-1It was Halloween night and the kids were gathering candy from house to house on the island of Kauai. In the Pelekai house, Mark Nissan was dressed in his old agent uniform, while Lilo and Stitch were getting prepared for the night as well. "Come on, Lilo! You're going to be late for the party!" Mark called from downstairs. Lilo's hula instructor was hosting a Halloween party for his students. "In a minute, Mark!" Lilo called back.

It wasn't long before Lilo came down in the elevator. Her costume was, apparently, a dead hula girl. This was possible with proper makeup setting, and a Halloweenish headband that made it look like she was a victim of an ax attack. "Whoa. Nice." Mark complimented. For once, he wasn't being sarcastic about it. "Thanks." Lilo replied. "Where's Stitch?" Mark asked. "He's decided to help Nani out with the trick or treating." Lilo answered. "I see. Well, we better get you over to the party. It's already started." Mark replied before escorting Lilo out of the house and over to the party's location.

Meanwhile, on a house near an abandoned mansion, an experiment pod labeled 300 was caught on a chimney. A slight breeze caused a few palm tree leaves to knock it free. The pod rolled to a drain on the roof, and fell into a barrel of water. The usual glowing occurred and the pod was replaced by a green blob-like experiment. The experiment poked its head out of the barrel and spotted a mouse eating out of a thrown out package of sardines. The experiment "slithered" out of the barrel and, after another flash of green light, turned into a cat and walked up to the mouse. Frightened, the little animal ran away. However, the green light appeared to have attracted a dog.

The experiment turned back into its usual form; however, this appeared to have made the dog even more vicious. The experiment then shape shifted into a dog-catcher. Frightened, the dog ran away. "Nice doggy." the experiment said in a growling voice. The transformations were so precise, that the only way to determine if it was the experiment was to check if the thing had glowing green eyes. The experiment turned into a snake and slithered away from the scene, in search of more victims.

Back at the hula school, Lilo's hula instructor was tending to one of the younger kids. One of them was crying. Apparently, Halloween didn't suit him very well. "Halloween's just for fun, there's nothing to be afraid of." Lilo's teacher kindly offered the crying child before offering him a papaya. It was then that Lilo and Mark had entered the room, and the younger kids began screaming in terror as they saw Lilo. "I'm a dead hula girl." Lilo said simply before playing with the ax handle on her headband. The kid Lilo's teacher was comforting screamed in terror and ran away.

"Lilo…you never said there were going to be younger kids here." Mark said to Lilo. It was then that he knew what was going to happen. Lilo's costume would be considered too frightening for the younger kids and she'd have to go back home and change into something more innocent. Sure enough, he was right. "Maybe you can change into something more like what your friends are wearing." He suggested, showing her what Myrtle and her friends were dressed as. Ironically, they were all dressed as princesses. Lilo pointed this out in a sarcastic tone and Myrtle replied, "At least we're not a weirdo, weirdo, or weirdo."

"Yeahhh." Her friends agreed behind her in unison.

Lilo agreed to change into a princess costume and she and Mark set off back to the house. Back at the house, it appeared that Stitch didn't really not go with Lilo to help Nani pass out the treats; he didn't go with her so that he could EAT the treats. "Hey! That's for the trick-or-treaters!" Nani scolded Stitch when she caught him snacking on the treats. Stitch spit the pre-digested candy back in the bowel obediently.

"What trick-or-treaters? Nobody comes to the weirdo's house." Lilo said from the hallway before heading upstairs to Jumba and Pleakely's room. Nani left the room. When Stitch saw that the coast was clear, he was just about to continue his snacking on the treats when Nani's haunting voice suddenly shouted, "Don't even think about it!" Upon hearing the words, Stitch stopped immediately.

"I am absolutely refusing to be wearing this! Is too itchy!" Jumba complained to Pleakely. Jumba was in a toga outfit. Upon scratching himself; he accidentally pulled the toga over his stomach and his gut popped out. "That is least of problems." Jumba said as he patted his fat belly. "But you have to wear it! The queen of the Nile demands it. Besides, I am not missing out on trick-or-treating on my first ever Hilowanee." Pleakely said as he stepped from behind the curtain. He was dressed as a female Pharaoh.

"It's pronounced Halloween. I need a new costume, a princess. Can you make it quick?" Lilo said to Pleakely. Pleakely appeared to be overjoyed that Lilo would request that of him as he said, "Can I? Well let me tell you, I had the fastest fingers in my primitive-earth-customs pleats and pinking shears class." Pleakely began working on Lilo's new costume right after he had said this.

In Lilo's room. Stitch was looking up Halloween in an encyclopedia listed under "H" while Mark was watching him on the bed. Lilo arrived and Stitch had asked her about it. "It's a federal holiday. Everybody dresses up like zombies and stuff and try to scare you." Lilo explained. "Ah, Stitch never scared." Stitch replied bravely. "That makes two of us." Mark said to him. "I'm not scared of anything either." Lilo replied bravely. Then she thought about it and admitted, "Except broccoli, and clowns, and…that creepy old abandoned house on the hill." The minute she named that last thing, lightning struck near the house, and thunder roared through the area. "Ok…that was just like something you'd expect from a horror movie." Mark commented.

Mark looked back but Lilo and Stitch had disappeared. Mark rolled his eyes and said, "Oh come on you two! It's only a little bit of lightning." Lilo and Stitch cautiously peeked out from under the bed. Lilo then introduced that she has a coping mechanism. Whenever she get scared, she just pulls out her ukulele and sings "Aloha Oe." Although her singing voice was good, the ukulele could have either used a tune-up or she really needed lessons. "Costume's ready!" Pleakely announced when she finished singing.

Pleakely's costume for Lilo was a princess dress; although, it did look more like a bride than a princess. "Story-book princess. Double stitched!" Pleakely displayed as he stretched it out so that it would fit Lilo better. "And now, for the finishing touch." Lilo said before putting on her ax-victim headband. Back at the party, the experiment appeared to have found its way over there and decided to crash it. "Lilo's weird but she's right. We shouldn't all be princesses. One of you gotta change." Myrtle said to her posse. "But this was all your idea. I wanted to be a hockey player." One of her friends replied. The door opened and Lilo stood in the room. However, her head, which had glowing green eyes, was removed from her body and was held under her arm. "Hi guys." She said in a deadpan voice.

Myrtle and her friends freaked out and dove under a refreshment table. Lilo's hula teacher looked under it and asked, "What's going on here?" Before they could answer, there was another flash of green light and a giant spider headed straight for him. He freaked out and ran away and the younger kids freaked out as well. Everyone except for Myrtle and her friends ran out of the building. The place was silent when Mark, Lilo, and Stitch arrived. "You're going to love this party. Lots of food and you can scare Myrtle." Lilo told Stitch. "Myrtle nala queesta!" Stitch exclaimed in a playfully cute tone.

"Wow! They trashed the place. Told you it'd be fun." Lilo said to Stitch when she saw various tables turned over and food all over the floor. "Where'd everybody go?" Mark asked as he went inside. His instinct told him that something wasn't right. However, being that it was Halloween, he decided to put this aside. Stitch engulfed a papaya, spit it out immediately, and said, "Ew. Organic." Lilo went to look around to see if anybody was still there while Stitch sniffed the air and headed for the kitchen. Mark helped Lilo in her search by putting on his shades and activating the thermal vision feature of them. He spotted a group of people hiding under a table and pointed them out to Lilo.

Lilo went over to the table, lifted the cloth, and said, "Hi guys." to Myrtle and her posse. "Stay away from us!" Myrtle shouted in fear. "I changed my costume. See? Now I'm a princess like you guys…only dead." She said to them before playing with the ax handle again. "Keep your head on!" Myrtle shouted at Lilo. "Wow…that was clever, considering it being Halloween and all." Mark commented. "Why are acting so weird?" Lilo asked them. "Us weird? You're the one who doesn't got your head on!" Myrtle replied. Mark had never been so confused.

"My head?" Lilo asked. "Under your arm."

"You had glowing green eyes."

"You were the scariest thing I ever seen." Myrtle's posse replied. Lilo just gave them a questioning look while Mark scratched his head. He couldn't tell if this was a Halloween prank, or if one of Jumba's experiments was on the loose or what.

Stitch was pigging out in the fridge in the kitchen when something caught his eye. He turned around and spotted the angry looking experiment. The experiment turned itself into water and began to flood the kitchen. Stitch was panicking as the water level began to rise. He splashed his way to the counter and climbed on it. He had then made his way up the fridge, along the wall and to the ceiling lamp. However, the water continued to rise.

"Stitch! Where are you? Stitch." Mark and Lilo called out as they began searching the school. Mark and Lilo then noticed that they were standing on a wet floor and the water was coming from the kitchen. "Stitch!" Mark shouted as he and Lilo ran up to the door. "Mark! Lilo!" Stitch called out desperately. "Hold on Stitch!" Mark called back. The experiment heard his voice and immediately drained into a vent. The kitchen was completely drained of water just as Mark kicked the door open.

Stitch fell from the lamp on onto the floor. "Ow!" He shouted when he hit it. Mark ran over to Stitch, picked him up, and asked, "What happened?" However, the terrified alien could only say, "Hissing green eyes!" over and over again. "You're not…scared are you?" Lilo asked him. "…Naga!" Stitch answered once he had calmed down. "Elana said something about hissing green eyes too." Lilo replied. Stitch shuddered in fear at the words "hissing green eyes." Lilo thought about it and Mark said, "It's got to be another experiment. Either that or this place was haunted all along."

Mark, Lilo, and Stitch were heading back home. Stitch was incredibly jumpy after his near-death experience. An owl hooted and Stitch freaked out, pulling out imaginary blasters and trying to shoot, only to find that he didn't have he weapons. "It was just an owl." Lilo explained. A twig snapped and Stitch jumped and grabbed onto Mark's head. "It was a twig!" Lilo explained again, this time more irritated. Stitch let go of Mark and chuckled nervously.

As they continued the path, Stitch ran into a spider web, and this time, clearly over reacted by tearing a palm tree out of the ground and clearing the forest by swinging it around. "I think you need to come into terms with your fear." Lilo said simply. Stitch planted the tree back in the ground and chuckled nervously again. As they walked away, the tree that Stitch had just planted fell down as well.

Back at the house, Nani was bummed that there were no Trick-or-treaters for yet another Halloween. She reached for the candy but decided against it when a trail of Stitch's saliva made a path between it and the bowel. Suddenly, wooden planks blocked the door's window. "Hey!" Nani shouted in a scolding tone as the other windows were being boarded up too. This pretty much proved it if nothing else did, Stitch was terrified. Terrified enough to board up the house.

In Jumba and Pleakely's room, Jumba and Pleakely were trying on a different set of costumes. Pleakely was dressed as a southern belle and Jumba was dressed as a rich man. "I do declare, we look simply marvelous. Don't we look marvelous? I think we do." Pleakely said in a southern accent. "Frankly, my dear, I am not giving darn. I hate this costume." Jumba complained. "Fine! I'll just start over. Whole new concept! I'm thinking sequins, satin, spade. I got it! Matador! Ole!" Pleakely said as he whipped out a red sheet out of nowhere.

"It's got to be here somewhere." Lilo muttered encouragingly to herself as she searched through Jumba's experiment database? "You sure it was hissing blob?" Jumba asked her. "With green eyes. It scared Stitch" Lilo answered. "Impossible! Nothing scares Six-two-six." Jumba argued. "Tell that to Nani." Mark replied just before Nani shouted, "Lilo! Stitch is boarding up the windows!"

"See?" Lilo asked in an I-told-you-so voice. Jumba just gave her a slight glare.

"Wait…this is it! Experiment 300" Lilo said excitedly as she showed the monitor to the others. "Ah yes. X-300 designed to turn itself into worst fear to scare entire population into submission." Jumba explained. "We have to find it before it gives the whole island the heebie-jeebies." Lilo announced heroically. "Oh, I hope it doesn't come here. His impression of ex-wife is very scary." Jumba explained in fear. "Lilo! He's rearranging the furniture!" Nani yelled from downstairs as Stitch pushed the bookshelf in front of the door. "Don't worry, Mark, me, and Stitch'll get him!" Lilo said before she and Mark left the room. "But with everyone dressed up all scary…it could be anyone!" Pleakely announced fearfully.

A while Later, people were trick-or-treating happily, as they didn't know that a true horror lurked nearby. "It could be anyone." Lilo reminded Stitch and Mark. "Yeah, Pleakely's screams of terror told us that already." Mark replied sarcastically. Lilo gave him a slight glare when Stitch suddenly jumped behind Lilo, thought about it for half a second, and then jumped back where he was. "…I think that was his way of saying that he's got his guard up." Mark said to Lilo. "Right…let's split up." Lilo commanded and she and Mark went in separate directions, while Stitch kept close to Lilo, but hidden behind her.

Lilo turned around, but Stitch dashed out of her view quickly. She turned back the way she was facing and saw Stitch this time. "Splitting up, means going the other way." Lilo reminded him as she set him in the direction he should be heading. "You're not afraid…are you?" Lilo asked Stitch, raising an eyebrow. Stitch just scoffed and stuck his nose in the air, as if he was insulted that she would even think of asking him that. Lilo walked away, Stitch looked back at her, lowered his ears in cowardice, and slowly walked away.

A robot with green eyes walked up to the neighborhood when Lilo went up to it, stopped it, and said, "Face tax."

"Excuse me?" The robot asked in a man's voice. "Sorry. I can't let you through until I see your face, it's the rules." Lilo explained. The robot paused for a moment then lifted its head up and revealed that it was just a regular man in a costume. "No green eyes. Move along." Lilo said as she stepped out of the man's way.

Meanwhile, Mark wasn't having as much luck. "CIA, I'm going to have to see your eyes." Mark tried to fool one man who was wearing a Jason costume, but with no success. "CIA? Please, everyone knows you don't work for them. You were too good for them to even let you join. And why should I show you my eyes?" The man replied. "If I told you that, you wouldn't believe me. Especially around this time of the year." Mark answered. "If I don't know the reason, then I'm not showing." The man said to Mark before trying to continue on his way. "Wait…" Mark groaned. "Fine. We have reason to believe that there's a shape-shifting monster on the loose and the only way to determine which is a real human or not is to check for glowing green eyes…" The man just looked at Mark, laughed a bit and said, "Oh, good one man." Mark gave a miserable look, but the man ignored it and continued on his way, still laughing at what Mark had told him.

Meanwhile, Stitch was incredibly jumpy as a newspaper harmlessly blew into his face; he tore it to shreds out of surprise and instinct. When he finally started to calm down, there was a piece of newspaper sticking cutely out of his mouth. He pause for a moment before spitting it out. Lilo was looking around suspiciously as Stitch was sneaking around with his blaster out and ready to fire. Stitch backed up into a kid wearing a dog costume.

Freaking out, Stitch immediately turned around and fired, wrapping the kid in a pinkish and gooey kind of string. Stitch realized his mistake a moment too late. His mother called for her son and Stitch, freaking out, shot her too. She screamed in terror, and her husband arrived. Stitch shot him out of fear as well. A woman screamed, "A monster!" Lilo heard the cries of terror and said happily, "A terrified citizen…YAY!" as she skipped joyfully over to the area.

Back at the house, Nani was watching a scary movie, knowing that tonight would be yet another uneventful night for her. In the movie a shadowy figure was approaching the house. "A thing is at the door!" A man said. "The monster!" A woman shouted just before screaming in terror. Just as she screamed, the doorbell rang, only this time, it was Nani's doorbell. "Trick-or-Treaters!" Nani said hopefully as she got out of her frightened cringe position and got up to answer the door. Just before Nani opened it, a greenish figure silently shape-shifted into the Social Security agent, Cobra Bubbles. "Oh, Cobra. I didn't know Social workers worked on Halloween. Would you like some candy?" Nani kindly offered. However, Cobra had replied with the one thing Nani had feared most, "I'm here to take Lilo away." Nani gasped in horror and complete confusion.

Meanwhile, back in the neighborhood, Mark heard a scream behind him and saw hundreds of kids and their parents running towards him. The man he had stopped earlier went up to fin, obviously frightened and said to him, "You were looking for the wrong monster, man. The one you need to find has black eyes, not green!" The man then continued running with the others. Mark groaned when he realized who the man was talking about and muttered, "Stitch…" Mark ran the opposite way the people were running, towards the little blue alien. Meanwhile, Lilo noticed all the people covered in a pinkish gooey type of string and she too knew immediately who it was. "Stitch…" she muttered in an upset tone.

Mark caught up with her just ash she said this. "Yeah. I think he still hasn't gotten over his near-death experience. Poor little guy. Halloween is supposed to be about having fun, not being scared out of your mind." Mark replied. Lilo knew exactly what Mark meant. Although Halloween was revolved around fear and evil, you usually see happiness and innocence wherever you went. Kids getting candy and having the time of their lives, not really that frightened about the holiday of fear. "Come on. Let's go find Stitch and go home." Lilo commanded Mark in a defeated tone. They didn't find the experiment, it obviously wasn't here.

A few more kids screamed in fear and ran away. A demonic shadow crept along the ground and bent onto the wall. Then the horns turned out to be large ears. It was later revealed to only be a fearful Stitch. Stitch snuck along the wall and peeked around the corner in terror when a girl called out his name. Stitch screamed and fired without hesitation. Lilo and Mark stepped out from the shadows after he had finished firing. Lilo was covered in the pink, gooey string while it didn't even touch Mark. "Is it just me, or was I completely lucky for once?" Mark asked curiously. Lilo ignored him and told Stitch that they were heading home.

Meanwhile, at the house, Nani was confused, angry, and horrified at Cobra for what he said. "You can't take her away from me! She needs me! I thought we worked this out!" Nani shouted in Lilo's defense. "I'm ssssssss-" Cobra began in a slight hissing voice when Lilo opened the door and saw Cobra and Nani sitting on the couch. Cobra spotted Lilo and got up. Lilo, in pure instinct, took off her headband and threw it at Cobra. It hit his head and knocked off his sunglasses. He opened his eyes and they were glowing green.

Mark immediately pointed his EMP cannon at the experiment disguised as cobra and shouted, "Hold it right there!" The experiment took a step forward and Mark fired his weapon. Instead of an EMP blast, a plasma ball shot out of it. The plasma ball looked something very similar to what Splodyhead would fire from his nose. The experiment dodged the plasma ball easily. "Whoops! Put in the wrong ammo code." Mark said nervously as he began trying to re-enter another code into his upgraded cannons.

Lilo rushed over and grabbed the experiment by the leg. Losing his balance, the experiment hopped back and tripped over the entertainment center. Upstairs, Jumba and Pleakely heard the crash. "What is that?" Jumba asked. "Lilo, no! Have you gone lolo!" Nani scolded Lilo as she tried to get her off of the experiment's leg. The experiment was still disguised as Cobra. Stitch was hiding behind the record player as this was happening. He slammed the player shut, did a battle cry, and fired his pink gooey string stuff at the experiment's legs, tying them up. "Yeah…right when I put in the last digit too." Mark groaned.

The experiment then turned into a longer form of itself. "Lilo! Who-what is that!" Nani shouted in shock, still keeping a hold of Lilo's legs. The experiment struggled to get himself free from Lilo's grasp as Lilo answered, "Experiment 300, but I'm calling him Spooky." Spooky suddenly managed to get himself free by separating and then reconnecting his body area where Lilo was holding on to. Lilo and Nani fell back onto the couch. Spooky turned to its regular size and then slithered under the door. "It's getting away!" Lilo shouted. But Mark was still outside and aimed his cannon at Spooky. The experiment just looked at Mark with a sinister grin for a moment, and then suddenly looked confused. Snapping out of his confusion, Spooky turned into a flash of light, forcing Mark to cover his eyes while Spooky continued to slither away.

"Come on, Stitch!" Lilo shouted as she began to give chase to the experiment. Mark recovered from the bright flash that the experiment somehow managed to pull off and just began to go after it when Nani suddenly grabbed him and said, "Hold it! Nobody's going anywhere until I hear the house rules." She turned to Lilo and said, "You?"

"I stick with Mark and Stitch." Lilo instantly replied. "Right. And you?" Nani asked Jumba. "I am to guard Lilo as if she was being delicate flower." Jumba answered. "Mm-hmm. And?" Nani asked Pleakely. Pleakely thought for a moment before replying, "And dog food is for dogs, not for little girls." Mark just gave Pleakely a weird look, but Nani appeared to be satisfied as she let him go, stepped out of their way, and said, "Ok, go ahead."

Mark, Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakely were all chasing the experiment as fast as they could. A fallen tree was blocking their way, but Mark avoided it completely by using that new grapple of his while Lilo and Stitch simply climbed over it. Pleakely, however, tripped and fell in the mud before he could even get to it. "Hey you guys, wait up!" Jumba called out to them, but they were too far away to hear. Pleakely took off his shoes and commented, "These matador slippers are pretty, but highly impractical!"

Spooky slithered to the front yard of the abandoned house, looked behind him, and continued on his way; sensing his hunters to be close by. Mark, Lilo, and Stitch made it to the front yard. Mark kept going but Lilo and Stitch stopped. "Oh no. I've seen this movie…and I didn't like the ending." Lilo said when she saw that the abandoned house was the very one she had always been afraid of. Mark stopped, looked back, and asked, "What's wrong? Spooky's inside. We still have to catch it."

"Well…good luck then." Lilo said slyly before attempting to walk away as Stitch did the same. "Hold it! That's just not fair." Mark complained. "What isn't?" Lilo asked. "You make Stitch try to catch this experiment when he's downright terrified of it, and you can't bring yourself to go into one old, abandoned mansion? Come on, Lilo. Stitch shouldn't be the one who always does the hard stuff. We all need to face our own share of fears." Mark answered. Lilo thought about what he said and saw his point and cautiously walked up to the house with Mark sticking close by.

As Mark and Lilo were walking toward the house, they noticed that Stitch was missing and turned around. Stitch was hiding behind the leaf of a palm tree that was still in its early growing stages. "Ha. Oh no, no, no." Stitch said to them as he hid behind the leaf even more. "Come on Stitch. In the movie, the hero always has to face the monster." Lilo explained. "Yeah." Mark agreed. Stitch lowered the leaf and said simply, "You go." before quickly pulling it back up over his nose. "We all go. " Lilo said before dragging him out from behind the leaf. Stitch dug his claws into the ground, not wanting to get any closer to the house. Lightning strikes were setting the mood, but Mark wasn't the least bit intimidated by them. It was a different Story for Lilo and Stitch, however.

Lilo gulped and Stitch nudged her to the door and said, "Oh, chunga bey."

"No, you." Lilo replied pushing him in front of her. "Nu-uh. Chunga bey!" Stitch said as he grabbed her arm. Mark rolled his eyes and went in first. Lilo sighed and said to Stitch, "Ok, I'll go." Lilo slowly went to the door and opened it as she began singing Aloha Oe. Once she was inside, her voice echoed eerily throughout the empty house. Mark was nowhere to be seen, he must have moved on in search of Spooky. The house looked like it used to belong to a rich family. There were portraits of many different people lining the walls and floor and cobwebs took up the upstairs railing. Lilo was singing her song when the door slammed behind her and Stitch. They both screamed in shock and Stitch grasped on to her and shivered in fear.

A shadowy figure crept in front of them. "There he is!" Lilo shouted as she followed the shadow, dragging Stitch with her. She and Stitch wound up in a pool room when they lost Spooky. "Ooh! Bunda!" Stitch exclaimed in fear as he almost fell into the pool, which was still filled with water. "I know you're afraid of water, Stitch. But you can borrow my coping mechanism." Lilo said before singing Aloha Oe again. As she said this, two giant hands extended from behind a pillar and slowly went for her. Stitch screamed in fear but Lilo thought he was just over reacting. Stitch then pointed behind her rapidly while whimpering in fear. Lilo carefully looked behind her just as a creepy clown's face with glowing green eyes poked out from behind the pillar. Lilo screamed and Stitch jumped 30 feet in the air, literally, before splashing into the pool.

Lilo called out for Stitch as she saw him struggling to keep his head above the water. The clown laughed evilly at her as it slowly walked up to her. Lilo turned around and climbed to the top of a broken pillar that was right behind her. She saw the diving board from where she was at and jumped to it, just as the clown swiped at her, breaking the pillar even more. Lilo bounced off of the diving board and grabbed onto a ledge in the wall. Spooky continued to laugh evilly when someone tapped its shoulder. It turned around just as Mark head-butted him with enough force to send him flying across the room. "Nobody harms my Ohana!" Mark shouted furiously at Spooky.

Spooky shook the pain out of his head and transformed into his original form. Spooky looked at Mark in confusion. He sensed that Mark was indeed afraid of something but couldn't transform into it for some reason. "Little girl! Six-two-six! Mark Car-person!" Jumba suddenly called out from the distance. Jumba's voice drew Mark's attention and the experiment slithered away when Mark wasn't looking. "Stitch! Help!" Lilo cried out. Mark snapped back to Lilo and then to where the experiment used to be and realized that Spooky had disappeared. Mark kicked an old plank of wood into the pool and Stitch grabbed onto it.

"Stitch, save Lilo. I need to make sure that Spooky doesn't try to harm anyone else." Mark commanded and explained to Stitch before running after the experiment, although he had no idea where Spooky was now. "Lilo?" Stitch questioned as he looked up to the ledge that Lilo was hanging off of. A piece of the ledge broke and now she was hanging on by just one had. "Help!" she shouted in a more frightened and desperate tone.

Meanwhile, Jumba and Pleakely were searching the house for Mark, Lilo, and Stitch. "You and your ridiculous slippers." Jumba muttered to Pleakely. Pleakely suddenly gasped and Jumba asked him, "What is it?" Pleakely took off his beret in respect and said, "I never thought I'd live to se…such craftsmanship!" Pleakely was talking about the ancient archway that separated the main room from the dining room. "They just don't make them like this anymore." Pleakely continued. Jumba rolled his eyes and explained to Pleakely, "this being no time to be admiring architecture, is time for to catch monster." Pleakely suddenly got upset and began to scold Jumba about having at least a slight appreciation for an antique doorway when an old woman's voice called out from somewhere in the room, "Pleakely, is that you?"

Pleakely looked in the direction the voice was coming from and saw as Spooky's version of his mother walked out of the shadows and asked in a stern voice, "How come you never call!" Pleakely suddenly cringed in fear and shouted in realization, "Mother!" Meanwhile, back at the pool, Lilo was still hanging helplessly from the ledge and Stitch was too frightened to move. Frightened of the water, frightened for Spooky, frightened that Lilo was going to fall to her death. Then Stitch remembered Lilo's coping method and decided to try it himself. "Aloha Oe…Aloha Oe." Stitch began to sing and he finally built up the courage to make his way over to the edge of the pool.

Stitch reached for the diving board; but it was just out of his reach and he accidentally fell in the water. He splashed in panic for a bit, but then calmed down and drifted to the bottom. He stood up and realized that he was fine. Just as long as he didn't try to breath under the water. "Aloha Oe, Aloha Oe." Stitch began to sing at its normal tempo now as he made his way out from under the pool and to the surface. Stitch made it just as Lilo finally lost her grip and fell. Stitch rushed over and caught her right on time. "Told you the song works." Lilo said to him cheerfully. They heard Pleakely scream and Lilo knew immediately who it was. At the same time, Mark also heard Pleakely scream and ran in the direction of his voice. Mark figured that it was probably just a spider, knowing Pleakely, but he couldn't afford to take that chance.

Spooky was scolding a crying Pleakely, "I give you the best years of my life and this is the thanks I get?" Jumba entered the room and said, "Oh no! Is Pleakely's worst fear." Jumba took a step forward, but then Spooky transformed again and turned to Jumba, who immediately backed away as if he was scared for his life. "Is MY worst fear: Ex-wife!" Jumba revealed in a frightened tone. "When you are getting a real job? Is not like you are help around house!" Spooky nagged Jumba. Mark arrived and pointed his cannon at Spooky, who just transformed back into his original form and glared at Mark. Jumba looked at Mark in a confused tone and asked, "Your worst fear is of experiment?" Mark kept his focus on Spooky and replied to Jumba, "No. He just can't transform into my worst fear." This explanation left Jumba even more confused.

Stitch suddenly arrived and tackled Spooky to the ground. Seeing that Stitch had concord his own fear, Mark lowered his weapon and decided to let Stitch handle it. Spooky transformed into his extended original form and quickly slithered into the dinging room. Stitch chased the experiment; keeping as close it as possible and breaking many chairs along the way. The experiment suddenly stopped and turned into this water-monster and roared fiercely at Stitch. Stitch just stuck out his chest bravely to show Spooky that he wasn't afraid of water so much anymore. Spooky then, quite suddenly, turned into a fierce tornado. Stitch just calmly checked his claws and said boringly, "Naga Verunda." Spooky had then transformed into a hideous monster with purple splotches, large dark-green claws, and several spines sticking from his back. Stitch just yawned, curled up, and pretended to sleep peacefully.

Spooky looked bewildered as he changed into is extended original form and looked at Stitch from above. Spooky then glared at Stitch when the little blue alien simply point his fist upward, while still in the sleeping position, and pulled off an uppercut. His incredible strength struck fear into Spooky himself. Spooky quickly, and fearfully, slithered under the door and into the living room. The only difference between the main room and the living room was that the living room had two ancient fireplaces to go with everything else. Spooky checked behind him to see if Stitch was following him. When he didn't see Stitch, he sighed in relief. Suddenly, Stitch swung through the door on a chandelier and knocked Spooky near the second fireplace.

Spooky tried to go for the other door as quickly as he could, but Stitch grabbed a hold of the large rug that lead to the doorway and whipped Spooky in the air, sending him flying in Stitch's direction. As he was flying through the air, Spooky noticed the fireplace and immediately transformed into a bat and attempted to make his escape through it. However, Stitch had other plans. Stitch climbed up the fireplace as fast as he could and obviously caught up with Spooky. After a short struggle, Stitch burst out from the fireplace with Spooky in his grip, struggling to get free.

"Here ya go, pal!" Mark called out to Stitch as he tossed him an experiment capsule. Stitch stuck Spooky under on of his arms, caught the capsule, and then shoved Spooky inside of it. Spooky glared at Stitch in his bat form, then transformed into his original form, and glared at Stitch again. Stitch laughed victoriously, Mark rewarded Stitch with his usual stroking the head, and Lilo congratulated Stitch on catching yet another experiment. "Yes, but how are we finding place it belongs? Is too scary." Jumba asked. Lilo and Mark then looked at each other, nodded, and then Lilo replied to Jumba, "Maybe, he's just scary enough."

Later, at the house, Nani was getting ready for bed when she heard people saying, "Trick or treat." She poked her head into the living room and noticed that the longest trick-or-treating line in the history of Halloween was leading to her house. "Lilo, what is going on here?" Nani asked Lilo, who innocently replied, "Halloween, watch." A kid dressed up as a ghost walked up and held out his bag when Spooky, who was standing behind Stitch, suddenly turned into a snake and hissed at him. The kid screamed and then laughed and replied, "I hate snakes!" Stitch had then put a few handfuls of candy in the kid's bag and said, "Ta-ta!"

The kid had then mentioned that the Pelekai house was the coolest place in the whole neighborhood. Lilo looked at Spooky, who stole a few pieces of candy and began eating them, and said, "Yeah. I know a year-round haunted house where you'll fit in just fine." Nani smiled at her sister's brilliance. "Eh, one thing confuses Jumba." Jumba suddenly said. "Mark, why Experiment 300 not able to transform into your worst fear?" Jumba asked Mark. They all looked at Mark in astonishment, Stitch and Spooky almost forgot about the many trick-or-treaters lined up at their house.

"Well, I guess the simplest explanation is that I'm not afraid of any THING or any BODY. However, I am afraid of an event that could possibly happen. My guess is that Spooky couldn't transform into my worst fear is because he can only transform into an object, animal, or person. He can't transform into an event." Mark explained as best as he could. They all just looked at him for a few seconds before his lengthy, yet completely logical, explanation sunk in.

"Oh…so, what IS being greatest fear for Mark?" Jumba asked him. "What? You expect me to tell you and ruin the surprise? No way! You'll all find out when the time comes." Mark answered. They all groaned in disappointment; they expected Mark to tell them right then and there. However, none of them would find out just yet that Mark's greatest fear was losing them. However, one day, they would.
