Chapter was originally longer, but seemed too long.  So the other part's gonna be uploaded later.  Sorry for this being a short chapter... so far shortest chapter I've uploaded on this site. ::gives herself a lame prize:: Yay.

Chapter 19:

Bango and Morake got a fair distance into the Pride Lands before Morake finally ran out of juice and sat down, panting heavily. Bango noticed the lessened running footsteps, so he stopped and looked back at him.

"Are you OK, Morake?" he asked panting as he walked back to the cheetah.

Morake panted and nodded. "Ju--Just give me a f--few minutes."

Bango looked back towards the Outlands and blinked. "I don't see it chasing us."

"I don't think it ever leaves the Outlands. Maybe it only scares animals so it can be left alone."

Bango gulped, "Wonder what it eats." He went to look away, but something caught his eye. "I thought you said it never leaves."

Morake swallowed, "It doesn't."

"Well, something's coming this way..." Morake looked.

"Don't worry, Bango! Daddy's coming!" a voice called to them.

"Daddy?" Morake blinked, looking at Bango.

"Uh-oh, I'm busted," Bango gulped as he recognized Pumbaa running towards them.

Pumbaa ran up towards them, and then slowed to a trot when he realized they were no longer running. He blinked at Morake. "A cheetah cub? Why would they send a cub after Bango?" he asked. "I guess the big ones were out to lunch."

"Who's they, Dad?" Bango asked.

"The kidnap--" Pumbaa forgot the situation briefly until Bango spoke up. "Bango! You're safe!" He pulled Bango into a tight hug. "Oh, you have no idea how worried I was!" He felt Bango tapping on his front legs. "What?"

"Getting... dark..." Bango managed to get out.

Pumbaa quickly released the piglet, who coughed briefly. "Sorry." He then cleared his throat and pushed against Bango with his snout. "Hurry, son, before he gets his second wind!"

"What? Who?" Bango asked, looking very confused.

"That cheetah!" Pumbaa motioned with his tail. "He was chasing you, wasn't he?"

"No, Dad, he was running behind me! Morake's my friend."

"Huh?" Pumbaa turned to Morake. "Your friend?" He then smiled and nodded, thinking he understood. "Oh, OK, I get it. He was kidnapped with you and Kito and you became friends. And then you two managed to escape the kidnappers and were on your way to Pride Rock to get Uncle Simba's help to free Kito, right?"

"Kidnappers?" Morake blinked.

Is that what Shani told them? Well, she didn't tattle on us anyway, Bango thought. "Uh... well, actually--"

"That's a good idea, son. We'll go grab your Uncle Timon and then we'll get Uncle Simba's help." Pumbaa turned to lead the way, but as he was turning he stopped and looked ahead at an approaching figure. "Uh-oh..."

Bango looked where he was looking and gulped.
