A/N: This is a drabble (100-word story) I wrote for The Lauderdale, who was super-cool enough to write me one for my birthday. Her terms for this drabble were: rotund, inked, and delicately, and the characters she chose were Lilo and Jumba. This is my first-ever drabble, and with only the above-mentioned terms to go on, here is what I wrote…
DIFFERENT: A DRABBLE
* * * * *
Evil genius. Earth girl. Both are alien among their own kind. Different. In her solitude, Lilo looks up at the rotund form casting his shadow across the floor. Jumba, adopted uncle, bends down and scoops her delicately into his arms. Holding her close, he knows what she is feeling. Words cannot communicate the vast distances being closed between two hearts, nor the truth inked in tears across two faces. Understanding dawns as both see in the other what they failed to see in themselves.
"Ve are not different, ve are unique, and that is truly somethingk to be proud of."
For The Lauderdale

~ I am thinking about writing more L&S related drabbles and adding them to this one to make a collection. They are a fun challenge and good exercise for developing my writing skills in my other stories. So, if anyone wants to submit an idea, please do so in reviews, and I will try to honor all suggestions. To submit an idea for a drabble you must choose three terms (any three words) plus two characters, preferably from Lilo & Stitch, Stitch! the movie, or Lilo & Stitch the series.
