Happy New Year's everyone! Before I get into the chapter, I want to put out that this is a older/younger relationship story. No Luis and Sherise will not be together now, as Sherise's just a cub.

Now, to next chapter of Delicate. Enjoy.

A pair green eyes glowed from the darkness of the den. As they moved further towards their target, a sleeping princess. But before they could pounce, Princess Sherise opened her eyes and snapped them towards her suppose attacker.

"Don't even think about it!"

The attacker came out of hiding to reveal themself as Prince Amell. "How'd you know it was me?" the dark beige cub asked with confused green eyes.

Sherise sat up and looked at her brother with a knowing smile. "You are tipitcal. Plus you're breathing heavy."

Amell frowned. "No fair."

Sherise giggled before tapping Amell's shoulder before running off. "Try and catch me!"

"Hey!" Amell playfully growled before running after his sister.

As soon as the siblings hit the savannah the game of tag turned into a race. The cubs were so into racing, enjoying the breeze through their furs when they didn't notice a whitish beige lioness just a bit in their paths.

Amell noticed just in time but Sherise noticed a bit too late causing the dark brown princess to slide into the stranger who stuck out a paw and caught the shaken cub.

...

Quite nearby Luis was doing a patrol with Simba, Kion and year old Kiran who had a reddish mane growing.

As the patrol went on, Luis was insanely quiet. It's been a few weeks since he had that dream and he really couldn't stop thinking about it.

A nudge to his shoulder caused the creamy white lion to shake his head before looking into the brown eyes of the golden yellow, reddish mane prince.

"Sorry, did you say something?"

Kion glanced at the other males before looking back at Luis. "You been deep in thought since we left Mbail fields."

"Is there something wrong, son?" Simba asked stepping up with concerned orange eyes.

"I actually have to talk you about something," with a deep breath Luis went on. "I could really use your help...all of you."

Kiran was the first to speak noticing that his friend wanted this to quickly be put to past. "What did you need?"

Luis inhaled and exhaled before turning away and speaking loud enough for the males to hear. "I have been..." Luis paused to toss around some loose dirt before turning to face the three males. "I have been having some intense dreams lately."

Kiran chuckled before apporching his creamy white furred friend and wrapping a paw around the older lion's shoulder. "Intense, huh? What's it about? Some action behind some bushes?"

Kion sneered sternly before slapping his son on the back of his head. "Enough, Kiran. Clearly this is serious."

Simba nodded in agreement. "What actually happened in these dreams?"

Luis' mind instantly went to the dreams and a smile spread across his pale muzzle. "Two has been the same. With a...beautiful lioness and most gorgeous eyes...her smile...makes me melt." hearing a clearing of a throat, Luis lowered his head bashfully. "Um...the other one was with the same lioness and a cub.."

Simba instantly spoke up. "You are at that stage where you want...have needs from a lioness. And frankly some of those needs leads to a new life. The only thing is, have you found the one?"

Luis was thinking on the answer. And honestly, he already knew. No. No, he didn't find the one he wanted to go that far with.

Before Luis could answer Ono flew over in a frantic.

"Guard! There's a rogue in the Pridelands! She was spotted by Sherise and Amell. The two are back at priderock but Queen Kiara wants you to take care of the rogue."

The four lions quickly followed Ono to the watering who where they saw Mheetu and Vitani standing guard near a whitish beige lioness with a yellow blonde tuff on her head.

"Who are you and what where your intentions with my grandchildren?" Simba growled.

The lioness bowed. "My name's Aisha. I mean no harm to the future queen and her brother. I am here to seek a home. The king of Ravenfall wanted me to bare him a cub, the queen being jealous of sharing exiled me."

Luis looked at the creamy white furred lioness. She was indeed truly beautiful but no beauty could mester up to the lioness in his dreams. "Perhaps, we should head back.."

After all, he was supposed to be taking Sherise on patrol. He didn't like to disappoint, it absolutely broke his heart to see her upset.
