Chapter 2
Lion-o was almost there to Starrina Tech. It was a long drive. Finally he made it there. "Okay here we are Starrina Tech." he said. "Now I must park," he said. He found a parking spot and parked there. He got out to go get registered.
"Okay Lion-o Roarson you are all registered,' the lady said.
"Great," Lion-o said. He went out and got his student id. He saw a great deal on the campus. "Look at all of this," he said.
Lion-o went inside to get his room key and find out who his roommate is. "Okay Lion-o Roarson room 222." the man said. "Your roommate is going into a tech program," he said.
Lion-o made it to his room. "Hello, nice to meet you I'm Bengali Wixer," Bengali said.
"I'm Lion-o Roarson," Lion-o said.
Lion-o picked his bed and placed his stuff there.
"Very nice room," Lion-o said.
"It sure is," Bengali said.
"So Bengali I hope we both graduate with top honors." Lion-o said.
"I hope so too," Bengali said.
A few days later Lion-o went to his classes. His math teacher was nice, as was his science teacher, but his English teacher made him nervous he was a like drill sergeant his other teachers were pretty nice.
After a few weeks of class Lion-o noticed he was low on food. "Aw great I'm almost out of food," Lion-o said.
"Well you have time to shopping," Bengali said.
"Okay then," Lion-o said.
Lion-o headed out to get some groceries. He made it to the store to get everything on his list. He bumped into something. "Oh sorry," Lion-o said.
"Lion-o Roarson is that you?" the big panther asked.
"Panthro?" Lion-o asked.
"Yes, I heard you were going to college here," Panthro said.
"It's great to see one of my father's friends." Lion-o said.
"It's great to see my friend's boy." Panthro said. "So doing a little grocery shopping?" he asked.
"Yes I'm getting a little low on food in the dorm. I know there are Restaurants on campus, but I don't want to eat out at those every day. One of my friends does and he gained some weight so he's doing jogging to lose it," Lion-o said.
"Yes I remember my college days I ate out so much that I couldn't fit in my favorite jeans anymore," Panthro said.
"Oh boy, well I have things to get see you later Panthro," Lion-o said.
"Okay see you later." Panthro said.
Lion-o left the store with his groceries. He heard something. It sounded almost like a kitten. He followed the sound. He saw a little kitten of the new pet that a lab came up with by splicing DNA together. The poor thing had broken leg. "Oh you poor little thing." he said. He picked it up. The little thing was understandably frightened. "It's okay," he said.
He drove off to the vet clinic. He walked in. "May help you?' a lady asked.
"I found this kitten and it seems to have a broken leg." Lion-o said.
"Okay let's take a look," the vet said.
"I found this kitten while I was at the grocery store, buying some food for my dorm and I found him outside looking all cold frightened and dirty." Lion-o said.
"You did the right thing bringing him here," the vet said. "No collar and no chip." he said. "He was either abandoned or a stray," he said.
The vet treated him. Lion-o paid the bill. "I come check on him later," Lion-o said.
Lion-o headed back to the college and started to study. A few days later he checked on the kitten. It was doing well it was happy to see him. "He seems to like you," the vet said.
"I'll talk to the college if they allow pets I'll take him," Lion-o said.
Lion-o talked to the college they said yes. Lion-o got the supplies he needed. "There, we go got what I needed." He said.
He went to the vet office and adopted him and named him Snarf.
Bengali called him cute and stroked his back. Snarf started to purr. "Friendly little guy," Bengali said.
A couple of weeks later Lion-o brought Snarf back and he got his cast off. The vet checked other things. "He's just fine." the vet said.
"Good," Lion-o said.
Snarf was playful and curious. There was a pet day care area for cat and dog like pets. Snarf was placed in it and started to make friends.
This was a great time for Lion-o.
