Apologies

Chapter 2: Preparations
"Ok… the first thing we need is a dance floor. Cause there's nothing more beautiful then a slow dance on a beach at sunset." Said Kioko as he looked at the sandy beach.
"That's perfect. But first we need a frame for it." Stitch stood there for a moment looking around. He suddenly snapped his fingers and ran towards a palm tree.
Stitch leapt into the air and in a flash he slashed the top of the tree off. He landed and quickly slashed at the bottom of its trunk. The large mass of wood fell into Stitch's paws. Stitch turns and faces Kioko, the two of them nodded, understanding the unspoken message. Stitch throws the tree like a spear at Kioko, Kioko raises he fist and at the last moment sends it slamming into the end of the tree. The trunk splits into four separate pieces, the pieces land in a perfect square on the sand.
Kioko raises his hand towards the square, a small blast of energy shoots from his palm. It hits in the center of the square causing a flash of light. The light soon faded revealing a shiny smooth floor. Stitch walked over to it and was about to step on it.
"I wouldn't do that yet if I were…" warned Kioko as he watched Stitch place his foot on the dance floor. Stitch's eyes shot open when he felt the extremely hot surface. The blue experiment shot into the air with a yell. Kioko gave a sigh as he rubbed his forehead. "It's still too hot Stitch; it won't be cooled off until later."
"Sure now you tell me!" growled Stitch as he held his burnt foot.
"Ok, we have a dance floor. Now we need to gather the table, chairs and some fine china." Said Kioko.
"The chairs and table I can handle, but we don't have any fine china. Not after my little incident a few years ago." Said Stitch in an embarrassed tone.
"Don't remind me. You just get the table and chairs; I'll take care of the china."
Stitch nodded and the two of them ran into the woods. A few minutes Later Kioko had reached the center of town. He walked down the main street, looking at each store carefully.
"Now I know there's a china shop around here somewhere." Said Kioko as he turned a corner. His eyes suddenly catch a sign hanging in front of a store across the street that read 'Fine China and coffee'. "Bingo." Said Kioko as he ran across the street.
He reached the front door and pulled on the handle, but the door did not budge. Kioko gave an irritated growl as he continued to pull on the doors. He suddenly noticed another sign on the door, it was a closed sign.
Kioko gave another frustrated growl. "How can they be closed so early in the day?" Kioko turned around and leaned back against the door. "There's just got to be some way to get some China." Kioko stood there for a moment before he suddenly snapped his fingers and a fiendish grin formed on his face. He turned back towards the door and looked in and around the dark store.
He spots a small device on the wall facing the door; it looked like a small box. "A silent alarm huh? No problem." Said Kioko as he took a step back. He looked around for a moment before leaping up to the roof of the building. He walks over to an air vent and rips it open. "I haven't done this in years, lets see if I still have the talent for it." Said Kioko as he jumped down into the vent. A few moments later he drops down from the ceiling and into the back room of the store.
He stood up and slowly made his way towards the front of the store. Sneaking along the walls to avoid the numerous security cameras, he finally makes it to the china section of the store. He begins to make his way through the aisles of fine china, looking carefully at all his choices. He finally finds a set that was sitting in a glass case; the price tag read 2000.00 dollars.
"It's perfect… to bad I only have 1000.00 on me right now. I guess I'll just have to do this the old fashioned way." Said Kioko with an evil smirk.
Kioko focused a little energy at the tip of his index finger. He fired the small amount of energy at the lock on the case, melting it instantly. He carefully opens the glass door on the case and quickly grabs the china.
"Yes, these will do nicely." Said Kioko as he examined the fine porcelain plates.
Kioko slipped the wares into his coat and as quickly as he entered he left the store with little sign that he was ever there. He now stood in front of the store, acting like nothing happened. He gave a sigh of satisfaction; it felt refreshing to do a little evil here and there.
"Ok, I've got the china. But I feel as though there is something else that is needed… but what?" Said Kioko as he tapped his chin with his finger. "Ah ha, I know what they need!" cheered Kioko as he turned and ran down the street.
A little while later, back at the beach, Stitch was setting up the table and chairs next to the still hot dance floor. He sat down in one of the chairs and gave a frustrated sigh. "Where's Kioko, he was supposed to be back minutes ago?" growled Stitch.
"Stop whining, I'm here and I got the china." Said Kioko as he walked up to the table. "I see you've gotten everything set up." Said Kioko as he laid the china out on the table.
"Yeah, no help from you of course. That's some really nice looking china, where did you get it? From your house?"
"Of course not, I have no need for china." Said Kioko as he set two candle holders in the center of the table.
Stitch got a confused look on his face. "Then where did you get it from?"
"I stole it." Said Kioko casually.
Stitch's eyes shot open. "You stole it, why?"
Kioko shrugged. "What can I say, old habits die hard. Oh I almost forgot I got you two a little something extra. I'm sure you'll like it." Said Kioko as he pulled a brown paper bag out from his coat pocket.
"What is it?" asked Stitch as he watched Kioko reach into the bag.
"It's a nice bottle of 1000.00 wine. And a fine year I might add." Said Kioko as he set the bottle down on the table.
"You spent 1000.00 on a bottle of wine for us? But Kioko, I don't even know if me and Angel can drink wine." Said Stitch.
"Hey, price does not matter when it comes to making a romantic night special. And I'm sure you and her can handle a little wine."
"I guess we could have a little." Said Stitch.
"I'm sure you can, now did you get the music you want?" asked Kioko.
Stitch nodded. "Yep, I found the perfect CD in Nani's collection. I remembered hearing this played one night when Nani and David were on a date, and so I thought it would be just the thing to use." Said Stitch as he pulled the CD from out of no where.
"Good, now do you know how you want things to go?"
"Well, I was thinking that we'd start off with a little dinner, and then we'd move onto a nice slow dance. And then finish up the night with a quiet stroll along the beach." Explained Stitch as he began to get starry eyed at the beautiful thoughts.
Kioko thought about this for a moment. "Sounds good, now do you know all the things you're going to do at dinner?"
Stitch gave him a weird look. "What do you mean?"
"Well, your table manners still aren't as good as they could be. And I know Angel is always… nagging you to work on them, so why not impress her by being on your best manners."
"You know that's a good idea, it would almost be like a little present. I'll defiantly stay on my best behavior." Said Stitch happily.
Kioko shook his head disapprovingly. "Now it's one thing to say you'll be on your best behavior, but you need to make sure ahead of time that you will be."
Stitch raised an eyebrow and cocked his head to the side. "Huh?"
"Let's do a little role playing, just to make sure you know what to do."
"Role playing, what do you mean role playing?"
"We'll pretend that you're at dinner. I'll pretend to be Angel so that you can have a little focus."
"Well then who am I being?" asked Stitch
Kioko gave him a dumb founded look. "You're Stitch."
"Ok, I guess this could work." Said Stitch in an uncertain voice.
"Ok, let's start." Kioko sits down in the chair across form Stitch. "Now remember, I'm Angel and your Stitch. Just do what you would do at this dinner." Instructed Kioko.
"Ok, let's do this." Said Stitch in a strong voice.
Kioko nodded and the two of them picked up the silver ware and pretended to eat. "This is really nice Stitch, I'm so glad we could do this." Said Kioko in the most feminine voice as he could.
"Yeah… it is really…nice" said Stitch weakly as he found it hard to pretend Kioko was Angel.
There was another long pause as the two of them continued to pretend to eat. At one point Stitch tried to reach across the table to grab the salt. But Kioko stabbed his paw with his fork, almost hard enough to draw blood. There was another long moment of silence, after a few minutes Kioko was pleased with Stitch's manners and they stopped.
"Ok, well it looks like you've defiantly got the manners thing down." Said Kioko with a satisfied smile.
"Yeah, I guess I do. So I'm guessing were ready to go for the dinner tonight?"
Kioko shook his head. "No, not yet. There's one last thing that we need to cover."
"And what would that be?"
"I know that because of the reason you're doing this, the subject of what happened back there at Pantucka's will come up. And I just want to make sure you two don't start a whole new argument."
"Trust me Kioko; we won't start a new argument."
"Still, it helps to be prepared. Now lets roll play the conversation. Once again I'll be Angel, and you be… yourself. Ok, let's begin."
"Ok." Said Stitch in an uncomfortable tone.
There was a short pause before Kioko said anything. "I know why you did this Stitch and I just want to tell you that this wasn't necessary." Said Kioko again in his most feminine voice. There was a moment of silence and Stitch did not say anything. "Well, say something you idiot." Growled Kioko in his regular voice.
Stitch nodded and then took a big gulp. "This was necessary… my… my dear, I wanted to make up for what happened back at Pantucka's tower. And besides… it was about time for us to have a little romantic get away." Said Stitch as he finally started to feel comfortable with this role playing.
"It doesn't matter anymore, that incident is in the past now. We can move on with our lives." Said Kioko as he leaned forward on the table and tried his best to mimic Angel's heavenly smile. Which he did pretty well, surprisingly.
"And I'm really looking foreword to the rest of our lives together." Said Stitch as he leaned forward.
Before anyone could react Stitch suddenly planted his lips onto Kioko's. The pirates eyes shot open and he quickly leapt backwards, all while yelling in utter disgust.
He spit a couple times and frantically wiped his lips with the back of his hand. He glared over at Stitch, who was also realizing what he had just done.
"What the HELL was that?" yelled Kioko angrily.
"Well you said we were practicing." Said Stitch as he blushed brightly and got a sick feeling in his stomach.
"Not the kiss man. Oh that was so nasty." Growls Kioko as he begins to lick the sand. "I feel like I'm going to lose every lunch I have ever eaten."
"I'm sorry… I just really got into the moment." Defended Stitch.
"I don't care if you got into the moment! If you ever do that again… no if you ever think about doing that again I will rip those lips right off your face and shove them down your throat!" said Kioko as he now gargled some sea water.
"Oh god I've been freakin violated!" yells Kioko as Stitch gives a sigh.
After awhile they had managed to get everything picture perfect for the dinner. Despite Kioko always glaring at Stitch. They had set up a beautiful table, dance floor and a few other things that would help set the mood. It was getting close to sunset now and Stitch and Kioko were admiring their work.
"This looks perfect. Angel is simply going to love this." Said Stitch.
"She better love this, after all we went through to set it up." Growled Kioko.
"She'll love it don't worry."
"Yeah, but I feel as though there is still something missing." Said Kioko as he looked at the setting.
Suddenly two little midgets run out from the bushes screaming and hollering. One was dressed as a little pirate, with a red sash around his waist and an eye patch over his left eye. The other was dressed as a grey big headed alien and was carrying a little toy pistol. The two little midgets ran in front of Kioko and Stitch and pretended to shoot them. The midgets then turned and ran towards the ocean. They disappeared into mid air as a giant wave crashed down on them.
Kioko and Stitch just stare at the wave for a moment. "What the fuck?" yelled Kioko.
Well that's the end of the second chapter. Sorry it took me so long to update, this was rather tricky to write. Anyway, I'll have the next and final chapter up soon. Also if you could take a look at my friend Keon's stories, he'd really appreciate it. I'm sure you guys would enjoy them. Anyway I'll see you guys later.
