Part 2: Another Cousin Awaits
It was a beautiful day in Hawaii and everybody was enjoying themselves at the beach. Stitch and Lilo were building a sandcastle while Jumba and Pleakley were behind them, watching carefully.
"What's the purpose for building sandcastles anyway?" Pleakley asked.
"Can they build sandcastle just for kicks?" Jumba asked back.
"Well, yeah. It's just the fact that..."
Pleakley was interrupted as well as everybody else when a large black hole appeared out of nowhere. Stitch and Lilo reacted to this quickly.
"That's not Holio, is it?" Lilo asked. Stitch shook his head.
"Oh, naga. Holio aggata chikku." Stitch replied.
"That's right. So, what's happening?"
What happened next, answered her question. NiGHTS suddenly appeared out of the black hole and splashed into the water. She couldn't swim because her density was just as large as Stitch's. Lilo saw this and called David to come and rescue NiGHTS. He came 30 minutes later and immediately dived into the water. After 20 seconds, he came back up to the surface with NiGHTS in his arms. He walked up to shore and settled her down on the sand. Everybody gathered around to take a look at her. Stitch pushed himself through the crowd and got a real close up at her. Then, he decided to save her by performing CPR. That shocked everybody. He got on top of NiGHTS and opened her mouth slowly. Then, he took a deep breath, held it, and leaned down towards her mouth and blew his breath into her. Everybody was watching anxiously as Stitch repeated this procedure 6 more times before NiGHTS finally coughed up some water and opened her eyes. Stitch sat up and looked at her. She straightened up her eyesight quickly and saw Stitch. She loved how cute and adorable he looked. Stitch thought the same about her. They stared at each other for a long time until everybody cheered. They picked up Stitch as they congratulated him. NiGHTS stood up and smiled at the crowd, focusing on Stitch. His size and cuteness made her sigh lovingly. Lilo walked up to her.
"Hello," she greeted. "What's your name?"
"NiGHTS. What's yours?"
"Lilo." She granted a hand to her as she took it. "It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too. Who is that adorable extraterrestrial?"
"That's my pet, Stitch. He adopted him from an animal shelter, but since we know that he's an alien, Mertle's been calling me 'Weirdlo' every day."
NiGHTS nodded, still staring at Stitch, who was settled down back on the sand. She really admired his short height and adorable looks. At this point, Stitch was in love. NiGHTS wanted to prove to the citizens of Hawaii that she was weird herself. She did so by floating in mid-air. That made everybody gasp in amazement. Stitch squealed.
"Ooooooh! Meega jagga kweesta!" He exclaimed. NiGHTS smiled as she flew down towards him.
"How about I give you a ride back to your house, Stitch?" She asked seductively. Stitch drooled at her deep female voice and nodded. She hovered right over the sand to allow him to climb on her back. She looked at Lilo.
"Do you wanna join him?"
Lilo nodded as she approached her and climbed on her back and flew off. Jumba, Pleakley, and David stared at her speechlessly.
"624 is not gonna like NiGHTS, due to 626's crush." Jumba said to David, who just shrugged his shoulders.
Back at Lilo's...
NiGHTS just landed in the front yard of Lilo's house. Stitch and Lilo jumped off of her and walked up to the front door. NiGHTS just flew up to the door and turned invisible so she could float right through the door. That made Stitch's eyes shape into hearts and Lilo gasped.
"WHOA!!!! Did ya see that, Stitch!?!?!" She asked.
"Ih." He replied, dazed.
They walked inside and found NiGHTS on the couch, watching a romantic movie. Angel came out of the hallway to greet her bushi bu, but Stitch just walked past her and sat on the couch, next to NiGHTS. Angel noticed this and growled under her breath. She noticed that Stitch had a small crush on NiGHTS and grew jealous. Lilo saw this and walked up to her.
"Calm down, Angel," she said to Angel. "Just because Stitch has a crush on NiGHTS, doesn't mean that he'll forget about you."
Angel took a deep breath as she walked up to Stitch and NiGHTS. Stitch was in her lap, being treated like a dog. She was rubbing his back gently as he started to purr. As Angel heard the purring, she froze. She knew that once he purred, he ignored her. But, she tried anyway.
"Stitch?" She called. He sat up and jumped down to her. It worked!
"Yeah, bushi bu?" He greeted back. She smiled.
"Meega want bushi bu get snack."
"Naga problem." He replied, walking her to the kitchen. Lilo smiled as she followed them, followed by Pleakley, Nani, and David. Jumba sat next to NiGHTS, who still had her bright purple eyes focused on the television.
"You know, NiGHTS," Jumba started. "I think you were too affectionate to 626. You almost caused 624 become jealous because of you."
NiGHTS nodded, but was still focused on her t.v. show.
"I know that, Jumba," she replied. "I just like him because he's really adorable and affectionate. What more can I say?"
Jumba chuckled. "Well, 626 is cute and fluffy, but remember... he does have a bushi bu."
"A what?" She turned towards him, looking confused.
"A bushi bu. Alien term for 'loved one'. Her name is Angel, or experiment 624. She was designed to turn all good experiments back to evil, but since she's in love with 626, she decided to disable that ability permanently."
"Oh. I'm not really treating him like that. I'm just treating him like he was my aquaintence or pet."
"But, he is little girl's pet."
"That's not what I..."
"I know! You're exaggerating, NiGHTS!!" Jumba took a deep breath. "Just treat him like aquaintence for now, okay?"
She was about to continue the quarrel, but she saw the look on Jumba's face. She didn't want to push it too far, so she just replied with a: "Okay, Jumba," and continued to watch her show. Jumba nodded once in satisfaction before he stood up a left, leaving NiGHTS by herself.
She needed to think about what he just said. Jumba thought that she was treating Stitch like a bushi bu, but she pleated that she didn't. Jumba didn't buy it and ordered her to make Stitch an aquaintence instead until further notice.
On Part 3, see how NiGHTS handles her first days in Hawaii after escaping from the Nightopian Patrol through a black hole. Will her feelings change or will she still be concerned about her friends back in Nightopia. Find out on the next chapter...
