Hi and here's chapter 4! Bambi, we haven't had any reviews yet, so should we continue it? Anyways, if anyone DOES decide to read, leave a review! Thank you!

Maya sighed as she heard her father's roar again. She sped up and thought of the three cubs. They were really nice, she thought, and Bailey was really cute when he made that little growl of his, and when he looked at Maya with his sweet eyes. She giggled and bounded into the cave. 'Maya, why didn't you come back when your father called you?' Kicku asked as Maya nuzzled her arm.

'Sorry mum, but I was only playing.' Kicku pulled a face and sniffed Maya. Maya raised an eyebrow.' What?'

'I can smell other lions on you........' she pulled another face.

'Oh yeah-there my new friends. Kiki and Tiku and-Bailey.' She sighed again.

'Oh?'

'But Maya, you shouldn't really be hanging around with cubs from another pride.' Mohatu said as he took a bite into a wilderbeest.

'Yeah, well-what about grandpa?' Shengo looked up.

'What about me?'

'You said that you met grandma from another pride. Everyone was alright with that.' Sarsha nodded.

'She has a point. And besides, we should really let Maya get out more often. Make some new friends, you know? She's the only cub in this pride and deserves some friends of her own age.'

'Yeah. But mum, it's different!' Mohatu whispered in her ear. 'These cubs she's never met before!' Maya looked up from the piece of meat she was eating and glared at her father.

'Daddy, there fine! Really! Please dad, please let me play with them tomorrow, please?' Mohatu looked at Kicku. She nodded.

'Well, I suppose........' Maya jumped up in delight.

'Yes! Oh thanks daddy, you're the best!' she ran towards him and nuzzled him before abandoning her meat and running out.

'Wait! Aren't you hungry?' but she was already gone and Mohatu stared after her. Maya laughed and looked up at the pink-purple sky and saw a male lion smiling at her. The dandelion petals swept past her and she continued to watch.

Kita yawned widely and licked her paw. She watched as Tiku closed his eyes and then jerked awake. 'Tiku, come here.' Tiku walked lazily towards his mother and lay down besides her. 'Just get some rest, Tiku.' Tiku nodded and yawned. Kita licked his head and fell to sleep. She looked up and saw Kiki talking to Bailey. But they were too far away to hear what she was saying.

'How do you like Maya, Bailey?' Bailey smiled and made an excited noise and jumped up. He got low on his belly and pounced on an imaginary something.

'You want to play with her, don't you?' Bailey nodded and smiled again. Kiki smiled and licked his for head. Bailey purred and went towards Kita to go to sleep. Kiki smiled and looked at her reflection in a puddle. She smiled; she wanted to make Bailey happy and new she was going to. She was also happy that they had made another new friend. The wind ruffled the tuft of white fur on her head and she went to go to sleep next to Kita and the others. Kita nuzzled her and she smiled. Kiki looked up.

'Can I tell you something, Kita?' Kita smiled.

'You know you can tell me anything.'

'Well, I know I don't mention it much, but I miss my parents........a lot........' Kita drooped her ears. She licked Kiki.

'I don't really know what it is like to lose parents, as lost mine at a very young age, but I do miss mine. But they will always be with you.' Kiki sighed.

'I hate humans.' She suddenly blurted out. Kita looked surprised.

'I can understand why after what they did, but hate is a very strong word.' Kiki sighed again.

'I know........I just wish they didn't do what they did. What makes it worst is they killed Bailey's parents too. And because he can't talk, I don't really know how he feels about that. We've never mentioned it around him. That's why I want Maya to meet him properly, so he can have someone else to love him too........'

'Who's Maya?'

'Oh-she's this cub that we met today in the-Pride Lands was it? I can't remember what they were called........I think it was the Pride Lands anyway.' She looked up at Kita and saw that she looked stunned. 'Umm, are you o.k.?' Kiki asked. Kita nodded after a while.

'Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine........well, I'm glad that you've met a new friend!' Kiki smiled. 'Just get some sleep now.' She nuzzled Kiki and she fell to sleep. Bailey, who had secretly been listening, frowned a bit. His eyes were closed, but he had been listening to everything they had been saying. Maya........if Kiki wanted him to be happy with Maya, then he would do his best to be. He sighed and fell to sleep. Kita looked at the sky. The Pride Lands? No. she must have got it wrong. Not her old home. Not the Pride Lands.
