Hi to anyone reading this. Got me some free time and so I decided to update rather quickly. A little shorter

than last chap but I hope you find it good none the less. To my one reviewer inkykenrd thank you for taking

the time, it is always appreciated. To everyone else I hope your enjoying and now I don't own Disney

or BBC and have no affliation with either. Reviews super appreicated!

The door seemed so large to him, not just because of his tiny body but do to everything that lay behind it. From his vantage point behind him the Doctor watched with an intense curiosity. Why would an alien have such a strong attachment to an earthen island? He quickly thought back to the fact that he always returned to Great Britain so maybe it wasn't quite so strange. Finally Stitch's heart thundered in his chest yet another time and so he finally gained the courage to push open the doors.

Warm light flooded the small nook of the open Tardis and warm sea air came flowing in, it was clean and fresh, smelled of salt and surf and was just as he remembered it. A smile crept upon his small blue face which highlighted his various sharp teeth as he bolted from the Tardis at a speed he hadn't bothered with for decades. The Doctor's look of curiosity quickly turned to surprise then one of slight annoyance as he sprinted after him, why did they never sit still? Bolting around a corner but still bothering to hide himself just inside the foliage which lazed about all edges of the road he continued. Judging by the sun and the day in the week he knew just where she would be. He kept telling himself he should stop, seeing her would only hurt him in the long run and he couldn't even allow her to see him. But he needed to; with everything he needed her to be there on this day, the day before he first met her at the pound. Finally he turned the corner and he saw it, just as he remembered.

The sand was a golden white that nearly shimmered in the sun, the waves of deep clear aquamarine and azure rolled atop the beach darkening sand and scents that he had missed for so long filled his nostrils. Looking closely people surfed and…..there was the sunburned ice cream tourist! He had completely forgotten about him. All these things brought back wave upon wave of nostalgia to him, but his eyes kept scanning the beach looking for the only thing he truly cared about. His vantage point was hidden just beneath an aged palm and in its shadow he kept looking for her, his heart slowly feeling heavier every second he didn't see her. Then like the angel she was she appeared, sprinting and nearly tripping over the beach a peanut butter sandwich in one hand and her backpack in the other.

He had to bite his lip from openly crying, she was so young, she was his Lilo and he finally got to see her again. She was so full of life and carefree in that moment, he wanted to run up to her, he would have given anything to have a day with her, to make new memories. He didn't dare, he knew how delicate time was from experience, he couldn't do anything that could hurt her, never her. He just sat contentedly as she swam and handed away the sandwich to Pudge the Fish. A rustle came from the bush behind him and the Doctor emerged looking quite haggard.

"Never…..run….again. Your...so fast." The doctor quickly realized that not even a drop of Stitch's attention was on him, so peering over the small creature he looked to see what he was watching. It was a little girl, did he know her? One look at the amount of emotion on the little guys face said yes. The doctor was shocked, at this point his companions would normally charge someone from the past and he would need to explain the dangers of changing the timeline. The small blue creature just sat there watching, a look of profound sadness and contentment on his face. Suddenly Stitch voiced a question to the Doctor which caught him off guard.

"How you just watch? Gaba, keeps you from changing past to get future just right? Why…why do they have to leave?" His last point stuck into the Doctor, he still didn't know. He figured it out finally, he knew this girl and judging by his age of 83 he had probably watched her grow old. He wanted to try and comfort the small creature but he didn't know how, because even he, the great Doctor hadn't figured out how to cope with such a long lifespan. Companions came and went like ocean waves, in and out of those great blue doors and they never stayed. Finally the Doctor responded.

"It's hard to watch. It's the hardest thing you can ever do to just stand there. But it has to be done, if we change the timeline were responsible for it, for everyone that might not be born and everyone who might live and die. Maybe we shouldn't have come here, come on, let's go back to the Tardis." The doctor motioned and Stitch was about to follow when he stopped and a thought crossed his mind. A devious thought if ever there was one. The doctor felt a quick tug at the bottom of his coat and bent down to face Stitch who had a look to his face that the Doctor wasn't certain he liked.

"Can Stitch pretend to be past Stitch? I know when meega not around so if meega went there could Stitch talk to her?" It wasn't healthy, the Doctor knew that much, the universe would probably be fine, it liked to snap things back into place wherever the Tardis was concerned. Technically he could….one look at the pleading eyes told him how desperately he wanted it. He made his face grow serious, or at least as serious as he could make it as he addressed Stitch.

"You couldn't tell her anything and you can't change anything so just…be careful. When you try to change the past things can become worse than when they started. Come on, let's head for the Tardis and you tell me the date." Stitch's heart became ecstatic, he could talk to her, more so, he could hold her. It would be perfect; he would make sure of that.

Stitch gazed impressed at the large stone structure, he had never been here in his own time, Lilo's university. For four years she had stayed away at University while he went to work for the Galactic Federation. He hadn't visited and it was one of his great regrets, a regret which was about to be rectified. He turned for one last questioning look at the Doctor to ensure he wouldn't unravel all of time accidently. A smile and nod were the Doctors response and he watched contentedly as he walked back into his box to do some research on his newest travelling companion.

Stitch couldn't remember what room had been hers, she told him once. He desperately wracked his brain to recall the number and hall. There was a six in it and the hall name had been a kind of bird he thought. Sparrow Hall, or, suddenly he saw the sign for Folson Hall and new it was right. Not a bird's name. He quickly scanned to make certain he hadn't yet been seen and clambered up the walls peeking into windows and using his nose to see if he could find some hint of her.

20, she was twenty years old and still she held onto her precious doll Skrump. Sitting on her bed and looking at the pictures all in there frames and remembering all the times she had had. There he was with that big toothy smile that could always cheer her, the blue fur and tall ears that made her heart jump whenever he was around. It had been two years since she had seen or spoken to him but she knew full well when she was done he would be right there waiting for her. She couldn't wait. University was a fantastic time, with friends and activities around every corner, when she wasn't neck deep in a textbook that is. Still she found herself talking with her mirror reflection now that her roommate was gone.

"So you have the rest of the day to yourself now. Do we sit and mope or head out and do something fun….. Sit and mope it is! Errgh why can't things be different. Why couldn't you have come with me Stitch, we could have stayed up late talking like we used to. Uggh why couldn't I just like normal guys! No, it has to be a blue furred alien from another world! Ugggh Maybe when I go back I should…..no don't be stupid, were not even the right species and he's never liked me that way. Best Friends forever though, that's pretty awesome I guess. Yeah, I'll get over it soon. Yeah really soon." As Lilo finished her little rant she was blissfully unaware of a small blue bundle of fur just under her outdoor windowsill with a most shocked and horrified expression. He had covered his mouth with one of his extra arms to keep himself from shouting in surprise over what he heard. With one last small peak at the girl he'd known for so long he climbed back down the building and sprinted to the Tardis as fast as he could, a plethora of new thoughts now surging through him. Foremost, he wished he hadn't come.

The Doctor was quite surprised at what he saw, the readings he had taken from Stitch he uploaded to a central computer to see if he could find some trace of the creature in history. What he had found wasn't pleasant. He read and reread the little green monitor trying to match the monstrosity it mentioned to the little sad and hopeful ball of fur he had met.

"Experiment 626, designed by Dr. Jumba Jookiba was a genetic experiment created with the sole purpose of destroying all things he comes into contact with. A predilection for attacking urban centres first he is nearly unstoppable. Capable of lifting 3000 times his own weight, being bullet proof, fire proof and nearly indestructible he considered one of the most dangerous creatures in existence. Was to have been imprisoned on a desert asteroid but escaped and fled to a still developing alien world name "Earth"" No other files presented themselves other than a small video clip of his trial. The Doctors jaw dropped as he heard the words that Stitch used, he felt even his stomach churn.

The Doctor suddenly heard the Tardis door fly open and saw him with his back on the now shut door as he slowly slid down it a look on his face the doctor couldn't accurately sum up. Whoever this creature was it wasn't the same one he'd seen in the video, this one had emotions that were quickly overwhelming it. The Doctor did what he could to help.

"So how did it go?" Stitch just started shaking his head and quickly fell back into his own mind as it churned through the new information. Lilo liked him…..like that!? He had always loved Lilo, well after the whole human shield incident. But like a best friend, like family, along the way his emotions got stronger for her but he knew it couldn't work out, his supercomputer mind had deduced that in seconds. She was human, and good, far too good for him. He was an alien, heck she towered over him now and he just broke everything. That was just the second reason though…..It had been the first time he had realized she couldn't stay with him. She had gotten taller; she was about twice as tall as Stitch when he asked the question to his creator. How long would I live? The answer broke his heart, he couldn't stay with her, she would become old in front of him, it was a nightmare even back then and worst of all it had come true.

Suddenly remembering the truth, that Lilo, his Lilo was dead brought back the depression that had been upon him on the asteroid, stronger than ever it tore at him. His eyes blinked rapidly as small tears slowly started to leak out, he never cried, it had only been when people he knew were gone when he cried. Slowly he curled into a ball and started shaking just the slightest as the Doctor watched, a saddened frown etched upon his face, he knelt down and tried petting his head. He hadn't meant to make him so sad when he asked the question, what had happened out there he pondered? It wounded him terribly and the kind of wound he recognized very well himself. Walking to the controls he flipped the switch and felt the Tardis shudder, they were going somewhere to cheer him up and the Doctor had just the place in mind. A place who's name quite literally translated to Volatile Circus, if that couldn't get his mind off of whatever had occurred then the Doctor was confident nothing ever would.

Far away in another time and place an old face stares at photographs as she lets a few tears slide down her wrinkled and wearied face. They fall onto the glass with a slight plit and as she wipes at them a bright blue smiling face appears. Her Stitch, wherever he was she wished him all the happiness she could. She missed him every day. Looking from the hospital window at the few stars coming out and visible from a small city skyline she catches sight of a small shooting star and makes a wish, a simple lovely wish for the one thing she desired more than anything in this world.

"Please bring my angel back to me." With that she closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep, where she was young and he was always at her side.
