Chapter VI
Timon and Pumbaa were running through the Outlands, trying to catch up with the cubs. This wasn't working out too well, though, for two reasons. One, the two animals were getting to be pretty old, and they didn't have as much energy as the cubs. The other reason was that the Outlands was practically a desert.
"Those hyenas couldn't exile us to the jungle, could they?" Timon panted.
"Of course not!" Pumbaa wheezed. "That would be too nice of them!"
"You know, buddy," Timon told his friend. "Maybe Kimba's idea of going to the Pride Lands isn't bad at all…"
"But they exiled us, Timon!" Pumbaa exclaimed. "We aren't allowed to go back!"
"Hey, there just hyenas!" Timon pointed out. "We can handle them!"
The warthog groaned, and looked ahead of them. He saw that Kimba and Kayla had made it to Rafiki's tree.
"They made it!" Pumbaa gasped. "They're almost home!"
"Come on, Pumbaa!" Timon commanded. "They can't go to the Pride Lands without us!"
Meanwhile, Kimba and Kayla were looking around Rafiki's tree. There were so many interesting things that they all forgot about going to the Pride Lands.
"Wow!" Kimba exclaimed. "Look at all this cool stuff!"
"Hey Kimba!" his twin called. "Come looked at this!"
Kimba looked to the side and saw a painting of two lions in a circle. One was a male, and had a scarlet mane, almost like his grandfather. He didn't think the female was Nala, though. She was in two pictures, though-one with the scarlet lion, and one with a different lion, this one with a brown mane.
What really caught his attention was what Kayla found. Underneath the first painting was a large golden egg. It was very clean and shiny.
"Do you think it's an ostrich egg?" Kimba asked his sister.
"I'm not sure…but we forgot breakfast!" Kayla noticed. "Do you think we should eat it?"
"I don't know, Kayla…" Kimba said slowly. "I mean, what if it isn't an ostrich egg?"
The two cubs stared at each other, and then the egg.
I know, the chapters are really short. They will get longer...eventually.
