Part I




The Doctor didn't remember the last time he'd had so many people on the TARDIS. Or even if he'd ever had so many people on the TARDIS at the same time. Jumba, Pleakley, Lilo, Stitch, Nani, David, Gantu. Seven of them. Seven. He had already spent at least a few minutes with each of them and found them wonderful in their own ways. They were from different species and different planets---and the way they saw life in general was diverse as well. Yet, as a group, they worked quite well, too. Or at least better than other groups the Doctor knew.

"It all began when a rogue genetic experiment fell down from the stars," was a great beginning for any story. The Doctor could even identify with it---even if he wasn't a genetic experiment, he had fallen from the stars with an certain frequency.

In short, it took less than a day for the Doctor to get to really like them all. Even Gantu and his temper.

"Was it Jumba the prisoner you couldn't catch?" the Doctor asked him the first night when the both of them were finally alone in the ship. Gantu insisted in "mounting guard", code for: "I don't trust the Doctor." It had been quite transparent and the Doctor was fine with that, to say the truth.

Gantu mumbled for a bit. "Experiment 626," he finally said. "Or Stitch, as he's called now."

"Oh, I see. Lilo named him, didn't she?"

"I understand as much," Gantu said, his arms folded and his eyes fixed on the control panel.

"Ask away if you want to," the Doctor said as he went to move some of the knobs and levers. Not because it was needed, but because he wanted to give the impression he was actually piloting the TARDIS.

"How do you manage to keep track of everything?" Gantu asked after a moment. "A ship like this should need at least three people in charge."

"So, you noticed." A brief pause. "Well, there is a short and simple explanation for that."

Gantu waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. As long as you know what you're doing."

"It's your lucky day, then! I always know what I'm doing!"

Gantu rolled his eyes. Difficult to see given his stature and the structure of his cranium but he did it.

The Doctor beamed. "Do you have any special requests? I'm still deciding on our first destination."

Gantu stroked his chin. "Well, there was this place I could never visit because I was busy with work: Enterium IV."

The Doctor made a face. "Oh, come on! I just took you lot out from one beach!"

"You asked."

"There has to be something else. How about Toleim X?"

"Isn't that the one with the horrible desert of doom?"

"Yep! Those are the most fun!"

"Doctor, there's Lilo to think about."

"Oh, right... Right." He rubbed his hands. "We'll have to think about something else, then. I know I have a catalog somewhere..."




Not much later, after the Doctor made a show of putting the TARDIS on autopilot, Gantu and the Doctor were sitting down on the carpet of one of the living rooms going through several View-Masters, trying to decide on a beautiful, exciting, child-proof place for their first landing. They finally decided on Omtalas II, a nice and quiet planet with hotels on the top of the loveliest chain of mountains anyone could set eyes upon.




The next morning, the rest of the travelers received with joy the news of their destination and got ready to sky, build snowmen and participate in snow fights.

Nevertheless, when they landed, they were immediately banned from the hotels, the towns and even the planet itself. As it turned out, Omtalas II was one of the places where Stitch caused mayhem when he went through his monster phase.

Stitch cackled when he heard that. "Stitch remembers that! It was fun!"

Everyone looked at him, but he kept laughing unrepentantly.

The Doctor gave Stitch a small notebook and a pencil. "We're going to need a list of all the places you've been."

Stitch took it, sat down on the floor and began writing. "It will be a long list," he mumbled.

"I'm so proud of you," Jumba began, but Nani shut him up with a glare.

"It's okay," the Doctor said. "The universe is big and we have to prevent this from happening again."

"I don't know. I always wanted to be one of those turists," Lilo said.

"Lilo!" Nani said, but it was more of a sigh.

Meanwhile, Stitch kept on writing and writing and writing.
