The sun slowly rose and drove away the darkness of night.  Lion-O, who was on watch duty watched the first rays of sun awaken Third Earth.  He always loved watching the sunrise.  He looked over at the clock and saw it was 6:30am.  'Tygra should be here soon to take over watch duty.' Lion-O thought to himself.  Sure enough, five minutes later, Tygra walked in.  "Good morning Lion-O." he said.  "Good morning to you too Tygra." Lion-O answered. " Since you're here I will go help Snarf make breakfast." Lion-O said.  "Good idea, he can be a little haphazard early in the morning." Tygra chuckled. Lion-O gave a small laugh and headed off towards the kitchen.  As he neared the kitchen he heard the banging of pots and pans and the occasional yelp of 'Snarf!!"  Lion-O chuckled to himself and hurried down the hall to help Snarf before he hurt himself.

    As Lion-O entered the kitchen he saw Snarf was in complete disarray. Pots, pans, plates, silverware, and glasses were all over the place.  "Snarf, where are you?" asked Lion-O.  "Lion-O, snarf, help meeee!!  I am stuck under the caaaarrrrttt!!" Snarf whined in a slightly muffled tone.  "Don't worry Snarf, I'll get you out of there." Lion-O said as he made his way through the clutter.  He found Snarf and lifted the fallen breakfast cart off of him. "Reowr, thanks Lion-O." Said Snarf.  "Come on, let's clean up this mess. What happened?" Lion-O asked.  "I put all the plates, silverware, and glasses on one cart and I took down some pans when they all fell down on me.  I knocked into the cart and it toppled over.  I tried to get out of the way, but it fell on me, snarf snarf." Snarf answered.  Lion-O shook his head and began picking up the fallen dishware.  It took the both of them about fifteen minutes to clean up the mess.  After that they began to make breakfast.

    Panthro lay in bed dreaming about his life on Thundera when he was awoken by the smell of cooking food.  He got out of bed, got into his uniform, and headed down to the council room for breakfast.  He met up with Tygra on the way and they engaged in conversation.  "I hope Cheetara and Chetania are feeling better." Panthro said.  "They should be after a good nights rest." Tygra said.  They entered the council room and found Lion-O already sitting down.  "Weren't helping Snarf?" asked Tygra.  "I was until" Lion-O held up a bandaged and blushed sheepishly.  "I guess I'm a better warrior than I am a cook." He said as Panthro and Tygra roared with laughter.  Snarf came in pushing a cart.  Panthro and Tygra took their seats still sniggering while Snarf served them breakfast.  Lion-O had trouble eating with bandaged hands and continuously drooped his fork.  In the end, against much protest on Lion-O's part, Snarf spoon-fed him.  The look on Lion-O's face was so upset and embarrassed that Panthro and Tygra snorted into their bacon.

    Meanwhile, in the infirmary, Pumyra was feeding the girls their breakfast.  Chetania noticed then how hungry she was. She wolfed down the food as if she had never eaten before.  As she was taking a breath she noticed Cheetara and Pumyra staring at her, dumbstruck.  "Um, I'm sorry," Chet said awkwardly, "I haven't eaten properly in years and this is just so good I.." but Pumyra cut her off.  "That's alright", she said with a smile," I'm glad you like my food."  Chetania smiled and continued eating at a slower rate.  When they had finished, Pumyra gave them another check up. "Everything seems to be healing just fine." She said with a smile. "Cheetara. Why don't you stand up and walk around a bit." She said.  Cheetara slid off her bed and began walking around the room.  "Wow, this feels great" Cheetara said.  "Good, those stitches should hold.  You just cannot run for a day or two." Pumyra said as she jotted Cheetara's condition down on her chart.  Cheetara hopped back on the bed.  "Okay Chet, you're turn." Pumyra said.  Chetania gingerly got off the bed and took a couple of steps.  "This feels so much better" she exclaimed.  She took bigger steps and she felt fine.  "Good, though, let's not over do it, okay." Pumyra said as she also took notes on Chet's condition.  Chetania went back to the bed and sat down.

    "I am going to go talk to Tygra and see if your room is ready Chet." Pumyra said.  She got up and left the room to go find Tygra.  Cheetara looked over at Chetania and smiled.  "Well sis, are you going to try out to become a Thundercat?" asked Cheetara.  This question caught Chet totally by surprise. " I haven't even thought about it yet, but I might like to become one, I guess." Chet said as she thought to herself.  "I think you really proved yourself back at the fight.  I wouldn't be surprised if Lion-o anointed you the moment you get better." Cheetara said with a smile.  Chetania remembered the battle and realized that she had demonstrated true courage in the face of danger.  Pumyra reentered with Tygra accompanying her.  Tygra looked as if he had been laughing very hard at something and Pumyra was also looked very amused.  "What's so funny?" asked Cheetara.  Tygra burst out laughing and Pumyra told the story.  "I guess Lion-o burnt his hands and could not hold his fork so Snarf ended up spoon-feeding him." She said trying to keep from laughing.  "The look on his face." Tygra said as he tried to catch his breath.  Cheetara and Chetania started laughing.

    Tygra regained his composure and stood up.  "Well, Pumyra told me that both of you are doing fine.  Chet, your room is all set.  It is right next to Cheetara's." he said.  "Great." Said Cheetara.  "So if your all set with your breakfast we can move you up to your room." He finished.  "Yeah, I am all set." Chet said.  She was very excited.  "Alright then.  Lets get you two moving." Pumyra said.  Pumyra went over to Cheetara and helped her up. Cheetara got up and leaned on Pumyra for support.  Tygra went over to Chet and lifted her in his arms.  "I can walk." She protested.  Tygra turned to Pumyra and she nodded,  "Alright," he said as he set Chet down, "Just take it easy."  She leaned on Tygra and they set off.  They made it to Cheetara and Chetania's rooms without any dilemmas.  Cheetara was walking on her own, but Chet still needed a bit of support.  Cheetara entered her room and Pumyra took Chet into her own room.

    Chet gasped as she took in the beauty of her quarters.  The walls were a bright blue, the curtains were white, the bed sat against the far wall and the blankets were blue and white.  There was a closet next to her bed, a vanity on the near wall, and a chair next to the window.  There was also a door next to her vanity that led to her private bathroom.  "It's beautiful." She breathed.  "That's not all." Said Pumyra.  She went over to the closet and threw the doors open.  Chet gasped in surprise.  There was a whole bunch of new uniforms.  They looked like Pumyra's except there were no cuts on the side.  The uniform was blue, had one strap, and it was the same length as Pumyra's.  There were also a couple pairs of boots that Cheetara had grown out of.  They fit Chetania perfectly.  "Do you like the uniforms?" asked Pumyra.  "I made them myself." She added.  Chet turned to face her and exclaimed, " I love them!!"  Pumyra smiled at the compliment.

    There was a knock on the door.  "Come in." called Pumyra.  Cheetara walked in and smiled.  "Well, how do you like your room?" she asked.  "Oh Cheetara, I love it." Chet said.  "Good, well Lion-O is holding a council meeting and he wants everyone to attend.  You too Chet." She said.  "Okay. Let me get changed."  Chet said.  Pumyra and Cheetara went outside to wait in the hall.  A couple minutes later Chet emerged wearing her new uniform.  "It fits perfectly." She said.  She had tied her lariat around her waist and put her pouch on her hip.  "Great.  Let's get moving." Pumyra said.  The women headed down the hall towards the council room.  As they entered they noticed Lion-O was very red in the face.  Panthro and Tygra were smiling broadly. The girls remembered what Tygra had said earlier and smiled also.  Snarf got off his seat on the windowsill and went over to Chet.  "Hello Chetania, I am Snarf." He said.  "Nice to meet you Snarf." She said.  "You can take the seat next to Cheetara, Chet." Panthro said.  "Ok." She said and took her place. Cheetara and Pumyra took their places and everyone looked to Lion-O.

    "I called this meeting for three reasons," he started, "first, I wish to welcome Chetania to the Lair after her escape from the mutants." Everyone clapped and Chet blushed in embarrassment.  She wasn't used to all this attention.  After the clapping died down Lion-O continued talking. "Secondly, Lynx-O has informed me that he is picking up strange signals from space.  After investigating, we discovered that Thundera is reforming." "What?" everyone exclaimed.  "Yes, we have been monitoring it and the fragments are rearranging.  It appears that Thundera will reform within a couple of days." Lion-O finished.  "That's impossible," Tygra protested, "It takes millions of years for a planet to reform."  "Yes, but we thought that Thundera exploding was impossible," Cheetara said,  "but it did.  I get the feeling some powerful force is causing the planet to form."

    Lion-O knew that they would argue over this so he decided to finish the meeting before things became to rough.  He cleared his throat and regained everyone's attention.  "The third and final reason I called this meeting is the most important reason." He said as he smiled.  " Yesterday there was a battle between us and the mutants.  With the new and more powerful mutants to help Panthro, Cheetara, Chetania, and myself were overcome.  I had signaled for help, but something more urgent came up.  Cheetara was struck down. Panthro and I could not get to her.  Slythe was about to finish her off when her life was saved by Chetania, who showed great courage.  Chet continued to protect Cheetara despite her own injuries.  Her ordeal shows that she defends the Code of Thundera." Chet blushed again as Lion-O praised her efforts. "Chet will you please stand up?" Lion-O asked.  Chet got to her feet.  "As Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats, I anoint you, Thundercat Chetania."  There was a flash of light and the Sword of Omens placed the Thundercat signal on the chest of Chet's uniform.

    Chet gasped as the light faded away.  She was at a loss for words.  She looked around at the others.  They were all smiling at her.  Lion-o spoke again.  "Chetania do you promise to uphold the Code of Thundera, Truth, Honor, Justice, and Loyalty?"  "I will." She said proudly.  Cheetara smiled up at her.  "Thundercats Hoooooo" they all shouted.  Chetania now felt that she belonged.  She knew that new dangers and enemies awaited her, but she felt happy that she did not have to face those dangers alone.
