Vitani was feeling a lot better now.
"You okay Vitani?" Kiara asked
"Yeah, I'm fine." She answered back, "Kiara, can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, what?"
"What did you do you when you found out you were having a cub?" Vitani asked
"Well, I was very happy because you know I wanted a cub." Kiara answered
"Oh, I thought so. But, are other cubs allowed?" She asked
"Of course, Tani," Nala answered, "After all I was another cub from the Pride lands."
"Oh." Vitani said and walked away
Later on Kopa was lying in a cave away from the sun. He was feeling hungry and lonely.
"Well well well." Came a voice
Kopa got up to see who is was.
"Barden, go away!" Kopa roared
"You're not getting off the hook so easily for killing my brother!" Barden yelled and they started fighting.
But suddenly a lioness jumped in front of Kopa and started fighting Barden and beat him.
"Amira, this is no time for games!" Barden screamed
"Leave Kopa alone!" Amira yelled back
"Pft, lionesses." Barden whispered to himself and walked away
"Amira? What are you doing here?" Kopa asked
"I came because I heard fighting, and I found you." She rubbed under his neck.
Kopa smiled, "Amira, you know that…" He stopped
"What?" She asked
"We can't be one. I love you too, but I have a pride to attend to. A mate also." He stammered
"Wha-why didn't you tell me this!" She roared
"I'm sorry, but I have to go home." He tried to calm her down
"No! You won't go home! I love you and you can't leave!" She cried
"Amira, let me go!" Kopa roared
"No!" She continued crying
"My mate is pregnant and I need to go." He said calmly
"I can't believe you!" She cried and ran away
"Amira! Don't go to the Outlands!" Kopa yelled but he was too late
With a sigh and turned back to Pride Rock. Meanwhile, at Pride Rock the cubs were playing. Kefira then realized she was in love with Kiburi.
"Let's go to the Watering Hole." Koda suggested
"Yeah!" The others agreed
"Let's play pounce." Alakay said
"Good one." Kiburi suggested
Alakay went to pounce on Kefira, who was daydreaming and she fell into the Watering Hole. She couldn't keep her head above water and was struggling.
"Help!" She continued screaming
"She can't swim!" Alakay yelled, "Go get her king!"
"I can't swim either!" Koda yelled
"I'll save you, Kefira!" Kiburi yelled
"You can't swim either!" Alakay exclaimed
Meanwhile, Kiburi was trying to keep his head above water. He grabbed Kefira by the scruff and put her on the land where she coughed out water. He couldn't get back up and couldn't keep his head above water. He couldn't breathe anymore and ended up falling to the bottom where he lay, lifeless.
"Koda! Go get dad!" Alakay exclaimed, "I'll keep an eye on Kefira."
Koda did as he was told and went and got Kovu.
"Dad, it's an emergency!" Koda yelled
"What?" Kovu asked
"Just come here!" Koda screamed
Kovu and Koda ran to the Watering Hole where Kefira was laying, sleeping.
"Alakay, what happened?" Kovu asked
"Kefira fell in the water and Kiburi went to get her from the water and he drowned." He said all in one breath.
"Oh no!" Kovu yelled going underwater to get Kiburi
He returned above the surface with the cub in his mouth and put him on the ground. He knew what to do and Kiburi spit out the water and lay there.
"Kiburi, can you hear me?" Kovu panicked
"Yes." Kiburi said weakly
"We need to get you back to the den and get Rafiki." Kovu said calmly
Rafiki came to the den and checked on the two cubs.
"Kefira is fine but as for Kiburi, he's very weak and may not make it. Keep it easy on him and let him rest a lot. I'll come by and check on him tomorrow." Rafiki informed and left.
