"Pleakley, you already sprayed my hair ten times, I'm pretty sure that it won't move during the ceremony!" Lilo said with difficulty, as she coughed and fanned away the spray tin the air.

"Now now, Lilo, I've read enough beauty and fashion magazines to know that when it comes to important events such as yours, you always have to make sure to look perfect. I don't want your hair or the dress I made for you to be out-of-place when you go up to get your diploma. Besides, I'm practically an expert with this whole thing, so just leave it to me." Pleakley said, who was already disguised in female attire. He wore short red straight hair, with a small hat that matched his navy blue blazer, skirt, white silk collared blouse, and high heels.

He continued to spray Lilo's hair, moving from one side to the other, as he made sure not to miss any spot.

"You shouldn't believe everything that magazines say, Pleakley. Most of their tips and information are usually exaggerated and fake. Even the pictures are usually fixed on computer programs to pretend that the cosmetic works. Also, just so you know, this is just a two hour graduation ceremony, not a fashion show. The only thing everyone will be looking forward to is getting a simple piece of paper and going home to celebrate." Lilo tried to hide the annoyance in her voice. She appreciated Pleakley's help when it came to making her dresses and preparing her to look her best in special occasions such as this one, but sometimes he got a little carried away when he relied too much on magazines.

"Fine, have it your way. I'm almost done with your hair anyway, all I need is to get a hair clip and we are ready to go. Now, if I can find one..." Pleakley looked through his cosmetic bags and all the hair products he had on top of the dressing table. "Oh great, I must have left it downstairs. Hang on, I'll be right back, make sure not to move or touch your hair, I don't want my hard work ruined!" He cried as he hurried to the platform.

'At this point I'm afraid of touching it. I bet I can break part of it like a frozen icicle if I decide to pull it!' Lilo thought as she attempted to blow away a strand of hair that was on her face.

While she waited for Pleakley, she decided to turn towards her mirror to look at her reflection. She wore a sleeveless flare peach-colored dress, with floral decorations, that reached all the way to her knees. It had an open back and a white colored ribbon around the waist, with a matching white pair of flats.

Her black straight hair was combed and made into a thick braid that fell on the left side of her shoulder, with her long bangs pushed aside towards the same direction. She wasn't skinny nor overweight; she was about average size with what most would consider a pear shaped body. From what she'd been told, she resembled Nani. The only difference was that Lilo was a bit shorter, reaching five feet one inch, and her cheeks were a bit chubbier.

Lilo smiled, flattered at the wonderful work that Pleakley did. "Hmm, maybe those tips in Pleakley's magazines aren't so bad after all," Lilo pondered as she playfully twirled in delight.

"Oh hubba, hubba! Butifa!"

Lilo, caught by surprise, quickly turned to see Stitch, Nani, and Pleakley standing by the platform.

"Wow Pleakley, I must admit, you really do have a knack for fashion. Ever thought of opening up your own fashion business?" Nani said as she observed Lilo in fascination.

"Actually I have! I've a handful of costumers who have requested me to design them some new dresses. I'm hoping to get more customers today, and if I'm lucky maybe there could be some secret fashion agent in the ceremony, who will be interested with my work once they see Lilo walk up on the stage." Pleakley explained excitedly as he walked towards the dressing table, taking the graduation cap he had placed there earlier.

"And with such a pretty model like my sister, who wouldn't be interested." Nani added as she playfully winked at her sister.

"Ha ha, very funny Nani." Lilo replied as she pushed her sister's shoulder playfully, hoping she didn't notice her light blush of embarrassment.

"Ih, ih, Lilo isa botifa" Stitch said, as he nodded his head in agreement to Nani's compliment .

"Mahalo, you two don't look so bad yourself." Lilo said as she observed Nani and Stitch's outfits. Nani had her hair pulled up into a bun, with a strand of hair left loose on the right side of her face. She was wearing a light-green sleeveless tight dress that reached past her knees, and light yellow heels.

Stitch was wearing a simple red tie, which Lilo noticed in amusement was way too long for him. Both corners of the tie trailed across the floor, with a huge sloppy knot around his neck: his failed attempt to tie it up properly.

"David let Stitch borrow tie, meega dress too!" Stitch said as he looked up at Lilo, pointing at his work proudly.

"I tried to teach the little monster how to tie it the right way, but noooo! He insisted he wanted to do it himself." Pleakley said, rolling his eye in annoyance as he placed the graduation cap on Lilo's head, being careful not to ruin her hair.

Lilo smiled down at Stitch, giving him a thumbs up at his attempt, "And it turned out great for your first time, very proud of you Stitch."

Stitch smile widened at Lilo's compliment. "Takka."

"Well, do you have everything ready Lilo? Because we're going to have to leave pretty soon." Nani said as she took Lilo's blue graduation gown off the hanger from her closet door.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot the reason why I went downstairs in the first place!" Pleakley cried as he reached inside his blazer's pocket, taking out a hand size white foam hair clip, decorated with a Hawaiian orchid.

"Oh! Stitch do it!" Stitch cried as he hopped on the dressing table, his hand reaching out towards Pleakley.

"Fine. Just make sure not to ruin her braid." Pleakley cautioned as he handed Stitch the hair clip before he cleared the mess of cosmetics he left on the dressing table. He turned to walk towards the platform. "I'll go tell Jumba and David to get the car ready," he cried before he was lowered down to the first floor.

"Okay!" Lilo replied as she approached Stitch, bending down slightly to make Stitch's task easier. He slid the hair clip onto her hair, behind her ear, then adjusted some of the wrinkled petals before he stood back to observe his work.

"How does it look?" Lilo curiously asked as she lightly touched the flower.

"Moochiba!" Stitch complimented as he jumped off the dressing table, ready to make his way towards the platform. "Oketaka, Lilo ready go now."

"Not yet, she's still missing one more important thing." Nani said as she approached Lilo from behind, helping her put on her graduation gown. Lilo zipped up the front part of her gown, being careful not to get her skirt caught on the zipper, before looking up at her reflection again.

Lilo let Nani adjust her collar before taking a step back to take a better look. "There," Nani whispered, "now you're ready." She smiled at Lilo through her reflection

Lilo sighed as she slowly turned to face her sister, "Yeah, I guess I am," she whispered. "How time flies. It seems like yesterday when we both thought that we'd lost everything, that we were left alone in this world." Lilo paused a bit, before continuing. "But now, look at us. We've met a new ohana, who has helped us so much during our time of need. We rehabilitated all of Jumba's experiments, stopped Hamsterviel from taking over. You found a good job, I have a soon-to-be brother in law, which, might I add, took you long enough to finally accept," Lilo said jokingly, making both Nani and Stitch chuckle. "and now..."

"...and now you're moving on to the next chapter in your life." Nani finished as she caressed Lilo's cheek affectionately. "Mom and Dad would be so proud of all of your accomplishments, I know I am."

Lilo smiled before giving her sister a hug, "Thanks Nani, I know Mom and Dad would be proud of you too. You've been the best second mother I've ever had, and I'll never forget that."

Nani felt tears beginning to well up, but tried to hold them back. "Thank you Lilo." She whispered as she returned the hug.

They both remained that way for a minute before being interrupted by Stitch, who awkwardly cleared his throat. "Um, soka, but isa aka-choota." he said as he pointed towards his wrist, indicating that they had to leave soon.

Both sisters sighed, letting go of each other.

"Well, I need to go get my purse," Nani said. "Make sure you have what you need, I'll be waiting for you downstairs." She made her way towards the platform, leaving both Lilo and Stitch alone in the room.

Lilo exhaled to keep herself relaxed. "Well, this is it," she said, as she smiled down at her blue fluffy little friend.

"Ih." Stitch agreed as he stood. He walked over towards Lilo before he stretched out his hand towards her. "Ready?"

Lilo smirked before she bend forward slightly to hold Stitch's little paw. "Ready."

I don't know about you guys, but I'm actually getting pretty interested in this story. I've noticed I haven't drawn anything since I started it. So I'm thinking of doing some Illustrations to make it more interesting. What you think? :3

Thanks a bunch to :iconsiodymph: and Soalric (from Fanfiction) for checking over my story. You two are the best!
