Angel and Stitch reached the forest just as it got dark. They decided to go into the forest and look for a place to sleep. They soon found a cave and walked in.
"But what if something lives in here?" Angel asked with a worried tone.
"Don't worry! I'll protect you!" Stitch reassured her.
Angel figured he was right, and laid down to try and get some sleep. Stitch curled up right next to her. Angel couldn't help but smile as she drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, Deli had reached the river and swum across, soaking his fur. It was getting dark, but he knew he had to go on, for he wanted to reach the two before it was too late. Deli walked until he made it to the forest, and collapsed on the ground, sound asleep.
The next morning, Stitch woke up to the sound of Angel screaming. He jolted awake and rushed to her side, finding a snake had bitten her on her leg. Thinking quickly, Stitch grabbed her leg and started sucking all the poison out. When he was done, he gently set her leg down.
"Are you ok?" he asked with concern.
Angel nodded and said, "Yeah, but I don't think I'll be able to fly today. And I won't be able to hang onto you because I'll wreck your flight pattern.
Oh, yeah. We're suppose to be able to fly today, Stitch though. "That's ok," he said calmly. "We can walk."
Angel smiled as Stitch helped her up, and she leaned on him so she could walk. Both slowly start outside into the forest.
Deli had also woken up, and he had heard Angel scream. "Angel!" he cried. "You better not have done anything to her, Stitch," he mumbled to himself, then sprinted off into the forest.
With Angel and Stitch walking slowly, and Deli running, they all reached the end of the forest… at the same time! When they realized this they stopped dead in their tracks. Stitch and Deli faced each other and growled deeply.
"What are you doing here?" Stitch demanded.
"I'm here to get Angel back," Deli growled.
"Not a chance!"
Stitch got in a fighting stance, as so did Deli. Stitch ran up to Deli, and before he had time to react, he picked him up and threw him to the ground. In return, Deli jumped onto Stitch and bit his arm, hard. He then head-buts Stitch, causing him to fall to the ground. While this was all happening, Angel was watching helplessly from the side-lines.
Stitch gets up and bodyslams slams Deli into the ground. Deli groaned, but got back up and started running towards Stitch, who jumped out of the way, causing Deli to smash into a tree. Stitch climbed up the tree, then jumped down with claws open, colliding into Deli.
"Angel's mine!" Stitch exclaimed as he growled menacingly.
Angel had finally had enough! She ran in between the two to stop them from fighting, crying out,
"Naga!"
Stitch and Deli stopped dead in their tracks and turned to Angel, eager to see what she had to say.
"Guys, stop fighting over me! I'm not a trophy!" Angel continued. "Stop acting like you own me. If you do, neither of you will win my affection… or friendship. There's no need for this type of attitude. Let's just all be friends, and I'll chose one of you when the time is right. What do you say?"
The two males grumbled, but gave in, "Ok."
Angel smiled sweetly, saying, "Ok, then. Let's continue our journey!"
Stitch and Deli nodded, and followed Angel as they headed towards the mountain. Both weren't sure what was going to happen, but both were sure Angel would choose them. They caught up with Angel and continued on their way.
A/N: Sorry it's so short! I hope it's still good.
