The four all woke up at about the same time. Sarabi once again went off to find food, and Sariska went off to find a river, leaving Sarafina and Keiro alone.

Keiro shook his mane, getting rid of all the grass particles tangled inside. And then for a while they sat in silence, until Sarafina broke it.

"When we find the place we're looking for…what if we don't have enough lions/lionesses to make the pride?" She asked, worried.

Keiro grinned. "I think we'll find some. I found a pack of wandering lionesses a few days ago."

Sarafina smiled at him. "Keiro you are our hero!" She rubbed against his neck. Keiro smiled again.

"We'll just have to find them," he said, as Sariska and Sarabi came back. Sarabi seemed tired and frustrated. Sariska seemed satisfied.

"It was hard, but I got something," Sarabi said, dropping a dead vulture. "There's not much food around here."
Keiro, Sarafina, and Sarabi each took their shares, and then Keiro spoke up. "We have to find those lionesses."

"Where were they?" Sarafina asked, hoping that they were nearby. Keiro thought for a minute, and then replied. "They were in an area with a big tree and a big rock," he said. "I asked them what they were doing and they said they were trying to find their way back home."

Sariska grinned, satisfied. This would be good, she thought.

They continued after breakfast, but were having trouble finding the lionesses. But they did find someone else.

A gorilla was wandering about, appearing to be looking for something. Sariska approached it.

"Are you looking for something?" She squawked. The gorilla seemed startled, even a little bit scared. Sariska looked at it and noticed it was looking at the lions.

"Oh don't be scared. They won't hurt ya!" Sariska said, putting a wing on the gorilla's shoulder. The gorilla finally spoke.

"I'm looking for a home," he said quietly. He was a young gorilla, still a little shy. But old enough to leave his parents.

"Come with us! We're going to make our own pride." Sariska said, silently hoping the gorilla would join.

"I guess so," he said. "Who are all of you?"

"I'm Sariska, and this is Sarafina, Sarabi, and Keiro."

Sarabi sighed. The introductions were getting kind of repetitive. Only Sariska would never get bored of such a thing.

"I'm Greiskin," he said, then muttered, "Don't laugh."

Only Sariska heard him. "I won't. Now come on!"

The four…now five trudged on, still looking for the lionesses. Greiskin seemed shy of everyone, and was kind of drifting away from the group. But Sariska…good old Sariska, kept a close eye on him.

Greiskin was very, very, clumsy. That was easy to see, considering the fact that he tripped over the tiniest things, like rocks. And it was Greiskin who almost got everyone killed.

The five were walking through the grass, quietly, hoping not to disturb the sleeping pack of rhinos nearby. Greiskin was doing his best, but he tumbled over a rock and fell flat on his face, with a nice loud "Ow."

One of the rhinos, probably the leader, woke up and stomped his foot, waking the other rhinos. Angrily, they began to charge at the five. Greiskin leaped onto Keiro's back, knowing that Keiro was probably much faster than him. Sariska flew up high above the rhinos, and yelled instructions down to her friends. The three lions, who were the fastest out of all the land animals there, ran for their lives, as Sariska guided them. "Left! Right! Split!" The lions were feeling awfully tense, but managed to follow Sariska's orders.

Sarafina was running as fast as she could, but one of the rhinos stomped on the tip of her tail, but fortunately, Sarafina managed to get away before he could do anymore damage. Greiskin almost fell off Keiro's back, but Keiro managed to keep the little guy on. Sarabi almost ran into a tree.

But finally, they got away. It showed what great friends they were, to stick together like that. It made everyone feel better about each other, including Greiskin.
