Afina!" My big Brother hugged me tightly. I hugged back until my spine was nearly crushed. "It's great to see you Af." He said.

"It's amazing too see you Jerr. Hey, your mane finnally grew in!" He proudly shook his thick, black mane. "What took ya so long Sis?"

"Long story Jerrin." Aaliyha explained. "But she's here now." Another group hug followed. "So, how long are you planning on staying Sis?" Jerrin asked me.

"A few days." My siblings looked on sadly. "Sorry guys. But no way Scar can get on without me."

"How is he?" Jerrin asked licking his paw. "And the twins."

"He's fine. The girls are getting along. Their big sisters now actually." Jerrin looked surprised. "I have a son."

"It's not nice to keep secrets Afina." I turned to find my three younger sisters behind me.

"It's not nice to twist and spread them around either Suhaila." I responded.

"Oh cme now Sis, we're not cubs anymore." Abla replied. "We've matured, it's time for a truce."

"Yeah, and we haven't talked ta you in like, a bazillion years." Malika exaggerated. "What have you been doing Af?"

"Well, first I should tell you why I haven't been around." I sat down, and my siblings followed, ready for a long story. "Well there's this lioness named Nala..."

Back in the pridelands, Amina was sharpening her claws, and Nuka was watching, bored.

"I miss Mama." He sighed.

"She's only been gone a couple of hours Nuk." Amy replied. "But yeah, I miss her too."

"When will she be back Amy?" Nuka poked at a feather Zazu had discarded.

"In a few days Nuka."

"But that's too long!" He huffed. Amy chuckled. "I felt the same way when she left me to go hunting lil' brother." Nuka scowled. He hated being called little. "Amy?"

"Yes Nuka?" She faced him. It had taken a lot of patience and practice to answer everyone of his questions without losing her cool.

"This is a very serious question. And I want a true answer. Even if it's not what I want to hear." He explained.

"I'd never tell you something that isn't true Nuk." Amina replied.

"Does Daddy...Hurt Mom?"

The question hit my Amina hard. She stared down at her brother. "No. Of course not. How'd you get such an idea?"

"Well, he dosn't, so let's be happy!" Nuka tried to brush it away.

"Nuka. Who told that?" She replied sternly.

"Nala." He said quietly. Embarrassed. "She said that Mama is leaving us. For good. Because Daddy, well you know."

Amina took a deep breath. "Zazu!" She called.

The blue hornbill swooped down and landed next to her. "Yes Princess?"

"Stay here with Nuka. Nuka, when I come back, tell me everything Nala said." She ran off before Zazu could protest. Nuka looked at the bird hungrily.

"NALA!" She yelled, scaring off a herd of zebras that Nala was stalking. She didn't care, she was mad.

"Way to go Princess! You just scared our dinner off! Jeez, you whole family is a bunch of screw-ups huh?" Amina caught her by the neck and threw her against a tree.

"Listen Nala!" She roared. "You can mess with me, but you do not mess with my Brother you hear me?"

"I don't know what your talking about!"

Amina slammed the lioness again. "Stop lying Nala!" She shouted.

"I didn't lie to him. The way your "Dad" treats us, I wouldn't be surprised at the things he probably does to your Mom." Nala smirked. "And I don't blame her for leaving."

"My Dad wouldn't hurt her for anything on the world. And she didn't leave. And if I catch you lying to Nuka again, the vultures will have full bellies."

"Now that's no way for a Princess to act."

"No. It's the way a big sister acts." She slammed Nala one last time. "Now get out of my sight." Nala glared at Amina, before running off. Amina let out a shaky breath.

"Jeez, why havn't you banished this Nala bit-"

"Language Aal!" Jerrin snapped.

"Well, once I tell Scar what she's done, I don't think she'll bother us anymore." I said.

"Well now let's put that behind and enjoy our sister." Jerrin said standing up.

"I'd like that." I smiled.


Yay for filler chapters! Thanks to: Grey dog, and miggzzz for reviewing! BTW I don't hate Nala...much.

QOTC: Is there any flashbacks you'd like to see in the future chapters? Any plot holes I should fill in? I'm trying to make the next chappie longer.
