Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own story, plot, and three experiments: Drea, Slyther, and Master
Slyther walked unaccompanied along the streets, his mind containing jumbled thoughts. He thought of Angel. He thought of Drea. He thought of Master. He thought of his enticement towards Angel, a romance he never knew about that he once shared with Drea, and Master's plan. He wasn't certain if he should complete his task and hurt Angel, or if he should quit on Master and get himself killed afterwards.
As he walked along the dirty streets, absentmindedly kicking an empty soda can along the way, he heard a voice calling his name.
"Slyther!"
He turned to see Master, shrouded by the rough leaves of the bushes. He peered around to make sure they were alone before creeping out. Slyther stood still, waiting for his Master to speak.
"You wanted to talk to me?" Slyther asked.
Master nodded. "I want to know how things are going between you and 624."
"Good." He replied with a curt nod. "She loves me and believes I love her." For some reason, a flashback of Angel's innocent face beaming at him happily with large, beautiful, sparkling eyes came to him and made his heart thump with slight adoration and guilt. "She's putty in my hands."
Master's strange grin stretched across his face. "Excellent. Be sure to earn 626's trust before the week is over. 626 is under the impression you betrayed me thanks to my clever acting. All you need to do is act friendly like towards him and his disgusting little girlfriend, pretend you love 624, then when the week is over, snatch Lilo and bring her to me."
"I will Master." He responded monotonously. He couldn't look at the dark experiment in the eye because he knew, the blunt lie would be evident in his green orbs.
"I know you will son." Master responded with a miniscule amount of warmth.
Slyther snapped his head back up so fast you could hear a crack of his bones. Son? He has never called me son. Oh crap! Now what've I gotten myself into!
Master grinned as he slung his arm around Slyther's broad shoulders. "If you keep this up with the cleverness, I think you may actually be at the top. You might even be more brighter than Drea will ever be."
Drea. How could I have forgotten about my buchee-bu? Slyther could feel some tears brimming at the edge of his eyes when he thought about Drea and remembered the horrible way she died. "Speaking of Drea, what happened between her and I?"
"What are you talking about?" Master scowled as he quickly removed his arm.
"Before Drea died, she told me her and I used to have a romance. Is that true?" Slyther asked.
"Of course not." Master shrugged. "The little whiner probably had a crush on you. Anyway, why don't you go back to your 'buchee-bu' and pretend this meeting never happened. Of course, be sure that you complete your mission by the end of the week understood son?"
"Understood Father." The word sounded bitter on his tongue. If he was the same bad boy Slyther he was back then, he would've thought the word 'Father' would actually be as if it was a praise of success. "I'll make sure my mission is complete by the end of the week."
"That's my boy." Master grinned as he gave Slyther a pat on the back. "I shall see you sometime this week. Meet me at our house when you have obtained 626's and the girl's trust."
With that, Master swiveled and disappeared in the bushes. Slyther sighed in exasperation before turning around to head home. He was even more confused now. He had always wanted Master's attention so he would stop treating him like a punch bag, and now that he has Master's praise, he felt as if someone had punched him in the gut.
He swallowed hard as he reached the steps of Angel's home. Now, he didn't think he deserved to live inside her home and love her only to deceive her in the end. He gulped down his small amount of shame before entering inside the house. He trotted upstairs, passed a couple of doors until he reached her bedroom door.
He reached forward and slowly opened it to face the dimness of the room. The only light she had was the illuminating light of the moon. He crept closer to observe her beautiful face, glowing from the light. The soft breeze from the fan tickled her antennas, making them shiver. Her chest gradually rose and fell back down in a steady rhythm to control her breathing. She had one arm above her head while the other slung over the cool sheets, clutching them tightly towards her neck. Slyther beamed as he observed the beauty laying in front of him. He brought his hand to her cheek and gently caressed it, hoping his touch wouldn't wake her up.
She's so beautiful. He breathed in his mind then frowned. What do I do? It's either I get an adequate amount of praises from Master, and hurt Angel in the end or I refuse Master's praise and get myself killed and Angel too.
He decided sleep would do him some good for tonight. His meeting with Master exhausted him quite a bit and he wanted nothing more than to sleep. He bent forward to peck Angel's forehead then turned to leave. However, he didn't get too far for he felt a steel grip on his wrist. He turned and grinned to see it was Angel.
She had a huge beam on her face and tugged him into bed with her. Slyther obliged her wish and crawled beside her. She stroked his cheek gingerly and leant forward to kiss his lips. Slyther draped his arms around her back, holding her close to him. They separated when both sides wanted air. She pulled away and smiled dreamily at him. Slyther's heart jolted with excitement at the sparkle in her eyes.
"Night Slyther." She replied. It was obvious she wanted to tell him she loved him, but she didn't know if that would be a good idea.
"Night Angel." He responded and watched as she fell into a peaceful sleep. "Sweet dreams my dear for they will be your only comfort by the end of the week."
With that, he rolled over to go to sleep as well. Angel's face was the last thing he saw before drifting off into a fitful slumber.
As they slept peacefully, Lilo and Stitch stirred under the sheets of the gurneys Jumba provided for them. Lilo yawned loudly before pushing herself away from Stitch's grip, stretching out her limbs. Stitch cracked his eye open to watch her and grinned toothily.
Lilo looked over at him and smiled. Stitch inclined his head to kiss the corner of her mouth before looking at her in the eye. "How do you feel?"
"Better." Lilo replied as she twisted her neck to crack it. "You?"
Stitch nodded. "Better too."
"626! Little Girl! Finally, you two are awake." Boomed a deep Russian voice from the back of the room. Stitch turned his head to see his creator stepping forward. "Now Little Girl, Jumba has already installed abilities in you such as agility, strength, intelligence, among other abilities that 626 obtains. Now, Jumba is going to need you to learn how to fight like 626. Therefore, 626, you teach Little Girl how to fight everyday in my ship at around 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM right after dinner."
"Speaking of dinner.." Stitch trailed on as he felt his stomach grumble in hunger.
Lilo shook her head while Jumba nodded. "Your dinners are being heated in heat generator device."
"The stove?" Stitch asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, the box thing. The one with tiny squares and a look through thing that spins food around." Jumba described.
Lilo rolled her eyes. "It's called a microwave Jumba."
"Oh right." Jumba replied. "Well, anyway, Little Girl and 626's dinners are being in microwave."
Jumba turned to leave and both Stitch and Lilo followed. When they reached the house, they instantaneously darted for the kitchens. Stitch brought a chair over to Lilo who stood on it and reached over to open the microwave. Two small plates with pizza were the meals. Lilo grinned and handed one to Stitch while she grabbed the other.
They both gorged it down their throats, burping afterwards before discarding their plates in the sink. Lilo washed them to keep Nani off her case and followed Stitch upstairs in their dome. She walked over to the closet and locked herself inside while Stitch went over to the bed. Suddenly, he heard laughter outside and looked out the window. He saw Nani and David laughing happily with each other. They embraced afterwards, kissed, then David departed while Nani stood looking after him dreamily.
Is it the dating that's keeping them so close? Stitch thought. If Lilo and I dated, would we be closer? Would she love me just as much as Nani loves David?
I already love you so much Stitch.
The blue alien chuckled. His girlfriend had read his thoughts. Well, you know how Nani and David weren't all that close. They never kissed, hugged, or even said they loved each other. When they started dating, it looked as though they had been lovers since the day they were born. If we dated, do you think we would feel for each other the same way they feel for the other?
Lilo stepped out the closet, wearing her original aqua blue nightgown. Stitch turned his head to see her running a brush through her glossy hair. He smiled at her as she came up and enveloped him in her embrace. Stitch kissed her long on her forehead, beaming merrily as he held her close.
Lilo played with his left ear lovingly, caressing it and scratching it. She knew he loved it when she played with his ears. "Stitch, we don't need dates to make our love stronger. We just have to play it out like it's meant to be I guess."
Stitch pulled away from her. "But, would you like to go out with me?"
"You know I would, but where would we go Stitch? We don't have enough money, people would wonder why I'm going on a date with my dog, and I doubt Nani is used to our relationship. Just think of how berserk she'll be. She'd be running amuck if she found out we were dating." Lilo replied.
"Forget what she thinks Lilo. Forget what everybody thinks! I love you and I want you to be with me forever. If Nani or anybody in this household doesn't see that, then forget them! As for people thinking you're going out with your dog, I can just cover myself with my Kenny disguise. As for money, there's something I would like to show you." Stitch responded as he led her over to his cot.
He pushed in a loose brick in the wall and the cot flipped. Lilo gasped as it showed almost a million bucks glued on the cot. "How?" She whispered breathlessly.
"When I had my glitch and I was doing bad things to you, I went out to impress you that I can be good. I did deeds around the island with no charge, but they thought I was so nice that they awarded me with some cash." Stitch answered.
"But, surely not just deeds around the island could get you to a million dollars!"
"Actually Lilo, the amount is only 1,213 dollars. As for the rest, let's just say I've been picking out of Nani's purse for my greedy needs, tipped over some vending machines and picked up any kind of money on the streets."
Lilo looked at him with a naughty smirk. "You bad boy."
"So, will you go on a date with me tomorrow my sweet?" He asked adoringly as he slithered an arm around her waist.
Lilo chuckled. "How can I say no. Of course I'll go out with you tomorrow Stitch."
He grinned. "Good."
They kissed lovingly just before hiding the money and going back to sleep. Lilo slept with a blissful smile on her face, happy she had such a terrific boyfriend.
