(A/N: someone in the comments were kind of confused about Matt's and his Grandpa's age so I updated Nicholas' age so that I don't get anybody weirded out about the age. Thank you, Mew-Star-Mew for helping me on the age part. Now...let's start this chapter with some comedy. XD just a reminder, I don't own It's amore from Dean Martin or any references you may know.)
Chapter 3
(Matt's pov)
I decided to set some things in the trailer to possibly scare some lions in case they were come near my trailer.
If you're thinking I'm going home alone all of sudden, I'm sort of am.
For maybe I don't know. 20 minutes. I see two lions going towards my trailer. One lion with a...beard? Call me crazy but does that lion have a beard? Anyway, he has a chestnut grey fur and red eyes with a scruffy mane and a lioness cub who looked like Zira but younger.
"Are you sure he's here, Vitani? We've been walking for hours." The lion whined.
"Yes, Nuka. Now would you shut up?! Your whining is starting to tick me off." The lioness named Vitani said.
Oh boy...Nothing like a good old brother and sister feud. Sarcasm people...
As they got closer to the trailer, they see me looking through the window. I smirked at them knowing funny this is going to be.
"There he is. Get out of there, you termite, so I can kill you!" The lion named Nuka growls at me.
"Really? That's the best threatening tone you got. Nope...I'll stay right here where I can enjoy the sun."
"Persistent little..."
"Hey. Who's that behind you?" I said with a Mario impersonation while pointing nothing behind them.
They looked behind them and looked at me annoyed.
"Made you look! Made you look!" I said with a chuckle.
I turned on the radio and my favorite song from Dean Martin himself. However I played the instrumental version of the song.
"Ah...my favorite song. Can I sing that song for you?"
They growled at me with anger.
"No? Too bad."
They got angry more and growled even more.
"~When a moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie. That's amore. When an eel lunges out...~and he takes a bite of your snout."
"Eel?" They both said at the same time.
Right on time, I pushed a button from my remote as the Godzilla roar was played in the speaker by the window. This made Nuka and Vitani run for the hills thinking a Eel was a monster. I turned off the speaker and smirked.
"~That's amore.~Get it? A moray eel. Hahahahahahaha! I said de funny. And to the top!"
I changed the song into the vocal version from Dean Martin himself and carelessly started singing again.
(Nicholas' pov)
I went to Matt's trailer and I hear him finish a song called That's Amore. As he finished singing, I tried to open the door but it's locked.
"Matt?! Open the door."
"Be there in a minute."
He opens the door and he has that fake smile of his that tells me that I may be in trouble.
"You okay? Did something happen to you?" I asked with concern in my tone.
"Oh, I'm great. I had a nice chat with some lions who wanted me out of the trailer and play. It was great."
Then his smile quickly turned to a deep frown.
"You are in big trouble, Nicholas Johnson. You better start telling me why one cub and a grown lion were here to kill me."
When Matt says my name like that you know I am in big trouble.
"Lions?"
"Don't play dumb with me. They were two outsiders outside my trailer waiting to kill me. I had to scare them off with the sound of my speaker. Now...TALK!"
I sighed.
"Okay...I'll talk..."
To prevent him from losing his temper, I had to tell him about my history with the Pridelanders and the Outsiders. I told him that Zira wanted him dead just so that I can share same pain as her's.
"So let me get this straight...this Zira wants me dead just so that you can have the same pain as her just because she lost her husband? Wow...That sucks for her." He said with sympathy.
"Don't feel bad for her. She deserved every bit of pain."
Matt glares at me.
"Is that what you really think?"
"Yeah...that's what I-"
"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!"
I was shocked to hear him shout at me like that.
"YOU SAID SO YOURSELF WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER, EVERYBODY DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE! THIS ISN'T SOME TV SHOW WHERE EVERYBODY WANTS THE VILLAIN DEAD! THAT MAKES YOU JUST LIKE THAT PERSON! YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THIS!"
He's right...I remember telling him that people deserve a second chance.
"I-"
"Don't talk to me until you get your mind out of the clouds and learn that your better than this. Until then...don't talk to me."
He slams the door at my face and locks the door. He closes the shades to prevent me from seeing him.
He stayed in his trailer all day and possibly all night. This had do a lot of thinking in my trailer. He can't be serious, right?
I went to check on him on how he's doing and he doesn't respond.
"Matt?"
I checked the door and it was unlocked. I quietly got in the trailer and started looking around.
"Matt?"
I began to panic as there was no sight of Matt. I quickly got out of the trailer and got real worried.
"MATT! WHERE ARE YOU!?"
What is he thinking? Is he trying to get himself killed!? better not be heading to the outsider territory or there's going to be hell to pay.
