"See, I told you it'd be easy. We're on the last book," Belle said, putting another book back on the shelf.

Adam shrugged. "You made it a lot more fun."

Belle blushed. Her and Adam hadn't really talked about the kiss since it happened, and Belle thought something had definitely happened between him and Gaston, because she could see the tension was there.

"Okay. Well this is one of my favourites, Alakazam."

Adam nodded. "Okay. Um, I can read this one by myself if you want, you must be tired of reading to me by this point."

Belle wasn't, but for some reason she felt things were awkward, and that wasn't her fault. Adam decided to kiss her! And if she had rejected him it would've been worse, he's a prince, after all!

"Adam...did Gaston say anything to you?" Belle asked.

Adam snorted. "He said many things to me."

"Well...please don't let anything he says bother you. Unless you regret kissing me, which I totally understand."

"No! I don't...regret that it's just, I didn't think. I forgot about Gaston."

"Gaston doesn't own me, and it's about time he realized that. He can fall off a roof for all I care," Belle muttered.

Adam laughed. "Yeah, he doesn't. I'm sorry Belle."

"Don't worry about it."

Fawn had returned with a motor, and Hercules and Megara were working together trying to replace the old one.

While they were doing that, Kida decided to talk to Milo.

"Milo?"

"Oh. Hi Kida," Milo stuttered.

Kida ignored the stuttering. "Megara told me that if I need volunteer hours, I should come to you. Do you know any places..?"

"Yes! I mean—yes. Uh, the Centre where I help out, we could use an extra hand. They'll give you hours for that."

Kids wrapped him up in a hug. "Really? Thank you Milo, you're a lifesaver!"

"Uh..." Milo pushed his glasses back up his nose and smiled. "You're welcome."

"Lily, I need to tell you something," Lilo said.

Tiger Lily finished brushing her hair and proceeded to braid it.

Lilo had hidden Stitch for the past week, because if Tiger Lily knew he was the reason for her pillow and tribe dress, there would be problems.

Lilo has replaced Tiger Lily's pillow before she had noticed, and stuffed her tribe dress in her own closet so Lily wouldn't see. She never needed it unless she went to Neverland anyway, and that wouldn't be for a while.

"What is it Lilo?"

"Uh, about a week ago, I got an animal from the animal centre. The one Milo works at."

Tiger Lily looked around. "Where is it?"

"I've been taking it out daily and tiring it out so it can sleep in my closet. I think it's a dog."

"You think?"

Lilo shrugged and pulled Stitch out of her closet, which woke him up.

"Lilo, that's a weird looking dog."

"I know, I know! I actually don't think it is. It talks."

Tiger Lily raised a brow.

"I'm serious! Stitch, what numbers were you telling me about the other day?"

Stitch glanced at Lily, then Lilo, then tried to bite the end of her bed.

"Stop that!" Lilo pulled him away and dropped him on the floor. "You told me six two one, right?"

"Six two six," Stitch corrected, and Tiger Lily screamed.

"Loud, loud!" Stitch tried to run for the door but Lilo scooped him up again.

Tiger Lily clutched her brush in her hand, staring at Stitch.

"And...he also did this to your tribe dress."

Lilo brought the dress out of her closet and showed it to her roommate. She looked funny, with one braid done neatly and the rest of her hair flying around.

"My Mother is going to kill me. Lilo, what is that thing!"

"He likes burgers! He's very calm after those how do you think I hid him from you all these days?"

Tiger Lily paced around their room, trying to breathe.

"Okay, I'm heading to the library," she said.

"Vanellope...look at the tips of your hair!"

Candlehead pointed at Vanellope's hair, and it seemed to be fading.

Vanellope ran to the closest mirror. Her hair seemed to be glitching, but not the rest of her body.

Jubileena wore a confused expression on her face. "I thought you stopped glitching a while ago."

Vanellope touched her ends. "You and me both."

This had only happened once before, where part of her started glitching, but not everywhere. She thought maybe...but no, it couldn't be.

That would mean he's back.

"Okay everyone we're back on track, this has unfortunately wasted a day, but we were just supposed to get settled into the campground today anyway, so don't worry about it!"

Jane shook her head as Timon spoke. "All I'm worried about is landing in another place again."

"Well Kida's flying the plane now, so everything should be fine," Milo told her.

"I don't think anyone on this plane has a plane license." Charlotte laughed.

"If I have to eat anymore peanuts I might become an elephant," Naveen whined.

"That's not how it works Naveen, but I get it." Tiana got up and made her way to the back of the plane. "There must be some other food on this plane."

Megara saw her searching. "I wouldn't count on it."

"We should've bought something in Pennsylvania," Zander said to James.

James nodded. "I bought a bag of chips, but that's a last resort you know?"

"I can't believe I'm saying this but...I kinda wish I was back in class."

"Wow Alice, you must really hate this." Isabel giggled.

"Hate is a strong word."

Pumbaa tried to calm everyone down. "Now don't worry, we're on our way! Kida is probably better than me, and I landed us safely in Pennsylvania! So we'll get to Africa in no time!"

"You landed us near a major road," Fawn reminded him.

"I wouldn't say major..."

Andy nodded in agreement with Fawn. "No, it was a pretty major road."

"The past is the past!"

"The past was thirty minutes ago, Mr. Timon! Now I'm going to get some sleep, and hopefully we'll be in Africa by the time I wake up!"

"Wendy it's Timon."

Yo guys I finally found out the difference between Center and centre. A centre is a type of place, so it'd be Animal Centre not Center. So I'll be correcting that from now on so I don't see the point of going back. Center is actually the middle of something.
