A week had past by. Hardly anyone had seen Stitch at the house. Whenever someone asked him where he was going he would give a weak smile and reply, "Setting up island for buchi bu, for Valentine's Day." Then he would run out the door leaving whoever it was he was just talking to in utter confusion. For only Stitch, Angel, and Romeo knew of the island, let alone its whereabouts.
Angel had very unattractive scabs on her sides where Stitch had cut her. She had to stay in bed because of this, for the scabs would easily break and blood would break loose. Stitch visited her in his spare time, trying to help her in anyway he could. He felt that everything was his fault (even though it wasn't) and wanted to make it up to her. Maria, Lilo and Victoria had fun playing 'nurse' with Angel.
Sassy would stay in her cage often; even though she was now aloud out of it. She helped in the kitchen a lot, feeling that Pleakly was the only one she could talk to. Twice she went into the crying and hugging circle thing. It felt good to have a hug from Spike. Not that she had any feelings for him. It just feels good to her to have a hug when you're feeling down.
Romeo was fully healed and was busy on his own island that he found building a 'feel good' shop. Since he was an experiment and had some help from Richter, Kixx, and Splodey-Head, all they had left to do is paint and put in furniture. Stitch and Angel forgave him, considering a lot of the male population felt the need to have sex with her.
Mertle still wanted Maria to be part of her posse. After each expedition Maria, Lilo and Victoria would be in balls of laughter. They'd make bets over coca-cola over if Mertle would pester them that day or not. It was really quite . . . funny.
At the current moment Lilo, Maria, and Victoria were walking to hula school. Their bags flung over their shoulders carrying their things. They were talking about how Maria's 'dog' was still in bad condition, but was healing, slowly.
" . . . I can't believe it can take THAT long to heal." Victoria continued. Lilo looked down.
"She was cut very deep." She replied. Maria took notice to Lilo's look of uncomfort.
It wasn't Lilo's fault, Lilo was aware of that, but it was her best alien friend's fault which made her feel bad.
She was also glum that Stitch wouldn't give Sassy a chance. If Lilo was talking with him and Sassy entered the room, he would suddenly need to leave and push Sassy out of his way. He would then continue with sniffing the air as if he smelled something revolting and strode out of the room. Sassy would lie on the ground crestfallen with her ears drooped as low as they can get. Because of this, her pride has shattered.
Lilo was never sure if she should give up or not on convincing Stitch that Sassy is good and can be their friend. At the moment, things are looking bleak.
Maria smiled reassuring her friend that Angel and herself were, indeed, not angry with her. Lilo smiled gratefully.
"Well, she is getting better. The not-as-deep cuts are almost skin instead of scabs! And her fur has already grown back in those areas!" Maria exclaimed in happiness. She couldn't wait till Angel could play with her again.
Sure, she enjoyed her new friends a lot, but Angel was her first friend ever. She'd always have a special place in her heart. Angel was like, the older sister she'd never have! So watching her in pain every day in the past week made her drown in sympathy.
