Hey readers, got another chapter all ready for you. Thankyou to LadyFfion fo being my first reviewer since I came back. Well, I'll stop wasting your time and get onto the story!

Timon's POV

I'd almost finished showing Kila around the colony. We hadn't seen her sister yet, which I was kind of glad about. I didn't want to deal with that.

"This place is amazing!" Kila said, still completely in shock about the oasis.
"Want to see another amazing place?" I asked
"Yeah I'd-" She was cut off suddenly
"Kila?" A voice called from nearby
"That's Salena. I'd better go now, but I still want to see that amazing place alright?"
"Alright." I agreed, watching her go.

Kila's POV

"Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you!" Salena demanded.
"Sorry. I was just looking around that's all. This place is incredible." I said, not mentioning that I was looking around with Timon.
"Well as long as you weren't with Timon."
"I may have...talked to him." I said, not wanting to tell her the whole truth
"Kila I want you to stay away from him. Now, I'm not going to talk anymore about it, I've got to show you our new homes."
"Homes?" I asked, not sure I'd heard her right.
"Yes. I'm sorry but I wasn't fast enough to get us a place together, but we'll be living right next door to each other."
"That's ok, I know you tried." I said sincerely. Inside I was elated, I didn't think I could stand hearing her going on about Timon every night.
"Well, we really should be going there now, it's getting dark." I looked up at the sky, and noticed she was right. I guess I'd been to busy with Timon to notice.

I followed Salena a short way to a group of huts built out of hardened clay. It might not sound like much, but its a big step up from living underground. There were small openings in the front of each one that accted as doorways. A few had windows in the front of them, others didn't.

The huts were arranged in a large circle, and Salena led me over to one on the far side.

"This one's yours," Salena pointed to one "And that one's mine." She pointed to one next to it.
"Ok, well I think I'll go to sleep now, it's been a long day."
"Goodnight Kila." She said, giving me a quick hug
"Night sis'" I said, returning the hug.

I walked into the hut and found it largely empty. There was a small shelf carved into the far wall near a small bed on the ground. I laid down on it, and was surprised that it was actually quite comfortable. With everything that'd happened that day I fell asleep quickly.

It was early when I woke up, but I decided not to waste any time. I looked outside and saw that there were a lot of others up already. I walked over to Salena's home, and looked inside. To my delight, Salena was still asleep. I didn't want to have to deal with her again.

Now all I had to do was find Timon. That was when I realised I had no idea where he would be. I looked around for him, searched the crowd, and saw him walking right towards me. He hadn't seen me yet, but he was looking around.

"Timon!" I called, grabbing his attention
"Hey, I've been looking for you!" He said
"I noticed. I live just over there." I said, pointing to my home.
"Ready to see that amazing place?" He asked
"Of course."

Timon grinned and led me towards the forest. We walked for a while before the ground started to slope upwards

"Timon where are we going?" I asked
"It's not far."
"You didn't answer my question." I complained, but kept following Timon anyway.

The ground got a lot steeper, and roots and rocks began to cover the path.

"Do you even know where you're going?"
"You think I dragged you all the way out here for fun?"

Before I could answer my foot got caught on a tree root. I tried to pull it free, and succeeded, but I started falling backwards

"TIMON!" I screamed, looking back at the steep drop behind me. I shut my eyes, waiting to hit the ground, but I never did. I opened one eye and looked behind me. I'd stopped falling. I looked up and saw Timon had grabbed my paw and saved me.

"You alright?" He asked, worried
"Yeah, I'm fine. You saved me." I said, still trying to believe it myself.
"Well I wasn't about to let you fall, was I?"
"Guess not."
"We're almost there now."

We kept walking, but Timon didn't let go of my hand. He'd been right though, we were close. We only walked for another few minutes before we stopped.

Thre wasn't anything special about where we'd stopped. It was a small clearing hidden by the trees around it. There was a small pool of water to the side of clearing, and a curtain of vines like the one I'd seen when we first arrived at the oasis.

"Ok, why'd you bring me here? I thought we were going somewhere amazing."
"You haven't seen the view yet." Timon said, moving the vines aside.

I gasped as I saw what was behind the vines. They hid a view of the oasis that was even more amazing than when I'd first seen it. The mountains and waterfall were much closer and we were so high up. I realised we were on top of a cliff, and that beyond the vines was a sheer drop.

"This is incredible! How did you find this place?" I asked, still looking out over the oasis
"It's a long story."
"And I've got a lot of time." I replied, sitting down near the edge of the cliff.
"Alright I'll tell you the story, but I bet you won't believe me."
"Why not?" I asked, curious what could have led Timon here that I wouldn't believe.
"Remember Simba? Well me and Pumbaa raised him right here in the Oasis." Timon explained
"I believe you."
"What? Why?" He asked, shocked.
"Well you are friends with him."
"True. Well anyway, I was trying to find a place to hide from him one day, just a place he couldn't bother me, and found this."
"Does anyone else know about this place?" I asked
"No, I kept it secret. My own place."
"Our place now." I pointed out.

We just sat there for a while, looking over the oasis. Timon slid his arm around my waist, and I let my head rest on his shoulder. I could see the colony far below, and all the other meerkats. It would have been perfect, if I hadn't known that one of those meerkats were Salena, and that she was probably looking for me.

"Timon"
"Yes?" I turned to face him
"Thankyou, for showing me this."

Timon didn't reply, instead he pulled me closer, so close our noses were almost touching. This time I moved forward, putting my lips to his. For a second he didn't react, and I was scared he would reject me, but then he returned the kiss, bringing me even closer. This time Salena wasn't there to pull me away, and when the kiss ended I stayed close to Timon.

I wanted to be with Timon more than anything, but Salena was my sister. I couldn't just betray her, but I knew that she would never listen. Not with everything that'd happened to her. As if he was reading my thoughts, Timon spoke

"Why doesn't your sister like me?"
"It's not just you, it's nearly everyone." I explained sadly, remembering what'd happened when I was a pup
"Yeah but why?"
"I'll make you a deal, since I should go back to Salena now. You show me something else amazing tomorrow and I'll tell you."
"Ok, but if you want to see something really amazing, you've got to wait 'till tomorrow night."
"Alright, let's go back then."

We walked back to the colony, Timon still holding my paw. And for once, I wasn't worried about Salena.
