In the next few minutes while the adult lions and the king and queen talked about their kingdom, Flare and DA walked away quicky and quietly, hoping not to be spotted. DA sat with her fur shining in the bright sunlight. Flare stood in front of her with his mane glowing like flames on a white cloud. They both just looked at each other in slience untill Flare broke it.
"Hi, I'm Flare. But then again, you should know that from my father's request." Flare introduced himself to DA. He had a taste of hate on his tongue when he spook of his father. His tail moved back and forth behind his head.
"Yes, your father had said your name while he showed my mother you. Well, I'm DA. I don't no what D and A stands for but its my name." Da replyed calmly. She licked he paw gracefully as she survayed the dead trees and very shady areas that covered most of the lands. She also didn't see any young cubs or a lioness besides her mother. Where must Flare's mother be? She stopped licking her paw to speak " So how life must be in this pride... Do you ever get loney and where is your mother?"
Flare looked at the ground. Hw noticed the gloom in her comment about the pride "This pride is all about training, no fun or play. There arn't any cubs other then me so it was really loney, but now your here. My moth...my mother was killed today. She was as white as the clouds and so kind to everyone. She tryed to stop my father from training me day and night and so harshly. He clawed me just to punish my mother before he got to her, then h-he... " He stopped as he looked at his scars on his tan legs.
DA rubbed her nose into his fur comfortingly. Her father must be dead if he hadn't come back yet to find them. "I know how you feel. My father is most likely dead. He said he would come find us if...if he lived. He hasn't come yet and the fight was a while ago..."
"Maybe we could get though this together..." Flare looked up at DA. They would be marryed no mather what, so why not enjoy it.
He smiled and she smiled back. He pawed her tail playfully and jumped on her, pinning her to the ground. DA laughed and rolled, over pinning him down. They both laughed and got up. Flare and DA looked at each other and layed down, their flanks tonching. They both layed on there backs untill it got dark and the stars filled the sky. Flare and DA looked at the stars and told each other of the pictures they spotted.
Just then, DA looked up closer and could see a face forming in the stars. She knew the face, she had seen it every day. Her father's face shaped and smiled at her. DA started crying silenty and smiled knowing he was safe in the heavens. Flare smiled beside her as his mother apeared beside DA's father. She seemed extra bright as her special smile grew on her starry chin.
At the same time, DA and Flare turned to see each other and unexpectedly, their lips touched. DA blushed under her fur and Flare smiled longingly.
What a great place to stop, huh?
