The Regenerator and The Fighter

Replies to the reviews:

ReaderPal: Thanks, I had no idea I was such a popular author, at least with you anyway. Your review has inspired me to update this fanfic today, which ordinarily I wasn't planning on doing. Thanks a lot!

Kioko the pirate: Wow, you really didn't know there were Kirby fanfics? That surprises me. Thanks for the review!

This chapter is done in Lilo's POV.

After I left the house, I instantly forgot one important thing. I forgot where the experiment was. I slapped my head in frustration, and started walking towards the beach. I couldn't ask Stitch, because he'd never let me live it down. I could be forgetful at times. I remembered the last time I had asked Stitch about the location of an experiment.

Flashback…

"Umm, where's Puffball?" I asked puzzled. "I forgot again."

Stitch just rolled his eyes and sighed, pointing behind me. So, I looked behind me and there was Puffball already in a capture container. "We already caught her, remember?" Then he rolled over on his stomach and sighed again, then he turned his head a little towards me. "I think you read too much. As soon as you pick up a book, you forget everything else! Sheesh!" After saying that, Stitch grabbed a pillow and started hitting me with it. A pillow fight broke out, but unluckily Nani had to choose that exact moment to come in the room, and needless to say, we both got grounded for a week.

End Flashback…

A rustling in the bush snapped me out of my daydream.

"W-who's there?" I called out nervously, as it was getting dark.

"It's just me." A rugged voice called out as Demo came out of the bushes. "Where are you off to?" Demo asked, his face showing concern.

Maybe I should explain about Demo. His pod had been activated 3 days ago, and it was just yesterday that Stitch had defeated him in battle and Demo had turned good. No one was more surprised at Demo turning good than Jumba, since he had thought that it was impossible to turn Demo good.

"I'm off to catch experiment 385." I said matter-of-factly.

"Mind if I come along? I'm a little bit afraid of the dark." Demo said sheepishly.

"Sure you can come. I must admit I'm also a little bit afraid of the dark too.

I could tell the real reason that he wanted to come was that he had a slight crush on me. He had admitted it after the fight. In fact, he admitted to having a slight crush on me ever since we met. As for me, I still didn't like him that much, although I didn't dislike him either. I had just recently gotten over my crush on Keoni. I wasn't sure who I was in love with. Although I did get a strange feeling inside me whenever Stitch and I were together, but could it be love? Maybe, maybe not. I just wasn't sure yet.

Another rustling in the bushes broke me out of my thoughts, and out walked another cousin. It was one of my favorites. It was Clip.

"You definitely need a haircut, Lilo!" Clip said closing her eyes and smiling a mischievous smile.

"You always say that, Clip!" I said laughing, remembering all the practical jokes Clip and I have played since her activation 5 years ago, such as shaving Stitch bald while he was sleeping, and making a statue of liberty out of Nani's hair. (It was still on her head at the time.) Although my favorite would have to be the time Clip and I filled Nani's hair drier with itching powder.

Yet another rustling in the bushes disturbed my thoughts again. If I had known that thinking near bushes would attract so many experiments, I would have done it five years ago, then we could have captured them all by now.

This time, however, experiment 385 came out of the bushes!

"Ha! I've got you now!" I shrieked as I leaped at 385, but he was too quick for me as he darted up a tree. He must have been expecting us. That was the only explanation.

"I'll get him!" Clip said with a smug grin as she leaped up in the tree and scrambled up there twice as fast as 385 had done. A few minutes later, she came down with something in her claws. "Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked Demo with a look of bewilderment on her face.

"B-b-b-beehive!" Demo choked out in fear.

Clip took a closer look at what was in her claws. "Agggghhhhh!" she screamed and threw the object, but the object which happened to be a giant beehive didn't go very far as a tree was in the way. Needless to say we were chased by angry bees all the way back to my house. Clip had gotten stung three times, Demo got stung once, while I had the unfortunate luck to be stung nine times, and the experiment was still out there! Stitch was also back with three other experiments.

"Stitch, did you catch 386?" I asked. "I couldn't catch 385." Then I told him everything that had happened to me.

"First, let me tell you my story, it's a good one!" Stitch said smiling, in that smile I like so much.

Next chapter is Stitch's story of his adventure trying to catch experiment 386! I will probably update tomorrow. Definitely if I get reviews from two of my favorite readers.
