win?" Cherry groaned.
"Don't know." Patrick shrugged.
Cherry sighed and walked off.
Lilo's friends were coming downstairs after getting dressed.
"That was a great night's sleep." Elena smiled.
"Even though Jumba's gone." Teresa said.
"Yeah." Yuki said.
The three girls then stopped and looked up to see Cobra Bubbles.
"Um, hello." Elena greeted.
"Hello, young ladies, you must be Lilo and Darla's friends." Cobra replied.
"Erm... Y-Yes, sir..." Yuki sounded nervous.
"Don't worry, girls, Mr. Bubbles here is a very good man." Atticus told them.
"Did you ever kill anyone?" Teresa asked like Lilo did when they had first met.
"I'm sorry, but I'm here on official business," Cobra replied. "We must wait for Hamsterviel's next call. Once we have the rendezvous location, Pleakley, Patrick, and I will exchange all the remaining experiments for Jumba and Patch. From there, we follow the governmental procedure."
"But he wants all 624; if he notices we have one missing, he won't accept the trade." Atticus said.
"We'll just have to hope he doesn't find out." Patrick said to his son.
"I just have the feeling that he'll find out somehow..." Atticus held his gut.
'This is now an intergalactic incident," Cobra said firmly to the others then. "You are to take no further action other than what we have indicated. Is that clear, girls?"
"Yep!" Darla replied. "Well, Stitch, Lilo, and me are gonna go out and play until the girls have to go home and take no further action."
With that, the little girls went out the door.
Stitch then poked his head out the doggy door. "No action."
"I'll go with them." Atticus said.
"Keep an eye out for us, son." Patrick nodded.
"Yes, Dad." Atticus nodded back.
The strong boy soon went out to join Lilo, Darla, and Stitch. Cherry was on her way out to join her best friend.
"We gotta find that sparky electrical one." Darla said.
"Sparky..." Lilo whispered like that word inspired her somehow.
"Right... We have to search the entire island." Atticus said to them.
"Any ideas, Stitch?" Darla asked, but then got no answer. "...Stitch?"
Stitch was going into Cobra's car and hot-wired it like Jumba and Pleakley's ship last night.
"I'll drive." Atticus said.
Stitch pouted. "Stitch wanna drive..."
"Oh, alright, you can drive." Atticus said, not wanting to upset Stitch.
"OKI TAKA!" Stitch cheered.
"We can't all fit in there..." Yuki said.
Cherry sighed and walked off for a minute. The others looked to each other in wonder as she went off.
At the hotel...
"Get Atticus his car, please." Cherry walked over to Drell as he was trying to get a tan.
Drell soon used his magic and where Atticus's car appeared next to Cobra's car.
"Thanks." Cherry said, walking off before he would do or say anything else.
"Thank you, Drell." Atticus smiled as he unlocked his door before opening it.
Cherry then sat up front with Atticus. Stitch drove out first with the girls in Cobra's car and they were now going through the island to look for Experiment 221. Atticus began to follow them with his car.
"Ah, now I can relax..." Drell smiled as he continued his tan. "Nothing can possibly ruin this moment."
"Drell." Captain Planet said.
Drell removed his sunglasses and looked rather grumpy that his veg time was interrupted. "What is it now?"
"Patch's strength has been drained and transferred somehow to Gantu." Captain Planet said.
This surprised Drell.
"Oh, my..." Drell looked rather sick to his stomach.
"But I have a feeling his strength will soon return to him." Captain Planet said.
"Well, I should hope so..." Drell replied. "How's his magic?"
"Still working." Captain Planet said.
"Well, that's a relief..." Drell leaned back.
"And he'll probably use it to destroy the machine that transferred his strength to Gantu." Captain Planet said.
"I just hope for Atticus's sake Patch will be okay," Drell replied. "I care a big deal about that boy."
"I know." Captain Planet said.
"He's almost like a son to me..." Drell said before taking a gulp from his goblet.
"Are you drinking...?" Captain Planet winced.
"Kinda..." Drell replied, slurrily then.
"No drinking." Captain Planet said.
Drell glared to him and kept drinking and then let out a noisy, disgusting burp.
"What's with you?" Captain Planet asked.
"I'm depressed..." Drell pouted.
"About what?" Captain Planet asked.
"Nunya." Drell said.
"Nunya?" Captain Planet replied.
"None of ya business..." Drell scoffed as he then drank more alcohol.
Captain Planet simply sighed.
Drell kept drinking. "Hilda and I had a fight."
"Oh, my..." Captain Planet said.
Drell fluttered his lips. "It's those rules..."
"What happened this time?" Captain Planet asked.
"Well, unless Sabrina's mom can pass a test with her new witchly powers given to her at the wedding, the rules will change and she'll become a mortal again and Sabrina will have to never see her mother ever again and her father will be imprisoned for 500 years." Drell replied. "Hilda blamed me and we haven't spoken to each other in weeks!"
"Oh, my..." Captain Planet frowned.
Drell nodded and then took another chug of his drink.
"I'll see if I can get this straightened out." Captain Planet said.
"Good luck..." Drell then hiccuped slightly.
