The Door on a Beach [EDITING]

Chapter 7: Desserts

Lilo

-

Lilo turned away from the waiters and waitresses, eyes pulling away from them. She could feel herself being looked at and made to face the source. They weren't just any eyes, like the several glaring at her this very moment. They were the eyes she had felt earlier. The eyes of adoration, but no longer.

She had seen a girl with black hair and a pink shirt. Now all Lilo saw was a girl who dresses as though she hadn't changed outfits since she were a baby, and for all Lilo knew she hadn't. This morning she had seen a beautiful young girl with stars for eyes. Now all she saw were cold hazel eyes. She matched the look. The aura of confidence was something that hadn't been there earlier but clearly nothing about this girl was as simple as what she had seen in class. Nothing about her was that simple either. No matter how strong the aura was though, Lilo recognized it all too well. It was short lived and would diminish before long. Lilo absorbed the feeling, making her confidence much more permanent.

Stitch looked up at her as he realized she was no longer demanding food. "Pie?"

Lilo ignored him, her narrow eyed focus closing in on the girl. She couldn't recall her name and honestly couldn't care less. She was in lots of her classes, except for first and maybe last. She would find out when she bothered to show up for that one. Calling her girl suited just fine because judging from her clothes, she was far from being a woman.

"Lilo," The girl began not entirely sure what she was going to say. The talking had hardly even begun and she was already finding this encounter comical. She couldn't even start them off, apparently she had to do everything around here.

"Yes, darling." Lilo drawled. She slapped on a mock girl and gave her a slight curtsy. Flustered, the girls already rosy cheeks flushed to an even darker crimson. This was too easy, but fun. Never was taking revenge not fun. Revenge on who, she thought. The girl or Nani? It didn't matter either way since this was the way to do it. It was punishment for thinking that she could ever replace her.

The pink wearing girl began to stutter. "You-You can't -You can't be here." She had a slight lisp that Lilo had failed to notice earlier. Now that she wasn't distracted by her hair or eyes or perfectly formed lips. Stop. She needed to focus and now she was seeing all that was wrong with the girl.

"Why not? I am honored among aliens." She paused. "What planet this is, I don't know as your all odd but I'm hungry and you should honor me as your queen." She didn't add the part where she was merely greatly respected and she was mostly popular in the sense that many wanted her dead. Or that she had technically banished to earth with Stitch.

"What are you talking about?" She cocked her head, scanning her then Stitch. "It doesn't matter. You should go." Why was she so confused, it wasn't like she was playing hard to understand, she was merely twisting the truth.

"But, darling! I haven't eaten all day. Do you wish me to starve?" Lilo clutched her stomach dramatically, doubling over for effect. She had chosen the biggest most expensive restaurant she could find in order to get food.

Stitch feigned his death as though he was about to keel over from starvation.

"Okay, but quickly. You can't stay long." How could Nani possibly have this girl become her replacement, she was mental!

Lilo plopped down, cross-legged on the table as the girl turned around in defeat. It really was a loss for her. She had given in so easily, just letting her take over the restaurant. Lilo smirked as the purple medusa like alien stood violently.

The smaller alien, that was sitting across from her looked up at her with his one big eye. He was an odd little thing, round as a beachball and the size of one too. He had one big eye covering nearly his entire body, leaving enough room for a large mouth, full of rounded teeth. Two little horns sat atop his head looking rather pathetic along with two noodle arms on the sides and 2 spaghetti legs beneath him.
