Wow I'm already on chapter 9!

Glad to hear that you all enjoyed the last chapter! Some of you have very dirty minds but I actually was thinking that it could sound like something else was happening while I was writing it tee hee. I thought about changing it then thought; it would be more fun to play with people's minds (and it was!).

Scientist: If you're still reading I shall explain the Uncle Max situation to you. If you watch the movie TLK 1.5, Ma actually says in a part "Where's Uncle Max?" Hence I came to the conclusion that she is his niece. Timon also in a part introduces him as "Uncle Max". I do believe it is actually his great uncle but it is easier to just call him plain "Uncle". Otherwise Max would have to call Timon "great nephew" all the time and I don't think he likes to call Timon "great" anything except maybe a "great mess". In conclusion there has been no interbreeding here

Chapter 9

It was late afternoon in the oasis and Timon and Pumbaa were walking through the meerkat the main area of the meerkat colony. Very few meerkats were about; most likely they were out catching their dinners or looking after the pups.

Timon was still angry about what he had seen earlier that day and as hard as Pumbaa tried to cheer him up it wasn't working. While Timon was walking he had been kicking a pebble around with his foot.

Every now and then Pumbaa heard Timon mumble things such as "Stupid bird" and "turned her against me!"

Finally Timon just yelled out "STUPID JERK!" and with that he kicked the pebble really hard causing it to fly up into the air, and hit a nearby meerkat right in the noggin.

"Ow!" shouted the meerkat.

"Oh no," said Pumbaa and rushed over to help the meerkat back to his feet using his tusks. After the meerkat was back on his feet they saw that it was Max, he looked mad, really mad.

"What are you trying to do, kill me?" he yelled, rubbing his head.

"Sorry," said Timon flatly.

"Even with your tiny brain, you should know better than to kick things around here," continued Max. Then he paused waiting for Timon to retaliate to his insult. When it didn't happen he lifted Timon's head up so he wasn't staring at the ground and was forced to look his Uncle in the eye.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Nothing, everything is just dandy," replied Timon sarcastically while trying to push past and continue his walk.

"Really? I must say you didn't sound like every thing was fine while you were busy biting that birds head off yesterday," said Max before Timon had gotten far.

"What were you doing spying on me!" retorted Timon angrily walking back to up to Max.

"Don't flatter yourself, I wouldn't waste my time spying on you!" said Max poking Timon in the middle, " You were so loud everyone in the oasis could probably hear you."

"Well, sorry for disturbing you!"

"Have you apologised to your Mother yet?"

"He was going to today but then…" began Pumbaa, but Timon quickly jumped in front of him and held his lips shut.

"What's going on here," demanded Max, pulling his nephew off the hog.

"Well," began Pumbaa rubbing his jaw, "Timon realised how silly he acted yesterday, and was going to apologise but then he saw that Ma, and Zazu were covering up the skylight he had made…." All this time Timon was mouthing "shut up" while struggling in Max's grip. "And then..." Pumbaa tried to continue.

"And then he walked off in a hissy fit," finished Max. Then he released Timon nearly pushing him onto the ground.

"Did you happen to notice the rain we had a few night ago, " said Max to Timon.

"Well yeah," began Timon rubbing the arm Max had held him by, "but I don't see what that has to do with them killing my skylight."

Max rolled his eyes then continued in a voice one would use on small children.

"Now what would happen when it rains and you're in an inclosed, while there is a hole in the roof?"

"Oh oh," said Pumbaa excitedly raising his hoof in the air "Pick me, I know, I know!"

"Ummmm," thought Timon, scratching his head.

"Over here, over here," continued Pumbaa, this time jumping up and down.

"It would get a bit wet?" said Timon.

"It would flood!" yelled Max almost ashamed of how long it took Timon to answer such a simple question.

"I knew that, next time let me answer," said Pumbaa finally sitting down.

"So you think that's why..." begun Timon

"Let me use I language I think you might understand," interrupted Max, "well Duh!" he said before starting to walk away.

Just before he was out of sight he glanced back and said, "Now apologise to your mother!"

Timon and Pumbaa stood there a while looking at each other, although strange in his ways Max did have a point.

Timon decided he would have a chat to his Ma later, and he also decided that this was something he would have to do alone. It wouldn't be until later that evening that he gained the courage to talk to her, he knew he had to apologise and she would question his behaviour, but he still had some questions of his own.

It was getting dark by the time Kiara had reached the edge of the oasis; she was very tired and very thirsty. Thankfully she found a small pool of water near the edge from which she could drink, this was the same pool Pumbaa had carried young Simba to after he had collapsed in the desert. When she had drunk to her fill she was surprised to find that she could already faintly detect Zazu's scent. She followed this excitedly and found that only a short way into the oasis were a few of Zazu's feathers (this was where he landed after his fall, but Kiara doesn't know this). This frightened Kiara. The ground around the feathers looked like there had been some kind of struggle, and there was a very faint smell of blood, as if he had been injured there, automatically she thought he had been attacked, by some kind of predator.

She began the horrible task of looking around to see if she could find or smell the remainder of the corpse, but she could not locate one, perhaps it took him away to eat, or feed to its young.

'I'm too late, he's already dead!' thought Kiara.

She just stared at the feathers and then shed a few tears thinking Zazu must have perished. She considered leaving then and there but then she remembered that the oasis was a predator free environment, and if Zazu were attacked by something, what would stop it from coming further in, and finding the meerkats? She had to warn them!

With that she ran at full speed deep into the oasis desperate to warn her friends and the other meerkats hoping that she wasn't too late. What she, as inexperienced huntress failed to notice is that she trod right over Zazu's footprints.

Sorry it's a short one, but I will have many things going on at once in the next scenes so it would be too mush to write all in the one chappy. Hooray I'm only one review away from 50! That's like half way to 100 (wow isn't my math impressive lol). Thankyou all.
