Friends Are Always There for You
A/N This is my first Lilo/Stitch fic. I am a fan but I don't let others know. My fave experiments are Reuben, Leroy, 627 and Spooky. I was afraid of posting it but my sister said I should. I also like Stitch but I love both sides of his personality but I love his bad boy side. This fic is about friendship and finding a place where you belong. It also involves Reuben's young son Miko. I hope you enjoy.
I got the idea while listening to audio from the Stitch show in American Disneyland on an Inside the Magic pod cast.
It was an normal day in Hawali but somebody was sad.
In a house like the others in Kauai, a young girl was lonely. She had wispy brown hair, sea green eyes, slender and wore black clothes and into fantasy books.
Her name was Amore.
She'd been brought to Hawali by her Aubt Lilo but she was moving in with a foster parent.
Her parents had abandoned her as a baby and didn't want her.
She was thirteen.
She had a good heart like her aunt but was misunderstood by other kids.
But she loved hearing about her aunt's stories about aliens and loved her aubt's pet alien Stitch.
He was the girl's only friend when she'd been living with her aunt until things were sorted out.
"Amore you okay?" Lilo asked as the girl nodded nervous.
"Aunt Lilo....... why does this man and his daughter want me?
Why can't I stay with you and Stitch?" the girl asked softly.
"Because I want to but....... it would be hard because I'm on the Galatic Council." Lilo answered.
Stitch was in the back seat and saw sadness in Amore's eyes.
"Amore......... ohana mean family, right?" he asked.
"Well....... yeah." Amore admitted.
"Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.
Amore may be broken family but can fix it with new one like I did." the blue fluffy alien told her.
"Stiych I want a Mom and Dad like every other kid but I want to be with Aunt Lilo and you guys.
It'd be fun like in her stories." Amore replied sadly holding back tears as Lilo was putting gas in the car.
She noticed Stitch talking to Amore.
She'd a feeling Amore was upset about going to a foster home.
"I wanted to keep you Amore but things can get dangerous in our ohana.
I know your parents wanted me to be your care taker but I can't.
One day you'll understand." the twenty two year old thought sighing.
Amore was asleep in the back seat of the car.
She was dreaming about something.....
Lilo smiled seeing Stitch watch Amore sleep.
"Lilo....... why Amore not part of ohana?" he asked softly.
The twenty two year old sighed at her alien husband.
"I-I don't want her to be hurt by the likes of Hamsterviel.
Her parents would never forgive me if she got hurt or worse.
Besides in her new foster family, she'll be safe." Lilo answered him but there were tears in her hazel eyes.
"Lilo...... Stitch sorry." he replied softly.
"It's okay Stitch.
Let's just go home, okay?" Lilo answered as the car started off again.......
Amore woke up as the car stopped at Lilo's childhood home. Amore would be staying there with Lilo and the reat of her ohana and in the morning, she would take her niece to her foster home. Lilo had changed since she was a little girl. She was older and looked like Nani but also married to Stitch. Their feelings had grown strong for each other as Lilo had grown older and realised their love was powerful.
But the Grand Council Woman had allowed Lilo to join the Galatic Council when she was twenty one.
"Amore..... you okay?" Lilo asked the thirteen year old as the girl grabbed her back pack getting out of the car.
"I'm fine Aunt Lilo." she answered softly, holding back tears in her hazel eyes.
Stitch watched as they went into the house and followed them.
Nani smiled seeing Lilo walk in followed by Amore along with Jumba. She'd gotten married to David and had a young daughter named Alana who was five. She hoped that Amore was okay. She'd heard how Amore's parents had died when the girl was twelve.
"Hey Aunt Nani!
How're things?" Amore asked as Alana was playing tag with an experiment Jumba had made for the young girl.
"Mommy!
Lani and I are having fun but who's that?
She looks like Aunt Elora." the five year old asked her mother.
"This is Amore, she's Aunt Elora's daughter.
She's spending the night with us." Nani told her young daughter.
"Yeah!" the girl said as she and Lana were rolling around on the floor giggling and laughing.
Amore was in awe at the purple furred alien playing with the young girl.
Lana had blue eyes, light purple fur, blunt claws and soft ears like Stitch's.
Jumba was watching Amore from the space ship outside in the back yard.
"So this is bigger girl's niece huh?
Things are going to get busy around here." the scientist thought....
Amore sighed as she was in Lilo's old room unpacking as Nani came in.
She could tell the girl was sad about going to a foster home.
"Amore you'll be okay.
You remind me of Lilo when she was younger.
I'm sure you'll find your one true place where you'll belong." she told her as she touched the locket around her fair skinned neck.
Her parents had given it to her on her twelfth birthday and had a family picture inside it.
Tears were in Amore's hazel eyes.
Nani then decided to leave her alone for a while.
In the kitchen Lilo was ordering pizza while Stitch was with Jumba in the space ship.
"What's wrong Dad?" he asked Jumba.
"I've a feeling Hamsterviel's up to something and it involves Amore.
We have to keep a close eye on her, okay 626?" the scientist told him.
"Ihb!
Stutch will maks sure Amore safe." the blue furred alien told him.
"That's good son." Jumba replied as they heard Nani yelling at Lana.
Both young experiment and Alana had been finger painting and decided to finger paint on the celing.
Stitch along with Amore laughed at that entering the kitchen.
Amore was very quiet during dinner but Lilo understood as the girl left after eating a few pieces of pizza. She went to the room and lay on the bed. She was listening to music on her head phones but was sad.
"I want a friend, somebody who's not afraid of me.
Somebody who understands me....." she thought as the night wore on........
Rebuen was scared as he woke up in a cell in Hamsterviel's lab slong with Gantu.
He watched as a teenage hamster like alien approached him.
"Where is the Earth girl, the one who thwarted my father's plans with 626?" he asked Reuben.
"I don't know and I'm not talking to you hamster boy!" Reuben said angrily remembering what the alien had done to his son Miko.
Maru Hamsterviel had sent Reuben's son to Earth.
"Reuben it's okay.
I'm sure he'll be okay." Gantu reassured him as tears were in Reuben's eyes......
Lilo woke up at one in the morning after being shook awake by Stitch.
"What's wrong?" she asked rubbing the sleep from her hazel eyes.
"Amore gone!" Stitch told his wife.
"Where did she go?" she asked him.
"Stitch doesn't know." he answered.
"Go find her please!
I don't know what trouble she might get into." Lilo told him.
"Ibh Lilo." he replied leaving.
Amore felt better as she walked into the forest. The dark night emboding her feelings as she walked through the forest but she heard something whimpering. It was coming from behind a bush she was approaching.
"Meega help me!" the voice cried.
Amore then came to the bush and was surprised.
Curled up on the ground was an experiment curled up in a ball.
It had fluffy green fur, deep and soulful brown eyes, blunt claws and small slightly sharp teeth wiith small soft ears.
Amore couldn't help smiling at it.
"Hey it's okay little experiment.
I'm Amore, Aunt Lilo's niece.
Here." she said taking something out of her pocket.
It was an Oreo cookie.
The experiment smiled a little and nuzzled her as his blunt claws touched her sleeve.
"Meega friend.
Amore nice." he said in a soft sounding voice.
Amore giggled at him.
Stitch heard that as he was on a tree nearby and gasped.
"Meega not believe it!
Another cousin!" he breathed smiling but decided to leave them alone for now.
Amore realised she had to leave but the experiment whimpered.
"Amore no go!" she heard him say.
"Okay I'll stay.
It's better than waiting for my Aunt to take me to a foster home." she muttered as the experiment fell asleep after Amore sang to him in Japanese.
Stitch decided to wait until morning..........
