-1Mark spun around and fired at another robot with his EMP cannons. He can't believe that it had been an exact year since he did this kind of training. If anything, his time with Lilo and Stitch appeared to have improved his aim. He was back in the old building that he was in a year ago just before his adventures with his new Ohana started. Mark jump-back-flipped in the air over the final android and finished it off. "Man…it was never this easy before." Mark commented on the situation.
Having nothing else to do, he left the building. Upon closing the doors behind him a cop walked up too him and stopped him. "Hey! No trespassers allow-oh…sorry, Mark." Mark smiled in relief and said, "Ah, don't worry. Just training and revisiting old memories."
"Yeah. I heard you got yourself a new Ohana. The Pelekai family, eh? How're they working out for ya?" The cop asked.
"They're not too bad. Stitch can be a little trouble-maker sometimes, but he's a good dog. We play all the time. He's very energetic for a little guy. The others are great too. They have their own worries, their own lives. They know that I like my space sometimes." Mark chuckled and looked up at the sky, he was being honest when he said that the others were great as well. "Well, that's good to hear. I'm sure your parents would have loved to meet them. You know, that Lilo and Nani lost their parents too? You three have a lot in common, no wonder they adopted you into their family."
Pain stuck Mark's heart at these words. He was the only one who knew that his and Lilo and Nani's parents died in the same car accident. It was three years ago now when it happened. "Yeah…yeah, I knew." Mark answered in a depressed tone. The cop heard the change in his voice and asked, "You alright?" Mark looked at him and said in his best efforts to hide his sadness, "Yeah, I'm fine. I should be going now. With my family not knowing where I am and all." Before the cop could reply, Mark was walking away. When he was out of view he let his tears flow. They were out of sadness over losing his old family and happiness of finding a new one.
Later, on the Prison asteroid: K37, a role call was taking place as the prisoners got ready for bed. "Cell check 750. Hamsterwheel present, confirmed." A guard said into a radio and then continued on his way. Hamsterviel, who was pretending to sleep, opened one eye and said when the guard was out of earshot, "Ha! I am never to be secured. Ach Glach Nach Gaga." Upon those last words, a computer voice responded, saying, "Hamsterwheel detention override sequence activated."
"Hamsterviel Viel! You oh-so-silly computer voice!" Hamsterviel corrected irritatedly. The Cell had then transformed into Hamsterviel's own private office. "Contact Gantu." Hamsterviel commanded the computer.
"We're losing power! We're losing power!" Gantu said as he took a bubble bath inside his spaceship and played with model spaceships. "We're hit! Force shields down! Reroute all power to aft weapons!"
"Gantu!" Hamsterviel called as the screen popped up in front of the sharkish alien. "Uh, uh. D-Dr. Hamsterviel. I was just practicing my tactical maneuvers." Gantu lied as he showed his boss the spaceship models. "I do not care for your plastic amusement. It is your failures at catching my experiments that sickens me to the bone!" Hamsterviel scolded Gantu as the screen pressed up against Gantu's face intimidatingly.
Gantu pushed the screen back a bit and explained, "S-sir, it's not my fault. It's that Six-two-six, that obnoxious teenager, and that little girl Earthling."
"SILENCE! You are good for nothing but the pathetic excuses. That is why I am giving your job to someone infinitely more competent." Hamsterviel said to him. "More competent? But I-" Gantu began but Hamsterviel interrupted him, saying, "Have failed me Gantu. As of this moment, you are fired!" And with that, the screen turned off. "But…you can't fire me." Gantu objected a bit too late. "Ooh, ouch. Hurts to be you. A word of advice: Before you go looking for a new job, put some pants on." Six-two-five said to Gantu before walking away with the large plate of sandwiches he was holding. Gantu growled furiously and crushed his toys in anger.
Back at the house, Lilo and Stitch were playing checkers while Mark was being the referee. Lilo moved a piece and Stitch took some of Lilo's pieces by jumping one of his pieces over hers with his tongue. Lilo looked at Mark, who said, "It's a fair play."
"Lilo!" Nani shouted from the living room as she entered. "Uh-oh. Nanisaurus rex is on a rampage again." Lilo said dully as she heard her older sister's voice.
"Look at these bills! $20 for the window Stitch broke, $60 for a new door for the refrigerator, $200 for Mr. Kauakini's broken gas grill!" Nani complained. "What! I fixed all of those! Why are we getting bills for them? Don't pay them, Nani. I fixed all of those thing good as new free of charge, just like I always do when Stitch accidentally breaks something." Mark informed her. "That's good news. But why the grill, Lilo?" Nani asked. "It was an emergency gas-grilling situation, and we caught the experiment." Lilo answered. "That's great honey, but it's not going to pay all of these bills." Nani said. "I told you, you don't have to pay them. They're charging you for no reason." Mark explained once again.
Nani nodded at him to show that she knew but that she was trying to prove a point. She looked at Lilo again and said, "I'm sorry but that means no hula lesson this week."
"But I need my hula lessons. For self-esteem, personal growth, and development. See, I-" Lilo began but stopped as she saw her broken hula trophy. Stitch tried to put it back together with his saliva, but it wasn't sticky enough to hold it together. "Ok, that does it! I have had it up to here with the little blue wrecking ball." Nani said before handing a book to Lilo.
Lilo read the title aloud, "The Shining path to puppy hood: Turning your bad dog good with the ancient wisdom of the East. Dog training?"
"It's a new approach using some old techniques." Nani said as she got out the dreaded squirt bottle and handed it to Lilo. Stitch was stacking checkers pieces and accidentally knocked his tower over when he bent over to pick up another piece. Out of anger, he tore the board into four pieces and Lilo sprayed him with water. After she did this, he just stood there for a moment. Lilo read the book aloud, "When the shining path to goodness eludes your puppy, spray him with the water bottle of karmic cleansing."
"Now, Lilo that's just cruel! You know Stitch hates being sprayed with water." Mark protested. Nani raised an eyebrow at him and held up another book and said, "And this one's a guide to help teenagers to listen to their elders." Nani handed the book to Lilo as well. Lilo read it to herself this time and then sprayed Mark in the face with water. Mark's hair was sopping wet and flopped over his face. Mark moved his hair out of the way and asked miserably, "What…was that for?" Mark hated being sprayed almost as much as Stitch did.
"The book says to use the same method of training as you would a dog." Lilo explained to him. "Great." Mark said as he put his hand down, letting the hair flop in his face again. Stitch looked at Lilo for a while before grabbing both books and tearing them to shreds. "Good luck." Nani said to Lilo as she left the house. Lilo walked up to Stitch and said in her heart-filled voice, "Stitch, you need to play the good doggy for a little while. Just so Nani can see that you know how to be good." Stitch looked away, crossed his arms, and huffed in anger. "This is important. Will you do it for me? Because I love you." Lilo said. Mark noticed that Lilo used those last four words rather lightly, as if they had no meaning to her.
Stitch, however, didn't seem to notice this as he said, "Ok, ok. Stitch good. Very good." Lilo and Stitch hugged. Stitch then began sniffling and stuck his tongue up his nose. Once he did this, Lilo squirted him again and Mark rushed up to Stitch and pulled him away from Lilo. Lilo then Squirted Mark too, for trying to interrupt her training for Stitch.
A while later, Lilo officially began training Stitch. "Your puppy must learn to walk gently on the path of goodness." Lilo read aloud before pointing to a paper path and explaining to Stitch, "This is rice paper, the most delicate paper in the world. All you have to do is walk across it without tearing it."
"That's impossible, Lilo! Even I couldn't do tha-" Mark began but was interrupted as Lilo squirted him again.
Stitch carefully began walking on the paper. It seemed ok at first, but then the paper tore on his second step and Lilo squirted him on the back of the head. Out of fury, Stitch shredded a little bit of the rice paper. Lilo squirted him again after he was done. Stitch shook the water off and his fur went poofy, making him look ridiculous. Mark took Stitch away and fixed both his own and Stitch's hair.
"The path to puppy hood has many twists and turns, but your puppy must persevere." Lilo read aloud as she prepped Stitch for a maze test. Mark was waiting on the other end. "Find your way out of the maze. But don't lose your cool." Lilo said to Stitch before he entered. Stitch ran into three dead ends, got extremely frustrated, and made his own way through. Lilo squirted him when he got out. Mark and Lilo looked at each other and out of nowhere, Lilo accidentally squirted Mark again. "What was that for?" Mark asked angrily. Lilo chuckled nervously and explained that her hand had slipped.
A while later, Lilo, Jumba, Mark, and Pleakely were in the living room. Mark kept trying to keep his hair out of his face, but it kept flopping back. Jumba was working on a new invention of his, and Pleakely was painting something. "Stitch is having a hard tie finding the delicate lotus of his doggy nature. He just likes breaking stuff." Lilo said to Jumba before sighing and finishing, "Expensive stuff."
"Do not to be worrying. When my invention is complete, Ohana will be swimming in moneys. We can pay for any destruction Six-two-six can be making." Jumba informed her. "And when my money making progress is finished, we won't need your invention." Pleakely said as he continued his painting.
"You guys, we don't need money, I have over a million dollars already." Mark informed them both. Upon hearing the amount, all three of them looked at him in pure awe. "How is it possible?" Jumba asked. "Hello! I wrote a book. I get a paycheck for one thousand dollars every week." Mark explained. Pleakely continued, "Well, Your book is one thing, but my masterpiece will be bringing in more than that a week."
"Let me see!" Lilo said as she hopped off the couch and went over to Pleakely. "Oh no, nobody looks until the big unveiling. But believe me, it's stunning. A surefire money-making juggernaut that will have our Ohana positively swimming in cash. Enjoying a lifestyle of leisure, luxury, and-don't I look terrific in this beret?" Pleakely asked as he pointed to the light blue beret he was wearing with his paintbrush. "Ya, you kinda do." Lilo answered as she observed him. "Must admit, it's very fetching." Jumba replied. "Well, yes. But I've seen better." Mark answered. His hair flopped onto his face again and he groaned in anger, "That's it, I'm drying my hair!" Mark said as he stormed off to the bathroom.
A little while later, Gantu was applying for a job at an office. "So, Mr. Gantu, what skills can you bring to a job?" The woman who was interviewing him asked. "Well, I am qualified in sixteen different weapons categories, licensed to pilot nebula-class warships, including ones with new quantum displacement drives." The woman just stared at him and replied, "…Ok. Can you type?" Gantu had just started his new job and when he tried to type on the keyboard, the entire desk went through the floor and through the floor under that. "Oh blitsnak." Gantu groaned. He just knew he was going to get fired twice in one day.
Back at the house, Pleakely was finished with his painting. Lilo was the only one watching the unveiling process. "And now, the moment we've all been waiting for. The money-making miracle of the ages! Ta-da!" Pleakely ripped off the sheet that covered his "masterpiece" which was nothing more than a cliché lemonade sign that read, "LEMONADE 10cents A GLASS."
Lilo was expecting more as she said, "A lemonade stand? THAT'S your big idea?"
"Lemonade stands appear in all of your Earth cartoons, and every situation in comedy ever written. It's brilliant! Cliché, but Brilliant! So what do you think? Lilo?" But Lilo had left. She couldn't take Pleakely's dimwittedness and left the house for a while.
Gantu was applying for another job at a sub-sandwich restaurant. "Here's your subwich island special." Gantu said to a customer when his employer demanded, "Avast. Speak it proper says I."
"Um…what?" Gantu asked. His boss explained in normal grammar, "You need to talk like a pirate, it's part of the job." Gantu sighed and said in pirate talk, "Aye, aye Captain Breadbeard." Gantu then turned to the costumer and said dully, "Ahoy matey. Sandwich ho. Thar be a special with extra ched-argh." Gantu then handed the sandwich to the costumer, which happened to be Six-two-five.
The experiment looked at the sandwich in disgust and said, "Yeesh. You call this a sandwich? This isn't a meal, this is a mistake. Captain, keel-haul this lubber." Gantu appeared shocked that his partner would purposely get him fired. "Aye, ye customer's always right. Time for thee to walk the plank into the briny deep of unemployment." Gantu just pulled his bosses hat down over his head, said, "Oh, blitsnak." And walked out of the restaurant, now fired three times in one day.
Back at the house, Jumba was working on his invention in the kitchen while Lilo was pouting in the same room. "No matter what I do, Stitch keeps breaking things." Lilo complained. "Sometimes people cannot change, and is even more difficult for a formerly evil genetic experiment." Jumba replied. Stitch was in the living room, eavesdropping on the conversation. "If he doe doesn't change, Nani says we can't afford to keep him." Lilo told Jumba. Stitch lowered his ears and bowed his head in sadness at these words when suddenly, a TV commercial announced, "Do you need money? Do you have first-hand experience with extra-terrestrials?"
An eager Stitch replied, "Ih, ih!" The commercial continued, "Then contact professor Gunther Freem. He'll pay cash on the dollar for proof of aliens from outer space."
"Meega alien." Stitch thought aloud. The commercial ended with, "Don't delay get your cash today! Offer not void in some galaxies. Freem is Meerf spelled backwards." Stitch gave it some thought and decided to take this Professor Gunther's offer. Stitch snuck out the window and disappeared from view. Lilo walked in the room with the squirt bottle and said, "Ok Stitch, practice time…Stitch?" Lilo saw the open window and looked out of it and said his name again, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Mark entered the room and Lilo ran past him and into the living room. She was determined to find her little blue friend. "Stitch? Stitch, where are you?" She called out as she looked under the table. "I can't find Stitch anywhere." Lilo complained to Jumba. "Oh, that's just great. I'm gone for ten minutes and Stitch disappears." Mark complained before adding reassuringly, "Don't worry, I'll help you find him." Mark disappeared back into the living room. Jumba thought about it and suggested that Stitch was probably either taking a nap or hiding from the spray bottle and, as he put it, sulking like a baby.
Lilo became heartbroken and even more worried at Jumba's second suggestion and said, "Oh no! I've squirted him out of the only Ohana he's ever known."
"Oh gee, yeah. Good job, Jumba. Make her even more worried, that's what she REALLY needs now." Mark said to Jumba sarcastically. Jumba merely glared angrily at Mark's direction.
Lilo went over to the kitchen window and asked Pleakely, who was selling lemonade, if he had seen Stitch. "Nope, but I have seen a lot of paying customers. Earth people offer the most fascinating types of currency, too." Pleakely answered before pulling out a few objects and continuing, "I've made twenty marbles, a coconut, a hubcap, some movie stubs, an oyster shell, and a used Tiki torch." Lilo and Jumba looked at each other. "He has never been good with moneys. But not to worry, money is coming." Jumba said to her.
"I'm not worried about the money. I'm worried about Stitch." Lilo replied to Jumba. Meanwhile in a laboratory that stuck out in a volcano, Stitch rang the doorbell of the lab. An old man with half-moon shaped glasses answered the door. "Yes, yes. I'm a busy man." Professor Gunther scolded Stitch. "Meega alien." Stitch announced. Gunther laughed and said, "You're no alien. Your some sort of mutant koala." Stitch then extended his extra arms, his antennae, and his spines. Gunther looked convinced now as he said, "Outstanding!"
Gunther brought Stitch into his lab. Stitch asked for the money and Gunther informed him, "You'll get your money soon, I just need to run a few tests to make sure you're a genuine alien." Gunther's tests were to see if he was bullet-proof, can think like a supercomputer, and lift three thousand times his own weight. Stitch, of course, had passed all of them being that he was created to do all three. The final test was to see if he was capable of destroying cities. Stitch appeared to be ready for destruction, when he suddenly patted the model buildings calmly as if they were pets.
"Hmm…getting you to change your behavior will be harder than I expected." Gunther said. A mechanical claw grabbed Stitch and then confined him in metal hand an foot holds. Stitch struggled to get free, but with little success. "I am well aware of your strength, Six-two-six." Gunther said in a victorious voice. "Gaba?" Stitch questioned. Something wasn't right. "Once I restore your original destructive programming, all will fear the name of…" Gunther began, but then the top half of his head folded down to reveal a machine with a gerbil in it that continued the sentence with, "Dr. Jacques Van Hamsterviel." Stitch was shocked at his nemesis' arrival. How did he escape from prison? Hamsterviel laughed evilly until he choked on a hairball.
Meanwhile, back at the house, Jumba's invention was finally finished. "At last, evil genius project is ready. I call it, the instant moneys-maker machine." Jumba said as he turned the device on and it began to print money. "It makes money?" Lilo asked Jumba. "Shazam! All the moneys you can be wanting. No more trouble with the bills." Jumba answered. "Cool. But I wish your machine can tell me why Stitch left…or where he is." Lilo said sadly. Mark looked appalled at Jumba's machine and said, "Jumba! This is illegal! We can't print fake money, it's ten times worse than stealing!"
"Ah, you are worrying too much, Mark Car-person. Much like big-girl." Jumba assured him. Mark was about to argue when a commercial came up, saying, "Are you a space alien? Do you need money? Then come see Professor Gunther Freem. Professor Freem offers big bucks for tiny aliens. Don't delay, bring in your little green man today." They all stared in shock at the TV long after the commercial ended when Mark broke the silence, saying, "I've been with this Ohana long enough to know that nothing is coincidence."
"That's where Stitch must be!" Lilo pointed out excitedly. Jumba added, "I know scientists, they like taking things apart, especially genius experiments." Mark smacked his forehead and groaned. He didn't understand why Jumba kept on having to say the wrong thing at the wrong time today. Lilo gasped in fear and said, "What? We've got to save Stitch before he gets taken apart!" With that, Lilo ran out of the house with Jumba and Mark following her.
"Come on Pleakely!" Lilo demanded as she ran by his lemonade stand. "We are rescuing Six-two-six." Jumba explained before following Lilo. "But I just made a fresh batch." Pleakely informed them as he pointed to a new batch of lemonade. Mark pushed Pleakely from behind the lemonade stand to the direction of Lilo and Jumba and said, "Who cares? We've got a little blue alien to save!"
"Alright, but it'll cut into my profits, money doesn't just make itself you know!" Pleakely said as he allowed Mark to push him in their direction. Inside the house, Jumba's money-making machine was flooding the house with money.
Back at the laboratory, Hamsterviel was putting his plan into action. "I hope you are comfortable, Six-two-six. I have invented a way to reverse the polarity in your little meaty meat brain." Hamsterviel said before pushing a button and sending a special helmet to latch onto Stitch's head. Stitch was still struggling to get free, but still, to no success. "In moment, your original destructive programming will return. With you at my side, I will gather up your cousins and wreak havoc on the galaxy with my army of nasty naughtiness!" Hamsterviel laughed and activated his machine.
"Oh, it's times like this when I feel ten inches tall." Hamsterviel said admiringly as he saw his victory in action. When the process was over, Hamsterviel walked over to Stitch and asked him, "And how are we feeling now?" Stitch replied by extending his extra arms and his antennae and saying, "Meega nala queesta!" and cackling. Hamsterviel chuckled in victory and said, "I knew you could not remain a goody four-paws forever." At that moment the doorbell rang and Hamsterviel went from happy to extremely annoyed. "What is distracting me with a distraction?" Hamsterviel asked angrily before putting the robot's head back in its proper position and answering the door. Gantu was there.
"Hello, I'm here about the ad for aliens. I am an alien." Gantu said to the disguised Hamsterviel. "You're a fired alien, that's what you are." Hamsterviel scolded him. Gantu stuttered in shock but then his question was answered when Hamsterviel revealed himself again. "Dr. Hamsterviel? You're supposed to be in prison." Gantu said in shock. "3-day furlough. Just enough time to hire a new assistant." Hamsterviel explained as he showed the confined and changed Stitch.
"The abomination!" Gantu said in disgust. "Yes, with Six-two-six's destructive programming in place, he will help me capture the other experiments! You will not! Goodbye." Was all that Hamsterviel said before slamming the door on the baffled Gantu. The door opened again and Hamsterviel snatched the paper Gantu was holding and said, "Give me that! I recycle!" And then slammed the door again.
Hamsterviel went back to Stitch and asked, "Are you ready to be a very bad boy?" Stitch didn't have to answer as Hamsterviel had then released the shackles holding him and pulled out the model city again. Stitch cackled, rushed over, and began destroying it. After swiping at a few buildings, Hamsterviel roared in victory, "Let's get naughty!" Hamsterviel began laughing evilly when there was another ring at the door. "More interruptions! Right when I was having a naughty moment."
The doorbell rang again, insuring that whoever it was, was very eager to see professor Gunther Freem. "Yes what is it? I'm a bus-" The disguised Gerbil began, but was interrupted when Mark rushed in and pinned the old man against the wall and began interrogating him, saying darkly, "I believe you have something of ours. A little blue alien, 3 feet tall, blue fur, looks like a koala, goes by the name of Stitch?"
"Oh, of course. Come right in. I'm sure he can't wait to see you." Hamsterviel greeted as if Mark didn't just harass him in his own lab. Mark eyed the machine suspiciously and cautiously went into the lab. Lilo, Jumba, and Pleakely followed. "Sometimes it just pays to be evil." Hamsterviel muttered when they were out of earshot.
Hamsterviel went over and opened the doors for them when they approached his lab. Lilo saw Stitch standing over a destroyed model of a city and called out his name happily. Stitch looked over at her. Right away, Mark could tell that something wasn't right. Lilo ran up to Stitch, hugged him, and said, "I was so worried about you!" Stitch just looked confused. Lilo continued, "Even though you break things. I know you're still good. Please come home." Stitch made a move and Jumba interrupted. His timing couldn't have been better. "Ah, ah, ah. One moment please. Evil genius needs to be checking puppy. To make sure he is still in one piece" Jumba said as he separated the two. Stitch struggled against Jumba, trying to get to Lilo, wanting to harm her.
Jumba observed Stitch's actions and said, "Uh-oh. This not looking good." Lilo knew what Jumba meant and argued, "No, Stitch would never hurt us."
"News flash for the little Hawaiian girl: You're wrong! That's exactly what six-two-six was programmed for: Destruction." Hamsterviel explained. Mark made an attempt to attack him when Stitch ripped a piece of the wall off and threatened to harm the rest of the Ohana. Mark saw this and backed off. Stitch calmed down as well, keeping his end of the bargain.
"Wait a minute." Pleakely suddenly said after thinking about it. "You called his Six-two-six. How can you possibly know that unless…" Pleakely continued. His words reached Jumba and Jumba pointed to Hamsterviel and said, "You're no kindly scientist. You are-"
"Yes, it is I-" Hamsterviel began, but then nothing happened. "Ahh! Oh, why won't this open!" Hamsterviel complained from inside his disguise. "Uh, excuse me for a moment." Hamsterviel said before trying to force the hatch open, but with no success. "Oh, never mind!" Hamsterviel said before he crawled out of his disguise's ear.
Jumba and Pleakely gasped. Mark, however, was confused. "Who's the gerbil?" Mark asked them. "Hamster! I am a hamster!" Hamsterviel corrected frustratingly. Mark noticed Hamsterviel's long tail and said, "No…you're definitely a gerbil. And an annoying one at that." Hamsterviel muttered angrily under his breath and scolded Mark, saying, "Great! Now your interrupting interruptions have ruined my entrance." Mark held back a laugh and said, "Interrupting interruptions? What's with the double-word talk? Is that supposed to be a trend or something?" Hamsterviel muttered angrily even more at these words. He and Mark had officially become enemies the minute they met.
"Anyway, what's your name?" Mark asked Hamsterviel. "My name is Dr. Jacques Van Hamsterviel." Hamsterviel introduced himself in his usual evil-like tone. Mark held back another laugh and asked, "Did you say Hamsterwheel?"
"NO, NO! HamsterVIEL! VIEL! With a 'V'! Why doesn't anyone get it right?" Pleakely suddenly screamed and made a run for the exit. "Stop him!" Hamsterviel commanded Stitch. Stitch dropped the wall piece he was holding and blocked Pleakely's exit. "I do not think Six-two-six wants us to be leaving." Jumba pointed out. Mark smacked his forehead as he saw Pleakely's version of a failed "Leroy Jenkins" attempt.
Meanwhile, back at the house Gantu had just finished drinking Pleakely's fresh batch of lemonade when he was introduced by a dollar bill. A few more of them fell from the second floor and Gantu saw this. Upon investigating, he found Jumba's money-making machine. Back at Hamsterviel's laboratory, Stitch had the rest of the Ohana cornered. "You see, I have restored Six-two-six's original destructive programming." Hamsterviel said confidently. "No! Stitch knows not to be destructive. He's good." Lilo argued in disbelief. "Oh, you are so wrong. Like a wrong thing that is mistaken." Hamsterviel argued. "Seriously, if you're supposed to be a genius, the double-word talk is really saying otherwise." Hamsterviel muttered angrily once again, crawled back into his android disguise, and commanded Stitch to destroy the Ohana. They all glared at Mark for putting them in this situation.
Stitch picked up the piece of the wall he tore off earlier and went over to them. "We're gonna get smashed!" Pleakely shouted in fear before running face-first into a wall. "No, Stitch. You know how to behave." Lilo said in a heart-filled tone. Stitch looked confused for a moment but then returned to growling at her, remembering how she had tricked him earlier that morning. Lilo pulled out the squirt bottle and said, "I know you don't want to hurt us. Just like I don't want to hurt you." When Stitch saw the squirt bottle he snarled at her. However, instead of squirting him, Lilo tossed the water bottle aside. When Stitch saw this, he came to the realization that she wasn't tricking him this time. "I know that you're good. Now show everyone else. Will you do it for me? Because I love you." Mark looked at her again. He heard the sincere tone in her voice this time.
"What are you waiting for? Smash them! Smash them!" Hamsterviel ordered. Stitch winked at Lilo and then slammed the wall piece on Hamsterviel's disguise. "Stitch…good?" Stitch asked Lilo. "Very good!" Lilo said happily as she ran over and hugged him. "Best genetic experiment I ever met, that's for sure." Mark added happily. "I think I bit both my tongues." Pleakely said to Jumba. Hamsterviel crawled out of his disguise and said, "This is unacceptable! No one outsmarts the great Dr. Jacques Van Hamsterviel!"
"Today is the day for your smarts to be outed." Jumba mocked Hamsterviel. "So you think." Hamsterviel replied before jumping over to a secret exit and continuing, "But I will be having the last of the laughs." Hamsterviel then began laughing as he headed for his exit.
Suddenly, Mark and Stitch landed in front of him. Mark pointed his EMP cannon at him and said, "Hold it right there!" just as Stitch said, "Ey meega nala queesta!" Hamsterviel screamed in surprise and shouted, "No! Back you rabid hedgehog and amazingly talented earthling! Back I say!" Stitch growled at Hamsterviel when Lilo came up behind Stitch with the squirt bottle. Stitch took the squirt bottle from her and sprayed Hamsterviel with it, saying, "Bad mousey." Mark chuckled, satisfied that the truly guilty one was sprayed instead of him or Stitch.
Soon after this, everyone was distracted as Gantu tore his way through, literally. "Dr. Hamsterviel, I have a few things to get off my chest." He began before picking up Jumba's money printing machine and continuing, "With this machine, I'll have all the cash I need so you can't kick me around anymore!" Mark compared the two and asked in an amused tone, "This is your boss? A two-inch space gerbil? What's he going to do, nibble on you 'till you do what he says?" Mark then busted up laughing at Gantu.
Jumba recognized his machine at once and pointed to it, saying, "Hey! That's my money machine." Hamsterviel hopped on a counter and said, "Hey! Over here if you want a job, I will double you pay…triple!" Lilo turned to Stitch and said to him, "Stitch, this is the one time it's ok for you to be destructive." Stitch handed her the water bottle and said, "Ih!" before tearing up the money-making machine that Gantu was holding. Gantu ran over to Hamsterviel and said, "I'll take the job." Hamsterviel pulled a lever and a wall shot down, separating him and Gantu from the Ohana.
Mark stopped laughing at this time and the place was shaking. "Ok, fun's over, time to leave." Mark said hurryingly as he nudged everyone toward the hole in the wall that Stitch had torn earlier. The laboratory sank down into volcano it was built on and a space ship rose out instead. Hamsterviel's voice was heard taunting them, saying, "You have not seen the last of Jacques Van Hamsterv-" Hamsterviel was interrupted again by another hairball. Mark aimed his EMP cannon at the ship and was prepared to fire, when Jumba lowered Mark's weapon and told him, "Let them go. Hamsterviel will be back in prison, and Gantu will return to his ship." Mark wasn't given a choice, he lowered his weapon and watched as they disappeared into the clouds.
Later that night, back at the house, Stitch fixed Lilo's hula trophy. "Lilo, I'm home." Nani called out as she entered the kitchen from the back door. Lilo pointed out that Stitch had fixed her hula trophy and used real glue this time. "Why thank you, Stitch. Looks like that Zen of dog training really paid off." Nani said to Stitch as she patted his head. "Not really, he found the path of goodness all by himself." Lilo said proudly. There was a crash in the living room and Nani rushed over there and gasped in horror. The entire living room was a mess. Furniture was turned over, the curtains were pulled, pictures crooked, and a stool was destroyed. "What happened!" Nani asked horrifically. "Um…the path kind of went through the living room. He had a little trouble finding the glue." Lilo explained.
Mark entered through the kitchen, leaned his back against the doorway and said to Nani, "Oh and…I'm too mad at you to even help clean this up." Nani fainted and Mark Lilo and Stitch looked at each other. Mark and Stitch did a high-five and laughed out of amusement. "Oh man…it feels so good to stand up to her and not get yelled at or thrown out." Mark admitted as he and Stitch stopped laughing. Lilo even chuckled and replied, "Yeah. You know, I think you fit in here more than other people might think." Mark looked at her with a smile and thanked her. He knew she was right. Even though he hasn't caught an experiment himself yet, he's always fit in here much better than anywhere else.
