After two weeks passed, Stitch and Angel's worry brewed stronger. They took note of Lilo's eating habits. She would eat less and even when she does eat too much, she vomits afterwards. Shockingly, Nani did not force Lilo to eat her food but instead, let her eat when she wants to. Another thing was her weight. Lilo had been losing an unhealthy amount of pounds and both of the experiments knew it wasn't because of her eating. They also weren't able to spend much time with her because usually, she's sleeping. Every time Stitch and Angel wanted to play with Lilo, she's usually asleep. The last reason was that Lilo wept so much and so do Nani, Pleakley and even Jumba. These last two weeks made Stitch and Angel worry for their human friend.
At night, Stitch and Angel laid awake in their bed. They had watched some TV in the living room with Lilo until she surrendered to slumber. Stitch carried her upstairs to lay her down in her bed and joined Angel in their bed. They conversed about Lilo's strange sleeping and eating habits. They also talked more about the diary Lilo faithfully fills in. Finally, Angel wrapped up their conversation, kissed Stitch goodnight, then fell asleep.
Stitch on the other hand didn't. He waited a couple of minutes before he was certain Angel was asleep before crawling out of bed meticulously. He tiptoed out of the room and closed the door gently. He turned to the dome where the platform rode him up to Lilo's room. He gasped when he realized Lilo wasn't in her bed. The sheets looked like they were kicked around a lot and pillows were strewn on the floor. Stitch ran over to the bed and pressed his nose to the spot where he laid down Lilo. He started to sniff her familiar scent and concluded that she left the bed twenty minutes ago.
Once again, he rode the platform downstairs and into the kitchen to see if she went to go get a glass of warm milk or some water. Usually when she wakes up in the middle of the night, she gets those kinds of beverages to lull her back to sleep. However, when he checked, she wasn't there. He tapped his chin with his claw just as his eyes furrowed in concentration. He wondered for a moment until he looked out the kitchen window. He saw a flickering orange light on the window of the backdoor. Curiously, Stitch opened the door and stepped out in the soft green grass of their backyard. (I don't know if the Pelekais have a backyard, but in this story, they do and their hammock is in their backyard too.) Up ahead, Stitch noticed the tikis were lit then he heard a soft voice.
"Mom, Dad," The voice started and he instantly recognized it as Lilo's voice. "I'm really scared." Stitch perked his ears up in concern and wonderment. What is she scared of? Moreover, why isn't she going to him for comfort like she always does? This made him creep closer, but remained in the shadows so she couldn't see him. His ears perked eagerly as she continued. "I'm not ready. I still have to graduate from hula school, earn a diploma at the Hawaiian University, fall in love, marry, have children, and be there for my huge ohana. I can't go now. I want to stay, but Jumba and the doctors are saying it's no use. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to see how my progress is doing. I don't want to go to the doctor's appointment tomorrow! Because then Nani will cry, I will cry and it'll worry Stitch and Angel. Mom, Dad, I love you and I miss you very much, but I'm not ready to-"
Lilo didn't get to finish as Stitch lost his balance over the rock he was standing on and fell face first into the grass. "Ohh my head." He moaned in misery.
"Stitch! What are you doing out here!" Lilo cried out angrily. How could Stitch spy on her like that? What would happen if he heard?
"Stitch worried about Lilo! He came to talk, but if Lilo naga want to see him, then Stitch go back to bed then." He retorted nastily at her as he began to turn and leave her.
However, her voice prevented him from doing so. "Stitch, wait! I'm sorry. You just startled me it's all. Please come back, I need you right now."
Her voice cracked, causing Stitch to turn around. As soon as he did, he noticed tears trailing down her Hawaiian cheeks. Forgetting about her outburst, he sped up to her. Lilo moved to the side so he had enough room to jump into the hammock. Stitch crawled over to Lilo and brought her into his arms. Lilo buried her face into his chest and began to sob. Stitch felt his heart breaking at hearing her sobbing. He hated her tears of anguish, pain and sorrow. He wished he could be more comforting then just giving her a hug, but he knew nothing of comforting a crying eleven-year-old girl. Hugging her made her cry more then she would stop after a while. He just wished he knew something that would soothe her instantly.
He held her close to his chest for a moment longer until he heard her sobs subside and her shoulders stopped quivering. He pulled away to look at her face. His ears lowered behind his back at the sight of his best friend's puffy, red eyes and tear-streaked pale face. His hand stroked her hair as his tongue dashed out of his mouth and licked her Hawaiian face. Lilo giggled in a hoarse voice, making Stitch to pounce on her. This made him on top of her while her back pressed deeper into the hammock. Stitch went to tickle her, but Lilo's arms wrapped around his neck and rolled over to switch their positions with Lilo on top of him and he on the bottom.
Lilo smiled as she leaned forward and pecked Stitch on the forehead. He sighed with contentment, causing her to peck the bridge of his nose. She felt him shudder beneath her, which got her feeling slightly uncomfortable. Stitch noticed her actions stopped and he opened his dark eyes. He smiled at the sight of her pink blush on her cheeks. His tongue once again swept across both of her tinted pink cheeks while she giggled girlishly like a schoolgirl when her boyfriend does something romantic for her. Lilo laid her head on Stitch's chest and began to twirl a tuft of his chest fur around her finger. His arms went around her, but instead of feeling two, she felt four arms holding her to his body.
"Lilo, youga joining dead parents?" Stitch asked carefully.
"Humans die Stitch. Whether it's from a sickness, murder, or old age people die either way. God may have given us a birth date, but also a death date." Lilo responded as she snuggled deeper into Stitch's chest.
"Why Lilo talking about death? Death ways off. Right?" Stitch enquired.
A few tears leaked out of Lilo's eyes, drenching a small patch of his blue fur. "Death is ways off for most people Stitch, but for me, it's not."
"Gaba!" Stitch cried as he raised her chin. "What Lilo mean?"
Lilo leaned forward and kissed Stitch softly on his cheek. Her lips lingered there for a few moments before she pulled away. She almost laughed at his obvious embarrassment, but just smiled and laid her head back on his chest. "I love you Stitch."
"Lilo... dying?" Stitch asked fearfully.
He never says he loves me. Lilo sighed wistfully in her head. "I'm going to sleep now Stitch. You can go back to bed with Angel, but I'm sleeping out here tonight."
Lilo rolled off him so he could go. Stitch left to go back inside the house. Lilo sighed as a few more tears escaped from her brown eyes. She felt so lonely out here without Stitch. She felt a miniscule amount of anger towards him for leaving her to go to Angel, but she also blamed herself for letting him go. She was just about to close her eyes for sleep until she heard footsteps.
She turned her head to see Stitch with a blanket and a couple of pillows in each of his arms. Lilo thought he brought them out there for her. She was about to thank him until he jumped into the hammock with her. He placed one of the pillows under Lilo's raised head and the other one beside it. He then covered both him and his best friend with the blanket and laid down on one of the pillows.
Lilo smiled. "I thought you were going back to Angel."
"And leave youga here alone and cold? Naga." Stitch responded as he opened his arms.
Lilo's smile widened as she lay back down and cuddled closer to Stitch. His four arms wrapped around her instantly as her arms went around his neck. That's how the night went by for them. Both of them securely locked in each other's arms for a serene slumber.
When morning came, the sun's rays of daylight blinded both Lilo and Stitch's closed eyelids. Stitch shifted in his sleep until his eyes opened to the dominant sun. He felt weight around his neck and something warm pressed against him. He looked down to see Lilo who was trying to shield her eyes from the sun. Stitch didn't know why, but he felt oddly snug while she held him tightly. He kissed the top of her raven head, causing her to squirm at contact. He nuzzled his face into her hair, breathing in her scent. He heard her chuckle, but no other movement. This time his claws tickled her back, which made her laugh and roll out of his grasp. He let her go and smiled at her.
"Morning." He replied with a toothy grin.
"Good morning you ticklish beast who won't let a girl have her beauty sleep." Lilo responded back while stretching out her limbs.
"Lilo naga need beauty sleep, shoga already beautiful." It was out before Stitch could stop it and as soon as he did, he blushed with shyness.
Lilo smiled. "Really Stitch? Do you really think I'm beautiful?"
Hope she doesn't take this the wrong way. "Ih! Lilo beautiful!"
A blush crept to Stitch's cheek as she leaned forward and kissed his nose for a quick moment. "Thanks Stitch. After all these years, I never thought I was even close to being pretty. Nobody ever said I was. Thanks."
Stitch beamed. "Stitch and Lilo eat breakfast now?"
Lilo laughed. Of course, the first thing he thinks of is breakfast. "Of course Stitch. Come on!"
The two friends climbed off the hammock to go inside, but Stitch, feeling playful, pounced on Lilo while she was running. When Stitch collided with her, they began to roll around like they always did. Eventually, Stitch ended on top of Lilo until the girl roughly pushed him off her. He rolled backwards into a bush, giving Lilo enough time to make her escape into the house.
Her breathing grew heavy as she dashed to the kitchen. After a few minutes, she heard a yawn from the entrance. Lilo looked over to see Angel staggering into the kitchen with a groggily look on her face.
"Morning Angel!" Lilo bid.
Angel grumbled a response and began making her a bowl of cereal. However, she was so tired that instead of grabbing a bowl, she brought out a cup. Lilo told her she had a cup, but Angel just waved off her comment. Next, she grabbed a jar of mayonnaise and filled the cup to its rim. Lilo covered her mouth to prevent laughter. The next thing she grabbed was the box of 'Chocolate Yum-Yum's' She drowsily dumped the whole box into the cup of mayonnaise posing to be milk. Some made it into the cup, but plethora of the tiny brown pebbles fell to the ground and scattered on the kitchen counter. When the box was empty, Angel tossed it behind her carelessly. She then chugged her 'breakfast' down her throat greedily just before belching. She threw the cup into the sink and exited the kitchen.
Lilo sighed. She's so much like Stitch. Well, I had better clean this mess or Nani will have my head. That or I can get Pleakley!
She was about to turn to exit the kitchen until she felt something wet hit her back. She turned around to see nobody. Her hand went behind her back and felt a piece of rubber. It was a water balloon! As soon as she realized that, she became drenched with it. Lilo had a very good idea who the culprit was and she instantly ducked under the table. She spotted a dark blue figure climbing on the ceiling until he hid out of sight behind the window's curtain. Lilo crawled out of her spot, keeping her face towards the sink while she watched the curtain out of the corner of her eye.
Lilo reached the fridge, darting her eyes around, but still keeping unnoticeable attention on the curtain. She grabbed the jar of mayonnaise that Angel left carelessly in front of all the others. She opened the lid, took a scoop into her hand, and closed the jar with the free one. She bawled her hands into fists so her 'attacker' wouldn't know which fist had the 'attacking projectile'. Lilo trailed closer to the curtain, keeping her eyes focused on it. When she reached the window, she swiftly pulled back the curtain and revealed Stitch holding a yellow water balloon. Lilo showed no mercy as she threw her ball of mayonnaise at Stitch.
The blue alien jumped in surprise. He turned to glare at Lilo for seeking him out until he realized she was too busy laughing. He took careful aim and threw the water balloon at her face. Lilo stopped laughing and this allowed Stitch to jump on her. Lilo's back pinned roughly to the floor and Stitch began to nuzzle her with the mayonnaise on his face. Soon, Lilo was covered with dripping water and mayonnaise.
"Stitch!" Lilo shouted. "Get off me."
"Naga until Lilo soka." Stitch replied.
"For what?"
"For throwing mayonnaise at Stitch."
"You threw water balloons at me! So you better soka!"
Stitch grinned evilly at her. He then began to nuzzle her face to cover her with mayonnaise. "Apologize!"
"Naga!" Lilo retorted and threw him off her. "Angel! Your 'buchee-bu' won't leave me alone!"
As if on cue, Angel flew from the living room and collided with Stitch. "Youga naga mess with mockcheeka achie-baba! Never!"
"Naga takabah!" Stitch cried as he instantly removed Angel from him and leapt at Lilo. "Lilo mine!"
"Naga! Shoga mockcheeka!" Angel yelled back as she sprinted towards Stitch who had Lilo by both arms.
"Wow, I have two experiments fighting over me. Do I feel special."
The two experiments laughed together and followed Lilo into the living room. Stitch and Lilo forgot about breakfast and decided to spend some time with each other and Angel. All three of them decided to play Lilo's new Nintendo game called 'Vampires VS Werewolves' It was basically a challenge game between werewolves and vampires (Obviously). The game only went up to at least two players. Stitch, Angel, and Lilo played rock, paper, and scissors to determine the first two players. Angel lost so she sat on the couch while Lilo and Stitch went to play their game.
Lilo, being first player, picked out her character first. She chose to be one of the vampires since it was Stitch's turn to be a werewolf. She chose a male vampire named Terror. He had a pale white face, but with rosy red lips. He had deep black pupils that could strike fear in any being. His teeth were yellow, but his fangs were abnormally pearly white. He had a bloody red cape just like all the other vampires, a navy blue undershirt and black plants.
Stitch chose 'Hazard' as his werewolf. This werewolf had brown fur that was darker than chocolate. His eyes were a golden yellow and sparkled anger. His teeth were a yuckiest yellow with bloodstains. His ears perked, his nostrils flared, his hair bristled while he stood there in a pouncing position with his legs buckled slightly and his head lowered to the ground with his tail in between his legs.
After choosing their character, Lilo chose the 'Forbidden Forest' as the battleground and Stitch concurred with her choice of destination. Stitch somewhat liked the 'Forbidden Forest' scene. Emeralds of grass covered the area except for the swamp that was located behind a dying bush. The sky was black, which added into the frightening scene. When the signal on the screen told them to go, Lilo and Stitch instantly began playing.
Angel cheered Lilo on, which made Stitch slightly agitated with her. Lilo's vampire threw harsh attacks at Stitch's werewolf, causing him to reverse those attacks and make Lilo's vampire hurt worse than his werewolf. Stitch made Hazard jump on top of Terror. Lilo franticly pushed the recover button and this made Terror lift Hazard off his chest and threw him in the air. Lilo made Terror flip to Hazard's side, lie down beside him, and strangle him with his long, dirty fingernails. Stitch stood and pressed the recover button, causing Hazard to bite down on Terror's hand. Before Stitch could make Hazard attack, Lilo quickly pressed a life saving button to turn Terror into a bat.
Stitch made Hazard swipe at Terror in his bat form with his claws while Lilo made her vampire bat peck at Hazard. Much to Stitch's dismay, Hazard fell to the ground with blood dripping from his wounds. Lilo made Terror turn back into his vampire form, walk up to Hazard, and made him feast on the werewolf. Stitch watched in despair as the vampire began to devour Hazard. First starting with tearing pieces of his flesh then sinking his teeth in to suck the blood. Stitch tried pressing the recover button, but he was too late. The screen declared finished as Terror ate Hazard.
Stitch turned to glare at Lilo. "Youga mean."
"I'm good at this game Stitch. Sorry you're so bad at it." Lilo said with mock sympathy, earning a snicker from Angel and a growl from Stitch. "Angel, come play me!"
Just before Angel could grab hold of the controller, Nani came into the room. "Lilo, we have to go to the store now."
Lilo sighed. "That's right."
"Lilo can stay!" Angel insisted. "Jumba and Pleakley home!"
"No, I need Lilo to come with me. She needs to uh... pick out her... uh, lunch for lunch tomorrow." Nani rushed as she ordered Lilo to change.
Angel looked at Stitch. "Nani lying."
"Ih, meega have information. Wait for Lilo and Nani leave." Stitch informed.
"Okitaka." Angel agreed.
It took ten minutes for the sisters to leave. Nani made herself a small breakfast. Lilo changed into her red muumuu she still wears and her brown sandals. The two sisters were out the door then, leaving the experiments alone in the house.
Stitch explained to Angel about last night. The pink experiment was nearly close to tears as she leaned into Stitch's arms for an embrace. Stitch wrapped his arms around her too. He could feel his own eyes water up, but no tears escaped. He was very concerned about his friend's health. He knew something was very wrong with her, but what was so frustrating was the fact he didn't know what and why people won't tell him.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own the story, plot, and Kira who will be appearing soon.
Note: I have a reviewer (don't want to say his name because I don't want to be mean) that said he couldn't stand this story because I'm having it Lilo/Stitch. As I said before: IF you do NOT like Lilo/Stitch, but you do like Stitch/Angel, then read from the beginning because there are some love scenes on them. IF you DO like Lilo/Stitch then go on and read because I have TONS of love scenes based around them and that includes, kissing (You may not think Lilo's old enough for that, but it IS my story so you might as well get used to it.) lots of cuddling and etc. It even says it in the story! Besides, it's the Stitch/Angel stories that everyone mostly writes. I do NOT like Stitch/Angel, as a matter of fact, I HATE this pairing because Stitch seems obssessive with her in the Snafu episode and you can't just say you love the person in what two or three days? There's a lot of Stitch/Angel stories and so little of the Lilo/Stitch. There are people that want to see Lilo and Stitch together, so stop dissing them because of it. You don't see me going around flaming at a Stitch/Angel story do you? That's because I don't waste my time reading about a story with this pairing. So again, if you DO NOT like Lilo/Stitch, then why are you even reading this story? I even said it in the beginning that they will fall in love. Geez people, read the summary before you click on to this.
I'm not trying to start any fights here, but please do read this story if you are a fan of Lilo/Stitch. If you're not, then why bother reading this story. Although, I do appreciate the honest thought, but it is MY story, not yours and I can do whatever I want with it. You don't like anything about this story and it disgusts you all that much, then leave alright? As for the other reviewers saying this story is cool and although do not support the Lilo/Stitch pairing, but are being nice, then I thank you and I'm sorry for wasting your time with this. I apologize if I defended any of you in either way, but please try to be gentler next time.
