chapter 1
Lion-o saw some water running nearby and feeling pretty thirsty he took some into his hands and sipped it. Tygra that Lion-o stopped by water and drank some. Lion-o saw Tygra when he turned around.
"Oh how long have you been standing there?" Lion-o asked.
"Oh for a short bit," Tygra said.
"Well that water tastes pretty good," Lion-o said.
"Well just be careful what you drink, I have to look after you know, and I'm sure Liosella doesn't want to look after you because your sick." Tygra said.
"Okay, okay," Lion-o said.
Then a few seconds later Lion-o started to shrink. "What is happening to me?" Lion-o asked.
Tygra now saw a little three year old sitting in a pile of Lion-o's clothes. "Lion-o?" Tygra asked.
"Tygra!" Lion-o said. Then he clumsy came out of the pile of clothes and latched on to Tygra's leg. "Big brother!" he said.
"Oh, boy this is not good." Tygra said. Then he saw Lion-o was only wearing underclothes. "Okay this problem needs fixing." he said.
"Chilly," Lion-o said.
"I thought you might be you are half naked." Tygra said. Then picked him up. "The others are not going to believe this." he said.
He carried Lion-o back to the camp. The other's just stared. "Is that Lion-o?" Wilykat asked.
"Yes," Tygra said. "It happened after he drank some water from a nearby lake." he said.
"Hmm I heard about this happening before, it must be from the lake of youth. It made Lion-o younger, the only cure is juice made from the fruit of Cano-cano tree." Liosella said. "But those trees are very rare and grow very far away in another forest." she said.
"We are in big trouble." Cheetara said.
Lion-o looked frightened by the other Thundercats. He didn't know these cats. "Tygra," Lion-o said burying his face into Tygra's neck.
"It's okay Lion-o," Tygra said.
Panthro looked over at Lion-o and the child looked at him.
"Panthro," Lion-o said.
"Well I'm not surprised he knows me He did hang around when I first started to teach Tygra." Panthro said.
"He's rather cute, reminds me of the puppies I see running and playing around dog city." Dobo said.
Lion-o was a bit intimidated by Dobo at first but fear turned into curiosity. He looked Dobo right in the eye. "You tall." Lion-o said.
"Yes I am but you will be tall to I'm sure of it." Dobo said.
Lion-o smiled at him. "He's only wearing underclothes," Cheetara said.
"We better get him some clothes before he catches a cold," Liosella said.
They went into a town. "Excuse me sir do you know where we can get clothes for young children?' Tygra asked as he held Lion-o.
"Over there," the dog said.
"Thank you," Tygra said.
Once in the store they picked out some fine clothes for Lion-o and now he was all dressed.
Afterwards they had some lunch. After eating Lion-o began to yawn. He was even rubbing eyes. "Looks like someone needs a nap," Wilykit said.
"No nap," Lion-o said.
"Yes nap," Tygra said picking him up. "You're tired," he said.
"But don't want nap!" Lion-o said.
"Well want it or not you are going to take a nap." Tygra said.
Lion-o mumbled then fell asleep.
Then once back at the Thundertank Tygra tucked Lion-o in bed. Then snarf jumped in bed with him and curled up into a little ball.
Tygra saw Lion-o was fast asleep and then left the room. "Lion-o is taking a nap and I don't want him woken up. So be quiet." Tygra said.
"Understood I wouldn't like being woken from nap." Dobo said.
"Yes since Lion-o is a child Tygra is next one in charge." Panthro said.
Tygra went in to check on Lion-o after about 15 minutes and Lion-o sleeping peacefully with his arm around Snarf. Then Tygra quietly shut the door. Lion-o was having a wonderful dream he was playing with his big brother.
