*Writers Note* Time will be stetched over a longer period of time then in the show. This takes place well after the annointment trials but years before new thundera.This might slowly turn into a songfic but not like a musical script, as I go I might add in things here and there for the characters.

Key:

POV: Name = A change in point of view

Italics = Character's thoughts

POV: Cheetara

It was a nice day outside for third earth and most of the thundercats kept themselves busy with there own activities. Bengali kept an eye on the scanners while Tygra helped Panthro with some new tech for Cat's Lair, Lion-O along with Snarf and the twins went out on a walk, Snarfer and Lynx-O tended to the tower, and I look through old boxes with Pumyra.

We'd talk about our interests, memories, and what we dreamed of when we were little. Then Pumyra finds a box with items she doesn't recognize.

She looks inside and sees a picture with a family of 5. "Hey Cheetara is this your family?" This caught my attention so I went to sit next to her.

I took the picture and looked at it with loving eyes. "Yes, that's me, my parents, and my brother and sister."

Surprised, Pumyra said "I didn't know you had a brother and sister."

"Thats because I never told anyone." I explained.

"And why's that?"

I paused for a minute before saying "We were all so close... And after thundera I couldn't bring myself to talk about it."

She put a hand on my shoulder "I'm sorry, I know it's hard to cope with it sometimes."

I smiled at my friend and reached into the box to see what else was inside. I would usually find old books and pictures, sometimes I'd find a photo album and show Pumyra. "Here's my parents at there wedding and this was when they bought my sister back from the hospital."

Pumyra smiled at all the pictures and noticed I wasn't in any of my sister's baby photos. "Where are you in all these? I see your family but I don't see you or your brother."

I explained to her "I'm the middle child and my brother was the youngest"

"Ohhh ok"

I show her some more photos then I reach into the box and my hand comes across something cold and smooth. I pull it out to see a golden locket.

"Whats that?"

"Its an old locket" I open it to see my parents, me, and my sister in a picture. "This is an older 1, my brother must not've been born yet"

"'An older 1? You have more?"

"Yea, it was a family tradition. Every year or 2 we'd get our own lockets, whether it was a necklace or a keychain or something, and we would always take a family photo and put inside it so we could see how much we've grown but still realize that no matter what we were always together." I smile at the memories of my family. I miss them, oh how I miss them. I've always hoped they survived Thundera but a part of me knows they're probably gone.

She seems to notice the events replaying in my head so she attempts to cheer me up. "That's beautiful Cheetara, maybe we can find some more."

"Maybe, there are plenty of boxes left" I say with a chuckle and we start looking through boxs labeled 'Cheetara' or 'Tara'. After laughing and talking we finally find a box of jewelry and inside was a jewelry box designated for lockets. "Here they are!" I open it and we look at all the silver and gold necklaces each with their own unique designs. We look through them and compare how some pictures look identical and how others look completely different from the year before.

Pumyra finds 1 that looks more recent then the others. "When did you guys take this 1?"

"The year should be engraved on the back."

There was 1 family photo and the other was a picture of the 3 of us with our arms around each other as if we're about to or just finished wrestling against ourselves. She checks the back and it reads '3010' in elegant cursive writing as she says "This was the last 1 you made wasn't it?"

I look at it then say "Yes, that was a few months before thundera was destroyed." I take it and put it around my neck then inside my uniform so the others won't notice.

We look at some more things and I take a pretty much empty box and put some things inside it so I can bring them to my room.

"Hey Cheetara what's this?" She pulls out a journel with a leather cover and she's about to unwrap the string before I take it, being careful to do so gently that way I don't seem rude.

"Oh its nothing. Just... An old diary from when I was little. My dad gave me this and I used it for diary entries and stuff like that."

"Well lets open it! See what the past you wrote" she jokingly winks at me. She probably thinks I wrote something embarrassing in here, which isn't entirely wrong but it definitely wasn't written by me. Though she doesn't need to know that. Nobody does.

"Its... uh, pretty embarrassing actually," I fake a laugh "y'know how cubs are" hoping she buys it.

"Ok ok, fine" she laughs then snarf comes into the room.

"Snarf snarf, hi guys! Tygra said you might be here."

"Hi snarf, what brings you back here so soon?" I asked as Pumyra adds "Yea snarf we thought you, Lion-O, and the kittens went out for a walk"

He stands on his tail and says "Yea but they got a little hungry and ran out of snacks so Lion-O and I figured we'd come back and see if the rest of you wanted to join us, snarf"

Pumyra looks at me and shrugs her shoulders "Why not? Let's go!" Then she follows snarf.

"Are you coming Cheetara?"

"Yea just a minute, I'll be right there" with that they leave as I look back down at the journal and trace my fingers over the water symbol on the cover. Then I put it back in the box with a sigh and head to the kitchen.
