Angel was fully healed, and right on time for Valentines Day. She was waiting in bed. Stitch had promised her a special surprise. She couldn't wait. Her heart felt jittery. Her hands shook as she held his present. It was coconut cake. She had baked it recently. She smiled to herself.
She had quite a lot of fun yesterday, running around with Bonnie. Bonnie had showed her a work out gym, and then they practiced kick-boxing with Kixx. Though she didn't have a match with anyone. She needed to get rid of her stored up energy from those past two weeks. She snuggled into her fluffed up pillow. Stitch still was not there.
As if answering her thoughts he appeared through the window carrying a red rose with water drops on its petals in his mouth. He had a shimmering silver box that was a present for her. She smiled at him. He smiled with he roses stem still in his mouth.
He climbed the wall over to her bed and dropped from the ceiling. He handed Angel the flower and present. "Aloha buchi bu." He smiled. She purred in content.
"Hello." She held out the cake to him. His eyes shown with hunger for the cake and he quickly gobbled it in one bite. "Did you even taste it?" Angel asked with a chuckle.
"Ih." He answered. He pointed at Angel's wrapped present. "Open." He commanded. She carefully peeled off the sliver wrapping paper. She smiled at what lay before her.
In a glass box was a pure gold, heart shaped locket. Angel opened the locket. Inside was a picture of none other than Stitch. She giggled for he was trying to look proper in the picture, but his tie was on backwards and he had a bit of coffee droplets on his face. She decided to save him from embarrassment.
"Buchi bu ready?" Stitch asked. Angel stared at him.
"For what?" she asked confused at his mischief smile. He did not answer. He simply picked her up bridal style and walked up the wall and out the window he came from, smiling.
Lilo and Maria sat on the couch in Lilo's house watching reruns of TV shows. The house was glum. Nani and David were out on a date. Stitch was taking Angel somewhere. Pleakly was trying out new ways to perfect his human disguise and Jumba was doing something that they weren't aloud to know about.
Maria suddenly burst into tears. Lilo jumped up. "Maria, what's wrong?" she asked. Maria looked at Lilo in the eye. Her eyes were crystaled with tears.
"I-I'm . . . I-I wish . . . I miss Angel!" Her tears came down harder. "I-I'm h-happy for Angel and Stitch but they h-hardly ever h-have t-time to play w-with us." Maria sobbed. Lilo blinked, absorbing all of this in.
She felt the same way. Stitch never played vampire hunters anymore. He didn't read the ugly duckling to her at night. He was always too busy with Angel. Sure, Angel was her friend, but Stitch never had free time with her anymore. Lilo blinked again. Now she was crying.
"I'm sad too." Lilo admitted. "I'm happy for them, but I wish that they weren't so obsessed." Tears welled up in their eyes. They missed their friends company.
Maria hugged Pasid close to her chest. Lilo did the same with Scrump. They couldn't get that gut feeling out of their stomach.
Their throats felt clenched. They felt like they would throw up. And somewhat dizzy from their tears. They weren't jealous, they were something worse.
