Here's chapter 5

I've been writing insanely fast today.

Chapter 5: Apologies.

Rhanee

I sat under a tree on the edge of the forest. I don't know if it is actually a forest, but thats what I call it.

I frowned. Why is Cosmo such a jerk?! Why can't he call me by my name? Its not that hard. Just say Rha-nee. See, not that difficult. I looked up at the house. I'd been gone for a while. Lilo would probably be looking for me. Sighing, I climbed to my feet and headed back up the path towards the house. As I climbed the stairs, I realised that something was different. It was too quiet. Thats unusual.

As I pushed the door open, I looked around. My ears twitched, trying to decect any sound.

Nothing. Odd.

Usualy Jumba's banging and clanging around in his room and Pleakley's telling him to be quiet, and Lilo and Stitch normally run around the house playing Alien Cowboy or Space Roosters From Mars. Well...that was before I was dehydrated. Hopefully, nothings changed.

Shrugging, I headed upstairs to Jumba's room. Maybe he's asleep or something. As I reached the doorframe, I heard a fimiliar voice.

"Psst! 399, what are ya doin'?!"

I didn't need to ask who it was. Cosmo. Oh yay. I frowned at him as he stuck his head out from under Pleakley's bed.

"Whats da metter wiv ya?" he asked, running toward me and grabing me by the paw. "Get under here!"

I frowned as I was roughtly pushed under the bed. Cosmo crawled in after me.

I looked at him "Whats going-"

He pushed a hand to my mouth. "Be quiet!" he whispered, looking nervous.

I shoved his hand away. "What!"

"Hunkahunka's on da lose."
I raised an eyebrow. "Hunka who?"

"Hunkahunka. Dat experiment dat looks like a hummin' bird!"

"Yeah. What about it?"

"He's on da lose!"

I tilted my head. I didn't know what the big deal was. "So?"

Cosmo stared at me. "So?! If he pecks ya, ya fall in love wiv da first person ya see!" he leant away from me. "Uh...ya havn't been pecked, have ya?"

I shook my head. "Naga!"

He breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh good." he peeked around the sheets.

I rolled my eyes and laid on my back. "So...where is everyone?"

"Lilo and Stitch are in deir room, Pleakley's hiding in the cupboard under da sink, and he can stay dere for all I care, and Jumba's tryin' to catch Hummin' Bird Boy." he rested his head on his hand.

I stared at him. "But...what if Jumba's pecked?"

Cosmo shrugged. "I dunno. I don't really care to be honest. Pleakley said Quelta Quanian skin is really fick."

I frowned. That makes perfect sense. Not. I layed back down.

There was a silence. A long one. I didn't like it. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Cosmo glance at me. I frowned slightly. Please cach Hunkahunka soon, Jumba.

I looked over at Cosmo. He was fiddling with his fingers. Don't ask me why. Suddenly, he spoke. Yay! The silence was broken!

"Uhh...ya know dat whole 'Never Shoulda Been Created' ting?" he asked.

I pouted. "Yeah." I said grumpily. I didn't want to go there!

"Heh. Yeah...'bout dat. I, uhh, never shoulda said dat." he lowered his ears and looked at the floor.

I tilted my head. This was...odd. From the short time I'd known Cosmo, he never acted like this. All shy and quiet. Normally, he'd look for any reason to bag me out. I'm seriously confused. "Uhh, what?"

He looked at me again. "Look. What...what I'm tryin' to say is..."

I looked up, interested. "Yeah?"

"I...I'm...I'm sorry." He looked away, making me grin.

"Awww. I never knew you were so sensitive."

He turned his head to look at me so fast that his ears swung over his shoulders. "I am not sensitive!" he growled. "Besides...It wasn't my idea to apologise. Well, not all of it."

I smirked. "Oh really? And exactly how much of it was your idea?"

He furrowed an eyebrow, thinking. "Well...If ya put it outta a hundred...60 was Jumba's idea, and 40 aws mine." he grinned cheekily.

"And do you think it'd be a good idea to start using my name when you refer to me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

He placed a hand on his chin, pretending to think. "Let me tink. Uhh...no!" he burst out laughing.

I rolled my eyes. Trust Cosmo to say no to that. Oh well. You can't have everything. I'll just have to get used to being called by my pod number. I looked up as he cleared his throat.

"I, uhh, I've also been tinkin' 'bout what Lilo said 'bout us becomin' friends."

"Yeah?" I asked, tilting my head.

He looked at me and grinned. "Let me ask ya a question. Do ya like Angel?"

I held back a laugh. Yeah right. She tried to turn me evil. "No. Not really."

"Well den. Anyone who hates Angel is a friend of mine!"

Rhanee doesn't hate Angel. She just doesn't like her...at...all.

Ho hum...

I laughs at Cosmo being shy.

D'awwwww. hugs him
