I sighed heavily,as I made my way to the side of the planet.I had been searching hours on end,with no such luck.I was about to head by to my ship,when I heard someone talking about something that sounded very familiar.
"That little blue ailien somewhere out in the distant galaxy on that planet made entirely of water did it again!"Someone was talking enthusastically to his half-listening custmor at a nearby produce stand of some kind,waving his arms around wildly for emphasis as he spook of the little blue ailien.
"Fasincating,"The custmor told him vaguely,starting to heave a bag of some type of gigantic-looking oranges onto his bag,"But,Jov,I really gotta get back to work at the press!"
"Well,see ya then Bohda."Jov,the one telling about the blue ailien,waved to Bohda as he lugged the apparently heavy bag of fruit (as it was nearly weighing him down with it).
"Blue ailien?"I asked him curiously,as soon as his attention was resumed to look out for more random custmors.
"Huh?Who said that?Oh!"He smiled down atme thoughtfully and went on with saying,"Hey there,lil fella!What can I do ya for,here at Jov's Intergalatic Produce Stand!"
"The blue ailien....what's his name?"I inquired with even more curiousty then before,leaning up on the counter.
"Stitch,why?I thought everybody knew about him and Lilo,gee wiz,she sure has done a lot for the 6000 CC experiments.Well,5999.1 of them got away she saw when she did her first yearly count of them all.But,oh well,maybe it found a good home somewhere.Why?"
"Where can I get to the planet of water?"I inquired once more.
"Here's a map."Jov said simply,using a finger to indicate "Earth" on a map in the distant galaxy somewhere.
"Thanks!"I cried gratefully and dashed off with it gripped firmly in one claw,heading for my ship.
"Hey,kid,wait.....!"He called after me,"That's a novelty item!"
"Sorry,"I called back down to him from the hitchcock and blasted over into deep space,knocking over a few market stands as I did.I was going to find Stitch and maybe Tron.
Present day:Earth 2020.....
"Keoni!"Lilo cried from her bedroom,"I think it's time!"
"Time?!"Keoni and Stitch said all at once and rushed into the room,where fast beads of sweat ran down Lilo's face.
"Better call the doctor!"Keoni said quickly and ran back into the parlor for the phone,"Hello,Dr. Tomodo.Yes,this is Keoni.My wife,she's in labor with our twins."
"Oh,Stitch..."Lilo,now 22,whispered gently to Stitch,"My first born babies.Can you believe it?I now I can't."
"Eka toe chiba."Stitch told her softly,as she stroked the top of his blue hair fondly and then starting to almost gasp for air.
"Lilo!"Stitch cried and then startedto whimper slightly.
"It's okay,Stitch,"Keoni acknoledged Stitch's worry,rufflling his fur as well and reaching down to clasp his young wife's hand,"She's going into labor.It's perfectly normal,trust me."
Stitch gingerly nodded and casted a solemn glance over Lilo,who had started to relasp in a cool but steady breathing.Soon,they were all cramped in the hospital and were paitently awaiting the birth of Lilo's twins.All except Nani,who was as usual,working late hours.
Much had changed even more over the last decade,Nani and David AND Lilo and Keoni had married,Lilo and Keoni had built a house right next to Nani and David's and so on.Not to mention,Nani and David's 5 year old daugther,Sarah.
"When's mama coming?"Sarah asked David concerndly.
"Soon,sweetheart,very soon.But right now,Aunt Lilo is having her new additonal Ohana."He was middle-aged now,him and his wife,but they were as active and as upbeat as ever.
"It's amazing the human cycle of life,isn't it?"Pleakley inquired Jumba with a teary gesture towards Lilo threw a glass window,who was pumping and then resting.
"Eh,yea,not much different then any other cycle."Jumba replied nonchalantly,waving his hand dismissfully in the air.But secretly,he admired it just as much as Pleakley did.
There was a sudden ringing noise and a nurse's aid awnered it,she stood in the doorframe of another room across the hall,while twirling the cord around her index finger.
"Yeah,mmm-hhmm,right...no!"She paused with a horrfied gasp,"But,her sister's right here,ready to give birth!"
They all cocked thier heads in the way of the nurse,as she nodded sadly and hung up.Utterly stunned,they turned to look at each other blankly as she walked forwards to them slowly.
"I'm afraid the girl,Nani,you were waiting for for the last few hours cannot make it of the moment."The nurse's aid didn't add any details of any sort,just skipped right to the point.
"What about my mommy?"Sarah asked the nurse in a bewildered tone,then turned to see everyone's face's hung sad and gloomy without any movement,as sorrow spread quickly threw out the room and then made her lose paitence,"Daddy!Where's mommy!?Where?!Where?!"
The nurse's aid pulled Sarah forward by the arm and then gently sat her down in a chair and ushered David forward with her long,red finger nails and whispered something to him.
"Oh,good god!!!!"He shrieked,completely devastated,he grabbed hold of Sarah and held her tightly againist his chest.
"Daddy..."Sarah whispered to him curiously,smuding the tears with her thumb that were streaking down his cheeks,"What's a matter,daddy?Where's mommy?When's she coming."
"Sarah,baby."Keoni told her grimly,trying to conceal the brokeness of lost in his voice,he turned to the others who nodded without really nodding,"Mommy's gone.Gone forever."
"What'd you mean?"Sarah asked him,unflinching-like.
"Sarah,mommy's an angel now,"David tried again in a near shaking voice and then just broke down into hard and painful sobs all together,leaving Sarah even more bewildered.
"Sarah..."Keoni tried to say to her and make it clear,"You're mom is...she's.......I'm sorry,but...."
"She's dead,sweetheart."The nurse aid cut in and gently picked her up and let Daivd take her in his arms to go to the room where Nani lay lifelessly on the white-sheeted bed.
"No more ohana,"Stitch muttered blankly and let tears of sorrow roll down his blue cheeks as well with a silent sob.
1 hour later....
I arrived on Earth with a start,after having to navigate a string of asteroids and few unwanted planets,I finally landed near a place called the "Hawiian General".I made my way out of the ship and into the building where I saw them all.Well,I reconginzed Stitch right away.
"Hey!"I said bounded up to him with hope brimming my bright green eyes,"You're that experiment I saw!From ten years ago,remember?"
He looked up at him and then smiled an upside down smile.Or maybe it wasfrown,I couldn't tell.I scanned the room and saw everyone staring at my threw teary eyes and wrinkled expressions.
"Lilo's sister died."Stitch came right out and said,"And Lilo doesn't know about it yet."
"Oh,I'm sorry..."I trailed off,looking over at the young girl in the next room groaning and grunting with pain,"Who's that?Is that her?"
"That would be the littlest little girl,"Jumba said quietly,his hands folded together,"She is to be having a little girl and little boyof her very own soon."
"Oh."I looked over at her and then walked over to the glass window as well,pressing my face againist the window,I made out some other figures hurrying about as well,"I'm Pyrite,by the way.Ex. CC 01."
"Ex. CC 01?!"Jumba gasped,aburptly dropping the mourning act,"The first of the Comet Corp Experiments?!!!"
"Yes,"I awnsered with a shrug,"I'm the first of them and I'm looking for my creator.TronTeffleToe Gubalee."
"Tron?I knew him from high school."Jumba laughed heartily and then got up to show me a picture on graduation day 1967,there Tron was,clad in a grayish-blue tux and smiling beside a few of his friends,whom I had seen off and on long ago.
"Where is he?"I asked excitedly.
"Haven't seen him since our High school reuion back in 72.Lost all contact back in early 76,sorry."He smiled sympathically down at me,when he saw the dissapointment in my eyes and was quick to add,"But Gubalee was a fine,fine friend.Had my same dream to create experiments,except of course I created evil ones and he wanted to opposite of me,but still...."
"I understand."I said with a reluctant sigh.
"Alright....push!"Came a hasty voice from the other room and the sounds of crying and wailing sounded.
"Congradulations,it's a two girls!"Another over-joyed voice came,then we all saw them.
"Honey,"Keoni spoke to her compassionately,"Thier the most beautiful little angels I've ever seen."
"Mmm-hmm.Where's Nani and Jennifer?I want them to see Kellie (named after you're grandmother) and well,I haven't thought of the other name."Lilo said with equal compassion,staring lovingly down at the two naping infants resting sweetly in her arms.
Keoni sighed and placed a firm but careful hand on his wife's shoulder and looked her straight into the eye,but before he could say anything,Stitch came padding up to the side of her bed to look at them.
"Stitch,this is Kellie and...her sister."Lilo told me with an adoring smile,leaning forward so he could see them.She didn't have to,because Stitch climbed onto the bed and let the grasp one of his claws in each hand.While useing the other two to pat them on the head and smile up at Lilo but thencringed.
"Lilo."Keoni started again,when he saw his wife's eyes clouded with worry and her brow furrowed,"Nani was in a car accident coming up here from work.She was in a hurry and didn't se the trunk pulling in front of her.I'm sorry,she didn't make it."
All at once,Lilo's world came crashing and/or spiraling down.I could see it her eyes,she sat thier and was very still and quiet.Then...she weeped,weeped with all her might.When she finally raised her head after about 20 minutes of non-stop crying.Hot tears were still going down her face.
"How...How could this happen?"She asked no one in particular,her voice coming out as a tiny,weak squeak,"She never did anything to desirve this!"
Before I knew it,I was making a made hurtle towards the front door,when I ran into someone in an over coat.He had a wrinkled face and droopy blue eyes.
"I'm sorry,Py."He apologized,tipping me his hat.
"Thats-Huh?!How did you know my name...?"I gasped and then turned to see him taking off his hat,"Tron!!!!!!!!It's you,it's really you!"
"Py,I thought you might recognize me after so long apart!"We started to walk towards the ship,with so much to catch up on,but something was holding me back.
"Tron,we have to stay."I told him with a serious look.
"Indeed,"He repiled,looking behind his back.
4 months later....
Tron and I are living together with the Lilo,David and Stitch now.And thier twins girls,Kellie and Tani.We worked everything out and now even the rest of them live with us.Tron and I had a lot to catch up on and things to tell each other.I've become practical best friends with Stitch and Lilo and I get to help monitor my 5999 cousins on the monitors.
As for Nani,who I soon learned a lot about after she had passed away,had a funeral near her and Lilo's parents nearly 3 and a half months ago.Tron and Jumba are real chumps now as well,Sarah loves the twins and helps out with them and life couldn't get any better if we all tried to make it better.
The last thing I wanna write down here is this,something Stitch explained to me and so on.And here it is,"Ohana.Means family and family means...nobody gets left behind or forgotten."
Nani 1975-2020.
With all the thoughts and memmories to ever remind me of my life.My Reflections of Retrospections,comes to a final and happy draw.
Siniceraly,
Pyrite 01 Gubalee.
