Chapter 2: Emotional Warfare
As Lilo continued to try and get Stitch smart again, things were getting pretty chaotic in the household. Spike was running around chasing Nosy, shooting spikes whenever possible and the big nose experiment yelping and dodging. Splody and Slushy were shooting and throwing balls of ice and plasma at each other, most of them missing and hitting the walls, and the two thieves Bonnie and Clyde were bouncing on the couch smacking each other with pillows. Pleakley and Fibber, were hiding from the chaos behind a overturned table. Fibber was smiling, odd enough, and was peeking over.
Last, there was Solid, running around trying to save an exhausted, running Nosy. Spike growled a little, then unleashed a barrage of spikes on the big nose experiment, who was leaning against the overturned table. Nosy screamed and jumped over the table, Solid stumbling. He was reaching forward to grabbed the experiment, but then noticed the spikes heading right at him.
"Oh damn!" Solid cursed with wide eyes. He turned metallic, and curled up into a ball. Even if he was made of metal now, still would hurt like hell if it got him in the eyes. Luckily, the spikes that connected with him bounced off harmlessly. Solid uncurled back onto his rear, and stood up sighing with relief.
"Thank go---OW!" Solid yelped. Splody had jumped from behind on Solid's head, and pushed off of the now dazed experiment, aiming more plasma balls at Splody. Solid started getting up, but then a foot fell down on his left ear, pinning him to the ground. However with his right ear, he managed to hear Pleakley say with shock and a uneasy voice.
"This is going all wrong!" He exclaimed. Solid squirmed free, rubbing his sore ear, then growled a bit. The day was actually going pretty smoothly until this craziness begun. He looked around at the experiments, then with a ticked off voice, he yelled.
"Everyone STOP!" He yelled the last word louder and with more edge. Easily, Solid's screech stopped all the experiments in their tracks. All of them however, except Spike who was still growling. Although he was angry, Solid knew not to mess with Spike with him in this mood, so he stepped back, not noticing Bonnie was right smack next to him. It was also right then and there that Pleakley snapped. He stood up glaring, and Solid knew something was about to happen.
"That's it! We're supposed to be hugging and crying, WE'RE GONNA HUG AND CRY!" He screamed. A lot of eyes turned to him, including an enraged Spike. The angry glare from the experiment made Pleakley bite his lower lip.
"Oh boy, me and my big mouth…" He muttered to himself as Spike advanced on him. The experiments, also Solid stayed silent, not wanting to draw attention to themselves. Then, Pleakley ran across the room and into the hall, opening a closet. (Nobody can see this though) Solid and some others were surprised, having expected Spike to chase Pleakley. Solid clenched one hand tightly, ready to attack if Spike tried to do anything that could be harmful to the others.
But there was no need to, as Pleakley came back out. But what he was wearing startled everyone and they all started to grimace, even Solid. He was wearing pots and various metal pieces, a sliver on the pan on Pleakley's head, open enough for his one eye to see out. The pieces on his legs were strapped awkwardly as well, though his whole look was awkward and freaky enough. He advanced on Spike while the experiment backed up. Solid shook his head a little in wonder.
"What the heck is he doing…" He muttered. Pleakley then started speaking again.
"I don't think your evil, I think your special! You just need a big hug." Pleakley said smiling. Slowly and carefully he scooped Spike in his arms, him thrashing around in response. Solid then started smiling.
"Oh…the metal is keeping Pleakley from being stupefied!" Solid said, impressed. Bonnie and the others still weren't sure, they were thinking Pleakley would be battered. But then Spike did something nobody expected him to do. He sniffled, then clung to Pleakley and started to cry!
"WAAAAH! WA-WAHHHH!" Spike cried heavily, burying his tear streaked face in Pleakley's armor-plated chest. This tearful ad beautiful sight caused a lot of the experiments to tear up and go…
"Awwww…." They all were smiling, and unshed tears caused their eyes to shine. Bonnie then looked at Solid, sniffling and a tear coming down her cheek. It was weird for both of them, it was like they were being controlled by something. But they weren't, it was their emotions and feelings that were showing now.
"I-I'm so sorry…" She said softly, leaning forward to Solid. He came forward too, and suddenly pulled her into a embrace. The two held each other close, then Solid said something that was almost as soft as a whisper.
"I'm sorry too…." The two held each other for a while with shut eyes, including Splody/Slushy and even Nosy and Fibber. The big nose experiment wept and hugged Fibber hell of tight.
"T-This is so beautiful!" He said between sniffles. Smiling, Fibber nodded as well. The 7 experiments wept freely and happily, smiling more as they saw the spiked experiment finally smile for the first time. Pleakley sat Spike down, and the experiment purred, quite a surprise for a few.
"I knew he wasn't evil. Ha, we didn't even need Jumba's machine after all!" Pleakley said proudly, and with a big grin. Solid nodded, that was true. The machine probably would've made Spike even MORE evil!
Solid snickered a bit, then FINALLY noticed he was hugging Bonnie excessively close to his furry chest. Bonnie also noticed this after a while, and they pushed away from each other, blushing like mad. They were even more embarrassed when they figured in their heads how long they were holding one another.
"Uh…this doesn't…" Bonnie started, but Solid simply nodded beforehand, agreeing quickly with her. She nodded back and smiled a bit, Solid smiling back with as much warmness as her. Then Solid quickly turned his head away, not wanting to blush more and make Bonnie draw out reasons why.
'Why am I feeling this way? Do I…like her?' He asked in his head. Of course, unfortunately, he got no answer back, and he saw on the couch looking up at Pleakley, who was getting ready to say something. Everyone else noticed this and sat down too, Bonnie and Clyde on either side of the silver experiment.
Solid looked at Clyde with one eye and noticed he seemed kind of depressed. But then Solid guessed he had no one to comfort or be comforted by, unlike the others. Solid sighed a bit, feeling sorry for the big experiment.
Nosy sat behind Pleakley beside Fibber, his butt a little sore from sitting on the cold floor, and the remaining three experiments Slushy, Splody, and Spike laid down on the floor in front. Pleakley smiled, seeing everyone was watching him intently, waiting for him to speak.
"So…shall we continue? Or do you want to stop and go home now." Pleakley asked, his face clear of runny tears now. The experiments looked at each other, thinking, and then looked up at Pleakley, all saying the same thing in unison.
"Continue." They smiled softly, Pleakley smiling as well, but for some other various reasons too. He then nodded again.
"Well, before we try anything new, anybody want to share something about themselves? It can be anything." Pleakley asked the group. Solid remembered Pleakley had done this a while ago, and wandered if anybody would share this time. Nosy raised his hand then, though when Solid and Pleakley looked down on his face, Nosy seemed a little uneasy about it.
"Got something to share Nosy, that ISN'T a rumor?" Pleakley asked softly. Nosy nodded and stood up, walking to the center and looking at everyone. Solid watched silently, and thought to himself. 'If it IS a rumor, hopefully not about me.' Nosy bit his lower lip a bit, and then opened his mouth when everyone's eyes were on him.
"I…um…have a-a crush on someone." He said the last part quickly, blushing a tiny bit after revealing very personal information. Some of the experiments, well actually, most of them were surprised, even shocked. Pleakley grinned and winked, not being completely as surprised as the little monsters.
"Oh, so you found a little female monster you like eh?" He went. Nosy gulped, and started (or tried) to speak again.
"Well…I---" Nosy started, unable to find the right words. But then, fortunately for the big nose experiment, Jumba who had been cooped up in his room, had came running out and towards the door. He then looked at Pleakley, and he noticed Jumba was a little frantic.
"What are you still doing here Pleakley? We're late, little girl is waiting for us!" Jumba said, and with that, he ran out. Those words hit Pleakley hard, and he nearly panicked.
"Oh no, I almost forgot!" Pleakley gasped, jumping up. Frantically he looked at Solid, who got the idea on what Pleakley was about to say.
"I'll take the experiments back, don't worry." He said. Feeling a little bit relieved, Pleakley bolted out the door in a rush. Solid and the other experiments then got up, and were headed out the door. Fibber, being helpful and all, switched off the lights, and with that, Solid closed and locked the door behind him.
Author's PN: I honestly wished I had more then one review, but I guess there isn't that many more fans of L&S, either that, or this story bored you. XD Well, I posted CH2 anyways, enjoy. Ch3 will be up tommorow, its already done.
