A young cub chases a small butterfly through the long grass. Her amber eyes gleam as she crouches ready to pounce. Suddenly a form lands on her sending her to the ground with a winding thud. 'Gotcha!' The cub rolled over shoving the other off her. 'Mohasu! Do you mind? I was about to.' She trails off as she realizes the butterfly was gone. 'Look what you have done now!' She pouts lightly. Mohasu grins. 'Don't be a such a sook Arabi!' She growls at him playfully then tackles him to the ground. 'Pinned ya!' He laughs then swats her with a paw 'Tag! Your it!' She laughs then leaps after him as the race towards pride rock. From above a large lion watches them a single brow raised in a bemused fashion. He smirks lightly then turns and heads into the dens. Below Arabi and Mohasu play chasing each others tails in small circles. Finally they fall over watching their world spin around them. Arabi giggles and rests her head on Mohasu's chest. Mohasu looks surprised then just grins contentedly. Arabi peers up at him with her bright blue eyes. 'We will always be friends wont we?' Mohasu nods. 'Of course! Nothing could separate us.' She smiles then closes her eyes. Her world was perfect. Nothing could go wrong now.

Later the two cubs head up to the dens occasionally giving each other a playful shove. But their playfulness ended as a deafening roar split through the afternoon stillness. Arabi gasped and turned to look at Mohasu. 'That's father!' Mohasu frowns then looks up at pride rock. something was wrong. The two cubs broke into a run eyes wide. Upon reaching the large rock the cubs halted shocked by the scene that unfolding in front of them. The two kings Ramada and Kakapo battled in front of the dens. Both had already received injuries but Ramada, Arabi's father had the edge over Kakapo as he was bigger built. Soon Ramada pinned Kakapo to the ground and snarled. 'Traitor!' Ramada's fiery eyes glinted with anger. Kakapo just smirked keeping silent. Frustrated Ramada moved away. 'You are to be exiled. Take your Pride with you. Return and I shall kill you.' Kakapo growled softly then leapt off pride rock heading away from Ramada's pride and now- his pride lands. As the male passed the two cubs his eyes narrowed. 'Come Mohasu. We must go.' Mohasu look up with shock. 'But father! I cant go!' From above Ramada called to Arabi. 'Come my daughter. I do not want you to be near him or his Spawn.' He spat the words out disgustedly. Arabi left with no choice looked to Mohasu. 'Bye...' She rubbed her head against him. He clenched his jaw tight refusing to let the tears come. If this was the last time he would see his best friend. he didn't want her to remember him as a crybaby. 'Bye Arabi. I will miss you.' Growing impatient Kakapo picked Mohasu up by the scruff passing him to his mother then heading away. Arabi dropped to her stomach hiding her sorrow in her paws. He was gone. Ramada watched his daughters sorrow from above. He frowned. no good would come of this.
