Chapter 3. First Impressions

They waited quietly in the lab. Stitch was tired and he leaned against the wall and soon dozed off. But he awoke soon when he heard a familliar voice singing a pleasant song. Angel. His ears perked up. She was singing her song backwards to 628, her paws pressed against the glass. 628 didn't really seem to care.

"Angel" Stitch started and stood up on his feet. But she looked at him and shook her head, breaking his heart in a way. But he understood this was what she needed to do so he stood and watched.

Jumba suddenly took the top off the container, releasing 628. 628 began to cackle, realising what had happened. But as he began to run, Angel suddenly put her arm in front of him.

Fury raged in him, wondering the nerve of her to possibly stop him in his tracks. He tried to move her arm. She didn't budge, and she kept a steady hold on her arm so he wouldn't get away.

He figured this wasn't going to help at all, so he started around her. But she bolted over, following his steps and keeping in front of him. She wasn't going to let him get away.

Then, anger flowed through him and he exploded. He rushed around, trying to get around her in every way. But once he realised he was trapped and she wasn't about to let him go, he did the oddest thing to all of them.

He got down on his knees and started to cry. At first, his sniffles were soft and sharp, but soon he just bursted into tears and sobbed, feeling alone. Everyone in the room watched him carefully, especially Jumba who stroked his chin and mumbled, "But I decreased the emotions...".

Stitch then saw that this was no killing monster, but more of an angry and lonely monster who couldn't help his temper and that his need to destroy was increased much higher than normal.

Angel's eyes saddened, realising this as well. When Lilo mentioned that she needed to tame a wild monster, Angel had been nervous about it. But there he was, crying like a young child. Angel didn't know what else to do, but she put her arms around him and held him tight, stroking him and trying to calm him.

Once he had gained control, he pushed away from her and was put back in a container, a larger size this time to give him some room. Angel was shocked, but knew he had no way of knowing what he had done. She sighed and stood up straight.

"Hey, Angel?" Lilo asked, stopping her.

"Gaba?" She turned to face her.

"Could you come tomorrow? Maybe we could train him."

Angel was quiet, thinking about it.

"Sure." She nodded, then she was off.
