Rufus (episode)

Rufus is the eighth episode of Season 2 of Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It aired on August 26, 2005.

Plot
When Stitch is kidnapped by Dr. Drakken, Pleakley calls on the help of Kim Possible to rescue him. Although they initially both want the other to step aside, Lilo and Kim must work together to accomplish this goal. Also, Jumba mistakes Rufus for the dangerous experiment 607.

Synopsis
Stitch is running through trees while trying to hide as Lilo had finished counting. While looking around to find Stitch she eventually finds him in the palm tree. Lilo is not pleased by this, as Stitch was supposed to hide instead of telling her where he is, thus defeating the purpose of hide and seek. Suddenly, an aircraft has abducted Stitch from the tree, and Lilo goes after it but soon loses it.

Back at her house, Jumba finds Pleakley in the living room looking at some magazines, which he refers them his "treasure of earth knowledge". Lilo soon returns back home and tells them of Stitch's disappearance, who them suggests using Jumba's Ship to find him. Jumba tells her that his ship is not working, so Lilo decides to rescue Stitch on her own. Jumba warns her that she can't go on dangerous missions without 626. Lilo wonders on who could do the job better than her, until Pleakley finds a magazine cover of Kim Possible. He then tells Lilo that they can go to Kim's website, tell her that there in trouble and take advantage of her highly efficient secret agent skills. Jumba then looks at the magazine which soon impresses him of Kim's impressive resume. Lilo is pessimistic on having to hire Kim and doesn't need her, as they can do the job themselves. Pleakley assures her that the "saving business" should be let to the professionals, as he soon writes an email to Kim reading: "ATTENTION! URGENT MATTER, SAFETY OF THE WORLD AT STAKE NEED HELP A.S.A.P" and sends the letter. Pleakley then says that they will have to wait for Kim to arrive, though Lilo is worried if Stitch needs them right now.
