Earth Date: November 13, 2015 Part 2

10:46 am Kukaua time

“Nani, Pleakley, Jumba, we’re home!” Lilo announced as she opened the door. She found herself in an empty living room as Stitch walked up the wall before crawling on the ceiling and towards the kitchen.

“Maybe they are out?” Haon offered, looking around as if she couldn’t believe she was in a human house.

“Get your hands out of my pie, you little monster!” Pleakley’s voice cried out from the kitchen, drawing the two to see the one eyed noodle picking up a pie as two slices found themselves victim to Stitch. He noticed the two in the doorway and smile. “Hi Lilo, who’s your friend?”

“This is Haon Ink from the planet Uuuuhp.” Lilo introduced. “Haon, this is Pleakley.”

“Hello, I have heard a lot about you.” Haon said, holding out her hand.

Pleakley sat down the pie on the table and took the hand shake. “All good, I hope.”

“Oh, of course.” Haon nodded, smiling. “You are a legion in the Earth studies department.”

“Where’s Jumba?” Lilo asked, hoping to change the subject before Pleakley got a swelled head. She picked up her suitcase and Haon’s, planning on taking them up to the room.

“In his ship slash lab like always.” Pleakley said. He noticed the girl holding both bags and shook his head. “I’ll put them up in your room. Go find Jumba, I think he’s still got your last month’s mail.”

“Thanks Pleakley.” Lilo dropped both of the bags to the ground where she was and took hold of Haon’s hand. “Come on.”

Stitch looked longingly at the pie after the two girls had left only to freeze as Lilo called, “Come on, Stitch!”

Stitch mumbled something under his breath before leaving Pleakley and his pie alone to find the girls walking through the path from the house to Jumba’s old ship.

The three entered the ship and found the big alien sitting in front of his computer.

“Hey Jumba. What’cha doing?” Lilo asked to announce their arrival.

Jumba turned around and smiled. “Little girl, six-two-six, and new girl. Pleasing to be meeting you. Your mail’s in that bag on the table.”

Lilo looked over to the table Jumba referred to and opened the bag.

“Oh and little girl who takes care of two-seven-seven left for main land.”

“Victoria?” Lilo looked up in a start.

“Yes, she sent letter here not long ago. It in bag.” Jumba explained.

Lilo looked back in the bag and quickly found the letter he was talking about. She pulled it out before picking up the bag and looking at Stitch. “Could you show her where she’ll be sleeping for the week?”

“New jaba.” Stitch nodded his head before turning to walk out with Haon on his heels.

Lilo waited until they were out of ear shot before starting, “Jumba, I was wondering something about Stitch.”

Jumba watched her patiently as she started to twirl an end of her hair, a nervous twitch she had learned from Nani whenever she needed to ask something she didn’t think she wanted to know the answer to.

“Do you know how long Stitch’s lifespan is?” Lilo asked.

Jumba looked at her in surprised for a moment before admitting, “No. I am guessing bit longer than six-two-five.”

“While we’re here, I’m hoping you could give him a checkup.” Lilo admitted. “He’s been getting tired a lot lately and I’m worried about him.”

“Will be doing.” Jumba nodded.

“Thanks.” Lilo smiled before leaving the ship. On her way back to her roof top dome she opened the letter from Victoria.

Lilo

I hate that I left during your school year but there was an opening in Disney animation studios in Florida that I couldn’t say no to. Keep an eye out for my name in the credits of the TV shows!
The address I sent this from is my new apartment so write back as soon as you can. I’m glad you and I are alike cause anyone else would be wondering why not just e-mail but there’s still an old child-like fun in getting a letter from a friend.

Snooty says Hi. And speaking of him, he’s doing fine. He’s helping me a lot since the move cause my allergies had been going haywire. And since my co-workers need bat wings for reference, he hasn’t left my side for long. I’ll e-mail you a video of him for your work.

Write soon and Aloha!

Victoria

Lilo looked up and found herself entering her bedroom, seeing Haon looking at the old pictures stuck to the wall.

“Who are these?” Haon asked, curious.

“Tourist.” Lilo admitted. “As a kid I liked taking pictures of the fat ones.” She put Victoria’s letter back in its envelop and put the bag on her desk to go through at another time. “Do you wanna see the town? I gotta make my rounds anyway.”

“Sure. What rounds do you have to do?” Haon asked, stepping on the elevator disk.

Lilo stepped next to her before the disk lowered, Stitch following his own way down along the wall. “I have to make sure all of Stitch’s cousins are still happy.”

“Ahboochiboo eiba!” Stitch said, hanging from the living room doorframe to be at Lilo’s head.

“Alright, we’ll go find Angel first.” Lilo laughed.

“I’m not going to stick out, am I?” Haon asked, freezing in the living room.

“Naw, you look very human really.” Lilo said. “You could wear sunglasses if you’re worried about your eyes.”

“Please?” Haon nodded.

“I’ve got a pair in the buggy.” Lilo lead the girl down the steps and to the red doom buggy.
