Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own story, plot, and three experiments: Drea, Slyther, and Master

Note- I wasn't going to update chapter 21 until tomorrow, but I thought I should update now since last chapter was pretty short, dull, and had some people confused. I wrote four review replies tonight because people took the Master-calling-Slyther-his-son part the wrong way. In case I get anonymous reviewers or people that follows the story, but don't want to review and they get confused about the Master and Slyther part, I'll say it now.

Master only called Slyther his son because he's proud of him. Slyther has Angel under the impression he loves her or at least cares for her, but he's only doing that to deceive Angel and kill Lilo in the end. That's something Master would do. So since Slyther is betraying Angel by doing all of this, he thinks of Slyther as his own son, someone he raised to be just like him. When Drea was in the picture, before she died, she only had phenomenal smarts that made Master warm up to her slightly. However, Master didn't think of her as his daughter because she doesn't do things he would do. Slyther is deceiving Angel in order to get Lilo killed in the end and Master is proud of that.

To make the long explanation short, Slyther is not Master's real son. Jumba made Slyther, Master, and Drea by his own hands with some help from his deceased father of course. Sorry for the creepiness and confusion. Now, enjoy the story!

A navy blue engulfed the entire sky. Tiny stars dotted the sky and the moon hung in the night sky like a teardrop. Judging from this sky, you would think everybody would be having a blissful sleep. However, there were two people in the Pelekai household that didn't get a decent sleep.

In the dome, Lilo and Stitch cringed in their sleep as they held onto each other tightly. Lilo whimpered as she cuddled as close as she could to Stitch who gripped her firmly, but not enough to squeeze the air out of her. Her hands clutched his shoulders as she clenched her eyes shut, wrapping her legs forcefully around his waist.

Stitch's sharp claws clinched her raven hair, burying his face in it. He had her so close to him one would think they were glued together. He groped her back with his second set of arms, as if he was feeling to see she was there.

They were doing the impossible. They were sharing a dream.

Lilo, at the same age she was now, cowered in the dome. Her brown eyes stared fearfully at the platform. Her back pressed securely to the bed, her nails clenching the sheets in apprehension. Her heart stopped when the elevator began to whir. She had forgotten to lock the dome!

Her grip on the sheets tightened and attempted to urge her back against the bed. When she saw who was on the platform, her knees buckled and she fell to the floor.

Lilo's eyes began tearing up as she took in the sight of her malevolent prior lover. His fur still that navy blue, but it seemed darker. His claws that used to caress her back, her hair, her face, seemed sharper than they were before and deadly. His face. The face that used to carry around a light hearted smile now held a creepy smirk. His eyes scared her the most.

His eyes that used to gaze at her with love, warmth and tenderness. The eyes that resembled to black holes that enraptured her soul. The eyes that once made her heart thump against her ribcage at the fact he loved her. The eyes that would never more glance at her with love, warmth, and tenderness. Instead, they showed no fear, no disgust, nor hatred. They were just empty. Empty as if someone drained his soul and seized his emotions. They were just empty and cold.

"Stitch." Lilo breathed his name. "Please. Don't do this."

Stitch growled as he raised his knife, pointing the steel blade in between her eyes. "It's what Master wants me to do and I will obey him."

Lilo felt the cold tears trail along her cheeks and down the nape of her neck. "Stitch please. Why are you doing this? Don't I mean anything to you anymore? Doesn't anything we had mean to you?"

Stitch snarled and stepped closer to her. "Master made me see the powers I can unleash. The powers that can make me worthier than he is! He's my father and I'm his son (Only because he's doing things Master would do. He's not his real son). Whatever command he tells me to do, I follow through with it. His wish was to see you bleed and I'll do whatever it takes for him to see the sight."

"You've become his puppet! Stitch, I don't want to hurt you." Lilo muttered, but loud enough for him to hear.

"But I want to hurt you. I'm going to hurt you. Therefore, you need to defend yourself." Stitch responded darkly as he traced the pad of his index finger along the blade.

"Please Stitch, I love you." She replied hopelessly

Stitch turned to her quickly and Lilo saw a flash in his eyes. She didn't know if it was a flash of anger, a flash of sadness, or a flash of remembrance and love, but as soon as it came, it was gone. She gulped loudly and began backing away from him as he crept closer to her with the knife in his hand.

Lilo didn't know if her heart stopped beating or if it started pounding vigorously. All she knew was the fear of the one she still loved towering above her with a menacing look. She wished she could kiss him and press her body tightly to his just as she had done some time ago, but she knew if she did that, she'd be digging up her grave.

Stitch snaked a hand behind her neck, lightly grasping it with his cool fingers. He grinned sardonically at the shivers crawling up her spine. He pressed his body to hers, breathing in her scent and her own breathing. She had her lips parted, perfect for kissing. He ran the tip of his tongue along them, taking her by surprise. He smiled at her, but Lilo wasn't a fool to believe it was genuine.

He leaned closer, that twisted grin still on his face. Lilo knew right then and there her heart stopped pounding. She stared into Stitch's eyes, hoping she would see love in them. She saw nothing. He leaned closer until his lips brushed against her ear. She shivered once more in delight or fear, he wasn't so sure and frankly, neither was she.

"But I don't love you." He whispered in her ear just before bringing the knife down on her shoulder…

Their eyes flew open as a scream emitted from their lips. Lilo was terrified as she cuddled deeper to Stitch as if willing for their bodies to melt into each other. Stitch's eyes were wide with terror as he clutched onto his sobbing girlfriend. He gasped loudly while she clinched his fur and cried.

"Lilo, buchee-bu, it was only a dream. I-I-I'm sure it d-didn't mean any- anything buchee-bu." He spoke nervously, hoping that he was right.

"H-How ca-can you be s-s-so su-sure? Th-The same th-thing ha-happened w-wi-with your dreams o-of Master and th-the other two e-experi-experiments. May-Maybe this dr-dream is ano-another vi-vision into the the fut-future." Lilo sobbed, clutching her boyfriend tighter.

Stitch swallowed hard as he held her, whispering soothing words in her ear to calm her. The effort turned out to be futile. She still bawled into his chest, occasionally gasping and hiccupping. Stitch caressed her back, listening as her weeping steadily converted to low whimpers.

He pulled her away with an insignificant amount of space between them. Lilo sniffed as she peeked at him through misty brown eyes, bloodshot from tears.

"Do you want to get something to drink?" He muttered. "Maybe some water or warm milk?"

Lilo shook her head. "No, I'm fine. The dream just scared me. I'm okay. Really."

"You want to try to go back to sleep?" He asked, stroking her hair adoringly.

"Yeah, sleep." She mumbled and moved closer to hold him to her chest. "Goodnight Stitch."

"Goodnight Lilo." He whispered affectionately as he kissed her head then fell back to sleep.

The cold look in dream Stitch's eyes haunted them throughout the night.

Lilo and Stitch were still asleep even when the rays from the morning sun filtered through their closed windows. The time on the clock read 8:30 AM and the lovers wanted to sleep through the day. However, they didn't get their wish when Nani stepped on the elevator and brought her to their room.

Her face clearly showed disgust as she observed her sister in an alien's arms. Of course, she never minded before when they would hug because she knew it was merely a friendly embrace. Now, looking at them, the sight of their sentimental hug was enough to make her want to vomit her guts out.

How she fell in love with him I'll never understand. She thought to herself gruffly. Then again, she had always been the one with a weird taste in everything.

She strolled over to the sleeping couple. She lifted her hand and lightly shook her sibling's shoulder. "Lilo, wake up honey. It's 8:30. You want breakfast don't you?"

"Mmm not right now Nani. Too tired." She moaned and crawled closer to her boyfriend. Stitch responded by squeezing her tighter.

Nani bit back a rude retort then pulled the sheets back. Her eyes widened in a mixture of horror and distaste at the sight of Lilo's legs wrapped securely around Stitch's waist. She gritted her teeth and yanked on Lilo's tan arm. Lilo yelped as she felt Stitch's grip on her relinquish and fell to the floor.

Awoken by the fact someone ripped Lilo from his arms, Stitch opened his eyes to see an angry Nani glaring at Lilo.

"What are you doing! If I catch the both of you in that position again, I will make you two sleep in separate beds in different rooms. Actually, if I ever see you two in that position, I will make Stitch sleep outside in the doghouse!" Nani fumed.

Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Stitch thought as he watched Nani storm out her thoughts of them.

Nothing unusual of course. It's Nanizilla's habit of waking up grouchy and go on a rampage. Lilo thought back and heard her boyfriend chuckle lowly under his breath.

Nani heard him and took it the wrong way. She thought he was mocking her because of her protectiveness of Lilo. "You think it's funny don't you? You think it's so funny to toy with my sister's heart and make her think you love her. When in reality, you don't give a care about what will ever happen to her!"

Right when those words flew out of Nani's mouth, Lilo knew she was going to regret it later on. Stitch's eyes blazed with unconcealed rage and he stood on his hind legs. He snarled viciously at the young woman in front of him. "How dare you say something as stupid as that! I would give my last breath to save Lilo! She means the world to me! I love her with every piece of my heart and if you're so stubborn and selfish to accept that, then that's your problem! Don't you ever say anything negative about my love for Lilo! She's my everything."

"Really? Lilo, remember when Stitch and Angel were together?" Nani asked as she turned her attention to her younger sister.

"Don't you dare." He growled threateningly.

Nani didn't hear him, or at least pretended to and went on. "Remember how he would always abandon you? You spent all your time typing up plans to save his cousins and his precious girlfriend Angel. You didn't do anything else except arranging plans to save Angel and the others. Did he even thank you for it?"

"Yes, he did." Lilo said through her firmly gritted teeth. "He even hugged me!"

"Oh, then what happened afterwards? He avoided you so he could be with Angel. The only time you could be with him was when you two had an experiment to catch." Nani continued. Stitch growled but she went on. "Oh and let's not forget about Stitch leaving you so he could be captain of the BRB. He didn't want to stay with you Lilo, he wanted to be in space. Not with you."

"If I didn't want to be with her, then why did I return?" Stitch asked haughtily, resisting the urge to tear the woman in shreds with his claws.

"Probably because you realized Angel was still down on Earth? All your cousins was there too." Nani would've went on, but silenced when Stitch let out an animalistic outburst of rage.

"Shut up! I wanted to return to Earth because I wanted to be where I belonged, with Lilo! I know I screwed up badly in the past, but let me try to make it up to her! Have I done anything wrong to her after I broke up with Angel? No! I love her Nani." Stitch cried.

"Speaking of love, how can you just suddenly say you love her when you never did before in the past. If I can remember, it was Lilo that changed you and convinced me to let you live with her and be a part of our ohana. Did you love her then? I believe not. Then Angel comes along and you decide 'Aw heck, forget Lilo! I want a piece of that beautiful experiment. Lilo means nothing compared to her!' In fact, I heard you say to Angel that she means more to you than Lilo. You said that if Angel or Lilo were in danger, you'd save Angel in a heartbeat." Nani argued.

Lilo gasped. How could he?

Lilo, please, don't listen to her. Stitch pleaded to her using telepathy.

Did you say that Stitch? Lilo's voice sounded depressed and it made his heart clench in guilt.

Yes, I did.

So, I meant nothing to you back then?

Lilo please, that was in the past. Don't bring it up now.

No, I'm going to bring it up because if I meant nothing to you in the past, then what do I mean to you now?

Everything.

So I wasn't everything back then?

Lilo please…

Answer the question Stitch!

I cared about you.

Okay.

But, I loved Angel more.

So if Angel and I were dying and you only had to save one of us, who would it be?

I would save you!

And back then?

I would've saved you.

Don't lie.

How can you tell if I'm lying? Lilo please, can't you see she's trying to separate us?

Well, it's working. I can't believe you would do something like that to me Stitch.

Lilo I-

Save it. I don't want to hear it. I'm going to eat breakfast.

Stitch sighed as he watched Lilo slide off the bed and scurry past Nani to ride the elevator downstairs. He stared daggers at her through his narrowed eyes. "Now look at what you've done."

"I'm only trying to protect my little sister and you're just hurting her!" Nani argued. "Lilo's better off without you."

"Really? Because I'm getting the impression that it was I that snapped her out of her depression after her parents died. I bet that if she never met me, she'd kill herself." Stitch spat at her.

"Well I think Keoni is a better selection for Lilo."

"That brainless twit? The one who Lilo tries to impress, but he always ignores her? You think he deserves her?" Stitch asked outrageously.

"He's been showing improvement. Hasn't he been taking her out on dates? Yes, I do believe he's better for her. Heck, any experiment would be okay with her. I say Sparky should, he's sweet and he shows he cares."

"Sparky! You mean the experiment that forced himself on Lilo!" Stitch cried out, but instantly felt ashamed for letting that slip.

Instantly, Nani's expression softened. "He did what to my little sister?"

With that, she rode the elevator downstairs. Stitch slapped his face with the palm of his hand, cursing himself for his stupidity. He boarded the lift, but exited to see Nani embracing Lilo and telling her everything was going to be okay. Lilo's eyes watered with tears as she remembered what Sparky did to her. She glared at Stitch through her watery eyes while he looked at her with remorse.

Lilo shoved herself away from her sister's chest. Nani however, kept on yacking. "Why would he do that to you?"

"He was under the lust potion." Stitch answered. Nani and Lilo turned to face him. He went on. "He got it from three experiments of Jumba's. Pre 699, Pre 700, and Master, Pre 701."

"What do they want?" Nani demanded.

"They want me to join their gang." Stitch responded gradually. "They want me to kill Lilo in the next 6 days and join them, or they kill her themselves."

"See what you've done? You put my little sister in danger! She might die in the next six days!" Nani shrieked.

"No, she won't because I will be there protecting her. As I said before, I would give my last breath to save Lilo. They won't even lay a claw on her. I'll make sure of that." He replied with a defiant nod.

"You better." Nani angrily replied then turned to Lilo. "Baby, I'm sorry Sparky hurt you. Do you want me to call Cobra Bubbles and have him-"

"No! Sparky didn't know what he was doing alright! The lust potion made him do foolish things, it wasn't on his own accord. Now stop accusing the experiments and let Stitch and I be together. We love each other Nani, let us be!" Lilo interrupted.

"Fine." Nani agreed as she threw her hands in the air. "Go ahead and make the stupidest decision of your life, it's fine by me. Just don't come to me when he hurts you. I have enough knocking some sense into you."

With that, Nani spun on her heels and walked out through the front door. Stitch looked at Lilo, his heart aching at the lonely tears crawling down her face.

"Lilo, I-" He started, but Lilo interjected his sentence by running up to him and enveloping him in her embrace. He returned her hug and there they held each other. Lilo cried on his shoulder while he caressed her back. "Lilo, I'm sorry. It just slipped."

"I know." She sniffed. "I understand. I'm sorry I yelled at you in the dome. It just pained me to hear that I wasn't anything to you. But I know that's in the past Stitch, and I know you love me now. Right?"

"Of course I love you." He smiled. "I love you more than coconut cake and coffee."

She laughed. "Wow, you must be serious then."

He smiled and leaned forward to kiss her. She brought him closer to her, returning the kiss as passionately as she could. They pulled away and stared into each other's eyes dreamily. Stitch began to speak. "So, will you still go out with me?"

She giggled. "Yes, I will."

After having breakfast, Stitch took Lilo to the ship to teach her how to fight. The teaching lesson went on for about three hours. Stitch had taught her the basics of fighting, such as kicks and punches. He taught her how the experiments kick and how to build up power for the punch. He even gave her a stuffed dummy with large black and blue spots on him. The black spots were for kicking and blue spots were for punching.

Lilo struck the dummy with her fist at his nose, seeing as how there was an enormous blue spot right there. She hit that spot again and the spot disappeared. She then went for the black spot on the dummy's right kneecap. She kicked with all her strength to the dummy's kneecap, causing that spot to vanish. Stitch watched as she pummeled the lifeless dummy in front of her, occasionally complimenting her at her skills. Finally, all the spots on the dummy were gone and Stitch discarded it. He then brought out another dummy except this one had a routine.

Lilo watched as he demonstrated to her what she was going to do. The first thing Lilo saw on the dummy was a huge blue spot on his stomach. Stitch reeled his fist back and slammed it in the dummy's chest powerfully. That spot dissipated and the dummy bent over. Lilo noticed a large blue dot on the back of the dummy's head and Stitch brought both of his hands together, curled them into a two-handed fist, and brought them down hard on the dummy's head. This caused the dummy to fall on the floor headfirst.

Stitch turned to look at Lilo. "The dummy has a routine. Wherever you see the blue spot, you punch. When you see a black spot, you kick. I'll start the dummy over so you can get a different order. Are you ready buchee-bu?"

Lilo nodded. "Yeah, I think I can do this."

Stitch directed Lilo in front of the dummy. He tightened his hand on the dummy's mouth and waited for the black spot on his back to disappear. Eventually, it did and Stitch lifted the dummy.

Lilo noticed a black spot between the dummy's legs and sent a swift kick there. Stitch applaud her when the dummy bent down. He expected her to have to do it at least twice. Lilo noticed another black spot on the dummy's shin and kicked there. The dummy crumpled to the ground. She saw a blue spot on its nose and reached back her clenched fist before smashing it to the lifeless being's nose.

The dummy fell backwards and Lilo scanned for any other spots. She saw a large blue spot on his cheek and punched that side of the face. The dummy's head landed to the opposite side, facing Stitch. Lilo then saw black spots outlining his body and between his legs. Blue spots engulfed his face, stomach, chest, and arms.

"What does that mean?" Lilo asked Stitch.

"It means whatever you're next move is, it's still going to be right. You left him defenseless, so he can't do anything to you." Stitch answered. "That was pretty good Lilo."

"Pretty good? I practically killed him Stitch." She grinned.

"Eh, that's nothing compared to what you'll learn in the future. However, I have to start you off slow. We'll practice more tonight. Right now, let's go pay Angel a visit." Stitch replied.

"Sounds good to me." Lilo smiled as she locked hands with Stitch and exited the ship.

Meanwhile, Slyther was just waking up from the sunlight. He turned in his bed to grasp Angel, but then realized she was already awake. He slid out of bed and ambled down the stairs sleepily. He found Angel in the living room, her fur wet and a white towel around her frame.

The TV blared in front of her, but when she heard footsteps, she turned her head to see Slyther walking towards her. "Slyther, good morning." She replied.

"Morning Angel." He bid then kissed her on the lips. "Sleep good?"

She shrugged. "I slept fine. You?"

"Good." He responded. "What are you watching?"

"Lingo." She smiled.

He grinned back. "Mind if I watch it with you?"

"Not at all." She beamed and scooted over to let him have some room. He sat down next to her. "Interesting show isn't it?"

"Angel, I was wondering if you wanted to… um. If you really, well, maybe not really, really want to, but uh. If you would like to g-go ou-out wit- with me to-tonight." Why the blitzgorp am I stuttering for? Man I feel like a lovesick idiot. Then again, I probably am one.

She smiled and locked him in her embrace. "Yes, I will go out with you tonight Slyther."

"Good." He grinned toothily and kissed her passionately on the lips. He parted her lips with his tongue, exploring her warm mouth. Angel responded by pulling his face closer to hers and slithered her tongue in his mouth. They both fell back on the couch, kissing wildly. Before they could pull away from each other to breathe in air, the doorbell rang. Slyther departed from Angel who gasped for air. She pushed Slyther off her and went to go answer the door. Slyther remained on the couch, his heart still thumping brutishly in his ribcage.

"Lilo! Stitch! Aloha." Angel greeted from the doorway.

Oh no. I hope Master was right that he told 626 of my so called 'betrayal'. Slyther thought as he gazed at Angel welcoming Lilo and Stitch into her home.

Lilo and Angel wasted no time chatting away. Stitch closed the door then turned to see, much to his distaste and anger, a silver experiment sitting on Angel's couch. He recognized the silver fur, the hazardous green eyes, and most of all, the letters and digits on his chest. Pre 700 AKA Slyther.

Growling, Stitch lunged himself at Slyther, striking the experiment in the nose. The hit Stitch threw had vigor and that intense strength caused his nose to begin to bleed. Stitch tackled one of his rivals to the ground, holding him down by the neck. He snarled.

"Slyther! What are you doing here?" Stitch growled.

"I'm here because Angel let me stay here." Slyther responded.

"Stitch!" Angel cried in dismay. "What are you doing!"

Stitch stood and turned to look at his ex-girlfriend. "Angel! He's Slyther! Pre 700! He's one of the Pre experiments I told you about! The three experiments that want Lilo dead."

Angel gasped. "Stitch how could you! Slyther is my buchee-bu!"

Stitch's eyes widened. "Your what?"

"My buchee-bu! As in, we're lovers." Angel repeated.

Stitch ran over to the pink experiment, clutching her shoulders. "Angel, you have to listen to me. He's dangerous. What if he's doing all this to hurt you?"

"He loves me!" Angel shouted. "And I love him. Just because you're a special friend to me Stitch, doesn't mean you have to tell me who I can or can not be with. If I love him then I love him. I can't do anything about my feelings. These two weeks he's been staying with me and he has done nothing to me at all!"

"Two weeks?" Stitch asked outrageously. "He's been with you for two weeks!"

"Yes, and I would prefer it if you would stop calling him evil." Angel snapped as she walked over to Slyther's side and helped him up. "I love him Stitch."

"But Angel!"

"No, I'm sorry. I don't believe you." Angel replied then led Slyther upstairs to her room to clean him up. "You can see yourself out. Lilo, you can stay if you like, but if you want to go, that's fine too."

Stitch, scowling irritably, yanked the door open and walked out dejected. Lilo followed him in silence, thinking it would be best than to start converse non-stop with him. The blue experiment paused in his quick strides, peering over his shoulder to see Lilo following behind him at a slow pace. She noticed he stopped to give her time to catch up which she acquiesced and picked up speed to walk along beside him. Stitch slung his arm around Lilo's shoulder, kissing her on the side of her face.

They walked along together, side by side, in peace. Lilo rested her head in the crook of his neck and he brought his head down to rest on hers. They reached the front of the house, but instead of going inside, they strolled over to the hammock. Stitch let go of Lilo so she could climb inside the comfortable fabric. Stitch grasped the edge of the hammock and pulled himself up. Lilo grabbed his arm to slightly tug him in. She laid down and he did the same, except on top of her. He hoisted himself up on his elbows to avoid crushing her with his weight.

She looped her arms around his neck and with a lovely kind smile, brought his mouth onto hers. They kissed lovingly at first before Stitch titled his head. Lilo pulled him closer to her and he darted his tongue out to taste her. His tongue against her lips astounded her and she pushed him away. Stitch felt his cheeks heat up in humiliation. He knew he had never kissed her with his tongue before and with the incident that happened with Sparky, he was certain she didn't want to try it.

"Lilo, I'm sorry." Stitch apologized. "I just got into the moment and I-"

Lilo raised her index finger to his lips to hush his rambling. Stitch quieted and waited almost impatiently as she slowly leaned in closer. She cupped his face with her hands and landed her mouth on his. Her tongue slipped past her lips and onto his, taking him by surprise this time. Her tongue clashed with his and he laid her back down again, kissing her with every emotion that was coursing through his whole being such as desirable love, anger, and burning passion. He gradually removed his head from hers, breathing in her sweet scent. She beamed gleefully, revelling the safe feeling in his arms. He buried his face at the crook of her neck while having an arm thrown around her. Lilo titled her face to his forehead, breathing in his aroma. She cuddled closer to him, wanting to mix their bodies together.

Their eyes closed for a little cat-nap, bliss fluttering around in the breeze that surrounded them. Unbeknownst to the two contented lovers, a young woman watched their little scene with disgust. Her honey brown eyes narrowed into thin slits at the sight of Stitch's arm wrapped around her baby sister protectively and even possessively.

She was about to stomp over there to separate them until she heard a voice from behind her. "Nani, leave them alone. Can't you see that they are in love?"

The young woman, Nani, spun on her heels to glare at the slim bubble headed alien with only one huge eye. "Pleakley, don't you see that they are different species? They're not supposed to be together!"

"Why not?" Pleakley asked.

"Because they're different species."

"And…"

"And they're not supposed to be together."

"Why?"

"They're different species."

"So?"

"So they're not supposed to be together!"

Pleakley rolled his huge eye. "Nani, would you please elaborate why you think Lilo and Stitch shouldn't be together because of their difference in species."

"Because it's just wrong!"

"Why is it wrong?"

"Because they're different species Pleakley!"

Pleakley sighed. "You and Jumba seem to have the same petty excuse."

"What do you mean it's petty!" Exclaimed Nani angrily. "They're different species!"

"You know, I'm getting tired of you and Jumba yacking non-stop about Lilo and Stitch's relationship just because they're not the same species. Let me show you something." Pleakley grasped Nani by the arm and dragged her over to the still sleeping Lilo and Stitch. He grabbed both of Nani's wrists to keep her from interrupting their peaceful nap.

Nani scowled in distaste at the sight of their limbs entwined together. His furry blue leg slung over hers carelessly while hers were open slightly. His lower arm supported her baby sister's back and it appeared to be right above her rump. He had his head nuzzled deep inside her neck, breathing on her. Lilo's forehead touched his as she breathed on his nose. Lilo was unconsciously stroking the arm that Stitch had thrown over her to nail her to him.

She wanted nothing more than to murder Stitch slowly and painfully as she could. Her eyes were murderous as she took in the revolting sight of her little sister and her lover.

Pleakley noticed with annoyance, she was getting aggravated by the position Stitch and Lilo were in. He was looking deeper than that. He was looking past the difference between skin and fur. He was looking past the difference of the body structure of alien and human. Moreover, when he looked deeper, he saw the undeniable love they shared together. He could see it in their eyes, in their laughter, even in their movements. He could see the blazing passion they had for each other.

Knowing Nani was only paying attention to their bodies, irritated Pleakley a great deal. He didn't understand what was wrong with interspecies relationships. "Nani, stop looking at their position and look at their faces." Nani growled lowly before complying Pleakley's demand. She raised her chin to their faces. Pleakley began to talk. "What do you see on their faces?"

"Just smiles." Nani snarled out. "That aren't supposed to be there."

"Nani, look at them. Look at the bright smile on Lilo's face. Look at how content and blissful she is in his arms. Didn't you want Lilo to be happy? Didn't you want to give her a special dog to cheer her up?" Pleakley interrogated. "Didn't you want her to get an angel?"

"Yes, I did." Nani replied.

Pleakley pointed at Stitch. "There he is. There is Lilo's angel. From the moment he stepped off that spaceship, he belonged with Lilo. No one else."

"What about Lilo? I don't see how he could love her." Nani questioned.

"Oh he has more than a hundred reasons to love her." Pleakley gushed out, going into his dramatic romantic mood. "He was a monster, hated by everyone in this world. He lived in darkness, in fear of himself, away from the light. Then he met her." He paused for a tense effect. "She was his light, his world, his savior. She had unknowingly found a key to open his cold heart and gave him the impossible for such a cruel, deceitful, selfish monster as him, love. Love for the world, love for the tender word family, and most of all, love for her."

"Pleakley, if you're trying to be a romantic story teller, you need more practice." Nani pointed out.

"Hey! I thought that was good! Anyway, look at his huge smile. I'm sure he never smiled that big in his whole life. He loves Lilo Nani, she's his rock, his strength, his guardian angel, his light, his world, his-"

"Alright, enough already. Just, go on." Nani intervened.

"Fine. In short, she's his everything and without her, what kind of man is he? A broken soul. That's the same with Lilo. Look at them Nani. They're happy, isn't that good enough for you? Go ahead and do the foolish, separate them, but you'll regret it when you hear Lilo cry in her sleep or when she gathers the courage to either run away with him or slit her own throat." Pleakley said and hurried back to the house.

Nani sighed as her gaze adverted from the house and back to Lilo and Stitch sleeping happily in each other's embrace. She thought back to the times when she had often heard Lilo weeping in her sleep and how depressed and lonely the girl was after her parent's deaths. She then remembered how gleeful Lilo was when Stitch came into her life. Of course, he had made terrible mistakes such as not always being there for Lilo when she needed him. Moreover, neglecting her for Angel really did a number on her 'Reasons Why Stitch Is A Royal Pain' list. Nevertheless, most of the time, he had been there for Lilo cheering her up, making her laugh, making her smile, make her the happiest kid on the island, which is very impossible considering her status as an orphan.

She does love him and I suppose he does love her. Pleakley's right, they're happy with each other. I must learn to respect that. But if he hurts her in anyway, I'll kill him in the worst way possible. She grimaced when she remembered Stitch was phenomenally stronger than she'll ever be. That is if I'll be able to.
