A/N I wasn't planning on making a sequel, but one just came to mind. So I decided to make one. Instead of being about Scar's pride, this one is about Little Rose's.

I don't own Scar or Nuka, or any other Lion King characters; they all belong to Disney. I do own the rest of the lions though. Also, I'm busy with other stories, so this may not be updated much.

kate: Thank you :)

Reldor: I like making unexpected things happen XD He wasn't really that crazy; he just liked Little Rose a lot, and didn't want her to be with anyone else. He was sane enough to realize how he was making history repeat itself, and was able to get away before he got too much like Devil.

I can safely say she won't; she'll take more after her mother than anything.

When we got back to camp, everyone wanted to see the new baby. Matilda was stern about Sunita not telling anyone she was pregnant, but relaxed when she met her grandcub. She and Mildred promised to help with Zahra, as she was Sunita's first cub. They told me I could help too, as it would teach me about taking cubs. I nodded, agreeing.

Sunita later introduced Zahra to her cousin-once-removed, Isaac. Isaac adored Zahra, and had fun letting her crawl around on his snout and paws before she collapsed tired against his mane. He brought her to Sunita to eat; once she had her fill of milk she fell asleep.

"Your parents probably had it lucky, Little Rose," Sunita remarked. "After all, Mother and Aunt Mildred told me cubs are always squealing about something. You, on the other paw, were quiet."

I chuckled silently, nodding. Yes, Daddy often said I was quite the quiet cub. "Yeah, but she could move around just as well." Isaac pointed out. "So if she needed food or wanted attention, she'd crawl to her designation and bug her parents."

We all laughed.

A little more than a week later, Zahra opened her eyes. They were blue like Kaka's, strengthening the fact that he was her father. Zahra could also walk, but could only squeak in dialogue. Sunita had been correct about her squealing. She often complained about being kept up all night feeding and nuzzling her cub. She couldn't wait until the day Zahra wasn't so dependent on her.

Zahra turned out to be as shy as her mother; the only lions she wasn't shy around were Sunita, Mildred, Matilda, Isaac, and me. She had also inherited her mother's unique hair curl on her head as well. She loved chasing after moving lions' tails, so it was apparent that she wanted to be a little huntress like her mother.

Isaac loved playing with Zahra, and vice versa. He patiently let her chase his tail, and let her climb onto him and burrow into his black mane. He loved volunteering to cubsit her when Sunita wanted some time on her own, and when I was too busy. I would often smile and think our pride was the perfect example of a family; maybe even better than at Pride Rock.

Third Person POV

Adui sat by the pond, not drinking from it; she only stared at her fuzzy reflection, looking at her red eyes and white fur. Although her mother had red eyes, it was because she was an albino, and was blind; Adui could see, albeit objects far away were blurry, and her eyes were red. She often speculated her red eyes came from someone in her family line, excluding her mother.

She heard someone come up behind her. "Hello, Adui." Isaac said.

"Hello." She greeted, not turning away from the water. "Is Zahra being watched?"

"Yes, Matilda is keeping an eye on her. Sunita is hunting."

"And Little Rose?"

"She joined in. I have a feeling as the months go by, the hunting party will see less and less of her, what with her being pregnant."

"Yes, like Sunita."

Isaac sat down beside the white lioness. "I still don't know how we never realized Sunita was pregnant. The facts were right in front of us."

"Sometimes we see things others can't, and other times, others see things we can't. And still yet, everyone doesn't see some things. It is only a matter of looking hard enough."

To any other lion—especially a stranger, or a particularly nasty lion—this would seem like nonsense talk. To Isaac, however, it made sense. And Adui's dialogue, how she spoke softly and slowly, it was soothing to Isaac as well.

"How much can you see?" He asked, immediately realizing this was an offensive question.

Adui either didn't realize it was offensive, or she didn't think it at all. "I can see as much as any other lion; things far away, like those trees in the distance, just get blurry. They look like blurs of color."

"Like when someone's eyes are crossed?"

"I suppose." Adui then changed the subject, finally looking at him. "I notice you are good with young cubs; especially Zahra."

"Well, when Little Rose and her friends were cubs, I was often the one cubsitting them. The first time I took Little Rose and Dogo from camp, they got away from me. I found them, but they ended up being chased by an old cheetah." He sighed bitterly. "I should have kept an eye on them."

"Did Scar forgive you?"

He gave her an odd look. "Yes,"

"Then you did all you could. Had you been expected to do better, he wouldn't have trusted you to cubsit them."

Isaac shrugged. "He did say I was bound to make mistakes."

"There you go." Adui smiled.

"When I was younger, I loved playing tricks. I had quite the reputation for being a troublemaker. It puzzles me still why Scar trusted me with Little Rose. He knew me since I was a cub, and knew my reputation."

"You matured." Adui said simply. "You may still play a trick now and again, but you know better. Lions grow up and lose some of their bad streaks. Like Scar, for example. He thought females to be unfit heirs, wanted only sons, and ignored his one son because he didn't meet his expectations. Now he is different; he thinks females are just as good of heirs as males, he loves his daughter, and he reconciled with Nuka. As for your case, perhaps you showed gentleness and patience with cubs, and Scar decided you would be a good cubsitter."

As Adui's words sunk in, Isaac realized she was right. He smiled at her, watching as she smiled back.

"And speaking of reputation, I had quite that in my old pride." She looked straight ahead, eyes looking distant. "I only made eye contact with the one I was speaking to half the time, and when I spoke, I seemed far away. It looked as though I were speaking into space. And I spoke such 'nonsense', I was perceived as an air headed cub. Mother never thought that, and perhaps Kaka neither, but Father especially did; he never quite liked me, thinking I would be useless as a lioness with only 'half my sight'. And the rest of the pride never liked me either. Scar's pride was my first family where I had friends; friends who liked me, despite my flaws. They never thought I was an air headed cub who spoke into space."

Isaac felt bad for Adui. Even though she didn't show it, he could tell she was sad she didn't have any friends in her old pride; not even her own father liked her. He laid a paw on hers. "I never thought of you that way." He said. "Granted, you seemed a little unusual, but that's what I like about you. And the way you speak…how you speak softly and slowly…it's quite soothing to hear you talk."

Adui slowly smiled at Isaac. "Thank you." She said. "And though you did pass off as a mischievous lion, I knew there was something more to you than meets the eye. And I was right."

Isaac smiled back at her. "Thank you." Very slowly, he nudged her cheek with his snout. She answered back by nuzzling his neck. He nuzzled her back, licking her head.

I was very surprised when Adui came to me a month later, smiling. "I have excellent news, Little Rose," She said. "I'm going to have a cub."

My eyes widened in shock. "And it's Isaac's." She continued as if sensing my hidden question. "We talked a month ago, and we realized we had a lot in common, and we liked each other."

I smiled and nuzzled my best friend, silently giving my congratulations. Isaac came over, grinning widely. "So you heard the news?"

I nodded, smiling at him. "She gives her congratulations." Adui said.

"It's a shame Little Rose can't talk," Isaac remarked. "But it's good you can translate her thoughts into words. It makes everything easier."

I nodded in agreement; I was also happy my cub/cubs would have more friends to come.

A/N When you think about it, Little Rose WAS very quiet as a cub; if she was hungry or wanted attention, she moved to where she needed to be, since she couldn't squeak her parents awake :3

You can see what Zahra looks like in a pic in my Lion King gallery on DeviantART; just as a warning, there will be other cubs as well.

I said on DA I'd explain my Adui/Isaac pairing. Despite being a trickster, Isaac is a sweet and gentle lion; not only with cubs, but with Adui as well. Now that I think about it, they look good together :3 Maybe I should do a pic of them someday...
