The storm subsided quickly. The lion stared at the cub dropped in front of him. She was brown, with a darker brown stripe on her forehead. He too, was this brown color, and was just beginning to grow a scraggly black mane. He tried to pick the cub up, but she was to heavy to carry all the way to his home. He grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and dragged her to a crevice in a boulder. "You'll be safe here. I'll go get my mom," he told her. He ran off in the direction of a large, pointy rock.

A slightly older lion, gold colored with a reddish mane, lay on a stone. "Mufasa! Where's Mom?" the brown one asked.

"She's busy. Why ya ask?" Mufasa replied.

"I need to show you something."

"What now, Taka? Dad's not going to like this, 6th thing you 'found' this week."

"This is important," Taka said.

"What, another of those 'Killer Rabbits'?" Mufasa mocked him, remembering the last time Taka tried to show him something.

"No. It's serious."

"OK, OK, I'm getting up. This better be good..."

"It is." Together the two brothers walked over to the boulder. The cub slept peacefully in the crevice.

"Oh..." Mufasa remarked. "We should get Mom."

"Thought you said she was busy," Taka grumbled.

Queen Uru rested in a cave. She looked up as her two sons walked in. "Hello. Nice to see you two getting along, for once."

"Mom, Taka has a baby," Mufasa blurted out.

"Thanks a lot," Taka said sarcastically.

"You're welcome," Mufasa said, completely ignoring his brothers tone.

"What's going on?" Uru inquired.

"Well, you know that storm earlier today?" Taka started.

"Yes... Uru wanted her son to get to the point.

"Well, there was a lioness, and she had a cub, and the cub's here, in the Pridelands, and the mother, well, she's gone."

"Show me." Uru got up, and Taka took her to the boulder. The cub was still asleep.

"Can we keep it?"

"We'll see." Uru said firmly, picking the baby up. As they walked back to Pride Rock, Taka kept talking about how he was going to be the perfect big brother, and how they were going to be best buds, and stuff like that.

"...and we'll name her... hey, Mom, what are we going to call her?"

"I said: We'll see."'

More notes -Smacks forehead- Mufasa is way OOC in this chapter. :( Sorry, it does get better. I wrote this chapter a few months ago, and -I think- my writing style has gotten better. Someone please read and review! Constructive criticism is welcome!
