Chapter 3: The Promise ritual
All the preparations have been made and the ohana had started to arrive.
Stitch's POV:
I think this ceremony is a great idea to strengthen my relationship with Angel; she seems very excited to take this next step. I am still upset she waited for so long to get my ring, but it tells me she went through a lot of effort; this proves her commitment and love for me. All this day will prove is our loyalty towards each other. I see Angel approaching me, not the least bit nervous which makes this even more memorable for me seeing Angel's smile; it's like Hawaii itself, beautiful and tranquil.
The ceremony starts.
Angel's POV:
Stitch and I face one another; this promise ceremony is based on the traditions of our species. In accordance with our tradition I bow to Stitch to show him respect as the Alpha in this relationship. Then I rise and Stitch uses his sharp claws to carve my face on a nearby palm tree. And lastly he removes one of his back spines and then hands it to me in the form of a pearl necklace. Traditionally this symbolises what pain the male will go through for the love and affection of his mate.
I see Stitch trying to fight back his tears as he places the back spine necklace around my neck.
"I love you boojibu", says Stitch as he puts his promise ring on Angel's claw. It's a ring made of Jade.
Stitch's POV:
Now it's Angel's turn to put her ring on my claw - it's a great ring I guess, but I don't know rings. She took out the ring and she was about to put it on when I collapsed and everything went black.
