Beginnings

By Robin Gurl

(This is my version of how the kittens came to meet the adults. This is all pre-3rd earth of course annnnd Lion-O is a kitten to (later) o.O; um what else? Oh I sorta half pair up Tygra and Cheetara but then sorta don't. The kitten's ages range from newborn to 12. I guess it also sorta focuses on Wily Kit more than Wily Kat o.O; oops.)

"Their parents passed away? That's so sad." Cheetara exclaimed taking one of newborn cubs into her arms. Beside her, her mate Tygra took the other looking at Jaga.

"They are really young, will they survive without their mother?" The tiger asked the question that no one wanted to ask.

"If we can find a surrogate mother then they might have a chance." The eldest Thunder Cat explained.

"You want us to do this?" Cheetara exclaimed. The young woman glanced wide-eyed at the other. "But we aren't parents."

"You will be great parents." He reassured them. "Their names are up to you, since their mother died in child birth and their father was exiled to Exile Mountain they have no other family." Then he walked off.

The cub in Tygra's arms started wailing, the Tiger held the newborn up in the air to try and calm it down, when he noticed it was a female. "This one is a girl. A beautiful one at that."

"Tygra, I'm not so sure about this," Cheetara whispered. "I mean they are adorable but I'm no mother…"

"We have no other choice, look she likes me." He nuzzled the small forehead and smiled when the kitten purred and pawed up at him contently.

Cheetara stared at the youngling in her arms and cradled it closer seeing it was a beautiful baby boy, with identical looks to his sister, "They are fraternal twins."

"We've got our hands full then." He chuckled. "So what shall we name them then?"

"They are a mix of Wild Cats and Tiger Clans is what Jaga said earlier before he summoned you."

"Yes, their mother was a very beautiful Tigress." Tygra mused out loud getting a playful glare from his mate. "But not a beautiful as you are."

"Oh, save it. We are all pre-disposed to be attracted to our own clans, it can't be helped." Cheetara started to walk back to their chambers that they shared.

"I like the name Wily Kat for the boy," Tygra said switching cubs with her. The male cub purred and smiled at him before yawning. "What do you think?"

"Alright, I suppose. How about Wily Kit for the girl?"

"Kit and Kat? It has a nice ring to it."

The two adult Thunder Cats hovered over the bundles in their arms smiling proudly, "Wily Kit and Wily Kat welcome home!"
