DarkEcoOttsel: Thanks for the reviews! They perk me up when I'm feeling down, especially yesterday. I tripped over a freakin trash bag and sprained my ankle. Curse my short attention span!

Chapter Two
A few weeks later, Banzai was lying on the cool grass under a tree, trying to cool off. He was just about to doze off when someone nudged him. He grunted and rolled over, knowing very well who it was.
"Banzai."
Banzai opened both eyes and groaned as Shenzi's face came into focus.
"What is it, Shenzi?"
"I'm bored."
"Yeah, well I'm tired," Banzai yawned. "We played all day yesterday and I'm trying to recover."
Shenzi was silent for a minute before she sat down and began staring at Banzai.
Banzai glared at the young female and closed his eyes. He felt Shenzi's strong gaze burning through his eyelids. He sighed and sat up after a couple seconds.
"Alright...what do you wanna do?"
Shenzi's face lit up and she jumped up.
"Yay!" she giggled. "Let's play hide and go seek! You're it!"
"Okay," Banzai nodded as she ran off to go and hide. He fell back onto the grass. At least he would get thirty seconds of sleep.
After mentally counting to thirty, he got up and began looking for his best friend. After about fifteen minutes of searching, he began to panic. Where the heck was she?! He had searched everywhere...well, almost everywhere.
He turned to the big hill that didn't seem as big as it did a couple weeks ago. Now, as he stared at it, he realized he never told Shenzi not to go there. That's cause she never asked about it.
Oh man! Banzai thought. If she went over there...oh man! I gotta go get her before someone realizes she's gone!
He bolted up the hill and stopped when he reached the top. He gasped loudly at what he saw: bones. Lots of elephant bones were scattered all over. Some were huge and others were microscopic. Banzai only tore his gaze away when he realized Shenzi was standing right next to him, also staring at the graveyard.
"Shenzi!" Banzai snapped after the shock wore off. "What are you doing here?! You're supposed to stay in the Outlands!"
"Cool," Shenzi murmured, not paying any attention to Banzai's rambling. She began moving towards the graveyard but Banzai stopped her.
"No, Shenzi—"
"Why?" Shenzi turned to stare at him. "Are you scared?"
Banzai hesitated but said quietly, "No, but—"
"Then come on!"
