"Hey Zira, what's that?" Scar pointed out a large, metal cube in the distance.
"Looks like a cage. I remember seeing my Uncle Chacha being tortured in one." Zira cut back to her days in the circus.
"What is wrong with your family history?"
"Just because you're a royal doesn't mean it isn't pleasant. Let's go inspect the cage. It looks like there are animals in it."
Scar and Zira walked closer too the cage. Inside was a young elephant, tiger, bear, panther, snake and orangutan.
"Um...hello?"
"Wow Zira. You should never be the one who talks."
"What was wrong with that?"
"Private information." Scar paused for a second. "Who and what are you creatures?"
"I'm a tiger. These are an elephant, snake, bear, panther and orangutan." The animals looked beatened but the tiger had the most scratches and had a lot of fur missing.
"I'm a lion and dingus over here is a lioness. Lionesses are the feminine name for a female lion."
"If I'm wingus, who are you?" Zira was mad.
"I'm the Mufasa. Strong, intelligent, more handsome and lionesses swoon over me." Scar cut his attention back to the caged up animals."Don't worry, we'll save you."
"By we you mean me, Scar."
"Yep."
Zira rolled her eyes and used a near by stick to open the cage. She was an expert at it because months before she met Scar she had to save her family from cages a lot and she has learnt how to open any cage. As soon as the cage door flung open, the animals walked out and ran happily in circles. They followed Scar and Zira back to a little den in the ground.
"This is where I'm living. Nice isn't it? Right outside there where the little dent in the ground is, that's where my sister Akina died. A saw a lion bite her neck and attack her. Her body was dragged away and no one came back to this spot so I have no family."
"Um...Zira, my Pride attacked your Pride and my Father was Akina's murderer." Scar confessed.
Zira pounced onto Scar and pinned him down. Scar wrestled her around the den and the animals pinned themselves up against the wall to avoid being beaten up. Zira started clawing at Scars face but he wouldn't give in until the point were Zira scratched his scar which made him yell out in pain, Zira saw the blood dripping down his face and stopped. She pushed Scar away from her.
"Lioness are you insane!" Scar grabbed his eye in pain.
"I can't believe you're telling me this now! We've been friends for months!"
"What you wanna fight 'til the death again?"
"No! Just...get out! Go home!"
"Fine!"
Scar stomped out of the room. Zira waited until he was gone, slumped to the floor and had a good cry. The animals were so shocked at what had happened but the tiger still end up to the crying Zira.
"Zira is it? I'm Shere Khan. Are you ok?" He comforted her.
"She's totally fine, Khan. Look at her. She's having the best day ever." The snake said sarcastically. Shere Khan shot him a frown.
"My life is just drama! I can't believe me and Scar just had a fight!"
"How close are you and Scar?" The elephant joined in with the conversation." By the way I'm Hathi, the expert of friendships."
"We are like two mates. Our mating is our growing friendship and then we parent our baby which is our friendship."
"You sound pretty close. Like me and Baloo." The orangutan throws an arm around the bears shoulder.
"Yep. Me and Louis are like that. Besties for life." The bear throws his arm around Louis's shoulder.
"I have no comment. Bagheera is the wisest one here." The snake points to the panther.
"Thanks Kaa. If you really want your baby to not catch a disease, protect it. Don't let your friendship die. Apologies to Scar. Tell him how much you mean to him. He will understand you and you guys can live happily with your baby."
"You really think so?" Zira's ears pricked up.
"Yes. Now go tell Scar how much you mean to him."
"I don't think he wants to talk to me anymore. What if Ahadi saw that his son is bleeding? What if I get exiled?" Zira was very scared of Ahadi.
"You won't. I don't know him but I know that he will understand."
"Ok, I'll go."
Zira climbed out of the den and made her way to Scars home, Priderock.
