Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own story, plot, and three experiments: Drea, Slyther, and Master
Note: LOL, a lot of you were very surprised about the Sparky/Lilo thing. To those that are disgusted with this pairing, don't worry. This story will be Stitch/Lilo. I was going to reveal this later, but I think I better say it now. Sparky and Lilo didn't really share a romance, they just thought it was a romance. Their relationship was just like a peck on the cheek and holding hands. Sparky THINKS he still loves Lilo, but he won't have her in the end. Lilo is completely over him. So yes, this just may spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E!
"Well done Sparky! You may get some sleep now!" A man hollered from the ground and up to the lighthouse. "Good night Sparky!"
"Night Joe!" A voice responded from the lighthouse.
The bright light of the lighthouse shining into the night faded until it was dark. Inside the lighthouse was a rich yellow colored experiment with brilliant blue eyes. He stretched while yawning, eager to fall asleep. He climbed down the stairs until he reached the small pad on his cold, steel floor. He crawled up until he reached the pillows then lay down. He turned over to face a man doll with spiked brown hair and a blond Barbie doll lying next to it. The man was shirtless with blue shorts while the Barbie wore a short red dress.
Sparky reached forward for the dolls. He had found them while he walked along the beach one day. They were just lying around, so he picked them up and carried them to his lighthouse. Now Sparky was not such a big fan of dolls, but he was just so bored that day and wanted to do something. That was when she came over and played with them. Instead of making it seem like they were fun toys, they made it to where they were mocking the dolls. He took the man one and acted out that he wasn't as strong as he looked and she had taken the girl doll and pretended to act like a sissy with it. They had laughed together and when they did, something had sparked between them.
Lilo. He whispered the name in his mind. He smiled as he remembered the days and nights they had shared. Yes, Sparky did love Lilo. She had after all set him free. In addition to that, she had been the one to persuade the grand councilwoman to let the experiments stay on Earth. He had heard somewhere before he was dehydrated that when you question the grand councilwoman, she had the right to either put you in prison or execute you. He admired the girl's guts and her love for the experiments. At first, it was just a crush, but that day, when they mocked the dolls and laughed together, he began realizing her as something much more.
He took a liking to her company after that. Almost everyday when she and Stitch weren't so busy, she would come by his lighthouse to either play or just enjoy each other's company. He enjoyed the frequent visits from her until that night she had kissed him on the cheek. She had blushed and he thought it was so cute. To reassure her nothing was wrong between them, he had kissed her as well and curled his hand around hers. She stared at him in shock before smiling and kissed him again. They had a relationship for nine glorious weeks until Keoni Jameson came into town.
Sparky had noticed Lilo staring at the surfer kid and had felt a wave of jealousy overwhelming him. Lilo assured him she felt nothing for the boy until he had the nerve to talk to his buchee-bu! Sparky wanted nothing more than to electrocute the boy into a crisp, but he stayed away. Sparky's jealousy resulted in anger and that had made Lilo give up on their relationship. He thought he'd be happier, but he just couldn't get over her. He promised he would get her back, but that was years ago and now, he's just wistfully thinking.
"Lousy surfer boy." Sparky muttered bitterly. "What does he have that I don't? Sure, he's human and is muscular, but can he lift objects 200 pounds times his own size? Can he swallow batteries without choking? What did Lilo see in him that I didn't have? I loved her. I still do." He sighed.
"Oh the poor little thing." Drawled a voice.
Sparky sat up, his ears perked. "Who was that?"
From the window, he could see a shadow of the figure hop from the windowsill down to the floor. The figure walked forward until the light of the moon revealed his body and face. Sparky thought at first that it was Stitch, but then noticed the experiment had silver fur with gleaming green eyes. On his chest, printed in bold red ink, read the words, Pre 700. Sparky stood, he didn't recognize the experiment at all and he didn't trust him.
The experiment, Slyther, walked up. He raised his hands to show he came in peace. Sparky kept a good distance from the intruder who glared at him. Silence hung in the air for over a minute as both experiments try coming up with something to say.
Slyther realized Sparky wasn't going to say anything, so he broke the ice. "I hear you and Lilo used to have a relationship." Sparky didn't react except for clenching his jaw. Slyther went on. "I'm Slyther, Pre 700. I am here to assist you in winning Lilo back."
Sparky seemed interested. "How?"
Slyther smirked. "We have our ways."
"We?"
"Master, Pre 701 and Drea, Pre 699."
"Why would you want to help me?"
Slyther smirked once again. "We are very disappointed in 626. He could've had all the glory in the universe, but he just had to mess it all up by befriending that disgusting littleā¦"
Sparky growled as his energy fired up in anger. He didn't like the way he was insulting Lilo. Two balls of burning hot energy generated in his palms. He reared back before throwing the balls at Slyther with all his might! Slyther, sensing the balls hurling towards him, dodged out of the way. The balls collided into the strong structure of the lighthouse, creating a small dent. Just when Slyther thought he was safe, Sparky tackled him, punching him with all the strength he had in his body.
Slyther growled as he clutched Sparky's wrist, nearly crushing the experiment's bones. The yellow critter gave out a whimper, which made the silver creature let him go. Sparky staggered backwards, gently squeezing his wrists for inspection.
"As I was saying..." Slyther droned in a monotonous voice. "We want revenge on 626 and we believe the best way in doing that, is if he loses his precious Lilo. This is where you come in."
Sparky sighed. He knew how much Stitch loved Lilo and how much she loved him back. He knew to separate them would be like killing them. He couldn't do that to Lilo, her happiness meant the world to him. "I'm not going to do it. I will not take Lilo away from Stitch."
"Do you know Lilo still loves you?" Sparky perked his head, his ears intently listening to the silver experiment. "I've seen her walking aimlessly around the island saying how much she misses you. She just doesn't want to confront you in case you don't feel the same way. If you agree to help us, then Lilo will be yours and she will be willing. Besides, aren't you just getting tired of 626 being the hero all the time? Don't you want some glory to yourself?"
Sparky scratched his chin. He had to admit, the triumphs and victories Stitch earned irked him in a way. He got the attention of all the cute female experiments, Lilo worshipped him more, and it's as if he's the number one experiment. Sparky wanted some of that glory too. Sure he loved doing his job, but he wished he could also be a hero to Lilo.
Slyther realized his walls of defense slowly break down at his words. He decided to continue. "Remember that time when you saved 626 from being sawed in half? He thanked you, but still, everybody thought he was the hero. You never got any credit. Didn't that rather disappoint you? Lilo didn't even thank you, she just thought 626 was her hero. How about the time when you helped 626 in rescuing 624? Did he thank you? Did anybody give you any sort of credit? Did Lilo praise you? No, they still thought 626 was the hero. Oh and let's not forget those Leroys you helped defeat. You defeated over twenty of them. 626 had to have 624 to get him out of a beating. Still, he was everybody's hero while you stayed stuck just being a fan. Lilo didn't really praise you either, she just threw herself at 626. Has she ever done that with you?"
Sparky thought hard. Slyther went on. "That can all change. If you agree to help us, then you'll be more famous than 626 will ever be. We can help you earn that kind of delicious power and revenge. You could have anything and everything if you just aid us. Moreover, you could have the girl." Sparky looked up and stared defiantly in Slyther's swirling green eyes." Once she sees how 626 is really a pathetic loser, then she'll come for you. She'll fall in love with you all over again and be by your side. You could do whatever you wanted with her and keep her as long as you want and even better, she'll obey your every command."
Sparky bit his lip. His mind was going for yes, but his heart was saying no. He also had a very bad feeling about this experiment. "I don't know..."
"Oh come on! You can have all the glory in the universe! You can outshine 626 and have everything you always wanted. Lilo will be with you too. Isn't she what you want? Why are you still pondering over something that has 'yes' written all over it?" Slyther asked. "I'm going to count to five and if you don't have an answer, then I'll just leave. 1...2...3..."
"I'll take it!" Sparky blurted out.
Slyther smiled. "Excellent. You can just come with me then."
As Sparky followed the silver experiment out the lighthouse and into the cold night, he wondered if he had made the right choice or if he was just too greedy for Lilo's attention.
Meanwhile...
The house was quiet. You couldn't hear a thing except for the rain pouring down hard outside. Lilo sat on the couch in the living room, clutching a pillow tight to her chest. She gazed out the window, her heartbeat raced as the drops continued to fall endlessly. She was all alone. She didn't know where Jumba, Pleakley, Nani, Yuki, Teresa, Elena, and Stitch were. A crack of lightning flashed before her eyes, which made her lean against the back of the couch. She gripped the pillow tighter as if it was her shield.
She almost screamed as the knob on the front door began to turn. She bit her lip to keep quiet as the knob continued turning. Luckily for her, the door was locked so the intruder couldn't get in. The person seemed desperate as he started jiggling the knob then pounded on the door hard. Lilo wanted to move to get away, but she couldn't. She was too stricken with fear even to lift a finger. All she did was watch terrifyingly as the intruder pulled on desperate stunts to open the locked door.
Lilo could hear the person mumbling indecipherable words under his breath before he began kicking it. Lilo noted, with even more fear, that the person was very strong. His leg went right through the front door. She hid her face in the pillow, her arms gripping it as tight as she could. Her knuckles turned white, but she could careless about her knuckles right now. She heard the person ripping a hole through the door he had already smashed. Lilo whimpered as the warm tears began trickling from her eyes.
She then heard footsteps padding louder with every second. As the footsteps increased, so did Lilo's heartbeat. She felt as if she could just die right there on the couch than enduring what this demented individual had in mind for her.
The pillow ripped out of her grip, causing her to scream. Somebody grabbed hold of her chin and tilted her face up. Lilo's muscles stiffen in horror, but when she met the eyes of her captor, she sighed in relief and smiled. The person smiled back, leaning forward to kiss her forehead.
"Sorry I gave you a scare Lilo. Are you okay?" He asked.
Lilo nodded. "I'm fine Stitch. You just had me worried."
"I was afraid you were dead." Stitch replied. "That's why I was so desperate to get to the house. I thought he locked you up or something."
Lilo tilted her head in confusion. "Who are he?"
Before she could get her answer, she felt Stitch stiffen then closed his eyes. His head fell until it landed on her lap. Lilo was shocked, but even more so when she found out what had happened. The back of his head had a huge gash and the pink blood oozed out like rivers from all sides. One side rolling down his back, another side trickled down his head in pink tears, the opposite side did the same, and the front side rolled down his cute face. Lilo screamed as the tears pricked her eyes and pushed Stitch to rest on the floor.
His eyes opened and he smiled. Lilo smiled back before leaning forward to kiss his nose. However, before her lips could touch it, he lifted his head so her lips rested on his. He gradually lifted one hand and put as much pressure as he could to her head to keep her there. They kissed for a few minutes before Stitch lowered his hand. Lilo realized his smile dropped into a frown and she did the same thing.
"Run my love." He whispered in a choking voice. "Run. he's coming... for you."
"Who's he Stitch?" She asked, massaging his cheek.
"Master." He muttered out hoarsely, feeling his body ready to shut down. "I love you."
"Stitch! Don't go! I love you!" She cried, cupping her warm hands around his cold, bloodied cheek. The floor stained with his pink blood. "I love you! I love you so much! Please Stitch! Don't leave me."
He smiled. "I can't hear you buchee-bu. I can only see you." His eyes blinked close and then open as she screamed and cried out her words. His heart twisted in agony, but not at the pain he was going through, but because his love was crying and he couldn't do anything but watch her. "Run."
With this last word, his eyes closed. Lilo covered her mouth with one hand as his last breath escaped through his closed lips. "Don't say goodbye Stitch. Please don't say goodbye."
"Oh don't worry about him." Cooed a dark voice. The voice sent shivers down her spine. "I'll make sure you die with him. "
She turned, but didn't get to see the owner of the terrifying voice. All she heard was the shot of the blaster and the burning pain as the plasma reached her brain. She fell onto Stitch's lifeless body, closing her eyes in eternal slumber...
"Ah!" Lilo screamed as she sat up abruptly, panting in fear.
Stitch heard her loud scream pierce the silence in the room and sat up as well. He turned his head to look at her, his heart clenched at the sight of her. He threw the sheets off his body and raced towards her, landing at her side.
"Lilo? What's wrong?" He asked worriedly as he grabbed her hand.
"It was just a nightmare." Lilo breathed out. "But it felt so real."
Stitch gathered her in his arms. "Do you want to tell me what happened?"
She shook her head. "I rather not."
"Okay, well you're fine now. Go on and get some rest." Stitch scooted to exit the bed, but her grip on his arm made him halt his action. He turned back around to face her. She tugged on him. "Will you sleep with me tonight?"
"Um, okay." He said and crawled under the covers.
He laid flat on his back, closing his eyes for sleep. Lilo looked at him, observing his cute face. She lay down on his chest, her arm slung around his shoulder. She caressed the side of his neck lovingly, nuzzling deeper into his chest. Stitch opened his eyes to face the back of her head. He felt as if this was wrong, but he didn't stop it. It actually felt nice having her head there and the caressing she was doing to his neck soothed him. He lifted his arm and brought that around her shoulders, holding her tighter towards him.
That night, both Stitch and Lilo fell asleep. The nightmares didn't bug either of them. They just went to asleep, content in each other's arms.
The next morning, the obnoxious ringing sound of Nani's alarm clock echoed throughout the room. Groaning, Teresa reached up to turn it off. The ringing stopped, enabling her to go back to sleep. However, she couldn't, so instead exited the bed. Her companions felt the bed's weight lighten and they twisted their necks to see Teresa getting dressed. They decided it would be all right to change also. Once everyone got off the bed and dressed, they headed downstairs for breakfast. They contemplated whether they should wake anybody or if they should try to cook for themselves.
They decided on waking up Lilo and Stitch since hula class was about to start an hour later. Elena and Yuki went up since not all the girls could fit in the cramped space. Teresa stayed downstairs waiting for them until a minute later when the platform lowered to reveal two smiling girls. They beckoned her over with one finger before riding the elevator back up. Teresa waited for the lift to descend before climbing aboard also. She rode it up to enter Lilo and Stitch's dorm. She turned to the bed and her mouth dropped open.
Lilo and Stitch? She thought to herself. In each other's arms?
"Aren't they cute together?" Elena whispered.
"Eww, Elena. They are different species. Lilo may be weird sometimes, but I doubt she'd be weird enough to fall for her own dog." Yuki shuddered.
"Actually Yuki, Stitch is an alien remember?"
"I know, but I like it better when Stitch was just a dog and nothing more."
"Then what would you call the aliens that killed Myrtle?"
"Temperamental dogs." Yuki snickered, causing the girls to giggle.
Teresa looked at Lilo and Stitch. "You know, they are cute together and they definitely make a funny couple."
"Eww, not you too Teresa." Yuki replied, scrunching her face in distaste.
"Just look at them Yuki. Look at how cozy they are and have you noticed their little arguments. They're so funny together."
Before Yuki could respond or before any of the girls could say anything, one lump on the bed started moving in slow motion. The girls watched as Lilo sat up, causing Stitch to also awake. They gradually pulled themselves up before rubbing their eyes, yawning while doing this. They blinked to see the three girls, causing Stitch to leap out of the bed.
Lilo exited the bed as well without giving Stitch any eye contact. Wordlessly, the alien and the four girls descended from the dorm. They entered the kitchen to see Pleakley making breakfast and Jumba sitting at the table reading a newspaper. Lilo sat at the table with Stitch sitting across from her. Pleakley bade everyone a good morning before serving them their breakfast. Jumba groggily bade a good morning as well before chomping down on his piece of toast.
An hour later, Lilo, Stitch, Teresa, Yuki, and Elena headed off for hula class. Once there, all the girls threw their knapsacks on the newly polished wooden floor and sat in a line in front of Moses.
"Does anybody have any idea where Myrtle is?" Moses asked.
Yuki raised her hand. "She's de-"
Teresa quickly covered her mouth with one hand and continued talking for her. "What Yuki is saying Kumu is that Myrtle transferred."
"Transferred?" Moses asked outrageously. "To where?"
"India!
"China!"
"Japan!"
The three girls yelled all at once. Moses' face had confusion spread all over it. Lilo spoke up. "You guys, Myrtle went to Maui. Kumu, they were saying that it was where they wanted to go. They're just being silly."
"Okay." He stretched the word to let the girls know he did not believe any of them.
The day went by smoothly. Moses was pleased to see Lilo and the other three girls getting along than the usual. Of course, Teresa, Yuki, and Elena falsely insulted Lilo to avoid Moses becoming too suspicious. Moses taught the class quicker than before and only had to pause because the girls had mini fights. With the lessons done, he told them they could have ten minutes all to themselves. Teresa, Elena, and Yuki colored in a scrapbook far away from Lilo and Stitch who were drawing peculiar creatures.
A minute later, Lilo came up to Moses to ask if she could use his coloring pencils. She knew it would seem awkward if she asked one of the three girls for one and they either say yes or no. Moses reached into his desk and pulled out a box containing 10 sharpened colored pencils. Lilo thanked him then turned to walk away. However, she failed to see the sharp corner of the desk. Her left arm scratched against the sharp point, causing the skin to peel off with it. She looked back at her arm. She could see the crimson blood trickling down her arm.
Lilo seethed in pain then turned to Stitch who was staring at her with mild concern. When he noticed she just scraped her arm by accident, his tensed muscles loosened and he came up to see if there was something he could do about her arm. Lilo was about to speak until something else made her stop. Stitch's arm had a purple scrape on it too and his blood gradually trickled down his arm.
"S-Stitch..." She stuttered. "Your arm is bleeding too."
Stitch's face screwed up in puzzlement. He glanced at his arm to see magenta blood seeping from his bicep. His eyes bulged in surprise. "But, I didn't do anything. I felt a little pain, but that was it. How did I?" He couldn't finish his question. He was too shocked.
The girls and Moses also surprised by what happened. Lilo reached for two tissues. She handed one to Stitch who began wiping his blood off. Before Lilo could wipe her own blood off, it already smeared. It looked as if she did wipe it off. She watched as Stitch cleaned up the last of his blood until it was just a scratch. She turned back to her arm to see, much to her amazement, that the blood no longer trailed down her arm. Instead, it was just a scratch. Like Stitch's.
What's going on here? Lilo thought to herself.
"What do you mean what's going on?" Stitch asked as he turned to her after discarding his bloody tissue.
"Did you just read my mind?" Lilo questioned.
Stitch raised an eyebrow. "No, you asked what's going on here. What do you mean?" He looked at the tissue she was still holding then back at her arm. It surprised him to see her wound had turned into nothing but a scratch and the tissue wasn't bloody at all. In fact, it looked as if she just plucked it out barely a second ago.
Why isn't her tissue bloody if she didn't even use it?
"I don't know why my tissue isn't bloody Stitch. It just cleared up." Lilo replied.
"How did you know what I was thinking?" Stitch asked.
"What do you mean? You said it out loud didn't you?"
"No, I didn't."
"Lilo, what's going on here?" Moses enquired.
"I don't know Kumu." Lilo responded then reached for Stitch's hand. "We need to see Jumba."
With that, Lilo dragged Stitch out the door.
