Kaua'i Airport
Reuben waddled around the terminal, poking his head in different shops. He'd gotten some time off from his service in the Federation Military, and he was eager to visit the Pelekais and his cousins Well, the ones capable of speech, at least. Especially Bonnie.
Pleakley had told him Lilo and Stitch were shopping at the airport with friends, but he couldn't say which store. Reuben thought that Nani should let Lilo get a mobile phone. It wasn't so bad to just wander around the old place, though. The airport had a quaint, homey charm, not to mention Joe's Subs.
Reuben's vision was sharper than he let on, s
About five in the evening
Outside the Membrane/Putchel house
Jumba and Pleakley filled Lilo in on everything that happened with Dib, and so Lilo decided to return to his house for damage control. She persuaded Stitch to stay home without much difficulty, since her pretext for going to Dib's house was to help unpack. Stitch behaved much better than he used to, but he still got bored easily, and Lilo didn't want him to make a mess or chew on left shoes. She didn't want to unpack either, but she remembered the advice Nani had given her when she was little: if you want friends, you have to be a good friend.
A few seconds after Lilo rang the do
He's not evil on the outside, just deep down in his soul.

Just after 11:00 am
Dib felt kind of overwhelmed by all the new aliens, and he'd only seen two dozen of the 630 experiments so far. He needed to focus on one alien at a time to keep his head from spinning too fast. Dr. Jookiba, who had created all the genetic experiments and collaborated with Irkens, was the obvious one to watch.
Lilo, though Dib wasn't sure what to make of her. She was nice. And not in a creepy way like Keef. Lilo actually listened to him, and she liked monster movies and mummies. She and Stitch had even fought an evil alien, although Gantu sounded dumb
Hello. We come in peace to blow up your home.

Sometime after nine
Membrane's house
Dib peered out the livingroom window at the creature in the driveway. It was unlike anything from his world, so he reasoned it was either a monster from another dimension or a space alien. He hoped it was the latter. Alternate dimensions tended to fuel his nightmares.
A movement caught his eye, and he saw Lilo waving at him. Oops. He backed away from the window. What he wouldn't give for curtains. He paced the empty room, hearing the movers talk about removing the couch's legs, but not paying attention. Lilo had showed him where she and Stitch lived

Pelekai household
"Good luck on your interview with Professor Membrane today," said Nani as she picked up her backpack, getting ready to walk to work.
Jumba shrugged. "Is a formality." He stuck his meaty hand into the box of donuts. "Professor told me on the phone that I have the most impressive résumé he's seen besides his own. And I left out half my PhDs," he added with a touch of smugness.
Nani hitched up her backpack. "It's a good thing you took my advice, or else your résumé would be 20 pages long. No one would believe you earned ten PhDs anyway, and you don't want to show up your boss." Nan
