Chapter 2: The first test

It had been two days since Stitch had come into Lilo's life, but they seemed like they had been friends forever. They got along great, but Nani still did not like the new guest. It was late morning as Lilo sat on the couch watching T.V. Nani was at work and would not be home until late that night. Stitch was in the hall hiding behind the same wall that Lilo had two day's before. He was holding his book in his arms as he watched Lilo.

'Come on you can do it. There's no reason to be nervous.' Thought Stitch as he nervously tapped his claws on the book. 'I'm sure she will do it, she's done so much for me so far why would she not do this.'

Stitch looked in on Lilo, she was laughing as she watched three guys slap each other repeatedly. He then looked at his book and ran his paw over it. He then looked back at Lilo, he had to do it.

'All right I can do this; all the other experiments do it. So I must do it too.' Thought Stitch.

Finally like Lilo he managed to work up the courage to walk into the room. He walked over in front of Lilo as he held his book behind his back.

"Hey Lilo can ask you something?" asked Stitch as he stood there with his head down.

Lilo looked at him curiously. "Of course what is it?"

"Well, I just want to say that… um… You have treated me so nicely these past few days and I just want to ask you if…"

"If what?" asked Lilo after a couple of seconds of silence.

"Well I was wondering if…" Stitch held the book in front of him. "If you would be… my partner?" asks Stitch as he held his book out to her.

An expression of shock sweeps across her face as she takes in Stitch's request. "You… you want me to be your partner?" asked Lilo in disbelief.

Stitch just smiled and nodded as he continued to hold his book out.

"I don't know Stitch, that's a big job. How do you know I could handle it?" asked Lilo as she stared at the book.

"I know you could do this because from what I've seen of you is that you don't take no for an answer. Your commanding and you think quickly, those are characteristics that are needed in a battle." Said Stitch as he slowly grew more comfortable with his request.

"I still don't know Stitch, it's a big responsibility. I mean what if I cast a spell that wasn't meant to be used? What if I get you defeated?" asked Lilo as she looked away.

Stitch lowered his ears for a moment as he tried to figure out what to say. "Don't worry Lilo, as long as you believe that we will win we don't have to worry about that." Said Stitch as he raised his ears.

Lilo looked back at him and a small smile came across her face. "You know what, I'll do it. I'll be your partner." Said Lilo as she took the book in her hands.

After she had the book in her hands Stitch scoots over and hugs her. "I know you'll do just fine. I have faith in you." Said Stitch.

Lilo wraps one of her arms around him in a weak hug. "Thank you Stitch." Said Lilo.

The two of them hugged for a minute or so before Lilo let go. "But wait Stitch how am I supposed to read this?" said Lilo as she looked at the book. "I don't even know what language this is."

"Don't worry you'll figure it out." Said Stitch as a joyous smile went across his face.

Lilo began to look through the book; each page was filled with the same strange language. "I don't know Stitch this may take me awhile to…" Just then she turned to a page about half way through the book. A section of the writing was glowing. "Wait these word's their different… I can read them, but how?" asked Lilo to herself.

Stitch just sat there with a smile on his face. He now had a partner, now he could prove himself. But suddenly his thoughts were halted when Lilo began to say the word out loud.

"Pun… punchi… punchit…" Lilo began, but Stitch leaps forward and slaps his paw on her mouth.

"I would not say that out loud in the house. Unless you want to be cleaning up a big mess." Said Stitch in a slightly scared voice.

"Oh sorry, but can we go and see what this attack of yours is?" said Lilo as she looked down at the glowing word.

"Sure, if you know of some place we can go." Said Stitch

Lilo thought for a moment before shutting the book. "I know just the place!" said Lilo enthusiastically.

About 15 minutes later they were standing in an open field, there were a couple of boulders lying around. Stitch and Lilo stood in front of one of them.

"These boulders will make perfect targets!" said Lilo. She opened the book to the glowing words. "Ok, ready Stitch?" asked Lilo.

"Ready Lilo!" said Stitch as he readied himself.

"Right let's go!" Lilo pointed towards the boulder as she read the spell. "Punchito!" yelled Lilo.

After about 30 seconds nothing happened, a tumble weed blows in front of them. Lilo gets out of her dramatic pose and looks at the book.

"That's strange, I reed it exactly how it's spelled. How come nothing happened?" asked Lilo as she scratched her head.

Stitch turns around and sighs. 'I can't believe I forgot to tell her how to cast the spell.' Thought Stitch as he looks at her. "Emotions." Said Stitch.

"Excuse me?" asked Lilo as she looked at her furry partner.

"In order to cast the spell you must put your emotions into the book."

"My emotions?" said Lilo as she looked down at the book.

"Yeah your emotions, like happiness, sadness, jealousy and greed." Said Stitch as he counted on his fingers.

"What about hatred?" asked Lilo.

Stitch's eyes shot open and an angry look formed on his face. "No, not hatred. Anger yes, but not hatred. Hatred is an emotion used by the evil experiments… like yang." Said Stitch in a slightly raised voice.

"You must highly dislike this yang guy huh?"

"Yes I do, now come on lets give that spell a try." Said Stitch as he faced the boulder.

"Right!" said Lilo as she once again pointed to the boulder. 'Ok put my emotions into the book got it.' Thought Lilo. She looked at the boulder as she thought of the beach, which made her feel happy. The book began to glow, then she read the spell. "Punchito!" yelled Lilo.

Stitch's face went blank as he sped towards the rock with amazing speed. He raised his fist and his entire arm became surrounded in a swirling vortex of blue energy. Within seconds his arm looked like a comet, then his fist finally hit the boulder. There as a flash of light followed by a loud explosion. The boulder exploded into hundreds of pieces, sending a cloud of dust in all directions. Lilo covered her face with her arm as she was hit by the cloud. When the dust cleared she looked towards were the rock was.

"Whoa… that's awesome!" said Lilo when she saw what happened.

Stitch was standing there with a smile on his face, the spot that the boulder sat was now littered with tiny pieces of rock.

Stitch looked back at Lilo and smiled. "Now you see why you shouldn't read that in the house?" asked Stitch sarcastically.

Lilo giggled as she rubbed the back of her head. "Yeah that would not have made Nani happy." Said Lilo.

The two of them laughed for a couple of minutes before they finally regained their composure. Stitch then walked over to Lilo.

"You see though, I told you that you could do it." Said Stitch with a smile on his face.

"Yeah… hey lets do it again!" said Lilo happily.

Stitch just smiled a big grin. "Ok, let's do it."

A moment later the two of them were facing a dead tree; Lilo opened the book and focused her emotions. The book once again began to glow, when Lilo called out the spell.

"Punchito!" Stitch once again speed towards the tree, his arm surrounded in energy.

He finally hit and his fist went right through the tree, a moment later the tree shattered into thousands of pieces. They continued to test out Stitch's power for about 2 hours. They had destroyed 5 boulders and 3 dead trees, the two of them were out of breath as they sat on the ground with smiles on their faces.

"Oh boy… that was fun!" said Lilo as she tried to catch her breath.

"Yeah well this may be fun for you, but all of this is helping me a lot." Said Stitch as he looked up at the sky.

"What do you mean?" asked Lilo as she looked up too.

"I mean that every time you cast that spell I get a little stronger. And using them here is also helping my aim." Said Stitch as he looked at his paw.

"Well that's good, but I hope your not just seeing this as serious training or anything." Said Lilo as she looked at her partner.

"No, no I'm enjoying this as well. I enjoy just having fun… and I must say that I enjoy being with you. You're so easy to get along with and you're so kind and considerate. That's one of the reasons why I choose you as my partner."

"Aw, Stitch that's so sweet. I enjoy being with you as well, your really only the second friend that I have." Said Lilo.

"Really? I find that hard to believe."

"Well believe it; I only have you and my friend Victoria. Me and her are always getting picked on."

"Now who would pick on a girl like you? It's not a boy is it? Because if it is then I'll teach him a thing or two about how to treat a lady." Said Stitch in an almost protective, fatherly tone.

Lilo gave a small laugh. "No it's not a boy, it's this girl named Mertle. Her and her brain washed posy, are always calling us weird."

"Well you don't have to take that anymore. You have me now; you have all of this power at your disposal. You could take revenge on her." Said Stitch

"That is a very evil thought Stitch. I got the impression you hated evil."

"I know it's rather evil sounding, but I hate it when people are picked on."

"Yeah, I hate it too. I don't see how people can sink so low as to find pleasure in making others feel bad." Said Lilo as she watched a fluffy white cloud float over head.

"Their just people who feel weak and must make them selves seem tough. That way they can control, or at least think they control their lives." Said Stitch as he closed his eyes.

Lilo just sighed. "Yeah I guess."

The two of them just lied there for about a half an hour. They watched the clouds float over head as a warm breeze swept across the field. After awhile their peace was interrupted by Stitch's growling stomach.

Lilo looked over at her friend. "Are you hungry?" asked Lilo.

Stitch just blushed. "Yeah I think I am."

"Well come on, lets go into town and get some shaved ice. Does that sound good?"

"Well I've never had shaved ice before, so yeah let's go." Said Stitch as he sat up.

"Well all right! Let's go!" yelled Lilo.

The two of them ran off towards town, they both felt so happy. Neither of them knew why, but they both felt happier then they ever had. They reach the ice cream parlor about 20 minutes later and they both order large scoops of ice cream. They sit and talk about thing's that they had done and places they had been. Stitch tells Lilo about his training, but he leaves out how the older experiments picked on him. After about an hour they had both finished their ice cream and were ready to head home.

"So how did you like the ice cream?" asked Lilo as her and Stitch left the parlor.

"It was delicious!" said Stitch as he licked his fingers.

"Well I'm glad you…" Just then Lilo was interrupted.

"Molter!" came a sinister voice.

Suddenly Lilo and Stitch were blown back by three explosions. The two of them rolled to a stop about 50 feet away, they both got to their knees. Their faces were covered in small scratches and scrapes.

"What the heck was that?" asked Lilo as she rubbed her sore head.

Stitch was staring into the cloud of dust left by the explosions. "Yang." Said Stitch with a terrified tone.

Just then they heard some sinister gurgling laughter. "I found you Stitch. I told you escape was impossible." Said the sinister voice.

The smoke cleared reveling the two figures; one was a tall man with red spike hair. He was wearing tattered blue jeans and a red t-shirt. In his hands was a red book, which looked exactly like Stitch's. Next him was a lizard like creature with tiny volcanoes on its back and tail. It had a sinister smile on its face.

'That's Yang? That's who was after Stitch?' thought Lilo as she stared at her opponents.

"Why don't you just give up Stitch, you can't beat me." Said Yang. Just then he notices Lilo and the blue book. "I see you found a partner, no matter I will defeat you just as easily!"

Just then the red book began to glow and the man called out the spell. "Molter!"

Balls of flame shoot out of Yang's back; they fly into the air and finally arch downward towards Lilo and Stitch. Stitch leaps to his feet and tackles Lilo out of the way right as the balls of flame hit the ground. There were three large explosions that once again sent Lilo and Stitch flying.

"Molter!" yelled the man.

Three more explosions ripped through the area, the entire street was covered in a thick cloud of smoke. Both Yang and his partner looked towards were Lilo and Stitch had been with evil smiles on their faces. But suddenly; through the smoke they saw a blue glow.

"Punchito!" came the yell from the smoke.

In an instant Stitch came bursting out of the smoke with his arm surrounded by energy.

"No, impossible!" yelled Yang.

In the next instant Stitch's fist made contact with his opponent. The force was so great that it sent Yang flying into a building and his partner into a lamp post. The smoke on the street cleared revealing Lilo's position. She had the book in her arms and scratches and burns all over her face. Her shirt was also torn a bit.

"I thought you were going to beat us?" said Lilo in a confident tone.

The human looked up at Lilo. "Stupid girl… Yang is the strongest experiment ever made! You don't stand a chance!" yelled the human.

Yang was finally to his feet. "Molter!" yelled his partner.

A second later three fire balls rained down around Stitch. "Punchito!" yelled Lilo.

Stitch came bursting through the flames, nailing Yang with another good punch. This continued for a few volleys before both teams were in bad shape. Both of the experiments stood facing each other, their partners could barley stand.

"This is getting irritating, let's finish this Tagi." Said Yang as he growled.

"Right!" said Tagi as the red book began to glow.

"Do your worst." Said Stitch with a confident smile.

"Laven!" yelled Tagi.

The ground around Yang's feet began to glow red hot. Suddenly a geyser of Lava spewed up in front of them. They continued to appear in a straight line towards Lilo and Stitch. They then split in two directions, circling Stitch. Finally the road below Stitch's feet collapsed and he went tumbling into the sewers.

"Stitch!" yelled Lilo as she watched her friend vanish below ground.

"There, it's over so if you wouldn't mind handing over your book. Then we will be on our way." Said Yang as he watched tear's build up in Lilo's eyes. "Come now don't be sad, he would have only made your life a living heck. I think you will find it a relief to have him gone."

Lilo looked up at the two sinister characters; she wanted to beat them to a pulp. But she knew that it would not work, she was about to hand over the book when something behind Yang and Tagi caught her eye.

"Listen you two; I don't care what you say… Stitch is my friend and I won't just give up the book." Said Lilo with new found confidence.

"You foolish child, just hand over your book. Actually I might as well burn it from here, because I still have my book!" yelled Tagi as he raised his book in the air.

A fiendish smile went across Lilo's face. 'Gotcha!' thought Lilo as she opened the book. The book began to glow and she called out the spell. "Punchito!"

"You ignorant girl you don't even know were he is!" yelled Yang.

Suddenly Stitch came leaping up from behind; his arm glowing. His fist hit Tagi's raised book and sent it flying out of his hands. The book hit the ground covered in blue flame.

"No the book!" yelled Tagi and Yang in unison.

Stitch came skidding to a stop next to Lilo who was standing up confidently. "Now who's the pathetic one?" said Lilo as she watched Tagi run off and Yang futilely trying to put the flames out.

The book was almost completely burned and Yang began to fade away. He looked up at his defeater's. "You may have one this battle Stitch, but there are experiments hundred's of times stronger then me out to get you. You will not win this tournament." Growled Yang.

"Yes he will! Because he's got me as a partner. I don't care how strong these other experiments are, we will beat them all." Said Lilo with a cocky smirk.

Yang got a smile across his face and he began to laugh. "You are so arrogant… I know that you will not be able to defeat…" Yang was cut off as he vanished into thin air.

Lilo and Stitch looked at each other; their faces were scratched and bruised. They began to just laugh as they headed home, but about half way there Stitch spoke up.

"Lilo?" asked Stitch as he looked at his partner.

"Yes Stitch?"

"Are we really friend's?" asked Stitch as he looked into her eyes.

"Of course we are, were best of friend's"

"And you're really going to help me beat all of the experiments?"

"Well you can't do it on your own now can you." Said Lilo with a smile.

Stitch gave a smile. "I'm glad you're my partner Lilo."

Lilo stopped and kneeled down next to her furry companion. "I' am too Stitch, and I'm glad were friend's." said Lilo as she hugged him.

The two of them hugged for a few minutes before continuing home. Nani was not very happy about how her sister looked, but Lilo explained every thing and it all worked out. They had beaten their first foe, but how knew what other experiments were out there.
