Lilo awoke the next day, stretching. "Good morning Stitch." She yawned. When she opened her eyes she noticed he was still asleep.
She stretched one last time and crept downstairs for breakfast. She quietly poured her cereal into a bowl. It was too quiet for her comfort as she listened to herself chew.
She heard a large truck outside. She dropped her spoon in her bowl. "Another new neighbor?" she yelled a little louder than she intended. She quickly ran to the phone, dialing up her best friend, Victoria. "Hello? Hey Victoria guess what? . . . I don't care what time it is just guess! . . . no, we have a new neighbor! A rich guy too! Their living in the old mansion!" Lilo was jumping up with excitement. "Uh huh, meet you there to great them in an hour!"
She gently hung up the phone and ran up the stairs. 'I hope they have a child my age, that isn't like Mertle.'
She crept toward the sleeping Stitch. "Get ready," she whispered, "cause I'm gonna JUMP!" As she said those last words she playfully landed on Stitch. He woke up with a start.
"What? Who? Oh Lilo!" He playfully tossed her onto her own bed.
"Wee! Do it again Stitch!" she cried still bouncing. Stitch was about to toss her up again when she said with a start, "Oh yeah, I forgot. I have to get dressed." She jumped of the bed and skipped to her dresser. She put on her normal outfit.
"I'm going to greet the new neighbors with Stitch and Victoria!" Lilo called to Nani on her way out.
"What? Lilo! Make sure a guardian is with you!" Nani called back, but Lilo didn't hear, she was already out the door with Stitch.
"Meega patooa!" Stitch growled as he scratched his collar.
"Stitch, you have to wear that collar and leash. It's the law." Lilo said, "Put on your dog act, here comes Victoria." she quickly whispered. Stitch immediately got into a dog stance.
"Hey Lilo! You ready?" Victoria called as she waved her hand.
"You bet! Look out world, we're gonna' make a new friend!" Lilo shouted.
"Or enemy." Victoria added.
"Well you can't blame me for hoping." Lilo replied as they entered the lawn.
"Wow." Was the only word that escaped their lips. In front of them was a beautiful mansion. It was a pretty pale yellow, on every window roses were hanging. They stared in awe.
They approached the door. "You think they'll be snobs?" Victoria asked.
"Don't worry. If they are we'll send mummies after them!" Victoria giggled.
They rang the doorbell.
"Why hello!" welcomed a nice looking woman. She really did look nice. She was wearing cacky shorts and a purple flowered shirt that was the same print as Lilo's dress. Her blonde hair hang down to her shoulders. Her sky blue eyes were filled with kindness. One could tell just by looking at her she was nice. "You must be our new neighbors. I'm Mrs. Colman. What are your names?" she asked holding out a hand.
"I'm Lilo, Aloha!" Lilo introduced.
"And I'm Victoria. Here are some necklaces." She added, holding out flowered necklaces (I forget what they're called).
