'Worth The Wait'

I rarely, if ever, see these two depicted as a pairing. Lion-O is always hooked up with one of older ladies in the series (anywhere from Cheetara to Luna; Hell, he's even been paired with other males, in some cases) - but never Wilykit.

And I have to wonder - why not?

Before Jaga tampered with the suspension capsule, Lion-O was roughly the same age as the Thunderkittens (Wilykit and Wilykat); and even though he physically aged to adulthood, the one thing many folks seem to forget is that mentally, Lion-O was still an adolescent.

I like the idea of Kit maybe having had a crush on young Lion-O, even after he was robbed of his youth, and persuing him when she grew into maturity and stood a chance at becoming a suitable consort for the Thunderian Lord.

So, yeah - sue me; I like this pairing and think it makes far more sense than most fanhopes/faves out there.
