Chapter 2: Love Bug
Tora and Simba continued to kiss each other. Nala had had enough.
"Okay, you two, stop it." Nala said as she tried to pull Tora away from Simba.
Tora turned around and glared at her. "Back... Off..." Tora told her, while unsheathing her claws.
Nala just backed away from her, she knew Tora was stronger than her. Nala couldn't figure out what was happening. A few minutes ago she was fine, now, she's suddenly in love with Simba?. Nala thought. Something's wrong, and I'm gonna figure it out.
Nala turned to Kora. "Come on, we have to find out what's happening to them." she told him. "Let's go find Kotta, maybe he knows how Uzuri got that way."
"Okay." Kora answered.
They were about to go when Kula came up to them. "Hi, Nala!" she said. She walked over to Kora and kissed him. "Hello, Kora-kins!"
"I told you not to call me that in front of our friends..." Kora told her quietly.
Kula saw Simba and Tora, and Uzuri with Mheetu. "Did I miss something?" Kula asked.
"Yeah, they suddenly fell in love." Kora replied. "We're trying to figure out why."
"I'll come with you!" Kula exclaimed.
"Well, let's get going." Nala said. She and her two friends walked around the water hole
Kotta could see Uzuri and Mheetu on the other side of the water hole. It hurt him that she was in love with Mheetu. Kotta was the one that loved Uzuri, even though she found him to be repulsive in every way, which he didn't understand.
"What happened to her?" Kotta asked himself. "She's never shown love for anybody."
Kotta looked over and saw Nala, Kora, and Kula approaching him.
"Hey, Kotta." Nala said to him. "We need to ask you something."
"Is it about them?" he asked, pointing across the water hole.
"Yes." Nala answered. "What happened with Uzuri? Why did she start acting like that?"
Kotta shrugged. "I'm not sure." he told her. He then thought for a moment. "Wait... Right before she fell in love with Mheetu, she had gotten bitten by a bug or something."
"She got bit?" Nala asked before realizing something. "Hey! Right before Tora fell in love with Simba, she got bit too!"
"OW! Something bit my ear!" they all heard Kula exclaim. She happened to look up at Kotta, she was looking at him as if she were in love.
"Uh, oh..." Kora said. "Kotta, if she kisses you, you'll fall in love! That's what happened to the others!"
Kula jumped at Kotta but he moved out of the way. Kula tried to get him again, but Kora got in front of her. Kula tackled him and kissed him, thinking it was Kotta. She looked down at Kora. "What happened?"
"You fell in love with Kotta." Kora answered. "It seems that when you kissed me, you snapped out of it."
"Hm... Interesting..." Nala said. "But we still need to know exactly what's going on. Let's go see Zazu."
"Why Zazu?" Kora asked.
"He's smart. Maybe he knows why this is happening." she told him. She looked at Kotta. "You come too."
The four cubs all went to find Zazu.
The cubs went up to Pride rock to see if Zazu was there.
"I don't see him." Nala said. "Let's ask Simba's dad if he knows where Zazu is."
They walked up Pride Rock and saw Mufasa up there. "Um... Excuse me..." Nala said to him.
"Yes, Nala? Do you need something?" the king asked her.
"We were just wondering if you knew where Zazu was, we need to ask him something." Nala said.
"He's probably at his favorite tree, behind Pride Rock." Mufasa answered.
"Thank you!" Nala said as the cubs left the den.
When they got behind Pride Rock, they saw a medium sized tree. Zazu was perched on one of the branches.
"Zazu! Can you come here for a minute!" Nala yelled to him.
Zazu flew down to the cubs. "Yes, children?" Zazu said. "What is it?"
"Look, our friends have been getting bit by some sort of bug." Kora told the hornbill.
"Yes, your point?" Zazu asked, not seeing how it was relevant.
"Well, whenever it happens, they fall in love with the first one they see," Kora continued, "and when they kiss them that person falls in love with them too."
Zazu started laughing. "Hehehehe..."
"What's so funny?" Nala asked.
"Children, your friends have been bitten by a rare insect called the Love Bug." Zazu told them.
"You mean there's actually something called a Love Bug?" Kora asked.
Zazu looked at him. "Yes, and there is only one way to get your friends back to normal..."
A/N: Hm... The Love Bug is real... who knew. Kula managed to snap out of it, that was a hint... Want to know what happens next? Check back tomarrow for the next update! Friends may start to get mad at each other... Remember to Review! Thank You!
