Stitch in Radiant Garden

Blow Your Own Horn

(A.N. I am not to be held responsible for Cid's mouth)

"We've met."

Leon's words hung in the air dramatically as Yuffie stared to look slightly uneasy.

"Okay, so what's the worst that could happen! It's just a small blue thing!" Yuffie asked loudly and crossed her arms, wondering what was up with Leon.

Leon was silent as he regarded Yuffie for a few seconds, not answering her. This annoyed Yuffie as she started to walk back toward him and got right in his face, her curiosity driving her to know what Leon was not telling her.

"Come on! Tell me Squall! What's the worst thing that could possibly happen?" Yuffie pestered, "I'm not going to leave you alone until you tell me." She stubbornly informed him.

"We should return to the Restoration Committee." Leon simply said, ignoring her pestering, and began to walk back to the Committee building. Yuffie, true to her word, followed after him.

Little did Leon and Yuffie know that Tifa and Aerith had already brought the creature of mass destruction back with them to the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee Headquarters.

Stitch looked around the large building and saw that there was a man sitting in front of a large computer right in front of him, bordered by a few chalkboards that had various things scribbled on them. In the middle of the room was a sort of pedestal thing with a table on it and next to that was a bed. There was a door that had been installed a few feet away from the bed on the left wall from were Stitch was.

"Now we just need to wait for Cloud to get back," Aerith said cheerfully as she continued to hold Stitch, "I'll make some tea."

"Now that sounds good." Tifa agreed and smiled, pushing a few strands of hair behind one of her ears. "I'll hold on to him so you can do that, alright?" Tifa offered.

"Thank you." Aerith smiled and passed the blue, fluffy experiment to Tifa, who held him against herself, with both her arms crossed over him. Aerith walked over to the table in the middle of the room and placed the messenger bag down on top of it before going into the kitchen.

Stitch waited till Aerith was in the kitchen before looking up at Tifa, who was walking over to the man working at the large computer.

"Cid, we're back." Tifa said while she leaned to the side of him, cocking her head.

Cid grunted in acknowledgement and didn't look up, continuing to type quickly. Stitch was reminded of Jumba when he was working for some reason. Stitch noticed that the man had a cigarette in his mouth, which he was biting down on.

Stitch snatched the cigarette right out of Cid's mouth and ate it, then started coughing loudly with a grossed out face as Tifa stared down in horror.

It took Cid a few moments to notice that his one of his precious cigarettes was no longer in his mouth. But when he did…

"What the hell just happened to my goddamned cigarette!" Cid cursed loudly as he spun around. His eyes narrowed into an angry glare as he noticed the coughing Stitch.

"The hell is that thing!" Cid demanded to know, standing up and looking between Tifa and Stitch.

"Uh, this thing is Stitch and he… well… I don't know what happened to your cigarette." Tifa said carefully. She was disproved when Stitch spat Cid's cigarette right back in his face. Then Stitch jumped out of Tifa's arms and landed on the keyboard of the computer and proceeded to scuttle around on it, pressing numerous keys and messing up whatever Cid had been working on.

Tifa gasped and quickly scooped Stitch back up and held him tightly, using quite a bit her of her great strength to keep the struggling Stitch in her grasp. She looked quickly at the computer to see that whatever keys Stitch had pressed had completely overloaded the computer, Cid would have to start all over again.
