Thundercats HO!

Lion-o had been having a strange dream where he and Tygra were step-brothers that hated each other. It was almost a relief when he woke up. Then he realized that what woke him was the shrieking coming from all over the dorms.

For a moment, he wondered if he should go check out what was going on. Then he remember the last time he tried to help someone and how that turned out. It wasn't the most heroic thing, but he just rolled over and went back to sleep. Anyone needing his help would have to wait.

There was a reason no one had seen Lion-o all weekend.

It was because his faithful squire, Snarf, wasn't so loyal and trustworthy after all. Snarf had tied Lion-o up and shoved him into the secret chamber hidden underneath his bed. He claimed he had done it for Lion-o's safety, but Lion-o didn't believe that.

But there was nothing he could do, not while he was tied up and locked in the hidden chamber. His only hope was that someone would come looking for him...

"Hurry up, Snarf! We need to catch the portal," said Lion-o, shoving stuff in a duffel bag. He wasn't taking a lot with him since he was coming back in the fall, but at the last second, he decided he needed a few extra things.

"I still don't know if this is a good idea, Lion-o," said Snarf, taking the extra outfits out of Lion-o's duffel and folding them neatly. "Maybe you should have contacted Lord Claudus and told him that you were taking a portal. And maybe you should leave some clothes behind. You don't need all of this."

"But I want to surprise him! Think of how surprised he'll be, Snarf," said Lion-o. "I can't wait to see him and it's the whole summer. I'm going to need lots of clothes. We'd better hurry if we're going to catch that portal. Come on, Snarf!"

[Establishy but open if you want to catch Lion-o before he leaves for the summer!]

Lion-o and Snarf were still huddled under the bed, where they had been hiding all weekend. "Do you think it's safe to go out there now?" asked Snarf, whose tummy was starting to growl. They'd finished the hidden stash of candy late last night.

"I don't know, Snarf. You heard last night's radio. The people on this island have gone crazy," said Lion-o, trying to stretch out his legs. He was getting a leg cramp again.

"Well, how will we know when it's safe, snarf snarf?" asked Snarf.

"One of us is just going to have to go out there," said Lion-o. He took a deep breath. "And I think that, as future lord of the Thundercats, it's my job to find out what's going on."

"No! You stay here, snarf snarf. I'm supposed to be taking care of you," said Snarf. He scampered out from under the bed, returning a minute later. "I think it's safe! Come on, Lion-o. Let's get some food."

"Oh, thank Jaga," said Lion-o with a sigh of relief. He wasn't going to admit it, but another day hiding under that bed would have driven him mad.

[Establishy, but open if you want to catch Lion-o after he's done hiding.]

Like a good boy, Lion-o had left his shoes out before going to bed the night before so Snarf could polish them.

When he went to grab his shoes the next morning, they were full of candy. "Awesome!" said Lion-o. "Thanks for the candy, Snarf."

Snarf, who was sleeping at the foot of Lion-o's bed, mumbled something and rolled over.
