Chapter 3: New Friends, New Rivals
Alice and Victoria got to a watering hole with crystal clear water. They bend down and lapped up the cool liquid. As they were drinking they didn't hear the laughter coming their way till the last moment. Alice looked up and turned and saw two cubs run into her and they fell in to the water. Alice resurfaces and spit water out.
"Oh dear, are you okay?"
Alice looked up and saw a tawny teen lioness. The teen lioness had a lighter tawny muzzle, throat, belly, inner thighs, eyeshades and paws. Her eyes were reddish-brown and her tail tuff was dark brown, almost black.
"Yeah, I am fine" said Alice getting out of the water and shaking her fur dry
Victoria walked over to her daughter and asked "You sure you okay?"
Alice sat and nodded. The teen lioness walked over and said "I'm very sorry; my friend was watching the cubs and they ran off when she turned her back"
Then two wet cubs walked up with a red teen lioness. The red lioness was dark red with a lighter red muzzle, throat, belly, paws, inner thighs and eyeshades. Her eyes were a golden hazel and her tail tuff is a darker red.
"It's okay, really" Alice said with a small smile
The tawny teen lioness smiled and said "I haven't seen you two before"
Victoria smiled and said "King Minus, let us join today…well yesterday"
The tawny teen lioness smiled and said "It's nice to have more lionesses, I'm Mya and this is my friend Rose"
Alice nodded and said "I'm Alice and this is my mother, Victoria"
"Oh, and these little rascals are Jack and Jake, they're twins"
Alice nodded and smiled. Jack is golden brown with creamy muzzle, belly, chest, paws and chestnut under eyeshades. His eyes are a reddish color with a mild brown tuff on his head and same as his tail tuff. Jake is the same, but his tuff on his head is an auburn color and his eyes are orange.
Alice smiled and said "They're so cute"
Jake and Jack smiled while Rose laughed and said "They're evil little things"
Mya glared at her friend and Alice's smile dropped.
"They're not evil, they're just cubs" Alice said ruffling up Jake's tuff and making him giggle
"Yes Rose, remember when you were a cub" said Babar walking over
Rose smiled and nuzzled Babar, but he pulled away with a glare. Then he looked up at Alice and said "My father wants me to show you around the kingdom"
Rose growled as she saw the loving look Babar was giving this new lioness. She growled louder and stormed off. Mya sighed and shook her head.
Babar shook his head and looked back at Alice with a smile on his face.
"So what do you say?" Babar asked
Alice nodded and got up and walked away with Babar by her side.
