DarkEcoOttsel: I'm ba-ack! Yes, I'm back with the sequel to Forgotten Memories!! I'm still getting reviews from you guys telling me to post a sequel and I hate letting people down—especially my fans! So here's the first chapter of Love's a Battlefield! Enjoy!

Chapter One ~~ True Love

The sun rose early. The sun was always shining in the oasis, which wasn't unusual. As soon as the sun was up, it would shed its warm rays to shine through the trees and bushes.

Mira opened one eye and yawned. She rolled over to escape a small sunbeam that was shining in her eyes. She found herself staring at Timon's face. She smiled.

It had been a couple weeks or so since the hyena incident in the Outlands and everyone had pretty much recovered. Mira had gotten her memory back, thanks to Timon. She had also been accepted into his colony. Life couldn't be better.

Mira sat up and stretched. She sighed and smiled as a sunbeam warmed her fur. She turned back to Timon and gently poked his nose.

Timon opened on eye and muttered something along the lines of, "Argh, what time is it?"

Mira giggled and replied, "Time for you to show me the rest of the oasis."

"Do I have to?"

"You are definitely not a morning, are you?" Mira smiled before she began to pout.

"How could you guess?" Timon replied sarcastically.

"You promised," Mira stated.

"I know, I know," Timon sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "Can we get breakfast first?"

"Let's get some on the way," Mira said as she stood up. She pulled Timon up and the two began walking slowly around the oasis.

After a couple minutes of grabbing some grub to eat (literally!), they began walking again, just admiring the scenery.

"This is for real, isn't it," Mira whispered.

"It's not a mirage," Timon smiled.

"Good," Mira smiled too. "So where are we going today?"

"I showed you most of the oasis already," Timon rubbed his chin. "But there is one other place I want to show you. C'mon!" Timon grabbed Mira's hand and they began to run.

Timon took Mira to the huge waterfall in the center of the oasis. They stood on a ledge just before it, each grasping a vine.

"Ready?" Timon asked as he gripped his vine tighter.

"Ready for w—" Mira didn't have a chance to finish as she and Timon leaped off the ledge and swung towards the waterfall. They sailed through the cool water and found themselves in a small corridor. A small stream of water ran through the corridor and entered a larger room at the end.

When they reached the room at the end of the corridor, Mira gasped in awe. Inside the room was a large pool of glistening, pure water. Light filtered in from above through a large hole in the ceiling and bounced off the stalagmites that hung from the ceiling, making the room look heavenly.

"It's so beautiful!" Mira exclaimed.

"I thought you might like it," Timon scratched the back of his head. "No one else knows about this place besides me. And now you."

Mira hugged Timon and grinned. "You're so nice, Timon."

"Yeah, I know," Timon laughed. "I guess we better get back before Ma freaks out. You can come here any time you want."

"Thanks, Timon," Mira said as they walked out.
