chapter 1

Lion-o Roarson was the son of a well known CEO Claudus Roarson his company makes all kinds of tech from phones, scooters, ATVS, televisions, computers and even video game systems. It was pretty impressive. His mother Leona worked at a local hospital as a nurse in the emergency room. Lion-o was going to college to learn more about business to work at his father's company and learn how to run it. His father said this company was in the family since his great-great-great grandfather Leo Roarson.

Leo Roarson was originally part of the military. Then after he came home he started to make his company and that is what created the family fortune. Leo had a best friend Tygus Striper who created a store chain that sold Leo's companies devices. Then they learned to depend on each other in business after that.

Claudus was so proud of his son. He liked how creative and smart his boy was.

Lion-o started to look at colleges with a good business program. He found Thundera University. It was a good school. It was about an hour from the house and 20 minutes from the hospital where his mother works. He was packing everything so he could go to the college after he had been accepted.

"Good luck son," Claudus said.

"Take care of yourself," Leona said.

"I will, and I'll call when I get there," Lion-o said. Then he drove off. Lion-o made it to the college. "Okay Thundera University now time to go to my dorm." he said. He went to registration.

"Okay Lion-o here is your room key and your roommate is all settled in." the worker said.

Lion-o carried his stuff to the room. "Wow my dorm," Lion-o said. He opened the door.

"Hi I am Bengali Whiteler, your roommate," Bengali said.

"Nice to meet you I am Lion-o Roarson." Lion-o said.

"What are you majoring in?" Bengali asked.

"Business what about you?" Lion-o asked.

"I am majoring in engineering." Bengali said.

"Cool," Lion-o said.

Lion-o got settled in. "Okay classes start tomorrow and I will be ready." Lion-o said.

The next morning Lion-o and Bengali woke up early. "What class do you have first?' Bengali asked.

"Looks like I have Physics first," Lion-o said.

"Cool me too," Bengali said. "What other classes do you have?" he asked.

"I have family studies/ child development for my fourth class of the day," Lion-o said.

"Why if you are business major?" Bengali asked.

"Well my father said when I chose it as an elective it might be a good idea to learn something from their to be prepared for anything and become well rounded." Lion-o said.

"Okay," Bengali said.

"I also have P.E. in second period." Lion-o said.

"As do I prepare to sweat," Bengali said.

"I have history for 3rd period," Lion-o said.

"I have computer science for my third," Bengali said.

"Well that is all the classes I have for the day," Lion-o said.

"My last class of the day is algebra." Bengali said.

"Okay at least we have two classes together," Lion-o said.

"Yes," Bengali said.

They headed to their first class. "Welcome to Physics I am Professor Harto," Harto said. "We will learn several things here in physics. As well as important project at the end of the seven months you are in this class." he said.

Lion-o raised his hand.

"Yes," Harto said.

"What is the special project?" Lion-o asked.

"This project you will be working on for most of your time in this class you can do what you want. Make something to do physics, or has physics in, or right paper on something that involves physics, make power point or video," Harto said. "Those are your choices it is due in seven months and I hope all of you use that time wisely." he said.

Lion-o was wondering what his project to could be, he was thinking about making some sort of machine that involves physics. But he didn't know what he always had a talent for machinery.

"Okay class, it's almost time for you to go to your next class, remember you have seven months to make your final project. It will count majorly towards your final grade," Harto said.

Bengali raised his hand.

"Yes?" Harto asked.

"Can we work in partners or in groups?" Bengali asked.

"Yes you can many students in this class do but remember you and your partner or group must work together." Harto said. "That goes for everyone who wants to work on the project with someone else in the class." he said.

Lion-o and Bengali were heading to their next class. "You know the best thing I like about this is school," Lion-o said.

"What's that?" Bengali asked.

"It allows pets," Lion-o said.

"Yes that is a good thing but you know the college rules about keeping pets here," Bengali said.

"Yes you must take care of it and it must go with you during vacation periods." Lion-o said. "I'm not sure what pet I want, but I want one I can relax with in my lap is what I prefer." he said.

"Yes that would be nice." Bengali said.

"Come on let's get to P.E." Lion-o said.

"Yes let's go," Bengali said.

They made it to P.E. class. "Welcome to P.E. class I am Professor Vit," Vit said. "We will be going over much in this class. You will work out on the exercise machines, lift weights, stretch and run laps on the track. Just make sure you don't over do it so I expect you all to have a certain goal for yourself in this class. Some of you might want to loose weight, others might want better endurance, while some want to become stronger and faster. So choose a goal and work towards it." she said.

Lion-o wanted to get stronger and faster. While Bengali wanted to have more endurance. Lion-o started his work out.

Then he was heading for history class after he showered in the showers in P.E. class.

He got into the classroom and sat down. He heard many of the students talk. He was wondering what was going on. "What is with you guys?" Lion-o asked.

"Don't you know the teacher is tough and has his expectations." one student said.

"Most college professors do," Lion-o said. "Many teachers are tough just live with it," he said.

The professor came in. It was a large black panther. He looked familiar. "I am professor Panthro Blackson, I know you all have heard several rumors about me and they are not true, I am not an x-gang member and I am not a rogue cop, how I got this scar is I was about your age and got into a car accident and got cut. The other scars are from me originally working in a metal shop. So relax," he said. He saw Lion-o.

"Well I'll be Lion-o Roarson," Professor Blackson said.

"You know him sir?" a student asked.

"I sure do, I am an old friend of his father's I was hospital the day Lion-o was born. I came over on many occasions." Blackson said. Then continued with the class. Lion-o came up to him.

"Is something wrong Lion-o?" Panthro asked.

"Well I am glad to see you, I didn't know that you taught here," Lion-o said.

"Well I do, well just remember if you have some issues and you can't get a hold of your parents talk to me I'll help you straighten it out," Panthro said.

"Thanks," Lion-o said. "Well I better get going I have Family studies/Child development next." he said.

"I remember when I took that course, do your best," Panthro said.

Lion-o made it to his next class and sat down. Then a young lady came in. She was a white lion she was very pretty and sat down next to Lion-o. "Hi I'm Lion-o Roarson," Lion-o said.

"I'm Liosia Clawer," Liosia said.

"Class I am professor Bornia, in this class you will learn much, you will learn what life is like when you move out and live on your own and find the right one and what will happen. Chose a partner and you will stay with him or her during the next seven months of the class. You will learn what is like to be a couple and what life may have in store for you," Bornia said.

"Liosia will you be my partner?" Lion-o asked.

"Sure," Liosia said.

Everyone found a partner and everything was ready. Lion-o's college career had begun.

It was the first weekend off of school and Lion-o was outside taking a walk when he heard a cry. Lion-o looked and found a kitten like creature. It was small and frightened. He picked it up and took it to the vet. "Is it going to be alright?" Lion-o asked.

"Yes it's going to be fine," the doctor said. "It's not hurt or sick. It's just stressed. He'll find a new home." he said.

Lion-o started thinking and decided to adopt the kitten like creature. He bought the supplies he needed and set them up in his room. Then he went to the vet's office. He adopted him and called him Snarf. He had Snarf micro-chipped.

Snarf got cozy in the dorm room. Lion-o and Bengali hand an idea to make a pet toy that was mechanical and could all Snarf to play by himself without being destructive.

They started to work on it. Lion-o and Liosia also had their own work from Family studies/child development class to do.

This was only the beginning for Lion-o.
