Chapter 1: Lost and Found
Angel's view

"Angel!" That was the last I had heard from Stitch, my boojibu. I tried to yell back, but I'm not sure that he heard me. I was being taken away by that big fish headed brute and his brownish-yellow lackey. The thing was running behind me, and he winked. I cursed at him, although he didn't hear it.

We must have gone at least a half a mile from the mountain, when the thing started panting. I could hear what he was saying. "Hey pant fish head, you pant think we pant could rest for a while? I'm pant beat..." he said.

"But 6-2-5," The big guy replied, "We're almost halfway there! Then I can give the little trog to Hamsterviel, and my job is saved!"

"Easy for you, you're 200 times my size! Let's rest for a bit, restore our energy, and keep going, ok?"

"Ok, fine. I need some stretching, anyways."

"Oh, but you think you could head over to the ship and get me two sandwiches? I ate mine on the ship."

"Fine, but I'm taking this little trog with me"

"Oh no, you aren't!"

"What- did you just talk back to me?"

"I mean, maybe I should talk to her about stuff, before she, uh, goes to Hamsterwheel." He didn't want to talk, he just wanted to be alone with me, I could tell.

"Ok, but you have to take close care of her. I don't want her to escape."

"Yea, sure, why not? She shouldn't be much of a problem, after all, what can she do? She won't escape, unless I open it." That gave me an idea. After the big guy was gone, and it was just me and the 6-2-5 thing, I put my plan into action. I tapped on the glass of the capsule to try and get the thing's attention. He noticed after a bit, and when he looked my way, I smirked. I gave a "Come over here" finger motion seductively. He took what it meant and came my way. He opened the top, that little idiot, and asked, "Want anything, Angelcakes?" At that, I punched him square in the nose. He flew back about 5 to 7 feet. I immediately rushed out of the capsule, and headed straight for the mountain where I last saw my boojibu, hoping he'd still be there.

He wasn't there. Nobody was. No signs or anything. I just stared, my eyes watering with tears. My boojibu was gone forever. I sat on top of the ship, which was still crash landed, starting at the stars. A frog had joined my company, but I didn't mind. My head was buried in my knees, crying like bullets going from a machine gun on rapid, rapid fire. I lifted my head to wipe off some of the tears. I made up some of the stars to look like Stitch, but that only made me cry some more. I pet the frog, and when I lifted my hand, he hopped away. I followed it, because I didn't want to be alone. Suddenly, I had seen something I hadn't seen before: tire tracks. I remember seeing a red buggy before I was captured. These tracks had to have come from it! I picked up the frog, gave it a quick hug, and ran off, following the tracks.

The track had ended on a dirt road, leading off to the street. I thought that was the end, until I saw the tracks continued on a dirt road on the other side. I immediately followed those tracks, and I came upon a strange house. I thought to myself, this can't be it, until I saw a figure sticking out from a round room at the top of the house. I was guessing that was him! I rushed over to the other side of the house, and called out, "Boojibu!" I don't think he heard me, so I called again. Once again, I called out. He still didn't hear me. I got aggravated, so I picked up a rock, threw it up at him, and hit him square in the nose. He noticed this, and looked down. I don't think he saw me, because he looked back into the sky. After that, I got angry. I climbed up the side of the house, unnoticed, and climbed up next to him. I waved my hand in front of him, to try and get his notice, and then I slapped him, to makes sure he was awake. He fell back with a loud thud, and snapped out of whatever trance he was in. "Huh?" he said, as though he had just woken up.

"Boojibu?" I asked.

"Angel?" he replied.

"Stitchy!" I hugged him tightly.

"Boojibu!" He hugged me back, just as tightly. We were locked in a hug for a while, then we let go after our arms felt numb. I had tears of joy in my eyes, and so did Stitch. I could tell because of streaks down his eyes that were darker than usual. I stared deeply into his eyes, sparkling from the moonlight. I leaned in closer towards him; he was leaning too, when we suddenly heard a sound next to us. It was a door-thing, and out popped that Lilo girl from before.

"Stitch? Angel?!" Lilo had said. "Why are you here?" I could sense she had jealousy, as when I first met both her and Stitchy. The girl frowned. "Sorry if I, err, interrupted anything you were doing, I'm going back to sleep." Stitchy and I nodded. Almost immediately after it closed, the door- thing opened up again, and out popped the girl again. I was about to tell her off when she said, "Try to keep it quiet, please? Pleakley got a new video camera, and is hoping for some footage-"

"Oh, Lilo," a high-pitched voice said from below. We heard a whooshing sound. "Were you doing any late-night talking with your secret love?" I chuckled a little at that comment.

"No, now get out of here; I was just talking to Stitch."

"Well, I better test out this camera, so let me up there!" Oh joy. I tried to hide, but it was too late when the little one-eyed freak came up.

"What do you know, perfect timing! Now, just do what you do, don't mind the camera, just be romantic! I hope this gets into America's Gushiest Home Love Movies!" Stitch whispered in my ear, "Hold on, I have to do something..." He cracked one of his knuckles, and went downstairs, pulling down the one-eyed thing. I could tell they were in a fight, because I could hear some screams down there. I decided to surprise him by hiding from sight. When he came back up, I immediately tackled him onto the door to inside. I was just about to kiss him when the door opened up again! We both fell in. I fell on top of Stitchy.

"I just wanted to tell you, Angel," Lilo said, "you better not let Nani see you, or else she'll blow a circuit."
