"Reach for Heaven"

Chapter 1: Lost and Found
Stitch's view

"It's like you said, you got to believe in love!" That's the last thing Lilo had said to me that fateful night. My boojibu, my Angel was gone. I felt like crying, but I resisted.

When we got home, I immediately went to the bathroom, and I cried like there was no tomorrow. When I finally finished crying like a madman, I got out of the bathroom and went upstairs. I still had tears in my eyes.

When I got to my room, I saw that Lilo was already asleep. I quietly went through the sky light door and went out to look out at the stars. Every time I took a look, I made pictures of Angel and me together with the stars, and that made me cry some more. It was nearly midnight when I thought I could hear Angel say, "Boojibu!" I just kept staring out. I heard the voice two more times, but I didn't respond. Then for some reason, I got hit square in the nose with a rock! I took a look down, to see who threw it, but my eyes were too watery to see anything, so I stared back at the sky. A few seconds later, I thought I saw something trying to see if I was alive, because it was waving its arm in front of me. Then it hit me. No, seriously, it slapped me in the face! "Huh?"

"Boojibu?" The voice sounded like...

"Angel?" I replied.

"Stitchy!" It was Angel! I felt like I was in heaven. She hugged me tightly.

"Boojibu!" I returned the hug, just as tightly. We were both locked in a hug, so happy to see each other, we only let go of each other because our arms were getting numb. I had tears of joy in my eyes, and so did Angel. I could tell because of a dark-pink streak coming down from her eyes, running onto her cheeks. I stared deeply into her eyes, sparkling from her tears and the starlight. Angel had leaned in a little, towards me. I leaned forward too, when all of a sudden, the skylight door opened, and out popped Lilo! I was just as shocked as she was when she saw Angel was with me!

"Stitch? Angel?! What's she doing here?" I could detect some jealousy when she said that. "Sorry if I, err, interrupted anything you were doing, I'm going back to sleep." Me and Angel both nodded as she left, and the door closed. But almost immediately after it closed, it reopened, and out popped Lilo.

"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 door open. "Were you doing any late-night talking with your secret love?" Angel chuckled a little.

"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 blitznak. Angel tried to hide, but it was too late because guess who came up but none other than Pleakley. "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 Stories!" I whispered into Angel's ear, "Hold on, I have to do something..." I got up and went into the door, dragging down Pleakley. I gave him the mashing of his life, tied him up, and stuffed him under the bed. I then gave his camera to Lilo. I climbed back up through the sky light door, and once the door closed, Angel immediately tackled me. We landed on the door again, and when we were just about to kiss each other, the door opened under me! We fell in, and landed uncomfortably on the floor, Angel nearly crushing me.

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