"Zuri! Kopa! Azizi! Dafina!" Kiara called out to her cubs."Where are you all going?"

"Nowhere Mum." Dafina forced a smile.

"Just to the waterhole." Said Kopa.

"Why?" Kiara questioned.

"Because we want to go play by the water and go for a drink." Azizi grinned.

"No. It's too dangerous to go without supervision."

"But Muuuuuuum!" All four cubs whined.

"No buts." Kiara kept a straight face.

"Kiara! What's going on out here?" Kovu came to stand next to Kiara.

"The cubs were just heading inside."

"Mum won't let us go to the waterhole." Zuri sulked.

"Kiara. We've talked about this. We should allow the cubs to go out and explore." Kovu looked deeply into Kiara's eyes.

"No. After I went out to explore for the first time, my Dad got mad at me because I met you. Remember Zira's threat?"

"My Mum was very keen on making sure that I would follow in the footsteps of the lion who wasn't even my Father."

"She still threatened my Fathers Pride!"

"Kiara, from the first time you went out alone, you've built up to the presence. The days you adore and keep within your heart. Don't you want that for our cubs?"

Kiara turned to her cubs."If something bad happens, come straight home."

"We will Mum. Bye." The cubs ran off into the savannah. They soon stopped at the waterhole. Hours went by of endless fun.

"Kopa, I challenge you to a fight." Azizi approached him.

"Challenge accepted." Kopa stood up and both cubs got into position. Dafina stood inbetween them.

"No rules for this fight so 3, 2, 1." And the boys fought. Kopa defeated Azizi.

"This is the best day ever!" Kopa screamed.

"It's nice to be here. The only royal quadruplets in history having fun by the waterhole in the bright sun. What more could you ask for?" Azizi lay on his back.

"Did you guys here that?" Dafina sat up straight.

"What? What was it?" Zuri asked.

"I don't know. I feel like something is watching us."

"It's probably just the monkeys. You know what they're like." Azizi stayed on the floor.

"Can we just go check?"

"Why?" Kopa groaned.

"What if it's a trapped baby Antelope. If Mum and Dad find out that a baby Antelope died in the area we were in, we'll be in trouble."

"Good point." Zuri stood up.

"I guess you're right once again sis." Kopa came to stand next to her.

"Fine." Azizi joined the three of them. Together they walked towards where Dafina had heard the sound, the entrance of the jungle. The bushes were rustling and faint whispers could be heard.

"When I say now, we pounce." Kopa whispered. His siblings nodded.

They got closer and closer to the bush.

"Now!" Kopa shouted and all four jumped behind the bush to reveal a terrifying surprise.
