Forgiveness Is Hard To Ask For
A/N Here's more.
Mahalo to Stitch80000 for reviewing.
Moopey was lying on the couch with a blanket over her later that night but was worried about Leroy but had been having an nightmare as she let her mind wander. But she saw Jumba enter the house.
He knew that she was different from the other experiments and hadn't powers but he'd found something out on his computer about her and wanted to tell Moopey but was afraid because he knew she didn't trust him but trusted Leroy and Kaimi along with Rueben.
He then had an idea as he went into the kitchen to make himself a cup of warm milk.
"There must be a way of earning Moopey's trust." he thought leaving the kitchen but Moopey had heard that.
She then left the house through the dog door and ran to the Big Red Battleship.
Leroy wasn't in the fusion chamber but was in the fold down bed in cosy black pyjamas and a sleeping cap. Moopey relaxed seeing her.
"Did I wake you?
Soka." she said to him.
"Naga wake me.
Leroy..... couldn't sleep." he said coughing slightly.
"I wonder why he couldn't sleep?
Probably worried." she thought.
"Had sad dreams.
Leroy feeling alone especially at party.
Cousins afraid of meega." he answered softly as he looked away.
The virus was making him worse again without the medicine.
"Will you be okay...... until Jumba makes more of the medicine?" Moopy asked him as she climbed in beside him.
"Ih I hope." he answered softly as he stroked her gently.
But instantly he was out like a light.
She smiled softly at that.
"Goodnight Leroy." she whispered falling asleep...
In a prison cell Hamsterviel smiled activating the transporter he'd hidden in his cell which the guards hadn't found but he knew that Leroy was on Kauai and wanted him but didn't know he had the Quanta virus or that he'd lost most of his powers but it wouldn't matter as he vanished from prison....
Lilo saw Kaimi sitting at the table with Rueben in the kitchen playing Go Fish and drinking coffee while waiting for the rest of the family to wake up but they were talking about something in Turian and it was about Leroy but stopped talking about it as they noticed Lilo was there.
"Morning.
What were you guys doing up at this time of the morning?
Rueben normally sleeps in and Kaimi you're normally helping Kayden.
Is something going on?" Lilo told them.
"Nah we felt like getting up besides Brianna's in the bed with Marina." Rueben answered.
But they saw a smile on Jumba's face as he entered in his pyjamas and wondered what was going on.
"What has you in a good mood Dr J?" Rueben asked him curiously.
"Moopy was in the fold down bed with Leroy sleeping beside her with their arms around each other's waists.
Very cute." Jumba answered as they chuckled.
But they stopped seeing Moopey come into the house but she looked nervous.
Rueben understood along with Kaimi how being in an new place felt.
Morning guys.
How did you sleep?" the female experiment told them.
"Good." Kaimi told her but saw her hide under the table as Lilo entered the kitchen.
"I guess she's just shy around others but from what I overheard Jumba say, she's not shy around Leroy.
Maybe he can help bring her out of her shell." she thought as she heard laughter as Sukai and the other young experiments were waking up.
Reuben saw Moopey vanish and leave the house but they had a feeling she went to be with Leroy where she felt safe.
Kaimi agreed with him as they saw them run in but saw Brianna was a little sad.
She had trouble making friends like Moopey..
Jumba sighed as he left the house and went to the Big Red Battleship......
Hamsterviel smiled as he landed on Kauai because he wanted to get Leroy back.
He remembered the power he'd felt with the red furred experiment and wanted to take over the universe but was unaware that Leroy had been affected by the Quanta virus but the gerbil like alien snickered as he began to plan.
He knew once he had Leroy back, the universe would be his......
Jumba smiled walking into the Big Red Battleship seeing Leroy asleep with his arms curled around the pillow but his fur was around it after falling off. Moopey was watching him sleep invisibly but smiled seeing him sleep because he looked so peaceful. She still didn't trust Jumba but hoped he would make more of the Quanta virus medicine to help him.
"Why doesn't she show herself?" Jumba muttered as he was working on the medicine.
Leroy's eyes opened hearing that.
"Moopey just shy.
She trusts me and Kaimi." he replied to him.
"Why doesn't she trust me?
Jumba did create her after all." Jumba told him.
"She sad because she has no powers.
Other experiments not like her.
Like Angel, remember?" Leroy told his creator coughing as Jumba gave him some flu pills.
Jumba sighed at that.
He remembered that he hadn't finished Moopey before he was captured by the Galatic Alliance but wanted to help her.
He then heard the videophone ring as Leroy hid under the bed covers as he answered it.
He saw the Grand Council Woman on the screen and wondered what was wrong.
"Hamsterviel has escaped from prison.
I have a feeling he's looking for Leroy but you assured me he was far away, right?" she said.
"Ih.
Don't worry.
If Hamsterviel shows up, we'll take care of him." Jumba answered as he hung up.
He saw Leroy shiver as he poked his head out of the covers but he'd lost more fur.
Jumba didn't blame him for being a little afraid.
"Don't worry Leroy.
Hamsterviel isn't getting his hands on you." Jumba told him as the red furred experiment.
Lilo smiled as she saw Reuben and Kaimi leaving and wondered where they were going but she had a feeling they were going to see Leroy but she knew that the red furred experiment was beginning to change maybe for the better and if that was true, she'd be happy to welcome him into the ohana but she wasn't sure. Jumba had told her that the Quanta virus could affect an experiment's behaviour as well as weakening and eliminating it's powers except for their indestructibllity and their extra arms, antennae and spines but she had another theory for Leroy's behaviour and it was to do with Moopey.
Kaimi knew that Moopey and Leroy had been together since a month ago and they seemed to be really good friends but sometimes he had a feeling they were more than that but wasn't sure.
He then saw fear in Jumba's eyes as he and Reuben entered the Big Red Battleship.
"What's up Dr J?" Rueben asked as Leroy hid under the covers seeing the golden brown experiment but Kaimi coaxed him out.
Reuben saw Moopey appear beside Leroy.
"I have some bad news.
Hamsterviel is out of prison and he's after Leroy.
He wants to use him but doesn't know he's affected by the Quanta virus.
We have to stop him.
I'm also working on a few other projects." Jumba answered as they understood but were worried.
But they noticed how calm Moopey was around Leroy.
Reuben saw the computer and smirked seeing Moopey's profile and realised Jumba was working on the rest of her powers.
He knew she'd be happy but heard Marina calling him.......
