chapter 3

Lion-o and the other Thundercats got a room ready for Liosia. Since Liosia lost her clothes they were going to get some clothes for her. They had a lot to chose from the hadn't been used. They began to try on clothes some of the clothes were to big or small. Finally the found a blue jumper like outfit. It fit her just fine Liosia liked it a lot. "Looks like we have a winner." Snarf said.

Liosia wasn't feeling to good so she leaned against Lion-o. "Hey sweetie not feeling good?" Lion-o asked.

Liosia shook her head no. Lion-o placed his hand on her forehead. "You feel hot." Lion-o said. "Pumyra," he said.

Pumyra came over. "What is it Lion-o?" Pumyra asked.

"I think her fever has gotten worse." he said.

Pumyra took Liosia's temperature. "Liosia had a high fever," Pumyra said. "Does anything hurt?" She asked.

Liosia shook her head no. "Looks like simple fever. So lots of rest, plenty of fluids and cooling her down." Pumyra said.

Lion-o scooped her up and lay her down in bed. He was about to go until Liosia grabbed his arm. She looked a little scared. "You want me stay?' Lion-o asked. Liosia nodded she was scared about being in a new place and she was sick to boot. So she wanted her father to be close. She didn't know where her mother was for all she knew her mother could have been taken by the slave trader that attacked their ship.

"Okay, I'll stay," he said. He got a chair and sat down next to her bed. He was stroking her hair. It made Liosia relax she looked like she could barely keep her eyes open. "Go to sleep Liosia," he said. Then Liosia dozed off.

The other's were wondering what was taking Lion-o. How long does it take for a father to put his daughter in bed to rest? Snarf decided to see if everything was alright. He went into Liosia's room and saw Lion-o sitting in a chair at Liosia's bedside. "Lion-o?" Snarf said.

Lion-o jumped and turned around he saw Snarf in the doorway. "Snarf, you startled me," Lion-o said.

"Sorry, but we were wondering why you haven't come out of Liosia's room," Snarf said.

"Liosia doesn't want me go," Lion-o said. Snarf saw that Liosia was holding onto Lion-o's hand while she was sleeping.

"Poor little dear," Snarf said. "I will let the other's know everything is fine." he said.

"Thanks Snarf," Lion-o said.

Snarf left the room. Lion-o began to stroke Liosia's hair again. Snarf went to the command room. "Well?" Tygra asked.

"Lion-o is with Liosia, Liosia doesn't want him to leave." Snarf said.

"I see, she must be rather traumatized by what happened at castle Plun-darr," Pumyra said.

"Anyone could be traumatized by that," Panthro said.

"But we must watch her and make her feel safe." Lynx-o said.

"Yes the poor child has been through a lot." Cheetara said.

"For all we know her mother could still be out there." Panthro said.

"We need to find her, Liosia might feel more comfortable here after that." Bengali said.

"Yes but right now let's help Liosia feel safe first." Lynx-o said.

"Lynx-o is right Liosia right now is feeling very uneasy so she needs sometime to settle in." Tygra said.

"I'll go give Lion-o a hand with Liosia," Snarf said.

Snarf came into Liosia's room and saw Lion-o was stroking her head. Lion-o heard Snarf come in. "Hello Snarf," Lion-o said.

"I brought some juice for Liosia," Snarf said.

Liosia was up now and eagerly accepted the juice. She started to drink it. "Take it easy Liosia, don't go too fast," Lion-o said. Liosia set the cup down it still had plenty of juice.

"I am about to make dinner would you both like some?" Snarf asked.

"Sure I would love some," Lion-o said. "Liosia would you like something to eat?" he asked.

Liosia nodded hesitantly. "Okay Liosia wants a little something to eat too," Lion-o said.

A bit later Snarf came back with some food. He gave Lion-o his and placed Liosia's food on a tray and sat it on her bed. "There now you both enjoy." Snarf said.

They ate their food and soon Liosia was ready to go to sleep again. Lion-o stayed by her side all night long. The next morning Pumyra checked on Liosia. "Her fever's gone, she is now healthy as a horse." Pumyra said.

"Liosia would you like to play?" Lion-o asked.

Liosia nodded and then got out of bed and began playing with her toys that were in her capsule. She pointed at Lion-o and gave him a toy. "Oh you want me to play too?" Lion-o asked.

Liosia nodded and smiled. "Okay then I guess I can play for a while." he said.

They started to play a game. Then Panthro came in. "Lion-o," he said.

"What is it Panthro?" Lion-o asked.

"We need your help the berbils have really big harvest and they need a hand." Panthro said.

"Okay I'm coming." Lion-o said. Liosia then grabbed Lion-o's leg. He looked at her she looked scared. "You don't want me leave?" he asked.

Liosia shook her head she wanted her father to stay. "Lion-o you must go the berbils need all the help they can get if they don't get into to storage the big frost that is coming tonight will ruin the entire crop." Panthro said.

"Sorry Liosia but daddy has to go," Lion-o said. Liosia looked like she was about to cry.

"What's going on in here?" Snarf asked coming in.

"I have go help the berbils with their much larger than expected harvest and Liosia wants me to stay home," Lion-o said.

"I can watch her for you," Snarf said.

"Great Snarf I would really appreciate it." Lion-o said. Snarf came up to them. "Liosia, Snarf here is going to watch you until I get back," he said.

Liosia looked her father a little worried. "Don't worry Liosia, Snarf took good care of me when I was little. So you can trust him." Lion-o said.

Liosia saw Snarf he looked really gentle and nice. So Liosia nodded and let go of Lion-o. "Good girl I won't be back until late tonight so be good for snarf." Lion-o said. Liosia nodded and held her stuffed elephant close.
