Lion-o and Bengali made a rube goldberg device and it was suppose to feed Snarf. After seven weeks of work it was finished the recorded a video of it and worked great. "This perfect I know we will get a good grade for this," Bengali said.

"I sure hope so," Lion-o said.

Lion-o chose a topic to write about for finals history report. He chose to do a power point about ancient japan. He worked on it during five of the weeks he was working on the other project with Bengali.

Then Lion-o's phone rang. "Hello?" Lion-o said.

"Hey son how are things going?" Claudus asked.

"Hi dad, things are going alright. Snarf is doing great the little guy curls up close to me in bed at night," Lion-o said.

"Well that's one of his ways of saying he trusts you," Claudus said. "So how is school?" he asked.

"Going fine," Lion-o said. "Bengali and I finished our Physics project a little over five weeks ago and I just finished my finals history report. Now I have worry about the rest of P.E. and Family studies/child development." he said.

"That's great son, I hope you are getting enough rest." Claudus said.

"I am trying too, Bengali my roommate complains that I snore, not that I care or anything, I know I snore because a guy at sleepover recorded me doing it when I was 12 and good thing his mother stopped him from posting it online, but Bengali, he talks in his sleep, he scared the living daylights out of me once when he said 'It's the zombie apocalypse!' in his sleep. But hey I don't mind we both had a good laugh about it when it was morning," Lion-o told him.

"Well you better get back to your studies son I'll talk to you later," Claudus said.

"Okay bye," Lion-o said.

Lion-o continued his work.

"Okay now you all have been doing well with you partners. I am proud to say all of you are learning very well. Now it's time to find out what it's like to be parents." Bornia said.

Lion-o and Liosia were given a robot baby. Lion-o and Liosia took turns looking after it. It was harder than it looked. During the course of class Lion-o and Liosia became close. After the week of looking after the baby Lion-o decided to ask Liosia out on a date.

"Liosia would you like to go on a date?" Lion-o asked.

"Okay, I like Asian food," Liosia said.

"Me too, 6:30 on Friday?" Lion-o asked.

"Friday," Liosia said.

On Friday Lion-o got ready for his date. He picked up Liosia and they went out to a nice little Asian place. They talked while they had dinner it was wonderful. "What to go out again?" Lion-o asked.

"Sure, how about a movie, I really want to see this new comedy," Liosia said.

"Cool, see you then," Lion-o said.

Soon after their second date Lion-o and Liosia became a couple. They were really happy.

It was time for Thanksgiving break. Liosia was coming to meet Lion-o's parents. Lion-o wanted to meet Liosia's parents. "You will meet them soon," she said.

"I hope so," Lion-o said.

After driving for an hour they made it to his house. They came inside. "Lion-o it's so good to see you," Leona said.

"It's good to see you too," Lion-o said.

"Hello son," Claudus said.

"Mom, dad this Liosia my girlfriend," Lion-o said.

"Nice to meet you Liosia, I am Claudus," Claudus said.

"Hello, I am Leona," Leona said.

Liosia called her parents because Lion-o's parents wanted them to meet their son and they wanted to meet them. So she told them Lion-o's family want them to join the for Thanksgiving. Liosia's parents said they would come.

On Thanksgiving day there was a knock on the door it was Liosia's parents. "Hi mom and dad," Liosia said. They came in.

"This sure is a nice big house," her father said.

"Yes it is, it's just as big as ours," her mother said.

Lion-o came up. "Mom, Dad this is my boyfriend Lion-o," Liosia said.

"Nice to meet Lion-o, my name is Clawrice and Liosia told us so much about you," Clawrice said.

"Nice to meet you Lion-o I am Leonoch, I see you look just like how my daughter described you," Leonoch said.

"Mr. and Mrs. Clawer these are my parents," Lion-o said.

"Hey Leonoch I haven't seen you since you since college," Claudus said.

"Same here, I can hardy believe my old roommate's son is dating my little girl," Leonoch said.

"You two were roommates in college?' Lion-o asked.

"We sure were," Leonoch said. "We made sure we kept each other on task," he said.

"We sure did," Claudus said.

"Well I can't wait to can't to catch up with you," Leonoch said.

"I look forward to catching up with you too," Claudus said.

"Okay most of the food is ready, Lion-o I am making my famous pumpkin pie you want to help?" Leona asked.

"Sure," Lion-o said.

"Liosia I brought your favorite, my famous red velvet cake," Clawrice said.

"Thanks mom," Liosia said.

Everything was ready for the big dinner. The two families were having a nice conversation. Then after dinner Claudus and Leonoch began telling each other about their own businesses. They talked about how they met their wives and birth of their children. Leona and Clawrice talked about what they did for a living and how they met their husbands and having their children.

Lion-o and Liosia were enjoying time together as well.

Then once back at school Lion-o and Liosia finished up their finals and they were exhausted afterwards and passed with high marks. It was Christmas time now and the two of them and their families were going to spend the holidays together. Lion-o was looking for a Christmas present to give to Liosia but couldn't find the right thing. Lion-o had been saving up for a while to have enough money for Liosia's present. He found a lovely locket. It was beautiful. He had it engraved. It said, 'I love you with all my heart,' when it was finished Lion-o paid and wrapped it up.

Liosia was also looking for a gift for Lion-o. She got him new wallet because his old one was falling apart it's seams were coming undone and it was held together by tape. Liosia chose one, paid for it and wrapped it up.

Now they were all headed to Liosia's house for Christmas. Liosia lived a nice house. Lion-o's parents came over. "This is a nice house you have here," Claudus said.

"Thank we like it too," Leonoch said.

"Now we can celebrate Christmas." Lion-o said.

They enjoyed dinner and watched It's a wonderful life. "This is great movie," Lion-o said.

"Okay now that the movie is over we can rest up for Christmas tomorrow." Claudus said.

The next day it was Christmas. Everyone gathered around the tree. "Okay time to open presents." Leonoch said.

Liosia opened her first present that was from her parents. "Wow, a new dress thanks," Liosia said.

"It's lovely I can't wait to see you wear it," Lion-o said.

"Thank you," Liosia said.

Lion-o opened his first present from his parents. "Wow, the book I asked for thanks," Lion-o said.

The opening of presents continued. Liosia opened her present from Lion-o last. She opened the box and saw the locket. "Lion-o it's beautiful," Liosia said.

"I am glad you like it," Lion-o said.

Liosia was wondering what picture to put inside the locket.

Lion-o opened his present from Liosia. "Wow this great looking wallet how did you knew I needed one?" Lion-o asked.

"Well I saw your old one and bad it looked so I decided to get you new one," Liosia said.

"Thanks Liosia," Lion-o said.

Lion-o and Liosia the new year was about to begin. Lion-o's parents were throwing a new years party. It was almost midnight. "Five, four, three, two, one, happy new year!" everyone shouted.

Liosia kissed Lion-o on the cheek. "Happy new year," she said.

Then Lion-o kissed her cheek. "Happy new year," he said.

They were so happy.

Back at school the time for finals was finishing up. Lion-o and Bengali presented their project. "Good work you two, that shows many parts of physics motions, energy and electricity from batteries." Harto said.

"Thank you," Lion-o and Bengali said.

Lion-o then presented his power-point on ancient Japan. "Good work Lion-o," Panthro said.

The finals were over and now it was summer break. Lion-o and Liosia were looking forward to spending the whole summer together.

To be continued.
