"Ha, race ya to the watering hole!" shouted a grayish brown cub with blueish gray eyes

"Your on!" shouted another grayish brown cub, but with reddish brown eyes

Sherise rolled her eyes and said "One three! 3, 2, 1! Go" before dashing off infornt of the twins

At the watering sat, Downey, Sarabi and Solo.

"Hey look. Here comes the girls" said Solo

The male cubs looked and saw a golden cub in the lead. As Downey tried to look, he fell off his rock, right when Sherise ran by and the two cubs went tumbling into the water. Downey resurface first and spit water out of his mouth before turning to looked at the damp cub not far from him.

Sherise smiled sheepishly and said "Sorry"

Downey smiled and said "Not problem" before getting out and shaking his dark cream fur dry

"What a nice fall, reject"

Downey groaned before turning around to face Zero. The dark tan cub had smirk on his face as he walked over.

Downey frowned and said "What do you want?"

Zero smiled and said "A rematch!"

Downey took a deep breath and said "No"

Everyone gasped but Sherise and Zero.

"Why not?" said Zero as he got in the prince's face

Sherise frowned and jumped in the way.

"Because he said so! That's why!"

Zero pushed her aside and snarled at the prince before pouncing. Downey made a quick move and ducked before turning around and pounced on the dark tan cub.

"I said no. Now run alone and leave me and my friends alone"

Zero nodded and when Downey let go, the dark tan bully ran like his tail was on fire.

"Oh, that was impressive" smiled the blue eye grayish brown cub

Downey smiled lightly and said "Thanks, Anna"

Then the reddish brown eye grayish brown cub walked over and said "Very impressive, where you learn to fight like that?"

Downey pinned his ears and said "Thanks, Mya and I learned from my dads"

Sherise rolled her eyes and said "Who wants to play tag!"

Everyone shouted "Me!" than ran off shouting "Downey's it!"

Before Downey went after his friends, he turned to Sherise and nuzzled her.

Sherise blushed and said "What was that for?"

Downey smiled and said "For being a good friend" before going after the other cubs

Sherise smiled before running off in another direction. Sherise was running when he saw Downey looking for their friends she quickly hid behind a tree.

"Hey! When did this become hide n seek!" yelled Downey

Downey walked by Sherise hiding spot and she couldn't help the giggles that escaped her mouth. Just then she felt herself fall down and tumble down a nearby hill, to be pinned.

"Ha, the might pinned gets pinned" laughed Solo as he and the other cubs came out of heir hiding spots

Sherise opened her eyes to see bright blue eyes staring down at her.

"Pinned ya!"

Sherise smiled and pushed Downey off playfully before going into a brief wrestle match.

"Get her!" shouted Sarabi and Solo

As Mya and Ann shouted "Get him!"

After a few minutes Sherise found herself on her back.

"Ha, pinned ya again"

The day continued on like that till Kiara, Bella and Vitani came to get their cubs. Downey sat on a boulder and watched his friends leave with their mothers. Downey pinned his ears as he sat on his rock. A few minutes later a dark shadow was walking toward the prince.

"Downey?"

Downey looked up and saw Kiara standing in front of him.

"What happened? When I got home, you wasn't with us"

Downey perked his ears up and said "You came for me too?"

Kiara smiled as she said "Of course I did, your my favorite nephew"

Downey giggled and Kiara sighed and said "Downey, I know it's must be hard with you being the only one without a mother"

Downey sighed and pinned his ears.

Kiara nuzzled the prince and said "If you ever need a motherly advice, I want you to know that I'm here for you"

Downey perked up his ears and smiled at his aunt.

Kiara smiled lovingly at her nephew and said "Let's go home"

Downey jumped off his rock and headed home at the golden pelted queen's side.
