Meet the Smiths

''All this has happened before, and it will all happen again. But this time, it happened in London. It happened on a quiet street in Bloomsbury. That corner house over there is the home of the Smith family, and Experiment 626 (Stitch) chose this particular house because there were people and animals who believed in him. There was Mrs. Smith.''

In the bathroom of the corner house, there was a Native American woman with copper skin, black hair, and dark brown eyes, wearing a yellow Indian dress, her mother's blue necklace, and yellow shoes. Her name was Pocahontas. And she was busy fixing her hair in front of the mirror for a ball.

"John dear, do hurry," Pocahontas called out. "We mustn't be late for the party, you know."

''Mrs. Smith believed that Experiment 626 was the spirit of youth. But Mr. Smith...''

In the bedroom, there was a British man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a a light blue shirt, matching pants, a dark blue vest, and matching boots. His name was John Smith, Pocahontas's husband. And he was looking for his gold cuff links through some drawers.

"Pocahontas, unless I find my cuff links, we don't go to the party," John Smith called back. "And if we don't go to the party, I can never show my face in London again. And if I can never--"

Unfortunately, he got cut off by bumping his head on the open top drawer.

"OUCH!" cried John Smith, as he hopped around, holding his head.

''Well, Mr. Smith was a practical man. The twins, however, Chip and Dale, who were the stepsons of John Smith and Pocahontas, believed Experiment 626 was a real creature and made him the hero of all their nursery games.''

In the nursery, we see two shadows fighting each other with a toy scepter and a toy sword. One has a toy sword in its left paw and a hanger in its right while the other has a toy sword in its right paw.

One of the shadows belonged to a brown chipmunk with a black nose, wearing a red short-sleeved nightshirt, black glasses, and a straw hat on his head. His name was Chip, John Smith and Pocahontas's stepson. And he was the one with the hanger in his right paw and the sword in his left.

The other shadow belonged to another brown chipmunk with a red nose, wearing a blue short-sleeved nightshirt. His name was Dale, Chip's twin brother and John Smith and Pocahontas's other stepson. And he was the one with the sword in his right paw.

"Blast you, Experiment 626!" Chip said in a scary voice.

Dale bonked his brother on the head twice with his sword. "Take that!" he cried. Then he and Chip blocked their toy scepter and toy sword together. "Give up, Br'er Fox?" he smirked, "Give up?"

"Never!" called Chip. Then he opened a drawer that was underneath Dale's paws with the hanger, and he fell in as Chip yelled, "I'll teach you to cut off me hand!"

Just about then, an 8-year-old Hawaiian girl with black hair and brown eyes walked in. She was wearing a mint-green nightshirt with short sleeves. Her name was Lilo Pelekai, John Smith and Pocahontas's stepdaughter and Chip and Dale's big sister. She was also carrying a jug.

"Oh no, Simon," Namine giggled. "It was the left hand."

"Oh, yes. Thank you, Namine." said Simon, as he switched the hanger from his right hand to his left and the scepter from his left hand to his right.

''Lilo Pelekai, the eldest and stepdaughter of Joohn Smith and Pocahontas, not only believed. She was the supreme authority on Experiment 626 and all his marvelous adventures.''

While Lilo was in the hallway, she sighed as she talked to three figures, "Oh, Cleo, Figaro, Pluto. Must we always take that nasty tonic?"

The figures walked out to reveal an a goldfish named Cleo, a black and white kitten named Figaro, and an orange-yellow dog named Pluto. Pluto was carrying a tray of three spoons and a bottle of tonic for Lilo, Chip, and Dale.

Cleo, Figaro, and Pluto the nursemaid and butlers, being a goldfish, a cat, and a dog, kept their opinions to themselves and viewed the whole affair with a certain tolerance.

Pluto put the tray on a small table. Then he, Figaro, and Cleo went over to the pillow to pick it up while Chip and Dale were still playing.

"Take that!" Dale called.

Chip and Dale played around, hopping around the beds. "Insolent trog, I'll slash you to ribbons!" Chip yelled.

Pluto went to the bed, placed the pillow there, and fixed up the sheets and blanket up. "And I'll scratch you to pieces! Aha!" Dale called.

As he hit Chip, the chipmunk yelped in pain. "Ouch! Careful, Dale, my glasses!"

"I'm sorry, Chip." Dale said.

Then Figaro picked up two blocks and went with Pluto and Cleo to the other blocks. Chip and Dale hopped back to the bed, messing it up again. "Ah! You'll never leave this ship alive!" Chip shouted.

So both of them bounced up and down as the pillow fell off again. "Oh yes, I will," Dale shouted back. "Take that!"

When Figaro placed the ABC on the top, he, Cleo, and Pluto quickly turned as they realized that Figaro had made a mistake. He got them to BAC. So he took the A block, moved the B block, and placed it to the first. He and the others smiled and walked to the tonic for the kids.

"Scuttle me bones, trog! I'll slit your gizzard!" Chip yelled, as he stabbed as his wooden sword. It ripped through the sheets.

Then Pluto poured on the spoons. "Oh, no, you won't," Dale cried. "Back! Back! Back, you villain!" As they moved through the sheets, he pushed his wooden sword against Chip's.

"Insolent pup!" Chip snarled.

Pluto heard that as he turned, only to get the tonic on his paw. He put it down. "Wicked fox pirate!" Dale cried.

"Aha! I got you!" Chip shouted.

"You didn't either. You never touched me!" Dale smirked. When Pluto licked it off, he was grossed out by the taste. "Take that! And that! And that!" When Dale thrust his sword at Chip, he got it under his arm as if he made it look like he got him.

Pretending he was dead, Chip placed a paw over his chest, groaned a fake death groan, and collapsed to the floor. That's when John Smith came into the nursery.

"Boys, boys. Less noise, please." John Smith said, without looking where he was going. He knocked the blocks down as Cleo, Figaro, and Pluto heard that, and they had to get them back together as they frowned in annoyance.

Chip saw him. "Oh, hello, stepfather." he said in a normal voice. But Dale was still playing.

"You old bilge rat!" Dale cried out.

Then John Smith heard that and was insulted. "Wha- wha-what? Now see here, Dale!"

"Oh, not you, stepfather. You see, he's Experiment 626. Stitch." Chip told him.

"And Chip's Br'er Fox." Dale added.

"Yes, yes, of course. Er, have you seen my cuff links?" John Smith asked before he bumped Cleo, Figaro, and Pluto, knocking the blocks down again and spilling the water and Cleo out of her fishbowl. "Oh, Cleo, Figaro, Pluto, for goodness' sake!" John Smith shouted, walking past the annoyed fish, cat, and dog, "Where are those cuff links?" Pluto smashed the last blocks that were standing with his paw.

"Cuff links, stepfather?" asked Chip.

"Yes. The gold ones." John Smith answered, still looking around.

"Dale, the buried treasure," Chip whispered to his brother. "Where is it?"

"I don't know, Chip." Dale said in an innocent way.

"The map then… Where's the treasure map?" Chip whispered.

"It got lost." Dale said.

While John Smith was looking around the bed, he then spotted something under the covers, he was shocked as he shouted, "Good heavens! My dark blue vest!" He grabbed his dark blue vest.

"Hurray! You found it! You found it!" Dale cheered.

John Smith put it on, as he turned. He didn't know that it got chalk all over his shirt front, the one that looked like the lost map. "Yes, so I have. And hereafter..." As then, Dale came and pulled his vest "Don't paw me, Dale! This is my last clean..." It was loose as he has saw something shocking and horrifying. He saw a lost map. "No..." He can't say something, only he covered his vest shouting, "NO!"

Pocahontas came in and said, "John dear, we really must hurry or we'll be late."

"Pocahontas! Look!" John Smith said, showing Pocahontas his vest.

Pocahontas saw that and was shocked. "John!"

"It's only chalk, stepfather." Dale said.

"Why, Dale..." Pocahontas was about to say something when Chip cut in.

"It's not his fault. It's in the story. And Lilo said..." Chip said.

When John Smith heard what Chip said, he now knew what was up. "Lilo? Story? I might have known." He walked to the door as he called out, "LILO?" He crossed his arms and called out even louder. "LILO!"

Lilo heard him, walked in, and asked, "Yes, stepfather?"

"Would you kindly expl-" John Smith was about to say something. But Lilo walked by him when she saw the beauty of Pocahontas's necklace.

"Oh, stepmother! You look simply lovely!" Lilo said.

"Thank you, dear." Pocahontas smiled.

John Smith turned to her in annoyance and said, "Lilo..."

"Just my mother's necklace made over but it did turn out right. And I-" Pocahontas was about to say.

"Pocahontas, if you don't mind, I'd..." John Smith said, as Lilo turned and saw his vest.

"Why, stepfather! What have you done to your vest?" Lilo asked.

John Smith couldn't believe what she was saying. "What have I...?" He then turned and screamed in shame. "AAAAAOOOOOOOHHHHHH!"

Pocahontas walked to him with a damp washcloth "Now, John, really. It comes right off." She washed off the chalk on his shirt front.

"That's no excuse!" He frowned while Lilo, Chip, and Dale were putting the toys away. "Lilo, haven't I warned you? Stuffing the twins' heads with a lot of silly stories."

"Oh, but they aren't!" Namine protested.

"I say they are! Warlock the Magician! Sora Spellcaster!" Eric said.

"Sora Pan, dad." Namine told him.

"Pan, spellcaster," Eric shouted, trying to put on collar around his neck. "Poppycock!"

"Oh no, dad."

"Papa, have you ever-"

"You don't understand." The children tried to tell him.

"ABSOLUTE POPPYCOCK!" Eric shouted, finally getting the collar together. "And let me tell you, this ridiculous..."

"Now, Eric..." Aurora said, about to do his red belt.

"Now, Eric! Now, Eric!" He repeated of what Aurora said, while Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver were almost done helping Toulouse put the blocks back up. But they stopped to listen. "WELL, 'NOW, ERIC' WILL HAVE HIS SAY!" He tied it around his waist himself, but he made the knot too tight.

"Please, dear." Aurora said, loosening the knot in his belt.

"Aurora, the child's growing up," As when Toulouse picked up two more blocks, he listened very carefully. "It's high time she had a room of her own!" He pointed at the hall as it shocked them all.

"Dad!" Namine gasped.

"Eric!" Aurora gasped.

"What?!" Simon gasped.

"No!" Fievel gasped.

Toulouse dropped all the blocks while he, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver gasped in shock and couldn't believe what they were hearing and what Eric was doing. "I mean it! Young lady, this is your last night in the nursery!" he said, as Namine lowered her head in sadness. "And that's my last word on the matter!" He walked away, only to nearly stomp on Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver and tried to get out of the way. Eric couldn't move around and was ready to fall. And he was losing his steps!

Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver moved away, as they fully stopped. But they nearly knocked the blocks again because Eric bumped into them and knocked them down. Now they must move away before it happens. But Toulouse stepped the wagon, rolled back, and fell as Eric stepped on it and rolled around here. "NO!" And when Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver were rolling by, the wagon made a tear in the rug, and Eric was sent flying as he yelled, "NO!" And with a large crash, he fell into the dresser, knocking the toys down. Namine, Simon, Fievel, and Aurora were shocked that Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver were against the wall.

As for Eric, he was on the floor in pain, and last of the toys fell on his head, the last was the jack-in-the-box, and up popped the jack, as it stood on his head, which made Naveen mad and annoyed.

"Oh!" Namine, Simon, Fievel, and Aurora all said together. Eric heard them, and knew that they saw him get hurt, and caring of him. So he closed his eyes and waited for them. But suddenly, they ran past him, which made Eric open his widened eyes in shock. As they ran to Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver, but Eric.

"Poor Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver." They said together again.

Eric couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Poor Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver?" Now he was very angry as he hopped up on his feet when he stomped up and shouted, "This is the last straw!" He pointed his finger out the door shouting, "OUT! OUT, I SAY!"

Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver were hugging each other while Fievel was clinging onto Oliver's tail. "No, papa, no!" Fievel pleaded.

Eric grabbed Toulouse by the tail while he, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver were still hugging each other and shouted, "YES! There'll be no more cats for butlers or nursemaids in this house!" Fievel grabbed Oliver's tail. But Aurora stopped him by picking him up as Eric was dragging Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver out the room.

Fievel started to cry as he waved to his friends. "Goodbye, Toulouse. Goodbye, Marie. Goodbye, Berlioz. Goodbye, Oliver."

"Goodbye, Fievel!" Oliver said cheerfully, as he, his girlfriend, and her brothers waved goodbye back. As Eric walked out to the back, he muttered to himself, "Poor Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver. Oh yes, poor Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver. But poor father? Oh, no." He let go of Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver and looked for some ropes, and couldn't find any. "Blast it! Where are those ropes?" He turned as he saw Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver holding four ropes in their mouths. Eric walked to them and said, "Oh, thank you." As he was tying the ropes to Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver's collars, Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver gave him sad looks. "Oh, boy!" sighed Berlioz. Eric saw that and couldn't bear the sight. "Oh, dash it all, you four. D-Don't look at me like that."

He walked to the fountain and filled up Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver's dishes. He picked them up and filled them more. "It's nothing personal. It's just that- Well, you're not really butlers or a nurse at all You're… Well, four cats. And the children aren't kittens, they're chipmunks and a human." He placed the water dishes near Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver. "And sooner or later, Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver, chipmunks and humans have to grow up." He pet Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver's heads.

Inside the house, the kids are in their beds, as Aurora knew that Eric didn't mean to do that to Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver.

Namine looked depressed. "But mom, I don't want to grow up." she pleaded.

"Now dear," Aurora said, as she kissed her on the forehead and covered her up with a white blanket. "Don't worry about it anymore tonight."

"He called Sora Pan 'absolute poppycock'." Simon said to himself after what his dad had said.

"I'm sure he didn't mean it, Simon," Aurora said, as she removed the glasses from his eyes and cape from his shoulders. "Father was just upset."

As for Fievel, he was using a matchbox as a bed. He had tears running down his cheeks. "Poor Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver," he sniffled. "out there all alone."

"No more tears, Fievel. It's a warm night. They'll be all right." Aurora said, as she covered him up with a green blanket, kissed his forehead, and left.

Then Fievel remembered something. "Mama?" he asked.

Aurora turned around and asked, "What is it, dear?"

"Buried treasure." Fievel had the cuff links that Eric was looking for, and he gave them to Aurora.

"Now, children, don't judge your father too harshly. After all, he really loves you very much." She walked to the window door, and was about to lock it up.

But Namine stopped her as she said, "Oh don't lock it, mom. He might come back."

"He?" Aurora asked in a puzzled way.

"Yes, Sora Pan. You see, I found something that belongs to him." Namine said, as she lay down.

"Oh, and what's that?" asked Aurora.

She yawned and said, "His shadow."

"Shadow?" Aurora asked, very surprised.

"Mm-hmm. Toulouse, Marie, Berlioz, and Oliver had it, but I-I took it away." Namine said, as she drifted off to sleep.

"Oh? Yes, of course. Good night, dear." Aurora said, as she turned off the light, walked out, and left for the party.
