Stitch and Reuben

Stitch and Reuben is the pilot episode of Stitch and Friends.
== Plot ==
=== Chapter 1: I Am Stitch ===
Doctor Jumba Jookiba, a mad scientist, is arrested and put on trial by the Galactic Federation for illegal genetic experimentation, evidenced by his creations "The 626 Experiments". The Grand Councilwoman gives one of them another chance by showing them something good. When Experiment 626 is chosen, he comes out and says "Meega nala kweesta". Jumba is imprisoned while the creatures is sentenced to exile on a desert asteroid. "626" and the others manage to escape on a red police van, and activates the hyperdrive, causing its guidance systems to malfunction and randomly set a course for Earth. 5 years later, the experiments were still floating into space. 625 accidentally puts his peanut butter and jelly on the self-destruct button and the police van explodes. The Experiments get dehydrated by the sun and turned into experiment pods, including 626. The Grand Councilwoman dispatches Jumba and Agent Pleakley, the Council's expert on Earth, to the planet to have 626 and the others captured discreetly, because Earth is the habitat for the "endangered" mosquito and humans are described as being unable to handle an alien encounter.
=== Chapter 2: I Experiment to Earth ===
When 626's experiment pod lands safely on earth by sliding down leaves. When it began to rain, a raindrop lands on a pine tree's leaf and falls on 626's experiment pod, activating him. 626 crash-lands in The Big City only to be knocked unconscious by a passing truck and taken to an animal shelter. An Animal Not For A Pet But For A Friend Carnival shows up. Nella, Dorothy and Felicity immediately takes a keen interest in 626, who is impersonating a dog. In spite of Nani's doubts, Felicity gives 626 the name "Stitch", and shows him around the city. Meanwhile Reuben's experiment pod lands on the top of General Specific's hat. When Private Public finds the pod, The Angry Scientist tells them that the pod is an experiment if hydrated. They get contacted by Dr. Hamsterviel for help to get the 625 experiments. The Angry Scientist bulids an Experiment DNA Ray Gun Machine and activated 625. While 625 has all of Stitch's powers, he is incredibly lazy, a terrible coward, and prioritizes in making sandwiches above all else. General Specific gives 625 the name "Reuben". That evening, at Mythic Malts, the aliens Jumba and Pleakley try, but fail, to capture Stitch. The resulting chaos is blamed on Stitch, causing an employee to lose his job.Nella, Dorothy, Felicity and Stitch to take a break and enjoy a day of surfing. While the surfers, including Stitch ride a huge wave, Jumba makes one final effort to capture Stitch from underwater. Specific tries to catch him, but both Jumba and Specific lost. Although everyone survives, The Security Guard witnesses this event and tells the girls that. Seeing how much trouble he has caused, Stitch runs off. The next morning, the Councilwoman fires Jumba and Pleakley of their assignment and gives it to the galaxy's oversized militant captain, Captain Gantu (instead freeing Jumba to pursue Stitch using less covert methods).
=== Chapter 3: Stitch Is The Finale ===
While the King and Queen are away, leaving the girls in charge, Stitch, hiding in the nearby woods, encounters the Secret Military, who chases him back to the Castleheaven Castle. A fight ensues and Jumba join in the battle which destroys the castle and will be rebuilted soon. The girls walk away and find Stitch, who reveals his alien identity before Gantu captures all of them. Stitch manages to escape from Gantu's ship and is confronted by everyone. Before he can explain, Jumba and Pleakley capture Stitch themselves. The King demand that they help her rescue his daughter and her friends, but Jumba insists they only came for Stitch. When Nani breaks down, Stitch reminds them that friends can be family and convinces Jumba to help rescue them. Jumba, Pleakley, Stitch, and the others all give chase to Gantu's spaceship in Jumba's spaceship and rescue the girls. Back on the ground, the Grand Councilwoman arrives on Earth and prepares to take Stitch into custody and retire Gantu for kidnapping Nella, Dorothy and Felicity, but the girls insists that because Stitch is her friend under local law, he cannot be taken away. Impressed with Stitch's newfound civility and empathy, the Councilwoman goes against the prior decision of the Federation and decrees that Stitch will live in exile on Earth. He will be entrusted to the care of Nella, Dorothy and Felicity. The Galatic Federation Police arrested Dr. Hamsterviel for trying to have steal Jumba's experiments. When General Specific finds Gantu, he hires him and makes him an official member. The Grand Councilwoman tells them that there are 624 more experiment on the loose and she let them rehabilitate the other 624 experiments. The Councilwoman places Hämsterviel under arrest, and Jumba whispers to Pleakley that he has plans for making 627. At the end of the pilot, Experiments 202, 529, 455, 489, and 390 are activated, thus leading to the series.
