The Dance

Chapter 2

We hopped onto the tricycle I had taken from Myrtle a while ago, and rode into town. We stopped near some shops, got off, and looked around for some supplies.

As we peered into one of the store windows, Lilo commented, "We need something for a shady circus top. The sun makes slugs cranky."

As she said this, we both heard a loud stomping sound, and people screaming in panic.

"Huh?" we both asked in confusion.

It didn't take me too long to figure it out, though.

'Oh yay... It's Gantu,' I thought sarcastically.

"And speaking of cranky, there's Mr. Cranky Head himself," Lilo confirmed.

I heard the familiar, booming voice of the big dummy...

"There's no use hiding! When it comes to hunting abominations, Gantu never loses!" he cried.

Although it was softer, I was also able to pick out the sarcastic tone of 625, the lazy sandwich-making prototype of myself.

"Except, when you lose, which happens to be, most of the time."

There could only be one reason that Gantu was causing this havoc, and I was sure Lilo knew it as well.

"Cousin hagata?" I asked her.

"Yep, there's got to be an experiment around here somewhere," she replied in the affirmative. "You find it, I'll deal with the big dummy."

If I had not known Lilo better, I wouldn't have trusted her at all to do that task. But she had done it before, and I had little doubt that she could do it again. We split up, but right before I hopped on the tricycle, I heard Lilo cry out in surprise.

I turned around; ready to go back and see what was the matter, when she cried out, "Hey! You're supposed to say 'Excuse me!'"

In that instant, I saw a cousin taking off from about the same place that Lilo had run in to.

"Hmmm?" I wondered.

I hopped on the tricycle, and after getting it turned around, tore down the road after him/her.

Before too long, I saw the experiment, but was distracted when Gantu cried out in shock, and Lilo called to him, "Have a nice trip!"

This distraction was just enough for me to lose track of the cousin. I had slowed down, and pedaled into a nearby alley. I rode further in, and heard some things falling over. Then I saw the cousin looking back at me, before he/she (I was not quite sure yet) ran further in.

"Hmmm?"

'That looks a bit like me...' I noticed, not getting a clear look at it.

Now I was expecting to get into a fight with this experiment, not that I really wanted to do it, but would if need be. So, I hopped off the tricycle, and followed.

When I saw it looking at a dead-end, I grinned to myself, and called out, "Goocha!"

This experiment was as tall as I was, had pink fur and long antennae.

But, only when a voice answered back, with a soft, sly tone, "Goo-cha..." was I finally able to determine that I was dealing with a female experiment.

However, I had not been expecting Jumba to create such a beautiful, stunning, breathtaking experiment as the one that turned around and faced me. When she turned around, so did my entire attitude and demeanor.

The look in her eyes was a strange one, not one of hatred or anger, but of kindness... and something else. I suddenly felt funny, and nervously giggled and gulped, while shaking like a leaf, taking her existence in.

Her body curved just so, practically making me succumb to her. Her chest had a white 'V' on it, and wasn't broad, yet it was larger than mine was. I was mentally drooling at this. And that look... she seemed overjoyed to have found me, for more reasons than one. She blinked in knowing innocence.

'Oh, I need to make a good first impression!' I thought suddenly. 'But what to say? Oh! I'll welcome her!'

"Heh... Ha... Hi!" I managed to choke out, grinning stupidly and waving at her.

Saying 'hi' to her was MUCH harder than saying it to anyone else. I heard Lilo come up behind us.

"Stitch! What's the matter?" she cried out, obviously unhappy that I hadn't captured the experiment yet. "She's a nasty one! Grab her before she eats us!"

'Eats us?! What does she mean? Maybe this one ran into her earlier...' I barely managed to think, this new cousin being my main focus.

"Naga," I answered Lilo, quickly putting together a half-truth, and walking up to the experiment. "She bookley da booji bu!"

I hoped that she (the cousin) didn't take that how it could have been taken. I meant it as, "She's very precious!" but it also could have been taken as, "She is my mate!"

My cousin's eyes lit up in happy surprise at the comment, and she licked my cheek. I had mixed feelings about this...

'No, she took it wrong! But... that sure did feel good!' I thought.

So good, I let my ears flop down, and I grinned like a moron again.

"She's no booji bu; she's one of Jumba's evil experiments!" Lilo countered.

'How can someone so beautiful, pure, and graceful be evil?!' I faintly pondered, as the experiment licked my forehead, reinforcing my comment.

"Oh, naga! She bookley da booji bu!" I cried again, stressing it more this time.

Lilo scowled at this, not very common for her to do.

"Hmmm..." she muttered.

'Gee, I wonder what her problem is? She should be happy; that's the fastest I've ever reformed an experiment, and I didn't even have to harm it!'

Then I turned my thoughts back to my cousin.

'If only I had known before that Jumba had created her, I would have taken her pod out of the container before Lilo tossed it out of Hamsterviel's spaceship window... heh heh...' I told myself, as dirty thoughts crawled into my head.

Then reality hit me like a few tons of bricks...

'Wait! What if she was acting, and she wants nothing to do with me?!' I realized, now worried.

But this made me more determined to find out as much about this pink experiment as I could, and I would do so as we all headed back home...

That's the end of Chapter 2. Chapter 3 will be along shortly, and I will admit now, this is one chapter that I'm REALLY looking forward to writing... I'm going to try to disprove the main argument against the Angel and Stitch pairing:

"It was only for looks, they never got time to know each other!"

I hope to please many people with the next one, especially the A/S supporters. Please review, and let me know where I could improve...
