Finding A Place Where They Belong
A/N Here's more.
Mahalo to Kitten630 and Stitch8000 for their reviews because they make me want to write more. The idea for Marina making a wish on the Spiritual Stone to heal Rueben came from the Stitch anime from the season one finale. I hope he'll be okay.
During dinner, Lilo and the others noticed that Marina was very quiet and picking at her dinner but Jumba understood why she was sad because she was thinking about Rueben but was unaware that she'd made a wish on the Spiritual Stone to help him get better from his injuries.
Lilo was the only one who knew.
"I'm sure it'll work.
If it has the power to grant the wishes, it'll work." she whispered to the hybrid teen told her as she nodded in reply.
"I'm not very hungry." Marina said excusing herself from the table but Yuna understood along with the others seeing her leave.
"She's worried about Rueben.
I don't blame her." Lilo thought as they ate......
Marina sighed opening the door of the Big Red Battleship and went in. She heard the machines beeping as Rueben lay there in a small bed as she stroked his fur.
"I-I miss hearing you and being with you.
Please wake up.
You thought you were weak but fighting to keep our ohana safe but especially me ignited your iner strength but if you want when you wake up, Jumba and I could help you be stronger like you want to be.
I love you.
I always have since the day we met but I never had the courage to tell you." she said kissing him.
She heard footsteps as Lilo came in seeing her there with Rueben but understood how she was feeling like when Stitch was glitching.
"H-Hey Marina....... you okay?" she asked softly.
"I-I'm okay Lilo...... honestly." the hybrid teen answered looking away as tears were in her eyes.
She saw a tear hit Rueben's chest.
"Don't worry I'm sure he'll be okay." she assured her as they began to leave but Lilo gasped.
Blue light began to engulf the ship.
Rueben was in a place filled with beauty and felt no pain as his cuts were gone but somebody stopped him.
"This isn't your time, not yet.
Somebody out there needs you." a voice said to him as he realised who it was.
He gasped seeing who it was.
It was an angel and it looked like Marina.
"Yeah I understand.
I'll see you soon." he said as blue light engulfed the plane surrounding him as he was being pulled back from where ever he was back to those who cared about him deeply.....
Jumba was surprised as he followed Lilo into the Big Red Battleship and gasped seeing Marina engulfed in the mystical energy as she saw Rueben's eyes open slowly as she hugged him. They were surprised by this but Jumba was very curious as to how it happened but Lilo knew seeing her tenage friend happy.
"I know how Rueben woke up.
I kind of...... wished on the Spiritual Stone to help him because I care about him." Marina said to her uncle who understood.
Yuna understood how it had happened.
"It was Love that did it.
I know how much they both care about each other." she said to Jumba as the Quanta Quaglian explained later that night.
He understood as he went to the Big Red Battleship.
Rueben was lying there in bed eating a sandwich slowly.
He was just surprised as Jumba but touched that Marina cared about him enough to heal him through the Spiritual Stone to help him.
Jumba saw him blush as he felt weird thinking about Marina.
"What's wrong with me Dr J?" he asked him weakly.
A smile crossed Jumba's face before answering.
"It's Love 625.
I know you were betrayed by Amore but I can tell you trust Marina with your heart.
No biggie." he answered him.
"Yeah I guess but....... does she feel the same?
I don't want to feel rejected any more." Rueben asked.
"Of course 625.
She healed you using the mystical energy of the Spiritual Stone.
Nothing says Love like that." Jumba told him.
"Thanks Dr J.
I'll think about it." he told him falling asleep......
Lilo saw Marina sleeping with a smile on her face but knew why because she loved Rueben but hoped he felt the same but was thinking about the future but also saw worry in Jumba's eyes as she joined him sitting on the porch.
"What's wrong Jumba?" she asked him.
"Yuna wanted us to stay but I told her I'd think about it but I like Okinawa but I miss Hawali.
We'll see them again." he told her as Obaa understood.
"Don't worry about Yuna.
I'll tell her and Yuri for you." she said as Lilo saw Jumba and the others pack and get into the Big Red Battleship.
But Lilo saw Yuri watch them leave with Yuna.
"Don't worry.
We'll see them again.
I know it." Yuna told her daughter as the Big Red Battleship left engaging hyperdrive.
"Please come back soon." she whispered.
