Forgiveness Is Hard To Ask For

A/N Here's more

Mahalo to Kitten630 and Stitch800 for their reviews.

I'm doing something in this chapter that Stitch800 suggested in a review

Moopey woke up as the early morning sun poured through the living room window as she tossed off the blanket and ran to the Big Red Battleship. She smiled seeing Leroy asleep chewing on a rubber toy. She was surprised to see that but laughed softly as Jumba watched his little creation sleeping soundly.

He knew Moopey still didn't trust him after what happened in the lab the day she was created but was more comfortable around Leroy and Kaimi but she was slowly coming out of her shell.

"Ih Leroy is getting stable and responding well to the medication.

I know you helped him wake up from the coma he was in." he told her as she smiled sadly stroking Leroy's fur but didn't want to wake him up.

"Yes I know." she said softly leaving him to work.

She then went into the house and into the kitchen but saw Lilo there making breakfast.

"You're up early.

It's okay Moopey, you can trust me.

Besides I know how you've felt and what you've gone through." she told the female experiment.

"You...... have?" she asked.

"Yes I do.

When I was younger, the popular girls were always mean to me no matter how hard I tried, they were still mean to me and I felt alone until I met Stitch and that's when things turned around for the better." she explained to her but Moopey understood how Lilo was like her.

"Maybe I can trust her." she thought as she hugged her.

Lilo was surprised by that but understood.......

Kaimi was amazed that Leroy was beginning to heal but the Quanta virus would never leave his brother's body and would still need help to keep it under control but noticed he was quiet as he watched Jumba give Leroy the next dose of his medicine but saw the older brother shiver in fear but smiled hugging him. Jumba and the others had been surprised but liking some of the changes that were happening to Leroy because of the virus.

"Is Moopey okay?

I was worried about her.

I had a dream about her." he told them.

"Yes she's okay but you can't go near the others yet." Jumba told him as Leroy understood.

He hoped she was okay but heard the ship door open as they left but Moopey came in with a plate of pancakes.

"Thanks buchee bu." he said eating and getting maple syrup over his lips.

"No problem Leroy.

I care about you deeply." she said stroking his fur.

He liked that feeling that flowed through him when she did that.

Jumba noticed that Yuri was very quiet and talked to Lilo a lot but he noticed the girl liked being with Moopey and so did the female experiment and she had an idea about Yuri. But she wanted to ask Jumba about it but was afraid. Leroy had supported it seeing how much she cared about Moopey.

She then found the Quanta Quaglian in his basement lab and had gathered up the courage to speak to him.

"Yes Moopey what is it?" he asked removing his goggles.

"I was thinking about adopting Yuri as my own daughter.

We're perfect for each other and we had a broken family.

I wanted to ask you before going through with it." she told him.

Jumba smiled.

"Jumba hoping you do that for Yuri.

She would like that too.

You should go talk to her when she comes back from hula school." he told her.

Moopey nodded in reply leaving.

She hoped Yuri would like that idea as she left the lab.....

Lilo sighed as she was talking to Moses at the hula school.

It'd been Yuri's first day at Kauai Hula School but some of the girls like Myrtle's daughter had been making fun of her and Moses had to step in but Lilo understood how hard it was for Yuri right now, moving to an new place and being part of an new ohana.

Yuri was quiet on the ride home in the car.

Lilo sighed and hoped things would be okay.

But Yuri smiled a little as the car stopped outside the Pelekai house.

Lilo watched her get out of the car and into the house as she followed her inside but Reuben watched as Yuri ran upstairs and slammed the door to her room shut.

"What's up with her?" he asked Lilo as she sighed.

"There was trouble at school because of Myrtle's daughter and her stupid group.

Yuri needs help.

But maybe you and Moopey can help her." she told the golden brown experiment as she went into the kitchen.

But he saw Moopey go upstairs....

Yuri was sitting on her bed as she was listening to music but heard the door open softly as Moopey came in.

The female experiment saw sadness in her eyes.

"Rough day huh?" she said.

"Yeah.

The popular girls were being mean to me because I'm different and have a mind.

I feel a little sad right now.

They don't understand." she told her.

"They're just jealous Yuri but there's something I want to tell you.

I...... want you to be my daughter.

We go good together and we're the same in spirit but you haven't been yourself since your mother and Obaa left and I figured it would be good if we could be ohana even though we're not related.

What do you think?" Moopey said to her.

There was silence for a while.

"I'd like that a lot Moopey.

I had a feeling you cared about me when we first met.

We would be perfect ohana." she told her.

Moopey agreed as she left the girl alone for now.

Jumba saw Lilo getting ready to leave and wondered where she was going.

She had a job at the Birds of Paradise hotel like Nani and didn't want to be late.

"I need you and Pleakley to keep an eye on things here especially Yuri and Leroy.

No blowing up anything or giving any of the young experiments candy or sugar, okay?" she told her uncle.

"Ih Lilo.

Jumba understand.

Good luck." he said as she left but somebody entered the house that made Reuben nervous.

It was Miko, his son but wondered what he was doing here.

But he decided to keep Miko hidden from Lilo and the others but noticed Miko looked upset but angry.

He had a feeling something went wrong but decided to let it go as he saw Miko with Krista. Miko was now thirteen years old in experiment years but looked the same in appearance but seemed sad somehow as the two siblings were playing with Sukai and the others but had a feeling it was to do with Amore but knew they'd need to have a talk.

"How did you get here Miko?

I thought you were on Turo.

It's been a long while since we saw each other." the golden brown experiment said to his son.

But there was a sad look in his eyes.

"I escaped from there Dad, okay?

By using a transporter and inputting the data for Earth.

I was feeling alone since Mom left.

I wanted to be with you after we left for Turo but........" the lime green furred experiment said.

"But what Miko?

You can tell me.

We are ohana after all." Rueben told him.

"She said you didn't want me and hated me.

I know that's not true but still hurt when she said that." he answered leaving the room and going upstairs.

Rueben felt sorry for Miko but growled hearing what Amore had told Miko.

"No wonder he's so sad and quiet.

Amore hurt him badly in the heart.

I don't hate you Miko.

I've loved you since the day Maru created you.

I still want you." he thought sighing as he entered the kitchen.

He hoped that Miko would feel better soon.......
