Well, here's chapter four. It took me a lot of time and trouble to get my ideas set. Enjoy.

Chapter 4

Myrtle's Confession and Recovery

Location: Great Fox infirmary

Time: 9:45 p.m. earth time. Fifteen minutes after lights out.

Lilo and Myrtle were talking softly about things that had happened in the past. (During the series)

Hey Lilo, do you remember when your experiment friend Spike gave me a hug? Myrtle asked. During that, he accidentally stung me and then I started acting like: (makes a goofy face) Blah, Blah, Blaaaah, Blah.

Lilo covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing.

Man that was funny, even though it happened to me. Myrtle recalled.

Lilo suddenly changed the subject. Myrtle, she asked. What ever happened to your other friends.

What other friends? Myrtle said trying to dodge the subject.

You now what I'm talking about. Lilo said.

Oh, you mean them. Myrtle's tone of voice suddenly became depressive.

A total of fifteen seconds had passed before Myrtle got the courage to speak.

Lilo, I have a confession to make. Myrtle started. Those girls were not my friends.

What? Lilo asked confused. But you always were with them.

I just used them to make fun of you for being so weird.

Why? Lilo asked.

Myrtle took a deep breath before continuing. In order to answer that I have to make another confession.

Go on. Lilo said while trying to be careful with her words.

Myrtle starts explaining. Five Percent of the total human population is special. Special in the way that they have enhanced brain functions.

Meaning… Lilo said, not knowing where this was going.

They have psychic abilities.

And this relates to you, how? Lilo asked not getting the point.

It relates to me because I am part of that five percent.

YOUR PSYCHIC? Lilo asked and almost shouted.

Well, not exactly. Myrtle replied. You could tell she didn't like talking about the subject.

Then, what? Lilo asked.

My main problem was that I had the psychic gene in my DNA but it was dormant and could never be activated.

Lilo was stunned but motioned her to continue.

That was the main reason I made fun of you when we were kids. It was because I was sad and frustrated because I couldn't be psychic. But when I discovered that being sad and frustrated would not do anything I decided to live with it.

But what I don't understand is what does this have to do with your former friends. Lilo asked.

Well, Myrtle continued. When they discovered that I was just using them. They got mad and planned to get back at me. And when they did it was bad.

How bad? Lilo asked.

Myrtle was starting to cry but forced herself to keep on with the story.

Total public humiliation bad. Myrtle said, tears now streaming down her cheeks, she had to remove her glasses to prevent them from getting fogged.

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that. Lilo said with compassion in her voice.

It doesn't end there, Myrtle continued. After that I tried to apologize for my ways but whenever I get close to them they just leave and ignore me. Myrtle is now sobbing. It's been like that for three years. I have never felt as alone as I felt during those years.

Oh, Myrtle I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Lilo said, her eyes were also swelling up with tears.

But, Myrtle motioned her not to cry. That was before you saved my life and accepted me as a friend even tough I treated you like dirt in our childhood. I have one question to ask you, though?

Spill. Lilo said.

Would you ever forgive me? Myrtle asked, the sheer hope of a positive answer showed in her eyes just before she put her glasses on again.

Myrtle, I forgave you and I forgive you. Lilo said with angelic compassion.

Oh, Lilo this makes me feel… Myrtle suddenly stops talking and closes her eyes.

Lilo was wondering what she was doing when she felt a feeling of: happiness, sheer, beautiful, happiness. That's when Lilo discovered.

Myrtle! Lilo exclaimed. Your psychic powers…you have them!

Yeah, I discovered it just today. Myrtle responded.

But, how? Lilo asked

You remember the tank that exploded gas in my face? Myrtle explained. The gas that Peppy said was supposed to kill me?

Lilo nodded.

That gas activated my psychic gene. Myrtle said with a smile on her face.

Oh, Myrtle, I'm so happy for you. Lilo said while hugging her.

Thank you, Lilo. Myrtle said. Thank you for being my friend. Now I feel emotionally recovered. I just wish I could tell the girls how sorry I am.

Tell you what, Lilo suggested. After we finish this mission, well go back home and you can try again, but unlike the other times I'll back you up all the way.

Good idea Lilo, thank you. Myrtle said relieved.

Now you should get some sleep, Myrtle. Lilo said. Even though you recovered emotionally, you still need to recover physically.

Your right, good night Lilo. Myrtle said as she lay on her hospital bed.

Good night, Myrtle. Lilo said as she sat on the chair beside Myrtle's bed. Don't worry I'll be right here all night.

In less than five minutes Myrtle and Lilo were fast asleep, joining each other in friendship in the dream world.

How did you like it? Please R&R. To all you Lilo and stitch fans, I need your help.

I know the names of Myrtle's friends but I never found out which name belonged to who. Is Elena the blond haired girl? Is Teresa the girl that has the black curly hair? Is Yuki the girl that has straight black hair and looks a little Japanese? Please help me with this and I will be very grateful. See everybody later!
