Angel was busy cleaning her entire house. After the battle with the Leroy clones, she and some of the other experiments had built their own places to live together. Seeing as some of their one true places couldn't be lived in, like Sparky's, they needed someplace safe to stay. With the help of Cobra Bubbles and the CIA, a small area, just off of Lilo's home town, was bought and made into a small experiment community. Angel loved her bright pink bungalow, the white trim on the outside matched her fur perfectly. Even now she still had troubles believing that all the fighting was over for good, that she could finally just relax. Every now and then she would go sing at local restaurants, of course not to turn experiments bad, just for fun.

I never really got to sing for myself until now. It's really a lot of fun. She continued working while humming to herself. While vacuuming the living room, she accidently bumped into her wooden side table, knocking down a picture frame. She turned off the vacuum and picked it up, wiping some dirt away with her hand, she couldn't help but give a pained smile as she looked at the old memory. Inside the dark blue frame held a picture of her and Stitch, just a few months ago, before she had broken up with him. They were sharing an ice-cream cone and Angel was licking off some stray ice-cream on Stitch's cheek. It felt like only yesterday, she could still feel Stitch's hand in her own whenever she felt sad or alone.

It was for the best. He wouldn't have been happy with me. Lilo is who he belongs with… I wonder how the two of them are doing. I haven't seen them in a while. Maybe I'll give them a call later. She put the picture back on the side table and continued her cleaning. Wiping down the windows she saw a tan yellow experiment walking into his own yellow and white house across the street. Feeling eyes on him, Reuben turned around and waved at Angel, who waved back, before heading into his own home. I really should go talk to Rueben sometime. I wonder why he isn't with Gantu anymore. Maybe I'll give him a call too, some lunch and tea would be nice. She quickly shook the thought of her having lunch with Reuben away, feeling her cheeks warm a little.

After a little while, the entire house was sparkling. Having moped, vacuumed, wiped, and dusted, Angel stood in the living room, admiring her work. She couldn't help but enjoy the satisfaction of making something, rather than destroying everything.

"Felix makes it look easy." She said while wiping some sweat from her forehead. Normally her fur didn't make her feel hot, but after running around for a few hours she couldn't help but need a rest. Grabbing a glass of water from the kitchen, she finally sat down. She turned on her blue record player and started listening to some music while closing her eyes for a little relaxation. Unfortunately, the moment of bliss was short lived, as a knock at the door caused her face to contort in disbelief.

"Just as meega sat down too. Who could it be?" She sighed as she turned off the music.

Putting on a fake smile, she opened the front door, wishing she had a little more time to relax. When she opened the door though, her face grew bright with joy.

"Lilo! Stitch!" Gaba youga doing here?"

"Aloha, Angel." Lilo replied with a wave. "We thought we should come for a visit, is it alright if we come in?"

"Ih. Come in, come in." She waved them in with great eager, all previous thoughts of anger completely leaving her.

Stitch kept behind Lilo slightly. Trying to hide as much as he could. In truth, he hadn't visited Angel's house since their break up. He actually hadn't seen her much at all in the two months since. Neither one really knew how to act around each other anymore. Being led into the adjoined living room, Lilo and Stitch sat on the couch as Angel made her way into the kitchen.

"Would youga like something to drink?" Angel called.

"Yes please, some juice would be nice."

Angel gave the two their drinks and went to sit in the rocking chair in the corner by the book case. Facing the two she noticed something different about the way they behaved.

"Meega glad to see youga again. Gaba youga doing over here?"

"Well actually, Stitch wanted to tell you something."

"Meega?"

Stitch froze, it occurred to him that he had to thank her for helping him realize his feelings, but she was still his ex-boojiboo. The three sat there in an awkward silence that made their ears ring. Angel was more confused than anything as she saw Stitch shake from his nerves. Her senses suddenly heightened when she saw Lilo grab Stitch's hand, looking into each other's eyes he began calming down instantly. What?

"Angel. Meega wanted to say, takka-youga."

"Takka? Gaba for?" She couldn't help but notice that they were still holding hands.

"Because of youga, meega realize feelings for Lilo. Without youga, meega never confess."

"Confess? So then youga?"

"We're together." Lilo exclaimed as she put an arm around Stitch, pulling him in close.

Angel shrieked in excitement, jumping out of her chair. "Meega so happy for youga!" She really was happy for them, but a part of her couldn't help but feel jealous. Her feelings for Stitch never completely left her, and while she gave up on the thought that she would be with him again, she did wish they had never needed to end their relationship.

She pulled Lilo from the couch and the two began jumping around in celebration. Not paying attention to her surroundings, Lilo bumped into the side table knocking the picture frame down again while falling herself.

"Ow, my arm." Lilo winced, rubbing the spot she had fallen on. Angel was about to help Lilo up when Stitch jumped between the two of them, shielding Lilo protectively and growling at Angel.

"Stitch?" She tried to step forward to help, but her helping hand was swatted away by an increasingly terrifying Stitch. "Gaba youga doing?"

He continued to growl, anger growing inside him. Seeing Lilo get hurt, he couldn't hold back what his very DNA told him to do. He saw Angel as a threat and needed to protect his love. Angel backed away in fear. She had never seen Stitch like this before, it was like he was a different person. Before any more harm could be done, Lilo wrapped her arms around him.

"It's okay, Stitch." She whispered.

He didn't respond, his breathing had grown heavy against his control.

"I'm okay."

Stitch started looking around, beginning to calm down, but still looking at Angel threateningly.

"Don't worry, Stitch. Angel didn't hurt me. It was an accident." She began petting his fur, she could feel his breathing turn back to normal.

Stitch turned around and looked at Lilo, showing nothing but fear on his face. She continued petting the back of his head, giving him a soft comforting kiss on his forehead.

"Stitch?" said a worried voice from behind him. He turned around, seeing Angel looking terrified, confused, and hurt all at the same time.

With great guilt, Stitch apologized to both girls, then excused himself to the bathroom to calm down. Lilo fell back to the ground with a sigh of relief. Seeing Angel look at her quizzically, she began telling her everything they knew. Beginning with how Stitch began feeling something change inside him, and what Jumba had told them about the experiments ability to fall and love and what it would do. While it provided explanation, it still pained Angel for many reasons. To start, she had never had Stitch direct his anger at her in such a way, and because she and Stitch never developed this programming together. I guess he never really did love me. Looking out of the window she saw the little yellow house that mirrored her own, feeling herself blush again. But I guess that means I didn't love him as much either. Feeling better with her revelation, she helped Lilo off of the floor and checked her arm, judging that it would be okay on it's own.

Before sitting back down, Lilo picked up the picture she had knocked over. Looking at the image it contained she couldn't help but feel guilty about what they had done. Maybe we shouldn't have come and told her. It hasn't been that long since they broke up.

"I'm sorry, Angel."

"Gaba for."

"You really loved Stitch. I shouldn't have come here and bragged about my relationship with him." Lilo turned away, placing the photo of the two experiments back in its place.

"Lilo." Angel began as she placed a tender hand on Lilo's shoulder. "Isa oketaka."

"Really?"

"Ih. True, meega still have feelings for Stitch, but meega and him are over. Youga truly love him, ih?"

"I do. I really do. I wish I had realized sooner."

"Then isa oketaka." Angel smiled at her friend. "Youga do what is best for youga and Stitch."

Lilo pulled Angel into a hug that she happily returned.

"Isa there a way to help, Stitch?" Angel asked once their embrace ended.

Guilt pushed aside, Lilo explained about the machine Jumba had made, and how she and Stitch each had a different thought on whether it should be used or not.

"Meega agree with Stitch."

"I understand why you and Stitch agree, but I've seen Stitch lose control. I've seen how much it pains him, how much he can fear himself. I wasn't there for him when he had his glitch, and I'm never letting something like that happen again."

"Meega understand, but youga must know weega want youga safe too."

"I know." Lilo said with a smile.

"So Jumba make machine safe for youga?"

"Yeah. When we were on our way over here he told us it will work, it should be finished Monday."

"That's a relief."

"It is. I'm just worried about how Stitch is taking it. That was the first time he really lost control."

Both of the girls looked away, neither one really knew what to say after that. Every now and then they would look at each other and smile awkwardly. Mostly though, Lilo would stare down at her hands and play with her fingers. Angel was acting similar, but instead she looked out the window, contemplating her feelings for Stitch, and the feelings she felt earlier while she was cleaning and thinking about Reuben.

Meanwhile, Stitch was in the light blue bathroom staring at himself in the mirror. Taking in every detail of his guilt ridden face as a bead of sweat rolled down his fur. It's getting stronger. It's not like the glitch. Then I had no realization of what was happening, now I'm completely aware of what I'm doing. He ran some cool water over his hands and splashed his face with the refreshing liquid. What am I going to do? He let the water drip into the sink. Can I make it through to Monday? Angel didn't even do anything and I was ready to tear her apart if she even got close to Lilo… He looked down at his hands, seeing his claws gleam in the bright bathroom light. I can do it. For Lilo…with Lilo. What a great thank-you that was.

Stitch stopped the water and dried his face off. Looking back in the mirror he tried his best to wipe the pain off his face. Returning to the living room, he found it very quiet. The moment he walked into view Lilo's face brightened with a great smile, pulling all his attention to her. She lightened his heavy heart, no longer feeling guilty about what happened.

Taking her welcoming hand, he turned to Angel. "Meega soka, Angel."

"Isa oketaka. Lilo explained everything. Meega know it wasn't yougas fault."

With a slight smile, he turned to Lilo. "Meega think weega get going now?"

"Alright. Is that okay with you Angel?"

"Ih. Meega go back to what meega was doing."

The two said their good-byes and made their way out to the buggy. As soon as they drove off, Angel went back to listening to her music, starting to fall asleep. A nap would be good. She thought. I'll give Reuben a call later. Beginning to blush, the pink experiment fell asleep, dreams of a yellow experiment and her having lunch together filled her mind.

Stitch drove with no destination in mind. Letting the wind take them wherever it wishes to.

"You okay, Stitch?"

"Ih. Meega just need to cool off. Get back control."

"Hmm. Well, would taking your mind off of it help?"

"Depends what youga had in mind."

Lilo didn't answer, instead she leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder. Stitch rested his head on hers, never taking his eyes off the road in front of them, when he felt her hand on his leg. She slowly petted his thigh, sending shivers down his spine. She slowly moved her hand up and down his leg before making her way up to his chest. Stitch enjoyed the treatment from the girl beside him, but began having trouble concentrating on the road. Finding a road that lead into a bunch of trees, Stitch quickly turned into the cover and parked the buggy.

"What are you do-" Before Lilo could finish her sentence, Stitch had cupped her face with his hand and pulled her into a deep kiss. Both their hearts began to beat intensely, each trying to take control of the moment. Stitch didn't even bother undoing his seatbelt, breaking the kiss, he worked his way out of the restraints. He crawled over to Lilo, patiently awaiting him. Putting each knee on either side of Lilo's legs, he extended his lower arms and gently grabbed her shoulders. Being forced against her seat, Lilo's breathing began to quicken. She could feel her heart race more and more in anticipation. Stitch could feel his breath mix with hers as he lost himself in her chocolate brown eyes. Noticing a small glint in them despite the slight lack of sun in their hidden alcove of trees. He used his main hands to cup the back of her head, running his fingers through her hair, as the other one was placed on her cheek. His second pair rubbed down her arms slowly, never letting her back leave the chair.

With a shudder and a whimper, Lilo's lips quivered, wanting to feel Stitch's pressed against them once again. Stitch continued watching her, he could see her eyes gloss over in anticipation, pleasure, and pleading. He grew a mischievous smile, loving the teasing he was giving his boojiboo. Before she became too impatient, Stitch gave into both of their increasing desires, reveling in the feeling of her soft tan lips against his. Closing her eyes in a gasp of relief, Lilo let Stitch continue kissing her as roughly as he wished, taking pleasure in his lips and his hands. She slowly became little more than putty as she felt herself give into him. Stitch continued his treatment for a few long minutes. All sense of time left him as he finally gave into his programming. Rather than the protective side he could finally feel the passion and love that had been bottled up for years. The blessing of their friends gave them the confidence they needed to truly give in to what they subconsciously wished for for so long.

Stitch pulled away, looking deeply into Lilo's tanned face as it glowed from the rush. Their breath was short and they could do little more than huff to get air flowing through them again. Having finally calmed down, Stitch took his place back in his seat, turning on the buggy once again. The gentle rocking of the engine stirred Lilo back to her senses. With a long sigh, she stretched as if she had just awoken from the most wonderful dream of her young life.

"So, after the machine calms down your genetics, do you think we can do more of that?" Lilo asked as they took back to the road. "Or, do you think that will be calmed down too?"

"Meega will always want to do that with youga."

"I'm glad." She could see a dreamy look come through Stitch's pitch black eyes. Despite any colour, his emotions always showed clearly. Giggling to herself, she saw they made it into town, a costume shop zooming past them. "Hey, Stitch. I think I just got an idea on how to get you into the dance."

"Gaba isa it?"

"We could have Mopholomew change your appearance for the night. No one will know it's you, and we can have the most romantic evening."

Contemplating it for a moment, Stitch thought about the alternative option. Not going. "Meega would enjoy that."

"Yay!" Lilo exclaimed throwing her hands into the air, feeling the cool air rush past them. The blush on her cheeks had yet to fade, but she didn't mind. She had never felt as excited as she had then. "We should go to the mall then for new clothes then."

"Oketaka." Stitch spun the buggy around 180 degrees and headed towards the highway to make their way to Kukui Grove.

While the couple enjoyed their day, Jumba continued to toil in his lab. Having not stopped working since the previous night, Jumba could feel exhaustion start to take over. Shutting the welding unit in his hand off, he backed away from his machine, wiping sweat from his brow with his free hand. He removed his four-eyed goggles and placed the welding device with the rest of his tools.

"Ugh. I can't be stopping now. Any delay could be catastrophic… But I am in needing of a "pick-me-up', as the earthlings be saying." He left his lab to reach the kitchen area of his ship. Pouring himself some galactic brand coffee he sat at the round table in the middle of the room. "At least little girl will be being safe once it is over. Where would evil genius be without her?"

Jumba mulled over his life before meeting his new family. All the time spent alone, doing nothing but create, angry at the universe for not understanding his brilliant ideas. A home planet that made him an outcast, family not wanting anything to do with him. Not to mention his ex-wife, thinking about her made him shudder in fear.

"I am just hoping the side effects are not being too severe. Who knows what 626 would do to me if something were to happen to his boojiboo."

With a newly appointed resolve, Jumba went back to his lab. He was determined to be finished in the three days that he promised the couple. "Please don't be too severe."
