Happiness in Hawaii
Charlie awoke early in the morning. He sighed, all week he's been sleeping less and less. The bed was uncomfortable and the food sucked. Nevertheless he went to the corner of the room and picked up a packet of food. He ripped it open with his mouth and poured the dust-like substance onto a plate and then held it over the sink, letting water run over it. In a matter of seconds he had a scary looking plate of food. He had kept the suit on, the black and red one. It looked just like Stitch's suit, the one he had when he was first made, but instead of red and yellow it was black and red.
When he was finished eating he went to the airlock, walking in and letting it cycle the water in. He then swam to the surface and the small three foot gap between the ship and the Hawaiian shore. Only the cockpit stuck out of the water, and that was just a few inches. The rest was buried in the sand and water.
He wondered what he was even doing outside the ship. He hadn't left the whole week since the 'incident' and he didn't plan on leaving. But of course, things didn't go as he had planned. He walked through the woods and came out at the park. He saw Lilo and Stitch, walking along the park, and kept going.
Lilo looked up from Stitch when she finished talking and saw Charlie walking towards them in a strange suit. Stitch growled a little, but Charlie didn't acknowledge it. He walked right by them like they weren't there.
Lilo sighed, "See what you've done?" She asked.
"I don't care about him! I could kill him right now!" Stitch said."Stitch..." Lilo tried to talk some sense into him.
"This is what I get for bringing an experiment home! Both him and Angel!" Stitch yelled, and kept walking. Lilo stood there, looking between Charlie and Stitch.
"Charlie, wait!" She called and started to run after him. She knew he heard her, what with his super hearing, but he kept walking. She ran in front of him and stood in his way.
"What do you want?" He asked."Charlie, tell me what happened." She said.
"Oh, now you want to know! Now, after a broken brone?! Now, after you kicked me out?! Now you want to know what really happened?!" He yelled.
"Are you going to tell me?" She asked.
"What does it matter? I'm still not wanted in the house!" He said, then pushed by her. He only got a few steps before pain shot through his chest, from the broken and unhealed bone, he staggered a few steps, then passed out."Charlie!" Lilo yelled, picking him up. She knew Stitch would kill her, but she didn't care. In a few minutes she had him home on the couch, the spacesuit off.
"Lilo, why is he here?" Angel asked."He's hurt." Lilo told her.
"You mean you care about me and him?" Angel faked shock."Do you want to tell me what happened that night?" Lilo asked, changing the subject.
"Don't Angel, it doesn't matter. What I saw tells it all." Stitch said as he walked in, "And since I told him to never come back..."
"Leave him alone, Stitch." Lilo warned.
"Get out of my way, Lilo!" Stitch yelled. That woke Charlie up, and he got to his feet slowly."Oh shut up, Stitch..." He said. The pain was still shooting through his chest, but he didn't show it, "I didn't want to come here."
"But you're still here!" Stitch yelled.
"Not for long." Charlie said, walking by Stitch and opening the door. Then he stopped and looked back, "And since you want to know so bad, Lilo, I was feeling homesick and Angel was comforting me. That's all. Nothing happened."
"What was that?" Stitch asked, but Charlie was already gone.
"Now you know. Don't you feel stupid?" Angel asked sarcastically and walked into her room.
"So lets see... you beat him, kicked him out and broke up with Angel all because he felt homesick?" Lilo said.
"Well how was I supposed to know?!" Stitch yelled.
"You could've let them explain!" Lilo told him, "And now you owe them both a huge apology."
"I know..." He said, leaving the house. He had to catch Charlie before he disappeared again.
Charlie walked through the park, heading home. His home, not the old one. The place that held painful memories and countless files of his world, that was his home. He slipped through the woods and came out at the beach, entering the ship. The computers on the pilot's display lit up as he sat down in the pilot's chair, but he ignored them and tried to fall asleep. 'Man, this is more comfortable than the captain's bed!' he thought.
"What's that?" He asked aloud, sitting up. The airlock had just been opened! He went for his quad blasters... which were in his suit... in Lilo's house!
"Charlie? What is this place?" Stitch asked, soaking wet. One thing about the airlock, while it cycles out stuff like water and null space and replaces it with air before letting you in, but doesn't dry you off.
Charlie felt his blood boil. Stitch was in his one place to be alone! He growled a little, inching toward the far wall, "Get out." He said in a low tone.
"Charlie, I..."
"Get out!" Charlie said again, louder.
"Charlie, please, let me talk..." Stitch said.
"Like you did for me?" Charlie asked.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong..." Stitch said.
"What?" Charlie asked, taken aback. Stitch never apologized for anything he did!
"I said I'm sorry... I was wrong." Stitch repeated, "It was stupid of me to think that you and her would do that..."
"Yes it was, Stitch. Very stupid." Charlie said.
"Will you just come home?" Stitch asked.
"I don't know..." Charlie said, pretending to think about it.
"Charlie..." Stitch practically begged.
Charlie looked at him and smiled, "Okay."
Later that night everything was back to normal. Angel and Stitch were back in the same room, and were a happy couple again, and Charlie was back in the room with Lilo. Stitch explained what really happened to Caitlin, and she forgave Charlie. They even had another date tomorrow, and Charlie was hiding how happy he was about that. Stitch laid in the bed next to Angel and pulled himself closer to her.
"Don't even think about kissing me tonight, Stitch. You put me through a lot the past week." Angel warned. Stitch ignored her and kissed her, "I said don't..."
"I know." He replied, then kissed her again. She held him closer and kissed him as well, then rolled so she was on top of him...
