Hey, remember Lilo & Stitch: The Animated Series? How about the Elastico episode? Well, if you haven't seen that episode, I highly recommend it. If you HAVE seen it, however, you'd know that when Elastico debuted, he was ALREADY in his one true place. I'm here to talk about what I believe happened before that. 

  Let's start with his activation, shall we? I believe that his pod might've been found on the ground by a little kid and mistaken for a piece of candy. Of course, the kid would've remembered what their parents had told them about candy off the ground, so they'd decide to wash the "candy" off first. Boy, would they have been in for a surprise!

  Anyway, Experiment 345 might go around and show his stretchy tricks off to some folks, but after some time, he'd start looking for Jumba and the other Experiments, getting spooked and startled several times along the way. With each fruitless search, the stretchy little guy would grow increasingly worried, frightened, and lonely.

  One day, whilst searching, Experiment 345 would've seen a circus elephant drinking from a water trough. Being an alien who'd never seen an elephant before, the small, clown-faced fella would've been quite curious. However, when he'd leaned in to get a closer look, the elephant would've spotted him and reached out its long trunk. 345 would quickly jump at this... literally, in bouncy-ball form. When the seals had started playing with the ball, it would've gotten tail-whacked through one of the hoops and set its trajectory to land right on the tiger's back, but then 345 would've returned to his normal form and stretched out one of his arms to grab onto a nearby tree branch. He would've then performed a giant swing before releasing in a triple flip (while still doing a full 360 degrees around the branch) before landing feet-first (or hands-first) and sighing in relief.

  Naturally, this display wouldn't have gone unnoticed by the circus ringmaster, who would've been amazed and interested in making the little alien part of their act. 345 would spell out his name in the dirt, but they'd want to give him a more fitting name: Elastico.

  The rest, of course, is history.
