Chapter Four: Myrtle Meets Lilith

When Stitch noticed Lilo's hand in his, he smiled and squeezed it gently. "(Angel…she didn't hurt you. Did she?)" Lilo shivered at the name. "(Not physically, no.)" Lilo mumbled as she wondered what it was like for Stitch when he glitched out. "(Stitch…I think it was a little like when you were…)" She trailed off. It was still painful to think of that time. "(I'm ok, Lilo.)" Stitch said as he sensed why the girl was troubled. "(I've never felt better.)" He told her as he put a hand on her shoulder. "(Are you?)" Stitch asked as he looked her in the eyes. The pink experiment shivered again, but this time tears stood her eyes. "(Part of me wanted to forget who I was and destroy.)" Lilo said as she hugged Stitch tightly. "(Then, I thought of you…)" Lilo blushed slightly at her admission. "(If I had given up, Hämsterviel would have taken me and made me…)" Stitch glared at her lightly. "Naga! (Lilo, don't think about 'What if?'. Think…about…)"

Stitch's glare hardened to its fullest as he looked past Lilo to Myrtle and her cronies. "It's Weirdlo's dog," Myrtle smirked as she looked around. "Ran away from home…" Myrtle noticed Lilo then. "...or did you go after a bitch in heat?" She finished with a sneer. The other girls looked at each other, shocked. Lilo glared at Myrtle and opened her mouth to speak, but a motion too quick for the humans to catch from Stitch told her to wait. "Gigi…" Stitch growled lowly. Myrtle's eyes narrowed. The fire-headed girl knew Stitch was an alien as was her "dog" Gigi. "What about her?" Myrtle growled. Myrtle's three "friends" exchanged looks. "She's talking to Lilo's dog now?" One asked. Another answered. "Maybe Lilo's weirdness is contagious." At that thought, the three took a half-step back from Myrtle as one. Myrtle was too worried about her dog to notice. "What about my dog is so important, Stitch?" Stitch raised an eyebrow and fought a laugh. (I have her now! She never talks to me directly.) He thought triumphantly. "Take…us…to Gigi." Stitch said calmly in careful English. Myrtle looked back to see her posse had completely abandoned her at this point. "Fine…" She tried to growl, but it turned into a dejected sigh.

Once they walked to Myrtle's house, Mrs. Edmonds met her daughter at the door. Then, she saw Stitch and another "dog". The woman smiled. "Hey, Myrtle honey, why is Lilo's dog here?" Myrtle sighed. "He lost Lilo and came looking for me. I'd figure I would take care of him until she got back." Myrtle said innocently. Lilo glared at her former friend. Were we ever friends to begin with? Lilo questioned in her mind. Lilo lightly shrugged off the question and smiled as she got an idea. Lilo silently walked out and, finding she could climb walls as well as Stitch, climbed into the house's attic. Her hearing heard Gigi muttering to herself and lightly pacing on the bed. "Where's Myrtle? She should be about home now." Lilo smiled. I wonder if Myrtle knows Gigi can talk. A smile came to her lips. No, that would terrify her. Lilo answered herself before she climbed through the vent and plopped down on the bed. The sudden shift in the comforter startled the dog-like experiment and made her start barking at Lilo.

The commotion in Myrtle's room roused Mrs. Edmonds to action. "What in the name of…" She said as she started to walk to Myrtle's room. "I'll handle it, Mom. You know how Gigi can be." Mrs. Edmonds simply nodded. "What is it, girl?" Gigi glared at Lilo. "Alright, Yapper! Shut up!" Lilo said with a glare as Myrtle and Experiment 007 froze at the voice that came from the strange pink alien. "L-Lilo?!" Myrtle asked in shock that quickly turned to terror. "Yeah, you called me a bitch to my face." Lilo said with a glare. Myrtle paled. "What happened to you?!" Lilo sighed and shook her head. "I've always been like this, but I grew up thinking I was human." Myrtle paled even more as she thought of all the times Lilo could have kicked her butt but didn't. "That actually explains a lot." Myrtle said with a look at Lilo. Lilo was about to ask what Myrtle meant when Stitch walked up the ceiling and landed next to Lilo. For a moment Myrtle stared in shock at the pair. They actually look cute together with Lilo in her natural form. Myrtle was surprised as the thought ran through her mind. She was even more shocked when she heard laughing coming from Gigi. "I knew it! I just KNEW it!" Gigi proclaimed happily. "You CAN TALK?!" Gigi rolled her eyes. "Of course, I can talk." Myrtle simply fainted at that realization while Lilo and Stitch grinned at Myrtle.

In Gantu's ship, the hulking alien was fuming. "How could 6-2-3 resist 6-2-4?" He grumbled. Ruben chuckled. "You know what always helps me think?" He asked. "…a nice PBJ!" Gantu glared at Ruben. "That won't help me, you foolish Trog!" He growled in anger. "Well, at least the video phone is out and you won't have to worry about Hamsterwheel." Gantu chuckled slightly. "That's true, but it doesn't help me capture those abominations!" Ruben shivered. He HATED that word- "Abomination". That word sounded as if it was screaming for his existence to die every time Gantu said it. "Whoah…we're helping you here! I want a little respect for us!" Gantu sneered at Ruben. "Respect?! HA! If you weren't useful, I would have destroyed you and 6-2-4 long ago." Ruben glared at the giant. "Watch it, Blubber Mouth! I will not have you disrespect Angel around me." Angel smiled as she saw a fire ignite in her Boojiboo's eyes. (Wait a second…) The Siren Experiment thought as epiphany struck her. (That's it!) "(Hey, guys!)" No one heard her as Ruben picked up Gantu and slammed him against a bulkhead. Angel tried again. "(Ruben, are you listening to me?!)" No response came from the mustard-colored experiment. Angel closed her eyes and stormed over to the guys. Then, she sang her song, and Gantu stopped fighting. "(Now that I have your attention…)" She growled at the boys. "(I have a plan to take down Lilo and Stitch for good.)" She said with an evil laugh.
