Chapter 3 is here! Sorry but the enemies attack next chapter. This should have been part of chapter 2, but the idea came late so I had to make a new chapter. I'm going to try to put some romance in this chapter. Just so you know I suck at romance, but I hope to do pretty good. Now to the reviewers!

Princess Pac: Lilo and everybody are their normal age in this story, but as I advance in my series, all characters will grow continuously in age.

Dragonfanman: I'll try to answer your dimensional portal question personally via email as soon as I get the chance.

Yaarp16: This chapter will briefly deal with Lilo and Stitch's romantic feelings about each other. They and some other characters will see a view of the future in the form of a dream.

Now chapter 3

Chapter 3

Lilo and Stitch's thoughts

While it seemed to Andre that Lilo and Stitch were asleep, they were actually wide awake. They were thinking about what he said about them liking each other.

Lilo's POV

"I wonder why Andre asked that question. I like Stitch yeah, but I don't think that we like each other in that kind of way; were just the best of friends."

But then she remembered what she went through with Stitch. After she taught him how to be good, he had saved her many times. One from being taken away by Gantu, another time he saved her from being transported to a distant part of the galaxy. While they were hunting experiments, he also protected her. She recalled when they were going after Richter, and she almost fell with the buggy into a deep crevice. That crevice would have easily been her grave if it weren't for Stitch. Yet another incident was when they were making a false negotiation with Gantu for the experiment Yaarp. When Gantu discovered that they were bluffing he shot a plasma blast at Lilo, but Stitch saved her yet again by jumping in the middle, and since he is indestructible it didn't hurt him at all.

"So all those times that Stitch saved me was because he was in love with me?" Lilo asked herself in her thoughts. It seemed pretty logical. While she was thinking this she discovered something else. She always had a strange feeling whenever he was around.

"Could this feeling be love?" Lilo asked.

Stitch's POV

"Do I like Lilo? As a friend yes, but more I don't know. Besides why would she want me, I'm not even her own species."

Then he started reflecting on his rather short life. It is true that if it weren't for Lilo he would still be evil and causing destruction. She did him a great favor by making him good, and then he discovered the true joys in life, like friendship and family. She also stood by his side while they captured his other cousins, no matter how dangerous it was for her. She always spoke for him and took care of him in any way she could. He admitted that even by giving him a dreaded bath she showed that she cared for him.

"So Lilo has done all of this for me because she loves me?" Stitch asked himself. "Maybe." Then he remembered how jealous he used to get when Lilo was crushing on Keoni. This now took him by surprise.

"So I was jealous because I was in love?" Stitch asked himself.

Normal POV

Lilo and Stitch opened their eyes simultaneously and their views locked with each other. They remember what Victoria had said when they were accidentally transported to Alaska two months ago. It was something about being afraid of their love. (Read "Victoria means Victory" for more details.) They looked at each other for several seconds. Stitch was the first to speak.

"Lilo, do you think we like each other in a way more than friends?" Stitch asked.

Lilo thought about is for a few seconds and finally said: "Yes, I do."

"What should we do about it?" Stitch asked.

"Let's take it slow, and live life, like Andre said. We already know that we love each other." Lilo suggested.

"Okay, good night, my little angel." Stitch said.

"Good night, my indestructible prince." Lilo answered.

In five minutes they fell into deep, peaceful slumber. Meanwhile Victoria, in her house, just woke up from what appeared to be a nightmare; she was in a cold sweat. She turned to her bat-like experiment pet to see that he too was awake, apparently by the same nightmare because he looked disturbed. They both knew what the dream meant.

"Snooty, the Defender is here, but so is the evil. We will have to fight tomorrow, I just know it." Victoria said in a serious tone.

End of Chapter 3

Please don't hurt me for doing bad romance! Only Andre and Victoria are available for fighting for most of this story, but don't worry, the others will get their abilities, they just might not be able to use them for fighting until the next story of the series. Don't let this stop you from reading though. If you continue reading, there will be a plot twist deep in this story that might surprise you, but I'm not telling yet!
