After the next day, everything went back into place. Well, almost everything. Lilo, Stitch, and Angel are back together as a trio while Reuben decided he needed to have some time with his best friend, Gantu. The only thing that the Pelekai family found different was the fact that Stitch was more around Lilo than he was Angel. This did not surprise Jumba and Nani of course, but it made Pleakley either dwell on it or shrug it off. When they do get a bit warm to each other, then he does ponder it. Another thing was that Kira had been snooping around the house, avoiding Nani seeing her of course. Lilo and Stitch told Pleakley about Kira staying with them until they could find a suited place for her, but made him promise not to tell Nani. Due to the fact Nani was not home often, Lilo and Stitch allow Kira to explore the house.
Kira had been very jealous of Lilo these past weeks. Even when Stitch chanced a glance at her, Kira would explode with rage. She couldn't believe that Stitch had actually fallen in love with Lilo. Her of all people! A stupid Earthling who was lower than dust! Even Angel was better than that low life Earth form. What the heck! Even Reuben was a better choice than Lilo. This is definitely saying something.
Speaking of the tan experiment, she just happened to walk in on Stitch and Lilo in the living room cuddled up together on the couch. She growled. "626!"
Stitch, realizing immediately whom that voice belonged to, sighed and asked. "What do you want Kira?"
"Can I talk to you?" She asked almost instantly.
Lilo turned her head to narrow her eyes at the tan experiment. "What about?" She growled through gritted teeth.
Kira turned to glare at the girl. "None of your business Earthling!"
"Meet me at the dome." Stitch replied, squeezing Lilo's hand for reassurance.
Kira bounced off joyfully to the elevator where the platform waited for her to ride. Lilo glared at her retreating back. Stitch smiled at Lilo, thrilled she was protective of their relationship. He leaned over to kiss her forehead, drawing her out of her mad state. She smiled adoringly at him then reached forward to plant a kiss on his lips. Stitch didn't waste any time to wrap his arms around her and pull her close to his chest. Lilo's arms went around his neck, pulling him deeper. After that blissful moment, they pulled away with smiles on their faces.
Stitch lay down on the couch, bringing Lilo with him. He lay on his back with Lilo snuggled comfortably on his chest, instantly dozing off with a peaceful expression. He grinned then ran his claws through her soft raven hair, falling asleep as well. There they lay, cuddled up next to each other.
Meanwhile, Angel and Reuben were deeply inside the forest. Reuben had finished his quality time with Gantu and Angel had already checked up on her two best friends as well. Now, the two were roaming around, conversing happily. They chatted about old times when Gantu was a failure at catching experiments, Angel's old romance with Stitch, how Reuben annoyed Gantu with his sandwich talking, just about everything from the past. Reuben brought up one of Gantu and Hamsterviel's little arguments and Angel giggled, laying her head on his shoulder.
Reuben smiled down at her then placed his arm around her shoulder. He bent forward to kiss her head as they continued walking. He saw how beautiful she looked with her eyes closed in peace and a brilliant smile illuminating her face. He thought back to the time when Gantu bribed him with sandwiches to make him trick Angel in singing her song backwards. He grimaced and mentally kicked himself for what he did to her. Back then, he didn't care about her, he just loved her body. Typical for all male experiments. Now, after getting to know her better, not only did he love her for her beauty, but of her personalities, the best and negative things about her. Who she is. He felt lucky to have her with him instead of hanging on Stitch's arm. He didn't think he could handle seeing her with someone else or if he ever lost her. She was his and he didn't mind being hers. He loved her. That's right everybody. Experiment 625, Reuben, the once lazy experiment who didn't care for anybody, loves Angel!
Angel sighed with contentment as she walked with Reuben. She felt so safe with his arm around her shoulder, she felt as if she could fall asleep right now and wake up in pure bliss. This warm feeling inside her only intensified when she felt his head rest on hers. She looked down on the ground to see how close they were, how her pink fur clashed with his golden yellow. Even though it sounded like an odd combination, it looked perfect to her. As if destiny made them be this way. She looked at their feet treading down the path and smiled. She had never felt this way around Stitch. Sure he did make her feel happy, but Reuben made her feel a lot more. She couldn't describe it. Words could never describe this sweet feeling. It was as if she was falling in love all over again. He was hers and she didn't mind being his. She loved him. Experiment 624, Angel, the prettiest experiment ever to grace this universe, loves Reuben!
Their walk ended at a cliff overlooking the ocean. Angel took her head off Reuben's shoulder to run up to the ledge. The yellow experiment followed, his eyes taking in the surroundings. He smiled then walked up to his pink beauty. Her gaze fixed on the blue waters below her. Reuben smirked then ran up to catch her by the waist and jumped off the cliff with her in his arms. Angel screamed in surprise and fear as she clutched onto him for dear life. Luckily, there were no sharp, jagged rocks underneath so they landed straight in the water safely. While underwater, Reuben swam up with Angel in his arms. The pink experiment splashed water at him as he laughed.
"Naga funny! Meega naga like getting wet!" Angel screamed.
Reuben chuckled. "Come on Angel cakes, you need to step out of Stitch's shadow. He hates the water too."
Angel smiled. "Meega like Reuben calling meega Angel cakes." She purred, cuddling close to him in the water.
"Then maybe I should say it a lot often." He nipped at her ear, causing her to squeal with delight. "I love you Angel cakes."
She purred louder to voice her pleasure. "Meega love buchee-bu."
Reuben pulled away with a surprised look on his face. Angel had never called him buchee-bu before. Even though it was one word, it still meant the world to him. By calling that person buchee-bu, this means the experiment feels strong about their mate. He had wanted to call her buchee-bu for so long, but he wasn't sure if she had gotten over Stitch and was ready for a blossoming relationship. Hearing her calling him buchee-bu, made him forget his insecurities and make her his.
"I love you too Angel. My beautiful buchee-bu." He whispered in her ear, causing her to smile with excitement.
They leaned forward to share a passionate kiss in the water.
While this was happening, Kira impatiently waited in the dome for Stitch. After twenty minutes she felt as if he stood her up. (I think that's the word for it, but if not, it's when a guy or a girl promises their boy or girlfriend that they would show up, but they don't) With an agitated sigh, she left the room and into the living room where she had seen her Stitch with that stupid girl watching TV. Her anger boiled when she saw them cuddled up next to each other on the couch, fast asleep.
Growling, she tugged on Lilo's arm until the girl rolled off Stitch. Before she fell to the floor, she shrieked, causing Stitch to awake. When he saw what happened, he glared at the tan experiment.
"What do you want Kira?" Stitch asked annoyed.
"You told me you would talk to me in the dome." Kira growled through her teeth.
Stitch rolled his eyes. "I never said when. Now, if you don't mind, I like to go back to sleep with Lilo, who is my buchee-bu."
"Actually I do mind! How could you fall in love with an Earth girl who is the complete opposite of our species?"
"That's none of your business! Now go away Kira."
"Stitch, we're betrothed. Please, dump this girl so we can fulfill our promise."
"There is no promise between us. The wedding is off. I'm not betrothed to you. Now leave me alone!"
Lilo allowed Stitch to pull her up and tuck her securely under his arms. With one last glare at the tan experiment, Stitch rolled to have Lilo's back against the couch and his back facing Kira.
The brown experiment huffed as she stomped off. This is not the end. Soon, Stitch will love me, and that girl will not get in my way!
Much to the enjoyment of the two lovers, Kira stayed out of Lilo and Stitch's way for a few days. Instead, she spent most of her time in Jumba and Pleakley's shared room, reading over the experiments' abilities. Considering the list was very long, it took her five full days to read the entire thing. Finally, she finished going over Experiment 629 AKA Leroy. She found out Jumba had made a 627 and a 628, but according to their powers and weaknesses, they were useless and not needed.
She went over Experiment 624's functions again. She knew 624 could turn good experiments to bad and this made her think she may be useful. However, her song does not affect experiments more advanced than her. After re-reading over her information, she sighed in frustration. Her head fell on the keyboard. After she did that, she read over the information over and over again. She stayed on the file of experiment 624 and noticed she had a new ability, one that would make her very helpful in her plan.
Kira then went over experiment 625, seeing if he had good qualities. She found out later that he didn't. However, she knew Angel and Reuben were lovers and if she had Angel, Reuben would most definitely blab this to Lilo and Stitch and Kira could not have that happening. She decided to include Reuben in her plan and thought of ways to get him useful to her. Still though, she couldn't do much damage with just these two experiments. They couldn't kill Lilo with Stitch constantly around her. She decided she needed someone else.
After going over the file of 316 AKA Morpholomew, she smiled brightly. Her evil mind formulated a plan that could work in getting Lilo out of Stitch's love life.
"Yes, it could work!" She exclaimed to herself then snickered snisterly. "And there's only three experiments I need, 625, 624 and 316."
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own the story, plot, and Kira
Note: Sorry the chapter was short. When I wrote it, I was having what you authors called writer's block at that time. I went over this chapter again and again to see if I could make a few changes to it to make it less stupid, but I only added a few things that still didn't really help, but oh well. I'll be sure to update soon, don't worry. Now that Kira has a plan to excise Lilo out of Stitch's life, what's going to happen next? What could Kira possibly need with Reuben, Angel, and Morpholomew? What do you guys think is going to happen? As for the kissing, there are two reviewers that aren't exactly sure about the tongue thing. I'll make sure it's not too descriptive and I will assure you that they only do that twice and it will be at their emotional spots. Well, that's all I have to say for now, and please review for me and I might get chapt 17 up today or tomorrow.
