"Anyone care to tell me why there's a lion in the marketplace?"
"I haven't got a clue..." Yuna commented.
"How did it even get here? I didn't even know lions existed in this world..." Aerith commented.
"We may end up having to put it to sleep." Leon commented.
"What!" Aerith gasped.
"I'm not going to do it." Yuna said, using her Dress Sphere to turn into her nearly harmless pixie form.
"And even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it. Holy wont work on beings of Light." Aerith told him. "And that's the only offensive White Magic."
"Of course. I guess I'll have to do it..." Leon summoned his Gunblade, a little reluctant to have to get so much blood on it at once, and walked towards the sleeping lion.
The lion opened his eyes, growled, then... gasped?
"Leon?" It said.
This, of course, threw Leon. "You can talk?" He paused, then something hit him. "How do you know my name?"
"I was in your pocket for five years! How could I not know?" He laughed. "I was that gem. Don't know how that happened though..."
"So, your soul was the one that turned into Leon's good luck charm?"
"Which you gave to Sora." The lion said.
"So, what's your name?" Yuna asked.
"I'm Simba. And I have no idea either how I got here, or how to get back." The lion said.
"I'll take you." Aerith said, happy to help as she always was. "Follow me." She led Simba off towards the Gummi hanger.
"That was... surprisingly simple..." Leon commented.
"At least it was me here and not Rikku." Yuna said. "Ever since we visited the Pride Lands, she's never gotten enough of seeing lions..." She shuddered. "She squeals whenever she sees one. It's horrible!"
