The two spent the rest of the day just relaxing. Stitch laid down on the couch as Lilo insisted on getting him anything he needed. While his mind was fully awake, his body was still groggy from being knocked out. Stitch had never felt like this before. Even when he had technically died during his glitch, his body didn't feel like this. He felt bad for having Lilo do every little thing for him. In truth, he had never really been sick before. The earth viruses and illnesses didn't have an effect on him. Jumba explained that it was due to him, "being designed so that he would be being unstoppable." Out of anything, only Poxy would be able to make him sick in any way.

"Meega sorry for this." Stitch said as Lilo took a cup of water from his hand, now that he was finished with it.

"Don't be silly, Stitch." She replied with a smile. "You're always taking care of me, it's really the least I could do. Just make sure to keep your promise not to run off like that again. I don't want you to have to feel like this a lot."

"Ih." He said, letting his head fall back on the pillow Lilo got for him.

She gave him a quick kiss on the forehead before running into the kitchen to put the cup away. As soon as she was out of sight she quickly pressed her back against the blue kitchen wall. She brought her hand up to her chest, able to feel her heart race beneath it. What's wrong with me? All I did was kiss his head. I've done it plenty of times before. She took a deep breath and made her way to the sink to pour out the water. It must be because of what had happened, right? She set the glass down and leaned against the counter, resting her head on her crossed arms. Then why did I feel like that when I saw him and Angel together? She could feel a fire burn inside her at the image. No. It's nothing. It's just because of everything that's happened. It was a busy day after all. Yeah, that's it. Between what happened with Stitch and Keoni asking me out, of course my heart would be racing.

While Lilo was in the kitchen, Stitch continued laying on the couch. As soon as Lilo's lips had left him, he brought his hand up to the spot that she had kissed. He could still feel them there, sending heat throughout his body. Her kisses have never felt like this before. Sure they've always made me happy, but what is this? Stitch continued his internal struggle, trying to figure out what was going on in his head and in his heart. I can't think about all of this right now. I have Angel. She loves me, and I love her… don't I? He started thinking to all the times he had spent with the pink experiment since she first activated. Everything went by quickly at first. It was love at first sight. Despite all the bad she did for Gantu, he still felt attracted to her. After she finally turned he thought he would be able to truly be with her. When she was captured by Gantu he was truly devastated. A day didn't go by when he didn't think about her, and even made a small shrine for her. Once they freed her their relationship really hit off. However, it didn't feel the same as before. What changed? Why haven't we been on a date yet? She loves me, has since we met. And if I love her, we should be dating. We're boojiboo's after all.

Stitch turned over as he heard Lilo finally approaching, not asking what had taken her so long.

"How are you feeling?" She asked him rather hesitantly.

"Better now." He replied, he could feel that his body was starting to snap out of its grogginess. "Takka to youga."

Lilo could feel a slight blush to her cheeks return from his comment, hoping he wouldn't notice. Stitch saw that she was acting a bit strange, but figured that that was to be expected with all that happened.

The rest of the night continued as normal. Eventually Stitch felt completely back to normal and the two were playing and laughing like they always did. Trying their best to suppress the thoughts and feelings that seemed to pop up out of nowhere just that afternoon. Instead they focused on what would happen the very next day. Both of them were going to go on their very first date. That morning Lilo stood in the bathroom. She was already dressed for hula class. Wearing her grass skirt, top, and lei's on her wrists and ankles, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror brushing her hair. Staring at herself as her heart quickened at the thought of her oncoming date.

"What am I supposed to do on a date?" She asked herself, staring at her image in the mirror hoping that an answer would just appear in front of her. "I've never done anything like this. I've always wanted it, sure, but what do I do?"

She ran the brush through her already straight hair furiously. Taking her nerves out on the long raven black strands. "Come on, Lilo. Get a hold of yourself. It's just dinner. I eat dinner all the time."

Her hands stopped moving, and with a sigh she placed the brush on the counter by the sink.

"If it's just a dinner then why do you feel this way?" Her reflection asked.

"Because I like him." Lilo said. She could feel her voice weaken at the words.

"Do you really?" The words were cool as ice, freezing her as the meaning sank in deep. The reflection waited for a response but never received one. "I thought so."

Lilo got angry at the image, at herself. "Of course I like him! I've had a crush on him since we first met. I'm happy that he asked me out after all these years."

She stormed out of the bathroom, nearly fuming. Wondering why she just got so angry at herself. She suppressed the little voice in her head, berating her for her actions. Doing her best just to ignore it and the feeling of uneasiness.

Lilo met Stitch outside, at the bottom of the steps.

"Let's go." Her words, coated with anger more, than she meant to put in, caught Stitch off guard for a moment. He kept a few paces behind, head tilted as he observed his friend. When she passed him he saw that her brow was furrowed in anger, with a fire in her eyes he normally didn't see. Combine that with the way she put a slight stomp to her step and half hazardly placed her lei on her head, he knew something was wrong.

He quickly ran to her side and grabbed her hand, causing her to stop dead in her tracks as her heart skipped a beat. She took a moment to recompose herself before she turned and saw concern drawn on Stitch's face. He paused, then looked down at his hand holding hers and let go suddenly, feeling blood rush to his head.

"Lilo oketaka?" He asked, trying to focus on her rather than his ever warming cheeks.

"I'm fine." She replied, still anger in her tone. She saw Stitch flinch a bit and instantly felt guilty. "I'm sorry, Stitch. I didn't mean to say it like that."

"Gaba wrong?"

She smiled at his care for her, something that had always brought comfort. "I don't know. I just felt angry suddenly. I don't even really know why."

She was about to continue trying to explain things. More to herself than to Stitch. However, she completely stopped as Stitch suddenly stepped forward and hugged her much like he did when they first met. Lilo didn't really know what to do or how to react. Her heart quickened again, but everything felt really right.

"W-what are you doing?" She asked, the anger long gone from her voice.

"Hugs always make things better. Ih? Meega make youga feel better."

His words and actions melted her. She relaxed into him and wrapped her arms around him in kind. "Thank-you." She whispered in his ear. "I'm sorry I snapped at you like that."

"Isa oketaka." He slowly let go of her, feeling like her was leaving a part of him behind for some reason. "Youga feel better?"

"I do." She could still feel his arms around her, even though they were long gone. She kept the thought out of her mind as they continued their way to class.

By the time class had ended Lilo, was feeling a lot better. Dancing really helped to clear her mind, and despite feeling Stitch watch her the entire time, she managed to keep focus on her lessons. Once finished, Lilo quickly ran into the changing area to get ready for her date. Keoni was supposed to pick her up shortly after class and she didn't want to keep him waiting.

Once changed into her best dark blue mu'umu'u, Lilo re-brushed her hair, she was still worried about looking and acting her best for the date. Victoria saw the unusual amount of care Lilo was putting into her looks and became curious as to what was going on.

"Hey, Lilo. You got plans or anything?" She asked as she started tying her shoe.

"Yeah, I got big plans. Why?" Lilo tried her best to hide her date. She knew if Myrtle found out she wouldn't hear the end of it.

"It's just that you don't normally try so hard to look good." Victoria thought about it for a few moments before it finally dawned on her. "Wait. Is it because of a boy?"

Lilo quickly clamped her hand over the excited girl mouth. "Shhh." She whispered. "I don't want the others to find out. I want to try to enjoy it."

Victoria made some muffled sounds through Lilo's hand.

"What?"

Victoria pulled Lilo's hand away, finally allowing her to breathe and talk properly. "I said okay and asked who it was."

"Keoni." She said in a hushed tone.

"Really?" Victoria squealed, quickly throwing her hands over her mouth, seeing the other girls looking at them. "Sorry. So you asked him out and he said yes?"

"No. He asked me out, he's meeting me here in a little bit."

"Wow. I'm so happy for you." She said as she threw her arms around her in a hug.

"Thanks." Lilo replied happily. "I best get going, he should be here soon."

Before hearing a reply she was already out the door. Meeting Stitch outside they waited by the road for Keoni and Angel to meet up with them. They shared with each other their nerves about their respective plans. They gained comfort knowing that the other felt just like they did, neither one really knowing what they were supposed to do on an actual real date.

It didn't take long for Keoni to come for Lilo. With a hug good-bye Stitch watched her walk off. Feeling slightly jealous for reasons he didn't understand. He himself didn't have to wait much longer before two pink paw like hands covered his eyes.

"Guess who." A sing song voice said from behind him.

"Aloha, Angel." Stitch said with a slight giggle.

"Youga all ready?" Angel asked as she let him go, letting him turn around. She blushed slightly when he didn't say anything. "Youga naga like it?"

Angel decided to try to dress up a little. She wore a light pink mu'umu'u around her waist like a skirt and had put a white flower on top her head on her left side.

"Youga look butifa." Stitch said with a smile, warming up as he saw the happiness spring onto her face.

"Really? Meega so happy!" She said with a twirl. "Let's get going then!"

The two of them made their way into town. Angel wrapped herself onto Stitch's arm, happy to get to be on a romantic date like a real couple.

Present Day

Stitch woke up with a start. Shaking his head he looked down to see Lilo was still as peaceful as ever. He wished with all his heart that she would wake up with him. He turned his head to the side and saw that Angel was sleeping beside him, using her arms as a pillow on the examination table. We must have fallen asleep. What time is it? Stitch looked at the clock he had thrown on the floor long ago. Hating how the time ticked by, like it was mocking him. Looks like it's almost noon. With a sigh he picked up Angel in his arms.

"Meega be right back, Lilo." He whispered as he gave Lilo a quick kiss on the cheek.

Doing his best not to wake up the sleeping experiment. He snuck quietly into the house and placed her on the couch. He ran to closet and grabbed a blanket to keep her warm while she slept. Once the blanket reached her she began to stir a little and turned over.

"Meega sorry." She whispered.

For a second Stitch thought she was talking to him, but on inspection she was still completely fast asleep. With a sad sigh, he made his way outside. Closing the door as quietly as he could, he was startled by a voice behind him.

"Hey, Stitch."

Feeling his heart race in his chest, Stitch turned to see Keoni standing there, holding himself guiltily.

"Gaba youga want?" Stitch spat in anger.

"I heard something happened to, Lilo." He said, sadness radiating off of him.

"Lilo will be fine." Telling himself more than the surfer boy.

"Look. I know you're angry with me. I really don't blame you. I was a jerk and I deserve every bit of it." Keoni could see he wasn't going to get a reply from the little blue experiment, so he decided to just continue. "I just wanted to come by and apologize. I feel awful for what happened, especially between us. And I just wanted to come by and say that and that I really hope Lilo gets better."

For half a month Stitch had been furiously angry at the surfer boy. No matter what he thought that anger would never forgive him, or accept any apology. After what happened with Lilo, though. Can I really live life with this anger inside?

Keoni saw that Stitch wasn't going to reply, and truly he never expected to receive any forgiveness. He truly just wanted to apologize. With his head hung low he turned and started making his way down the steps.

What would Lilo do? Stitch asked himself. Watching the back of the boy slowly descend the stairs. Still at war with himself he slid down the railing, grabbing onto the end of the rail to keep his balance as he stood.

"Thank-you." He stated simply to the back of Keoni. Stitch jumped from the railing and quickly ran back up the mountain trail to the hidden ship. Making his way back to his Lilo as quickly as he could.

Keoni stopped when he heard Stitch's words. He still felt bad about himself, but hearing the thanks from Stitch lifted his heavy conscience just a little bit. Enough for him to hold his head high once again.
