Matched Heartbeats

Chapter 1: Mindlessness over Matter

It's been two years since all of the experiments have been captured, turned from bad to good, and found the one true place it belonged. It's been two years since Hamsterviel had Jumba create Stitch's evil twin, Experiment –626 AKA Leroy. It's been two years since the Galactic Armada commissioned Gantu and Rueben and Lilo's ohana was fully reunited. Things haven't changed much, aside from Jumba's creating Experiments 628, 629, and 630 AKA Draco, Chip, and Morph. Since they were created for good, no one really cared too much. As a matter of fact, the trio had been greeted with open arms.

Lilo had just finished hula class and was walking home. She had moved up in rank with all the other hula girls. Class was a lot better since Myrtle found out Gigi was an experiment. After that, she slowly grew to accept Lilo, despite her 'weirdness.' The other hula girls never really held anything against Lilo and followed suit. As Lilo walked home, random thoughts kept passing through her mind. They eventually settled on Stitch. Like the other experiments, Stitch didn't really change in appearance. Lilo on the other hand has grown three more inches and was starting to look slimmer.

"Stitch is the best friend I've ever had," thought Lilo, "I love him closer than a brother. I'm sure glad he has a good girlfriend like Angel."

Angel and Stitch's relationship was going very well. Because of experiments' lack of annual development, they hadn't progressed far but were enjoying themselves. Speaking of which, Angel was walking down the street towards Lilo. "Aloha Angel," said Lilo.

"Aloha Lilo," said Angel. Most of the experiments have learned to speak English over the course of two years, including Angel and Stitch.

"Where are you going?" asked Lilo.

"Nowhere in particular," said Angel; "I heard that Jumba's working on a new project."

"Yeah," said Lilo, "he locks himself in his lab and won't leave except for dinner."

"What do you think it'll be?" asked Angel.

"He said it had something to do with transportation," said Lilo.

Suddenly there was a ringing sound. Angel extended one of her extra arms and turned on the videophone that it was holding. The videophone's screen showed a picture of Jumba.

"Little girl, 6-2-4, come quickly! I have something for you to be seeing!" The videophone's image turned off.

"He must have finished his project!" said Lilo, "Let's go see!" The two of them raced towards Jumba's lab.

When they came through the lab doors, they saw Jumba and Morph waiting for them. "Ah, little girl!" said Jumba, "so glad you came so quickly. You too, 6-2-4."

"So what's the big surprise?" asked Lilo.

Jumba walked over to something with a tarp over it. He pulled off the tarp to reveal two machines. They looked exactly identical except that their doors had a 1 and a 2 on them.

"What are those?" asked Angel.

"Those are my new teleportation pods," said Jumba.

"Uh, Jumba," said Lilo, "Hasn't the teleporter already been invented?"

"Ah, but these two are different," said Jumba, "these teleportation pods work on the same wavelength as Earth's telephone signals and emails. With these things, delivery that moves at speed similar to shell-bearing mollusk will be thing of the past."

"Won't that put hundreds of delivery companies out of business?" asked Angel.

Jumba slapped his forehead and said, "Aye! I knew I was forgetting something. If Jumba sells teleporters, he would receive lawsuits as if day after today does not exist. Earth lawyers are more terrible than most other lawyers from other planets." Jumba rubbed his chin and said, "Perhaps Jumba could sell teleporters to companies so they can charge people for teleportation. Is much safer for Jumba's securities and will make much more money. Of course, there are still bugs to work out."

"What bugs?" asked Lilo.

"Oh, the same bugs every new teleporters have. If two objects were teleported at same time, they would be fused together to strange creation. I have only managed to keep clothing and flesh from fusing so far."

"Ooh, I saw that in a movie where a guy fused with a fly," said Morph, "the effects were lousy, but the story and acting rocked. I gave it a thumb's up."

"Jumba is intrigued by movie plot, what is name of it?"

"The Fly," said Lilo, "I saw it last week on Horror Movie Friday."

"Jumba must get rental." He walked off towards another room to see if he could find a place on the Internet that could rent the movie. Before he left the lab, he said, "One more thing, do not play around teleporters. Problems could arise."

Lilo, Angel, and Morph looked at the teleporters.

"You think we can take a peek at what's inside those things?" asked Angel.

"Jumba said not to," said Lilo.

"Jumba said not to 'play around' them, he never said to not look in them," said Morph.

Lilo and Angel looked at each other.

"This is inviting a catastrophe," said Lilo.

"The teleporting controls are on the computer," said Angel, "we won't turn them on or anything. We'll just see what is inside, that's all."

"Can I look too?" asked Morph.

"You better wait here," said Lilo, "it's probably delicate."

Lilo and Angel walked over to the teleporter with the 1 on its door. They opened the door and looked inside. They saw a scanner on the floor to identify what was inside the chamber. The things on the side that resemble light-fixtures were most likely the part that dematerialized whatever was inside. "Doesn't look that special," said Lilo. They leaned in to see if there was anything else to it.

Suddenly, like a twist that was bound to happen in a movie, the two of them overexerted their center of balance and fell in. The door to the chamber closed behind them. They quickly got up and tried to open the door, only to find that the door didn't have a handle on this side. They both banged on the door and screamed for help. Fortunately, Morph was there to see it happen and quickly moved over to the controls to find the opening button. He looked around and found two round buttons side by side. Morph scanned them with his four eyes but couldn't quite tell which one was the one to open and which on was the one to start. He hesitated and finally said, "Push the button, Morph!" He pushed a button and the door to the teleporter opened. "Phew," said Morph, "that was close." But before Lilo and Angel could get out, Morph rested his blobby elbow on the other button. The door slammed shut and Morph said, "Oopsies!"

The teleporting chambers started warming up and a computer said, "Teleporting in thirty seconds."

Lilo looked at Angel and said, "Angel, in case we don't make through this, I want you to know you're the second closest non-related friend I've had, next to Stitch of course."

Angel in reply said, "Lilo, I use your hula skirt to floss my teeth."

"What?" cried Lilo.

Before Lilo could say anything more, Jumba entered the room and said, "I found it! And it has exclusive bonus features." He took one look at Lilo and Angel in one teleporting pod and heard the computer say, "Teleporting now." He only had enough time to say, "Oh blitznak," before the teleporter let off a bright flash.

The feeling that Lilo and Angel felt as they were being teleported was hard to explain. The best way to describe it was they were being force through a funnel that continued to narrow until there was barely enough room for them. Then they felt their bodies sort of overlap on the molecular level and merge. Now it seemed like their minds were being forced into a kind of tug of war with each other. Angel was strong but Lilo's longer experience in life and the memories of the people she knew prevailed over Angel. Suddenly the physical part of them shifted towards Lilo's side and there was a bright flash of light.

The teleporter marked with the 2 flashed brightly and Lilo's body rematerialized in it. Jumba quickly opened the door and said to Lilo, "Little girl, are you alright?"

Lilo sat up and groaned. She rubbed her head and said, "Yeah, but where's Angel?"

"I'm afraid she is inside you."

Lilo felt something in her mind and mentally probed it. It responded with Angel's voice, "Lilo, I'm sorry I got us into this."

Lilo looked at herself, half-expecting to be a horribly hideous mutated monster, but she resembled her normal self. "Why do I still look the same?" asked Lilo.

"Your human DNA is more stable than 6-2-4's. Therefore it is your form that is dominant. For the moment that is."

Suddenly Morph cut in, "Just for the record, it was an accident and I was only partially involved."

Jumba gave a short glare at Morph and continued, "Your body will continue to change as 6-2-4's DNA merges with your own."

"Can't we reverse what happened to us?" asked Lilo.

"I'm sorry little girl," said Jumba, "but teleporters are not designed for defusion."

"But you can do something eventually?" asked Lilo.

"Will take time to redesign pods to separate you two."

"How long?"

"I say minimum would be a week," said Jumba.
Unexpectedly, Angel's voice came out of Lilo's mouth, "Are you kidding? How can me and Stitch go on our date on Thursday like this?" Jumba and Morph looked quite surprised at Lilo. "Hey it's my body too, sort of," said Angel's voice.

Then Morph headed towards the door saying, "I'll go tell the others, you two get yourselves organized."

"Like we have anything else to do," said Lilo and Angel, disturbingly at the same time.

There's the first chapter of this new story. This is my first shot at a story involving Lilo being turned into an experiment and have an a romance with Stitch. I don't think think anyone's done a fusion before.

Let me clarify something for you about the timeline of this story. It isn't related to the Alien Ohana Extensions series, the AOE Sage, or even 'The Curse of the Werepire.' It's just a branch-off from Leroy & Stitch with my characters along for the ride. I just thought that I may as well do an actual Lilo/Stitch since everyone else is doing them. Just for the heck of it. Please review.

And one more thing, everybody have a Happy Valentine's Day. I hope you and your interests have a wonderful- Hunkahunka, keep your beak away from me!
