Gi wasn't prepared for what she has gotten herself into next. She asked the Thunderkittens if she could go with them to meat the Berbils and to see their village. Both of them agreed to give her a lift. She never thought that she was going to ride a space board to get there. She asked Wilykit to take is easy on her for this was a first time riding experience. She didn't expect for both of them to go off at full speed, now she is just doing everything she can just to hold on tight.
"I THOUGHT YOU TOLD ME, YOU WERE GONNA TAKE IT SLOW!" Gi shouted trying everything she can to stay on.
""SORRY ABOUT THAT Gi.!" Wilykit responded a loudly. "We'll start to go a little slower now." She said as both the space boards started to slow.
"Thanks Wilykit, I know you want to get there fast, but I don't want to loose my head in the process."
"Sorry, we wouldn't want that to happen. Wilykat lets stop for a moment." Wilykit says as they both their space boardscomes to a full stop.
"What's the problem Wilykit? Why did you stop?" Gi asked looking puzzled.
""Gi, didn't you ever ride a space board before.?"
"No actually the only board that I've ever rode was a surf board back home."
"Well a space board has just about the same conditions as a surf board."
"What are you talking about?" Gi wonders as Wilykit jumps off of her board and on to Wilykat's board.
"Wilykit, what are you doing?" Gi said looking scared.
"Just trust us Gi." Wilykat said trying to calm Gi down. "We're gonna give you a quick lesson on riding the Space boards."
"That's right and besides it is on our way to the village anyway." Wilykit said.
"OK, if your sure about this." Gi said trying to muster enough strength to give it a try. "So what do I do first?"
"The first thing you have to do is just let everything go and just become one with the board." Wilykat started to say." You just need to keep a good sense of balance."
"You should talk Wilykat, I remember when we first got our boards, you were having a lot more problems then I was keeping your balance." Wilykit said stating a fact.
"Hey, I've gotten a lot better since then, with zero falls mind you."
"Ah if you guys are done reminiscing, could you please turn your focus back around towards me?" Gi said trying to get their attention.
"Oh, sorry about that Gi." Wilykit said now focusing her attention on Gi.
"Yea me too, sorry." Wilykat also commented.
"No problem, now let me just see if I got it. I just need to have a perfect balance." Gi tried to keep her balance but slipped right off the board and hit the ground a little hard. "Ouch, man that hurts."
"Gi, are you ok? Is anything broken?" Wilykit asked while jumping off Wilykat's board and heading over to Gi.
"Nope, nothing expect my pride." Gi said as she started to get back up.
"Maybe we should skip the lesson plan for now, until you've seen how it's done." Wilykat said.
"Now that is a good idea." Gi said agreeing with him.
"Sorry about that Gi. I guess we thought you could handle it first time out." Wilykit said trying to be apologetic.
"Its ok you two, now come on I really would like to meet those Berbils as long as we don't try any more crazy stunts. OK?"
"OK" They both said .
"You know we're not that far from the village anyway. What do you say we just walk the rest of the way and we'll explain more about riding the boards." Wilykit offered.
"You know what Wilykit, that sounds like a good idea." Gi said as she was rubbing a little dirt from her dress.
After the little flying space board class, all three of them reached the Berbil village with no problem. Gi, still getting used to this world and all of it's creatures was more blown away from what she saw. This village was about half the size of normal houses with circular roofs each holding as assortment of different flowers in each one. Then she saw the Berbils, little mechanical bears all covered with fur mostly on their ears, chest, arms and legs. As they entered the village the leader approached the group.
"Hello Thundercats, what can we do for you today." The leader spoke.
"Hello there Ro-Ber-Bill." Wilykit spoke. "I would like to introduce to you our friend Gi a Planeteer."
"Planeteer? Like the other two we've met before." Ro-Ber-Bill said in a robotic style voice.
"Are you related to the others we've met cleaning up our dead crops?"
"Yes I am." Said Gi. "It is an honor to meet all of you." She said while kneeling down to shake the Berbil's hand. "By the way, my name is Gi."
"It is our pleasure to make you acquaintance Gi. Now what can we do for you?"
"We were wondering if you and Ro-Ber-Bell would like to come to a celebration dinner for all of the Planeteers.? Wilykat spoke.
"That would be perfect Thundercats. We were just wondering about Wheeler and Linka for a while now. I'm glad they have got you back Gi."
"Thank you Ro-Ber-Bill I'm glad to be reunited with my friends as well." Gi said as she started to get up.
"Is there anything else you need Thundercats?"
"Would you mind if we took some supplies for the dinner?"
"Of course not, we have plenty of food here."
"You do, but I was told about what happened to your fields." Gi said starting to feel a selfish.
"Don't worry about it, fields can be replanted and besides with the other fields we more than enough food for us and yourselves"
'That's good to know, I didn't want you to think we were trying to rob you or something."
"Don't worry about it. We'll start gathering the food right away." Ro-Ber-Bill said as he was starting to turn around. "Would all of you like to help us?"
"Don't have to ask us twice." Wilykat said as they all started to help pick the Berbils fields.
Gi couldn't believe what was growing on those trees, human fruit, Berbil Fruit of all kind and candy fruit. Now that really surprised Gi. She couldn't believe that there was trees here that was growing nothing but candy. While she was helping to pick them, she almost had a piece of the candy fruit cause she wanted to know what it tasted like.
"You can try one if you like Gi." Ro-Ber-Bill said as he saw Gi thinking about it.
"Are you sure, I wouldn't want to be rude to anyone." Gi replied
"It is OK so go right ahead." he replied
With that Gi took a piece of the candy fruit and put it in her mouth. She was completely blown away by the sweetness and the taste. "This stuff is incredible, do you think I could take some seedlings along, my friend Kwami loves to grow stuff."
"Of course not, but why do you want to have some seeds for him to grow."
"Well if he tasted the same sweetness that I just did, he would like to know where you got them from. I don't think that he would have believed me if I told him that they come from seeds."
"Sure thing, I'll get some before we leave."
"Thank you very much."
"Your welcome."
The rest of the time was spent picking as much food and fruit as the baskets could handle. After all that was done the Berbils carefully loaded the baskets on to the Space Boards and then Ro-Ber-Bill and Ro-Ber-Bell both climbed on with Gi and the Thunderkittens.
"This so going be so much fun, I think Snarf is really going to out due himself in the kitchen tonight." Wilykit said as they were getting ready to leave.
"Fine then, but do me a favor Wilykit." Gi asked hoping she will get a good answer." Lets just take it slow OK."
"Ok ok ok, you win Gi we'll take it slow. We don't want to loose a single basket anyway."
With that Gi and the Thunderkittens started to leave the Berbil village and started to head back to the Lair with their cargo and two of the invited guests.
A the same time Panthro and the Thundertank was moving cross country towards the home of the Unicorn Keepers. Panthro always liked to take his tank out for spin, even after all of the hard work he put in to building it when they first crash landed on their new home. He was also very impressed as to how well Wheeler helped him fix all of the damage that Duke Nukem caused the first time they met him. Panthro was nearly at his destination, and he knows that the keepers do not allow any loud machines into their forest. He didn't want to scare away any of the Unicorns that were in the area unnecessarily. When her approached the forest border, he stopped the tank and got out hoping to find the keepers.
"UNICORN KEEPERS, ARE YOU HERE?!" Panthro started to shout.
"IT'S PANTHRO FROM THE THUNDERCATS, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.!"
After a moment of waiting, Panthro saw the elderly couple emerge from a bunch of trees with one of their Unicorns right besides them.
"Hello Thundercat. What brings you to our forest today? " The elderly woman Unicorn Keeper asked.
"I've come to invite the two of you to join us for a celebration dinner."
"We would be honored to accept your invitation. Can we ask what the celebration is for?
"Not at all. The celebration is to honor our new guests back at Cat's Lair. I've believe you've already met one of them."
"Are you talking about the young lady that we've met a few hours ago?"
"Yes. Her name is Gi and we've just finished locating the rest of her friends. The party to celebrate their reunion. Plus it would also give them a chance to introduce themselves to all of the people that they met when they first arrived. If that is alright with you."
"We would be happy to see Gi again. Our Unicorn friend here was very taken in by her when they first met." The female keep said as she started to point to the Unicorn.
"Well then, bring the Unicorn along then, I'm sure Gi would be happy to see her again. I've brought the Thundertank with me, it is at the entrance to your forest."
"That is not necessary, we will follow you back to the lair." The elderly man said as the unicorn bent down and the couple climbed on her back.
"Alright then just follow me back to the tank and I'll escort you both there." Panthro said as he and the couple headed back to the tank.
"I really think that Gi, is gonna be more blown away then ever when she sees the two of you and the Unicorn."
"I'm sure our friend here will be also happy to see her again as well." The elderly woman said.
When the group reached the tank, Panthro jumped back into the driver seat and re-started the engines. Then all four of them started to head back to the lair, hopefully this is gonna be one celebration that no one will forget.
While Panthro and the kittens went to collect their guests, Cheetara was having a more difficult problem going to collect Snowmon and Snowmeow. Even though she knew that the Hovercat was fast, she had to make sure that she kept the turbines running so that the engine wouldn't start to freeze up. As she made it to the top and headed towards the castle, she was still wondering how her two new friends were able to survive up here with out the proper clothing. She remembered when Lion-O first climbed the mountain to meet it's guardian. She had given him a red cape that she was working on in order to try and keep him warm. He did eventually make it to the top, but then he had to do battle with the Snowman in order to collect a giant piece of Thundrillum that crashed into the Snowman's kingdom. Needless to say that after that little squirimsh the Snowman allowed him and his team to collect the fragment and agreed to become allies.
Now Cheetara hopes that the Snowman would gladly accept the Thundercats invitation to join them in welcoming their new friends. As she reached the Castle walls the ice draw bridge started to open.
"Greetings Thundercat, what are you doing here?" The Snowman asked while he was crossing the draw bride towards the Hovercat.
"I've come to invite you to a special dinner celebration."
"What may I ask what this celebration is for?"
"Do you remember the two strangers who were here on your mountain from before?"
"Yes I remember, how are they feeling?"
"They are just fine. In fact that is what the celebration is for. We have found all the rest of their team and they would really like to meet you and Snowmeow."
"I would be honored Thundercat." He said and then turned to the fallen draw .bridge. "SNOWMEOW, COME HERE MY FRIEND! WE ARE GOING TO SEE OUR FRIENDS AGAIN AT THE CAT'S LAIR" Snowman shouted towards the entrance into the castle.
After a fem moments Snowmeow, Snowman's trusted steed emerged from the castle and headed towards his master. Cheetara then decided to climb off the Hovercat while keeping the engines running to keep it warm.
"Hello there Snowmeow." Cheetara said as she bent over to pet her furry friend.
"Snowmeow, Cheetara is here to invite us to a celebration dinner for ournew friends who we've met before."
Snowmeow looked up at his master and then over at Cheetara while purring the whole time.
"Snowmeow, would and your master care to join us?"
After a few moments Snowmeow started to lick Cheetara's face
"I believe you've got your answer there Cheetara." the Snowman said as Cheetara was laughing.
"I'm glad you are both coming with me. Everyone will be happy." She said as she started to get back yup.
"Would you like a lift down to the lair?"
"I'll ride Snowmeow. Something tells me that I think he would prefer if I rode him." He said as his furry companion leaned up to him.
"Alright then, lets get going." Cheetara said as she re-boarded the Hoverkat.
"You heard her Snowmeow. Lets go." Snowman said as he climbed onto of his furry friend.
Within moments Cheetara and the last of their guests headed down the mountain to rejoin the others in what is going to be the best celebration and get together that Third Earth has ever seen.
