I want to make a shout out to some of my reviewers; Ovni, Mystical Raven, and Anonymous but Eager. Thank you for your wonderful reviews. And for those of you, who I didn't give a shout out to, review a little more, and I can work something out! .
Mystical Raven: Thank you for your compliment. Considering I don't get a lot of reviews that means something to me. And your comment on 622 sounding like your 622, I don't know how I should consider that comment . . .
Ovni: When did Lilo fall in chapter 9? Thank you for your compliments as well. Anyway, I was considering making Sassy and Romeo a couple, you enforced the idea! .
Anonymous but Eager: You also enforced my idea. Needless to say they're defiantly going to be a couple. Thank you for your compliments too.
A week had past by. Hardly anyone had seen Stitch at the house. Whenever someone asked him where he was going he would give a weak smile and reply, "Setting up island for buchi bu, for Valentine's Day." Then he would run out the door leaving whoever it was he was just talking to in utter confusion. For only Stitch, Angel, and Romeo knew of the island, let alone its whereabouts.
Angel had very unattractive scabs on her sides where Stitch had cut her. She had to stay in bed because of this, for the scabs would easily break and blood would break loose. Stitch visited her in his spare time, trying to help her in anyway he could. He felt that everything was his fault (even though it wasn't) and wanted to make it up to her. Maria, Lilo and Victoria had fun playing 'nurse' with Angel.
Sassy would stay in her cage often; even though she was now aloud out of it. She helped in the kitchen a lot, feeling that Pleakly was the only one she could talk to. Twice she went into the crying and hugging circle thing. It felt good to have a hug from Spike. Not that she had any feelings for him. It just feels good to her to have a hug when you're feeling down.
Romeo was fully healed and was busy on his own island that he found building a 'feel good' shop. Since he was an experiment and had some help from Richter, Kixx, and Splodey-Head, all they had left to do is paint and put in furniture. Stitch and Angel forgave him, considering a lot of the male population felt the need to have sex with her.
Mertle still wanted Maria to be part of her posse. After each expedition Maria, Lilo and Victoria would be in balls of laughter. They'd make bets over coca-cola over if Mertle would pester them that day or not. It was really quite . . . funny.
At the current moment Lilo, Maria, and Victoria were walking to hula school. Their bags flung over their shoulders carrying their things. They were talking about how Maria's 'dog' was still in bad condition, but was healing, slowly.
" . . . I can't believe it can take THAT long to heal." Victoria continued. Lilo looked down.
"She was cut very deep." She replied. Maria took notice to Lilo's look of uncomfort.
It wasn't Lilo's fault, Lilo was aware of that, but it was her best alien friend's fault which made her feel bad.
She was also glum that Stitch wouldn't give Sassy a chance. If Lilo was talking with him and Sassy entered the room, he would suddenly need to leave and push Sassy out of his way. He would then continue with sniffing the air as if he smelled something revolting and strode out of the room. Sassy would lie on the ground crestfallen with her ears drooped as low as they can get. Because of this, her pride has shattered.
Lilo was never sure if she should give up or not on convincing Stitch that Sassy is good and can be their friend. At the moment, things are looking bleak.
Maria smiled reassuring her friend that Angel and herself were, indeed, not angry with her. Lilo smiled gratefully.
"Well, she is getting better. The not-as-deep cuts are almost skin instead of scabs! And her fur has already grown back in those areas!" Maria exclaimed in happiness. She couldn't wait till Angel could play with her again.
Sure, she enjoyed her new friends a lot, but Angel was her first friend ever. She'd always have a special place in her heart. Angel was like, the older sister she'd never have! So watching her in pain every day in the past week made her drown in sympathy.
"That's great to hear!" Lilo and Victoria said together. They looked at each other and yelled, "Jinx!" The three of them burst into laughter as they skipped (well barely) up the steps.
Almost immediately they met up with the devil herself. Her posse stood behind her with their arms crossed. They were already in their hula outfits.
"I wonder what approach they'll use today." Victoria murmured out of the corner of her mouth. Maria had to bite her lip from laughing. Lilo let out a small smirk. She received a glare from Mertle.
"Maria," Mertle smiled, "you better hurry and get dressed, and otherwise you'll get in trouble."
"You owe me a coke." Maria whispered to Lilo. Mertle cocked her head in confusion.
"I don't owe ANYONE." She replied. Everyone in her posse except Teresa responded with, "Yeah." Teresa put her hands on her hips.
"No. You owe me a pink teddy bear you promised to get me for my birthday because you didn't have a chance to get me one." She said coolly. The rest of the posse gasped. Figuring an ugly conversation was about to break out the trio crept into the changing room to change for their lessons.
Sassy was busy in the kitchen, making brownies for Lilo, Maria, Victoria, and Pleakly. Sassy had an apron on that fell past her long tail. It said 'The Cook' on it. Pleakly had happily let her barrow it. She hummed happily as she poured in some flour. Her fluffy, pink tail wagged as she stirred the ingredients. Her ears were perked and she had a happy smile.
Her back stiffened as she heard the all too familiar footsteps open the door to enter the house. She ducked her head low still stirring, pretending she hadn't heard him.
His long claws clicked on the floor as he walked toward the kitchen. Her sensitive ears could hear his heavy breathing from doing hard work. Her tail was no longer wagging as fear swept over her. She no longer had a crush for this experiment, only fear. Fear that he would hurt her badly.
She couldn't change his feelings toward her anymore. Oh no, Jumba made sure of it. He gave Stitch a liquid of some sort to drink to make him immune. Stitch didn't hesitate to have the foul smelling liquid dissolve on his tongue.
She hummed nervously as she heard him freeze in the doorway. "Hello Sassy." He seethed. She shivered as she poured the ingredients on to a pan to place in the oven. "Who's that for?" he asked suspiciously.
"I-it's for P-Pleakly, Maria, L-Lilo, and V-V-Victoria." She stammered still not facing him as she jumped off the stool she was standing on.
"That better not be poisoned." He growled. She shakily placed the pan in the oven. She turned to him, gathering all wit she had toward him.
"Use your super-computer brain! They are the only living creatures on the same level as me that care about me! Why would I poison them?" she snapped. He raised his finger to say something, but stopped. He growled as he stomped away, figuring the cooking had no poisoning now that he thought about it logically. She slumped against the closed oven in relief.
She punched in the amount of minutes she needed the brownies to be cook before taking her apron off for she didn't need it at the moment. She jumped as unfamiliar steps walked toward the kitchen. 'Oh My! Are there robbers? This is not good not goo-' She interrupted her thoughts as Romeo entered the room.
They had never met so they both were surprised to see the other. "What are you doing here?" she screeched in alarm. He gaped in surprise at her beauty. 'This must have been the other experiment Jumba was talking about.'
"I'm friends with the aliens and humans that live here." He replied.
"You're no friend of mine and I live here." She snorted. She figured he would be like Stitch considering he looked almost identical, even if he was hot!
"Yes, well, we only just met and I'm sure we can be friends." He said holding out his paw. Sassy eyed him suspiciously, but stopped. 'Be nice. Don't act like Stitch toward this guy. He obviously wants to be your friend.' She told herself.
Which was true for, being an experiment that can change feelings for experiments; she can read in their mind like an open book how high their feelings are towards her and others. Even though the information is vague.
She shook his hand in agreement. Once again her back stiffened as she heard Stitch's footsteps coming. She rushed over to the oven as if she was waiting for them to finish all along. Romeo stared at her in confusion.
Stitch walked in, a small look of disapproval on his face as he glanced at Sassy. He smiled turning back to Romeo. "Hello cousin!" he greeted cheerfully. Sassy silently wished he'd greet her in that cheerful tone.
"Hello Stitch." Romeo returned the greeting. "I just met Sassy here." He smiled pointing toward the female experiment. She could feel her cheeks burning red. Not sure why though at the moment. She felt Stitch's cold glare drill through her back.
"Oh." He replied eyeing her with complete loathe. Romeo nodded his head happily. He made a brisk pause as he noticed Stitch's glare at his new friend.
"Gaba?" he asked. Stitch stared at him.
"She's evil." He announced to Romeo. Romeo cocked his head.
"You mean Lilo hasn't made her good yet?" he asked in confusion. He glanced at the sulking Sassy. She sure didn't seem 'evil' to him.
"She'll never be good." Stitch seethed. And with that, he stomped huffily out of the room, out of the house, toward Maria's house, toward Angel.
Sassy burst into tears. Romeo rushed to her side. 'What does Stitch have against her?' he thought.
"What's wrong?" he asked, though he found it pointless to ask, he already knew why.
"Stitch and Angel HATE ME!" she sobbed. He placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sure they don-" he started.
"YES THEY DO! YOU SAW HOW STITCH WAS. HE'S EVEN WORSE! SOMETIMES HE'LL SHOVE ME TO THE GROUND BECAUSE I'M IN HIS WAY TO THE REFRIDERATER!" She cried. She had to resist from burying her face in his chest for she only just met him and that would be impolite.
"Look, I'm sure they're just upset. Over . . . whatever it is you did . . ." He glanced at her questionably, staring into her black, pearly eyes.
"I tried to get Stitch to love me." She whispered. Romeo blinked in shock. That was the exact same thing that happened to him, except it was Angel and they were back to being friends with him after he recovered.
"Well, I . . . err . . . did the same thing . . . except with Angel . . . and they . . . forga-well what did you do wrong?" he asked trying not to go on to the fact that they forgave him.
Sassy closed her eyes shut. Tears streamed down her already wet cheeks. She felt horrible. "I made Stitch hurt Angel. He gave his own buchi bu gashes on her hips, so deep that she still can't get out of bed otherwise the scabs will brake. He also slapped her." She quietly confessed.
Sassy was surprised at what he said next. She was expecting him to hurt her physically. She expected him to yell at her and tell her she should move out. She expected him to declare their friendship over. She expected him to say Stitch was right and that she was, indeed, evil. She expected.
"I understand what you're going through." He whispered soothingly. She made a memo to give him an extra large brownie. "Hey, why don't you come and live with me at my 'feel good' shop?" he offered. Sassy blinked in surprise.
"Really?" she sniffled. He wiped a tear away from her eye.
"Sure! I mean, if you'd rather stay-" he was, once again, interrupted.
"I'd like that a lot!" she exclaimed happily. They locked in a gaze, staring into each other's eyes. The beep of the timer broke the silence.
Sassy shuffled to her feet and slipped on her cooking gloves Pleakly bought her. She carefully opened the oven, pulling out the tray with the brownies. She placed them on a large plate, just barely big enough for all of them to fit on. She quickly pulled out a post-it note and pencil, writing on the post-note 'For Pleakly, Maria, Victoria, and Lilo only.'
She placed the post-it note in the largest crack between each brownie before grabbing the two largest and hurrying out the door after Romeo.
"GANTU!" shouted an annoying voice. Gantu looked up from the newspaper.
"Yes sir?" Gantu asked.
"What happened? One minute the breeding was going fine, the next the idiotic idiots are here to take her away. The next thing I new, a little girl with stupid blonde hair cut all the wires in the communication system. AND I NEVER RECEIVED THE PUP!" Hamsterviel screeched. He paused, getting a good look of Gantu's face. "FOR ALL THIS TIME YOU'VE BEEN FIXING THE COMMUNICATION SCREEN YOU'VE SCRIBBLING ON YOU STUPID HEAD?" he screeched. Gantu figured 625 must have left him a present.
"No sir. You see, the trog took back the other trogs and-" Gantu realized a little too late he had said the wrong thing.
"WHAT? AFTER ALL THAT TIME OF ACTUALLY CATCHING AN EXPERIMENT YOU STUPIDLY LET THEM GET AWAY? YOU ARE SO STUPID I SHOULD COME AND KICK YOUR STUPID, BLUBBERY BUTT!" he screeched jumping up and down in anger. "And where are 625? He at least had a bit of a brain!"
"He . . . err . . . was taken too." Gantu said before starting to cough which sounded a lot like 'busted'.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? YOU IDIOT! DO NOT CALL ME AGAIN UNTIL YOU HAVE CAUGHT ANOTHER EXPERIMENT! DO NOT EXPECT YOUR NEXT PAY UNTIL A FULL MONTH!" he screeched.
"But Sir I-" Gantu pleaded.
"No 'but sirs'!" Hamsterviel cried before his face disappeared on the screen.
Gantu grumbled in annoyance as his stomach growled in hunger. 625 was usually there to feed him. 'Maybe I should be nicer to 625 for now on.' He thought glumly. He was going to capture him and another experiment, just after lunch.
Angel was asleep in her bed as Jumba attended to her wounds. He made a medicine that would quicken the healing process to at least a week. He rubbed the medical lotion on Angel's cuts as she breathed softly in her sleep.
He jumped back as Angel started squealing in agony in her sleep. "Naga," she whispered fretfully. Jumba shook his head in sympathy.
"624 is having another nightmare." He murmured as he went back to rubbing the lotion . . .
Angel was in a room completely white except for Stitch and Sassy. Sassy's eyes glowed red. Stitch turned to Sassy, love for her in his eyes. He tackled Sassy into a hug, stroking her ear.
"Buchi bu!" Angel cried out. Stitch's ear twitched before returning his attention to Sassy. He started to kiss Sassy's neck hungrily.
Angel felt pain in her heart as she watched this. She tried to close her eyes, but couldn't. She tried to run out of the room, but there was no door. She tried to turn her back, but her feet were now stuck to the floor facing HER buchi bu kissing Sassy.
Sassy moaned lustfully as his mouth lowered.
Angel wailed in agony. She couldn't believe what she was watching. Stitch stopped and stared at Angel. Sassy whispered something in his ear and he received an evil grin on his face.
He crept toward the struggling Angel. His eyes were not taken off of her. He had a look on his face that she did not recognize. His claws seemed to sharpen with each step. Her eyes widened in fear.
She squirmed, trying to move, but she couldn't. She gulped as he stepped up to her, only an inch away from her. She tried to slap him as he pierced his claws into her chest. Blood glistened on his now, very long claws.
"I love you." He smirked before kissing her as her blood left her body.
Angel abruptly sat up panting. Sweat beads lay across her forehead. She shook her head calming herself. 'Angel, it was just a dream. A very scary dream, that is all. Stitch would never kill-' she shuddered.
"Is 624 being all right?" Jumba asked. Angel jumped, forgetting Jumba was attending to her wounds.
"Err . . . meega not sure." She replied trying not to think about what she just saw.
"Does experiment 624 wish to be speaking about . . . fear?" he asked. She shook her head 'no'.
Sometimes she'd forget that Jumba had trained her long enough to know when she was angry, nervous, happy, sad, you get the idea. For after all, he IS the reason she can do the things she can do.
She purred in content as Jumba rubbed on another layer of the cool, refreshing lotion on her aching scabs.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed as Stitch entered the room, thinking he was somebody else.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He yelled in surprise.
"I would be appreciating it if experiments would try to contain their yelling so they don't break evil genius's ears." He chuckled as he put his hands over his ears expecting them to scream again. Angel and Stitch burst into laughter once what just happened cycled into their mind.
"Meega soka for scaring buchi bu." Stitch replied blushing. Angel smiled.
"It's okataga." She answered. Stitch climbed on to the bed next to her giving her a more-than-a-peck-less-than-a-passionate-kiss-kiss on her soft cheek.
She felt somewhat odd at the moment and couldn't look him in the eye after her horrid dream. She had the weirdest feeling in her stomach that she had never felt before. She couldn't understand what it was. She stared at him uneasily.
She always did ever since the 'incident'. She was never sure if he was her buchi bu or not. She knew Jumba made an antidote for Sassy's spell, but she still had that creeping feeling in her spine, in her injuries, in her heart.
"Jumba says I'll be fully healed in about a week!" Angel piped up. Stitch's tail wagged enthusiastically. His ears perked the way she loved them to perk. His smile so kind, yet mischievous. His claws-No, those claws.
She couldn't think about his claws like she used to at the moment. Not when they killed her in her dream. Not when they pierced her hips. No, she could not look at his claws.
He looked down shamefully. He caught her expression. She smiled at she eyed him from his smile to his knees. He noticed her expression change into a mixture of pain, sorrow, anger, and loathing.
'This is all that bitch's fault!' he thought bitterly. Stitch gave a mental note to himself to give Sassy an extra hard kick when he got home. He sat on his dreaded claws, not daring to show them to his buchi bu.
"It's ok. I just had a bad . . . dream . . ." she responded quietly. Jumba quietly gathered up his things and left the room.
"Meega making evil experiment pay." Stitch announced proudly. He puffed his chest. Angel raised her eye brow.
"How?" she asked.
"Meega," he continued with a punching gesture. Angel gasped.
She tried to stand up on the bed, but Stitch gently pushed her down. "626," Stitch looked at her. She only called him 626 when she was angry at him. What had he done? "How dare you punch a GIRL!" she shouted as a wife would to her husband. He flinched a bit taken back.
"Meega thought buchi bu hate Sassy." Stitch said in utter confusion.
"I do, but that still gives you no right to hurt her over your anger! Especially since she's weaker than you! You should be ashamed! I know you were trying to avenge for my pain, I appreciate it but, if you plan on doing THAT don't expect a thank you kiss!" she screeched. Stitch placed his hands on his head. 'I was mean to her. I hurt her physically and mentally. I was unfair, but so was she.' He thought. 'It was unfair of her to take advantage of her powers over me as it was unfair of me to take advantage of my strength against her. It's unfair for her to think she is prettier than the female population when she's not. And I'm not just thinking this for Angel's sake. Angel really is prettier than her. She just doesn't see it.'
Stitch hung his head low in shame. He'd have a lot of explaining and apologizing to do.
