ZAZU'S POV

Those inobediant, rambuncious cubs! They escaped. Only the kings could know where they' ve gone! Somtimes I think that the kings purposely made them so difficult to test my patience and devotion to Mufasa. After I finished explaning the whole betrothed business, Simba and Nala created utter chaos! I was trampled, thrown, even held hostage by monkeys!
After a huge crash, I was underneath a rhinocerous! "Excuse me madam but, GET OFF!" she paid no mind to me and stayed sitting. It was only when her rhino friend came along did she stand and release me. Ugh, I smelled like rhino buttocks. DISGUSTING! I then remembered the two cubs who were my responsibility. I flew around the Pridelands and finally saw two bright spots in the Elephant Graveyard. Good lord, they were going straight into hyena territory! I zoomed in. "STOP! The only checking out you will do will be checking out of here!"
Simba greeted me with an annoyed "Aw man!" Cubs. After expressing my concerns, Simba called me 'Bannana Beak'. Please, "That's Mr. Bannana Beak to you fuzzy! And we are all in very real danger!" "Danger? HAH! I laugh in the face of danger! HA HA HA HA!" He just didn't get it! Suddenly, a horrible laughter peirced the air and Simba hid behind me. Sure, NOW he was scared. Three, terribly ugly looking hyenas emerged from the skulls like ghosts from the grave. Mufasa HAD to get a new baby sitter!

NALA'S POV

They approached slowly, still laughing, as if they KNEW that they would get us. The female one chuckled. "Well, well, well Bonzai, what do we have here?" the second one smiled. "I don't know Shenzi, Ed?" the third just laughed like a phsyco-path and slobbered more than I thought possible. The one named Bonzai got closer. "Your right! It looks like a trio of trespassers!" I was scared silent. Zazu managed to stammer "And quite by accident I assure you. We were just passing by. Oh! Look at the sun, It's time to go!" he started to push us away from them. Shenzi jumped in front of us and steered us toward the others."Wait! We'd love you to stick around for dinner!" Bonzai thought for a moment. "Yeah! We could have whatever's lion around!" As they interchanged cheesy jokes, we slipped away and started running. We didn't get far when we heard growling behind us. Then, Zazu screamed and was gone. I was all out of breath, so was Simba. "Hey, wheres Zazu." We followed the sound of laughter and soon saw a beacon of light overhead. Zazu! He was on fire! "Hey!" what was Simba doing? Was he TRYING to get us killed? "Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?" Shenzi did exactly what I thought she would do. "Like You?" Simba's face fell. "Oops."
No duh Simba! Sometimes he was such an Idiot! We ran as fast as we could, running on pure adrenaline. I followed Simba, I didn't know where we were, or where we were going, but I trusted Simba with my life. He led us straight to a spine, we slid down it like a slide, I grabbed unto Simba's shoulders, not wanting to lose him. We flew in the air and landed on a pile of bones, hearing snapping and growling behind us, we scrambled up and ran again, right up to a mountain of carcasses. We started to climb it but I lost my grip and started to slide into the hyenas jaws. I screamed the onlly word that came to my mind "Simba!" he ran down and swiped at the hyena's face, claws extended. She slid down and knocked into the other hyenas,
bringing them all into the ground. When we reached the top, we stopped for a second to catch our breath. In between gasps I said, "You. You saved my life. For the second time!" He laughed a little. "Actually the third. I saved you from drowning." This surprised me. He saved my life 3 times in one week! I couldn't stop myself. I put my paws around his neck and kissed him. Full on mouth kiss! I heard him make a 'hmm' sound of surprise but I didn't stop. I was in heaven. I finally pulled away after a good 5 or 6 seconds. He was in total shock.
He was just looking at me, eyes wide, mouth slightly parted. He started to say something but we heard growling. The hyenas made it up the mountain.

SIMBA'S POV

I should have listened to dad, he told me not to come here! I didn't listen and now we were running away from 3 vicious, hungry hyenas. I was going to be responsible for all of our deaths. Nala's death. After running for a while, Zazu screamed. We followed the sound of their hysterical laughter to find Zazu being fired into the sky. While on fire! My mouth went and did another stupid thing! I ended up saying "Hey! Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?" I had to tie this thing closed! They ended up chasing us up and down the whole place, I found a spine and slid down it. I felt Nala grab unto me and I tried to say that I liked her, just in case we did die but it came out more like "Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay" this was not my day. We flew through the air, landing on a pile of bones. I wanted to rest! My muscles were aching! But growling made me stand up and keep going. We ran straight into a bone mountain and started to climb it. We were almost up but I heard a scream behind me "Simba!" Nala was sliding straight into the hyenas jaws! I reacted. I ran down and swiped at it's face. I managed to catch her by surprise and she fell into the others. They were in a heap on the ground. When we reached the top, we finally rested. I heard Nala gasp "You. You saved my life. For the second time!" I laughed, no one told her who saved her from drowning! "Actually the third. I saved you from drowning." at this, she looked completly surprised. What came next caught me completly off guard. She wrapped her paws around my neck and kissed me! I closed my eyes. THIS WAS HEAVEN. I felt like I could fly, like my heart would jump out of chest!
NO! Even better! Words cannot describe what I felt at that blissful moment. She pulled away, sadly. I opened my eyes and my mouth. I could not believe what just happened! She kissed me! Now my stupid, retarded mouth wouldn't work! I tried to say that I liked her, Heck loved her! But my mouth was stuck. Suddenly, growling interrupted me. The hyenas were back I just pulled her forward and down the other side of the mountain. I would not let us die. Especially not her. Not now. But with my rotten luck, I led us into a dead end. We ran on top of a skeleton and attempted to climb the wall but fell through. Nala backed up against the wall. I stood in front of her. If they were going to hurt her, they were going to have to go through me. Weak defense, I know, but it was all I could do. I mustered all of the air I had and let out... a yowl. I was going for a roar. One of the approaching hyenas laughed. "That was it? Ha ha! Do it again, tell me." I geared up again but this time I heard an earsplitting roar. WOAH! Oh wait that wasn't me. It was my dad! He was here! And he was beating hyena butt! Zazu swooped down and landed next to us. After scaring the hyenas alot, he told us that we had to go home. On they way back to Pride Rock, I kept thinking about how much trouble I was in!
That, and Nala's magical kiss. I kept sneaking glances. She had her head down. Once or twice, I could have sworn that she looked back. I couldn't be sure though. I wanted to kiss her again soo bad! I remember the warmth that spread all throughout my body, the lightheaded feeling I had. The pounding of my heart, the feeling of her soft lips against mine. Her paws and arms around my neck, every moment was permently burned into my brain. I kept replaying it. I loved it. I loved her. My dad ruined the whole thing by sending her home ahead and keeping me behind with him. He lectured me about putting myself in danger. And Nala as well. That really hurt. Afterwards though, we started to wrestle and I knew that everything was okay. He told me that all of the great kings of the past were looking down from the stars. That was cool, they were looking out for me. I knew it. We walked back to the den and I saw Nala, asleep. She looked like an angel. My angel. I would make sure of that tommorow.

NALA'S POV

I was a complete idiot! I should have just said thanks, or given him a hug, but not kissed him! He probably thought that I was disgusting! Or, or covered in cooties! But It was worth it.
I felt warm all over, I felt tingly and light. I was floating, lighter than air! His lips against mine, it was pure heaven! I wanted despratly to find out what he thought. But I didn't find out.
We were interrupted by hyenas. He pulled me down the mountain and into a dead end. Okay, he needed to stop making stupid decisions. We climbed on top of a skeleton but fell through. I backed up against the wall. Simba stood in front of me. He tried to roar and scare the hyenas but instead he yowled. I mentally groaned. He meant well, I knew he did. But he didn't help things. On his second try there was a deafening roar. Mufasa! He jumped down and made the hyenas sorry. Sorry for everything. He then made us go home. On our way back home, I kept thinking about that kiss. Did he like it? Did he feel what I felt? I looked at him a couple of times and I think he looked at me too! I think. I sure hope he did. I was sent home ahead of Simba and his dad. When I got there, my mom looked at me up and down and fussed for a long time. When she finally calmed down, I saw Jari staring at me like if she had seen a ghost. Her look of disbelief turned to one of anger. She turned around and slept with her back to me. What did I do? I was too tired to care. I curled up next to my mom and fell asleep with the kiss replaying again and again.

JARI'S POV

What! Nala was still alive! That no good Scar lied! He said his other people would take care of it! I was too mad to get to sleep! I eventually did though, by listing all of the things that I was gonna tell Scar tommorow. And by listing several back up plans in case Scar didn't have any. My mom looked worried though. She looked around the den and always decided a place to sleep after everyone else settled down. It was annoying. Today, she was especially jumpy, she chose a spot at the back of the den, she placed me at the wall and stayed looking around for a while before finally laying her head down and going to sleep. What was she so afraid of? This isn't like her former pride! She was safe! For my mom to be scared, scared me. After her whole ordeal, she had become alot braver, she helped fend off attacking rouges once! So what could she be so afraid of? What could possibly scare her so much that she had to look for a spot after everyone else? I had no idea. And that terrified me.

LIVALI'S POV

No no no no! This could not be happening. This was all a nightmare. I would wake up with my daughter next to me, Sarabi waiting for me to join the hunting party, and my history buried and forgotten. I was not that lucky. Rafiki was still in front of me, waiting for an answer that was implanted in my brain. Locked in a memory that I never wanted to remember. I actually managed to forget, a while ago the answer that the mandrill wanted so badly faded away. And I was happy. But now, if I didn't answer, everyone that I grew to love, was in danger. My mouth was dry. My brain was still reeling. "So, did you rememba?" Rafiki was putting away the ingredients for a tonic he gave me. One that helped with memory. "Yes." I whispered. "I remember." Sarabi, Mufasa, and Sarafina were sitting close-by. At my answer, they put their heads closer, ears forward. My mind traveled once again to that night. To that night when my world shattered.

"Where are they taking us?" Sarafina leaned close to me, away from the two males who led the five of us to a dark cave.
"I don't know." This was true. None of us knew. When we entered the cave, they told us to wait in the back. We did. Disobedience in this pride meant a good smack, mabye with some claw. After a while of silent confusion, five males entered, including those who led us here, two I did not recognize. They all looked us over and smiled. I was terrified. The first to approach was a light tan male with a light brown mane. He walked over to Sarafina and motioned with his head to follow him. She whimpered, gave me a scared look, and followed.
She faded from my sight as she went into a tunnel. The next to approach was a brown male with a black mane. What struck me were his eyes. Bright green, Bright vibrant green. Almost iredecent. He motioned for me to follow him. I did, not wanting to get hurt. He also led me down a tunnel and into a smaller chamber. I was terrified. He gave me a creepy smile.
The last thing I remember was his paw coming for my head. And waking up next to him. He grabbed me from the scruff of my neck, thinking I was still asleep. And dragged me to the other lionesses. When they all woke up they told us we could leave. We did. Several weeks later, I felt a kick, a movement in my belly. In between that and the bouts of morning sickness, I concluded that I was pregnent. And that that lion that night in the cave was responsible. Sarafina, was pregnant as well. We decided that night that we couldn't stay. We wouldn't let our cubs go through the same thing. No matter how they were concieved. So we ran. We ran day and night, until we reached the pridelands.

I realized that everyone was still waiting. I breathed deeply.
"Scar." They got wide eyed.
"Scar's the father, I'm sure of it, unless there is another lion with bright green eyes, dark fur, and and and, and black mane." they just stared. Mufasa finally breathed.
"Scars the father...Scars the father."
