Chapter 3
Lilo had woken from her dreams by 621 muttering in his sleep. Blinking the sleep out of her eyes, Lilo stood up and went over to the glass, shivering as her bare feet touched the smooth, cold metal, waking her up the rest of the way.
621 was tossing and turning in his sleep, as if having a terrible, terrible nightmare that he could wake up from.
"621?" Lilo softly called out.
621's eyes slowly opened. He yawned and began to rub them, sitting up a bit.
"What is it?" 621 asked sleepily.
"I-it's just that you looked like you were having a really bad dream." Lilo explained, suddenly very nervous.
"Not a dream... a memory." 621 replied, leaning his head back against the glass.
"What sort of memory?" Lilo asked curiously, sitting down on the floor.
"A very...unpleasant one." he stated carefully, running his fingers through his Mohawk.
"What was it about?" she asked, wanting know more about the strange experiment.
"Something from a long, long time ago." 621 replied, staring into space as his hand dropped to his side.
Only then did Lilo realize how old 621 sounded and how tired he looked. Deep bags were under his eyes, as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long, long time.
"How often do you go to sleep?" she asked before she could think of the consequences.
621 turned his head to face her, an eyebrow raised.
"Why are you asking?" he questioned.
"I-it's just that you look like you don't get enough sleep!" Lilo hurriedly explained, not wanting to offend the experiment who could potentially kill her.
Well, that much is true." 621 replied, turning away from her.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"I have insomia, a disorder that makes it hard for me to go to sleep." he explained, waving his hand in the air dismissively.
An awkward silence soon followed, both parties fidgeting, not knowing what to say or do next..
"I'm sorry." 621 said, breaking the silence abruptly.
"Why are you saying sorry?" Lilo asked.
"I saw what happened that night. With your parents." he explained, not even turning toward her.
"How?" Lilo asked.
"I have an...ability to see a person's strongest memory at that moment, good or bad, if I touch the door of the room they're in or if I touch the person directly. Your memory was the one of your parent's death." 621 replied, nervously tapping his finger on his leg.
"All of it?" she asked.
"I pulled away when you started to cry." he admitted, rubbing his arm.
Lilo thought for a second, processing all of the information that she had just heard.
"Can you do that in reverse?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" 621 asked, turning his head a bit so he could see her.
"Could you use your powers so I could see your memories?" Lilo explained.
The green experiment bit his lip nervously, thinking.
"Therotically, yes. But I'm not sure if it would hurt you; I haven't done it before, after all." he replied, slowly and carefully.
"I can stand it if it hurts." she replied, standing up and bravely puffing her chest out.
Still looking a bit worried, 621 stood up and input the code to her cell.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yep!" Lilio replied, grinning confidentially.
621 closed his eyes and gently took a hold of Lilo's hands. Her eyes began to glow evergreen as she saw one of his memories...
621 was inside of hexagonal machine, putting in some DNA, when he heard the sound of footsteps. He swung around, and saw that the person was 626.
"My, 626! You are sooooo great! Look at the DNA enhancement I have made for my finest creation!" 621 said with mocking praise, imitating Jumba.
He then began to insanely laugh.
"I'm sick of it! I'm sick of it! Well, that's all about to change! We'll see what Jumba thinks of you now that I have used that DNA on myself!" 621 said in a fast pace, a twisted grin on his face.
The dorr closed and the machine roared to life. Pain surged through his body as it begun to change into a stronger, larger one.
"My turn~!" a high, nasty voice laughed inside of 621's head.
He felt himself get pushed into the back of his own subconscious as someone, or something, else took control. Then everything went black...
621 sharply pulled his hands away from Lilo, who gasped in surprise. He slowly backed away from her, a horrified look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Lilo. I truly am." 621 said as he stepped outside of the cell.
He quickly inputted the code to Lilo's cell, causing the door to shut. 621 then quickly went to his room, leaving her all alone to her own thoughts.
Something had changed him when he went into that machine but what? Also, why did the 621 in the memory want to prove he was better than Stitch to Jumba? Lilo needed to learn more in order to find out why he turned out the way he did.
Why is 621 acting weird? Who is the voice? Why does 621 seem so conflicted? These questions will be answered in the next chapter! Bye~!
