Wow, 3 reviews on da last chpt already! Thanks! I'm glad that you all like it! Anyway, here's chpt 5! Enjoy!
Gantu's revenge
"Nani, I don't think you should-"Nani kneeled down beside them, so she was level with Stitch's face.
He whimpered again.
"I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. I have missed you."
Stitch stared at her. He looked up to Lilo, and then looked back to Nani.
Nani reached out her hand, and Stitch jerked himself back.
"Please…?"
Stitch relaxed and let Nani pet him, though he was still shivering slightly.
"…Oh….okeytaka. Stitch accept."
"Thanks. I didn't really mean it."
Nani reached out her hands, and Lilo started to put Stitch into them, but Stitch clung to her shirt.
"Oh…Stitch…please? She's not gonna hurt you anymore."
Stitch sighed, and let himself into Nani's arms. She could feel him shivering. His body was tense, but loosened when she petted him.
"There..it's ok. I'm never going to hurt you again. I promise."
"Cachi nostee?"
"Yes. I'm sure."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Gantu sighed, and sat down on his chair.
"What's up, G-man? Wanna tuna on rye?"
"No."
"You've got that 'I've had my butt kicked for the hundredth time by a little Earth tyke and loose space koala' look!"
625 jumped onto his chair across from Gantu.
"Well?"
"You know what!"
"You're not still moaning about my do-gooder cousin, are you?"
"626 has ruined my life! That little gerbil had me fired for REAL four years ago, remember? He has ruined my reputation, career and so many other things! He captured all of the experiments, even the ones which had been transported to Hamsterveil, and no matter how hard I tried, he still outsmarted me! Well, everything's about to change, 625."
"What are you talking about?"
"For years that little trog has made me miserable, made me out to be a failure. I am not letting him get away with it! I swear! I will have revenge!"
"First, you gotta find him."
"I will find him, 625. And this time, he will NOT outsmart me!"
Gantu slammed his fist down on the control panel.
"626, YOU WILL PAY!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"How many times are you needing to be cleaning kitchen counter?"
Jumba sighed and sunk down on the futon.
"You know very well that you're not supposed to leave food lying around! Ants are the last thing that we need at the moment!"
Jumba sighed. He looked around the home he shared with his neat-freak friend, Pleakley.
"Ahh…am missing 223. Was designed to be personal vacuum. Very handy around lab."
"What happened to it?"
"I am having no idea."
"Didn't Lilo and Stitch repurpose all of the experiments?"
Jumba flinched at hearing Stitch's name. He sighed again.
"Ahh….yes, is correct. Am missing 626 very much."
"I know you do. But don't worry, you will see him again."
"Am not even knowing if he is still living!"
"What about the tracking device?"
'Ahh….is being no point. Still will not lock onto DNA. If 158 (Finder) could not track, nothing will."
Jumba looked down. Pleakley did his best to cheer up his friend.
"Don't worry. The little monster can't be thatfar."
"Am not knowing."
Pleakley sighed. It would take a miracle to find the rest of their long lost ohana. But Pleakley knew there was always hope, no matter what happened.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"I better go then."
"Sure."
" Stitch?"
"Ih, Nani?"
Stitch's fear of Nani still lingered, but was slowly wearing off. He looked up at her from the floor.
"Would you like to meet my two children? I'm sure David will be happy with the news that you've returned. I still can't believe that you saved Michael!"
"Um….okeytaka."
"I just hope the same thing doesn't happen again."
Lilo sighed. "Jumba was different."
"Yes, well, I'll see you later in the week. Goodbye Stitch."
"Bye."
"See-ya Nani."
"Bye kiddo."
Lilo closed the door, and soon she could hear Nani's car pulling out of the driveway. She looked down, only to notice Stitch in tears.
"Oh, oh oh oh oh….what's wrong?"
She scooped him up.
"Miss…J..Jumba."
"I do to. But don't worry, we'll find them. I'm sure of it. Come on."
Lilo went into the lounge room and turned back on the TV, which she had turned off when Nani arrived. She sat down with Stitch in her lap. She pulled out a hanky and wiped away his tears.
He looked up at her.
"L..Lilo?"
"Yes?"
"What happened to Mertle?"
"Mertle? Oh her."
"Ih."
"I'm not sure. She still gave me a tough time at school, even when she found out that you had left. I only made one friend through school, and that was Becky. She always reminded me of you. She was always full of energy and liked coconut cake and coffee. I told her about you, and she was the only one who understood how I felt. I also told her the truth about you, but she kept her promise to me, keeping it a secret. I miss her, but we do still keep in contact."
"How meet Michael?"
"I met him when I was eighteen. I met him...kind of through Mertle."
"Oh." Stitch's thought's suddenly lingered back to Angel.
"I only told him about my childhood recently. He had always wondered about the picture of you on my dresser."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"When you found him, he was looking for you."
"Nota."
"You do?"
"Ih. Told meega."
"Ok. Anyway, let's see whats on…"
She picked up the TV guide and started flipping through it.
"How bout this, 'Earth vs the Spider."
"Ih!"
Stitch relaxed in Lilo's lap again, and purred as she petted him. But, at nearly the same time, Gantu was starting his search for him.
'626, will pay,' he thought. 'This time for sure.'
Gantu laughed to himself evilly.
