Author's Note: Thanks kates the firework and CSIMentalistTLK lover, yes it was sad and this chapter only gets sadder. The song in this chapter is My Immortal by EVANESCENCE.

As rain poured from the now dark sky, the Pridelanders made may to the burial sight behind Pride Rock. Where two graves have been dug by meerkats and gophers. Rafiki stud on a tall mound as Kiara sat not far weeping on her mate's shoulder. Mufasa and Ahadi sat not far with their heads bowed and tears falling. Nala cried on Kopa's mane as Sala cried with a weeping Mheetu hugging her. Kanala sat while holding a crying princess. Solange has been broken since her brother's death two days ago. Solange and James has been the best of friends. Solange remembered when James stated speaking.

{Flash Back}

"Come on Jai say something" said Solange

Kiara who was lying down with Nala by her side had a wide awake three week old James in her forepaws.

Kiara chuckled and said "Solange, he's not ready yet"

"Sure he is, just watch" the princess exclaimed before looking back at her brother, "Come on, just four words"

Nala chuckled and said "But isn't that your nickname, dear?"

Solange looked up at her aunt and said "Its still my name aunty and he's going to say it. I just know it"

"And how do you know that?" Kiara asked giving her a daughter's head a nuzzle

"Because, I feel it"

Nala and Kiara shared a smile before looking back at Solange who was back at trying to get James to speak.

"Come on Jai, just four words"

James' reddish brown eyes seemed to brighten up as he moved his mouth.

Solange's eyes bright eyes lit up as she said "Look mom! He's going to say something!"

Kiara smiled and said "Sweetie, I wouldn't get my hopes up-"

"So-So"

Solange smiled as she looked at her mother, "You were saying"

"So-So, So-So"

Solange giggled as she jumped around the cave, "He said my name! He said my name! His first words was my name"

Kiara shared a knowing look with her best friend and sister in-law, "We're never hear the end of it" with a light laugh

{End of Flash Back}

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

Your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

"Today we gather here to say goodbye to the brave warrior lioness, Queen Uru and Prince James who was taken for us before he could truly live his life" said Rafiki as be began the royal funereal

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

After saying some goodbyes and spiritual prayers, an bull elephant with a crown of red roses placed the body of Uru in her grave as a elephant calf with a crown of gold roses placed James' in his grave.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

It's been three weeks since the furnial of Uru and James. Since then Ahadi became deathly ill. Rafiki said its not a real illness, but it happens when some loses their love ones from a really long time.

You used to captivate me by your resonating light

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face – it haunts my once pleasant dreams

Your voice – it chased away all the sanity in me

Three weeks later Solange sat once again at the grave sight behind Pride Rock. Ahadi had past away and its taking a toll on the young cub. She had lost three of her best friends in the matter of two months.

{Flash Back}

"Great grandpa Ahadi"

Ahadi laid down under some shady trees when his great granddaughter came over.

"What's wrong, Princess?"

"Some of the cubs been picking on me" cried Solange with her ears pinned against her head

Ahadi looked at his great grand with concern in his old green eyes, "What did they say?"

Tears fell from Solange's blue eyes as she looked at the ground, "They said I was ugly and I'll be the worst queen to ever rule"

Ahadi lifted the sad princess' head, so she would look at him, "Don't pay them no mind, young one. You are beautiful and one day you'll be a wonderful queen, that some day will one day make us all very proud"

Solange sniffed up some tears and said "Really"

Ahadi nodded, "Hmm. Just like your mother"

Solange smiled as she hugged the old lion, "Thanks Great grandpa"

Ahadi licked Solange's head, "Any time, my little princess"

-X-

As Kiara lead some lionesses to a hunt, Solange and Uru sat not far watching. Kiara had just taken down a male wildebeest. Solange gave a sad sigh.

Uru looked down at her great granddaughter, "What's wrong sweetie?"

"I'm just wondering if I'll ever be a good hunteress as mommy"

Uru looked ahead and seen Kiara and the hunting party bring back the kill.

Uru looked back at the princess and said "You know, I asked my mother the same question"

"You did?"

Uru nodded and said "Hmm. She told me that as long as I believed in myself anything I want to happen, will happened"

Solange's eyes brightened up, "Thanks Great grandma Uru"

Solange hugged the old lioness before running off paticing her hunting on a white butterfly.

{End of Flash Back}

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

Solange laid in the cave under Pride Rock. No one seem to have time for her. Her parents are busy with the kingdom more than ever. Since the funerals, they have been slacking their duties. More caous have been made and more mouths are in need to be fed. Not to mention the visits to the neighboring kingdoms.

So the princess went to her private cave where she can weep and shout without being bothered.

-X-

"Dump brother and his stupid pranks"

Ari just came from the cubs hang out, from being embarrass yet again by his older brother, Avan. Avan had tricked Ari to go in the snake pit. Saying if you look into a snake's eyes, it'll grant you amazing strength. But just before the snake could spit it's venom, Kanala came and save him. After hearing his mother's fury, he went back to the hangout to be laughed at. It turns out, Avan saw everything and told the cubs what happened. Ari glared at his brother and left. Deciding that Mheetu is a better playmate.

But as the nine month old cub walked by the cave under Pride Rock he heard crying. Curious got the better of him and he enter the cave.

-X-

"So-So"

Solange sniffed up some tears and said "Leave me alone"

Ari looked down feeling kinda hurt, he had a crush on her since he first met her. He went to leave.

"No, wait! Don't leave"

Ari walked over and sat next to the distressed princess.

"I have been alone for awhile, I need some one"

Ari smiled and brung the creamy golden cub close, "I'm here"

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

Author's Note: So what did you think? Sad? I know. I hope the song fits, I heard the song on Youtube once, it was a Lion King video. On how Sarabi and Simba felt with Mufasa being gone. At least that's how I took the video. Any way! All I'm asking, is that you tell me what did you think of the chapter, moments and the song? Thank you!

Til next time, see ya.
