Clover woke up a while after her head still on Rex's paws, she saw that Rex was still asleep so Clover carefully got up and walked to the entrance of the cave, she sat down and looked out as the sun appeared over the horizon illuminating the lands that lay below. Clover sighed softly and smiled usually by now she would be exhausted from not sleeping because she would have been searching for food and water all night but now she had company and someone to help her find food and water and now she had shelter so she could forget all of her worries just for a little while.
Rex awoke not long after Clover, he did not feel anything beside him and sat up quickly and looked around, he quickly spotted her quickly and smiled relieved, he walked over to her and sat beside her and gave her a gentle nuzzle which made Clover smile.
"Morning" said Rex with a big smile, Clover smiled back and layed down on the cool ground of the cave and sighed happily.
"Morning Rex" said Clover with a soft smile as she rolled onto her side exposing her belly, Rex looked at her and gulped then looked away trying to hide his embaressment.
"Are you hungry?" asked Rex as he looked at her with a now normal expression which made Clover giggle quietly.
"yes I am a bit, do you want to go hunting?" asked Clover as she rolled back onto her front and looked at him, Rex nodded and stood up and walked out of the cave, his paws not making a single sound as he walked his blue mane swaying softly as he walked. Clover watched him as she followed him out of the cave. Rex led her farther than she had ever been before, she had no idea where she was but she did not ask she just allowed Rex to lead her. Rex led the way into pridelands and Clover knew straight away where she was.
"Rex we can't be here" said Clover backing into the shade of the trees hiding her form from any pridelanders that may cross them at that moment.
"Clover it is fine the pridelanders are not hunting yet I always do this and I have never been caught in my life" said Rex sincerely, he looked into her eyes and she knew straight away that he would not lead her into unecessary danger. Clover walked out into the open and saw a Antelope and instantly charged at the Antelope but before she could sink her teeth and claws into the Antelope she heard a rawr and was knocked to the ground, when she looked up there was a lioness standing over her with her teeth beared.
"Who are you?" Snarled the lioness, Clover looked up at her fear clearly shown in her bluey green eyes.
"I'm Clover, who are you?" said Clover while looking up at the lioness that had pinned her to the hot earth, Rex growled at the lioness that had Clover pinned to the floor, the lioness climbed off of Clover and Rex instantly moved to her side and nuzzled her.
"I am Kima, I am princess of the pride lands my parents are Kovu and Kiara" said the lioness that had calmed down at was now looking at Clover and Rex fully.
"Who is he?" asked Kima as she looked at Rex with a raised eyebrow at his possesiveness of Clover.
"My name is Rex and Clover is my friend" said Rex in a gruff voice, Kima looked at them both then told them to follow her and she would take them to Pride Rock and to her parents. Clover and Rex followed Kima silently as she led them to pride rock. Kima told them to stay at the bottem of pride rock while she went to get the pride.
Kima walked into the cave and called for her father, mother and brother, they each walked down to where Clover and Rex waited. Kovu looked at the lions in front of him, Kiara instantly warmed to Clover and Rex because that was just how she was and luckily their son Kiva had his mother's personality but Kima had their fathers which made both Kovu and Kima a bit hostile towards Clover and Rex.
