Stitch's Choice

AKA: He's Mine!

Prologue: Six Months ago

"Lilo!" Stitch shouted running and jumping excitedly. In his hands were two corn dogs that he forced out of a snack shack. He ran on the sand of the Hawaiian beach.

"Corn dogs, corn dogs, corn dogs!" Stitch cheered excitedly in a singsong voice. "Lilo, I got…" The blue alien then stopped dead in his tracks. He looked all around.

"Lilo? He asked. But the little Hawaiian girl was no where in sight. Stitch grabbed his head.

"Gabba?" With that, Stitch shook it off.

"Oh well!" He said. "More for me!" With that said, the blue beast tossed the two corn dogs into the air, and opened his mouth.

The corn dogs were about to fall into his mouth, when all of a sudden Stitch felt something bump into him. He fell into the sand. The corn dogs did the same.

Stitch looked at the corn dogs which were now covered in sand. He then felt sad.

"Not sand dogs." He then shook the sand off, and tapped it out of his ears. He then growled, and lunged towed whatever had bumped into him.

He was shocked at what he saw. Ten year old Lilo and Keoni carrying a surfboard, running towards the ocean. Stitch stopped dead in his tracks.

"Lilo?" He wanted to know. "Keoni? Gabba?" Stitch scrached his head. "What you doing? Stitch is confused." The Hawaiian kids looked at him.

"Oh h-hi Stitch." Lilo said to him. "Sorry. I know I said I eat corn dogs with you, but then Kioni came, and well, you know." Stitch growled at Kioni, and crossed his hands madly across his chest.

"Yeah, yeah!" The alien huffed.

"Hay, cheer up dude." Keoni told him. "It's just for today. I'm not taking you always from Lilo, you understand?" Stitch mumbled angrily.

"Great! Come on Lilo, let's surf some gnarly waves."

"Okay!" Lilo said. "Let's do it! Later Stitch!" The kids then ran off.

Stitch, growling, kicked the sand. The sand flew up into his mouth, making him cough.

The alien then walked to make himself a sand castle.

"Taa-daaa!" Stitch said to no one in particular. He was satisfied at himself; he had made his masterpiece, a sandcastle!

"Wait, not complete." He then grabbed an American flag and a Hawaiian flag out of nowhere, and placed them on both sides of the castle's biggest tower.

"There, now complete!" Then a big wave crashed onto the shore, ruining Stitch's masterpiece.

Stitch growled, and stomped on his sandcastle madly, finishing it off. He huffed and puffed angrily. Lilo and Kioni came pass on their surfboard.

"Oops." Lilo laughed nervously. "Sorry Stitch." Stitch just growled, Lilo laughed nervously again, then she and Kioni were off again.

Stitch kicked the sand and sat down madly. He then heard a ribbit. He paused, and looked beside him. There was the frog, just sitting there, and croaking.

Stitch growled at the frog, and looked away. He then looked back at the frog.

"Lilo not dumping me for Keoni." He told the frog. "Stitch is Lilo's Ohana. Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind, or forgotten. I'm Lilo's forever." The frog croaked again, Stitch thought the frog was mocking him/.

"Stitch not jealous." The frog croaked again. "Well, I'm not!" Then Stitch had it, and left. "Stop mocking me, okay!"

The frog just croaked one last time, and hopped off.

In the next few weeks, Lilo has been spending her time with Kioni, and neglecting Stitch. With Kioni, she has been going out to movies, watching home movies starring Elvis, going onto his and his father's yacht, going to fancy restaurants, and other fun outings. Each of these events made Lilo happy, but broke Stitch's heart.

Then one day, Stitch wrote a note to Lilo. When Lilo read it, it broke her heat. The poor little girl had no choice but to cry. She cried on Nani's lap. Nani bent down to sooth her. Beside her was David, who looked at the two with a frown, feeling bad about what had happened.

Stitch's note said that he packed up his bags and moved on. If Lilo wanted to be with Keoni, then so be it! Lilo loved Keoni; there was just no room for Stitch.

"There, there Lilo." Nani consoled her little sister. "It'll be alright, you'll see."

"No!" Lilo sobbed. "I neglected Stitch for Keoni. He'll never come back, and it's all my fault. I feel like such a jerk!"

Nani looked at Lilo, wiping away her hair from her eyes. She then wiped away her sister's tears.

"There, there, baby." Nani said again. "Remember what Gloria Gloom said in that book that you read to Stitch this summer?" Lilo sniffed.

"That you got to love it while you got it?"

"Right! So, forget about Stitch. You got to move on."

"No! I won't forget about Stitch!" Lilo sobbed and sobbed. Nani just didn't know if her sister could ever be happy again. She never saw Lilo cry like this ever since the sisters' parents died.

"What can I do?" Nani asked David. "She's really sad." David shrugged. Nani just looked again and petted her crying sister.

"Um, Lilo." Keoni spoke. "To cheer you up, you want to go get some ice cream? Money's on me."

This perked Lilo up. She looked up, and hugged Keoni.

'YES, OH YES!" Lilo shouted. "Keoni, you do know how to cheer a girl up; you're the best!" Kioni laughed.

"Okay then. Let's go before you choke me, and possibly kill me." Lilo released herself.

"Lets!" Lilo said. The kids then ran off.

Nani stood up, went to the sofa, and collapsed on it, sighing in relief.

"I never thought she would ever cheer up." Nani said. David laughed, and sat down by her.

"Thank goodness for Keoni huh?" He asked.

"Yeah." Nani agreed. "Thank goodness, I suppose."

"You know," David continued. "This won't work for long. What you need a vacation to you know, fully restore Lilo's heart. Some vacation is what Lilo needs. After that, your sister will be good as new."

"You really think so?" Nani wanted to know.

"Of course." David answered. "Trust me; your sister will be cheerful again in no time."

"Well, I suppose. But, where to?" David shrugged.

The two spent all afternoon thinking of where to go.

Meanwhile, Stitch watched from inside his spaceship. He picked up a picture frame with a picture of a happy Lilo inside. He looked at it, remembering all the times he had with her. He sat it back down, and sat at the controls.

"Aloha Lilo." Stitch spoke sadly. "Aloha…forever." He then started the engine, and drove off.

He didn't know where he was off too, but where his heart wouldn't be broken ever again, he just didn't care.
