chapter 2

The other Thundercats were ready for the feast the warrior maidens were holding. Lilia had Lion-o sit next to her. "You are the guest of honor, and you will sit next to me," she said.

"Okay," Lion-o said.

The feast began. Everyone was enjoying the food and the music. "This is good food," Wilykat said.

"I'm glad you like it," Lilia said. "So Lion-o are you enjoying the feast?" she asked.

"Yes I am thanks for asking," Lion-o said.

Then she touched his shoulder. "Is there something you want to tell me?" he asked.

"Not much," Lilia said and then ran her hand down his back.

Lion-o was surprised but when the feast was over everyone was getting ready to go to bed. Lilia came up to Lion-o. "Oh hello Lilia," he said.

"Lion-o, would you like to go for a stroll in the moonlight?" Lilia asked.

"Are you trying to ask me out?" Lion-o asked.

"Maybe," she said pulling his face towards hers and kissed his cheek.

"Hey," Lion-o said. He moved away and the Lilia got closer and pulled him close.

She nuzzled his neck and began to purr. "Lilia come on personal space," Lion-o said. "What has gotten into you?" he asked.

"I like you a lot," Lilia said.

"Um thanks," Lion-o said.

"I want to be with you," Lilia said.

"Lilia please let go," Lion-o said and managed to get of her grip. "Please I want to be alone right now," he said and left.

Lilia started to tear up. Tygra saw her crying. "What's wrong?" Tygra said.

"Lion-o I was practically throwing myself at him and he pushed me away for some reason," Lilia said.

"I see, but don't be mad at him, Lion-o is just getting over his second broken heart still," Tygra said.

"Huh?" Lilia said.

"His first broken heart happened when Cheetara and I got together and he liked Cheetara a lot." Tygra said. "Then he met Pumyra and began to go after her and then Pumyra reunited with her boyfriend and now Lion-o is dealing with more heartbreak." he said.

"I didn't know," Lilia said. "I think I will make it up to him," she said and left.

Lion-o was sitting by a pond and looked at Snarf who was watching the fish swim. He took a handful of small rocks and started to throw them into the water. He never had a girl flirt with him before it was pretty interesting. But he was still feeling kind of sad. He felt Snarf brush up against him. Lion-o started to pet him.

Lilia saw Lion-o at the pond and decided to talk to him. She sat down next to him. "Lion-o?" she said.

"Oh hey Lilia," Lion-o said.

"I'm sorry about earlier," Lilia said.

"Oh it's okay," Lion-o said.

"I just didn't know you dealt with so much heartache recently," Lilia said.

"I'm guessing Tygra told you that, he probably told so you would understand," Lion-o said.

"Yes he said when he found me about to cry after you left," Lilia said.

"Sorry if I made you cry," Lion-o said.

"It's okay," Lilia said.

Lion-o looked at Lilia, her soft chestnut hair shined in the moon light and her eyes were big and blue. Very amazing to see since blue eyes aren't common with dark hair. Lion-o started to inch closer to Lilia. She noticed and began to inch closer to him. They were just about to touch when they heard something.

"Something is out there," Lion-o said.

"It's getting closer," Lilia said.

Verona was nearby and heard the noise and decide to investigate. She saw Lilia alone with Lion-o and saw Lion-o making a grab for the sword and attacked him. "Don't you dare hurt the queen!" Verona said.

"I wasn't," Lion-o said.

"He's tell the truth," Lilia said. "We heard a noise and Lion-o was going draw his sword to fight whatever we heard." she said.

"Yeah right," Verona said.

The noise came again and large creature came out. "A giant fanged Calo boar!" Lilia said.

Verona was still planning to keep Lion-o back. Lilia got pinned down and Lion-o got away from Verona and attacked the monstrous boar. Lion-o got hurt doing it, then he killed the monstrous boar. Then Lion-o collapsed from his injuries and exhaustion. "Lion-o!" Lilia said and ran to him and held his head. "Get help!" she told Verona.

Verona ran off.

Now back in the warrior maidens kingdom Lion-o was being treated. Pumyra finished bandaging his wounds. Lion-o started to wake up. "Where am I?" he asked.

"You are back in the treetop kingdom, you are badly hurt," Pumyra said.

Lion-o tried to sit and groaned. "Take it easy kid," Panthro said. "you are not in the shape to be getting up and moving around." he said.

So Lion-o laid back down. Lilia brought in more pillows and blankets to help Lion-o feel more comfortable. "Thank you for saving me," Lilia said.

"I was happy too," Lion-o said.

"Okay everyone we should leave Lion-o needs his rest," Pumyra said.

Everyone left to let Lion-o rest. "I'll check on you in the morning," Lilia said.

Lion-o smiled he was looking forward to that.
