DISCLAIMER: I do not own ThunderCats.
"We can stop here, it'll be night soon."
I fell backwards onto the waiting leaves. We had been running all day because we had to put some distance between the Bad Guys and ourselves. I blew the excess hair out of my eyes so it settled beside my face.
Lion-O moaned as he sat on a nearby log. I threw my arm over my face to block out the sun rays but lifted them to get a better look at him.
He had hunched over but was smiling down at a row of ants stomping back to there den. Even in the gloomiest of moods he found the smallest thing to make the situation bright again. He would made a great king one day.
Then I moved on to his features. He had a strong jaw and although his hair was tousled and wild, it seemed to fit his boyish personality.
The last thing I looked at was his eyes. The prettiest blue color when he was happy, they would meld to an aqua green when he was mad.
I refused to think about his li- Nope, not even say it.
I crunched my leg to my stomach and arched my back before pushing myself off the ground. Lion-O's eyes flicked up to me before he looked into the forests canopy.
"We ran from one wet first to a dryer one, only to have it rain and make it as wet as the other." He just chuckled at my logic.
"This is a redwood forest. It's one of the few things we have left from First Earth*. Some live to be over thousands of years old." He leaned back into the tree. I sat down and scooted over to him.
I spent the rest of the night sitting by Lion-O listening to him spew random facts about everything and anything.
When he started talking about mechanics I could throw in a few tidbits about the structures of the lizards weaponry because I had studied it from the roof windows back in my village.
He just smirked and under his breath I heard him whisper "I should have know."
"What?" I was really confused, I mean isn't knowing about the enemy's firepower a good thing?
"Only you would know how to dismantle and rewire a giant, missile-firing robot." He smiled and I couldn't help but smile to.
His smile was contagious, you couldn't help but be happy.
*Ok so they called the planet they live on Third Earth so I'm guessing we're First Earth. Logic.
I'm to lazy to look over all the words so sorry if I messed up somewhere.
