A Wolf in Lilo's Clothing
Part 11
The Truth Reveals Itself
Nani woke to cold hard steel touching her feet. Looking around she saw everyone was still asleep, well everyone she could see. Sitting up she looked over to see that Lilo was still covered in fur, what she was also surprised to see was that stitch had wrapped his arms around her like he was never going to let her go.
She was glad she had her clothing in, because it was surprisingly cold in the ship. leaving the passenger section she made her way to the medical wing where Hamish was last seen. walking in she saw that Hamish was breathing steadily and she heard the heart monitor was beeping steadily.
She just stood their wondering how she should feel about this man. Here he was lying on this medical bed, where just last night he tried to kill Lilo. Admittedly she was a werewolf and so was expected to be violent and vicious, so he could probably be forgiving. But why did he go to all this trouble to kill a werewolf?
It was here that she heard the door open. turning around she saw Jumba standing their.
"bigger girl what are you up to?"
"oh Jumba. I can't figure out why Hamish would go to all this length just to kill one animal. Sure it was a werewolf, and they're suppose to be evil and everything, but why would he do it?"
"well I believe I can be helping you. You see, I did some research on nice man, you know to make sure he wasn't allergic to anything. Anyway, I stumbled across a news report involving him. a little girl about Lilo's age was lost in the woods and Hamish was one of the people to search for her. It took him two days of constant searching before he found her. Well her remains anyway. All that was left of her where several pieces of body parts here and their, and blood. No bones, no recognisable organs, just blood and a few scraps of meat.
"the news report says that he had missed her by about a day and a half, and he never forgave himself for it. he resigned from the army after that and worked at the hotel where you have been staying, though he still keeps in contact with his superiors every so often. That is why he tried so hard to kill little girl, he wanted to redeem himself in his eyes for his failure."
Hearing this Nani just quietly shock her head. She had her suspicions that his past had an unpleasant part to it, but she didn't think it could be so sad. She now under stood why he looked after Lilo so carefully.
Sighing to herself she reflected the trip. It was a really good trip, even with the boring convention. She learned a lot about Scottish culture and had a newfound respect for their determination. Especially the determination Hamish showed her.
Looking back to Jumba she saw that he was looking over some printouts from a printer,
"well it looks like nice man will make a full recovery. Should be up and on his feet again within the next couple of hours. Now let us go to the hotel and collect your belongings. By the time we get back I am hoping everyone should be up."
"ok Jumba, but how do we get their? I'm pretty sure they would have cleaned our room of anything that was in their."
"I've managed to locate nice mans car about 10 minuets walk from here. It's a simple matter of just following the signposts to the hotel. After that I can re-trace our journey back here" Jumba finished as he held up a pair of car keys and collected his laptop from a nearby counter.
It was well into the afternoon before Nani and Jumba came back from their trip. It was strange but for some reason the room that Nani, stitch and Lilo where sleeping in was actually booked for them until the end of this evening. In other words they still had the room for another few hours and so nothing was moved from it. Nani had just assumed it was Hamish who did it. In any case it made it much easier for her to collect all their belongings.
When they got back to the ship Nani was pleased to see that Lilo was up and was completely furless. Well not completely; she still had the problem of a tail and the fact that her pupils where still shaped like cat eyes, but that was all that was different. Her eye colour was back to its lovely shade of brown (I think that s Lilo's eye colour), and her ears where back where they belonged.
Hamish was also up and changed back into his fatigues. He was still deeply sorry for everything that had happened and he insisted that he take them out for a proper Scottish dinner as a way of saying sorry. The family, of course, told him that it wasn't necessary but Hamish was having none of it, so the family agreed to it. it wasn't because they where afraid of Scottish cooking that they tried to turn him down, but more the prospect of seeing the bill for an all paid for meal with Jumba.
Well when seven came around, everyone filed into Hamish's car. Well, actually Hamish had to make two trips; one for all the family, then a second for Jumba. It was a little embarrassing but it was soon forgotten when everyone sat down at the restaurant. Looking all around her, and at the menu, Nani defiantly didn't want to see the bill at the end of the meal. Still quite a lot of the menu did sound very nice.
The meal went by just like any other meal. The food was very different from Hawaii but surprisingly just as nice if not nicer. It was hard to tell because of the fact that the food was that different, and the fact that everything tastes nicer when you don't have it all the time. The only thing that Hamish did that you would not call 'normal' for a meal was that he ordered an extra dish for the whole table to try; haggis.
He was very insistent that everyone tried at least a fork full before he even told them what was in it. stitch was the first to try it, minus Hamish of course, and he really did enjoy it. but then again their weren't many things that stitch did not enjoy eating. Nani was the next person to try it, and she found it rather refreshing thanks to its unusual texture and flavours.
Jumba went next, and was surprised to find that it was similar to the stuff that he had during the all you can eat competition back on Hawaii. Lilo was the second last person to try it, and she found it very much to her liking. Though she could not tell if it was the wolf side of her talking of not.
Pleakly was the last person to try it, and he as well though that it was a very nice dish, he even though that he had tried it during his travels in university. However his face quickly went to a pale green colour when Hamish told them what it was.
"haggis is basically a sheep's stomach stuffed with barley spices and a whole load of different parts of lamb"
The expressions on the faces of everyone at the table changed dramatically. Stitch just hadn't heard, he was too busy to eating his meal to care what Hamish said. Lilo and Jumba looked at Hamish with a stair that just said "what" before shrugging and went on eating their meal.
Nani was a little surprised, but eventually went back to her meal, though she never did touch the haggis again. Pleakly's face wasn't there. He had run off to the toilet the moment the moment Hamish mentioned the sheep's stomach.
"ha ha ha, I guess he isn't as superior as he thinks. Sigh to be honest though I am going to miss you guys. I've had a more worthwhile experience with you guys than I have been for a long time. Heh, but listen to me ramble on. Please, don't let me get you down. Who's up for desert?"
"Oh, me, me!" Lilo and stitch said in unison. Hamish just smiled before getting up to go and get a desert menu.
Before long the evening turned into late night, and after that a brand new day. This day was filled with mystery and uneasiness. Lilo was the uneasiest. What would her friend Victoria think when she finds out she is a werewolf? Should she tell Victoria she's a werewolf? Of course she would. What kind of friend would she be if she didn't? After all, Victoria is reliable; she's kept the secret about stitch and all his cousins being aliens, so she must be! Right?
"well I hope you have a good trip. I'd say 'see you later' but somehow I dought well meet again."
"don't say that Hamish, you never know what the future brings." Lilo said with a smile before she leapt up and gave Hamish a hug. This was sudden, and unexpected, so for a brief moment Hamish had no idea what to do. But that was short lived and he wrapped his arms around her.
Today was a special day and Jumba couldn't be happier about it. There was going to be a major eclipse of the sun that would cover the area where the ship was in total darkness for about 45 seconds. More than enough time to get the ship high enough into the sky for anyone to notice.
"little girl, you had better be wrapping up you goodbyes, eclipse is about to begin." Jumba said before entering his ship.
"goodbye Hamish. Oh and if you see Sasami and Haldamir say goodbye for me." And with that Lilo ran into the ship. Hamish was a little confused at what Lilo was saying, but he didn't let that bother him right now. Right now he had to wave goodbye to his new friends.
It was strange watching the ship prepare to take off. You could actually see its countdown as the moon passed across the sun. if you looked at the forest you could see a blanket of darkness slowly cover all of the forest and probably a lot more if you could see.
However things like this don't last forever and as soon as the blanket covered the space ship the engines started and it took off into the dark sky. Hamish stood there in his camouflage fatigues trying make out the spacecraft fly off. Unfortunately his eyes where still use to the sun, and by the time his eyes adjusted to the darkness, the blanket was already removed and the sun could shine happily once again. As he stood there, someone slowly walked up behind him from the forest.
"are you Lilo's friend called Hamish Mcdoogle?" said a female voice from behind him.
"aye, that I am. And I assume your miss Sasami thanks to your strange appearance, and the fact you know Lilo" Hamish said as he turned around to look at the person who was talking to him.
"Why yes, I am called Sasami. I take it Lilo also told you about Haldamir?"
"No, she just asked me to say goodbye to the both of you for her."
"well if you would be willing to come with me, you can meet Haldamir yourself."
"and why should I trust you?" Hamish said crossing his arms around his chest.
"why else would Lilo ask you to say goodbye to the both of us?"
"you have a point there, and I do trust Lilo. Alright, I'll come with you to meet this Haldamir person" and with that Sasami just smiled before turning around and going back into the woods with Hamish following.
It didn't take more than a few minuets for the family to return to the islands of Hawaii. Fortunately it was still night on the island of Kawaii, so no one saw the bright red space ship land behind the house of Nani and her sister Lilo.
Landing the ship, everyone piled out of the ship. Nani, Lilo and stitch where surprised at how hot the island was. Especially stitch, who was starting to grow a winter coat thanks to the cold temperature of Scotland. Lilo found it quite uncomfortable as well but that was thanks to her 'furry belt' that she had acquired thanks to her trip to Scotland.
The next thing that the family noticed was that they where not tired in the slightest. They where still use to the time that Scotland was running in, so to them it was still midday. Nani knew fine well that getting Lilo to sleep now would be damn near impossible, so all she did was sigh loudly before going into the house and try to get back into her normal sleeping pattern; which was fruitless for quite some time.
Lilo and stitch on the other hand went to the beach to see what it looked like in the middle of the night. The night was full of stars, but the moon was only a quarter full; still it was as beautiful as they remembered. Walking along the coast something inside them was screaming to listen to a piece of them that shouldn't have developed yet. Something that was unknown to stitch, but at the same time, knew very well.
Lilo was miles off thinking about how romantic this setting was, and the only thing missing was Keoni. But then something inside her said that nothing was missing. That everything was perfect. She looked over to stitch and for some reason couldn't help but blush. There was just something about him, and then the worst thing that could happen at that moment happened. Stitch looked over at Lilo. She instantly turned away and was now blushing like crazy.
"umm, Lilo. I don't know why, but for some reason I feel a little light headed" stitch said as he looked at her, not taking his eyes off her, not allowing himself to take his eyes off her.
"Yeah, same here" Lilo said as she slowly returned her eyes to him.
"Do you think there's something wrong with us Lilo?"
"no stitch, I don't think theirs anything wrong with us"
"So then do you know why we feel this way?"
"no, I don't know why. But to be honest, I quite like this feeling."
"yeah, same here. Its like the first time I looked at angel, only infinitely more powerful, and enjoyable."
"yeah, it's the same with me. Well with Keoni instead of angel"
"so what dose that mean? Do you think we are in love? I mean actually love, and not some crush?"
"I, I don't know stitch. And to be honest, right now, I don't care." Lilo said before she placed her head on his shoulder and placed her tail around his stomach. Stitch was a little shocked at the movement, but within a fraction of a nanosecond later, he had placed his around her.
The two of them just stood their and watched the waves slowly go back and forth, back and forth, following the same gentle pattern that they always do. That was the beauty of the sea; you always knew that the water would go back to where it came from, that it would always return to the sea. That it was always reliable in that sense. Looking back over their lives, they have been anything but reliable…except for two things; one, no matter what mess they got into, they managed to get out of it. And two, they always had each other to look out for them.
At some point in all this, they both sat down onto the sand, but their position never changed. Lilo still had her head on stitch's shoulder, and she still had her tail wrapped around him. Stitch still had his arms around her, and he was still enjoying it.
"stitch, do you think it would be a bad thing if we really did fall in love with each other? I mean love is suppose to be perfect, and you and I are very different."
"yes, we are very different. And there will probably be a lot of people who would disagree with us falling in love. But if it feels as good as it dose now, then I would go against everyone and everything, to be with you.
"Lilo, when you ran away in Scotland. Something inside of me cracked. Something screamed at me, ordering me to find you again, no matter how hard it would be or how long it took. I was scared of loosing you, scared of never seeing you again. I don't know how it happened, but I think I have fallen in love with you"
"stitch, when I woke up all alone in the forest, I was scared. Not scared that I was lost, or scared that wild animals might eat me. I was scared that I would never see my Ohanna again. Scared that I might never see my sister again. And I was scared that I might never see you again. Oh stitch, I was more scared of never seeing you again than I was about never seeing my sister again.
"When I started changing into that werewolf on the second night, it was your face that I held onto. Your face that gave me the courage to fight what I was becoming, and it was your face that helped me master it. Stitch, I couldn't have done it without you. When I woke up yesterday morning and I saw you cuddling me, I knew that I had fallen for you then. I knew that I loved you then, but I just didn't put the word love with that feeling until just now.
"stitch, if you want to risk being with me. If you want to risk being ridiculed by people who don't like us being together, then I would more than happy to face it with you. But I can understand if a life like that would be too much to handle, believe me I've been through it."
"Lilo, nothing would make me happier right now than going through that life with you." And with that stitch closed his eyes and gently kissed Lilo on the lips.
A week has passed since the family got back to Kawaii, and things where back to normal…well as normal as they could be. Thanks to the convention Nani was promoted and now worked less hours, so she had much more time to spend with Lilo, and David. Lilo and stitch have been doing a lot more together than normal, and Lilo was still fighting over how she should tell Victoria that she was a werewolf. Fortunately, Victoria was on holiday in another part of America, so Lilo still had some time to get it together.
Right now Lilo and stitch where just about to go for a walk into the forest when the doorbell rang. Going over to the door, Lilo was annoyed that her time with stitch had to be delayed a bit, though she didn't show it. Their relationship was still a private one, fearing what Nani would say about it.
Opening the door, Lilo was surprised to see cobra standing there.
"cobra, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to tell you that I will no longer be your official social service officer."
"What? But why's that?"
"I've been too busy with other cases to get time to come to Hawaii to check up on you. So I decided to get a fixed person here to look after you. Allow me to introduce you too Mr. Mc Doogle" and with that said cobra moved to the side to reveal, a big white man. He was wearing a pair of navy blue combat shorts with a white t-shirt. His hair was in a ponytail, and he had a beard that matched the colour of his hair, which was orange.
"Hamish!" Lilo said before wrapping her arms around him. "I thought I was never going to see you again"
"Well the world works in mysterious ways. Cobra called me, asking if I wanted to take the job, and I happily accepted. Now me and my 'daughter' can keep in easy reach of ya"
"Daughter?"
"yeah, sure. Her names Sasami, don't ya remember?" and with that Hamish removed himself out of Lilo's grasp and stood to one side. There was a girl almost as tall as Hamish standing there; she had lightly tanned skin, and a pretty face. She was wearing a black short-sleeved t-shirt with a pair of jean shorts. The most noticeable thing about her was that she had a very deep shade of blue for her long hair, and her eyes where also yellow in colour. She didn't say anything, but she did smile and wink at Lilo.
"Its good to see she still remembers you Hamish. Now I would love to stay and chat but I have a flight to catch" and with that cobra left.
"So Hamish where are you two staying?"
"where across town living in a house not that much different from yours from the looks of things. It on that big hill of yours"
"Oh that's a nice place. You must get a great view of the town from there"
"yeah we do. but listen we better get going. Still got a lot to unpack and get sorted. Well I'll catch you around. Bye Lilo" and with that Sasami and Hamish walked away.
Closing the door Lilo smiled a little.
'I wonder what its going to be like have Hamish here. I wonder why Sasami is here though. I guess it to do with my werewolf problem. All well, where stitch gone. I've got to tell him the good news on our little walk' she thought as she walked towards the kitchen where she suspected stitch was.
"I guess a new adventure is just around the corner"
