/Ono's P.O.V/
"Good morning, mom. Tasha." I said, waking up. Tasha seemed so full of energy. I was glad she was feeling well today.
"Good morning Ono." My mom greeted me.
"Good morning, sister!" Tasha greeted, happily.
"So, what are your plans for later?" Mom asked me, with a teasing voice. She knows that I'm going to the star festival with Kion, Bunga, Lana, Beshte and Fuli tonight.
"Mom! Can I go to the festival tonight with Ono?" Tasha asked mom, who looked in thought.
"Mmmmm….. Sure! As long as you eat your breakfast and your illness doesn't get worse in the evening." Mom told her and she smiled.
"Yay! That's great, right Ono?" Tasha asked me and I nodded.
"Let's eat then!" Mom said, as we went to get our food.
LATER
Tasha had gotten worse over the day. She had to be put in the bed.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I wanna go to the festival tonight with Ono!"
"Sis, your conditions is worse than it was this morning. Please, just get some rest for me." I told her and she sighed, but obliged.
"Ono, go and enjoy the festival! Just don't stay out to late!" Mom told me and I shook my head in understanding. I do wish that Tasha could go with me. I met up with my friends at the watering hole, where we said that we would meet.
"Hey Ono! What's up?" Bunga asked me, sensing my slight sadness.
"Tasha's sick. She can't come." I told him, flying ahead of him to watch the festival.
"Hey come on! Tonight's the star festival!" Fuli added.
"Yeah! Time to loosen up and party!" Lana stated and I sighed. I looked up after a while and saw falling stars.
"Wow!" Beshte said, admiring the sky.
"Falling stars are the signs of troubling times ahead. I just hope the stars are wrong this time." I heard Rafiki say. I hope so too.
MEANWHILE
/Tasha's P.O.V/
I had woken up from my rest and saw my mom was in a deep sleep. Now's my chance. I sneaked past her, went out of the nest and out to the star festival! Nobody cans top me now. I feel fine, nothing is going to happen to me.
/Ono's P.O.V/
"Hey! Ono! Do you wanna enter in the 'African Shells' finding contest? My dad's hosting it and he thought that you'd be good for it!" Beshte told me and I agreed.
"Hey guys, glad that you can make it. Here are the rules; I've hidden three African Shells in the savannah. If you find them, you get a special surprise. Are you all ready? Ok…. Ono, isn't that your sister?" Basi asked me and I turned around and saw Tasha. She walked up to me.
"Hey, I followed you. I'm sorry." She told me and I shook my head.
"You know that you're not supposed to be out here. Please, go back home." I told her and she sighed.
"But ono! I feel fine! I ate my breakfast too didn't I?" She asked me and I sighed. This is a problem. "Hey, what if I just watch you do the African Shells hunt and then go home. I won't get in the way. C'mon, please?" She asked me and I very reluctantly allowed it.
"Thanks!' She told me and flew onto a low tree branch.
"Alright, are we ready? Go!" Basi instructed and Beshte, Tiifu, Vetti, Kion, Bunga and Fuli all separated to find the shells.
/*/
I had already found two shells. One near the lion guard den and another near the watering hole. I then noticed a shiny object in the grass. I picked it up…. It was the last shell! I flew over to Basi and he congratulated me. His wife, Bali gave me some flowers.
"Hey, isn't that Bure's kid? She takes after her Father." A giraffe had commented.
"So, what are you gonna do with the flowers, Ono?" Bunga asked me, but Fuli interrupted him.
"Silly! She's obviously gonna give them to her sick little sister!" She told him and Tasha looked excited.
"Huh? Really?! Flowers?! Yippee!" Tasha exclaimed, happily.
"Natasha! Don't get too excited!" I warned her, but it was too late…. She passed out. I ran over to her, quickly.
"Shiver me timbers! Somebody call a doctor!" Angelo, said, picking her up and taking her to my house.

"How's it looking Rafiki? She's been so sick for so long… How much longer until she gets better?" Mom asked and Rafiki faced her.
"I hate to be frank with you….. She's not going to get any better than she is now." Rafiki told her and my life around me just stopped.
"No! That can't be true!" Mom yelled and Rafiki sighed.
"I'm doing everything that I can for her, but… I'm sorry." He told us…. I sighed and approached my little sister. My light of my life cannot go out… She just can't! I feel so alone…
That's chapter one! I hope that you like it! :-)
