Lilo sat in the movie theater, staring at the screen. Images and sound rushed by her, and despite paying as much attention to it as she could, she retained nothing of what she saw or heard. All of her thoughts were occupied by the small form of Stitch sitting to the left of her. Nearly impossible to see, she would constantly steal glances at him. Every time the screen went bright, a clear outline would illuminate his form, sending her heart into a frenzy. She didn't know why her heart would beat so hard. It started the moment Stitch picked her up from the bench. She had now been Stitch's girlfriend for a week, and suddenly something switched on in her head at that moment. We're on a date. A real date. A romance movie date. Her mind was nearly running at a mile a minute. It's okay, Lilo. Calm down. You've been to the movie lots of times with Stitch. Just because you weren't with him with him at the time doesn't change anything. We are just a normal couple, watching a normal movie.

She took a drink of her cola, freezing suddenly at the sensation of Stitch's fur brushing her arm. A shiver went down her spine at his touch. Slowly, over the course of the week, her mind became more and more occupied with Stitch. Every touch from him would send her head, heart, and body into a frenzy. It's completely normal. Right? We've just started dating, of course things will feel a little different. Of course I would only be thinking about him.

She remembered one thing about the romance movies that she didn't think about before. The kiss. The couple would always kiss in the theater. In the safety of darkness. Starting with the boy, pretending to yawn, he would wrap his arm around the girl. She would look at him, and him at her. Then, like a force that couldn't be broken, they would get closer and closer together until their lips met.

Lilo looked around the room. Eye's trying to make out as many shapes as she could. They were near the back, and from what she could remember before the lights dimmed and from the few shapes she could make out, it appeared that the theater was just under halfway full. At the very least no one was paying attention to them. The second she realized it, her heart sped up even more. Lilo was sure that Stitch could hear her heart beating, but he made no sign of it. She could feel her face glow with her increasing heat and was glad that it was too dark to see it properly. Why am I so embarrassed? We've kissed tons of times now. Never in such a public setting before, though. Lilo didn't care about the public displays of affection. She would proudly declare her love at the top of her lungs if necessary. However, the atmosphere, the ideas, the classic setting. It was all creating a tension as she waited painstakingly for the moment Stitch made his move. She began to crave it more and more as time went by.

Stitch was enjoying his date with Lilo. It was a relief to get to spend time with her without worrying about the issues at hand. On his way back from the house, he decided that he would spend this date without worry. That he would make the entire time the best he could. Because once it was over, he had to finally start doing what he could to get his old Lilo back. Every so often he would look out of the corner of his eye at his girlfriend. He didn't risk using his night vision in fear of being spotted, but even in the darkness her beauty lit up the room to him.

He tried to shift himself closer, feeling his arm brush up against hers, making him nervous again. Why am I so nervous? He stole another look as the screen grew bright, catching her looking at him in the process. They both looked away as quickly as they could, hiding their red faces from each other. Calm down, Stitch. It's just Lilo. Nothing to be nervous about. He could feel his heart race in his chest and he could hear it pounding in his ears. Is she feeling all of this too, I wonder?

He looked at me. Lilo thought, playing with her hair excessively. He caught me looking at him! Will he think I'm weird?

The movie will be over soon. I didn't make any move. Would she be disappointed? Stitch mulled over Lilo's actions the past little while. How she was very giddy to go to a movie together. How she picked to sit so far in the back when normally she enjoyed the middle. Yes, she would. How do they do it in those movies? He thought hard about his actions. He couldn't simply ask her to kiss, he needed to show her that he wanted to.

Lilo was still completely embarrassed about being caught staring at him. She felt herself freeze completely when she heard Stitch yawn. Is it happening? A warm arm wrapped around her waist, holding her strong. She could feel it tremble slightly against her, and she was finally able to move again. It's happening. She looked over at Stitch, finding his eyes locked onto hers. This time they didn't look away. Just like in the movies, a force drew them together. Neither one of them moved on their own, but they found themselves unable to pull away. Slowly, their faces got ever closer together, to the point that they could feel each other's breath mix together before them. A slight pause was shared between the two, and then their lips finally met.

It was a completely different feeling than before. It held just as much passion and love as every kiss of theirs shared. However, this one was filled with a hidden excitement. They had never been around people when they shared a tender passion filled moment before. Only sharing quick kisses out in public, this was far from what they were used to. Something about the whole situation made the entire moment that more exciting. At any moment they could be spotted, and they truly didn't care. All the other people no longer existed to them. Lilo's heart began to race more and more as Stitch pulled her in deeper. Disappointed that she could no longer get closer to him, due to the arm rest between them, she pulled him out of his seat and on her lap. Never once did their kiss break throughout the entire shifting of positions. She fell back into her seat, letting Stitch lean over her slightly as he ran his fingers down her arm, sending the shivers she loved throughout her body. Several minutes of bliss passed before they finally started to slow their kissing down. After a few moments, their lips parted and Stitch rested his forehead against hers as he caught his breath.

The rest of the movie, Stitch sat on Lilo's lap. It made it more difficult to watch the movie, but they would rather be close than pay attention anyway. Once the lights came on and the credits began to roll, they quickly dashed out of the theater. Energy still pumped through their bodies and they needed some way to let it escape. Stitch led the way as they weaved through pedestrians on the sidewalks, almost knocking a few people over but not stopping in any way.

Once they were a few blocks away from the theater they finally stopped, chests rising and falling from the hard and sudden run.

"That was amazing." Lilo said, remembering back to the kiss they shared in the darkness.

"Ih." Stich replied, face turning red once again.

"We need to do that more often." She saw him turning a bright shade of magenta out of the corner of her eye. Suppressing a giggle, she saw him still smile despite the ever apparent blush on his face. "It felt really good."

She slumped against the way behind them, slowly falling to the ground. She stretched her legs out, sore from the run. "We sat for so long my legs started falling asleep."

Stitch rested up beside her, rubbing the leg closest to him to help stretch out the muscle. "Better?"

"Much. Thank you."

"Anything for youga." He continued his rubbing, making sure that his Lilo would be fine. "Gaba weega do now?"

"I'm not sure." She thought for a moment, still enjoying the feeling of his light massage. "What else do couples do on dates?"

The sun was starting to get low in the sky, signifying the days end approaching. Despite this, they were determined not to head home until as late as possible. Being a teenager now, Nani allowed Lilo to be out later than she used to. With Stitch with her, they had nothing to worry about as well.

"Well we could-"Stitch began right before his stomach started to rumble.

"Heehee." Lilo smiled and giggled at him. "Getting hungry now?"

"Ih." Stitch replied, rather embarrassed.

"We should probably go eat then, shouldn't we?"

Stitch nodded his head in agreement. "Where youga want to go?"

Lilo looked up and down the street. Trying to both figure out what she would like, and what's nearby for them. "I'm not sure…I just want to be with you."

With the decision now on Stitch, he instantly knew what he wanted to pick. Something rather fitting, if I do say so myself. "Meega know where."

"Oh? Where are we going?"

Stitch shook his head. "Isa surprise."

Lilo didn't know where Stitch was leading her. He just took her hand and she let herself get dragged away. Her eyes didn't once leave Stitch. The world could have been exploding around her and she wouldn't have noticed. All that mattered to her was that Stitch was there with her, and she was with him. After walking a few blocks, they had finally reached their destination. It was a new luau restaurant that had opened up on the edge of town. Overlooking the beach and ocean it was more meant for tourists. However, it allowed a nice romantic setting that was perfect for an evening outside under the stars.

The two found some difficulty getting into the restaurant. The girl at the front was absolutely set on not letting animals in, despite Stitch clearly not being an animal to Lilo. Before she could lose her temper again, the manager had come over to see the problem. Upon discovering that it was Lilo and Stitch, he instantly let them through and gave them the best seat in the establishment, a nice table that gave a perfect view of the stage and the ocean. During their adventures a few years ago, they helped the man with an experiment problem. He kept saying he was indebted to them, but they didn't really understand why. They were just doing their jobs.

After their order was finally taken, the two sat as close together as they could and watched the show. The low orange glow of the sun bathed everything in a warm hue. The ocean itself rivaling the fire of the torches.

"I can't believe it was Mr. Robinson that started this place up." Lilo said, looking out onto the ocean.

"Ih. Weega haven't seen him since Putdown was activated."

Lilo felt a shudder crawl through her body at the memory. "Ugh. Don't remind me."

"Soka." Stitch replied with a giggle. "It was really nice of him to let us in."

"Well you should be allowed anywhere. With all you've done for the planet."

Stitch could feel the gaze and odd looks from the others around them. He wasn't sure if it was just because he was an "animal" sitting at the table, or if it was because he had is arm around Lilo. Out of the corner of his eye he could see the waiters and waitresses whispering amongst themselves. Once he turned his head to look at them, they suddenly stopped and turned away. With a great sigh he looked back to Lilo, seeing the sparkle in her eye.

"Why did you pick this place anyway?" Lilo hadn't been to a place like this in a long time.

"The first supper weega have together was at a luau. Meega thought it would be nice to do it again for weega's first date."

Lilo looked down at him, and gave him a kiss, melting all of his troubles away.

"This is perfect." She whispered. "Thank you so much for this."

"Meega do anything for youga."

The two continued their conversation until their food finally arrived. Lilo could also feel the stares of the crowd, but she didn't care. Keep looking. None of you get to be with the most amazing person in the galaxy. She smirked to herself as she ate her meal, feeling proud that she was with Stitch. Nothing could ruin the high she felt right then.

"I didn't ask before, Stitch." Lilo began, letting Stitch swallow the food in his mouth before continuing. "But, how are you affording all of this?"

"Gaba youga mean?" Stitch asked nervously. He was hoping to keep his cache of money a secret, and he had hoped that Lilo wouldn't question how he was paying for everything.

"Well you've spent almost a hundred dollars on us already. Neither one of us has a job. Sure the United Galactic Federation gives me a little money for being Ambassador, but where did you get yours?"

Stitch mulled it over in his mind, deciding it best not to keep it a secret from her any longer. "Meega actually has lots of money."

"What? More than what you've spend tonight?"

"Lots more." He replied, a little proud of himself.

"How much exactly?"

"A few thousand." Lilo dropped her fork, the clang attracting the attention of those around them. She never imagined Stitch could have so much money. Maybe a couple hundred from how he was spending it tonight, but she never imagined it would be in the thousands.

"Meega been saving it for something special."

"If you've been saving it, why spend some of it tonight then?"

"Because youga isa special." He said with the most loving smile she had ever seen.

She felt herself grow quiet again. She was flattered and embarrassed at the same time. Stitch had gone back to eating, but Lilo couldn't move. She knew she meant a lot to Stitch, but with everything that had happened that night she was finally seeing just how far he would go for her. He saved so much money, and was willing to just spend it on her. It was just to spend time with her too, he didn't buy anything fancy, just diner and a movie. She slowly went back to eating, still confused as to how he managed to make so much money.

"Where did you get it all?" She finally asked.

"Meega do odd jobs for people. When youga at school or busy, naga nota gaba to do. So meega started doing odd jobs. People started offering money for it. At first meega didn't let them, but soon they insist. Meega been saving ever since." Lilo listened intently to him. She had no idea that he had been doing this. Even after saving the planet he still kept doing things for people. Stitch snickered to himself. "Meega at first thought isa good way to keep goodness level up. Then meega think meega can put it towards something. Now meega nota gaba spend it on. Youga."

"That's really sweet, Stitch." She felt her cheeks start to flush again. "But I can't let you spend it all on me though."

"Naga. Meega spend it on us." Lilo loved the way he said 'us.' It had such a beautiful ring to it. All her doubts of Stitch's worries washed away from her. This must be what he was so distant about. I was so silly to worry over it. She knew now that Stitch truly loved her more than anything, all the signs that something was wrong in the past week were gone from her mind.

They continued their meal and conversation throughout the evening. After a little while Lilo had ordered dessert for them, not worrying about the cost of it all. The sun had long since set, and now the ocean was a lit with the sparkling of the stars. The luau was slowly emptying, but kept shows going late into the night. Stitch didn't know what was more beautiful. The view, the shows, or Lilo. Of course it's Lilo.

Without thinking to, the two cuddled close together in their seat. The odd looks had long since stopped, and now the waiters and waitresses actually started finding them cute. Stitch was starting to see that people could accept them. Could accept him. He wasn't an animal or a person. He was himself, and Lilo loved him for that. He grabbed onto her waist tighter, pulling her attention on him. She smiled her heartwarming smile, and Stitch moved some hair that had fallen in front of her face. They didn't know who initiated it, and it truly didn't matter. The two shared a tender kiss in the moonlight. The warm glows of the tiki torches all around them, and the distant sound of waves rolling against the shore. It was truly a beautiful moment. Both Lilo and Stitch wished that it would have lasted a little longer.

"See! I told you." Came a high pitched voice from behind them.

"Eeeeeeewwww." Chorused slowly after, completely shattering the mood.
