Chapter 29 how Lion-o met Snarf

The Thundercats were camping out at night and Snarf was curled up in Lion-o's lap. Lion-o scratched Snarf behind the ear. Snarf started to purr. Wilykat and Wilykit had been wondering something for a long time. So they decided to asked right now.

"Hey Lion-o, how did you meet Snarf and how he became your pet?' Wilykat asked.

"Yes I have been wondering about that too," Pumyra said.

"Same here," Cheetara said.

"I thought you got him as a present," Bengali said.

"I think many of us were," Lynx-o said.

"Yeah like for your birthday," Liosia said.

"Actually it's a bit more complicated then that." Lion-o said.

"Yes a lot more complicated," Tygra said.

"Yes I was there so it is a story that needs to be told," Panthro said.

"Oh yeah I remember that," Panella said.

"Okay it all began when I was five years old," Lion-o said.

Flashback.

Lion-o and Tygra were playing together in Thundera's town square. Then they saw a weird creature run by with trash tied to it's tail and kids chasing it. "Hey look Tygra," Lion-o said and followed.

"Lion-o wait up," Tygra said.

They saw the creature cornered in the alley. "Hey leave him alone he did nothing to you," Lion-o said.

"Yeah back off, it's just little animal now leave him alone." Tygra said standing in front of the kids.

The kids ran off after Tygra intimidated them. Lion-o walked up to the animal and the little creature looked frightened. "Okay stay still, I'm going to get that off you," Lion-o said.

Then the creature scratched him. "Lion-o are you okay?" Tygra asked.

"Yes I'm fine it's just frightened." Lion-o said. "I don't blame you little guy you must have it pretty rough, I just want to help." he said.

Then it calmed down and Lion-o got the trash of his tail and took off the rope on it's snout. "There, now you are fine now," Lion-o said. Then it licked his face.

Then Lion-o and Tygra snuck the critter into the palace. They saw Grune's pet Rasono Demon. "Last thing we need is to wake up Demon." Tygra said.

"Agreed." Lion-o said.

They took the little critter to Lion-o's room and used a damp wash cloth to clean it up. Then Lion-o used his old brush he doesn't use anymore to brush the creature. "You sure are a scrawny little thing," Lion-o said.

"Yes he is," Tygra said.

"He needs a name how about Snarf?" Lion-o said.

The little critter meowed happily he liked that name. "Okay then Snarf it is," Tygra said.

Over the next couple of days the two young princes have been sneaking food into Lion-o's room and they made sure Snarf stayed out of sight.

But Panthro was suspicious. "Grune I think the young princes are hiding something." he said.

"I agree Demon has been acting more aggressive than normal." Grune said.

Then one day Snarf ran out of the room and Grune and Panthro caught it and took it to the king. Luckily for Snarf Lion-o and Tygra came to the rescue. "Please leave him alone we brought him into the palace, he was get bullied by some kids and we couldn't leave him there. So we have been taking care of him." Lion-o said.

"It's true, we have been looking after Snarf just like you look after us father. We have been responsible for him." Tygra said.

"Okay it may stay." Claudius said.

"Lion-o I think he should be yours you did more and took off the ropes that was tangled to him." Tygra said.

"Here that Snarf it's you and me forever!" Lion-o said.

Snarf jumped in Lion-o's arms and licked his face.

Flashback ends.

"That was a great story," Wilykit said.

"Yes and it's all true," Tygra said.

"Yes Snarf had become a part of life at the palace and boy and we will get into the problems Snarf and Demon caused those to creatures hated each other," Panthro said.

"Yes, but that is another story," Lion-o said.
