A Different Kind of Side Effect Story
The Underdogs
Chapter 1
The Parole Officer
Four years. Four years have past since Lilo became an experiment. Fours years since Gantu's ship was destroyed. Four years since Gantu and Hamsterville where sent to jail and in those four years much has changed about them.
Gantu became a wreck. He was always moping around in his cell. Always asking himself where his life went wrong and how on earth would he get his life back on track…if he could get it back on track. Though he thought no one was listening on all of this he was very mistaken. Though he put on a hard man act when anyone came to see him newly placed cameras in the cells with built in speakers told the parole board different. Right now they where looking further into his case. The only thing that kept him sane was the newspaper that was delivered to him everyday.
Hamsterville on the other hand had become more insane than he was already. All he could think about was how to get his revenge on the whole galaxy. He had managed to hide the strand of hair from the guards as they brought him back to prison. To the very cell that he was in before he broke out. Using all the supplies that he could get for his mini lab in the cell, he was able to unlock the secrets that the hair held. He found the secret of the virus that made Lilo ill. He found the secret to how the antidote work. But most importantly, to him, he found out how to make his own experiments…or even make himself an experiment. The problem was that he could not get any of the equipment or supplies that he needed to do so. During all the time that he was in prison he had not said one thing to Gantu, because he knew that Gantu would get parole a lot sooner than himself and as much as he hated to think it, let alone say it, he needed Gantu to get his plan working.
Gantu and Hamsterville where not the only things that have changed in the galaxy. The human race was becoming a space faring race of its own. They already had a colony of over 200 on the earths moon and where just starting another colony on the planet called mars. Where the human race got the technology of space flight and terraforming the galactic federation did not know…but they had a good suspicion. Ether way the human race still had to find the federation itself in order to become a part of the empire and estimations showed that it would still be a good few more decades until they do that. But the estimations also said that it should be another fifty to one hundred years before they had the technology to colonise other planets, so the human race was being studied and watched very very carefully. The federation had suspicions that Dr Jumba Jukeba gave the human race the technology of space flight, but the ships belonging to them looked nothing like the ones that the federation had. They where all different shapes, as you would imagine in a space fleet, but the main shape was a sort of triangle shape. The ships themselves seemed harmless enough and they where a lot smaller than standard federation cruisers, in formative's for the federation told them that the fleet was based on the ships from a movie series called "star wars". the in formatives said they could give them the series but the federation declined not interested in what they could do right now.
With everything going on in the galaxy you would be forgiven to forget about a small group of islands in the pacific ocean. Here on the island of Kauai we find a family that has been through trauma and hardship. But they also went through happiness, there family was halved a long time ago but now it has returned the people it lost and gained a pet. The extension to the family where not exactly what you would expect to find on this planet, that's because they where not from the planet. They where aliens. Illegal aliens that where exiled from the galactic federation, finding a home that needed them more than their own needs. Right now the aliens and the adopted family where at the beach enjoying the sun, sea and sand that the island gave.
"Nani can me and Stitch get a snow cone?"
Lilo asked her sister nicely,
"sorry Lilo but if I give you a snow cone now you wont eat your dinner"
Came the reply from her sister after she checked the time,
"oh but dinner is not for another hour and a half"
"no Lilo. I wont let you get one. Not until after dinner"
Came the reply once again,
"oh common Nani. One little snow cone wont spoil her dinner"
David said to Nani,
"you just want to stay on her good side. Oh all right. But only one and only a small"
Nani finally gave into the puppy dog eyes that her sister lay on her. Hearing this made Lilo smile and before Nani or David knew what had happened, Lilo had ran off with Stitch right on her tail.
"you know David I think Lilo will get over the shock that we gave her. Especially with all these small treats that you give her and Stitch. My fiancé"
Nani said before dragging David onto the warm sand for a passionate tough dance.
Lilo and Stitch had just reached the shave ice stand and where in the middle of getting themselves a cone each when Victoria sneaks up behind them and gives them a fright,
"hey Lilo, hey Stitch how's it going?"
"hey Victoria. Me and Stitch where just about to get a shave ice. Do you want one?"
"sure. I'll have a strawberry"
After getting there cones the group slowly walked back down to the beach. When they where in sight of the beach they all saw someone coming from the beach heading towards them. The person was wearing a green t-shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans, her orange hair now flowed downed her back. When they got a little closer that person saw Lilo and Victoria and a sorry expression crossed her face. The person was Myrtle,
"hi Lilo. Hi Victoria how are you two today?"
She asked them. In the four years that has past Myrtle and her friends all slowly developed like any other little girl, while Lilo and Victoria stayed the same. Lilo told Myrtle that it was because of all the stress and bullying that she had received over the years caused her to catch an illness that prevented from developing any more and Victoria told the same story. Myrtle did not believe it at first but when they both Lilo and Victoria gave her medical forms from the local doctor saying the same thing, she finally believed. Now she tried to be friends with them though she was a head taller than Lilo.
"were fine Myrtle how are you?"
"oh I'm good. I'm good. Listen Lilo I just want to say that I'm sorry for the way I treated you when we where lit…I mean younger, you too Victoria. If I had known that this would have happened I would not have said a word about how weird I thought you where"
"Myrtle for the last time we forgive you"
Victoria said sounding very board and annoyed about saying it,
"yeah Myrtle. that's like the millionth time you've said that your sorry. How much longer will it be before you stop saying that?"
"as always Lilo. At least one more time. Well I better be heading I've got to go and help my mum"
Myrtle said before she started to jog down the road waving good bye to her two new friends. Once Myrtle had rounded the corner Lilo, Stitch and Victoria all started to laughing,
"do you think that we should tell her that those letters where faked by Jumba and the reason that we are not developing is because we are now experiments?"
Lilo asked out loud,
"NAA"
They all said before they started to head back to the beach giggling all the way. When they got back to the beach they noticed that Nani and David where out surfing again. So Lilo decided that they should all go to their little hideout.
Going to the waters edge Lilo and Victoria turned off their holograms to reveal their true experiment forms, once the coast was clear of course. With her experiment form out in the open Lilo had no fear in using her abilities. Without even blinking an eye a force field bubble had surrounded Stitch and Victoria. She slowly moved the bubble into the water before diving in herself, though she still had to pull the sphere with her antennas, she was now able to hold her breath under water for more than a day, and was able swim faster than any Olympic swimmer in history so it did not take her long to reach the underwater cave. Pushing the bubble onto the ledge of the cave she disabled it allowing Stitch and Victoria access to the cave. They have slowly been exploring the cave and thanks to Victoria's sonar they found that it went a lot further into the ground than they previously expected. Turning on their night vision the group headed to the main part of the cave, where their was an opening as big as Lilo's living room. They already put an old couch that Victoria's family where throwing out in their little den and where in the process of talking Jumba into giving them a power source so that they did not haft to use their night vision. Somehow sitting on an old couch, in a dark cave deep underground seemed like loads of fun and before any of them knew what happened, Lilo's watch beeped telling her that it was time for her dinner. Getting back onto dry land, Lilo and Victoria turned their holograms back on before they separated to go back to their homes for dinner.
When Lilo and Stitch got home, they saw that Nani and David where already there sitting at the table waiting for Lilo and Stitch to arrive. Pleakly was over at the stove, his back turned to them, and Jumba was nowhere in sight.
"hey Nani, hey David. Do you where Jumba is?"
"last time I saw him he was in his ship. Could you go tell him it's dinner time"
Pleakly said over his shoulder to Lilo. She simply nodded her head before leaving the kitchen with Stitch to get Jumba for dinner. Sure enough Jumba was in his ship working on something on his computer.
"hey Jumba, what are you doing there?" Lilo asked her uncle,
"oh little girl. Am doing nothing. Nothing at all"
Jumba said too quickly to be telling the truth,
"Jumba are you making another experiment? You know that you are not allowed to make any more?"
"I can be promising you that I am not making genetic experiments. Can you be keeping very big secret?"
Lilo just nodded her head with a big smile, Stitch doing the same thing,
"to be truthful I am breaking galactic law by releasing scientific knowledge to the governments of this planet. It is being nothing major mind you. Just the missing pieces of technology that they needed to complete their fusion power plants, how to do terraforming and how to make effective ion drives for their spacecrafts. Galactic federation dose not allow meddling with planet affairs, but the scientists on this planet had them nearly figured out, so I thought that I would helped them with the final steps. How did you think that I got all that extra money? From winning sweepstakes?"
Jumba said to Lilo looking smug,
"well actually, Yeah. Everyone thought that the money you won was from a sweepstake that you entered. At least that is what you told us."
"well now you are knowing whole story. But please do not be telling anyone. Especially your big body guard friend or the grand council woman"
"no problem. I wont tell anyone. By the way its dinner time. that's the reason that me and Stitch are here. Better get moving before it gets cold"
Lilo said before turning to leave, Stitch following her.
"will be right behind you"
Jumba said before he looked into his computer screen once again,
'how can you be adapting to advance technology so quickly?'
He thought before closing his computer and leaving the lab to get something to eat.
Dinner was uneventful, like always, Lilo and Stitch sat beside each other for about three seconds before leaving the table, with their dinner safely in their stomachs. Nani and David ate theirs at a much slower pace, mixed with talking and feeding of each other. Pleakly talked to Jumba about how quickly the human race was developing the space technology that took all the other races thousands of years to create. Jumba really wasn't paying much attention, instead he was wondering about his question of the human race while he ate his dinner. After dinner Jumba went back to his ship to continue his work, Pleakly went to his bedroom to work on a new outfit that he was planning to wear tomorrow. Nani and David went into the living room to watch some telly. Lilo and Stitch had to go and take a bath by orders of Nani. This time they did not go to David since he agreed with Nani about the bath. Over the years Stitch began to actually enjoy taking baths with Lilo and Lilo being Lilo just enjoyed baths, but she always had more fun when the bath involved Stitch. So getting changed and removing the hologram they both entered the bath with a splash. The bath was filled with chatting between the two and a load of splashing of water brought Nani in to stop them having too much fun. After their bath they where busy drying themselves off when they heard Jumba calling them from downstairs. Still with wet fur they went to the landing to see Jumba standing there,
"little girl am having communication call from grand council woman for you. She says its important"
"well lets go see what she wants"
Lilo said before heading down the stairs towards the ship with Stitch following. When they got to the ship the grand council woman was still on the screen waiting for them,
"ah Lilo and 626 I hope I have not disturbed you. But I need to talk to you. Your reputation for changing peoples attitudes from bad to good has got me thinking. You do remember captain Gantu don't you"
Lilo simply nodded, but her face cringed,
"well he has been taking prison life rather, badly. So the parole board and myself thought it would be good for him to be reformed and since you have done such good work with the experiments and with Dr Jumba Jukeba we thought it of you"
"I don't know. Gantu was a big stinky head and he tried to harm me, my family and my friends"
"we have already thought of that. We where planning to get him his own accommodations and a shock collar so that if he did do anything bad you have the ability to correct him"
"so if he was to do anything bad I could shock him with the collar"
"that's correct. Also we are planning to pay you 1000 of your earth dollars each day and a bonus of 10,000 once you have fully reformed him. But until you can find him a suitable job you will need to pay for some of his necessities"
"well…ok we'll do it. So when will we expect to see him?"
"hopefully by the end of your earth week. But with the sudden increase in traffic in your solar system it might take a little longer. Now remember you are his parole officer so you are in charge of him, not the other way around and he will know this before he gets there."
"ok then well see you in a few days bye"
And with that the transmission ended. With the transmission over Lilo and Stitch returned to the house thinking about what they had just agreed to do, but there thoughts where cot short because as soon as they entered the house Nani told them that it was time for bed. Reluctantly agreeing with Nani, the two experiments went upstairs to there bedroom to get some sleep.
On the other side of the galaxy the grand council woman was just confirming with the parole board the plans for what Gantu would be doing on earth,
"so this, Lilo. I assume she is good or you would not be recommending her"
The head of the parole board said (I am using the guy that talked to Hamsterville in the skip episode where Lilo skips ten years into the future),
"she is indeed a very good. She has managed to reform Dr Jumba Jukeba, experiment 626 and all of Jumba's other experiments"
"my that is very impressive I must say and you say that she lives on the planet earth. So if Gantu dose go rouge again there will be no way for him to get to us will he"
"well that is not entirely accurate, You see Dr Jukeba still has his ship but the hyper drive system on it dose not work on it"
"so if he dose go rouge it would take him weeks, if not months for him to get here. I suppose that will do"
"that's correct but if he dose go rouge Lilo and 626 will be there to stop him if that happens. So are we agreed then?"
"yes we are. Gantu will be sent to this earth to start his reforming and this Lilo person will be his parole officer. I will tell him at once"
"you won't mention his parole officer will you?"
"that is the policy normally. They don't find out where they are going or who there parole officer is until they get there. But I can make an exception if you want"
"no that is not necessary"
And with that said he left the meeting room to tell Gantu what was happening with him. Over in his prison cell Gantu was reading the paper when he got the news from that monitor that the parole board uses. Though he appeared not very caring, inside he was thrilled,
'finally. This is my chance to turn my life around. I don't care where I go, anywhere is better than this. Just as long as I never see a trog again I will be fine.'
On the other side of the prison Hamsterville was spying on Gantu thanks to the security system all over the prison,
"ah my suspicions where correct. That stupid fish faced nincompoop is getting parole. Now with him out of jail my plan can come into action. I wonder if his only part in it is simple enough for him? It better be. An earth child would be able to achieve it"
Hamsterville said to himself before he pushed some buttons on the keyboard under his monitor, releasing a robot smaller than a fly. It escaped through a small hold of his cell and flew off to Gantu's cell. It carved a hole in the glass of Gantu's cell smaller than the width of a grain of rice before flying through it and landing on Gantu. It buried itself into Gantu skin and was now waiting patiently for Gantu to arrive on the planet where he was destined to do community service. Thanks to the size of Gantu and the smallness of the robot, the only thing that Gantu felt was a slight itch. The robot sent a message to its master saying that phase 1 was complete,
"excellent. Now all I have to do is wait for Gantu to get out into the open"
Hamsterville said to himself before he started laughing his little head off. Over in the cell next to him a mountain of an alien just covered his ears with his giant hands,
"I thought he had stopped that"
He moaned to himself as he tried to block out the annoying noise.
