Ch. 4 Hula Dance

Stitch's P.O.V.

After Lilo left, meega just stroll around the island. Seeing cousins, always thinking about boojiboo. Meega find tree house, climb it and lay down on it. Meega stare into sky, getting lost in the formation of clouds and the gentle breeze of the wind. Meega eyes fighting sleepiness, but it won as darkness covered my sight.

Dream...

Meega stares off the beach as the view of the ocean was amazing. The gentle, salty and wet breeze flies through as the ocean water laps the clean and white, sandy beach and the sounds of the crashing made it a placid place. The seagulls flying overhead, making their presence known as they fade into the scene. The golden sun high in the azure sky, the rays falling down towards the water and creating a golden sheen. Meega close eyes, smiling as the wind passes through and felt the familiar sensation as the wind goes through meega sandy fur. Meega naga go into water often, but meega decide to go. Only to rid the sand on fur, also meega felt very warm. Meega walk to the shallow part and splash the water all over. This isa perfect, today the beach isa perfect along with weather.

"It's so beautiful, isn't Stitch?"

Meega turn and see Lilo in her hula skirt, smiling widely as she catches meega with misa wet fur. Meega look into her deep brown eyes, meega feel happy. Meega run out from beach and to Lilo, meega tackle her to the ground and we laugh. She stands up and says, "Stitch remembered when you and I were going to do the hula dedicated to love is stronger than death?"

Meega nod.

She continues, "Well, I decide to do it at least once more."

She proceeds to do He Mele No Lilo, she was so elegant and so... radiant.

The moves were full of passion and meega could feel it, meega walk up and stop her.

Meega smile and absent-minded, grab her hand as we walk to towel on the beach. We sit and Lilo lays on meega shoulder, meega turn and smile at Lilo. She returns it with her own smile, warm and full of happiness with love. The look she sent to meega, meega felt amused by it.

"Naga. Youga isa misa butifa," Meega coos as meega leans slightly towards and rubs nose against Lilo's. She cutely giggle at meega's gesture, a barely visible blush appears on her tanned cheeks. Meega pull away and drape arm over her shoulder, a nice and comfortable silence seem to swallow us. We were fixated on the scene of the water, sparkling brightly with the rays of the sun dancing over them.

After a few seconds of the peaceful silence, meega could feel eyes on meega. Lilo slowly shifts her eyes to meega's expression. She giggles quietly as meega still look at ocean, she laughing at meega being focus and having a strange look; however, she isa cute. Meega admit that. Lilo mind was made up and she finds herself wanting to do one thing; only one thing. She turns her teck and gives a soft kiss on meega's cheek. Meega coming out of daze, snapping head to side with a look of surprise as meega look to Lilo.

"Gaba? Lilo, gaba that for?"

She smiles as she shrugs her shoulders.

"Just cause," she responds.

Meega grin evilly down to Lilo, before meega surprised her with a kiss by pressing our lips together. Lilo's eyes instantly shut as the feel and taste of meega went through, the same for meega. Just as she was admiring the kiss, meega pull back. She opens her eyes and has a confused expression on it.

"What was that for?"

Meega laugh as meega rub meega nose with Lilo's again, the little act made her go into a fit of laughter as her nose was being tickled.

"Just 'cause."

"'Cause why?"

Meega shrug and turn away from Lilo with a teasing smile plastered on meega face. Lilo pokes meega's ribs.

"Say it. Come on, say it. You know you wanna," she states.

"Meega naga nota youga talking about," Meega retort as meega raise noise high in air.

"Stitch, say it! Come on boojiboo, say it!" she whines.

"Say gaba?"

"You know well right what I'm talking about."

"Okie-taka," meega pretend to sigh as meega turn and see Lilo's elated expression. Meega front crumpled at the sight of the beautiful smile on her face. Meega wrap furry arms around Lilo and pull her close to meega. She gasps from the immediate movement, but soon loved being in meega's embrace. We stare into each other's eye.

"Meega love youga, boojiboo."

As soon as the words escaped meega's mouth, a loud thunder could be heard coming from the horizon. Meega look away with confusion, Lilo still in meega's arm.

"Youga heard that, right?" Meega asks hysterically.

Another thunderous rumble; but unlike the first one, it had was followed by small tremors. Meega felt scared, but when meega looked to Lilo and she staring at meega with love written in her eyes. Then the ground starts to heavily shake and the sand around them begins to move violently.

"An earthquake?" Lilo voices her question as loud as she can be from the loud noise the ground made. Meega look behind him and see was is causing the whole problem. Meega eyes widen as meega spot something coming their way.

Meega push Lilo out of way as meega dodge plasma bullet.

"Stitch!"

Meega turn and see Lilo, fear in meega's eyes as Lilo looked at meega.

Meega look back and shout, "Gaba want Gantu!"

He replies, "Doing what the Dr. wants me to do?"

Meega charge at him, but somehow meega go through him and turn to see Lilo in Gerbilwheel's grimy hands.

Meega growls, "Gerbilwheel let boojiboo go!"

He retorts, "Which one?"

As he moves and shows he had Angel caught as well.

Meega nod, "Naga Angel."

She exclaims, "Boojiboo, help meega!"

Lilo shouts, "Stitch! Help!"

Meega look between the two and then made way to Gerbilwheel, he smirks and then uses his foot to press a button. A cannon shows itself and fires at meega, meega run through it and soon meega start to glitch again.

Meega ask, "Gaba youga to do meega?"

He answers, "I made the circuits go overload and now you'll be blacking out, but not before I shoot your dear stupid earth girl a ray that'll change her and make her my new pet."

Meega could feel self not being able to move, meega look to Lilo and see tears in her eyes.

Gerbilwheel brings his weapon to Lilo as she screams "Stitch, I always lo-" and then is interrupted as the ray hits her and Stitch blacks out.

Treehouse...

Meega's eyes open in a flash as fear courses through body, meega chest heaving rapidly as meega feel cold sweat dripping down forehead. It takes a few seconds to adjust to the scene before meega could note meega outside on tree house and waking from nightmare. But... the nightmare brought something to meega's mind meega naga thought of. Nightmare or not, strange as it be have it been. Meega and Lilo? Together? Like that? Gaba even mean? Gaba reason for dream. Meega naga comprehend the occult message in dream between meega and Lilo on the beach, kissing. Then the shaking earthquake, the storm, Gantu, Gerbilwheel, Angel was all so random. Meega mean, come on. Like seriously? Gerbilwheel making machine so meega glitch and turn Lilo in pet isa too outlandish and outrageous. Meega smiles as meega shake head and entering reality. That isa ridiculous to the extreme. Meega turn and walk over the side of tree house to see Lilo there dancing like no tomorrow. Meega couldn't help but think back to dream, meega and Lilo. Us boojiboos?

Meega sigh, "Naga happened."

Meega add, "Meega have Angel and Lilo naga likes Stitch that way."

Meega yawns too loudly and Lilo hears it, "Stitch? Stitch is that you? Did you just wake up?"

'Lilo!'

Meega pull back from the side of the tree house as meega mentally curse myself for being so stupid and yawning so loudly; of course Lilo would hear it from the close distance. Meega should have stayed quiet.

"Stitch! Stitch where are you?"

Meega jump off tree house and land quietly behind some shrubs.

Meega ask lightly, "Where isa Stitch hiding from Lilo?"

Soon the scenes of the dream come back with vengeance and meega reply, "Oh yeah. That isa reason."

Meega was about to step away, until meega trip over some rock while walking backwards and rolling out of the shrubs.

"Ogata."

Meega rub head, "My head isa hurting."

"Are you okay?"

Meega open eyes and see Lilo running to meega with worry in her eyes.

Meega reply, "Ih."

Lilo smiles, "Good, because I went up to the tree house and found you a sleep. I gently shook you so you can see me dance, but you were so tired. I just let you sleep."

Meega standing up, fully aware of Lilo's presence, and now knowing she shook him so meega could see her dance. Isa why meega dreamt Lilo dancing and then the earthquake? Meega pushed that thought away as it floats to the back of meega mind so meega could go back to it later.

Lilo smiles, "Guess what, since it is still some time before the dark sets... Why not we watch a movie?"

Meega asks, "Gaba movie?

Lilo answers, "Wasp Mummies 2.5!"

"Ih, meega love to watch it!" meega reply.

"Cool, so let us go home and get some money; also so I can change out of my hula outfit."

Meega runs on all fours, "Stitch race Lilo home!"

Lilo says, "Okay, you're on!"

Author's P.O.V.

Both rush home and after Lilo changes, as well as gotten some food. She asks Nani, "Can Stitch and I go to the theaters?"

Nani questions, "What movie?"

Lilo answers, "Wasp Mummies 2.5!"

Nani rolls her eyes, "Why am I not surprised by that?"

Lilo laughs, "Yep."

Nani states, "Fine the two of you can go, just don't stay out to late. Got it? I want the two of you on your best behavior. Understand? Be good, okay?"

Lilo nods, "Yes."

Nani goes into her wallet and takes some money out, "Here, should be good enough. That's for tickets, and should get you guys some drinks."

Lilo takes the money and responds, "Thanks Nani, you're the best sister ever."

Nani retorts, "Really now?"

Lilo comments cheerily, "Yeah."

She leaves as she tries to get Stitch, "Stitch!"

He replies, "Ih."

He runs out of the living and Lilo asks, "You've been there all this time?"

Stitch answers, "Stitch been hagata watching T.V."

She responds, "Stop with what you're doing because remember we're going to the movies together."

Stitch replies, "Ooops. Stitch forgot."

He laughs as Lilo shakes her head at him, staring at him with "unbelievable" written on her face.

Lilo states, "Not a problem."

Both leave the house and walk up to the theater. Once there they purchase the tickets, bought drinks and treats while saving the rest for later use. They enter their theater section, walking in and finding their seats near the back.

Lilo asks, "Can you see the screen?"

Stitch answers, "Ih, meega can see. Heh heh..."

He smiles as the two sit back and looking at the screen, waiting for previews to finish.

Minutes Later...

Stitch says, "Naga go in basement."

Lilo found it hard to focus on the movie as she look at Stitch. She asks fully noting she was still in the theater, "Why not Stitch?"

RROOOAAARRR!

AAAHHHHH!

Lilo jumps after that and bumps against Stitch.

Stitch sets his eyes on her. "Heh. youga okie-taka?" He says as he tilts his head to the side.

Lilo feels her face going a few shades of red, "Who me... yeah, heh. Yeah I'm fine, it just kinda surprised me."

He laughs with a light blush. "Good thing meega hagata or youga fallen out of chair," he speaks.

She notices how close she was when she was leaning against him and then sits right back up "Heh... yeah, thanks."

Once the movie was over both walk back to the house, Lilo opens the front door and both go on the couch.

"I'm telling you, those theater seats are severely and undoubtedly uncomfortable," she says as she turns the T.V. on.

She looks around and asks, "Stitch, do you know where Nani, Jumba and Pleakley went off too?"

Stitch answers, "Naga."

Lilo jumps off the couch and enters the kitchen, in hopes of finding Nani; however she finds a note stuck on the fridge.

She takes it and reads the note, 'Sorry Lilo. Something came up and I had to leave because of something urgent. Be back as soon as possible. Meaning... Don't stay up too late!"

Lilo rolls her eyes, "Gee Nani, even when you're not here. You're still strick as ever."

She walks back and was about to say something, but Stitch speaks up.

"Takka Lilo. Takka for inviting me" he smiles.

Lilo states, "It's okay. We need to have some time to catch up."

She walks up to the couch and sits beside him.

He states, "Yeah."

Stitch looks back to her and asks, "Where isa Nani?"

She answers, "Out."

Stitch goes back to the TV, which he must've turned it on when she was out, and watches the show while she was looking at him.

"Really?" He says as he looks over at Lilo and could've sworn she had done the 'staring and looking away as he looked at' thing.

"Lilo? Youga quiet, did soda upset stomach or something?" he asks.

"Nah, are you hungry? I think we have some left over pizza. I'll put it in the oven and warm it up," she states.

Stitch replies, "Ih, meega hamataka."

Both get off the couch and walk into the kitchen. She grabs some frozen pizza and places it into the oven. Once the pizza was finished warming up, she takes it out carefully and finds a knife. She cuts the pizza in slices while Stitch was looking around the kitchen and waiting for it to be finish. Though Lilo was looks to Stitch and he asks. "When is Nani returning?

Lilo sighs, "I don't know, but I'm sure she'll OW!"

The knife meets the floor with a loud clamor as she holds her finger and hissing in pain. Stitch rushes over, picks up the knife and placing it on the table as Lilo moans.

"Ouch. Ooh.. Ow. Wasn't paying attention," she speaks.

"That cut looks little deep. C'mon," he says as he helps Lilo up and into the bathroom.

"Where isa peroxide?" Stitch asks as Lilo points to the cabin close to her. She opens it, hands him the bottle and Stitch dabs a portion on a napkin.

"May meega?" Stitch questions pointing to her finger, Lilo nods as she raises her hand to Stitch ,who took it and lightly dabs the finger, while Lilo's face redden again as she shifts her gaze away and winces.

"Lilo, does it sting?" Stitch asks.

"NNhhnnn..." she nods.

"Good, isa mean ridding bacteria that can cause infection," Stitch notes how Lilo was keeping her eyes adverted, "Youga okie-taka?"

"Yeah..." she replies quietly.

Stitch smiles, "Itchibawa Lilo. C'mon, meega naga see youga eyes if youga look away."

'Did meega say that out loud..'

Lilo looks to him, "You... like my eyes? Like seeing them?"

Stitch smiles, "Well yea. Meega like youga eyes. They butifa. So butifa."

Lilo hugs Stitch and he blinks. "Thank you Stitch," Lilo says.

Stitch smiles at her, "Naga. Takka youga Lilo."

He adds, "Well, pizza getting cold. Come on, let's eat some."

Stitch takes Lilo's hand, Lilo feeling herself blush at the action and follows him.

'Wonder if this means she has feelings for meega...'

'Wonder if he already knows...' Was on Lilo's mind.

After grabbing a soda and a few slices of pizza the two both go back to the living room and watch some cartoons, until both begin to feel sleepy. The two start heading towards the elevator, both head up and go into their room.

"Hey Lilo?" Stitch asks.

"Yeah?" She speaks as she looks at him

Stitch blushes as he sees Lilo in her pjs. 'Did... meega just blush?' he thinks as he adverts his eyes from her to the floor. Stitch walks to his side and crawls into bed, still not looking at Lilo.

He replies still blushing, "Naga mind, isa nothing."

"Okay then..." She answers.

She looks to Stitch and says, "Stitch?"

He looks back to her and now her face begins to flush, "I-I was wondering..."

She looks down and states, "Nothing."

A very uncomfortable silence engulfs them as both look away from one another.

Stitch replies, "Um... okay?"

Lilo scoffs, "Yeah."

Stitch looks back to Lilo and says, "Come on Lilo, smile."

Lilo laughs, "I can say the same thing to you."

She launches herself over to him and starts to tickle him, then Stitch tickles her back and both fell off the bed.

Both were laughing as Lilo looks up at Stitch, immediately stop with the laughter as her gaze locks with Stitch's. She was blushing, it was tinting her cheeks.

Stitch states as he tilts his head, "Youga been doing that ever since meega came back?"

Lilo blushes more visibly now and speaks with nervousness in her tone, "Wha.. What you mean? I mean... you...notice that..."

"Mhmm, so gaba with blush? Thinking of a boy?" He replies with a grin.

"Well... Not...quite..." Lilo comments.

"Gaba," Stitch asks tilting his head, "then gaba isa?"

Lilo blushes brightly, fervently, "You..."

Stitch's face begins to heat up as a blush crosses his cheeks, "Meega..?"

Lilo nods as she breaks the locked gaze, looking everywhere else besides Stitch, "I-I wanted to tell you sooner, but... I know it wouldn't work between us. You still have Angel."

Stitch smiles softly, "Ih, that isa true. But that naga mean a thing. Sure meega has Angel, but naga one can replace youga Lilo. Youga given meega fun for such a long time, youga given meega so much. Youga treated meega nicer than anyone else."

"R-really?" She asks as the blush heats up.

Stitch grins, "Ih. Meega glad youga have said that, but..."

"No, no. Don't say it, it's fine. I understand well."

Stitch smiles and tilts Lilo's head up gingerly, "Youga naga nota. Meega has same feelings, but meega naga nota if they going to last. If tomorrow they gone. ...But Stitch will give this a shot, if youga want to. Meega naga think anyone better."

Lilo blushes again, smiles slightly and nods. "I want to, I really do."

Stitch smiles and hugs Lilo gently, she hugs back and then pushes him off. "Um...Stitch... I can't."

Stitch looks back confused, "Ih? Gaba isa Lilo?"

Lilo frowns and says, "I can't do this Stitch. No matter how much I want to, you belong to someone else. That someone deserves you. Angel deserves you."

Stitch's mind flashes back to the dream of him and Lilo, together on the beach and everything else.

"Stitch...?" Lilo asks as she looks into Stitch's eyes, hoping he would come out of his daze.

Since he wasn't, she softly kisses on his cheek and that snaps Stich out of it. When he looks back to Lilo, he was blushing from the little kiss.

Lilo asks, "Please don't feel weird by this. I don't want to lose you again. Please, don't leave?"

Stitch replies as he hugs her again, "Naga. Stitch naga leave Lilo, naga ever again."

Lilo returns the hug and softly says, "Thank you."

She nuzzles Stitch's furry shoulder softly, Stitch smiles at her.

He asks, "Youga sleepy?"

Lilo nods "Yeah a little.."

Stitch stands up with Lilo and the two go to Lilo's bed, under the covers. On the bed, Lilo hugs Stitch tightly to make sure he was there and this caused Stitch to smile. Both were laying down and Stitch says, "Goodnight Lilo."

Lilo says as her eyes were shut, "Goodnight Stitch."

When she was sleeping, Stitch kisses her cheek and then falls onto the bed and sleeps.
