The room is silent for a moment, only a white light in shape of a circle is seen until a white wolf enters the room looking slightly annoyed yet angry. He then begins to speak.
Wolf: Hello I am Snowshoe, one of narfgirls muses, the other being Zorro the fox but he's a little too weird when it comes to telling you all about flamers or reviewers for that matter, if many of you read "Surviving the Stampede" you know what I am talking about. That's why he is stuffed in a box at the moment in narfgirls closet, don't worry he has a Zazu pin from Disney world to keep him happy. Any way as many of you are aware we have a stuck up flamer in our midst's, his name is Troy Wong or something to that nature, please pay no heed to him. He thinks he is better than everyone else and personally people who think they are better than everyone else are usually the ones who have no life and just want attention. Plus he thinks we are all children because we cannot write the way he writes, then what is he? He's only 11, that's a child's age. If he was a wolf he would be a two year old and still be reprimanded by his mother and father, probably the lowest of the pack too, eating last and trying to get attention, I know I would do that to him, since I was an alpha of my pack and I did not take kindly to those who thought they were better than others. Whoever told him he was an adult was just humoring him. So please when he reviews either tell him to F off or report him to administration if he continues the way he is acting.
Zorro: Snowshoe made a swear!
Snowshoe: I thought I banished you to the box in the closet. And I did not swear I said F which is totally different to the word.
Zorro: Oh well close enough, but I got out because the box was too small and I exploded inside of it.
Snowshoe: Um okay then. Now leave please so I can finish my ultimatum.
Zorro: Ultimate tomato! Where?
Snowshoe: (Slaps head) Ultimatum, it means to deliver a report.
Zorro: Oh pooey I wanted a tomato.
Snowshoe: Any way in short, this is for you Troy Wong. (Holds up middle claw)
Zorro: I would do that but I lost my middle claw in a terrible accident to a trap. It's an interesting story really it happened in the winter of 99 or was it 2000? I forget which but any way. I was wandering around with my friend Scruffy when…..
Snowshoe: (covers Zorro's mouth) Now that I got that out of my system enjoy the chapter.
Chapter starts while you hear Zorro trying to talk in the background.
The months went by and like I had said the pride lands flourished once again. Simba's new role as king began to show once he handled all the problems that happened and the creatures of the pride lands respected their new king almost like they did Mufasa. I of course knew that Simba would never be like Mufasa but I would never tell him that, I did not want to hurt his feelings, he was already getting bad treatment like that from Zira who taunted him every day while Nuka tried to get attention from her but failed miserably.
I felt terrible for that poor cub; he did not deserve a mother like that. He was so scraggly and he never seemed to have the right weight in himself to be a healthy cub. What was worse was that Zira left him alone all the time while he wandered around by himself always looking for someone to play with, even Sarabi who would often try to take care of him behind Zira's back.
Of course Nuka would not be alone for long, Nala was expecting, a new heir to the pride would be born soon. I would often find the two lying together in the grass enjoying the morning sun, Nala's stomach bulged and sometimes I thought I saw something kick insider her. They always looked so peaceful.
"Don't they look happy together?" I remember asking Binti one morning after having a wonderful breakfast together. She was becoming less shy and enjoyed talking to me all the time, yet she never told me about her past. I was okay with that, she would probably tell me eventually, I just had to give her time.
"Yeah, he has a big burden talking care of the kingdom but just wait when the child is born, it will be an even bigger burden," said Binti.
"Yeah but it will be worth it, the child will grow and know all the things it needs to know and maybe one day it will be ruler of this land," I said.
"Yeah it will be fun watching the child grow as well," said Binti.
I only nodded and watched them; Simba jumped upright for a second and looked around. All was quiet in the savannah so he gave a huge yawn and plopped back down next to Nala. It made me wonder what it would be like to be expecting, too bad Binti did not seem to be interested in that kind of thing, but I decided to find out.
"Not to sound personal or anything but would you ever want children?" I asked.
Binti stared at me then gave a small smirk before replying. "Hmm maybe, of course I would not be able to do much seeing as how I would take care of them every day and make sure they make it through life okay. The pain would be too much though if I probably lost one, that happened to my mother when I lost three of my siblings," said Binti.
"Oh my, what happened?" I asked.
"One was sick from the start so he only lived for about two days, another fell out of the nest and died on impact, the other was killed by a cheetah after we were playing together, we weren't paying attention," said Binti.
"I'm sorry," I said.
"It's okay, its part of that circle of life," said Binti.
I smiled at her. I had brought her to meet Rafiki a few weeks ago. They both had a private talk about her past, she promised she would tell me one day but I knew it was best for her to take her time, we both did not know everything about each other. I knew Rafiki gave her the lecture about the circle of life.
I then stretched my wings and then fluffed my feathers before I finally decided to go about my morning routine.
"Well I guess I am off for the day, take care now and I will see you later," I said.
"See you later," was all she said.
I then flew off to inspect the land. Like always though I looked behind me to see what Binti was doing, she was still watching me from the tree, she did that often. I could tell she was also in love but like me was too afraid to ask the question of becoming mates. It was just not the right moment yet.
Like clockwork though Simba and Nala's cub was born. It was a male who they named Kopa. And like many heirs to the throne he was introduced to the pride lands by Rafiki the day after he was born. Creatures from all over came to see the ceremony that only lasted a few minutes. But that did not matter, seeing a new heir that would one day take over the pride lands was good because then you would see him grow over the months.
But they did not see Kopa grow as much as I did. As soon as he learned to run, that was what he was doing most of the time. Having adventures here and there, sometimes with Timon and Pumbaa, sometimes with Nuka, sometimes with Sarabi, or sometimes just by himself. I was amazed at how calm Simba was when Kopa was off on his own and would often tell me to just use Hakuna Matata because he would be home sooner or later.
He usually got into the most trouble when Timon and Pumbaa were around. I remember one day he came home ready to show Simba his new trick Pumbaa taught him. Let's just say the cave was quite smelly for a few hours after that fiasco. I was surprised Simba did not discipline him though; he would only laugh and say that boys would be boys.
Kopa loved Sarabi though but that was because Sarabi always gave him special treats when Simba was not looking, something grandmothers love to do. Usually it was a mouse sometimes a lizard which he would then paw at and then pull at the tail until it snapped off. I was so glad that lizards could grow their tails back.
When Kopa was with Nuka though it was quite different, they seemed to fight more than anything else but that was because Nuka was older than Kopa and felt that he could boss the little guy around.
I remember having to break up one argument one day because it was actually getting quite violent. I found the two near pride rock, biting each other and kicking up dust. It almost looked like a dust devil had come in.
I quickly flew down and stopped them by yelling both of their names and both of them looked up at me, dirty and scratched in several places.
"He started it," said Kopa.
"Did not," said Nuka.
"Did too," said Kopa.
"Did not," said Nuka.
"Enough!" I yelled. Both shut up while I began to speak.
"Now what will your parents say when they saw you like this?" I asked.
"Uh well I bet dad will just say, 'good show son, that shows you will be a tough lion when you grow up'" said Kopa who tried to sound the best he could like Simba, but of course that did not work.
I just shook my head, Simba really needed to reprimand him sometimes.
"Well my mother would not care what I did," said Nuka who puffed out his chest like it was the greatest thing in the world
"And for that I am truly sorry, no wonder you are so scrawny," I said.
Nuka looked at himself and then looked confusingly at me. "Why's that?" he asked.
"Because your mother never cares for you, when was the last time you had a bath from her?" I asked.
"Uh about a week ago, she told me my hair clumps too much to give me a bath," said Nuka.
"Well maybe if she did clean you more than she did that would not happen," I said.
"Hey baths aren't that great any way," said Kopa.
"Yeah so there Mr. Stinkybeak," said Nuka who then stuck his tongue out at me.
Kopa laughed, I just held my ground. I would try to reprimand them but I was not their father so they would not listen to me, I already learned that after the Simba and Nala fiasco.
"I can take care of myself any ways and when I grow up I will be the advisor to my brother and you will be eaten," said Nuka.
I stood my ground, they were harsh words from a cub but of course he got that from his mother who probably told him. I was told by Simba that Zira seemed to be fatter than usual; she was probably pregnant now, probably from a rogue that passed here a few months ago.
"Ha ha I could see it now, Zazu on a stick," said Kopa.
"No it will be more like Zazu flambé," said Nuka.
The two cubs laughed. It was amazing how cubs could forget their differences in a blink of an eye and become friends again. Though for some reason I did not trust Nuka. I told that to Simba but he only dismissed me and said that Nuka was harmless and that the hate from Zira had not shown. I was not too sure about that but I would watch and make sure that Nuka did not do any serious harm on Kopa.
The two then walked away laughing with more ideas on how to cook me. I decided to return to my duties. Hopefully I would be able to talk to Simba about his son and the way he acted, and hopefully something could be done about it.
A/N: Well there's chapter 30, nothing special about it. Just thought it would be nice to meet Nuka and Kopa.It's not that great, its probably bad since that's what my story is.But I will just keep writingjust to give me something to do and see how many more flames I get. Well have a nice week.
