Stitch Meets the Ninja Turtles

Chapter 13

Before April was finished making his coffee, Stitch stood up on twos, and walked up to Leo, since he was the leader.

"Leo?"

Leo was sitting down on the couch. "Hm?" He was finishing up eating a sandwich too.

"Stitch have idea. You and family come with Stitch to Hawaii."

Everyone jumped at that.

"What?"

"Bad guys here. Too many, you say. Your family be safer in Hawaii." Stitch proposed again.

The turtles all looked at each other.

"What makes you think we'd be safer there?" Don asked.

"Stitch's cousins all different looking, and they help town in different ways. They welcome." Stitch said.

A light went off in the four boys' heads. Would they be welcomed there? But then, the evil in this town, the Shredder's forces, had to be stopped.

"It's a nice offer Stitch, but I don't know." Leo said. "Our whole lives are here. Our home, our friends."

"And the Shredder has to be stopped!" Raph added.

"Yeah, but guys, look at it this way. The Shredder only does the things he does because he's trying to get rid of us!" Mikey said.

"And he wants to betray the Utroms!" Leo said.

"You say Shredder is Utrom? Why he want to hurt them?" Stitch asked.

"He doesn't like his own kind Stitch." Don said. "He's the only evil one. And he's a big criminal in the galaxy."

"Stitch been in space before. Love it! Where I come from. Planet Turo."

"He's also not an opponent to take lightly. His army of Foot ninjas are nearly invincible all together." Leo said.

"Stitch's cousins could help. We once have to fight Hamsterviel and army of Leroys." The alien said.

"What?" Raph asked.

"Evil space gerbil, Hamsterviel. He want rule galaxy. He try to capture cousins. He made army of cousins called Leroy." Stitch explained as best he could. "They hard to beat too. Biggest fight for Stitch and cousins."

April and the turtles listened intently. So Stitch had nearly faced a lot of things that they had faced too. Many fighting experiences. It would be good to have Stitch on their side.

Soon, the coffee was done, and Don went to help himself to some. When he had a cup, Stitch noticed it.

"Can Stitch have some?"

"Not mine, but I'm sure April wouldn't mind if you did." Don said. He went back to sipping it.

"Lilo not like Stitch having coffee."

"Why's that?" Mikey asked.

"Stitch love coffee so much, get hyper."

When they heard that, April said, "Then perhaps you better not. I don't need to fix up my apartment again."

"If Stitch get crazy, Jumba repair house at home at the time."

"We have Don for that." Mikey said, giggling.

"Yeah, and I fix up enough of your things that get broken as it is!" Don snapped. "I don't think I need to be fixing up the whole lair too. Or April's for that matter."

It was clear that Stitch was better off going home, but to take Stitch up on his offer, it was tempting. Though it might not be so bad to not have to fight all the time, to have a more relaxing life, Leo knew that he would have to really, REALLY sit down and talk to Master Splinter about this. But first, he wanted to see what Stitch's 'owner' had to say about him, or a life to offer over there.

.....

A little over an hour later, they were all talking and telling stories to Stitch, and Stitch telling his stories in his best, but broken English. So they all found out that they had similar war stories.

The phone finally rang. April picked up, "Hello?"

"This is Lilo, Stitch's owner."

"Its his owner." April put a hand over the speaker. The turtles all nodded. She went back to talking.

"So when are you going to come pick up your dog?"

"We have our own flight ready, and should be there in just a little bit. Just calling to let you know that everything is ready now." Lilo said. "And we'll call again when we get there. But where's the best place to land?"

"The best place to land would be at the airport." April said.

"No. We're flying a spaceship. We need a secret place to land." Lilo said.

"Central Park in the middle of the city is a nice secret place."

"Ok. Central Park it is." Lilo said.

"Ok, thank you. Just be careful when you land and start walking around. New York City people around you could be dangerous. Are you coming alone?"

"No. I'm just a little girl. My aunt and uncle are coming with me." Lilo said.

"Yeah, you do sound like a little kid to me. Some friends of mine will greet you when you get here. What does this space ship look like?"

"Its big and red and white. Couldn't miss it."

"Ok. Thank you." April said.

"Bye." Lilo said. "Got to get going if we're going to get there soon."

"Goodbye." April said.

"We were kind of hoping to talk to her, April." Leo said.

"I'm sure you can talk to her all you want when she gets here. She said that they were on their way." April said.

"They?" Don asked.

"A little girl and her aunt and uncle were coming. I told her that you guys would greet her in Central Park. You just have to look for a big, red spaceship." April said.

"Spaceship?" Raph asked.

"Jumba's spaceship!" Stitch said happily. "Love fly it home!"

"If he lets you." Don added.

"Well, thanks for lunch April. But if we are to prepare for this spaceship's arrival, we should go home and get Stitch ready too."

The turtles were living strictly beneath Central Park right now. Nearly under Belvedere Castle.
