I do not own Lilo and Stitch; if I did, I would be rich.

Chapter 2

Walking through the town, Lilo and Stitch enjoyed the cool October day. Even though most people were wearing a sweater, Lilo was wearing a half sleeve shirt, shorts and sandals. Due to the formula Jumba gave Lilo so she could turn back to being human, she retained enough experiment DNA for her to be unaffected by the weather, no matter how hot or cold it was. Still, she felt a bit out of place, being the only person not wearing at least pants.

As the couple walked through the town, Lilo was the first to notice her friends talking in a group. "Hi guys" said Lilo

The five girls turned to see who was calling them. Once they recognized Lilo, Victoria, Mertle, Yuki, Elena, and Teresa ran towards there friend. "Hi Lilo" said the girls in unison.

"Hi. What are you girls doing in town?" asked Lilo.

"We were just looking at the new designs at the clothing store. What about you?" asked Mertle

"Nothing much. Just checking on some of the other experiments and then I was going to look to see if you girls wanted to hang out or something" said Lilo

"That sounds great. How about you come with us to look at some of the new designs? We need to look our best now that we are freshman" said Mertle.

Lilo agreed to go with them. They all started there first year in junior high this September and for some reason, what a person wore to school become very important to ones reputation. Not that it mattered much to Lilo; she had all the friends she needed, but she still decided to stop wearing her muumuu and sandals and started wearing pants, shirts and sneakers like everyone else. As the girls walked into the clothing store, they looked in amazement at the new clothes that were said to be all the rage. Stitch followed them, but did not see what the big deal was about clothing. "Maybe it's because I don't need them. I guess the only reason Lilo still wears clothes is because she might stand out way too much if she walked around naked in her human form" thought Stitch.

Lilo stopped looking at the clothing and turned her attention at Stitch. He knew from the way she was looking at him that she knew what he was thinking. Since Lilo had recovered from Apolline's control, she and Stitch had began to develop a telepathic link with each other; Lilo no longer had to communicate by reaching out to Stitch, rather, they were able to sense each other at all times. Unfortunately, this was not one time Stitch was happy about it. "Stitch, what ever you just thinking?" sad Lilo telepathically.

"Nothing" though Stitch quickly

"Don't lie to me. You were thinking of me naked as a human" thought Lilo

"No I wasn't. I was only thinking of why you wear clothes as a human" said Stitch defensively.

"Which means that you wondered how I looked naked" thought Lilo

As Lilo and Stitch "talked" telepathically, the girls continued to look around the store. It wasn't that they were oblivious to what was happening; they just chose to let the two settle their problems themselves. Whatever the reason was for their argument, the girls knew that this wasn't the first one, nor would it be the last. After scanning around for about ten minutes, the girls dragged Lilo out of the store while Stitch followed nervously.

As the girls walked around, they saw a sign for the hiring of a potential construction worker. "Hey Lilo, you and Stitch would be great at this job" said Victoria.

"Victoria, don't you think they would be better as destruction workers?" asked Mertle. The girls laughed at the joke, but were quickly silenced when they were floating off the ground. Luckily for Lilo, no one was around to see what she was doing.

"No fair Lilo, I thought you won't use your powers on us" said Victoria.

"I said that I wouldn't use my telepathy on you; I never said anything about my telekinesis. Anyway, I can't use it too long in my human form" said Lilo as she lowered the five girls back to the ground carefully. Once the girls were safe, Lilo stumbled onto her butt. "Using my powers in my human form really tire me out. I guess I still need to keep practicing"

"Well, don't get too powerful in your human form. So, who wants to go see a movie?" asked Victoria.

The others answered with a yes, but they needed to go home to get some money. The girls agreed to meet back in front of the movie theater in an hour. Lilo and Stitch ran back to the house, trying not to go too fast so that they would get the attention of others. Once back at the house, they were greeted by David, who was a bit surprised to see Lilo and Stitch back so soon. "What are you two doing back so soon?" asked David

"Stitch and I need money for the movies. Can we have some please?" asked Lilo

David thought about it for a moment while Lilo and Stitch gave him looks of pleading. Not one to deny his sister in law anything, he took out his wallet. "I'll give money for both of you, but I want you two to come home right after and help clean up, okay?" said David

"Ok" said Lilo and Stitch in unison as they ran out the door.

As David walked upstairs to help his wife, he was confronted by Jumba. "David, have you seen Lilo and Stitch around?" asked Jumba.

"Yeah, he and Lilo just left for the movies. Why?" asked David

"Oh, no particular reason. Bye" said Jumba as he walked back to his ship, leaving David a bit confused as he continued up the stairs.

Lilo and Stitch ran back into to time to wait for the others to meet up with them. They knew they were going to be rather early at the speed they were going, so they decided to make a pit stop along the way. In the forest, a hut like house stood where two experiments were currently living. Lilo and Stitch knocked on the front door, hoping they were home. After a few seconds, an experiment much like Stitch, yet, at the same time so different, opened the door. "Stitch, Lilo, how nice to see the two if you again" said Reuben

"Hi Reuben. We dropped by to say hi" said Lilo.

"I hope you came by to say more than that. Come in, come in" said Reuben.

Lilo and Stitch walked into the hut; it was much nicer looking than the last time they were there; new furniture was added, pictures were hanging from the walls, and several other important items, such as a refrigerator, where recently installed. Stitch turned his attention off the house and towards Reuben. "So Reuben, where's Angel at?" asked Stitch. Since the Hamsterviel incident when Reuben protected Angel from what he thought was a kill attack from Apolline, Angel and Reuben had started going out, and eventually got married.

"She's currently trying to put the baby to sleep. I tell you, that kid inherited Angel's fiery temper" said Reuben

Lilo remembered seeing the baby experiment for the first time; when Angel had confronted Jumba about her being impregnated, the scientist, along with the Pelekai family, helped her out. Jumba was particularly helpful, especially since he wanted to see how long the pregnancy would last and what the baby would be like. The baby was born about two weeks ago; it turned out that Angel was only pregnant for twelve weeks before giving birth to a girl. The baby looked greatly like Angel except for belly being a light yellow instead of being white. Jumba theorized that she would begin to look a bit more like Reuben as she developed. Angel joked about how she had to make sure the baby's belly did get too big from the sandwiches she would probably be making and eating sandwiches, just like her dad. "So Reuben, has you and Angel come up with a name yet?" asked Lilo

"Actually, Angel and me decided that you should have the honor of naming the baby. You always did have a knack at giving the perfect name to an experiment" said Reuben.

"Well, I'll have to give the name a thought. I have to make sure it's just right for your child" said Lilo.

"Take your time" said Reuben. Suddenly, a loud scream was heard, causing the hut to shake greatly. "Excuse me". With that, Reuben ran to another room, probably to help his wife calm their child down.

A few minutes later, the screaming came to a complete stop. After a few moments of silence, Reuben, along with Angel, came back to where Lilo and Stitch were. "What exactly just happened? It felt like an earthquake just came by" said Stitch

"It's nice to see you to. That was our daughter, she has the power of manipulate sound. So far she can only create sonic booms whenever she screams" said Angel

"Sonic booms? That's it" said Lilo

"What's it" asked Stitch

"The name for the baby. How about we call he Siryn?" asked Lilo

Reuben and Angel looked at each other and agreed with the name. "Siryn it is then. So, now that the name has been decided, what are you two lovebirds doing here?" asked Angel

"We decided to drop by and see how you are doing before Stitch and I go meet up with my friends" said Lilo

"That's nice. Would you two like anything to eat or drink?" asked Angel

"No thank you" said Lilo

"Do you have any coconut cake and coffee?" asked Stitch

"Stitch, that's rude of you" said Lilo

"It's ok. I just recently got a fresh coconut cake from the bakery. I have to say, I'm surprised that the people on the island seem to find it normal for an experiment to go into a bakery and order a cake. I guess after seeing all the experiments for so many years it became normal. Give me a minute while I make some coffee" said Angel.

"Can I have some coconut cake and coffee as well Angel?" asked Reuben

"Go get it yourself. You have legs" said Angel as she walked into the kitchen.

Stitch and Lilo looked at Reuben, wondering why she appeared mad. "In case you're wondering, she hasn't had much sleep since the baby was born. Unlike me, Angel is not a heavy sleeper. So has anything been going on with you two?" asked Reuben

"Not much. Stitch and me are still together, I'm currently in junior high school, and Nani is five months pregnant. That's really it. How about you and Angel?" asked Lilo.

"Not bad. Hands have been kind of full with Siryn, but it is to be expected with a baby. I have to say, I kind of miss not hanging out with Gantu. Since Angel and me came back to Earth, I haven't seen or heard from the big guy. He must be on some big mission or something" said Reuben.

"How did Angel find it traveling through space with you and Gantu?" asked Stitch

"She was a bit untrusting of Gantu at first, given their history, but after a week they got along rather well, and the trip was much more fun" said Reuben

"Why did you and Angel come back to Earth when she became pregnant? Not that I'm complaining, it's just that it seems like the both of you could have continued hanging with Gantu" said Lilo.

"Well, Angel said that she wanted to be with her cousins and family. She knew that you and the others would want to see the baby and that you would be able to help her if she needed it. She is so worried that she may not be fit as a mother, and since you and your older sister seem to have a mother-daughter relationship, she thought that it would be best to be on Earth" said Reuben.

"I'm sure Angel will be a good mother" said Lilo

"Thanks Lilo" said Angel as she walked into the living room with two cups of coffee and two slices of coconut cake. "Being a mother for the first time isn't easy; a baby doesn't come with instructions, so I don't know what to always do in every situation"

"Did you talk to Jumba about what you can do to make it easier on you? I mean, he did create 629 experiments" said Lilo

"629? I thought there were only 628" said Angel

"I believe I count as an experiment" said Lilo

Angel slapped her head. "Of course. I always forget when I see you in human form" said Angel

"That's ok. Anyway, did you ask Jumba for any advice?" asked Lilo.

"I did, but Jumba was not too helpful. Since Siryn is the first experiment to be born rather than created, so Jumba was not too sure what to expect" said Angel

"Well, I'm sure it will come to you and Reuben. Listen, not to be rude but we are suppose to meet some friends at the movie theater. We'll drop by again soon" said Lilo as she got up along with Stitch, who was finishing up his coffee.

"Take care you two. See you soon" said Reuben as he and Angel waved goodbye.

As Lilo and Stitch left the house, the two ran to the movie theater, hoping not to be late. As luck would have it, they managed to be the first two there, but were shortly followed by the arrival of the other girls. The girls and Stitch talked about which movie they wanted to see and decided on a new horror film called "Evolution". Normally they would not have been allowed in, but Lilo used her telepathy to make others see them as being eighteen year olds. Nani would not have approved of this, but she technically wasn't controlling others, so Lilo felt it was ok to o every now and then.

Two hours later, Stitch and the girls left the theaters. The girls were scared, yet excited, at seeing the move, while Stitch was simply intrigued. "That was some movie. I almost those the heroes were done for" said Victoria.

"Yeah, that monster just kept growing stronger and stronger" said Mertle

The girls continued to talk for a few minutes before splitting up and going there own ways. Lilo and Stitch walked home; for some reason Stitch was worried about Lilo. "Lilo" said Stitch

"Yeah Stitch?" asked Lilo

"Are you ok?" asked Stitch

"Yeah, why?" asked Lilo

"You haven't said anything since we left the movies. For some reason, you looked a bit scared from seeing that movie" said Stitch

"Well yeah, it was a horror movie" said Lilo

"Lilo, you know what I mean. I think you are still worried about the Ultimate" said Stitch

Lilo stopped walking, as did Stitch. "I can't help but feel something bad is going to happen soon. These dreams of Apolline, knowing the Ultimate is still alive; I'm scared of the same thing happening again. I don't want to have to confront that evil within again" said Lilo. She was shaking a bit, appearing to be on the verge of tears

Stitch hugged Lilo, calming her down. "Lilo, you are not the only one who has to worry about one's inner evil. Everyone has a dark side to them, what's important is that you don't let the darkness control you. As for the Ultimate, we'll cross that bridge if we have to" said Stitch.

"I know you're right, but I still can't shake this bad feeling" said Lilo as the two continued to hug. Once Lilo calmed down, Stitch separated from Lilo and they continued their way home.

Arriving at their house, they walked inside. To their surprise, they did not see David or Nani around. They walked into the kitchen to see Pleakley sweeping the floor. "Pleakley, have you seen David or Nani?" asked Lilo

Pleakley turned his attention off of the floor and towards the two in front of him. "David and Nani went out for a little while. They'll be back soon" said Pleakley. Just as Lilo and Stitch were about to leave, Pleakley spoke up again. "Oh, one more thing. Jumba wants to see you two when you have a moment. He's in his ship".

Lilo and Stitch walked back outside and towards Jumba's ship. They proceeded to knock, and a few moments later the main entrance opened to reveal the large purple alien. "Lilo, Stitch, please come in" said Jumba.

Lilo and Stitch walked into the ship, wondering why Jumba seemed so eager to see them. "Jumba, what is it you want to see us for?" asked Lilo.

"Can't Jumba want to see you two to see how you are doing?" asked Jumba

"I doubt it. You wanted us to see you about something in regards to us" said Lilo

Jumba smiled at Lilo's amazing perspective abilities. "As always, you are quite the smart girl. Nani has told me that you have been having bad dreams about Apolline resurfacing and killing the ones you love, am I correct?" asked Jumba

"Yes, I have had these dreams of killing everyone is the house for the last week. In my dreams, Apolline keeps telling me she is coming back and going to kill all that I care about in my own body" said Lilo

"Does anything else happen?" asked Jumba

"Apolline keeps saying that she is coming back and there is nothing anyone can do" said Lilo.

Jumba turns around and picks up metal collar. Showing it to Lilo, who is unsure what it is for, Jumba gives it to her. "I have been working on this device for some time. Ever since the Apolline incident, I have been toying around with a way for you to use your powers without fear of being overwhelmed by your dark side, who has named itself Apolline. With this device, I believe that you will be able to use your powers without fear of losing control. As I have said before, you are an omega level experiment, which means that you have unlimited potential. With this collar, you will be able to become stronger; however, this does not mean it will completely allow you to do whatever you want. If you lose control like you did against the Ultimate, there is still a chance that your dark side will emerge" said Jumba

Lilo sighed angrily at hearing that Apolline could still come back. "There must be some way to prevent that bitch from coming back, goddamn it" said Lilo, much to the shock of Stitch and Jumba. Realizing what she said, she felt a bit ashamed. "Sorry; it's just, living in fear of being controlled is hard to deal with, even with a loving family"

"I understand Lilo, but you need to remember, it's the love your family has for you that helped us prevail against Apolline. The love you and Stitch have was probably the most important factor in you being able to help us stop Apolline when you healed Reuben and Angel, as well as stopping her temporarily" said Jumba

Lilo smiled a little as she realized how her uncle helped her feel better. "Thanks Jumba" said Lilo

"You are welcome. As for your dreams, I will work on something to possibly help you be rid of the Apolline personality for good. For now, you and Stitch go have fun" said Jumba.

"Ok" said Lilo and Stitch as they left the lab, leaving Jumba to his thoughts on what to do next.
