Chapter 14
Friends Forever
'' 625? You're alive?'', Marie said.
'' Of course I am'', 625 said, as he hugged Marie back.
'' Hold it! Hold everything'', A one eyed alien said.
'' Whoa! Who let the walking coat-rack loose?'', 625 said.
Marie suppressed her laughter.
'' Pleakley! What are you doing here?'', Lilo asked.
'' Where's Hamsterwheel? The Grand Council Woman called to tell us that Hamsterwheel's escaped from jail again'', Pleakley asked.
625 saw Hamsterveil's body by a bush. He grabbed him by the tail and dragged him to Pleakley. Jumba arrived with a capture container in his hand. 625 put Hamsterveil inside the container, as Jumba closed it.
'' 625? Vhy are your antennae, spines, and extra arms out? You never vanted to use your powers'', Jumba said.
625 hid his extra appendages under his skin.
Gantu walked up to 625,'' I'm so sorry I was a big jerk to you. Forgive me?''
625 grinned a bit,'' It's okay G. I forgive you. You were just doing your job.''
Then he turned to Marie,'' You know what Marie, I never... Do you people mind?''
Gantu, Jumba, Pleakley, Lilo, and Stitch moved away to let 625 talk to Marie in peace.
'' Anyway, I never realized what family meant until I met you. Thanks for letting me understand the meaning of 'Ohana. Also Gantu was my previous 'owner' and he did take care of me, but now he's got no place to go since his 'home' exploded'', 625 said.
Marie smiled since she had an idea in mind.
'' Okay, where's Hamsterwheel?'', A tall blue alien asked,'' I'll escort him back to jail.''
'' It's Hamsterveil! You tall Giraffe footed lady with an oddly shaped head'', Hamsterveil shouted.
Jumba gave the capture container with Hamsterveil inside it. He was taken into a large spaceship.
Gantu frowned since he had no place to go. Marie stood beside Gantu and smiled.
Gantu was curious on what Marie had in mind.
Marie and 625 walked back home to discover the house was destroyed. Peg regained consciousness and stood up. Marie helped her mother up.
'' Marie! You're okay! Don't ever scare me like that again!'', Peg said.
'' I'm okay, mom. 625 saved me from the clutches of an evil gerbil. Also another thing, this really tall guy who took me actually saved me before his house exploded. Mom also I have an idea'', Marie smiled.
625 had a feeling he knew what the plan was.
'' Oh Gantu,'' 625 said, in a half sing song/teasing tone of voice.
Gantu glared down at his yellow companion,'' What is it?''
'' Guess who's gonna be an uncle'', 625 chuckled,'' Come on now, guess.''
Gantu rolled his eyeballs,'' Who? You?''
'' Oh no! Me? Marie's uncle, now please. I'm the dog''.
'' Oh! Now I know.''
Then there was this awkward silence.
Gantu broke that silence,'' I'm gonna be an uncle!''
'' And that took him... one minute to realize that. A new record.''
'' I'm gonna be an uncle!''
'' Calm down, Uncle Gantu! Everyone's staring at us''.
625 was right. Lilo, Peg, Marie, Stitch, Jumba, Stitch, and Pleakley were staring at Gantu shouting,'' I'm gonna be an uncle''.
625 covered his eyes with his hands from embarrassment,'' I don't know this guy.''
Everyone laughed.
'' What are we going to do with our house? It's destroyed'', Marie said.
Lilo went up to Marie,'' No problem. We could handle that.''
625 found Fredrick on the floor,'' Remember me?''
'' You're the alien! Oh'', Fredrick fainted again.
'' He remembers. Hey Marie, remember to give this guy a doggie treat. He remembers that I'm an alien.''
Marie rolled her eyeballs,'' Oh, 625.''
Lilo and Stitch left to get a few house-building helpers.
625 saw Jumba drawing some blueprints for the new house they were going to build.
'' Whacha doing?'', 625 asked.
'' After I say it, I bet you say wisecrack'', Jumba answered.
'' Not today, so what's you're idea?''
'' Building a house.''
'' Now look who's wisecracking now. Jumba, Jumba, Jumba''.
'' Don't you triple Jumba me!''
'' Too late. Just did. So can I help you build the house?''
'' Let's see how long that'll last.''
Later...
625 was eating a sandwich on a bench beside the newly built house.
Marie saw 625,'' What are you doing.''
'' I'm on my break'', 625 replied.
'' But you just took a break two minutes ago!''
'' What can I say, building a house is hard work.''
'' You only pounded one nail onto the wall. Hard work, hmm?''
'' Yeah. I think I'll take an even longer break, after I paint the wall of your room. Want the walls of your room cerulean?''
'' Aww, you're so sweet. How'd you know that's my favorite color?''
'' Uhhh... lucky guess'', 625 fibbed, as he thought, I read your diary. Ha!
'' What color should the wallpaper be?''
'' I dunno.''
'' I'll let you decide.''
625 watched Stitch bring some wood to Jumba,'' I guess I should get back to work.''
Lilo walked up to 625,'' Marie's room is ready for painting. Also, get back to work.''
'' Okay Lilo.''
'' It's... Hey! He said it right that time.''
625 took the paint and brushes to the empty room. He realized that the room was big, compared to him. He looked around the room and made sure nobody was looking. He revealed his secondary pair of arms and began painting the walls. He walked on the walls to paint the ceiling. Stitch watched 625 paint upside down and chuckled. 625 jumped as he dropped the paintbrushes and hid his secondary pair of arms under his skin. He jumped off the ceiling and landed on his feet.
'' 626! Don't ever scare me like that again!'', 625 said.
'' Using your extra arms to paint?'', Stitch teased.
'' No!''
'' You were.''
'' Busted. Well, do you wanna help me paint''.
'' Ih.''
'' Good here's the paint, and I'm taking a break.''
Stitch made a shocked look on his face,'' Gaba ika tasoopa?''
'' The big deal is... I'm tired.''
'' Naga bootifa!''
'' Hey, nobody said painting would be cool.''
Stitch growled,'' Aggaba. Help paint.''
'' I need a break. There's no stopping me.''
'' I'll tell everyone about you painting using your four arms.''
'' Blackmail. Aww blitznak!''
625 had to help Stitch paint.
With the help of Stitch's cousins, the house was built. Since Marie had a huge yard, There were two houses. One for Gantu, and one for Marie, Peg, and 625.
'' Aww, look Gantu, you've got a real house to live in now. Remember when you told me about your sad past? Forget those memories and stick with these new memories. We'll visit you everyday G'', 625 said, then he sobbed slightly,'' A happy family.''
'' Crying?'', Gantu asked.
625 recovered quickly,'' No.''
Marie went up to Gantu,'' Welcome home, Uncle Gantu.''
Gantu smiled since those words meant so much to him.
A few days later...
625 was at Lilo's house. Lilo threw a party welcoming Marie into the neighborhood. 625 handed Lilo the real experiment pods that he left on the kitchen table a few days ago.
'' I believe these belong to you. Find their one true place, Plilo'', 625 said.
'' My name's Lilo!''
'' You're name's hard for me to remember!''.
'' It can't be that hard! It's only four words! Also you said it right before!''
'' Whatever.''
Stitch tapped 625 on the shoulder,'' Come.''
'' Where?'', The sandwich maker asked.
'' Kitchen. Cousins.''
'' Cuz. What are you talking about?''
Stitch lead 625 to the kitchen. All of his cousins were there, but there was one thing that was different. Everyone was happy and not angry at him, as usual. 625 felt like he was part of the family. He was usually labeled as the enemy that works for Gantu but not anymore. All his life he was the black sheep of the family that was left behind and forgotten. He felt lost and now he felt that he was found. He was happy now all thanks to Marie who showed up in his need for a friend.
625 sat down between Splodyhead and Yang,'' Um... hi?''
He wasn't really used to interacting with his cousins.
'' Pleased to meet you'', Bonnie said.
Fibber beeped.
'' Ignore Bonnie. She sucks her thumb when nobody's looking'', Nosey said.
'' I DO NOT!'', Bonnie shouted.
Fibber beeped.
'' The lie detecter never lies'', 625 said.
Marie and Lilo played with their dolls. Lilo showed her doll Scrump to Marie.
'' Aww, she's cute'', Marie said.
'' Really? I think I made her head too big'', Lilo said.
'' Not really''.
'' Thanks.''
Gantu watched the sunset as it was getting dark,'' Marie, 625, let's go.''
Marie and 625 said goodbye to Lilo, Stitch, Pleakley, Nani, and Jumba.
'' Thanks for inviting us over. I'll see you in hula class tomorrow, bye!'', Marie said.
'' Bye 626. Bye cousins'', 625 said.
They walked up to Gantu and walked home.
'' That party was great, don't you think Uncle Gantu?'', Marie said.
'' It was'', Gantu said.
625 remained silent the whole way home.
The house was alot more larger now to accommodate Gantu since he was now Marie's uncle. Peg didn't mind that Gantu was now Marie's 'uncle' so she treated him like part of the family.
Gantu been spending quality time with Marie lately. 625 usually came along to play games at the park with them as they started to know each other a little better.
Gantu and Marie entered the house, while 625 stayed outside.
'' Come on, 625. Come inside'', Marie said, invitingly.
'' In a minute'', came the sandwich maker's reply.
625 stared at the house. He realized why his heart felt empty before, he didn't feel loved, but now he does.
He even realized that for the first time in his life he was finally home in the one place where he actually belonged.
He smiled and entered the house,'' I'm coming inside. I wouldn't want to be late for dinner to keep everyone waiting.''
The End
Finally, I'm finished with the fanfic. Thanks for the reviews you people sent me. They gave me confidence in writing this story. I had stuck in my head since December 2004. I didn't give 625 a name for two reasons: It's hard to think of a name for that cute little guy and I don't have gotta name 625 syndrome, plus I used some parts from the first Lilo and Stitch movie for this fanfic, I always planned to do that the whole time. I wish that I would stop being reminded of that. My original idea was chapter 14 to be a song fic, but that rule that Fanfiction. net put, had to cause me to change that. This fanfic was originally supposed to end on chapter 15, but since it was too short I decided to end the story at chapter 14. Anyway thanks for reading this fanfic and I could use a review for this final chapter. I hoped you enjoyed this fanfic.
Sequel? Who knows? Maybe.
