A/N:CSIMentalistTLK lover-I know but I figured to do something different. I'm glad you liked it though. Here's chapter two enjoy!

Changing Tides

The cool breeze blew around the savannah little mix of dust and features dancing in the air. On the side of Pride Rock where some rocks as were Uru, Chole and a light grayish beige lioness. The three lionesses was enjoying the golden rays while watching Sarabi with two lioness cubs. Uru had a small budge in her stomach as little Kiran laid in between his mother's paws.

"Have you thought of names?" asked the light grayish beige lioness her violet purple eyes leaving the scene of the three young lionesses

The golden lioness shook her head while it laid on her arms. "There's so much to choose from"

Chole looked from her now sleeping cub to the queen. "We had alot of names we liked before we decided on Kiran"

The light grayish beige lioness nodded in agreement. "Finding the right name for Vanessa was a little difficult. Since her father didn't like the idea of his cub being named after a bug. But now I'm glad I did"

Uru smiled as she lifted her head up. "I see. That little one loves butterflies" then she moved her amber eyes on Chole. "How did you and Ahadi decide on Kiran"

The orange brown lioness giggled. "We liked how it sounds...because we have no idea what it means"

The three lionesses erupted in laughter before they turned their sights back on the three young lionesses.

-O-

A creamy lioness laid low in the lush green grass. Her blue eyes locked on her target. As she crawled forward she was careful to not to step on any twigs or rocks. She was about to give chase but a something collided with her side. Sending her and whatever or whoever rolling. The creamy cub sits up and looked to her side to see a small brown lioness cub laughing.

"Amani! I was in the middle of a hunt!"

"Sarafina calm down. It's just a game"

The creamy cub glared at the teen. "Hunting is not some game Sarabi!"

Sarabi rolled her eyes. "We're going to the water hole want to come"

Sarafina stood and put her nose in the air. "I'm going to see Kiran"

A creamy grey cub giggled. "I told you she likes him"

Sarabi shook her head before trotting off with the two lioness cubs following. Once on the stone path to the water hole two lioness cubs came running over.

"We was wondering when you would get here" said a dark tan lioness cub

Amani rolled her red eyes. "Sarafina got all hot headed because I ruined her fake hunt"

A pale light golden lioness cub sighed. "Fina is such a drama queen"

The five young lionesses erupted into fits of giggles and laughter. Before another cub joined the group.

"What's so funny?"

The young lionesses looked and seen a creamy golden lion cub with a black mane tuff on his head as well as on his ears.

"Hey Evans" the light pale golden cub beamed

The creamy golden cub casted a smile his friend's way before moving his blue eyes to the other females.

"Just talking about how Sarafina is a drama queen" giggled the dark tan cub

"So are you, Zira"

Everyone looked to see a white cub with a dark grey mane tuff on his head.

The dark tan cub rolled her green eyes. "Shut up, Myota!"

The creamy grey cub groaned causing her friends to look at her. "Can we play before the adults come"

Everyone laughed causing the creamy grey cub to blush.

"Sure Vanessa" smiled Evans before he looked at the other cubs and shouted "Not it" before running off

Everyone laughed and followed after Evans leaving the pale light golden cub to be last. She groaned before running after her friends.
