A/N ALOHA! I'm here with my Playing With Matches demo CD (that's the band
my brother's in, and dey is cool! One of my fave bands)! Anyways, there's a
reference to a deleted scene in this chapter and I'll explain it more in my
endnote! But whether or not it will be on the special edition DVD I don't
know!
"What's eatin' you, kid?" 625 asked through a full mouth. Lilo was staring at him distantly, as if wandering through dreams long forgotten.
"Is that a peanut butter sandwich?" 625 examined his sticky claws. He hadn't paid much attention to what he had put on the bread, it was too early.
"My, you're observant this morning."
"Pudge really liked peanut butter sandwiches."
"Who?"
"Pudge the pufferfish. He used to control the weather patterns and every Thursday I'd take him a peanut butter sandwich. Once I took Stitch to meet him when he was still bad."
"Oh, I see." 625 laid the sandwich down out of sight. "Sorry, Lilo."

"Ugh, Lilo was supposed to do this.I hate it when she forgets." Nani groaned as she wriggled around under Lilo's bed. It was the one place that neither Stitch nor Lilo would go near.
"Nani, look." Peka squeezed out into the open air, clutching a small slip of paper. She quietly attempted to get the dust off of her ears as Nani read.
I was alone
With my sister that night
Ignoring my feelings that
Something's not right.
It wasn't that night
But the very next day
When I found out the rain
Took mom and dad away.
We were left on our own
Without mom or dad
All Nani would say is
"It won't be all bad".
But she was wrong
My friends didn't like me
They thought I was different
And wouldn't play with me
So I made a wish
A wish to come true
On a falling star-
An Angel like you.
When I look at you
There's a lot that I see
And in your eyes there
What I see is me.
You came in the night
To stay by my side
Forever my Angel
Not just inside.
Nani leaned against the bed, staring at the poem.
"Did Lilo write that? Who's it about?" Peka asked curiously.
"She wrote it.for Stitch." They fell into silence, but neither heard the faint sniffle and rustling of bushes leaving the window.

"Has anyone seen Stitch?" Peka burst into the kitchen. Lilo was coloring at the kitchen table, 625 was dividing his attention between coloring with Lilo and a pepper-jack cheese sandwich (the peanut butter one thoroughly forgotten).
"He went outside a little while ago." Lilo informed her somewhat distractedly.
"Well, help me find him!" Peka rolled her eyes as she ushered the two outside. "Owen-"
"Don't call me that!"
"Go that way." Peka ordered, ignoring 625's protests to his name.
"I'll check the town." Lilo offered, wondering why on Earth they were looking for Stitch. They split their separate ways, 625 still grumbling.

625 stood at the gate, looking at the smooth stones scattered about in the grass. 'I wonder what this place is? No one's ever told me about it before.' he passed into the small field, seeming to be almost the only living thing in sight. He felt like he liked the place, very peaceful. He bent to study one of the stones, just noticing the letters engraved in the front.
"Hello." 625 nearly shrieked. Looking behind him and finding no one there, he peeked around the stone. He nearly fell over at what he saw.
It was Stitch. He was standing awkwardly before two newer-looking stones; a small wooden marker was placed in the ground next to them. 625 considered saying something, but decided against it as Stitch began talking again.
"I'm sorry to bother you here.especially you, Pudge." 625's eyes followed his glance to the small wooden marker. "Far as I can tell, you don't know me that well. Unless, of course you've been watching us." He briefly fell silent, unsure of what to say to his unseen listeners. "Lilo wrote a poem about an angel. Me. She wished for one. I was wondering, you don't have to answer.did you cause me to crash on Kauai? I could have easily missed the islands and landed in the water. I think you knew what she wished for ahead of time. And one more thing, please. Don't take this the wrong way, but.is Peka my angel? Did you know about h-how I felt about being the only, well, me?" he waited, just in case they decided to answer. They didn't. Stitch laid three dead dandelions at the foot of the graves. "Thanks."
***
625 decided that it was time to intervene. Grabbing the only thing to lay with Stitch's offering (a few of those grass-seed-thingies) he stepped into view.
"What are you doing here?" Stitch gasped.
"Looking for you.are these Lilo's parents?"
"Yeah."
"Oh." He was going to tell Stitch that Peka was looking for him, but instead they stood there together, thinking of those that had brought them together.
A/N agggh!!!1 I couldn't think of a better way to end it! About the poem: I wrote it! (smiles *twinkle twinkle*). I got the idea from someone on yahoo (can't think of who) that said they thought that in a way Lilo had created her own Angel. I agree whole-heartedly. And the scene:
When Stitch was still bad, Lilo took him to meet Pudge. Pudge swam up to the boat to get his sandwich, but Stitch snatched him out of the water and killed him. Lilo took Pudge away (how on Turo, I don't know) and they went to the cemetery. Lilo made Stitch watch her bury Pudge next to her parents. Stitch then realized that he had caused her pain and his actions had consequences. This then cut to the scene where Stitch looked at Lilo's picture under her pillow the second time, and then he leaves as Lilo says, "I remember everyone who leaves." I think she was referring to both her parents and Pudge. Well, that's it for now, I guess.till this weekend!
