Here's chapter 2, I hope you like it so far.

Flashback

"Lilo" Nani called "LIlo we're home!"

"Strange" she mumbled "she usually yells back, is something wrong?"

Wondering if she was sleeping, Nani quietly walked to the platform and pressed the button for it to go up. Upon reaching the room, Nani saw no sign of Lilo sleeping, or of her being there at all. She then noticed a small piece of paper on the floor. As she read it her eyes grew wide.

"Stitch" she yelled "Lilo ran away! We have to look for her!"

They searched for hours, but came up fruitless, worried sick and angry for her sudden leaving.

Lilo P.O.V

I woke up and groaned, I needed to get out of here before I hurt stitch. I sat up carefully (trying not to wake up stitch) and transformed into my human form. My hair was a little longer, and I was taller, but I still looked mostly the same. I used my chameleon powers to turn into a transparent mass. I walked quietly through the house, looking for a way out. Sighing, I plopped down in the make-shift lab downstairs, never once letting myself be seen. I fiddled with the collar enough to make it so I could use my powers, but I'm stuck to some force field around the house and airship.

My moving must have woken up Jumba (who was asleep at his work desk) because his head popped up and searched the room. After a few minutes, he said

"Little girl, are you there?"

I let myself be seen and said "sorry, I needed to get away from it all for a while."

He looked me over, then asked "overwhelmed, little girl?"

I nodded, and replied "I'm not used to the thought of being home yet. I'm hoping to leave before I get too adjusted."

"You lie" he said, and I looked at him "when you wrote you leave us because you have to. You look at 626 like older earth girl does older earth male."

I blush, I knew for a fact he meant Nani and David.

"I correct seems" Jumba says triumphantly

"You are" I replied quietly "I refuse to break up my Ohana over something as stupid as this crush of mine."

Jumba frowned and said "they no mind you who love little girl. Tell him you should, before another experiment take him."

I shook my head "better her than me. Anyone would be better than me. We're Ohana, I can't love him that way. Its better he never knows

Jumba stood up and walked over to me, and I could tell he decided that he was going to change the subject "how come bout powers, little girl?"

I abruptly turned and said "I'm going for a walk to the ship and back, I'll be back soon" and quickly stride out of the room, leaving a puzzled Jumba behind.

The walk was pleasant, and I was shocked to see that the border of the collar went all the way to the cliff a few minutes away from the ship, which I found out when I shocked my finger by holding it over the edge. I look at my finger, and noticed a small burn appearing there. Just why were they making this for stitch? Or was it just for Leroy, and they used stitch's designs? Now that I think of it, is Leroy still in his pod, or not? Oh well, if something happens, they'll probably tell me. Or… maybe not, I'll just have to see.

"Lilo!" a voice called, and I could tell it was stitch

"Over here!" I yelled back "I'm watching the ocean!"

I'm not sure why I yelled that part, but when Stitch appears with that goofy grin on his face, thoughts fly away and my hearts starts pounding. Deciding the best course of action, I quickly turn to the ocean and make sure to no look at him anymore.

"Stitch remember time we go here to look at yucky water" Stitch said "we laugh, and Stitch felt home then. No feel at home without Lilo."

I swallowed invisibly, and said "that's part of Ohana, they make you complete."

"Lilo Miss ohana?' stitch asked "Lilo miss… stitch?"

I nodded "I never said I didn't" I replied softly "one never forgets someone they love, as family or as a friend, or both."

Stitch pulled me into a friendly hug, and I tensed for a second, and then I relaxed. I wasn't used to physical contact; I forgot how it felt after 3 years. My heart started pumping fast, and I could feel my face start to heat up. This wasn't going well, my instincts were heating up.

I know only one major thing about my species, how we choose life mates. We need to get agreement of course, we need to leave our mark. A nip to the neck or a claw mark on the chest does it, but I'd need to draw blood.

That's another good reason to stay away, I'm not going to hurt him physically either.

The blood's roaring in my ears, and I quickly let go and walk away, saying "I'm going to get something to eat."

'Darn it' I yelled in my mind 'calm down, stop overreacting to stupid things. Stupid life mate thing.'

I avoided stitch like the plague the rest of the day. Can ya blame me? Not only was I feeling awkward, my mate instincts were on hyper drive. I turned more than a few trees into wood chips out of frustration. I slept outside that night, it took them an hour to relent enough to let me sleep in the hammock in the yard, even though I begged to go into the forest, I missed sleeping in the nice, big trees. When you live wild, I guess you pick up some quirks from living in the wild.

The swinging of the hammock was enough to rock me to sleep though, under the beautiful stars.

Jumba's P.O.V

I am not sure what amused me more, the fact that the earth girl begged for full earth hour to sleep outside, or how 626 was pacing and watching from window entire time she did. Everyone watch as 626 literally climbed walls to get better view of little girl on hammock. It not bad that she sleep outside, she seemed to be liking outside better than inside.

Stitch glanced out the window again, and then dragged a chair to window and sat, making sure no one attack. I laugh, 626 no be sleeping tonight…
