Chapter Three ~~ Suspicions
"What?!" everyone but Malon shouted.
"Excuse me?!" Mira cried in total shock.
"You an I are betrothed," Malon blinked. Then he said with a laugh, " Don't tell me you lost your memory or something—"
"Actually I did, but I got it back thanks to Timon here," Mira gestured to Timon.
Malon eyed Timon suspiciously before saying, "Good job, kid, but you forgot to give her back the memory about our betrothal."
"I didn't forget anything," Timon growled.
"Well," Mira's eyes narrowed. "I remember quite a lot of my childhood and I don't recall being betrothed to anyone named Malon."
Malon looked a bit nervous when he sighed dramatically. "You probably wouldn't. We were both quite young when we were informed. I wouldn't blame you for forgetting."
"Uh, thanks I think," Mira said. "Listen, I don't wanna be rude so why don't you stay for dinner?"
"Dinner would be wonderful," Malon took Mira's hands in his, much to her dislike.
"Dinner, of course," Timon stepped between them, "will be with the rest of the colony."
"I understand," Malon smirked before he turned and walked away.
"Jerk," Timon muttered under his breath.
"Aw, c'mon, Timon," Pumbaa said.
"Yeah, he seemed pretty nice," Mira stated.
"But he's a liar!" Timon blurted out. "You don't actually believe what he said about being betrothed and all, do you?!"
"Well, he was kind of sincere," Mira looked down. "But he could be some poser from your colony."
"No, he isn't from my colony," Timon sighed.
"Oh," Mira said quietly. She looked at Pumbaa and said, "Pumbaa, could you leave us alone for a while?"
Pumbaa nodded and headed off towards the desert.
Mira looked back at Timon, who was staring at the ground.
"Timon," Mira sighed. "Are you gonna let this Malon guy come between us?"
"But what if you really are betrothed to him, Mira?" Timon said quickly as a look of sadness flickered in his usually bright eyes. "What then?"
"Timon, I love you and that's all that matters," Mira looked him in the eyes, hoping to catch a glimpse of his regular spark. "I don't care if I am betrothed to Malon. I'm sticking with you."
"I know," Timon sighed. "I love you, too, but..." Timon slid a finger under her chin and tilted her head up, "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you again."
"Don't worry," Mira hugged him. "I'm not going anywhere."

Malon watched them from the bushes. He scowled and thought to himself, ' Oh, sure, hug her now, Timon but soon she'll be in my arms.'
Malon turned and walked out into the desert. He slid down a sand dune and landed right at the feet of a hyena.
"Are you in?" the hyena growled, his face hidden in the shadows.
"Well, everyone except Timon seems to like me," Malon replied, not at all phased that he was talking to something that could eat him in a heartbeat. "Don't worry, though."
"Oh, I'm not gonna be the one to worry," the hyena said with a low growl. "Just bring the girl out here."
"I know," Malon sighed. "Give me a couple days to work my magic on her."
"I'll give you as long as you need," the hyena said, his tone rising in anger. "Just get rid of Timon and bring Mira out her so I can kill her!"
"Gotcha," Malon made a clicking sound with his tongue before he ran back towards the oasis.
The hyena snickered and stepped out of the shadows to reveal his face: it was Niku.
"This time you won't escape alive, Mira," Niku snarled. "I'll avenge my brother's death by killing you!"
