Nala chased her daughter into a small rocky cave, where they were surrounded by large trees and branches. Rafiki's tree was spotted a few miles away - it was far but you could still see it.

"Kiara?" the youth turned her head only to find her mother's sky blue eyes filled with peace and worry.

"I.. I tried to confront him and he.. he doesn't w..want cubs." Kiara sniffed, receiving a quick embrace from her mother.

"Give him time. Maybe we'll get Rafiki or Sarabi to talk to him."

"Yeah.. they're good at confronting people."

"Let's go home." said Nala, leading her daughter. Kiara felt humiliated for running out on the family like this and for a silly reason. Was it a silly reason? She didn't know.

After a few minutes, the two lionesses reached Pride Rock only to find the pride lounging, chatting, sleeping and bathing - the usual Pride Rock lifestyle.

Kovu was sat with Vitani, Simba and Shani. Niobe, Nieera and the new cub were all playing and tumbling, Sarabi and Sarafina were of course lounging as they always did and Rafiki was there, examining some lionesses.

"Kovu? Can I talk to you?" asked Kiara, more serious than before.

"I-" he was cut off by Simba who shot him a glare and coughed his throat. "Okay." Kovu sighed and walked in behind his mate. Nala took his place next to her husband, curling up to him and purring loudly.

"You.. you need some time?" asked Shani, seeing she was in heat. Nala was always in heat, she probably loved it.

Nala blushed and got up. Simba rolled his eyes playfully and walked after her. "I'll be back." he said, a very sassy tone.

"Just go!" said Vitani, giggling and different pictures coming up upon her mind. 'Yuck!' she thought.

Inside the cave, Kovu tried to be braver than before.

"I'm sorry I was .. I was .. I didn't get your opinion first." she apologized, nuzzling up to him - to which he accepted.

"Sorry I was so stubborn. You were .. uh.. you were right. I wasn't acting kingly nor generous. I'm sorry. I'll do anything for you to owe you." he said. He didn't actually know what Kiara would go for but he assumed what it was.

"Well..." Kiara looked to her right. She knew what she wanted, Kovu had a rough idea of what she wanted and she would get it. A smirk was drawn across her muzzle and she moved over to him.

Timon and Pumbaa were close to the kopje. They had run upon Zazu and a different purple bird.

"Who's this girl?" said Timon, raising his eye brows up and down.

Zazu sighed. "This.. this is Nzuri. Do you mind? You're interrupting our-"

"Date?" Timon looked to Pumbaa giggling.

"Hmph!" Nzuri gave Zazu a cross look and took off, disappointed. Zazu was fuming with rage and same.

"Why'd you do that? Look what you did! Now she hates me!"

"Oh, Well, I know how to get her back." said Pumbaa, addressing himself forward. "Give her lots of kisses and flowers and-"

"Oh, Pumbaa! You're doin' it all wrong!" moaned Timon, slapping his hand on his forehead.

"I am?"

"Yes!" Timon turned to Zazu. "Look, birdie. Give her some grub and if that doesn't work, try to get her jealous! If she gets jealous, she'll fight back for you." said Timon, satisfied with himself.

"Are you sur-" Zazu was cut off.

"No need to thank me! Actually, you might need to give me some lifetime supply of grub." said Timon, slapping the horn bill on the back to which he pulled on his face.

The two companions headed to Pride Rock and they heard giggles in the bush.

"Huh?" gasped Pumbaa, seeing the bush wiggle. "Did you see that, Timon?"

"No, Pumbaa! You're imagining things! Maybe you need.. uh.. one of those.. seeing things." said Timon, boasting. Just then, the meerkat saw something move too. "You're right.." he said, walking over to the bush.

He pulled the bush apart and saw Simba and Nala, resting their bodies on the grass.

"What the..?"

"Oh! Timon, Pumbaa? We were telling jokes to each other." said Simba. They were actually telling jokes. They had just finished going at it and they were just waiting for the stink to fade.

"Oh, would you lie to accompany us to Pride Rock?" asked Pumbaa, sticking his head into the bush.

"Um..Later?" said Simba, trying to not let them know they were at it.

At Pride Rock, Kovu and Kiara were sat with their two daughters.

"What shall we name you?" asked Kiara.

"I don't know, mommy." replied the sandy cub, rolling in the grass.

"We'll decide later. I want to speak to Rafiki." said Kiara, getting up.

"Why?" asked Kovu, pulling the cubs close to him.

"I want to see how he's doing. I haven't seen him since Dan.. I mean SHE died." said Kiara, trying to not give away the cub's real mother - Nieera's mother.
