DarkEcoOttsel: Do you people hate me?! I didn't get any reviews for the
last chapter...(sniff). I haven't given up on this story and I don't intend
to! Uh, just read this chapter and review people! Please?
Chapter Two ~~ Da New Guy
"Timon, there you are!" Ma shouted once she spotted her son lounging in a hammock by a stream.
"What's up, Ma?" Timon sat up.
"I need to discus something with you," Ma said quietly as she walked up to him. "You did tell Mira that you love her, right?"
"Uh, yeah, a couple times," Timon blinked.
"Did you propose?"
"A-what?!" Timon stuttered. "Y-you mean asking M-Mira to marry me?"
"Yeah, and judging by the stuttering I guess that's a no."
"No," Timon sighed. "Not yet anyways. Why?"
"Well, someone's gotta become the alpha," Ma said with a small grin. "As soon as you're married, you'll become the alpha male and rule over the entire oasis."
"Uh...but..."
"Take your time, honey," Ma began to walk away. "No pressure. Although you better ask her soon before another guy asks her!"
Ma left, leaving Timon to ponder her words.

A few hours later, Timon, Mira and Pumbaa were looking for lunch.
"Hey, Pumbaa," Timon said once Mira was out of earshot. "I know it seems like I've been ignoring you, but its not on purpose!"
"Oh, I know, Timon," Pumbaa smiled. "Besides, I've met someone, too."
Timon's jaw dropped. "Really?! Who?!"
"I met Ami out in the desert a few weeks ago. We started talking and became really good friends."
"Well, it looks like you won't be the only bachelor around here anymore," Timon grinned. "You should introduce her to everyone sometime."
"Yeah," Pumbaa nodded.
Suddenly, Uncle Max burst through some bushes to the right of the two, nearly causing them to have a heart attack.
"Geez, Uncle Max!" Timon put a paw over his heart. "Warn someone before doing that!"
"Where's Mira?" Max asked, ignoring Timon's remark.
"I'm right here," Mira walked over to them. "What's up?"
"There's someone here to see you," Max said before he left.
"Huh?" the three friends asked, confused.
Just then a male meerkat stepped out from the bushes. He was a little taller than Timon and a bit more muscular. He wore a cocky grin on his handsome face.
"Mira!" he cried as he walked up to Mira and embraced her.
Mira was totally surprised, Timon's anger sparked, and Pumbaa blinked.
"Hey, buddy!" Mira snapped as she wriggled out of his grasp. "Just who do you think you are?!"
"Why, Mira, I'm surprised that you would forget me, Malon," the male said in a shocked tone.
"Look, Malon, why don't you tell us why you're here and when you'll be leaving?" Timon growled.
"I'm here to see Mira," Malon glanced at Timon, but kept his gaze on Mira.
"Sorry, Malon, but I've never heard of you before," Mira folded her arms across her chest.
"But how could you forget me—the one you're betrothed to?"
