Chapter 4:

Like it always does, time made its course through out the months in the pride lands and in Tamu and Bakari's pride. Kiara had grown in to a very curious and inquisitive cub, already getting in trouble for being found playing with an outlander male cub named Kovu. According to Tamu and Bakari Uzoma was the same way, but was more obedient when it came to listening to adults.

"He's not as curious as Kiara seems to be," Tamu had said at one of the get togethers, "but he asks many questions and can be quiet."

"He's shy then?"

Nala inquired as she had taken a bite of the zebra, "Perhaps a little at first, but once he warms up to you he's talkative."

"Do they have to come here, again?"

"Kiara," Nala snapped at her daughter, "That's very rude of you to say. Don't you like playing with Uzoma and Hasana?"

"She always does her own thing," Kiara replied, "Uzoma follows me around every time they come."

"That means he likes you," Nala teased her only child as she smiled.

"They're here," Simba announced as he came in to the cave that Nala and Kiara had been conversing in.

"What do you want to do now?"

"I'm tired of playing tag," Kiara replied to Uzoma's question as she lounged on a rock.

"Yeah," the male agreed as he sighed and looked at Kiara, "Hey Kiara you're a girl."

"Really?"

Kiara asked with her voice laced with sarcasm, "Will you hush and let me finish?"

Uzoma's indignant tone quieted the lioness cub as she looked at him;

"Anyways," he began again, "I don't want to ask my sister this, and I don't want to ask my parents, so I thought that since I don't see you much that I could ask you my question."

Kiara snickered at Uzoma's words as she cut him off, "What, your parents haven't told you where cubs come from?"

"That's not it."

The princess stopped her laughter at the edge in her friend's voice, "Alright, what is it?"

"Well," Uzoma started, "I kind of like this girl in my dad's pride andIwaswonderinghowIcouldgethertonoticeme?"

The cub's words came out rushed and Kiara couldn't comprehend a word that had been hurried out of her friend's mouth.

"Slow down," Kiara held up a paw, "repeat what you just said only slower please."

"How do I get this one lioness to notice me?"

"Awe," Kiara sang, "Uzoma's got a girlfriend, Uzoma's got a girlfriend."

Kiara giggled as she jumped off the rock that she had been lying on and began to run back towards pride rock, all along chanting, "Uzoma's got a girlfriend Uzoma's got a girlfriend!"

"Oh yeah!"

Uzoma yelled back as he ran after her, "Kiara's got a boyfriend Kiara's got a…"

"I do not!"

"Yes you do."

"Do not!"

"Yes you do!"

"Do not!"

"Kooovu," Uzoma laughed at his friend.

"You've got a boyfriend, yes you do!"

"I, do, not," the lioness said through gritted teeth as she pounced on Uzoma and the two began a wrestling match.

Not far off, Simba, Nala and Uzoma's parents were sitting under a tree;

"Oh look," Simba pointed to where his daughter and the other cub were pouncing one another, "I remember when I used to do that with Nala."

At this remark the queen snorted, "Used to, oh sure…"

Glancing over to Tamu she mouthed, "He still does."

"Anyways," Simba loudly said as he hastily wanted to change the subject, "Uzoma likes a lioness from your pride?"

Simba had guessed this from the words that had been exchanged between his daughter and her future husband;

"You know how kids are," Bakari chuckled, "He'll get over it."
