Chapter 5 - Getting a New Family

Harry forcefully, against the shelter worker's grip, walks himself forward to get to Lilo who was being held in the arms of Lilo's older sister as Lilo called him to her. Harry approaches with a snarl and a hiss, climbing up Nani's legs to get to Lilo. The shelter worker finally managed to get Harry off Lilo and the older sister. 'Wouldn't you like a different dog?' the Older Sister asked.

'We have better dogs, dear.' The Shelter Worker said a bit breathlessly.

'Not better than him! He can talk. Say hello.' Lilo asked Harry.

'He... Hel...' Harry tried to finish the sentence when the shelter worker interrupted, shaking her head in disagreement. 'Dogs can't talk, dear.' The Shelter Worker stated firmly.

Harry narrows his eyes and bares his teeth in frustration, while Lilo says 'He did.'

'Does it have to be this dog?' the older sister asks Lilo. Harry pants a few times before lolling his tongue out, sticking it up his nose and pulling out a big green booger, eating it, smacking his lips.

'Yes. He's good. I can tell.' Lilo replied to the older sister.

 

Shelter Worker starts filling out the paperwork at the front desk asks. 'You'll have to think of a name for him.'

'His name is... Stitch.' Lilo replies to which the shelter worker states 'That's not a real name.' but the older sister shakes her head quickly and waves her hand as if saying 'No! Don't say that!', '...in... Iceland. But here it's a good name. Stitch, it is. And there's a $2.00 license fee.' Continued the shelter worker. Just as the older sister was about to pay Lilo demanded 'I want to buy him!', Lilo whispers to the older sister 'Can I borrow $2?'

The older sister with a semi-irritated look, takes the money from the shelter worker and hands it to Lilo. Lilo then taps the money on her shoulder and hands it back to her, handing it to the shelter worker.

The Shelter Worker stamps the adoption papers and hands the paper to Lilo with a friendly smile. 'He's all yours.' The shelter worker said.

Harry or now named Stitch listens to the environment to zero in on Jumba opening the door to go outside.

'Well, what's he doing?' said a voice of someone Stich didn't know.

'Shh! Keep quiet. He's listening for us.' Jumba states to the other Alien.

'How good is his hearing? I mean, can he…' the other Alien asks as Jumba starts strangling him.

'Why don't you run?' Jumba asks

Stitch barks like a real dog, getting Lilo's attention as a red laser dot appears on his chest.

'Coming! I'm coming!' Lilo states to Stich. Lilo comes rushing over hugging Stich.

The laser dot is on her now, Jumba pulls the trigger but the other Alien pushes the weapon up managing to make the shot go wide.

'STOP!!! I have just determined this situation to be far too hazardous!' The other alien said to Jumba.

'Don't worry, I won't hit her.' Jumba replies.

'No! That girl is a part of the mosquito food chain. Here! Educate yourself.' The other Alien states plugging the blaster with a green finger. He gives a device to Jumba.

'Using a little girl for a shield.' Jumba raging like a maniac, shouts while shaking his fist at Stitch, 'THIS IS LOW, EVEN FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!'

Stitch swishing his backside, 'Whoo-hoo!' Stitch laughed.

'Bah!' Jumba shouted as pushes the other Alien out the way while he starts running down the hillside, 'Tear him apart with both my bare hands!' Jumba decreed.

The other Alien chasing after him yells 'Have you lost your mind?!

'What is it, Stitch?' Lilo asks as Stitch barks at the hillside just as the other alien shouts 'We cannot be seen!' while dragging Jumba into a bush.

'Bad dog, barking at nothing!' Shelter Worker said crossly to Stich squirting him with water.
