As they were walking towards the control a thought struck Lion-O.   "Lynx-O, did you notice anything strange about Chetania?"  He asked.  "Like  what Lion-O?" asked Lynx-O puzzled.  "Well, she looks almost exactly like  Cheetara.  She looks like she could be her little sister." Said Lion-O.  "I  did not notice her physical appearance, Lynx-O said with a grin, but I did  notice that her movements were similar to Cheetara's."  They got to the  control room and their thoughts were put aside.  They entered the control  room to find Panthro twirling his nun-chucks in boredom.  Panthro noticed  Lion-O and Lynx-O and promptly stopped his activity.  "Cheetara is going to  be fine, Lion-O said, but it is to soon to know about Chetania.  So far it  appears that the surgery was a success."  Panthro let out a sigh of relief.   He had been very worried about Cheetara and Chetania.  For some reason he had  felt a strange connection with Chetania.  It was almost like he knew her from  somewhere.

Tygra entered the control room with a smile on his face.  "Chet just woke up  and is feeling fine." He said.  Everyone smiled.  "I just took an x-ray and  it shows that the stitches are holding and her wounds should heal by  morning." Tygra said.  "In that case we should all get to bed." Said Lion-O.   "I must go find Bengali and the kittens so we can get back to the Tower."  Said Lynx-O.  "Rowr, no need to come find us Lynx-O.  We are already to go."  Said Bengali as he and the kittens entered the control room.  "I guess we  will update you in the morning on Cheetara and Chetanias' condition." Said  Lion-O.  "Goodbye."  They ran out to the Thunderstrike and shot off towards  the Tower of Omens.

The scent of Candyfruit pies wafted into the control room.  "Mmm that  smells good." Said Tygra.  The door opened and Snarf came in with a cart that  held many Candy fruit pies.  "Here you go guys.  After a hard day you all  deserve a late night snack, snarf snarf." Said Snarf.  "Thanks Snarf." Said  Panthro as he reached for a slice of pie.  They quickly finished off the pies  and went off to bed.  Only Panthro stayed up because he was on watch.  He  settled into his chair and began to swing his nun-chucks.  He put the  security systems on so he would be warned of intruders.  This way he could  think.  He thought very hard about his life on Thundera.  He remembered that  he had been friends with Cheetara and Tygra since they were very young.  He  remembered how they all had shared the dream of becoming Thundercats.  Then  something popped into his mind.  His parents, Cheetara's parents, and Tygra's  parents had all been Thundercats.  The three friends had been to Cats Lair  many times during their young lives.  Then a forgotten memory slipped into  his mind.  Cheetara's parents had had another baby.  Panthro now remembered  that day like it was yesterday.

The three friends sat outside the Lair's sickbay.  Cheetara was seven  years old, Tygra was eight, and Panthro was nine years old.   Cheetara's  parents, noble Cheetaro and Lady Chena, were going to have a baby.  Also, in  that very same room Lord Claudis and Lady Lydiah were also having a baby.   Panthro's parents, Noble Panthero and Lady Panthena, Tygra's parents, Noble  Tyro and Lady Tiger lily, and Jaga sat in anticipation as they awaited the  births.  All of a sudden there were cries heard from the inside of the  medical room.  The lead Nurse, a white tiger named Bella, emerged from the  room and signaled for the anxious Thundercats to enter.  The kids bolted into  the room.  Inside there were two beds next to each other.  Lady Lydiah lay in  one and Lady Chena lay in the other.  Lord Claudis and Noble Cheetaro sat in  chairs next to them.  They looked even more exhausted than their wives.  The  two women each held a bundle in her arms.  Cheetara ran to her mother and  stood by her side.  Her father smiled at her with his warm blue eyes.  Lady  Chena smiled at her daughter and lifted the piece of cloth that was obscuring  the view of the baby's face.  "Cheetara, meet your new baby sister."  Said  her mother.

Jaga walked over to Lord Claudis and Lady Lydiah.  He smiled at them.   "Well Lady Lydiah, what about your little bundle of joy?" he asked.   "Everyone, meet the future Lord of the Thundercats." She said proudly.  She  also uncovered the baby's face.  The small face of a baby boy lion came into  view.  Unlike Cheetara's baby sister, he was awake.  He had beautiful amber  eyes just like his mother.  He also inherited her red mane.  "What is his  name?" asked Panthro.  Claudis smiled at the young panther.  "His name is  Lion-O." said Lydiah.  "That is a cool name." Said Tygra.  Lydiah smiled at  the young tiger.  "Yes, Tygra.  I also think that it is a very cool name."  She said with smile.  Tygra blushed.

Cheetara was studying her new baby sister.  The baby looked just like her  father.  The baby's skin was a bit more spotted than her own, but besides  that the baby looked just like she did when she was a baby. The baby began to  stir.  "Look, she's waking up!" yelled Cheetara.  Panthro and Tygra ran over  to stand next to the anxious Cheetara.  The baby opened her eyes.  They were  blue!  "By Jaga!  Her eyes are blue just like your eyes Dad!" said Cheetara.   "So they are Cheetara, so they are." Said Cheetaro.  "Congratulations Chena  and congratulations to you to Lydiah." Said Panthena and Tiger lily.  "What  time exactly were they born?" asked Tyro.  Bella went over to the babies'  charts and read the time.  "They were both born at exactly one o' clock p.m."  she said.  "Wow, they were both born at the exact same time, said Tygra, that  is even cooler."  This caused all the adults to laugh.  "Mom, what is her  name?" asked Cheetara.  "Oh, I'm sorry sweetie, I didn't tell you yet.  Her  name is Chetania." Said Chena.

At the same time Panthro, Tygra, and Cheetara sat bolt upright.  They had  had the same flashback.  Pumyra was startled by Cheetara's awakening.   "Cheetara, she asked, what's the matter?"  The sound of footfalls reached  their ears and Panthro burst in.  Tygra also entered, in his night robe.   "What is going on?" asked a very confused Pumyra.  "I had a dream about.."  said Cheetara, Panthro, and Tygra at the same time.  They looked at each  other and quickly understood that they had had the same dream.  "Will someone  please fill me in on this!" said Pumyra.  Moans were heard and everyone  turned to see Chetania stirring.  "What's all the noise?" she asked sleepily.   "I don't know how to say this, said Cheetara, but here it goes.  Chetania,  you're my sister."  This caught Pumyra and Chetania by surprise.  "What?"  they asked at the same time.  "It is true, said Tygra, we all just had the  same dream."  He gestured towards Cheetara and Panthro.  "We remembered the  day you and Lion-O were born."

Chetania and Pumyra were dumbstruck.  They looked at each other and  mentally agreed that Panthro, Cheetara, and Tygra had gone nuts.  Cheetara  easily read Chetania's mind.  "We are not out of our minds." She said.  "I  know, said Tygra, I will do a blood test.  Siblings' blood is always almost  exactly the same."  Chetania thought this over and decided that there might  be a chance that she and Cheetara were related.  She did look a lot like her  mother.  Her mother.  "No need for a blood test Tygra." She said.  "Why not?"  asked Tygra.  "Because of this." She said as she pulled out her mother's  locket.  "Mom's locket." breathed Cheetara.  "My mother said that this locket  contains the pictures of two very special people in her life.  She said that  I was one of them.  So if you are my sister then your picture should be in  here.  If not, then it will probably be a picture of my dad." Said Chetania.   She carefully opened the locket.  She looked at the two pictures inside.  One  was of her and the other was of ...
