A/N- hey! Well I needed some romance, so i am going to go ahead into the future so ya..oh and in case you are having problems picturing Zindika Rock, it has the rock like Pride Rock, then it has caves that are all connected, and there is a clearing in front of the rock, where animals gather in front of it in the morining.In each of the caves, there is a rock that is shaped like a couch, or chair.

~It's been 2 year since the Zindika Pride met the banished lions. Randa and Halazua have matured a little and they are looking for mates, but they are not lookingseriously. Halazua has about half his mane. Waya has (finally) matured a little and has a little bit of his mane! Busara is still shy, but is coming out a little. Simulizi is strong and smart and he has a full mane. He is looking for a mate very seriously, because his sub-species of lions mature fast and get mates early. The rest of the Pride is pretty much paired up and have children. They're all older than the leaders. The animals of the jungle have finally

Randa yawned and streched out on the back of the 'couch'. She aciddently kicked her brother in the face with her back foot.

"Hey!" he said from the seat of the couch. He shook his head and yawned. He stood up, streched again, and jumped down. He hadn't realized Waya and Busara were laying at the bottom of the 'couch', so he stepped right on top of them.

"Hey!" Waya and Busara scrambled around, trying to get out from under him.

"Sorry.." Halazua said quietly, and he stepped off of them. He then walked into the tunnel that lead to the other caves to wake everyone up.

Busara and Waya crawled onto his place at the seat of the couch and fell asleep again.

'I'm supposed to sleep after all this?' Randa thought. She got up, streched, and walked down the arm of the couch. She headed outside to Zindika Rock.

The family of jaguars, the gorilla mates with thier baby, and a mandrill family were already there, but there would be alot more coming. Ever since Simulizi and his group joined the pride, alot of animals had accepted them. Even the jaguars, tigers and cheetahs had accepted them. Everyday, they gathered in front of Zindika Rock to state their problems (if they had any, they hardly ever did). This was a thing that Halazua and Randa had learned from Simba and Nala.

Simba and Nala often talked to Randa and Halazua in dreams. Nala talked to Randa and Simba talked to Halazua. They had learned many things from them. They often heard about what was happening at Pride Rock. Kovu and Kiara had finally realized they had gone after about a month. They had stopped crying nonstop, and they had started looking for the cubs everyday.

"Hey." Simulizi said, walking up to Randa.

"Oh, hello." Randa said.

Simulizi looked around. "Follow me." He started down the Rock, and into the jungle.

Randa followed him, wondering where he was going.

"Look." He said, and brushed away a branch. He revealed a large lake with two cliffs, both had a waterfall going down them.

"Wow.." Randa said breathlessly.

"C'mon!" He ran to the edge of the lake and jumped in. Randa quickly followed suit.

They splashed each other and Simulizi pushed Randa under the waterfall.

"Hey!" She said, and pushed him under.

When she finally let him surface, he said, "It's getting late. We'd better go." He got out and shook off.

When they were both out and dry, Randa rubbed up against Simulizi. "Why did you bring me here?"

"I don't know, I thought you'd like it.." Simulizi said shyly.

"I loved it!" She said, and licked him, then started walking into the jungle back to Zindika Rock. She looked back at him when she was at the edge of the jungle, and winked at him.

Simulizi looked surprised. He beamed with happiness, then followed her.

A/N- yeah, i suck at romance, but i guess it was ok, well if something is messed up sorry i can't fix it cuz if i did, it erases the part in front of it so..i cant well sorry!
