Jennifer and Nani sat side by side on long stoop,awaiting the return of Lilo and the rest of them all.Jennifer,on one hand,had felt bad for just completely forgetting about Lilo the last few days and had decided to come see if she had been doing the same but Nani had explained the situtation to her (leaving out the part about Lilo's obvious whereabouts for obivous reasons,of course) and told her Lilo had run off some one.On the other hand,Nani sat shaking with fear of the possiblity something could have happened to her only sister.
"I shouldn't have just left her in that kind of mood,"Jennifer told Nani in a hushed voice to keep the sadness out of it.
"Well,I should have known there was something wrong a long time ago."Nani said more to herself then to Jennifer,not bothering to hide the deep melancholy within her.
"What'd you mean by that?"Jennifer asked her curiously,raising her brows at the thought that anyone but her could feel the way she felt right now.
"Like I somehow let her down,you know.Me and Lilo have always been close,but sometimes I think not close enough.Not close enough to tell me every single thing that goes on in her life.I love her like a mother would and I only want whats best."Nani let it all blurt out without a second's thought.
"Oh.That's....that's very interesting."Jennifer repiled with mock enthusasim,trying not to roll her eyes at the fact that this was not only sad and truthful but pathetic and wry.
"I'm sorry,Jennifer.But,you were the only one here and I-I just well...I-"Nani started up,now just realizing what she had been saying and doing all along.
"It's really okay,I know how you feel.Lilo's really tooken me under her wing and been my friend ever since I came here.But I haven't been a total friend by complaining about where she lives and not giving a new york minute about her when she vainished without a trace."Jennifer spilled her side of the story as well,it seemed they both had a lot to contribute to the fact that recently they hadn't really been acting like an older sister or a real friend as well as they use to.
"If I could..."Nani started to sob uncontrollably and burried her face into her lap,"If I could just take back whatever it is I ever said to make her feel so down right now..."
"Look!"Jennifer cried out and ducked her head as Jumba's space ship came hurtling down from the sky and about 30 feet over thier heads,"Oh my...my....my go-ah-dah!"
"Lilo!!!"Nani gasped breathlessly,raisng her head to look at the now landing space craft on top of thier roof.
"Lilo?!Are you kidding me!?"Jennifer asked her in complete bewilderment and surprise.
"No,come on!"Nani shouted to her without looking back,as she raced into the house to meet them.
"Good timing.I think Nani and David are probabley still-"Lilo was telling Stitch as her,Stitch,Jumba,Pleakley and 628 were leaving the ship,but was cut short by Nani coming up on the roof and rushing over to squeeze her to death in a tight embrace of relief and happiness.
"Lilo!Oh my goodness!Are you okay!?"Nani asked her uproaringly,looking directly into her mixed-emotional eyes.
"Nani..."Lilo started up when she was threw,just sort of standing there looking back into her own sister's tear-streakedeyes,"I'm sorry."
"Lilo,why are you sorry?I'm the one that should be..."Nani retorted in mid-sentence and then got lost in Lilo's own returning embrace.
"I should have listened to you!Instead of only thinking about myself.Which I was doing,it was all more for me then for the experiments.I wanted to get away from what was bothering me nowadays,instead of heading it face on like I'm suppose to."Lilo admitted in a snuffle and let tears start to sting her already stinging blood-shot eyes.
"Lilo,"Nani said softly,coming down to her sister's level,"Part of having problems,having an ohana,is being able to come to the ones you care about most or you can trust when you have them.Not always trying to cover them up with something else to aviod them or just plaining keeping them to yourself.Anyways,I think we have this all taken care of."
"Yeah,I guess."Lilo smiled at her thoughtfully,trying to hide the fact that she still felt a little betrayed by Jennifer.
"Lilo..."Jennifer said uneasiley from behind Nani as she stepped to one side to reveal a very miserable-looking Jennifer,"I'm really sorry for what I said eariler and not being here for you when you probabley needed me most."
"It's okay.I forgive you!"Lilo grinned at her and they exchanged a hug without a second's thought.
"But...what are these things?!!"Jennifer asked her precariously,wide-eyed in wonder at the grinning martians just 7 feet away from her.
"Ailiens from another planet,"Lilo told her like it was no big deal,slipping a reassuring smile at them that thier secret was safe,"Some formerly evil and some not.You get the picture."
"Whooo....hold up!You mean you're blue dog is...a...a?"Jennifer stammered absentmindlessly.
"Exactly!"Lilo laughed and looked down at 628.
"What?Do I have something in my teeth?Staring without reason is one of the most commonest forms of rudest,you know."628 inquired her with a questioning look.
"Oh...just trying to figure out you're one true place."Lilo told him with a sly smile and thought for a minute.
"Stitch have a suggestion."Stitch piped up happiley.
"Yes Stitch?"Lilo asked him,as if she knew what he already had in mind.
She leaned down so he could whisper whatever it was he wanted to whisper in her ear.Grinning she casted an even more sly smile at 628 and nodded approvingly towards Stitch.
"Yep,I think that'll work out just perfectly."
Two months later on galatic federation prison....
"I think you're idea of useing 628 to teach proper mannerism and thoughtfullness is probabley the most logical thing I've ever heard of."The grand councilwomanwas saying over the screne that was transmitting to Earth.
"Heh.Yea,I think it's all pretty much worked out for the best."Lilo told her in response,giggling at the background scene of 628 trying to teach Dr. Hyde how to properly sip tea and fold the napkin after useing it once.
"So what about the Comet corperation experiments?Have you found something useful for them to do as well?"The grand councilwoman asked Lilo with a hint of curiousity.
"You bet.We've assigned them to thier one true place all over the world now!From Rome to Paris to Califorina to New York,they're in the most purposeful place they can be."Lilo smiled and pointed to an entire wall of screnes opposite from her and Stitch(who was right next to her) and indicated that they were all being monitored and checked regularly.
"Interesting...."The grand councilwoman said,intrigued.
"And that's the greatest adventure/ending they're can ever be,right Stitch?"Lilo smiled down at him and winked.
"Eh.Stitch's greatest adventure!"He smiled and winked back up at her but then secretly added,"Until next time,of course!"
The end.
Well,did ya like it?Did ya?Did ya!?Review and put an end to my misery,I may start stories or something about different experiments featured in the story in the furture.Not any time soon,as I am concentrating on a new story now.Bye now!
