-1"I'm gonna get you Stitch!" Mark shouted playfully as he chased the alien throughout the house in a game of tag. "Naga." Stitch replied in an equally playful tone as he climbed on the wall and stood on the ceiling, beyond Mark's reach. "Hey, that's cheating, little buddy." Mark complained playfully. Stitch just stuck his tongue out at him and said, "Nah, nah." Mark chuckled at the taunt and said, "All right, you asked for it." before running up the wall and jumping after the little alien. Stitch clung even closer to the ceiling and was just beyond Mark's reach.

Mark landed on his feet and Stitch taunted him even more by sticking his butt at him and saying, "Ika patooki." Mark wasn't offended by Stitch's taunts, he knew that Stitch was only playing around. "Hmm…" Mark said as he looked around the room trying to find a way to tag Stitch. Mark then got an idea and jumped off the wall as close to the ceiling as he could and reached out his hand to tag the little blue alien, but then Stitch clung to the ceiling again at the last moment and Mark fell to the floor, landing on his back this time.

"Mark, Stitch. Let's go." Nani said as she came down the stairs with Lilo, Jumba, and Pleakely. "Where're we going?" Mark asked Nani as he got back up and Stitch jumped off the ceiling. "We're going to Macki Macaw's."

"The Pizza place?"

"Yes, the Pizza place, now hurry it up." Nani said as she left the house with the others. Mark quickly followed them.

Once they arrived there, the stage show, which involved a cheesy series of songs that were being sung by nothing but robots started and the star, Macki Macaw, suddenly malfunctioned and burst into flames. A few kids screamed in fear when this happened and a waiter quickly put the fire out and closed the stage. "Uh, Macki's taking a little hometown nap." the waiter tried to cover up for the kids who didn't know what just happened. Boos of protest were shouted from various children.

"Primitive earth entertainment technology, very entertaining." Jumba said as he clapped his hands. "Especially when he entertained us by catching on fire. Fascinating." Pleakely said as he started pouring drinks. As Stitch raised his glass for it to be filled Lilo said to him, "Wait your turn Stitch." Then she turned her attention to Pleakely, who seemed to have forgotten Stitch and stopped pouring drinks. Mark smacked Pleakely upside the head when he saw him forget Stitch. "Ow! What was that for?" Pleakely asked Mark, who simply answered, "You'll find out."

"Macki may be combustibally challenged. But I love this place. It's homey." Lilo said before she took a sip of her soda.

"Why don't we come here more often?" Lilo asked just before Stitch got upset, jumped on the pizza, sending cheese and sauce flying in all directions, chugged the entire pitcher of soda, and threw the empty pitcher behind him afterwards. "Shouldn't have forgotten him." Mark said to Pleakely in an I-told-you-so kind of tone as he wiped the pizza debris off his face. "That's why." Nani answered Lilo before diving after Stitch, who jumped out of the way just in time. The waiter who shut down the show went up to their table, placed the pitcher on the table and glared at Nani, who smiled nervously.

"Be sure to leave him a big tip." Lilo told Nani before leaving the table. Mark then stood up and offered to make up for Stitch's outburst and Pleakely's convenient amnesia when it came to pouring Stitch's drink. The waiter asked, "Whoa…wait a minute, aren't you Mark Nissan?"

"Yes, I am." Mark answered. "That's great! You could fix the robots. Our head mechanic can only keep Macki working for a few seconds. Come up and have a look will ya?"

"Of course." Mark said before he got up and followed the waiter to the stage. To no surprise, his presence caught the eyes of many different people as he walked up to the stage.

"Come on, Stitch. There's prizes to be won." Lilo called out to him as she went over to a prize grabber machine. Stitch made his way down the ceiling after she called for him. Lilo's eye caught a closed shell with tape around it that read: Genuine Local Pearl Oyster. Lilo read it aloud and then said to Stitch, who walked up right behind her, "We could be multi-millionaires!"

"Ih, ih, ih!" Stitch said excitedly as he nodded his head. "But I don't have a quarter." Lilo said suddenly, looking down in disappointment.

Stitch suddenly extended one of his arms and showed her that he had gotten one somewhere. "Yay for extra-terrestrial puppies!" Lilo exclaimed in joy as Stitch put the quarter in and got the oyster. However, just as the claw was about to drop it in the receive bin, the machine malfunctioned and shut off. Stitch lost it, picked up the machine and shook it, trying to get the oyster free. "Hey, cut it out!" Nani shouted at Stitch before running up to him. Stitch put the machine down and climbed on top of it. Nani grabbed him and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

"It's not Stitch's fault." Lilo tried to explain. "The machine cheated. I saw it. He was just trying to win me a prize." She finished just as the waiter had approached behind her with Mark. Stitch saw them both, grinned nervously, and let the machine go, putting it back in it's original position. The oyster finally managed to get itself free from the malfunctioned claw, launched out of the bin and rolled to Lilo. "See?" She said after she picked it up. Then she saw Mark and the waiter and said, "Sorry, here." as she handed it to the waiter, who said simply, "Keep it, just go."

Nani brought Lilo and Stitch out of the place while the waiter turned to Mark and asked, "So, what's the news on Macki?"

"Well, the engine's all out of whack. It'll work fine for a few days, but it'll break again." Mark answered. "And this machine?" The waiter asked of Mark again as he pointed to the prize grabber that had shut down on Lilo and Stitch. "Ah, a simple, yet very effective, method of repair." Mark said as he walked up to it and simply kicked the back of the machine. When he did this, the claw finally made a move as if it was releasing something and then moved back to its starting position. "Aloha." Mark said before walking out of the restaurant with his family.

A while later, nightfall had arrived and Nani was knocking on the bathroom door asking Lilo, "Lilo, have you finished giving him a bath?" The minute she said the word 'bath' there was a splashing sound and then, a few seconds later, Stitch came running out of the bathroom, wearing a pink shower cap and a green inner tube as he shouted, "Ooh! Uda Booga!" Lilo chased after him. Mark was crossing the hall just as Lilo left the bathroom, nearly tripping Mark. "Hey, be careful! This is a family of six now." He said to her after he had regained his balance.

Stitch went for the doggy door but the inner tube he was wearing got him stuck. "You know how he is with water, I almost had him lulled into a false sense of security." Lilo scolded her older sister before trying to get Stitch back in the house and continuing, "And then you said the 'B' word. Never say the 'B' word!"

"You mean…bath?" Nani asked Lilo, raising her voice on the word bath so that Stitch could hear it. Stitch then managed to free himself from the inner tube, and drag Lilo into wearing it instead. "Why do you torment me?" Lilo asked her sister as she hung dully in the doggy door.

Stitch made his way up to the second floor window and crawled into Jumba and Pleakely's room. "Well, look who's on the lam from the lather." Pleakely said as he saw Stitch. Jumba stopped working on a new design and turned to see what Pleakely was talking about. "Running from the long arm of the lavatory huh?" Pleakely continued. Stitch whimpered, looked around, and smiled as he saw the laundry hamper. Stitch climbed into it just as Lilo came in the room, but she saw the lid close and knew exactly where Stitch hid.

"Hmm. I wonder where Stitch is." Lilo said slyly. Jumba and Pleakely played along. "Who can say? Probably not in soiled apparel depository." Jumba said. "Oh no, definitely not in there." Pleakely finished. "Ok, then. I'll leave. I'm walking away now…bye." And then she closed the door but remained in the room and crouched next to the hamper. Stitch poked his head out to see if the coast was clear and then Lilo grabbed him and yelled, "Gotcha!" Stitch gave a look that clearly showed that he was thinking, "Oh, darn it."

Lilo dragged him back to the bathroom and said, "If you cooperate, I promise that I won't drown you."

"You better not drown him, even if he doesn't cooperate." Mark threatened Lilo before spitting in the sink after brushing his teeth and left the bathroom. Stitch grabbed the toilet as they passed by it and broke the seat off accidentally. Stitch resisted so much that the bathroom began to flood, and the shell that they had won earlier opened up and an experiment pod labeled 375 came out of the oyster and was activated upon touching the water. After the bath was done, Lilo went upstairs to get her P.J.s on.

The recently activated experiment was a green phantom-like one. It flew into the kitchen, possessed an eggbeater, and caused it to tear the kitchen curtains down. Then the experiment possessed a batch of bananas, and caused them to cook themselves in the microwave. Stitch was drying himself when he heard the muffled explosion of bananas and went into the kitchen to check it out. Stitch saw a pile of dishes waver and then fall and ran over to catch them, extending his extra arms to catch all of the dishes. The experiment saw Stitch do this, sneered darkly and made the rug move itself from under Stitch's feet. Stitch slipped and the dishes came crashing down, alerting the whole house.

"What is going on in here!" Nani shouted as she headed for the kitchen along with everybody else. Nani gasped and Pleakely said, "My dishes! The ones featuring in begonias of the world, available only in limited qualities! You broke them!" He pointed at Stitch when he said the last sentence. Stitch jumped up and said, "Nawaga! Naga cada gu!" Jumba translated, "Six-two-six claims dishes fall and break all by themselves."

"Not buying it Mr. Destructo! Go to your room!" Nani scolded Stitch. Stitch groaned, bowed his head sadly and began walking away when Mark suddenly said, "Hold on! Maybe the dishes didn't fall and break by themselves, but I know for a fact that Stitch didn't break them."

"Mark, we don't have time for this, he was caught in the act." Nani said. "No, actually he was caught after the act. But in case you didn't notice, the rug has been moved out of the way and is in such a position as if somebody pulled it from under Stitch's feet, and also, Stitch was under the dishes and on the floor, if he broke them, he would be on top of the counter where they were. My guess would be that Stitch caught the dishes but then somebody tripped him by pulling the rug from under his feet, and unable to keep his grasp on them, they fell and broke." Mark explained as he walked around the crime scene, everybody just stared at him when Lilo broke the silence by saying, "Mark's right. And if Stitch said that he didn't do it, then he didn't do it."

"Ok then, if he didn't do it then who did?" Nani asked them both. "I don't know." both Mark and Lilo answered. "But it must have been one of the experiments. Jumba, which experiment that you made was designed for chaos and would want to frame Stitch simply because he was good?" Mark asked Jumba, who simply answered, "Um…all of them."

"Oh…right." Mark said after hearing Jumba's answer. "Ugh, well I do know one thing. It's bed time. We'll talk about this in the morning." Nani said as she sent everyone to their rooms. "Don't worry, she probably had some bad pizza, she'll forget about it tomorrow." Lilo reassured Stitch. "Yeah Stitch, don't worry. I'll try to clear things up with her tomorrow." Mark reassured him as well.

Lilo and Stitch went up the elevator and Mark continued down the hall just as the new ghostly experiment poked out of the wall and laughed evilly. Late that night, everybody was asleep when the experiment took over Scrump and woke Stitch up as it went down the elevator. Stitch slipped into his alien form and followed it. Stitch saw just as Scrump turned around and went into the living room. Stitch only saw the blond hair and didn't know that the experiment had possessed Scrump. Stitch snuck to the corner and then turned around it quickly, growling, but all he saw was Scrump sitting next to Lilo's record player. Stitch went over to the doggy door and stuck his head out to see if the intruder had left recently.

Suddenly, Scrump turned on the record player and left the room immediately, taking a ride on the elevator again. Stitch turned off the music, heard the elevator moving and went to check on it when suddenly, it came speeding down and knocked Stitch out. The next morning, Nani screamed in horror, ran out of her room holding a mirror and one side of her face had a green streak on it as she cried, "Somebody painted me green!" An explosion occurred in Jumba and Pleakely's room. Jumba and Pleakely came running out and coughing as a thick cloud of smoke left the room behind them.

Jumba said, "Experiment-analyzer device is sabotaged!"

"And my begonia has been plant-napped! Oh the plant-amity!' Pleakely cried as he held his empty vase. Mark came running out of his room and pulled the last sleeve of his jacket on. "What happened? I heard an explosion!" Mark said as he looked around. After seeing the smoke coming from Jumba and Pleakely's room, he calmed down and said, "Oh, yeah. I'm surprised I'm not used to this by now. By the way, has anybody seen the book I wrote? The original copy was in its glass case last night and now it's gone."

Lilo came down the elevator, yawning and holding Scrump under one arm. "Whoa…that's a new look." Lilo said the minute she saw Nani's face. Nani glared at her as she said this. "Anybody seen Stitch?" Lilo asked as she looked around. Stitch groaned in the living room and everybody followed the sounds. Stitch lay in the living room with a flower in one hand, a paintbrush with green paint in the other. a broken record player, and an original copy of a book that was torn in half lay next to him and a face-down picture lay at his feet.

"Ebaka?" Stitch questioned as he saw the objects in his hands. "Why am I not surprised? Ugh! I don't have time for this today!" Nani said as she saw Stitch and the evidence that was lying around him and stormed out of the room to clean her face. Mark spotted the original copy of his book, shrugged, and said, "Well, at least I got it published."

"Six-two-six has been very bad, I am very proud." Jumba said as he smiled at Stitch. "How do you know that Stitch did it?" Both Lilo and Mark asked Jumba. "Anybody could have put a paintbrush in his hand and Pleakely's plant in the other hand. And ripped Mark's book and…" Lilo began before looking to her record player and said in a shocked tone, "…broke my record player! And my Hound Dog single? But…Stitch wouldn't do that."

"I agree. I haven't been here all that long and even I know that Stitch wouldn't do those things." Mark said. He appreciated Lilo's loyalty to Stitch. "Yeah! Yeah, yeah, it's jabanaga!" Stitch said as Nani walked in the room. The green streak on her face was gone and she was brushing her teeth now. "I'm going to be late for work, this behavior has got to stop." Nani scolded Stitch.

Pleakely noticed the picture on the floor and walked up to it saying, "Hey someone dropped this picture." Pleakely picked up the picture, looked at it and said, "Why it's Stitch scrubbing his smelly alien toes with a purple toothbrush." Pleakely then laughed and said, "That's hilarious. Hey, which poor sucker has a purple toothbrush?" Nani looked in a disgusted way at the toothbrush she was brushing with…it was purple.

"Oh." Pleakely said when he saw Nani's toothbrush. Nani spit out her toothbrush and shouted at Stitch, "That's it!" She took Stitch and threw him in the back yard. "He stays outside 'till I get home." Nani said to Mark and Lilo. They were the only two there who would let Stitch in the house while she was away. "But Stitch said he didn't-" Lilo began but Nani interrupted and said demandingly, "Lilo, that's an order! And no 'buts' or I'll put you out with him." Then she turned to Mark and said, "And the same goes triple for you!"

"Don't you mean-" Mark began, but then Nani was true to her word as she grabbed Mark and threw him in the back yard too. "Whoa! Oof…man, she's stronger than she looks." Mark said as he looked back at Nani, who looked at Lilo in a threatening way. "Fine." Lilo said harshly to her older sister. Nani walked away and once she was out of earshot, Lilo said to Mark and Stitch, "Don't worry guys. It'll be ok."

As Lilo slowly closed the door, Scrump smiled and laughed evilly under its breath. Mark looked at Stitch as he saw this and asked, "So that's what's been framing you? An experiment that's designed to possess objects?"

"Ih." Stitch answered Mark before looking back at the door and saying, "Whassa Miserable." Just as Mark said, "This is not good."

A while later, Lilo came out with a cardboard box and labeled it "Stitch house." She then turned to Stitch and Mark and said, "Just pretend you're camping out you two, when Nani gets home we'll fix everything."

"Larger girl said no visiting with prisoners six-two-six and Mark Car-person. They're being punished." Jumba informed Lilo. "Ok!" Lilo said angrily as she put a collar on Stitch and chained him to keep him outside. They didn't bother restraining Mark because they couldn't find anything that they thought would be able to hold him. Not to mention that he was only being punished for being a loyal friend to Stitch.

Stitch growled and attempted to bite through the chain but Lilo stopped him by saying, "Stitch, I know you can break out. I need you to show Nani that you're behaving." Stitch then took the chain out of his mouth and then Lilo continued, "If you don't then she's going to send all three of us to the town."

"Lilo, there's another-" Mark began but Lilo interrupted him and said, "We can't have a conversation, Mark. Nani said so." Mark scoffed and said, "Fine." Lilo went back in the house and set Scrump down next to the broken record player.

"Since the accident with the record player, I can't play my Elvis record, so…you and I are going to honor the king with a movie marathon, Scrump. A triple feature: Blue Hawaii, followed by Blue Hawaii, and then Blue Hawaii." Lilo was saying to Scrump, as she held the movie, a tree slid into view outside the window behind her. "Popcorn's ready!" Lilo suddenly said as she ran into the kitchen to retrieve it. Mark and Stitch took a peek in the window and Scrump looked around, glided over to the movies and began throwing them around. Mark reached for Scrump, but Scrump simply took one of the cassettes and smacked his hand with it. "Ow! What is with me today? This is something that would normally happen to Gantu." Mark said furiously as he shook the pain out of his hand.

Stitch growled, broke through the chain, went inside the house and attacked Scrump, who was now unwinding the video tapes. Scrump tried to get stitch off by bonking his head with a video tape a few times. "What's all the racket in there?" Lilo asked as she came into the room with a bowl of popcorn. "That sounded like-" She began but then she dropped it in surprise at the site that lay before her. Stitch saw her and spit Scrump out, knowing what it looked like. "Stitch not bad. Was scary dolly!" Stitch accused, pointing at Scrump. Mark entered the room through the front door but nobody seemed to notice him. "Scrump is very smart, Stitch. But she doesn't go around breaking plates and unspooling video tapes." Lilo told him. Scrump's eyebrows bounced up and down as Lilo said this and Stitch attacked Scrump again.

Jumba suddenly caught Stitch in a net and said, "Saw six-two-six sneaking in window. Had bad feeling that he was up to no good."

"Well, I don't believe Stitch is guilty. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and a fair trial." Lilo said proudly as she patted the captured alien. Jumba and Pleakely widened their eyes while Mark smiled at Lilo's determination to believe that Stitch was innocent. A while later, they had a family court, with Jumba as the Judge, Stitch as the Defendant, Lilo as his lawyer, Mark as his eyewitness and Pleakely as the persecutor.

"Court is being in session! Judge Jumba Jukiba presiding. Six-two-six is accused of all sorts of naughtiness and will be judged before a jury of peers." The jury was a bunch of stuffed animals. "How does experiment plead?" Jumba asked. "Not guilty, your honor!" Lilo answered. "We are ready for persecutor." Jumba announced and then Pleakely walked in the room with a box of evidence. "Your honor, my esteemed opponents, jury of toys, I will prove beyond reasonable doubt that defendant six-two-six is guilty of all heinous crimes with which he is charged."

Pleakely then pulled out his withered flower and said, "Exhibit A: My poor begonia plant, brutally pulled from its home."

"Objection!" Both Lilo and Mark shouted. Mark had forgotten that he wasn't playing the role of Stitch's lawyer, apologized, and let Lilo continue, "That plant was going to croak anyway." Lilo leaned over to Stitch and whispered, "All his plants do."

"Irrelevant! Your honor, playthings of the jury, my lack of skill in the botanical arts must not blind you to the evidence. Exhibit B: A paintbrush, used to paint a sleeping Nani, found in the defendant's possession!" Pleakely accused again as he pulled out the paint brush. "Objection! Someone probably put it there to frame Stitch. Where were you last night, huh, Pleakely?" Lilo accused, pointing to Pleakely. "Me?" Pleakely asked in shock. Jumba banged his gavel and reminded that this was a fair trial.

Pleakely then had the record player as he continued the trial, "Exhibit c, your toynesses: A record player trampled mercilessly by the defendant!" Lilo and Stitch looked at each other and then Lilo said, "Objection! It…it could have gotten broken some other way…maybe? I call to the stand, defendant six-two-six." Stitch went up to the stand and Lilo held out a record case, stitch put his right hand on it, and raised his left hand as Lilo asked him, "Stitch, do you promise to tell the truth, all truth, and every little bit of the truth, just like the king of rock and roll?"

"Ih." Stitch answered. "Stitch, please tell the court in your own words. Did you do any of those bad things?" Lilo asked him. Stitch answered, "Robota gito."

"Six-two-six says he has no memory of crimes. He claims he was sleeping all during time." Jumba translated. "Now I call to the stand the eyewitness, Mark Nissan." Mark got up and switched places with Stitch. Lilo asked him the same thing as he put his right hand on the record cover and raised his left hand. "I do." Mark answered without hesitation. "Mark Nissan, please tell the court, in your own words. What exactly did you see?" Lilo asked him. "Well, when Nani so gratefully threw me out of the house and just before Lilo here closed the door, I saw Scrump smile evilly through the crack. It was then that I realized that an experiment designed to possess objects must have been recently activated and has been framing the defendant this whole time."

Mark then turned to Jumba and asked, "Your honor, have you created an experiment with these capabilities?"

"Of course, experiment three-seven-five: designed to possess inanimate objects and create utter chaos. Heh, heh, heh, one of Jumba's most ingenious evil ideas." Jumba answered. "The defense rests." Lilo said confidently before sticking her tongue out at Pleakely, who shouted the minute he saw this, "She's in contempt your honor!"

"Am not, this is my house. I can do whatever I want." Lilo stated. "Little girl has point. Proceed with cross-examination." Jumba said.

"You better believe it'll be cross!" Pleakely said harshly. "Mark Nissan, you claim you saw Scrump, the doll sitting right there in the jury smile evilly just as Lilo closed the door. Nice alibi, I'm being sarcastic. Of course, you haven't been yourself today in case you didn't notice, you were thrown out of the house by an adult female being. Oh yes, she is a part of your family and you wouldn't fight back, but isn't it possible that something could be wrong with your head? That maybe you imagined the whole thing?" Pleakely asked Mark.

"Well, yes. It is possible. As much as I take care of my body both inside and out, I am just as vulnerable to viruses and much as everybody else is. And while I admit I seemed to have lowered in my skill level today, that has nothing to do with what I saw. The defendant saw it too, and both the defendant and I saw Scrump unwinding the tapes. If I imagined that, then so did an experiment, who, I may remind you, is indestructible." Mark answered smartly. "Be that as it may, the defendant was caught in the act at least on one account wasn't he?" Pleakely slyly asked. "What are you talking about?" Mark asked suspiciously.

Then Pleakely held up the picture and showed it to the Jury as he said, "Exhibit D! Perhaps Stitch would like to explain this photograph clearly revealing him using Nani's toothbrush to scrub his putrid purple toes."

"Just off the record, the defendant's toes are blue, not purple." Mark corrected. "Whatever." Pleakely replied as he rolled his eyes. A while later, Pleakely walked up to the jury and began asking questions to the defendant's lawyer, showing the damage done to the Jury that Stitch had done on past accounts. "Wasn't it defendant six-two-six who chewed off the arm of Mr. fluffy bear here?"

"Objection! I sewed it back on." Lilo said in Stitch's defense. Pleakely continued, "And how about Little Susie tea party, anybody seen her head? I haven't because it's gone!"

"Objection! Stitch didn't mean to eat her head, it was a freak accident, he was…accidentally hungry." Lilo tried to explain, but even that sounded like a weak defense to her. "Accident? Minutes ago, poor little Scrump was involuntarily admiring the defendant's dental work!" Pleakely said, pointing a finger at Stitch. Once again, both Mark and Lilo said at the same time, "Objection!"

"I thought we cleared this up Pleakely. Scrump was being possessed by a recently activated experiment that was designed to-" Mark began, but Pleakely interrupted him, saying, "You are an eyewitness and are, therefore, not authorized to give objections." Mark wanted to argue, but there was no point. The eyewitness never had the authority to call for an objection, only the lawyer did. As Lilo said her objection, Mark and Stitch looked at Scrump suspiciously. Scrump turned its head and raised its eyebrow at Stitch.

Stitch attacked it and Lilo separated them. Mark grabbed his hair in fear, he knew that this would not be good for the case. "Stop!" Nani suddenly shouted from the front door and everyone froze as they looked at her. "Someone, any one…you!" She said pointing to Jumba before she pointed to Stitch and continued, "What's happening with him?"

"Hard to say, maybe Six-two-six is reverting back to old ways, becoming monster again." Jumba answered.

"A relapse! Oh no, my begonias can't take it!" Pleakely shouted before taking his plant, stroking it, and saying, "Happy thoughts, think happy thoughts."

"So what do we do?" Nani asked Jumba. A while later, Jumba put Stitch in a glass ball that scanned his body. "Analyzer computer will probe every aspect of six-two-six. If he is going back to old ways, we'll soon find out." Jumba said as Stitch began pounding on the glass, trying to get free.

"Test takes few hours Six-two-six, you'll be staying in there. Be back soon." Jumba said as he walked away. "Jumba's only going to make sure that Stitch is alright." Nani told Lilo with a reassuring voice. Tears filled Lilo's eyes as she saw Stitch trapped in the glass ball. Mark wasn't happy about this. He had tried to tell everybody what was going on, but nobody would seem to listen to him.

"I gotta get back to work. Maybe I'll bring a pizza when I get back." Nani suggested, Scrump smiled evilly at Stitch over Lilo's shoulder as Lilo said, "I guess it's just you and me, Scrump." Stitch sat down and groaned as he saw Lilo walk away with the one who had framed him for everything. Stitch looked and the picture and gasped in surprise as he saw that in the very corner of the picture, the bathroom mirror managed to give off the reflection of Scrump holing a camera.

Back in the house, once night had fallen, Lilo asked Jumba and Pleakely if they'd seen Scrump. "Uh, no, not seen makeshift rag doll. Am watching repaired movie of king now." Jumba said as Pleakely got up, and started trying to dance. "How does he move his hips like that?" Pleakely asked as he tried to dance like Elvis. Lilo went upstairs and saw Scrump pulling on a table cloth to ruin Pleakely's plant again.

"Scrump?" Lilo questioned. When Scrump heard her, the doll turned it's head to her and fell to the floor, hoping that she didn't see it move. "Oh no you don't! I saw you. You can stand up and everything and you broke Pleakely's plant!" Lilo accused. Suddenly, three-seven-five flew out of Scrump. "You're a ghost…a phantasmo or something!" Lilo said before the experiment possessed a rope near the window and used it to tie Lilo up as she tried to make a run for it. "Little stinker!" Lilo scolded the experiment. Mark, Jumba, and Pleakely came up to the room.

"My begonia!" Pleakely shouted. "Little girl should not be playing with rope." Jumba said as he walked into the room. Then the rope tied Jumba, Mark, Pleakely, and Lilo together and Pleakely said, "I think it's the rope that's doing the playing."

"Ya think?" Mark asked sarcastically. The experiment flew out of the rope and Jumba was about to shout in discovery when Mark said, "I told you guys what was going on. So much for being an evil genius Jumba, I figured it all out this morning, but you guys didn't seem to want to listen to me."

"Well sorry. But with your constant sarcasm, we really don't like hearing it anyway." Pleakely told Mark. "Hey!" Mark shouted, glaring at Pleakely. "What?" Pleakely asked cluelessly. The experiment took possession of Scrump again and Pleakely asked Jumba, "What does it want?" Jumba answered, "Three-seven-five has advanced programming. Now that we have learned his secret, he'll probably get rid of us." As Jumba said this, Scrump got a blaster ready and aimed it at the four of them.

"Don't worry. The weapon is only loaded with net." Jumba informed them. Scrump, apparently, heard him, took the net out and replaced it with a laser cartridge. Upon seeing this, Jumba said proudly, "Ha! He has replaced net with my new laser cartridge! I am so proud of his smartness."

"Way to go genius! Now, because of you, we're all going to be vaporized…or something similar!" Mark said to Jumba harshly. "I'm just going to faint…I'm too terrified to faint. How about if I just scream?" Pleakely said before he screamed in terror.

Scrump began walking toward them, aiming the blaster at them and laughing evilly. Mark suddenly cut through the ropes with the blades on his EMP cannons, slid on the ground, kicked the blaster out of Scrump's hands, caught it, and disarmed it in a matter of seconds. "Whoa Mark…way to bring back you're a-game." Lilo said proudly to her foster brother as she pushed the cut ropes off of her. Scrump back up toward the window when Stitch's voice yelled, "Makka the family! Chubi Ciba!" Stitch jumped from the window and attacked Scrump again, and this time, nobody even bothered to stop him.

Scrump scowled at Stitch and then smirked before three-seven-five flew out of the doll and went through a wall. Stitch and the others went after it. Before they left the room, Lilo hugged Stitch and said, "I knew you weren't all bad." Mark re-armed the blaster with the net and gave it to Stitch. As they went down the stairs, Stitch was clearly ready as he constantly held the gun in a ready position. The lights suddenly went off when they were halfway down the stairs and a scared Pleakely said, "You know, I think I'll just wait upstairs under the covers, ok?" as he walked up the stairs.

Mark, Lilo, and Stitch were checking rooms at this point, but there was no sign of three-seven-five. A possessed vacuum cleaner waited for him and began sucking in his head. The struggling Pleakely cause the vacuum to tumble down the stairs and knock Jumba off the last two set of stairs. After a few more moments of resisting, Pleakely got it off his head, which thinned out and made him look even more noodle-like. "My head! My beautiful cranial orb!" Pleakely shouted as he rubbed his head, but it eventually popped back into its original shape.

Three-seven-five left the possessed vacuum. Lilo spotted him and shouted to Stitch, "There he is!" Stitch shot the net at the experiment, but Three-seven-five was ghostly and the net went right through him and trapped Jumba and Pleakely instead. Three-seven-five flew into the kitchen, but Lilo saw his plan and went to the living room. Mark and Stitch followed the experiment but before Mark went into the kitchen, he said to Jumba and Pleakely, "You two, stay here!" And then went into the room. "Um, we can't move Mark." Pleakely informed, and then Jumba said, "Pleakely, I think Mark was making the fun of our position."

"Oh…" Pleakely said.

Three-seven-five went for the front door, but Lilo was ready for him with an experiment capsule. Surprised, the experiment stopped in his tracks. "Gotcha, trouble maker!" Lilo said as she slammed the experiment capsule down on Three-seven-five, who simply flew through the top and then out the door behind Lilo. Lilo opened the door and saw as the experiment flew out of view. Mark, Lilo, and Stitch went for the dune buggy and drove after the experiment. After a few minutes of searching, Lilo said, "I don't see him."

Suddenly, a stop light came to life and launched coconuts at the vehicle. Stitch turned the dune buggy around and Lilo said, "Follow that stop light." as it ran away from them. Stitch chased the stoplight for a moment and ran it over. The experiment left the stop light and took over a tiki decoration. The tiki ran into a alley and tripped over a trash can. The dune buggy was following it close behind and shot some sort of anti-ectoplasmic substance at the tiki. The experiment struggled to get past the substance as Lilo walked over to it and said, "No getting away this time. Come on outta there."

"Lilo, it's an anti-ectoplasmic substance, the only way he can get out is to go through the-" Mark began but stopped right there as he remembered Jumba's mistake. However, the experiment already knew what to do before Mark even said anything and the substance no longer showed signs of struggle. "I'm getting a bad feeling…" Lilo said. "Ih." Stitch agreed just as the dune buggy turned itself on. "Oh no." Mark said worriedly as he knew that he was in for a ride.

Lilo and Stitch ran out of the alley and the dune buggy chased them ruthlessly and Mark hung on for dear life. Mark slid into the drivers seat and tried to turn the steering wheel but to no success. Stitch grabbed Lilo and quickly climbed up a wall and over a small building. When they reached the ground all they saw were the headlights and began to run away when Nani's voice called out, "Lilo!" Jumba, Pleakely, Nani, and even Mark were heading toward her in Nani's car.

Lilo didn't bother to ask how Mark got from the runaway dune buggy to Nani's car. She knew that he had his own way of getting around. "This is one of those rare moments when I like to hear my sister yelling at me." Lilo told Stitch as they both headed to the car. "So, I hear that there's an experiment out there that takes over inanimate objects?" Nani asked them as she drove around a bit, trying to find the runaway vehicle. "Yup. Makes it look like other innocent experiments did bad stuff when they didn't do anything wrong at all." Lilo told her sister, who guiltily replied, "Ok, I get it. My bad."

"Guys, we have company!" Mark alerted his family from the roof of the car. Lilo looked in the passenger side mirror and saw the dune buggy chasing them, firing the anti-ectoplasmic substance at them as they drove down the street. "Would someone tell me what this experiment wants?" Nani asked. "He's never had a home because he's always jumping from place to place and I think he craves attention, that's why he liked being in Scrump." Lilo said when both her and Mark got an idea and said at the same time, "That's it! Make a left here!"

Nani followed both of their orders and eventually, they arrived at the Macki Macaw's restaurant. As Nani stopped, Mark slid on the roof of the car, flipped onto the hood and then jump-flipped off of the car and in front of the restaurant's door. The rest of his family followed in a not-so-fancy fashion and went in the restaurant as the experiment caught up with them, flew out of the car and followed them inside.

Lilo and Stitch went over to the prize grabber machine while Mark went backstage as he came up with a plan to keep Three-seven-five's existence hidden. The experiment took over the prize grabber, made the claw grab Stitch and stuffed him in the machine and then the experiment flew out of the machine and went for Lilo, who ran away. Lilo ran behind the stage with Mark, the show didn't start yet, but the kids were eager to see it. A child walked up to the machine and saw Stitch looking out of it and was about to put a quarter in when the blue alien went out through the prize receiver and headed for the stage.

The experiment saw the mechanical bird and possessed it. The experiment flew around, trying to determine which of the three it should attack first. Lilo ran up to the curtain controls and started the show right on time. The curtains opened and the robotic bird smiled happily, not evilly, as it saw so many kids cheering for it. "They love you! Isn't this better than causing chaos? How about we make this your home?" Lilo said to the robotic bird. "Yeah! Nigoba, nakachuba!" Stitch said encouragingly and Mark simply said, "As long as you're not framing anybody, I'm fine with it."

The bird strummed the guitar it was holding, the kids cheered even more and the show began on it's own accord. The robotic bird was now flying through the crowd as it played it's guitar. "Again, Little girl and Mark Car-person have found one place where experiment is beloved." Jumba said in awe. "Yeah, they're good, even if Mark is a little annoying." Pleakely said. Nani looked guilty as she walked up to the three and said, "I owe all three of you an apology. I'll try to listen to you from now on, Mark. And innocent until proven guilty, I'm old enough to know that. I'm sorry."

Lilo whispered in Stitch's ear and Stitch smiled as Lilo told Nani, "Ok, we'll forgive your behavior on one condition." Stitch finished for her, "Nani buys games and pizza." Nani chuckled and said, "I guess that's fair." She handed stitch the money and looked at Mark who said, "Don't look at me, I just have to know you're sorry and I'll forgive you." The waiter walked up to Mark and said, "Wow, you're pure genius. How'd you get it to fly around like that?" Jumba opened his mouth to answer, but Mark went along with his own plan and said, "Now, now, you know I don't give away the secrets behind my skillful nature."

Jumba crossed his arms and glared at Mark for taking all the credit for his experiment. The waiter chuckled in defeat in walked away. "So…what is the secret behind your skillful nature, Mark?" Nani asked him. Mark simply answered, "Vigorous training, good health…" And he stroked Stitch's head as he finished, "…and you guys, my new Ohana."
