 "Hey!" Stitch exclaims. "Hm? That's the last of the repairs? Then let's bring it out into the open!" Lilia exclaims. "Wow. So this is it..." Floyd says in awe.

***Deserted Island - Shore***

C.C. POV:

"A spaceship! It looks so cool!" Bubba exclaims. "Can that big hunk of metal really fly all the way up to space...? From sea to land, from land to air, and now outta the atmosphere? That's so rad." Floyd says. "Is everyone ready to board?" Appa asks. "I certainly am. I've retrieved all the unusual objects I found here." Azul says. "That's what you were doing while the rest of us were helping Stitch?" Ace asks. "Right... Those long days surviving in the wild are finally coming to an end." Riddle says.

"It was less survivin' in the wild and more vacationing at a resort, if you ask me. Shame that it's over. I coulda gone for doin' way more here. Not to mention all the fun stuff I wanted to do with Stitch...Hey, Stitch. You sure you don't wanna come with us to Night Raven College? You'd really liven the place up." Floyd says. "Ohana!" Stitch exclaims. "There's that word again. What's the deal there?" Floyd asks. "I believe "ohana" refers to loved ones like family members." Appa says. "Yeah, Ohana means family." I say, earning a nod in agreement from Stitch. "Ooh, I getcha. So you've got family waitin' for you somewhere." Floyd says as Stitch hugs Appa.

"You should go back to your loved ones, Stitch. And we'll be going back to our own ohana! Oho?" Appa asks before Stitch goes over to hug Floyd. "What's up?" Floyd asks as Stitch hugs him. "He's climbing up on their shoulders and hugging his arms around their necks." Riddle observes. "Guess our two chaotic upperclassman really hit it off with Stitch." Ace says as Stitch looks over at them. "What's this? Could you give the rest of us hugs as well?" Riddle asks as Stitch nods and goes to hug the rest of them.

"Ow! Geez, you're a strong little guy. You really came through for us, buddy." Ace says as he gets his hug. "Watch it! Not so tight. You don't have to get all sad about it. I'm sure we'll run into each other again eventually." Jack says as he gets his hug. "If you ever do visit our school, I'd be delighted to host you. I still owe you a great deal." Azul says as he gets his hug. "I'm gonna miss you." Bubba says to Stitch. "That's enough mopin' outta you, Stitch. Aren't you supposed to be all scary?" Grim asks, Stitch stays silent and hugs him. "Yeah, yeah, I know." Floyd says.

"*sniffle* Goodness, it's so easy to get all teary-eyed at my age. As sad as it will be to part ways, some encounters are once-in-a-lifetime. That said, we might yet meet again if fortune allows. Now, I believe it's time for takeoff!" Appa exclaims as Stitch finishes giving out hugs. "Yeah!" everyone exclaims.

***Amidst The Clouds***

"We're truly flying! And higher and faster than flight magic would allow for... The island's growing more distant by the second!" Riddle exclaims. "Okay, but, dude... This ship is CRAMPED. We're squished in like sardines." Floyd says while I cuddle into Bubba. "A small ship like this was probably never meant to carry this many passengers. But I'm sure Stitch will give us a pleasant flight." Appa says. "WAIT!" a distant voice calls out. "Hm? Hey, that was...Oh, geez. Guys, below us!" Ace exclaims.

"It's Gantu... He's giving chase on one of the flying surfboards we left!" Riddle exclaims. "He's way too big for that tiny board! He can barely stay standing on it." Jack says. "I have to capture 626 and deliver results to the brass... Failure is not an option!" I hear Gantu exclaim. "That must be some scary boss he has to answer to. I can kinda relate..." Ace mutters. "Yo, Stitch. Can you shake him?" Floyd says. "Mrrraaahhh... It's like bein' tumbled around in a washin' machine...!" Grim exclaims as Stitch starts shaking Gantu off our trail.

"That was an abrupt acceleration. Are we about to warp or something?" Azul asks. "An alert? What now?" Jack asks in return. "This is the Galactic Federation. Abort hyperdrive immediately. This is the Galactic Federation..." the radio announces. "We gotta deal with MORE weirdos?!" Ace exclaims. "Augh... It's just one absurd thing after another when we're with Stitch!" Riddle exclaims. "Ahaha! He's keeping us entertained to the very last, isn't he?" Appa asks happily. "All this turbulence, all these thrills... Stitch, you really do rule! Okay Stitch, floor it. Let's blow past Gantu AND this Galactic-whatsis." Floyd says. "Mm. Get them all off your tail and go home to your family—your ohana!" Appa exclaims. "ALOOOHAAA!" Stitch exclaims as we enter hyperdrive.

 "ALOOOHAAA!" Stitch exclaims as we enter hyperdrive
