Kolie gazed in awe at the vast, seemingly endless sea-scape. The cool Pacific breeze swept tufts of fur in her eyes. She brushed the fur away and continued to stare in wonder.
"I think she likes it," whispered Lilo to Stitch and Angel.
Stitch and Angel nodded and said in unison, "Ih." ("Yep.")
Kolie beamed and glanced over at Lilo and her parents.
"This makes me feel like I need to...um...what's the word...with the pencil, er, thing..." Kolie tried to find the right word.
"Write?" Lilo suggested.
"Yeah! That's it. Write! I've been practicing before I go to bed. I saw Nani doing it, so I found some paper and pencils and tried it. I also read in a book that writing is 'expressing the soul.' It does kind of make me feel better if I think about it."
"Wow, you're pretty smart only to be a couple of days old," Lilo stated honestly. "I don't have any paper or pencils with me, so lets go home and you can write about your first ocean experience there."
Kolie agreed and they all left the beach and headed home.

A few months later, Kolie knew just as much as her parents. She had all the powers of her parents, and more. She could lift up to 5,000 times her weight, she was smarter and could think faster than a supercomputer, she was an exceptionally fast runner, she had the power to turn things from good to evil and from evil to good, and she could also swim. She was also remarkably beautiful; she was the ideal experiment. This, by all means, caught the eye of a few other experiments.
Few things were now new to her, except for the concept of love. She knew what it was like to love and to be loved, but not outside of family; she wanted to know how it felt. She knew other experiments that liked her, but she didn't necessarily like them back; she only liked them as friends. Perhaps, though, one day, she would find that someone whom she would love more than a friend.
