Hello, loyal readers…I love you all.
VOID99- Your stories are out of this world. Dude, you're awesome and that's all I have to say about that.
MalletWielderofDoom- You are soo on the money. Jealousy doesn't look good on him.
RobzGurrl- That's for the review I'll try to work on some stuff.
Faith- I love your stories. Thanks for the review.
This is a spin-off of "Experiment 627!" You should read it before this one. You might understand my story a little better. You'll find out where 627 comes from.
This story contains experiment 627, also known as Sakura. She belongs to the author of Experiment 627. She was nice enough to let me borrow her.
This story also contains experiment 630. She belongs to me. So do 631 and 632. I own them, too.
Oh, one more note, for those of you who have read Experiment 627!, this story takes place from right before Stitch runs away. As if no one ran away.
BTW *blah,blah* means thinking… "blah,blah" means speaking.
So, sit back, relax, read, review, and enjoy the fourth chapter of ………………….
Stitch, Sakura, and Baila
630 sat at the table and joined everyone for dinner. Lilo looked at the new experiment and tried to think of a name. She turned to Nani.
"Nani, what should we name 630?"
Nani looked at 630. "I'm not sure. Maybe she would like to pick her own name, like Sakura did."
"Who's Sakura?" 630 asked.
"That's me." The pink, girly version of the mound of rudeness that left the room not too long ago said. Her voice was very inviting and beautiful. She seemed a lot nicer than the blue guy from earlier.
"So, how about it? Would you like to pick your own name?" Nani asked.
"Sure, I would be delighted to…Miss…uh… I'm sorry I don't believe I caught your name."
"630, allow me to introduce you to your new family. The little girl is Lilo. The larger girl is Nani. The one-eyed one is Pleakley." He bent close to 630 and whispered. "He is thinking he is Earth expert, but he knows nothing or very little of earthlings."
"I heard that." Pleakley said, angrily.
Jumba chuckled and said he was kidding. He continued the introductions. "The little one to your right is experiment 627, she has chosen the name Sakura."
"Ah, the Japanese word for cherry blossom, an interesting choice for a name, Miss Sakura." 630 said, grinning at her. Sakura looked back at her with widened eyes.
*Wow, she called me "Miss Sakura". No one's ever done that before. She must be programmed to be really polite.* She thought.
"The creature that came and left the room is experiment 626."
"I named him Stitch." Lilo mentioned. "Please don't mind him. He's just a little cranky from being grounded."
"Well, that explains the hostility." 630 noted.
"Well, he's not really hostile because of that. He was always hostile." Nani explained.
"Always?" 630 asked, not really believing that someone could be hostile for no reason.
Pleakley looked up from his dinner and turned to Nani. "Well, Nani, the little monster wasn't always hostile, destructive, yes, but not hostile. Come to think of it, the hostility began ever since…" Pleakley trailed off. He looked at Sakura with a sad eye. Sakura finished for him.
"…Ever since I was created. He always seemed to have a problem with me and I didn't do anything to him." Sakura said, with a tinge of anger and sadness in her voice.
*You must have done something even if you didn't mean to. Maybe you didn't do anything to deserve the way he treats you, but there is a reason. I guess it's up to me to figure that out, since no one else has. I should go talk to him.* 630 thought. She looked to Nani. "Miss Nani, may I be excused. I don't feel much like eating. Uh, where is your bathroom?" 630 asked with a smile.
"I'll take you." Lilo offered, cheerfully. She hopped out of her seat.
"No thank you, Miss Lilo. I that last thing I want to do is disturb your dinner." 630 said in a serious tone, looking toward the hallway. Lilo had a surprised look on her face from 630's sudden change in tone. She slowly sat back in her seat. Jumba also noted it too and he was proud.
"Oh, okay." Lilo said in a low voice
*Now, she's taking problem seriously.* Jumba thought.
"The bathroom is down the hall, there. You can't miss it." Nani said, also noticing the change.
630 bowed her head to all of them and headed toward the bathroom. 630 stood by the door and thought about what she was going to say. At that moment, the toilet flushed, and the faucet was turned on, then off.
*Time to work.* She thought, grinning. The door opened. Stitch stepped out and headed toward his room. He didn't seem to notice her. She had to fix that.
"You know, you are very rude." She said matter-of-factly. Stitch turned around with flames in his eyes.
"I thought I made it clear to you not to bother me."
"Did you?" She said indifferently. "I don't remember you speaking to me. I seem to remember you speaking to Jumba, not me though. You must be imagining things, Mister Stitch." She looked at him only after she was done speaking. She grinned at the anger in his eyes. Her plan was working.
"Well, then, let me explain it to you…plain and simple." He approached her aggressively, trying to intimidate her. She wasn't intimidated in the least. She kept grinning at him.
"Keep it simple." She said, playing along. 630's grinning and calmness toward Stitch began to irritate him.
"Stay away from me. Stay away to the point where I don't know you exist. You know what? If you want, you can pretend I don't exist, either." He turned and began walking to his room. 630 wasn't done with him. She was just getting started.
"I guess you get that a lot, don't you? People pretending you don't exist." She said. Stitch stopped in his tracks and turned toward her again. This time his fists were clenched and he was grinding his teeth. A low growl could be heard coming from him. 630's grinned slyly. "Did I strike a nerve, Mister Stitch?"
He walked back up to her, looking like he was ready to pound her into the floor. She remained calm. He spoke to her in a harsh voice. "You don't get it, do you? Do you know who I am?"
630 looked at her nails and blew on them. "Nope, should I know, Mister Stitch?"
Stitch looked at her with surprise, but the surprise was quickly replaced by rage. 630 made a mental note of that.
"I'm experiment 626. I am the most powerful and destructive experiment Jumba's ever created."
"Well, I don't know about that. Jumba programmed some information about you into me and I'm sure you know that Miss Sakura is a bit more powerful than you are, Mister Stitch."
She really irked Stitch with that one. He even winced at the sound of Sakura's name. Stitch was so mad, he could barely speak. 630 continued.
"Although, Mister Stitch, from what I heard, you arethe most destructive, hands down."
At that point, Stitch was so infuriated, that the only thought that ran through his head, besides wanting to kill the experiment in front of him, was her aggravating habit of calling him "Mister Stitch".
"Stop calling me that!" He commanded. It seemed like he was using all his strength not to beat 630 black and blue. 630 had to be careful now. He might actually do it.
"Hmm, you want me to stopcalling you that? Wow, you don't get much respect, do you?..." She paused after that to see his reaction.
Stitch stood there, staring at her in shock.
*What is wrong with her? Does she have a death wish? Why is she doing this to me? Why is she saying these things? I'd better go, before I lose it.* Stitch thought. 630 continued.
"…because apparently you don't know respect even if it's staring you in the face."
Stitch didn't respond to that one. He simply turned around and headed back to his room. 630 grinned at Stitch as he walked away. She wasn't happy or anything. She was just doing that in case he decided to look back at her. 630 need to establish that she wasn't scared of him or afraid to strike back if he did try anything. When he was in his room, 630 sighed and returned to the kitchen.
Stitch went into his room. He roared into his pillow in frustration and anger. He began punching it. When he was finished, a tear rolled down his fur. As he thought about what 630 said, he realized that some of it was true.
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, Pleakley was doing the dishes and Sakura was helping him. 630 offered to help, but Pleakley said that they were almost done already. So, 630 decided to look around the house. Everyone was busy doing something. Lilo and Nani were in the bathroom, brushing their teeth. 630 thought for a minute and quickly devised a plan for getting information out of Sakura. This one she would start tomorrow, though. She looked around for Sakura. She ended up being in a room with three beds in it. There was a large bed, a medium bed, and a small bed. It seemed like something out of a bedtime story. 630 walked in.
"Hello, Miss Sakura." She said. Sakura turned to her.
"You know, you don't have to call me that."
"What? You don't want to be called "Miss Sakura"?" 630 said, jokingly acting insulted. Sakura took her seriously.
"Oh no, I don't mean to offend, but I'd prefer to be called "Sakura", if you don't mind."
630 looked at Sakura with disbelief that she didn't get the joke.
"Uh, okay then…Sakura." 630 walked around the room and sat on the largest bed. "So, who does this room belong to, the three bears?" 630 chuckled. The comment went over Sakura's head.
"It belongs to Lilo, Nani, and me."
Something didn't seem right with that answer.
*Three people in one room? That means Stitch has his own room.* 630 thought.
"Why does Stitch have his own room?" She asked.
"Well, it's a long story, but to make it short, there was a time when Stitch and Lilo shared the room. When he was becoming a bit too hostile, Nani was scared Stitch might accidentally hurt Lilo. So, she was moved into here with us."
"I see." 630 began thinking about all the things she was learning today. Nani and Lilo came into the room.
"Hi, 630." Lilo said, yawning.
"Looks like someone's ready for bed." Nani said. "Oh, speaking of sleeping, where are you going to sleep?" She asked 630.
"Oh, don't worry about me, Miss Nani. I'm going to sleep under the stars." She said dramatically. "On the roof." She added quickly, pointing upwards. "Good night all" She said to everyone, making her way toward the door. She bowed her head right before she left. Nani had a curious look on her face.
*Why would anyone wantto sleep on the roof?*
She went to the dog door and left the house. It wasn't long till she was on the roof. She looked to the sky as she thought about how the first day of her creation went.
*If Jumba knew how much I learned, he'd be very proud* She thought, smiling. She closed her eyes and began to fall asleep.
630 was awakened a while later by floor boards in the house creaking.
*If everyone's sleeping, why is the floor making noise? Who's up? It must be like one in the morning.* She thought. She climbed back into the house and saw Nani staring out the window. 630 spoke softly.
"Miss Nani, what are you doing?"
"Oh, 630, did I wake you?"
"Yes, but it's okay. What are you doing up? Don't you have work tomorrow? You need your rest."
"Yeah, I do, but I can't sleep. I'm worried."
"Worried about what, Miss Nani?"
"A bunch of stuff, mostly about the family."
*Oh no, the problem is affecting her too. That's not good...* 630 thought. "I think I can help you, if you'll let me." She offered.
"What can you do?"
"Well, I was equipped with a sleep dance. It's supposed to lull you into a deep satisfying sleep. Would you like to try it?"
"That won't make my worries go away, 630."
"But it'll help until they do." 630 paused and waited for Nani's comment.
Nani walked over to the couch and laid on it. "Okay, 630, do your stuff."
A wide smile appeared on 630's face. She began powering up.
"How long do you want to sleep for?" She asked. Nani looked at the time.
"Seven hours."
"Okay." When she finished powering up, she passed her baton across her body. The ring disappeared from around her ankles appeared around Nani's head, like a halo. The only steps in this dance were a grapevine to the left and a grapevine to the right. (A/N- For those of you who don't know what a grapevine is, look down below.) 630 did this at a slow speed. After a while she noticed Nani's eyes slowly closing. So, she began to lower her speed. She danced slower and slower until she stopped moving. That's when Nani finally fell asleep.
Feeling a little tired herself, 630 returned to the roof and went back to sleeping, feeling proud of herself for solving Nani's insomnia for the night. She solved her first problem tonight.
Hey folks, a grapevine is a step that is frequently uses in square and line dances. You take you right foot and step to the right. You then take your left foot and bring it next to the right. Then do it again. After that step, to the left and bring you right foot next to your left and do that again. That is the simplest explanation of a grapevine I could give.
Well, look at that, the end of the chapter. Stay tuned for another one.
Thank you, very much Devenus. You're the best…I couldn't do this without you. Have fun on your vacation. I miss you, already.
SYL, love you all!!!!!
