10/25/21: I kinda fell of the internet for a while, and was doing a ton of writing in notebooks. This was one of the stories I completed. I love Lilo and Stitch, so it was a joy to write this. Except I kept writing/typing 'Nami' instead of 'Nani'. I think I got all the mistake, though.
Please enjoy reading!

Sabo raised an eyebrow at the little girl and the blue creature in front of him. They'd walked out of the forest and were passing in front of him, seemly unaware of his presence. They were almost past him when girl paused and looked right at him and frowned. Several moments of silence stretched while they watched each other.
The girl looked him up and down before nodding decisively. "You need cranial recalibration."
Before Sabo could say anything, the blue creature picked him up and chucked him headfirst into a tree.
"What the-" It took willpower for Sabo not to swear in front of the little girl. The impact with the tree was a factor for him not finishing his sentence. A face full of tree was not conducive to speaking. He sat up and cradled his head in his hands. "Ow."
The little girl came up to him and poked him in the head. Sabo went cross eyed.
"It didn't work, Stitch. Again!"
Sabo tried to scramble out of the way. "Wait!"
The creature, Stitch apparently, grabbed Sabo's leg and started to beat him against the ground, trees, and boulders.
"You stupid thing, let me go!" Sabo kicked the creature in the head with a haki coated boot. Dazed, it let him go.
It shook its head then looked at Sabo indigently. "Not stupid! Cute and fluffy!"
Then it laughed. Sabo really couldn't argue the cute and fluffy part. But he really didn't want to get thrown around either.
"Hey! Stitch is not stupid!"
Sabo turned to look at the little girl. The last thing he remembered was a rock flying at his face.
. . .
Sabo woke up.
He was laying on a soft bed, covers tucked in around him. For several horrible heartbeats Sabo had no idea what was happening, who he was, where he was. Nothing. Then all his memories came flooding back.
Along with a massive headache.
Sabo dug his palms into his eyes and swore under his breath. The yelling from elsewhere in the house was not helping.
"Lilo! You have got to stop doing this!" He did not recognize the woman's voice, though he did recognize the annoyed tone of an older sibling.
"He needed help!" That was the little girl from before. Lilo, apparently. She sounded highly offended.
"Help!" That was the blue creature. Stitch.
"You said we should help people in need!"
"Giving people concussions is not helping!"
They started to bicker, and Sabo tuned them out. He'd had long practice with Ace and Luffy's bickering. Speaking of his brothers, he needed to find them. They had a decade worth of catching up to do.
He looked around the room, trying to figure out where he was. His hat was on the table next to him, his jacket folded on a chair, and his pipe against the wall. He most likely wasn't a captive if his things were still here. Nor was he tied up.
"Oh, you're awake."
Sabo's head whipped around. There was a man with fancy hair about his age in the doorway. How had Sabo missed him?
"I'll go tell Nani."
Sabo wondered if he was still missing memoires. He did not recognize the man or know a Nani. Then he felt a bolt of panic, wondering if his haki was gone. He tested them both. Nope, he still had them.
Never one to be passive Sabo hauled himself out of the bed. He was a little unsteady but grabbed his belongings. He wandered out of the room and walked down a hallway and came to the top of the stairs. At the bottom was Lilo, Stitch, Fancy Hair Guy and a woman about his age. That was probably Nani.
Lilo noticed him first. "See! He's fine!" She pointed at him.
"Fine!" Stitch echoed, looking pleased with himself.
Nani rolled her eyes at her sister, and then turned her attention to Sabo. "I am so sorry about my sister. Are you okay?"
"Um, yes. I, uh, I need to go though. I have to find my brothers."
Lilo perked up at this. "Ohana!"
Sabo blinked at her.
"Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind" she narrowed her eyes at him "or forgotten."
"Ohana!" Stitch looked delighted.
Nani rolled her eyes again. "David, can you go get some food?"
Fancy Hair Guy- David- perked up. "I'll make milkshakes!"
"I'll supervise!" Lilo declared. She and Stitch followed David into the kitchen.
Nani gave Sabo an assessing look. "Are you really okay?"
"Yeah, I really am." Sabo smiled at her. "Your sister let me remember my brothers. She gave me my world back."
"Yeah, she can be special like that." Nani smiled at him. "If you don't want to be stuck here for the next few hours you should probably leave quickly and quietly."
Sabo smiled. "Thank you."
"Follow me." She led him to the door and gave him directions back to the beach. "Come back and visit when you can."
Sabo tipped his hat. "I will." He grinned. "I might even bring my brothers. My little brother is crazy, he'd probably get along great with Lilo."
Nani laughed quietly and waved goodbye. "Later!"
Sabo waved and headed to the beach. He had some brothers to find!
