Chapter 16 is here! 16 is my lucky number actually and that makes you all very lucky! Why? Because this is over twice as long as all my other chapters! Thank you to my reviewers but I am sad to say that one of reviewers mysteriously disappeared. I tried to make this chapter a little funnier to make up for last chapter. And yes I did steal this chapter's title from a Clique book.

*Lauren*

I stretched out my arms and yawned before slowly opening my eyes and coming face to face with the most terrible creature in all the worlds-Riku. I gasped and my eyes widened. Riku just smirked. Then I remembered what Fury and I had decided. While I had been unconscious Fury and I had one of those special little mental conversations just like we had back on Destiny Islands. Our decision echoed in my head:

Be his friend?

Think about it- if the moodiest guy in existence starts to accept us and get along with us then so will everyone else!

But I don't really care if we are accepted or not….

You can finally stop sharing a body with me 24/7

Riku = new best friend! Got it!

That's what I thought

Be his friend. Ah the real Mission Impossible. Cue the theme song because I'm going in!

"Hey there room mate. Do you have anything better to do than stare at me until I wake up?" yeah this is gonna go well.

"Actually no. I'm supposed to wait until you wake up before I can leave so good-bye." Riku said, giving me an unenthusiastic wave before heading to the door.

"Wait I love you!" I yelled, then Riku gasped, fell over, and I think fainted.

"What the hell?! Don't you remember me?! I'm Riku! The guy you hate more than anything?!" Riku said getting about an inch away from my face and screaming.

"I know that your Riku stupid."

"Well then if you love me I should probably move my face away from yours." He said, backing up. I just rolled my eyes.

"I just wanted to get your attention dumbass! I'd sooner confess my love to Namine or Tidus or some other random person."

"Why the hell do you want my attention?" Riku asked, raising one eyebrow and crossing his arms over his chest, leaning back against the wall of our room. Subject change time!

"Isn't there something you're supposed to do before you leave?" I asked him accusingly, nodding towards the little white intercom box that was built into the side of our room. He sighed and walked over to the little white box before pressing the red button which would play his voice down in the control room.

"Lauren's awake" he said unhappily. "Unfortunately" he added, glaring at me. I smiled back and waved. "And she's suffering from brain damage" I frowned at that little comment.

"Lauren's awake?! We will be right down!!!" Kairi's voice screamed into the intercom, causing Riku to gasp and move his head away from the intercom.

"Inside voice please Kairi, we don't need the worlds we are passing to hear you" Riku said patiently into the intercom. Oh right. We are on the gummi ship! Headed….? WHOA WAIT KAIRI IS AWAKE?!

"Kairi's awake?!" I shouted

"A little slow on the reactions aren't you? Yeah Kairi's fine now. She does have a scar but it's not really all that noticeable. She has no fever and healthy beating heart" Riku said with warmth in his voice that was unfamiliar to me. I sighed, Healthy beating heart….

"What's your problem? Oh wait I know- your bi-polar aren't you?" I gave Riku a wtf look and shook my head.

"Then what's the issue?" he said, walking over to my bedside and sitting down on the ground, resting his head on his arms.

"Since when do you care?"

"Well considering that I almost killed you I should probably try to make it up to you." Hmm making Riku my friend may not be as hard as I had thought it would be. I responded to his statement by picking up his right hand and curling all of his fingers into the palm of his hand except for his index and middle finger. Then I gently placed the two fingers over my heart.

Close your eyes and listen.

Riku obediently closed his eyes and listened to the rhythm of my heart. B-bmp B-bmp….B-bmp B-bmp… B-bmp. Riku opened his eyes and looked up at me.

"Every third beat is slower." I nodded.

"So when I said healthy beating heart you thought of yours?" I nodded again.

"Are you going to die of heart issues?" I was flattered by the fact that he didn't sound hopeful.

"Maybe I already died" I said softly, releasing Riku's hand.

Ok that's giving away enough!

Alright whatever you say Ms. Murder.

Riku stood up and shook his head, like the conversation that had just happened had completely confused him. It probably had. Then Kairi…and Sora….and Selphie…and Tidus….and well pretty much everyone burst through the door into our room. I was immediately embraced by Namine and Selphie but everyone else mainly hung back. I noticed that Sora was standing ever so slightly in front of Kairi, shielding her from me. I held my hand out to Kairi and I saw both her and Sora's eyes widen. Kairi stepped forward but she didn't take my hand.

"Alrighty then Selphie can you help me up?" everyone laughed at the misunderstanding and Selphie help me stand up. I caught a reflection of my self in the mirror that hung directly across the room from me and was surprised by the fact that I actually looked pretty good. No bed head or anything.

"Kairi I am sorry for what I did to you. It wasn't on purpose. I'm glad you feeling better" I said, looking her straight in the eyes. Everyone was immediately silent, waiting on Kairi's decision of whether to forgive me or not. She smiled

"I'm a pretty forgiving person" she said and everyone came forward to talk to me and ask me how I was feeling. It was almost as if Kairi's forgiveness had destroyed the invisible barrier between me and everyone else. I was their friend now; I was part of the group.

"The Pride lands huh? What the hell is that?" I asked Riku as we both lay in our own beds that night. Our beds were side by side with maybe a foot or two in between. Riku sighed and sat up to face me. I had my hands behind my head and was lying on top of the sheets, eyes wide open

"I want to go to sleep. Shut up and let me!" He said and I did my best to focus on his face and not his shirtless 6 pack.

Sometimes being a girl is incredibly annoying.

Especially when half the girl wants to throw up at the same thing the other half of the girl is obsessed with!

Obsessed? Don't you think that's a bit har-?

No.

"I have no idea what the Pride lands is. I asked Sora and he just got this weird look in his eye and said 'you'll see'"

"So Sora has a little surprise in store for us huh?"

"Looks like it"

"Awesome"

"Zzzzzzz"

"That only represents sleeping if you're reading a book stupid"

I am asleep!

Whatever. You're so lazy it's not even funny!

Coming from the girl who NEVER sleeps, I suppose you just wouldn't understand.

……………..

Am I alone here? Hellooooo? Bitchy Roommate you must answer me. Ah screw it.

I heard Riku sit up to look over at me. What he saw was me pretending to be asleep.

"Whatever. Good night"

"Night" I said before sliding out of my bed and crossing the room soundlessly and opened the door up as little as I could to slip out. I was halfway through the door when the light from the hallway hit Riku in the face. He opened one eye and groaned.

"Where are you going?" he whined, obviously exhausted

"I'm going to the training room" I replied, mocking his whiney attitude and voice. He sighed before getting out of bed, putting on a shirt (much to my relief) and heading over to the door where I was standing.

"What are you doing?" I asked him, pointing a finger at his chest. How the hell is he so freaking tall?! I don't like being looked down on!

"I'm going with you"

"Riku I'd sooner devote myself to helping Kairi find the 'perfect prom dress' than I would try to figure out how your strange mind works. One minute you want me to shut the hell up so you can sleep and the next you want to come and train with me for a couple hours in the middle of the night. Did you fall on your head while I was unconscious?"

"No I didn't fall on my head." He said with a roll of his eyes, as if that particular piece of knowledge should've been obvious to me. "And if you go and train until like 3:00 in the morning you're just going to wake me up when you come back in so I might as well come with you." Riku said in the same way someone would the say 'the sky is blue'. I did my best not to roll my eyes at Riku's so-called 'logic'. Make friends with the enemy. You can do it. Except for in the mornings when you're trying to get to the shower first. If he gets in your way that bastard is going down!!! I don't give very good friendship talks….

I headed down the hall without another word with Riku following close behind me. After a couple turns we made it to the training room. We both headed over to the virtual heartless area which was a large glass box with a control panel right outside so you could set your level of difficulty and maybe pick what specific kinds of heartless that you would like to fight.

"It's like a giant video-game" Riku said as we stepped into the large fighting area.

"Ready to get your ass kicked?"

"We are going to fight heartless. Not each other…"

"It was rhetorical question" After a thoroughly awkward, awkward silence the virtual heartless took pity on us and began appearing. We both summoned up our blades and prepared for the heartless as they appeared…one by one? A heartless appeared in front of Riku and just stood there until he killed it, then another appeared. The heartless would only appear one at a time and no others would appear until the one before it was killed.

"This is so boring!" Riku yelled and viciously decapitated a virtual heartless, causing it to fade into virtual darkness. He stormed out of the BGB (big glass box) and walked over to the control panel which also came with a small microphone. He tapped it experimentally and a high pitched sound shrieked through the BGB. I covered my ears and screamed

"STOP TAPPING THE MICROPHONE!" Riku grinned and lifted his index finger of the microphone. I stood up and took my hands off of my ears.

"Thank you. Hey can you even hear me?" I asked, after all there was a thick glass wall in between us. Riku nodded before tapping the microphone again which caused a short blast of the evil sound to rip through the BGB.

"Hear this bastard!" I yelled before giving him a rude hand gesture. Riku put his mouth up to the microphone.

"If you yell into that thing I swear Riku I will shave your hair off in the middle of the night and burn it!" Riku closed his mouth, his ingenious plan foiled.

"That was rude" he said, having his voice echo throughout the BGB. It was actually pretty disorienting. "Just for that I'm setting this thing on its hardest level. I grinned and back flipped to show my excitement. "Never mind" I shot him another rude hand gesture. Riku sighed loudly into the microphone which also hurt my ears before coming back into the BGB.

"Now what smart one?" I asked him sarcastically.

"The thing had a password so I couldn't have changed the level even if I had wanted to." He said unhappily before heading over to a stationary virtual heartless, his hands in his pockets. The heartless looked at him with his yellow eyes. I smiled

"Aw he's so cute" I said, sitting down with my knees underneath me. I patted the ground in front of me.

"Come here little guy!"

"Only you would attempt to train a shadow heartless as your pet" Riku said with a shake of his head. I frowned at him. "Whatever though. Say good bye to Little Shadow" Riku said before summoning up his blade. Just before he could hit Little Shadow (as he had named him) I shot a fire spell at him which blasted him across the room and into a wall.

"Ow." He said flatly before slowly getting off the ground. I sat down next to Little Shadow and rubbed his head. I smiled happily when he looked at me.

"Isn't he so cute Riku?! He's my pet and he shall be mine forever!" I declared, and then my adorable little pet decided to scratch me with his razor-sharp heartless claws.

"Forever's up" I said emotionlessly before slashing the Oblivion through Little Shadow.

"I would love to see how you would react to having a dog…well actually you would probably kill the dog so I take that back" Riku said and I tried not to gasp. Riku just used the 'L' word! I was more surprised than anything else. That he would actually say the word 'love' while talking to me. Heaven forbid he ever actually says that he loves me. That would be bad. Then another heartless appeared and our conversation was over. With one glance at each other we knew- this was war.

Riku took off sprinting towards the single heartless and I charged after him. Once I was directly behind him I timed it out so when his right foot was bent so the heel was pointing up I jumped, using his heel as a little step and landed on his shoulder which threw him off balance. As he fell I jumped again, as high into the air as I could go and then threw my keyblade down, hitting Little Shadow's cousin dead on.

"2-0" I said to him once I landed.

"First to 100 wins" he growled at me while I gasped in mock surprise.

"But what about you're beauty sleep?! Just from looking at you I can tell that you need it." Riku opened his mouth to say something else but another heartless appeared and we were off running again.

I woke up, realizing the nice relaxing morning that consisted of me kicking Riku's ass and getting to the bathroom first was no longer a possibility. A cold dark sensation swept over me and I immediately recognized the feeling. Just being in their presence gave you goose bumps but this was something else entirely. I could practically taste the terror they gave and the darkness they owned. I got out of my bed and sprinted to the control room. Once I got there I practically slammed my face against the glass wall at the front of the ship which showed everything in front off us. I didn't see a thing. I leaned back and blinked, confused. But it was here. It had to be, either that or I was going insane. My eyes turned red and I gasped at what I saw. It was like a giant hole, dark and endless. It was a giant tear in the very fabric of space and it went down impossibly deep. It sucked up anything that got too close to it like a black hole. I looked at the world that I assumed was the Pride lands. No way. We can't land. We would be way to close. How do I talk myself out of this one?! Just then Sora came in.

"Hey Lauren. What are you looking at?" he asked, coming up beside me and carefully scanning the area. I quickly turned my eyes blue again.

"Is that the Pride lands?" I asked, beginning to get an idea. Sora nodded before pointing towards a large brown rock that was visible even from here. The rock was the point closest to the hellhole, as I like to call it. There's no way we can get that close. Oh boy…

"Well that's cool. Anyways I'm gonna go back to my room before Riku takes the shower first. Dude takes forever to get ready."

"Ok. I'll send a message over the intercom when we are about to land" Sora said before heading over to where a map of the Pride lands had been laid out.

"Oh what's that?" I asked, turning around. Then I 'tripped' and fell right onto the controls which made us nosedive straight down towards the side of the Pride lands opposite the hellhole.

This was all a total accident of course.

Oh yes, complete total accident.

I can't believe how close we are going to be.

It's almost awkward

It's definitely dangerous

But that's completely natural.

Are we gonna survive this crash landing?

The ship cost like 5 million munny. We better not die or I'm coming back from the afterlife and suing

I'm sure Hades will let you.

And then I felt something weird happen inside of me, almost like a felt a light go out, or rather, a light come on. Our ship hit the ground hard before I had a chance to react, and the ship disappeared as it does when we reach a world, causing our entire group to tumble out into the Pride lands.

*Namine*

I wearily got to my feet ignoring the strange feeling that I had. Something wasn't right. I looked around for anyone that I recognized. I heard the sounds of people getting to their feet and I could smell my friends but I couldn't see them. Wait a sec, since when can I smell my friends but not see them?! What is going on here?! I looked around at the landscaping and realized how huge this place was! The tree's shot straight up and went up so much higher than any other trees I'd ever seen. I took a step forward and that was when I realized what was wrong-I was standing on all fours! Wow Namine how embarrassing. I lifted my hands off the ground only to fall backwards with a thump. For some reason I couldn't maintain my balance on my legs. I rolled over and stood up on all fours again and looked down at my paws angrily. Wait- paws?! Surely enough I had little white paws. I flexed and little razor sharp claws came out of my paws. I opened my mouth to scream but all that came out was a small roar.

"SORA WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

*Lauren*

I stood up and blinked, trying to figure out what that weird sensation was. Except now I had two weird sensations. Riku stepped out from the bushes and shook his head.

"This place has way too many plants! I can't see where I'm going" he ranted, turning to me. Ok so now I had two strange sensations and the strangest thing I had ever seen before in my life. Before and after I had died. I looked down to see that I had four black paws with blood red claws coming out. Oh that's so effing cool. I am Lauren the murderess lion!!! I let out a snarl and attacked Riku, flipping him backwards.

"Pinned ya!"

"Hey what's your problem?! Besides I wasn't even paying attention" Riku the Wimpy Lion complained. I stuck my tongue out at him before stepping off of him. He stood there for a minute before barreling me over, but I rolled over too, trapping Riku on the ground once again.

"Pinned ya again!"

"This is so messed up"

"No I usually kick your ass at everything. Must I give you a summary of last night in the training room?" I asked, narrowing my eyes to show him I would if I had to.

"No not that! We aren't wearing any clothes" Well that just stops everything. Tell a girl she isn't wearing clothes and she will freak out. I jumped off of Riku and snatched leaf off one of the plants, holding it in front of me.

"Eeewww Riku you perv! Of course you would notice something like that!! Haha oh wait. You aren't wearing clothes either." I said with a grin, at least I wasn't alone on the clothes issue. Sure we were lions and lions didn't wear clothes but it was still incredibly weird to think about walking around like this. Riku looked down at himself and frowned before lying down on the ground laying his head down on his paws so all I could see was his face.

"Well this is awkward" he said. I nodded in agreement before dropping my leaf. Riku closed his eyes and covered his face with his paw.

"I really don't wanna see that" I stomped up to him dramatically and sighed loudly in his face.

"Riku can you at least try to be mature about this?! We are lions and lions don't wear clothes so you're just going to have to deal with it!!" I said with a snarl

"Nice fangs there. I guess Fury decided to show up a little in your appearance too. Oh and the red eyes…and black tail…fur stuff whatever you want to call it" I looked back and surely enough the little tuft of fur on the tip of my tail was black with a red streak through the middle.

"I must be the most badass lion in existence." I said showing off my fangs. Riku stood up and shifted from paw to paw, obviously uncomfortable with his lack of clothing.

"Ok this isn't fair! You are one year older than me Riku! Just one year! So why are you a teenage lion and I'm a little cub?!" Riku smirked and picked my up by the back of my neck.

"Ew let go of me Riku! I don't want you to carry me. This is gross and disturbing and weird! Drop me!"

"We are lions and this is what lions do so just deal with it."

"I will bite you and Fury's venom will kill you. Drop. Me." I opened my mouth and gently pressed my fangs against his shoulder just to prove that I would do it. Riku threw me across the clearing.

"You're way to short. Now try to keep up. Sora and the others are this way" Riku said pointing with his tail. I jumped up and swatted his tail to the ground, trapping it under my paw.

"What are you doing?!"

"Now you are mine to command for you are helpless with out the powers of your tail!" I said giving an evil laugh. Riku bared his teeth at me.

"Mine are scarier!" I bragged before letting Riku's tail go. Riku was maybe two feet above me and his body was white with a small silver mane and aquamarine fur at the end of his tail to match his eyes. His claws were black and deadly. I realized he was so much bigger than I was that I could probably curl up on his back and go to sleep. Not that I would.

"Let's go get the others. So this was Sora's surprise huh?"

"Only Sora would consider the opportunity to walk around with four paws, a tail, and zero clothes a surprise" Riku replied.

"Will you drop the clothes thing already?!"

*Kairi*

I am a lion? Talk about disorienting. I looked around at everyone else and was dazzled by the different colors and sizes that everyone was. Sora was little dark brown lion cub with a spiky brown mane and a spiky little tuft of fur at the end of his tail. He still has the same blue eyes and he was still wearing his crown necklace. His paws and belly was a creamy sort of white. Namine was a petite little blond colored lioness with white paws and a long slender tail but the fur at the end of her tail was full of all different kinds of colors. I guessed that it represented the fact that she was an artist. Roxas was a blond lion too but his fur looked a bit darker and messier than Namine's. He had black and white fur at the end of his tail and his front paws were white and his back paws were black. I wonder if that's because of the rings that he wears… Axel was a bigger lion than the rest of us. He was like a teenage lion! He had a small spiky red man and the rest of his fur was a rusty reddish color. His tail was half green like his eyes and the other half was silver. His paws alternated between green and silver too. Green for his eyes and then silver because….oh because Riku is his Other! Selphie was a chocolate brown lion with yellow paws and yellow fur at the end of her tail. Tidus was a sandy brownish blondish color with a tail and paws that seemed to match the rest of his body at first but once I looked a little closer I realized they were more of a wooden color- like the wooden sword he fought with. And then Wakka was a bright orange lion with a blue and white paws and a blue and white tail to match his blitz ball.

Then Lauren and Riku came out through the bushes. Riku was the same size as Axel and was silver and aquamarine. Lauren was a blond lion with red eyes, red and black paws and tail, and black paws with red claws. It almost looked like she had more Fury in her than Lauren.

"Hey guys!" Lauren said as she stepped up to greet all of us. And then it started to rain.

"I blame this on you" Riku said, looking at Lauren. She growled and tackled Riku and within moments it was a full-on catfight, erm, lion fight. Those two will never get bored of trying to kill each other.

"Come on you guys! We need to head up to pride rock! That's where Simba is and I bet he will let us sleep in his den for the night because it's so huge!" Sora said

"I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Pride rock is the gigantic rock over there that even a blind person could see" Axel said, Sora nodded his head in reply. Roxas and I managed to get Lauren and Riku to separate and then we were off. All of us fell a couple of times other than Sora probably because he was used to it. I had to admit though being a lion was a lot of fun. We got to fight with our blades in our mouths which were kinda neat. And we could run so incredibly fast! Within just a few minutes we were at the entrance to Pride Rock.

*Sora*

I was so incredibly excited to see Simba that I didn't even notice how distraught he was. At least not until Riku picked me up to keep me from running up to Simba.

"Sora just in case you have suddenly gone blind look at your friend- he's really upset about something. I think he's having an argument with that lioness" then almost on cue the lioness shouted right in Simba's face

"You will never be Mufasa!" then she turned and ran into the den, crying. Simba sighed before turning towards us. His eyes widened

"Sora you're here! Um well I'm sure you've probably already noticed that this isn't the best time" Simba said, walking over to us. He was bigger than Riku and I did my best to hide my pleasure when Riku had to look up at him.

"You see, that was my daughter and it seems like she's fallen in love with Scar's chosen son. He was hand-picked by Scar to kill me and I exiled him just a few minutes before you arrived. Now my daughter is furious with me" Simba explained and we all just stood there open-mouthed. Then we all started talking at once.

"Sora you know a king?!"

"You exiled your daughter's true love?!"

"You have a daughter?!"

"Dude how long was I gone?!" I exclaimed. Simba just shook his head miserably.

"It's cold and rainy. Why don't you guys stay here for the night and then we will talk more in the morning" Simba said. I realized he probably wanted to be alone for a little while.

"Ok we did have a long day. A good night's sleep would be nice. But won't we disturb your, um, daughter if we go in there right now?" I asked, nodding towards the den. I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get used to thinking of Simba as a father.

"She will probably sleep in the upper part of the den. It's closer to the rain but it's more secluded. And I'm going to let her have some privacy for now. I'm sure by the morning she will understand that Kovu tried to kill me. And I had no choice but to exile him." So this Kovu is Scar's son…wow I obviously need to come here more often. We all filed into the large den and Simba said good night before heading back out. I ran after him

"Hey King! You need your sleep too!"

"I'm going to go talk to Rafiki. He's staying right down there in that hollow" Simba explain, pointing to the hollow with his tail. I nodded before heading back in. Roxas and Namine were sleeping next to each other with Axel on Roxas' left. Lauren was curled by Axel and he had one paw wrapped around her lazily. Selphie, Tidus and Wakka were all asleep next to each other by the far wall of the den. Everyone was asleep except for Kairi and Riku who must've been waiting for me. I walked over to them and we all curled up together. Kairi was asleep almost immediately and even though Riku wasn't moving I could tell by his eyes that he was still awake. You know, because they were open and all? I however kept rolling over, trying to get comfortable. Something didn't feel right and my heart told me it had to do with this Kovu and Simba's daughter.

"Screw this Sora! If you aren't gonna hold still I'm not staying over here" Riku whispered angrily before getting up and walking closer to the entrance. He sat down angrily, curled up into a little silver ball and closed his eyes. I on the other hand fell over because I had apparently been leaning on Riku without even noticing. I curled up next to Kairi and shut my eyes, annoyed with Riku's overdramaticness. That's not a word is it? No Sora its not.

*Lauren*

I woke up from a nightmare that included my killer and red eyes with a jolt. Then I noticed Axel's paw that was wrapped around me and my eyes narrowed. I picked up his paw with my teeth and dropped it on his face. Then I noticed Riku the Silver Furred Bastard Lion. He was curled up close to the exit of the den and was shivering and trembling in his sleep. I walked up to him quietly and realized the problem. It was still pouring outside and it was freezing and from Riku's position you got a full blast of freezing cold air and were constantly getting hit with drops of cold rain.

"Stupid lion. I figured once you got animal instincts you wouldn't do such stupid stuff. But apparently not. Instead you decided to freeze to death in your sleep" I sighed and shook my head. Riku Riku Riku… but I can't let my new 'friend' freeze to death now can I? No that wouldn't be very good. I gently grabbed the back of his neck with my teeth and pulled him back into the den. I set him down against one of the rock walls and laid down beside him, hoping my body heat would warm him up some. I gently licked his cheek, hoping it would at least calm him down a little bit so he wouldn't be shaking as much. I buried my head in his silver mane, trying to warm him up as much as possible. And then without even planning on it I fell asleep.

"Holy shit, get away from me!" Riku exclaimed, leaping into the air which caused my head to slam down against the rock floor.

"Your welcome for saving your life" I murmured, getting to my feet. The sun was just coming up and the rain had stopped.

"From where I was standing it looked like you were curled up next to me, you were all over me" Riku said with an evil gleam in his eyes. I narrowed my red eyes; if looks could kill Riku was three seconds away from dying.

"Where are you going this?" I asked him cautiously, not sure whether or not I wanted to know the answer.

"If you liked me you could've just said instead of practically sleeping on top of me" Riku said, playfully batting at my cheek. I snarled and leaped forward, grabbing his ear and pulling him to the ground. I put my paw on the side of his face and stuck out my claws just enough so they were poking him but not so much that they pierced the skin.

"Me like you?! I know that you're a very self-centered, very vain person Riku but seriously?! I think that rain froze all your brains cells along with the rest of your body." But Riku refused to have his moment ruined.

"Whatever you say sweetheart. I promise I won't tell anybody if you did ask me out" I growled and swiped my claws over his face, leaving a red trail.

"SWEETHEART?! EXCUSE ME?! I was trying to do you a favor by keeping you from freezing to death! I only slept within a ten foot radius of you because you were freezing to DEATH! You're welcome for saving your freaking life!" Riku growled and lunged at me and then we continued fighting until everyone else was awake.

"Really guys?! Really? You had to start fighting this early" Sora said unhappily, getting up just as Riku pinned me down. I tilted my head backwards to look at Sora.

"Soraaaa Riku's being a self-centered bastard!" I complained in a little kid voice. I kicked Riku in the stomach with my hind legs. Sora just shook his head

"Are they always like this?" Simba asked coming into the den. Everyone nodded

"Sir I have some grievous news to tell you!" a blue bird said, flying into the den.

"What is it Zazoo?" Simba asked, his joking tone gone. Zazoo looked at us nervously, indicating that it was probably something private.

"It's alright Zazoo; you can say it out loud. Sora is the one who convinced me to come back and defeat Scar. I trust him and his friends with even something as serious as you are leading me to believe."

"Well I'm afraid that your daughter, Kiara, has gone missing"

Duh duh duuuuuuh! The longest chapter ever is done. It was 13 pages! That's a pretty big deal to me. So everyone's a lion, Riku is vain, Lauren is being nice to Riku, and Simba's daughter has gone missing. How chaotic! Stayed tuned for the next chapter!! Please review
