Video - Lilo Has a New Toy

[andstitch]

"Whoa! This is so cool!"

[The kid has the screen right up to her eye then pulls it back to a more normal distance.]

"I could film all sorts of cool things with this! Like space mummy vampires from Mars! But first I'm gonna need some actors. Oh! I wonder if this thing can call Jumba! Then he can make me all sorts of new actors!"

[Someone was bouncing like she'd had too much sugar.]

"His name is Gantu. He tries to collect the 'Speriments to send them to Hamsterwheel" somewhere in space a small rodent is screaming "to use them for evil."

[3wingedangel]

"... Hamsterwheel?"

Now he was picturing a giant hamster wheel.

[andstitch]

"Yeah, he's an evil space gerbil."

[3wingedangel]

Well, that wasn’t what Sephiroth had expected.

“… I see.”

What a strange world. It could be the girl’s vivid imagination, but he’d seen enough strange things to know not to automatically discount this.

“And is Hamsterwheel his home?”

[andstitch]

She was so confused now. "Is the evil gerbil" so much yelling somewhere off in space "who's home?"

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth had no idea what that meant.

"... Perhaps I misunderstood," he said. "I thought Gantu was an evil gerbil living in a place called Hamsterwheel."

[andstitch]

Lilo laughed. "No, Gantu is a big dummy space alien who works for an evil gerbil named Hamsterwheel. Well... Actually Gantu doesn't work for him any more. At least I don't think so. He became a captain again when my dog decided he didn't want the BRB anymore."

[3wingedangel]

"... Ah. The BRB?"

What a bizarre story.

[andstitch]

"Yep, the Big Red Battleship! My dog was made captain for being a hero an all, but in th nd he decided his place was with his Ohana."

[3wingedangel]

"You have a very interesting dog."

He was mostly playing along with that. If Stitch was who he remembered, that wasn't any dog.

[andstitch]

"Yes, he's good."

[3wingedangel]

"How long have you known him?"

[andstitch]

"For ever. Three whole years! Well maybe two. I don't know, since we got him at the pound. He's an orphan. Just like us," she said, nodding. "But now he's got an ohana. Us!"

[3wingedangel]

"'Us'"? he repeated. "Who else is normally with you?"

[andstitch]

"Like me and Nani. Though now we have an aunt Pleakley and an Uncle Jumba."

[3wingedangel]

"I see. Nani is your sister?" He wondered if she would end up here as well. Or if she was already here and looking.

[andstitch]

"Uh huh!" she said, nodding.

[3wingedangel]

"Have you been here long?" He wondered how familiar she was with the area.

[andstitch]

"Nope! That's why we have to explore!"

[3wingedangel]

"What kinds of things does your family enjoy?" he asked, wondering where they should look in case Stitch or Nani or the others might be there.

[andstitch]

"Ice cream. Ice cream is good," she said, nodding.

[3wingedangel]

"You think they would go to an ice cream parlor?" He was amused, and not at all sure she wasn't just saying that because she wanted ice cream.

[andstitch]

Bingo. "We should check. Just to be sure. Then the candy store."

[3wingedangel]

"Hm. If they are there, perhaps they're looking for you because they know those are favorite spots of yours?" he says.

[andstitch]

"Oh! Good idea! Then we should go to the movies also!"
