As the other Thundercats was gathering their friends for the party, Ma-Ti along with Kwami, Wheeler and Linka, followed Pumyra in the medical lab of Cat's Lair. There they saw Bengali getting ready to conduct his medical scans to make sure that the medicine they used is not causing Ma-Ti any problems.
"Hello there Ma-Ti." Bengali said "Are you ready to begin?"
"I think so, but I am a little scared." Ma-Ti replied
"Do not worry Ma-Ti nothing will happen to you." Linka said
"Yea little buddy, you could say it is like getting your picture taken." Wheeler said also trying to help out.
"Thank you my friends. I am starting to feel a little better now." Ma-Ti replied.
"My friend, that is what we are all here for." Kwami added.
"If you are ready please sit down and we will begin the scan." Pumyra said as she brought over a stool for Ma-Ti to sit down on.
"I am, so lets get this over with." Ma-Ti said as he took a seat. "Is it OK if my friends stayed as well, I would feel a lot better then."
"I see no reason for them not to stay." Bengali said as he started to run the medical scan.
The medical lab that the Planeteers and the Thundercats are in was completely state of the art. The computers there could either analyze all medical scans or break down the chemical composition of any blood sample or make an antidote to any poison. This scan was only to detect if there was any side effects to the medicines that were used in saving Ma-Ti's life.
"So far so good Ma-Ti." Bengali said as he was moving the medical scanner around the Planeteer. "We should be done in a few minutes."
"What a relief. I feel like a statue."
"Just make sure no birds decides to land on you buddy." Wheeler said while joking around.
"Wheeler why do say stuff like that at the wrong time for?" Linka said while rolling her eyes at him.
"Just trying to lighten the mood babe.." Wheeler said as he put his arm around her waist.
"Nyet Wheeler, this is not the place for that." She said trying to stop him. "And if you continue doing this, then Bengali will have another patient to work on." She said with a smile
Everyone started to giggle at that point especially Ma-Ti.
"Thank you everyone that is just what needed." Ma-Ti said looking at his friends. "I"ve missed the constant failed flirting that the two of you go into everyday."
"MA-TI, THAT IS NOT FUNNY!" Linka said while giving Ma-Ti a very angry stare.
"Come on babe, lighten up." Wheeler said while looking at Linka's reaction. "You have to admit, Ma-Ti does have a point in that."
"A point in what Yankee?" She said now giving the look to Wheeler.
"We always seem to drive each other crazy in one way or another, and just between the two of us, I kinda like that."
"You are completely impossible Yankee. What are we gonna do with you.?"
"Well I have a few good ideas for that if you would like to know."
"Yankee, save that thought for another time and place or else."
While Linka and Wheeler were starting to go at it again the others started to laugh while Bengali finished his scans.
"Are they always like this?" Pumyra said asking about Wheeler and Linka.
"Yes. Almost everyday they are like that. But we know that they like each other." Kwami said trying to help ease the tension.
"It's one of the reason's why we like them so much." Ma-Ti said.
"WE HEARD THAT!" Linka and Wheeler said after they heard that last remark.
"Alright then if we are done with the comedy show, I have one more test to run." Bengali said as Pumyra gave him a surgical type needle. "I need to take a blood sample, I'm sorry to do this, but I have to make sure that everything is fine.'
Ma-Ti nodded his head and Bengali took a small sample from Ma-Ti's left arm. "There that was the last test. Lets see what the computer says." Bengali says while he inputs all of the readings and the blood sample into the unit.
"I'm sorry that we distracted you a little with our little show of banter Pumyra and Bengali." Wheeler said trying to be sorry.
"It's OK, besides we were wondering what you guys do in your off time anyway." Pumyra added.
"Trust us, this is not how we usually spend our free time." Linka said causing a slight chuckle in the Planeteers.
After a few moments, the computers started to beep and both Thundercats went to check on the readings." Well Ma-Ti, your results came back negative for any side effects." Bengali said.
"That is good news." Ma-Ti said as he jumped off the stool and walked back over to his friends.
"Congratulations little buddy, I'd have a feeling you would make it out alright." Wheeler said.
"Yes, well done my friend." Kwami entered.
"Da, good to have you back at perfect health." Linka added.
"Well since there is nothing more to do here, Why don't Pumyra and I show you to your guest room while the others can get started setting up for dinner tonight." Bengali said.
"That is a good idea, I really need a shower after what I went threw."
"Little buddy, you don't know the half of it." Wheeler said as they all started to laugh again.
With all that taken care of Bengali and Puimyra took Ma-Ti to his guest room while Wheeler, Kwami and Linka got started setting up the main meeting hall for the party, with the help of the other Thundercats as well.
The Thundercats were no strangers to having a celebration ceremony, but for the Planeteers it was a whole new ball game. The Thundrecats of course asked the Planeteers for any ideas that might be useful in this situation. Linka and Kwami told the Thundeercats about some of the items they were used to using such as candles and live music being played. Wheeler was helping by moving around the chairs to accommodate all the guests they were sitting. Everything was nearly done and the guests should be arriving soon.
"Linka why don't you go and check on Ma-Ti, Wheeler and I can wrap things up here." Kwami said hoping to have a word alone with Wheeler,
"You sure you got this covered?' Linka answered.
"Don't worry about it babe, just go check on Ma-Ti. H would probability need an honest opinion on what the kittens left in his room. "
"Da." She said while laughing. "I'll leave you guys to it then." She said then left to head for Ma-Ti's room.
"Wheeler I need to talk to you about your behavior from before." Kwami started.
"Look Kwami, if you are going to scold me for just trying to lighten the mood around here" Wheeler started to say until Kwami interrupted.
"It is not that my friend, I know you mean well but sometimes it is hard to tell."
"I know, I guess that growing up like I did I sorta have a built-in defense wall for some types of situations."
"Like this one?'
"And sometimes with Linka. It's not all bad though. I mean it keeps all of us on our toes from time to time."
"On that I can understand, but for tonight lets just try to keep the banter jokes to a small minimal. OK?"
"You got it Kwami. Besides I'm sure interested in meeting everyone else as well."
"I'll bet the same can be said about the others too."
"Yea, don't I know it. Out of all the Eco-Missions that we have had since being Planeteers, I never thought to be a Space Explorer at all."
"Is that from another TV show of yours from the US?"
"Yea, I'll explain the meaning of it later."
"Can't wait to hear it. Com on , lets go see what Ma-Ti and Linka are doing and then wait for our friends to arrive."
"Deal."
After that little conversation, the two Planeteers left the conference hall and started to head up towards the guest rooms.
At the same time Ma-Ti had just finished his shower and quickly changed into the Thundercat garments that were left in his room. Ma-Ti couldn't believe what he was wearing. The outfit that was picked out for him was almost the same style as the outfit that Wilykat wears, minus the pockets and capsules. The Thundeercat symbol was on his belt buckle, but Ma-Ti decided to also wear his traditional feather necklace. He figured it would be alright, besides it had sentimental value. After a few moments there was on knock on his door.
"Come in its unlocked."
The door opened and Linka started to walk in to check on her friend.
"Hello Ma-Ti, is everything in here ok?"
"I think so, these clothes do make me look a little strange dough."
"Da, but we are guests in their home and it would be rude at least not to accept them as a gesture of good faith."
"I understand. What do you make of our new friends Linka?"
"I think that they are all trying their best to help us out, and I wouldn't have it any other way." She paused then started again. "It is hard to be accepted by new people no matter where they come from."
"Is that how you felt when you first met us too?"
"To be honest, Da. I've had some problems getting used to you guys." She paused while heading for the bed to sit down. "But it has been interesting non the less."
"Even a certain young Amerinca boy who drives you crazy from time to time?"
Linka starting to blush. "Da, even him. I don't know if he will ever change but you want to know something, I think that is what I love most about him. His ability to make us laugh even it the most difficult positions."
"Linka, why don't you just marry him and get all this craziness over with?"
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND MA-TI!" She started to scream but then lowered her voice. I do want to marry him, but I want to do it back on Earth."
"Linka, I'm sure we will get home soon, it's only gonna be a matter of time."
"Da, I know but I am still worried about Gaia. She doesn't even know where we are. I hope she is not worried about us."
"Linka, Gaia knows that we can take care of ourselves, besides she trusts us completely to make the right decisions."
"Thank you Ma-Ti, that is just what I needed to hear." Linka said as she gave her friend a hug.
Just then another knock was made on the door while Linka was still giving Ma-Ti a hug. "Da, Come In"
Kwami and Wheeler both entered the room seeing Linka giving Ma-Ti a hug on the bed." If this is a bad time we could always leave and come back later." Wheeler said with a little joke in his voice.
"Very funny Yankee , very funny." Linka said as she and Ma-Ti got up and she released her hold on Ma-Ti. Then she walked over to Wheeler and gave him a gentle nudge.
"Glad to see she hasn't changed much right now." Kwami said as they all started to laugh.
Just then another voice came out from the doorway. "Excuse me Planeteers" The voice said.
Then they all turned around and found Snarf right in front of them. "What can we do for you Snarf " Kwami said.
"Snarf…snarf…I just thought you would like to know that the Thunderkittens, Cheetara, and Panthro are just coming back with your friends. That is if you would like to go meet them."
"That sounds like a great idea Snarf. What do you guys say about that?" Wheeler asked.
"Da, sound like fun." Linka replied
"Then lets go and meet them." Kwami said
After they spoke, Wheeler, Linka Ma-Ti, and Kwami all walked down the hall and headed for the front door to meet and greet their friends on their return trip.
As they all walked out the main door they started to see the Thunderkittens ,Panthro and Cheetara make they way up along with their friends. Once they all came out of the front door, the four Planeteers made their way to help and meet their friends.
" Snowman, Snowmoew, good to see you guys again." Wheeler said as he and Linka went to greet the pair.
"Da, it is great to see the both of you."
"I'm glad to see you as well my friends, I like what you are wearing." Snowman said as he saw the outfits that both Linka and Wheeler are wearing.
"Da, you can thank Wheeler's tailor for these clothes." Linka said as they all laughed. "Good to see you as well big cat." Linka said as she went down to pet Snowmeow, and the can licked her face. They all started laughing again.
"Hey guys, aren't you gonna introduce us to your friends here." Kwami said as he and Ma.- Ti joined them.
"Kwami, Ma-Ti I would like for you to meat Snowman and Snowmeow. They saved our lives back on Hook Mountain."
"Da, we are forever in your dept." Linka said.
"Nice to meet you Snowman, Snowmeow." Kwami said as he extended his hand.
"Pleasure is mine, any friend of these two is a friend of mine as well." Snowman said accepting his hand.
"I believe the other are waiting for you in the Conference room Snowman, we'll be there shortly after we get Gi." Linka said
"OK my friends Snowmeow and I will see you there." With that said Snowman and Snowmeow entered the lair.
As Cheetara was getting off of the Hovercat,Wheeler walked over to talk to her.
"Um Cheetara, have you got a minute." He asked while Cheetara was getting off the vehicle.
"Yes Wheeler what is it?"
"Umm look I've never been good at asking anybody this before, and this is my first time asking for anything like this at all."
"Wheeler what is it you need to ask me?' Cheetara said now looking very curious.
"Umm I was wondering if you had anything that I could use for a temporarily engagement Ring for Linka?"
"What brought this on, if I may ask?"
"I've been wanting to ask her for a while now, but I just didn't have the chance." Wheeler paused and then he continued. "I just don't want to waist any more time, so do you think you could help me?"
"Let me see what I have and I'll let you know." Cheetara said making Wheeler very happy. " Now you better get back over to your friends. Looks like one of them is a little Space Board sick." Cheetara says as they both look over at Gi and the Thunderkittens.
"Ok and thanks again Cheetara." Wheeler said while he was walking over to Gi and the others.
While Wheeler was talking to Cheetara, both Kwami and Linka made their way over to help out Gi.
"Hey there Gi, is everything OK with you?" Linka asked while looking puzzled at Gi's reaction.
"Lets just say that I have a whole new perspective to riding my surfboard at home after this." Gi said as she started to get off the Space Boards.
"Hello there Linka, its been a while." the little metallic bear said
"Hello there Ro-Ber-Bill, and Rob-BerBell. Its been a while."
"Yes it has been a while. You look much better now than the last time." Ro-Ber-Bell now stated.
"Yes I'm glad to see that as well." Ro-Ber-Bill said.
"Thank you, oh by the way I would Like to introduce you both to Ma-Ti and Kwami."
"Pleased to meet both of you. I've heard some nice things about the Planeteers from Linka and Wheeler."
"It is a pleasure to meet you as well." Kwami said
"It is my pleasure to meet the two of you also." Ma-Ti said now looking at the baskets of food on both Space Boards. "Gi, where did you get all of this food from?"
"I've picked it up with the Thunderkittens at the Berbil Village. I'll tel you all about it after we get everything inside.
Just Wheeler joined the group and was happy to see his friends as well but also surprised to see who else was here.
"Ah Gi, are those two people and the animal friends of yours?" Wheeler asked .
After Wheeler asked her that question, Gi turned around to notice both the Unicorn keepers and their Unicorn.
"What are you guys doing here?" Gi said as the couple walked over to the Planeteers.
"Panthro invited us to come for the celebration dinner." The elderly Unicorn keeper said.
"I'm so glad that you both could make it." She paused felling so happy. "Let me introduce my friends Wheeler, Kwami, Linka and Ma-ti, my fellow Planeteers."
"It's a fine pleasure to meet all of you." The female keeper said.
"How do you two know Gi?" Ma-Ti asked.
"I've met them a while after I appeared on the beach." Gi replied
"And our friend here told us that she wasn't a threat to anyone" The female keeper said as she gestured for the Unicorn to join them.
"Gi you weren't kidding about seeing Unicorns."Linka said still surprised at what she was looking at.
"I know Linka, strange things sure have happened to us today." She answered.
"Our friend here can tell if your heart is pure." The keeper continued. "Who you like to try and test it?
"I would be honored to be tested." Kwami said as he was moving towards the Unicorn.
The animal paused a moment while looking into Kwami's eyes, then after a moment it moved its head up and down his face.
"When he does that it means that he knows that you are not a threat." The female keeper said.
"Now that is a great honor, to be judged by a Unicorn." Kwami answered.
"Ma-Ti, Linka, Wheeler, you guys should give it a try. "Kwami said.
"I don't think that it would like me guys, at least not the way I've been raised. I think that my heart may be a little dark." Said wheeler not trying to disrespect anyone.
As Wheeler said that he didn't expect the Unicorn to come over to him and look into his eyes. "Is he supposed to be doing that? I'm starting to get a little nervous."
"It is OK my young friend, this is how he can determine how truly pure you are even if you don't know it yourself." The elder male keeper said.
After a while the Unicorn's head did something rare, the Unicorn moved its head right towards Wheeler's arm and laid its head under his hand.
"My my my we haven't seen him do this in a long time." The female keeper said.
"What do you mean, what is he doing?" Wheeler asked looking almost terrified.
"He has seen your heart and have seen all of the heartaches and challenges that you have been through."
Then the Unicorn moved away from Wheeler and went behind Linka and pushed her towards him. "Now what is he doing?" Wheeler asked again looking even more confused.
"When our friend looked into your heart he found something that no one has ever had before. And that same feeling comes from you as well my dear."
"Me?" Linka said looking really confused.
"Yes my dear. When a person has such a strong connection to someone it becomes so strong that it can even be transcend to a point where it can guide a person's feelings for another." She paused a moment then continued. "Your heart my dear and his heart have this strong connection for each other."
"Are you sure that he just made a mistake?" Linka asked.
"No my dear, our friend here never makes mistakes when it comes to this feeling.
"I think that maybe we should bring in the food so that Snarf can get started" Wilykit said trying to distract everyone.
"Good idea Wilykit." Kwami said." Lets bring in the food. Linka Wheeler I think you have some things to talk about."
"I think your right about that Kwami, but I think its better to discuss them after the celebration." Wheeler spoke. "That alright with you babe?"
"Da. Da, lets bring in the food Yankee." Linka said.
As Linka and Wheeler helped Wilykit and Wilykat bring in the Berbil food towards the kitchen, the other stayed outside for a little longer.
"Are you sure about what your friend here saw in Wheeler and Linka's hearts?" Kwami ask.
"Yes my friend. A Unicorn's scenes are much more attuned then anyone elses." The Elder keeper said.
"I really do hope that they get it together, it sure would be nice for both of them." Gi said while she started to squeal.
"I'm glad that our friend here was able to help your friends out. But it also came because it missed you." The keeper said as the Unicorn cam over by Gi and just like before moved its head up and down her face and neck.
"STOP IT THAT TICKLES!' Gi said with lots of laughter.
"I think the Unicorn has got a crush on you Gi" Ma-Ti said seeing the glee in Gi and the Unicorn's eyes.
"We'll send our friend home for now, but he will come back in a few hours." the elder keeper said as he gestured the animal to leave.
"Will he be OK?" Gi asked as the keepers came over to her.
"He will be just fine my dear. Now lets go inside so that we can all get to know you and the others much better." The woman keeper said.
"That sounds like a great idea." Ma-Ti said.
"Yes my friend, I am feeling a hungry myself." Kwami said.
"Don't let Wheeler hear you say that, cause if he did then we would really be in trouble." Gi said as all of the Planeteers started to laugh.
After they were done having a good laugh, they went back inside the lair with the Unicorn keepers as well as the rest of the Thundercats to enjoy a well deserved meal.
