From Kaua'i to Paixao [Active]

Character(s): Lilo Pelekai, Stitch, Mickey Mouse
Content: A seven-year-old Hawaiian girl arrives in Paixao
Setting: Joutenheim Gate
Time: Afternoon
Warnings:

Kaua'i. That was home, with it's tropical plants and crashing ocean waves and of course, its plethora of aliens, all of whom were cousins of Stitch. This place... this place was the result of a wrong turn. It had to be, because everything here wasn't right. It didn't feel... Hawaii enough. And what was with the gate? It was weird, and if anyone knew weird, it was Lilo.

Looking around, the seven-year-old made her way toward the gate, and the little kiosk that seemed to be sitting beside it, shifting the backpack with her hula gear so that it was a little easier on her back.

"Excuse me? Hello...?" A bright, cheerful, and definitely not Hawaiian face met her inquiry, with an equally bright and cheerful, "Hello! Welcome to Paixao!"

Lilo took a step back. This lady was weird, too... At least she had answered what would have been Lilo's first question--where was she? Any thoughts of other questions were pushed aside as she was handed what appeared to be a laptop, with a blue hawaiian print to it, and a bunch of brochures.

"You'll need these for your stay," the woman declared, smiling entirely too eagerly. "Now, what's your name, dear?"

"Lilo."

"Alright then, Lilo. Enjoy your stay." The woman directed her to the gate, and Lilo headed inside, seeking out a bench to sit down on and figure out what was going on as best she could.

Stitch jumped off the top of the train that he had been clinging to, holding his journal thing in his mouth. Looking around, he saw bunches and bunches of people wandering around in the gate area...but none of them were the girl he was looking for. Getting frustrated for a moment, he found a random light pole and climbed to the top of it and looked around.

There! On the Bench! He thought when he saw a familiar red patterned dress on a girl sitting on a bench. Scrambling back down, he ran over to said bench, then jumped up beside her.

"Lilo! You really are here!"

There were so many people talking to her on the laptop, and most of them seemed to be very nice people. And Stitch! Stitch was here and had found her on the laptop, too! And oh! He was coming to meet her. It was so good to know that she wasn't going to be alone here. Maybe Nani wouldn't be so upset when they got home now...

The seven-year-old closed the laptop and set it aside, then threw her arms around Stitch's neck as he joined her on the bench.

"Stitch! I'm so glad you're here too!"

It sure was strange to have found himself in a city he'd never seen, with no idea at all how he'd gotten here. Weird things had happened to Mickey before but this definitely had to be one of the weirdest. Before he knew it he'd been shuffled through a huge, elaborate gate into a district apparently called "Joutenheim" with some brochures about the newly-discovered world--Paixao, it was apparently called--and a little computer which, according to the people at the gate, was an electronic journal of sorts.

Mickey clutched the items in white-gloved hands as he stared around in mingled bewilderment and curiosity at the old-fashioned looking city, its fantastic spires and columns and domes, not to mention the people--many of them pale-haired but others as diverse as the crowds you'd see in a place like Traverse Town. He was wearing the black coat that resembled the Organization's over his normal clothes, but he pushed back the hood to get a good look at what seemed to be a huge glass dome high above the whole city.

"Oh boy," Mickey said aloud, standing to one side of the street near a bench so as not to be in anyone's way. "I better find someone who can tell me how I got here. Not to mention how to get off."

Stitch hugged his best friend back when she did. He was really glad to have found her, even if it did mean leaving his new friends behind. He had a feeling he would find them later, and they could even met Lilo!

Letting go of Lilo and sitting back on the bench, his ears twitched as he heard an unfamiliar voice saying something about the city. Looking over, he saw a mouse wearing a black overcoat who was looking up at the dome.

"You can't get off." He said. "We're all stuck here." He twitched his ears again.

Lilo followed Stitch's gaze, giving the cloak wearing mouse a strange look. Since when were mice that big...? And why was he wearing a cloak? It seemed... strange, but that was probably why she was considering it to be perfectly okay.

"Stuck here?" Lilo repeated questioningly, eyes widening. "We're stuck here???" She frowned. "Nani's going to be so mad..."

Hearing the new voices, Mickey glanced over toward the bench, where a young human girl and another kind of creature--Mickey had never seen anything quite like him before, though he looked a bit like a koala bear were sitting together. The girl was giving him a very odd look--most humans, Mickey had found, were less used to seeing walking and talking animals like him than other animals were--and he smiled at her reassuringly.

"Stuck here, huh?" Mickey echoed as well, scratching one of his huge round ears--a habit when he was perplexed. "That's what I was hopin' not to hear...I'm Mickey, by the way," he added, extending a hand for either one of them to shake. "'Scuse my ignorance, I'm afraid I just got here."

"Yeah, stuck here." Stitch said to both Lilo and Mickey, extending a paw towards the newcomer. "I've been here for a while, and besides people disappearing, there doesn't seem to be a way out." He said, now looking between the two of them, trying to decide how to explain this strange place to them, his ears falling to lay on his head as he did so.

"Didn't you notice that I was missing Lilo? I've been here for almost nine months." He asked, wondering why she hadn't seemed mad before.

Lilo was mildly surprised at the fact that Mickey spoke, though it fadedly quickly under the justification of the number of Stitch's cousins she had helped and met. And she wasn't really a good judge of weirdness, anyway, given how much she liked the things that were strange and out of the ordinary.

"My name is Lilo and he's Stitch," Lilo informed Mickey before looking to her friend and giving him such a funny look. Nine months? She had just seen him before hula class today! How could he have been gone for nine months?

"Uh, Stitch? I just saw you earlier today..." This place was just getting stranger and stranger by the minute...

"It's nice to meet you, Lilo and Stitch." Mickey glanced up again at the big dome high overhead and sighed. It seemed he had a lot to learn about this place, and he might have to find some way around its laws before he could leave.

"Nine months you've been here?" Mickey asked Stitch, somewhat alarmed at that bit of news. "Oh boy, that isn't good," he added worriedly. "I left my world in a crisis, not to mention all the others."

Stitch looked over to his friend. "That can't be possible..." He said. "I've been here for much longer than a few hours!" He said, now looking between the two people near him. This wasn't a good sign...or was it?

"At least I know that you and Nani aren't going to be mad!"

Lilo watched Stitch, frowning and considering some things. If aliens existed, and other planets and creatures were out there in the universe with new forms of technology, was it possible for one place to move at a different rate of time than another? Well, given everything that she knew, Lilo would have to say that it was entirely possible.

"Maybe time moves faster here than back home, Stitch?" she commented. "And I'm not mad. I don't know if Nani will be happy when we don't come home, though."

Mickey listened to the conversation of his new companions with interest. He'd never heard of a world that moved at a different rate of time than other worlds; all the worlds in his galaxy seemed to be linked, influencing one another and changing together.

"I think I'd better take a look around this place and see if I can find out how it works," he said, tugging on one of his ears, a habit when he was bewildered. "Will the two of you be all right?" He wasn't sure it was a good idea to leave such a young human girl, though she had her friend Stitch to look after her.

"We'll be fine Mickey, I promise!" Stitch said, attempting to make a scout's honor sign with one of his paws. "You be careful too, ok?" He looked at the mouse sideways, worried for his new friend.

"Strange things have been happening. I got sick...so did Rikku...but we're better now." He said, sitting back up straight again. He still didn't know what had made him sick, but he wanted his new friend to be careful and avoid it if he could.

Lilo nodded, echoing Stitch's comment. "Stitch and I make a great team. We'll be okay."

The Hawaiian girl smiled, though that smile quickly turned to a frown as Stitch spoke of getting sick. "Stitch, what happened? Are you sure you're okay?" The last thing she wanted was for her best friend to be sick, whether or not she was there to take care of him.

Stitch's ears drooped. "I got sick, that's all." He said, not wanting to lie to Lilo, but not wanting to worry her at the same time. He was quick to reassure her thought.

"I'm fine! Rikku's uncle Braska helped me!" He said, happily.

Lilo did the first thing that came to her mind--she hugged Stitch, squeezing tight. "I'm glad you're okay, and that you found someone to help you." She smiled at him, looking as relieved as she sounded. The last thing she wanted was for Stitch to be sick. Lilo didn't even like hearing that he had been sick.

"Can I meet the person who helped you, Stitch?" After all, any person so philanthropic was sure to be a good friend. It definitely couldn't hurt to make friends here. In fact, it seemed like a very good idea. Some of the people she had spoke to already had been very nice, and some concerned for her. It definitely made the little Hawaiian girl sure that it wouldn't be so bad, being stuck here. And eventually, they'd have to find a way home, right?

"Sure!" Stitch said, his ears perking up. "Rikku and Rakka are both really nice, they'll probably meet us somewhere if I ask!" He said, after hugging Lilo back. But where to find them, he didn't know. He didn't think they would be in the same place that they had been before.

"We'll just have to try and find them." He said, jumping off the bench. "It'll be an adventure, right?"

Lilo smiled and nodded. She, too, hopped off the bench, making sure to grab her journal as she did so. It wouldn't do to leave such a device behind. "Sounds good to me, Stitch."

If she looked at this whole thing as an adventure, Lilo was sure that it would become less scary than it was.
