Disclaimer: See chapter one. In fact, see chapter one for the disclaimer for all the chapters. I don't feel like writing them all for this fic. You all know that TLK belongs to Disney. I guess I'll say that Aldi, Taylor, Vicki, Jacki, Lydia, Uzuri, Samuel, Stan, Suzette, and the King belong to me... Go ahead and use them, just credit me for Aldi, Taylor, Vicki, Jacki, and Lydia. The others really weren't that important... So much for a short disclaimer.

"Good morning, Your Highness!" This call came from many of the commoners. She hadn't yet announced her engagement so she wasn't a majesty yet either.
She immediately went to Taylor's house to make sure it was okay. Taylor was one of her best friends, along with Jacki and Vicki.
"How is your house?" she asked.
"All right," she said. "Timon only broke a window."
"Only?" asked Tatiana.
"Yes, only. You shouldn't worry so much Tatty," said Taylor. "You've got enough on your mind."
"I know," she said.
"Have you made your decision yet?" asked Taylor.
"I am considering Aldi," said Tatiana.
"Ohh, he's a good one. Of course, so is Uzuri."
"No way!" she said. "I thought he was hooking up with Vicki anyways."
"No, but it wouldn't matter if he was. You could take him. After all, your job to the colony comes before friends."
"This is the part of princess I could live without. I hate people knowing that I am getting married only to produce kits and carry on the monarchy! I mean, how come that stuff can not be private, like it is for you guys?" she asked. "It is as much hush-hush for me as it is for you. Only the whole colony knows!"
"I'm sorry," said Taylor. "I shouldn't have brought it up."
"It is all right. I know it is true and you know it is true and the whole colony knows it is true. I am the only one who wishes it were not true. Everyone else is happy."
"It's okay," said Taylor. "It's okay." She tried hard to console her sad friend.
"I am sorry. I should not have been crying here. That should have been done at home," said Tatiana.
"It's all right," she said. "Hey, you wanna go mallin' with me, Jacki, & Vicki?"
"I would have to ask my father, but if he has no objections, then certainly!" she said.
"Great!" she said. "We'll meet you there in an hour, kay?"
"Okay," said Tatiana.
She hurried home to her father to ask his permission.
"Have you made you decision?" he asked.
"Not yet," she admitted.
"You must decide soon Tatiana! If you do not, the whole colony could be in jeopardy!" He sounded like the idea of her getting married was killing him, but Tatiana just thought he was saying that to annoy her.
"Could I please just go to the mall for a few hours and then decide later?" begged Tatiana.
Her father sighed. "One hour, then report back to me!"
"Thank you father!" she cried.
"But," he said. "If you do decide on Aldi, do make sure to ask if it is all right with him first, understand?"
"Okay father," she said, darting out.
When the four girls were at the mall, they saw three guys too. Not hanging out together, of course, but separately.
They were, Aldi, Uzuri, and Timon. Aldi was first.
"Hey Aldi," said Tatiana.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"I need to ask you something," she said.
"Ask away."
"Well, my father has told me that it was time for me to become married, and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to…"
"I accept!" he said too loudly. There were quite a few cheers, except from one kat.
"Thank you," she said.
"When's the wedding?" he asked.
"On the next full moon," she said.
"Great!" he said, and walked off as if nothing had happened.
Then they ran into Uzuri… He was weird. They pretended not to notice them. It didn't work.
"Vicki!" he called.
"Yeah?" she asked, turning slowly.
"I just wanted to tell you hi!" he said. The three sighed and left. Then they came across Timon. He looked like a normal kat, but that was far from true.
"Ignore him," whispered Vicki. Tatiana didn't seem to hear. She walked right up to him.
"Timon, there is something I must tell you," she said.
"What?" he asked.
"Every night, in my dreams, I see you… I feel you," she said.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Haven't you seen Titanic?" she cried. Without saying anything else, she gave him a big kiss, right there in the mall…

HAHA, that was a stupid cliffhanger, but I had to separate it somehow... Yeah, I'm really sorry about all this... I'm regretting posting it in the first place because now that I read it again, I really don't like it anymore. I'll probably end up disappointing some of you... I know that I'm disappointed over it, and I wrote it!
