One morning in Kauai, Stitch was jumping around in excitement about his first date with Angel he was planning.

"You sure are excited about seeing Angel, aren't you, Stitch?" said Lilo.

"Ih!" said Stitch.

Lilo giggled a bit while Jumba and Pleakley, who were beside her, watched as Stitch continued to jump around.

Then, there was something Jumba and Pleakley had in mind about the way Stitch should look.

"Hmm, if 626 wants to date 624, he should look his best," said Jumba.

"You're right, Jumba," said Pleakley.

"But how is he gonna look his best?" asked Lilo.

"Well, according to my Earth research, all grooms should be nice and clean," said Pleakley.

"Oh, so Stitch needs to be clean in order to have a good time with Angel," said Lilo.

"Exactly," said Jumba. "Which means..."

"...he's gonna have to have a bath," finished Pleakley.

Stitch heard the word bath. He didn't want to take a bath. He stopped jumping. "No bath!" he said.

"Come on, Stitch," said Lilo. "If you want to look your best, you need to be nice and clean."

Stitch wanted to look his best, but he still didn't want to take a bath, so he ran off.

"Stitch, come back here!" Lilo shouted as she started to run after Stitch.

Jumba and Pleakley followed Lilo as they all chased Stitch around the house and backyard.

Then, Stitch ran to the top of a tree. "Stitch want to look good for Angel," he thought to himself. "But there's no way I am taking a bath,"

Then, Lilo, Jumba, and Pleakley spotted Stitch on the tree.

"There he is!" Lilo said as she pointed to the tree.

"How are we gonna reach him?" asked Pleakley.

"I have an idea," said Jumba.

With that, Lilo, Jumba, and Pleakley stood on each other's shoulders in an attempt to grab Stitch, but Stitch jumped off the tree and ran off again.

Suddenly, Lilo, Jumba, and Pleakley, who were still standing on each other's shoulders, wobbled and fell to the ground.

Lilo sighed in frustration. "We've got to catch Stitch somehow," she said.

"What can we do?" asked Pleakley.

But none of the three had any idea.

"We'll have to think about it," said Lilo.

Suddenly, the trio heard a crash.

"What was that?" asked Lilo.

"Over there!" Jumba said as he pointed to the drying rack where Stitch was.

Stitch was attempting to hide in clothing, but he was also causing damage to the drying rack itself.

"Oh, no!" exclaimed Lilo. "We've got to stop him before he makes a mess!"

"Little girl is right," said Jumba.

"Then let's get him!" said Pleakley.

So Lilo, Jumba, and Pleakley ran to the drying rack and tried to grab Stitch again, but Stitch jumped out of the clothing and some clothes landed on the trio's faces.

Then, Lilo, Jumba, and Pleakley removed the clothing from their faces, disgraced.

"This is ridiculous," said Jumba.

"I know," said Pleakley. "Now what?"

"Don't worry," said Lilo. "We'll catch him."

Then, Jumba had an idea. "I think I've got it," he said.

"What is it?" asked Lilo.

"I'll be right back," Jumba said as he went into the house.

Lilo and Pleakley looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what Jumba's idea was.

Then, Jumba went back outside with a butterfly net. "Maybe this will help us catch 626," he said.

"Great idea!" said Lilo.

Meanwhile, Stitch was still running around the backyard, not wanting to take a bath. Suddenly, he was being spotted by Lilo, Jumba, and Pleakley.

"Okay, any questions?" asked Jumba.

"No," Lilo and Pleakley said at the same time.

"All right, then," Jumba said as he held out his net. "When he comes closer, we'll catch him with this."

Then, Stitch began to approach the trio. Suddenly, Jumba threw the net over him, causing him to struggle in it.

"Got him!" said Jumba.

"Perfect! Now, let's get him to the tub," said Lilo.

So with Stitch in the net, Lilo, Jumba, and Pleakley took him to the bathtub.

"Now, don't try to run a way again, Stitch," said Lilo.

Stitch growled, but was forced to stay in the bathtub.

"Pleakley, get the soap," Lilo said to Pleakley.

"Yes, ma'am!" Pleakley said as he went to get the soap.

When Pleakley returned with the soap, he handed it to Lilo.

"All right, Stitch," said Lilo. "Hold still."

Jumba and Pleakley held on to Stitch, and Lilo started scrubbing Stitch with the soap.

"Jumba, get a bucket of water," Lilo said to Jumba.

"Got it," Jumba said as he went to get a bucket of water.

When Jumba returned with the bucket of water, he splashed it on Stitch, causing him to shiver.

"You're almost done, Stitch," Lilo said as she finished scrubbing and washing Stitch.

Then, finally, Stitch was finished. He turned out sparkly and was nice and clean. "Stitch fluffy and ready!" he said.

"Not so fast, there," said Lilo. "You seem to be missing something."

Stitch growled in annoyance.

"You're missing a bowtie," said Lilo.

Stitch's ears perked up at what Lilo said. Then Lilo grabbed a bowtie and put it on Stitch.

"Stitch ready now?" said Stitch.

"Yep," said Lilo. "You're ready."

"Thanks, Lilo," Stitch said as he hugged Lilo.

Lilo hugged Stitch back. "No problem, Stitch." she said.

When the two pulled away, Stitch heard Angel calling out from outside of the house.

"Boojiboo!" Angel called out to Stitch.

"I'm coming, Angel!" Stitch said as he walked towards Angel.

With that, Stitch and Angel walked out together.

"I'll be home later!" Stitch said as he took Angel's hand.

Lilo smiled as she watched Stitch leave with Angel, knowing that Stitch will not need another bath for a very long time.

The End
