chapter 2
It had been a couple of weeks since the wedding. Lion-o and Liosia were fast asleep and the sun would be up in two hours. Soon the light came and Lion-o woke up. "Liosia wake up," Lion-o said.
"Lion-o it's too early," Liosia said.
"I'm sorry, sweet heart now as lady of the Thundercats, you must get up at first light like the rest of us." Lion-o said.
"Okay," Liosia said getting up. "Don't even think about waking Lislia she needs her rest," she said.
"Not worry besides she wakes up bright and early anyway." Lion-o said.
"I see, I was wondering where she got that from," Liosia said. "now I see she got it from you," she said.
It was bright and early and they came out for breakfast. Lislia was out and ran to her parents. "Good morning Lislia," Lion-o said.
"Morning sweetie," Liosia said.
"Morning, mommy, morning daddy," Lislia said.
"Okay Lislia eat your breakfast," Lion-o said.
Lislia was eating her breakfast. "Can I go out to play later?" Lislia asked.
"After you finish your breakfast," Liosia said.
"Okay," Lislia said.
Lislia finished her breakfast. She was going to play with a the Thunderkittens and a few other young cubs who were refugees. The Thunderkittens were the oldest of the cubs so they were going to keep an eye on the other cubs. "Now be careful Lislia," Lion-o said.
"Yes daddy," Lislia said.
"Just remember cubs be back before lunch," Liosia said.
"Yes mommy," Lislia said.
The cubs started to play outside and began to roughhouse a bit. "Hey maybe we shouldn't be roughhousing, someone could get hurt," Wilykat said.
"Okay," Lislia said.
"Look at the time it's time to head back for lunch," Wilykit said.
"Then let's go," Lislia said.
They made it back to cat's lair. "Lislia look at you, you are a mess," Liosia said.
"What do you expect? She was outside playing," Tygra said.
"Well she doesn't seem hurt," Liosia said. "Lislia go wash up for lunch," she said.
"Yes ma'am," Lislia said.
After lunch Lislia wanted to go play some more. "Hang on Lislia that is enough play you are dirty enough as it is," Liosia said.
"But mommy," Lislia said.
"Why can't she go out and play love?" Lion-o asked coming back from working with the refugees.
"Well look she's filthy," Liosia said.
"And what's wrong with her getting dirty from playing?" Lion-o asked.
"Yeah, little cubs get dirty and get bumps, bruises and scrapes it's part of playing and exploring the world around them," Snarf said.
"Snarf is right you don't want to stop her from having fun do you?" Lynx-o asked.
"Your right, go have fun Lislia and be careful," Liosia said.
"Thanks mommy," Lislia said running outside.
"Kids," Liosia said and Lion-o laughed.
Lislia came back a bit later all dirty. "Okay young lady time for a bath," Liosia said.
"Bath?" Lislia said.
"Yes bath-time," Liosia said.
"Okay," Lislia said.
Liosia ran a bubble bath. Lislia was placed in the tub. Liosia scrubbed her up and rinsed her. Lislia was dried off and now in a towel. "Okay young lady we have big day tomorrow because you know what tomorrow is?" Liosia asked.
"My birthday!" Lislia said.
"That's right and we want to make sure it is a big celebration and I want you to show everyone what a big girl you are," Liosia said.
"Okay mommy," Lislia said.
The next morning Lislia woke up and her mother dressed her in a dress. "Why do I have to wear a dress?" Lislia said.
"It's your birthday, I want you to look like a becoming little lady," Liosia said.
"Doesn't someone look pretty," Lion-o said looking at Lislia.
"Thanks," Lislia said.
"Happy birthday, Lislia," Lion-o said.
"Thanks daddy," Lislia said.
"Okay sweetheart today many of the Thunderian refugees are coming and I want you to show them that you are fine little lady, and ready to live up to your role as little princess." Lion-o said.
"Yes sir," Lislia said.
Over the couple of hours many Thunderians came into celebrate the young princesses birthday. Lislia was being polite and friendly. At the end of the day Lislia dozed off before bed time because she was so tired.
She was tucked in and slept with her elephant Fizzy by her side.
