I'm Sorry Pearla…
ElectricCircuslover: This was made towards someone who I was stupid enough to lose because of my actions...

It was another sunny day on the island of Kauai. Shadow spent his time sitting on the ledge facing the ocean from the cliff side. He was crying blood into his knees with his wings wrapping him up like a cocoon as he buried his face in his arms.
The bushes behind the bench rustled until a pink Angel-like born Experiment came out of the bush.
"Shadow?" Andy said, walking up to the winged cocoon.
"I've messed up badly, Andy. Don't look at me," Shadow cried, keeping his body surrounded with his fleshy black wings.
"I heard what happened. Pearla and Marzzel are a bit upset right now that you killed their dog, Kenneth. Why did you do it?" The pink b-x inquired, sitting next to the wing cocoon.
"Because the damn dog was chewing on my doll, Mom. I lost control when I saw it happened," the black alien opened his wings, facing Andy, "I thought it would be safe to bring my doll since Pearla had Kindy sitting around on the couch most of the time. I feel stupid, Andy."
"It's still a stupid reason to get upset, Shadow. I warned you about your temper. I tell you to not do this and that but you give me your word and then you do it anyways out of anger. It's your fault Pearla is upset. Couldn't you bring the dog back to life or something? You've done it before with the town's people many years ago when Shadow Stitch and Shade attacked the island."
"The problem with bring things back to life is it requires a lot of power and life force. Power I have but I'm dead so there's no life force to spare. Plus, I'm sure God wouldn't want that. It doesn't help the fact that I accidently scratched the dog so it I brought it back to life it would've mutated. Do we really need an outbreak on this island, Andy? I didn't think so," Shadow frowned.
"Look Shadow, talk to Pearla and apologize. Don't expect her to just forgive you. If she doesn't forgive you, then think of this as a lesson and let time heal itself, but don't expect her to just forget what you had done to her. Okay?" Andy patted his back.
"I understand, brother," Shadow said before fading away into smoke.
(Pearla and Marzzel's House)
A bolt of lightning hit the ground formed a Stitch being. Shadow was fully formed and walked towards the blue house with the red door. The bushes followed the concrete sidewalk from both sides towards the house for a short distance. Flowers grew in front of the house while a swing set stood next to the tree in front of a fence surrounding the yard. The house was a two story house with a few windows on the right and left of the front of the building. Near the top of the house had a round circle for a window near the red tiled roof.
Shadow knocked on the door but didn't get any answer. He pressed the doorbell and it rang a short jingle.
The door opened and a light blue stitch-like Experiment with access skin down her slender body for gliding and small antenna on her head. She has pretty blue eyes but quickly turned to anger when she saw the black Stitch-like Experiment standing at the door way with his hands folded together.
"Haven't you done enough damage? Go away, I don't want to see you," the female Experimented growled.
"I wanted to come by and apologize for what I had done. I didn't mean to kill your dog. I 'm really, really sorry, Pearla. I should've handled myself better," Shadow apologized.
Pearla crossed her arms, "You say that now but I'm sure you'll do it again with the next dog. How about I eat your cat and see how sorry you'll actually feel after that? You took a friend away from me and I'll never have them replaced by your actions. You wouldn't know loss because you're too self-centered to care about anyone else but yourself. You think you can walk up to me, apologize, and expect to be forgiven? No, I'm not forgiving you. This conversation is over," Pearla said angrily, trying to close the door but Shadow stopped the door.
"MARZZEL!" Pearla called out.
"I'm really sorry, Pearla. I really am. Please give me another chance. I promise I'll be a better friend," Shadow whined.
"It's too late, Shadow. You just have to live with the guilt and frankly I have no sympathy left for you. Now leave before Marzzel forces you to leave.
Shadow vanished in disappointment and reappeared at the cliffs again.
"You weren't gone long," Andy grumbled.
"She didn't forgive me. I'm so stupid, Andy," Shadow cried, having blood fill his face.
"Well, next time you won't let your anger get the best of you. All this could've been avoided if you just listened to me. The best you can do is move on and live with the guilt. I'm sorry, Shadow. I don't know what more I can do for you," the Angel-replica said, leaving Shadow to weep alone.
