Shauni stood on the elevator pod and entered Lilo and Stitch's room. Lilo turned around holding up a pink muumuu. "Shauni do you think I should wear this? I have others like this in other colors."

Shauni shrugged. "Do you have a light blue one?"

Lilo looked up at the ceiling, nodded her head and opened her dresser. "Are you going to the festival? There'll be other experiments there too you know."

Shauni shrugged. "Maybe…"

Lilo turned around with a light blue muumuu and draped it across herself. Lilo reached over onto her dresser and picked up a flower and placed it in her hair. "How's this?"

Shauni looked at the flower. "It's nice." The flower was white with the inside of the flower looking like red ink had splashed onto it.

Lilo reached over onto the dresser and picked up another flower and placed it above Shauni's ear and held a hand mirror up to her. "White goes well with any color. But it looks really nice with your green fur."

Shauni looked at the mirror and then at the flower on her ear and smiled. "Thanks."

Later that day everyone piled into the dune buggy and drove to the hula class room. Moses had just finished placing all of the food on the buffet table when they pulled into the drive way. "Aloha Lilo. Most of your friends are here already." Moses looked at Stitch, Angel and Shauni. "Ah! Lilo. You brought your dogs? Didn't you only have one of them? No more accidents this time. I don't want your dogs making a mess of the food."

"Don't worry. They'll be fine. I PROMISE." Lilo walked up the steps, looked into the door and gasped. "Kioni!" She rushed into the building and disappeared into the crowd of people.

Shauni followed Angel and Stitch from a distance and watched them as they entered and instantly began to get closer to each other as if something in the air in the room had control over them and the others in the room. She looked around at everyone in the room. Everyone had someone, except for her. She walked out onto the porch and stood behind the railing and looked at all of the tiki torches leading up to the school house casting there glow on the ground. She sighed.

A small red paw slowly reached down towards the flower in Shauni's ear and quickly snatched it away disappearing above. Shauni looked around as if she felt something. She reached up towards her ear looking for the flower.

"Bizarre isn't it?" Shauni looked up towards the voice. A pair of yellow eyes appeared in the rafters. "Saint Valentines day…" Kyle jumped down from the rafters and onto the deck with barely a sound. "Saints were people back in the day who performed three miracles and were recognized by the catholic church."

Shauni cocked her head to the side. "What were his three miracles?"

"Torturing human beings and dropping puppies off towers in his castle." Kyle looked back into the school house. "All of those poor bastards… celebrating a day of love named after a heartless killer. They only further prove my point as to how ignorant humans are."

"Weren't you human once?"

Kyle looked back at Shauni. "I may have looked like one but I wasn't one of them. Even then I WISHED I could sever my ties with the human race." He opened his paw revealing the flower he took from Shauni's hair. "It's nice." He reached above Shauni's ear and placed the flower back where it had been. "I was gonna eat it but I thought it might be poisonous." He looked back at the people in the room. "Don't wanna be IGNORANT and just impulsively eat it because it looks nice." He turned around and walked down the stairs.

Shauni walked to the edge of the stairs. "Where are you going?"

Kyle stopped. "Somewhere…"

"Can I come?"

Kyle walked off. "I'm not gonna stop you."

Shauni jumped down the stairs and next to Kyle and followed him.

Shauni and Kyle walked along the road listening to all of the sounds of the night. Crickets, birds, leaves rustling. Shauni looked at Kyle. "Why did you hate humans? Weren't you parents humans?"

Kyle kicked a piece of asphalt across the road. "I hated my mom. She was the epitome of ignorance. She would impulsively jump at the first thing you said without hearing the rest of the sentence. And then she'd wave her college degree in your face saying that it MEANT she was right. She's educated beyond her intelligence if you as me." Kyle kicked the piece of asphalt hard sending it towards a fire hydrant bouncing off and out into the woods. "My dad though… he'd try to understand what you were saying. He was the complete opposite of my mom." Kyle stopped and looked at the ground. "I used to think that I got all of my "being able to pay attention" and stuff from him… I don't even share a single thread of DNA with him…"

Shauni reached out to put a hand on his shoulder but he shrugged her hand off and kept walking. Shauni followed behind him. Kyle turned into the woods and disappeared. "Wait for me!" She ran to the woods and pulled the brush away from her path and surprisingly found sand.

Kyle grabbed a bunch of the plant. "Dune grass… only grows near beaches." He let go of the plant and walked onto the sand, stood on the beach and looked at the ocean for a while.

Shauni walked up next to him. Kyle sat down on the sand and closed his eyes. "The sound of the ocean… different each time a wave crashes on the shore… but still has a rhythm…" Shauni sat down and listened to the ocean and then looked at Kyle. He was gently swaying his shoulders to the sound of the ocean.

Shauni remembered the word she found in the dictionary. "Hey!" Kyle jerked out of his swaying and looked at Shauni. "You named me so I want to name you."

"Oh great… it's not something dumb like 'KILLER' or 'SPIKE'"

Shauni moved her face so it was right in front of Kyle's "kah-mah-kah-zee"

Kyle cocked his head. "Kamikaze?"

Shauni nodded. "Yeah. This book said it was someone who commits suicide to destroy a building or somthin."

Kyle looked back at the ocean. "Yeah. Kamikazes. There were Japanese pilots. Mainly noted for there attack on pearl harbor. It's a naval base not to far from here actually."

Shauni looked over Kyle's fur and picked a few twigs out of it. Kyle watched her as she cleaned him. "Well… you didn't think you were gonna survive that explosion in that lab did you?"

"Nope."

Shauni looked at his face. "So you were ready to die? Just so we could get away?" Kyle shrugged. "Well… these pilots did the same thing. They gave there lives so that what they intended to accomplish was done."

"…for honor…"

Shauni nodded. "Yeah."

Kyle looked at the ocean and smiled. "It's a good name. I like it." He turned back and looked Shauni in the eyes. "Thanks Shauni."

Shauni smiled. "You're welcome Kamikaze." Shauni and kamikaze looked at each other smiling for the longest time.

Suddenly a bright light came from the woods blinding them temporarily. "Project Alpha. This is the Galactic Federation. Place you hands in the air." Kamikaze squinted his eyes and brought his arm down that was shielding his face from the light and raised both of his hands in the air. "All of them." Kamikaze smirked and extended two other arms from his body, raising them in the air as well as extending his antenna and back spines. "Experiment 628 please come over here where you will be safe."

Kamikaze looked over at Shauni and mouthed the words "six-two-eight?"
