Chapter 9

Hula Class

625 woke up to find Marie wearing a hula skirt.

'' Wow! I guess you're going to be the little miss dancing queen for the day'', 625 said, with a smirk and slight sarcasm.

Marie heard the sarcasm, then she said sarcastically,'' Gee, thanks for the support.''

625 was surprised that Marie made a sarcastic comment at him! ''Well... I'm sorry. Well, good luck on your dancing... and don't fall off the stage.''

'' Don't worry. I won't. Plus I won't let the door hit me on the way out!''

'' Aww! She said that before I had the chance to!''

Marie heard 625 say that and she snickered.

'' Bye Marie. See you later.''

Marie walked up to a building and saw a blue 'dog' with big ears walk up to her,'' Hi little guy.'' She petted the 'dog' on the head.

'' Barkity bark'', the 'dog' barked.

Marie entered the building and saw a girl with red hair and wearing blue glasses walk up to her,'' You were petting that disconfigured dog! Eww!''

'' So what's wrong with that?'', Marie asked,'' I have a dog too.''

''Well I do too,'' the girl with red hair said,'' But she's not a disconfigured dog. Right girls?''

Three girls were behind the red haired girl, with their arms crossed,'' Yeah!''

Marie scoffed,'' Fine be a jerk! Oh, and your red hair makes you look like Bozo the clown!''

She walked away and sat on a chair, next to another girl.

'' Hi! My name's Lilo. What's yours?'', The girl said, with a smile on her face.

'' I'm Marie''.

The blue dog entered the school and walked up to Lilo then looked at Marie.

'' This is my dog. His name is Stitch,'' Lilo said.

'' I have a dog too'', Marie said.

'' My dog's breed is a blue furred ectoplasmic detection dog.''

'' Is that even a real breed?''

'' No''.

'' Had a feeling.''

'' What about your dog?''

'' I think he may be a bulldog, since he's very brave. He saved me from a severe pounding by some bullies a few days ago!''

'' Wow! My dog could lift up 3000 times his own weight and he could see in the dark!''

'' Uh, are you sure your dog's a dog?''

'' Can you keep a secret?''

'' Sure!''

'' My dog's an illegal genetic mutant from outer space, so he's an alien dog.''

'' Weird! But cool.''

'' I know.''

The red haired girl walked up to them,'' Hi Wierdlo. I see that you've made a friend who's gonna catch your weirdlo cooties.''

Marie got angry,'' She happens to be a very nice friend, you big clown jerk!''

'' My name's Myrtle.''

'' Okay Myrtle. Don't you have a birthday party to go to? Where's your clown outfit?''

Myrtle walked away to sulk.

'' Thanks Marie,'' Lilo said.

'' Don't put up with them,'' Marie said.

'' But they're my friends.''

'' Not really. They're mean. People who treat you with respect are your friends, like your dog and... me.''

'' You are my friend.''

'' Really?''

'' Yep. Till the end.''

Marie smiled. Lilo did too. Stitch tilted his head to the side.

The hula teacher walked in,'' Good morning class. Today we have a new student. Her name's Marina.''

Marie walked up to the front of the class,'' Hi everybody.''

Everyone was silent, except for Lilo and Stitch,'' Hi Marie.''

'' Welcome!'', Stitch said.

Marie sat back down on her seat.

'' Lilo, do you want to come over to my house after hula class?'', Marie asked, politely,'' Stitch could come too.''

'' Sure. Wanna come Stitch?'', Lilo answered.

'' Ih!'', Stitch replied.

Later after hula class was over, Lilo and Stitch followed Marie to her house.

Marie watched Stitch walked on trees and picket fences,'' Still hard to believe that your dog's an illegal genetic mutation from outer space. But I still believe you.''

Lilo took in a deep breath and said pretty quickly,'' We try to capture all of Stitch's cousins. He has six hundred and twenty five cousins and we catch them and turn them good and find the one place where they belong. We also have to save them from an evil gerbil named Hamsterveil, who wants to dominate the world. Gantu works for him. He's a tall shark-like looking alien with blue eyes, and he has a sidekick who's yellow and lazy.''

'' Uh... who's who?''

'' Never mind. You won't understand.''

Marie had a dazed look on her face. That only lasted for a few seconds,'' Well, here's my house. Come inside.''

They entered the house.

'' I'll be back. Wait here,'' Marie said. She walked to the kitchen to find 625 making some sandwiches. (As usual.)

'' This is the first place I'd look to find you. Anyway, come on. I want you to meet my friends.''

'' What friends, Marie?'', the sandwich maker asked, tilting his head to the side.

'' The friends I met in hula class. One of them has a dog and he's blue.''

'' When you mean blue, which blue do you mean? The sad blue or the blue color?''.

'' Silly dog. Blue color. His fur is blue and he has large ears.''

625 gulped and saw Stitches ear from the hallway.

Oh great! My cousin's here. They'll tell Marie that I work for Gantu, and then they'll send me away, 625 thought. He began to feel very nervous now. He shivered as his fur stood on end at the back of his neck.

'' Are you okay? Oh, I get it. You're shy.''

625 faced Marie. '' You're right! I'm shy. I'm not used to meeting new people, that's me all right,'' He fibbed,'' I'll stay here.''

'' Okay, I guess.''

Marie left the kitchen and went back to Lilo,'' My dog's not used to seeing new people. He's kinda shy. Anyway I'll show you my room. Come on.''

Lilo and Stitch followed her to the bedroom.

'' Wow!'', Lilo said, in awe. She saw all the stuffed animals in the room,'' Where'd you get all the toys?''

'' I made them.''

'' You did?''

'' Yeah. Want me to teach you how to make one?''

'' Sure.''

'' Follow me.''

They went to the attic. Stitch laid down on the pile of fleece.

'' My dog likes to do that everytime I'm up here. Falls asleep in the fleece,'' Marie said.

She got some sewing needles and some thread,'' Choose some felt so we could make our dolls.''

Lilo chose some blue felt and cut it into the shape of Stitch. Marie got some pink felt and cut it into the shape of a human. The sewing took two hours. Lilo made a Stitch doll.

'' That's cute'', Marie said,'' It looks exactly like Stitch.''

'' That's because it is Stitch'', Lilo said, smiling.

They both laughed.

'' It's late! My sister's expecting me home. Thanks for inviting me. See you next time'', Lilo said, then she faced Stitch,'' Come Stitch. We have to leave.''

They left the house, while Marie waved goodbye.

'' She's very nice. Isn't she Stitch?'', Lilo asked.

Stitch smiled at the thought that his friend has found a friend her age to play with.

He looked at Lilo with a smile,'' Ih!''

625 looked at Marie close the front door,'' Are they gone?''

Marie frowned then she said sadly,'' Yeah.''

625 looked at Marie,'' Are you okay?''

'' I'm fine. Nothing for you to be concerned about.''

'' Sandwich? I made one for you. It's grilled cheese.''

Marie smiled,'' Thanks.''

625 gave her the sandwich that was on the plate,'' So do you like it?''

'' This is the best sandwich I've ever had. Thanks,'' Marie said, as she swallowed the sandwich.

625 smiled,'' Thanks. I'll see you later.''

He went to the living room and turned on the t.v.

A movie was on the t.v.

'' Oh! This movie's a classic?'', Marie said, entering the room.

'' What's it called?''

'' It's called ' Come Back Home, Goldie'. It's about this dog that ran away from home from an abusive owner, but the dog misses his abusive owner occasionally. Makes no sense. Why would somebody miss someone who was abusive to them?''

625 gulped then looked at the t.v.

Marie sat next to him while watching the movie.

It was late at night and 625 held back his tears while he was watching the movie. He knew exactly how that dog felt. His heart sank, as more tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn't stand to see that movie any longer. He abruptly got out of the living room and ran upstairs. He crawled into his bed and placed the covers over his face, and sobbed quietly to himself.

Marie turned off the t.v. '' I've seen this movie anyway. I've gotta go to bed.''

She entered the room to see 625 pretending to sleep,'' Tired 625?''

625 didn't respond. He stayed silent.

'' You must've fallen asleep already. Good night 625.''

No response.

Marie crawled into bed and turned off the light.

625 slowly lifted his head to make sure that Marie was asleep. More tears slid down his sad face,'' Stupid movie! Had to make me cry.''

He sobbed softly, which was enough sound to wake Marie. Marie opened an eye to look at 625. She found him staring out the window, crying to himself. She thought he needed some time alone so she let him be.

625 failed to notice that he woke Marie from a peaceful sleep. He continued to stare at the moon until he cried himself to sleep, on the warm carpet floor.

TBC...
