"Okay guys lets practice for the next show!" Alex announced as everyone set up their equipment. Alex looked around the rehearsing area. He was proud of the circus. The smell of passion everywhere. Or was it rain? Alex looked up and noticed that the sky was covered in gray clouds.

"Wow, guess it might rain," Alex said to himself. He looked back to the circus. He knew if it did rain on them, they would get sick. He couldn't risk that. He had to bring everyone in.

"Um, nevermind! It looks like it'll rain on us so we better head in the train." Alex said. Everyone awed in sadness. They loved rehearsing. It was their life to circus act. But Alex was right. There were already feeling droplets of rain on their fur. Everyone gathered their equipment. Alex looked around for Gia. He found her sitting on a small hill outlooking over the horizon like she didn't know what was going on. Alex, confused as he was, walked up to her. Right when he got close enough, he heard her sob. Alex's eyes widened. He walked up next to her and sat down on the yellow-greenish grass.

"Gia? Are you okay?" He asked her. As she heard his soft, caring words she sobbed again and held her knees to her torso, buring her head between them. Alex didn't know what to do. Should he hug her in comfort? Should he leave her alone? He wanted to hug her. Keep her safe. But he didn't want her mad either. Suddenly, Gia spoke.

"Its my mother's birthday today." She said dully. Her voice was so weak. So unlike her. Alex sat there, wondering what he should do. Then his instincts took over and he pulled Gia onto his lap in a tight embrace. Gia cried into his chest. Alex kissed her head softly then lifted her chin so their eyes would meet. Her eyes were red from the hundreds of tears she cried out. Her face colorless with hopelessness.

"Gia? What happened?" Alex asked. He mentally slapped himself for asking a stupid question. He wanted to take back what he said but it was too late beacuase Gia answered his question.

"She died when I was just a cub." Gia said. She reached to touch her blue sequin necklace, " She gave me this necklace a few days before she died. My father walked out on us and left us under a bridge.(1) Mama said he didnt want to have me. He wanted to kill me the day I was born." She looked into Alex's breathtaking blue eyes. (You have no idea, ^w^) "He almost killed me one day. But Mama stopped him. He attacked her. Mama knew how to defend herself but he just scratched her face and ran away..." She continued. Alex was speechless. Gia dug her claws in Alex's fur almost into his invisible skin. "On my first birthday, Mama took me hunting. I was watching my mother hunt a gazelle when my father was there too. They both tried to attack it but instead attacked eachother. My father dug his claws into my mothers chest and-" Gia choked as she sobbed. Alex held her tightly stroking her ear.

"Shh, its okay Gia. You dont have to tell me what happened. " Alex whispered into her ear. A heart racing chill ran down Gia's body as she felt his breath on her. "But you should know that I'll always be there for you. Nothing will hurt you, nobody messes with the King's Queen and gets away with it," His voice was husky and low for him. It was...whats the word? Manly? Maybe. Sexy? Oh yeah. Gia's heart raced. She looked up at him with big puppy eyes. Alex looked right back at her. He looked down to her soft lips then back to her golden eyes. He loved her. He had told her many times. But none of them was enough. He had to let her know how much he cared for her. Should...I? Should I ask her? Now? Would it be a perfect time? Is it a perfect time? Alex was drowned in thoughts as the real world left him slowly. He was pulled back into reality when he felt something smash into his lips. Gia was fed up with Alex's stare. So, she kissed him. Alex was taken back, but then relaxed and kissed her back. His arms slid around her waist pulling Gia closer to him. Gia circled her arms around Alex's neck and played with his mane. Suddenly they feel their fur getting wet. They separate and look up. Rain slightly poured from the clouds above them soaking the fur on there faces. Alex panicked. He hated getting wet (2) He looked at Gia and found her smiling at the sky, eyes closed, lips slightly parted. Alex stared at her in disbelief. She actually likes rain? Gia giggled and looked at Alex. Her smiled faded as she saw Alex's surprised yet wierd expression.

"Alex, is something wrong?" Gia asked. She looked at him as her ears dropped from being soggy .

"You're enjoying the rain. H-How are you-?." Alex stuttered. Gia giggled.

"Living with a tiger and a sea lion. Really takes effect." Gia replied.

"You know you're gonna have to teach me now, right?" Alex said. A sly smirk spreading across his face.

"Whats to teach?Just...enjoy it." Gia said softly. She got up and ran into the field spinning around with her arms spread out. Alex watched her in awe. He stood up and looked up at the gray sky then back at his girlfriend. Gia laughed as she spun. He smiled at her with half closed eyes. She was so graceful, so fragile, so...innocent. Before he had time to react, Gia grabbed his hands and pulled him onto the field. He smiled nervously at her. Their fur soaking wet. Oh, sugar honey ice tea, Alex thought. Gia looked so beautiful with the raindrops in her fur. He couldn't think straight. He smiled idiotically.

"You-you think Im beautiful?" Gia asked, almost in a whisper. Alex looked down at her in shock.

"I said that out loud, didn't I?" Alex said nervously. Gia's smiled softened into a grimace.

"Is it a bad thing?" Gia asked, trying to hide her concern. Was he trying to hide what he said? Was it just in the heat of the moment? Did he really think she was beautiful?

"What? No! Of course not, Gia! You're gorgeous! When I first saw you back in Monte Carlo, I thought you were the most beautiful creature I've ever seen! Man, if I had a nickel every time I was mesmerized by a feline, I'd had five cents. 'Cause I've only been mesmerized by you, G." Alex said, caressing Gia's wet paw and looking into her eyes lovingly. Gia smiled at him with wonder. "I've never felt so inlove before, Gia." He stood and picked her up. "Never in my life have I been with another feline, well, aside from my family. All the other girls in my pride were fake. Total wannabe's. Trying to hit on me." Gia was now tranced in his words. "None of them had that sparkle in their eyes. None of them had that beat in their hearts. Not like you do. You're amazing. Down to earth. You're perfect. If I lost you..." They were now deeply looking into each others eyes, "I would never forgive myself, not until you'd come back into my arms." Gia was touched by his words. "Vitaly is gonna hate me." He said suddenly. Gia looked at him confusedly. Alex placed her down. He held her cheeks and slowly connected his lips to hers. Gia smiled and kissed him back. But Gia didn't expect what Alex was about to do next. Alex opened his mouth a little then captured Gia's lips again. That was there first make out kiss. Gia didn't know how to react. He kissed her again the same way he did a few seconds ago. Gia's heart raced. She was frozen. She couldn't move. Alex disconnected their lips and looked at her. His expression was confused. But his eyes said he was hurt. Gia blushed fiercely.

"Gia?" Alex said softly. She didn't reply. She looked down. Why didn't she kiss him back? She felt guilty and confused. She knew Alex was hurt. She's have kissed other guys before, but this was different. She was in love. And she knew Alex was in love with her too. But the way he kissed her. She loved it. But she didn't know if she'll do something wrong when she'd kiss him back. She didn't want to embarrass herself nor did she want Alex to stop kissing her. She looked up back at Alex. He was rubbing the back of his neck and wouldn't make eye contact with Gia. She could see tears forming in his eyes. He probably thinks Gia doesn't love him the way he does. What has she done?

"Alex," Gia called him in a whisper. Alex looked at her. His tears were about to pour. Suddenly something came over Gia. She grabbed him by his cheeks and smashed their lips together. Her sub conscious over powered her. She couldn't believe what she was doing, but she enjoyed it. She kissed him the way he kissed her before she broke his heart. Alex was in shock, but then settled and kissed her back. He hugged her tightly, afraid she might leave him.

And here they were, kissing in the rain. People might think this would be the most romantic scene anyone could think of. But does it matter? Does it need to be romantic to enjoy it? Gia and Alex enjoyed every second of it, without realizing that they were still in the rain. Gia dreamed of being kissed in the rain, but that didn't matter anymore. Nothing mattered. She just wanted for this moment to never end. She didn't want their lips to separate as they moved in sinc. Gia's paws slid down from his cheeks to his neck and held him. Gia separated their lips as for the need of air. Alex grinned at her and connected their foreheads. They breathed heavily. Gia smiled and bit her bottom lip to keep herself from kissing him again. Alex stared at her honey covered pupils. He loved her. And now, he knows that she loved him to. Nothing could get better than this...

Meanwhile...

"Aaaaand..." Marty carefully tried to take away a brick from the tower as it kept slowly swaying from side to side. Suddenly the tall tower fell and the bricks went flying off the table. "Awh man! I was so close!" He telled in defeat.

"Haha, loser," Bree said in triumph. Marty glared at her playfully.

"Hey, who you callin' loser?" Marty said offendly. Bree giggled and Marty smiled to himself.

"Dont try to taunt me, Marty. It's not gonna work." Bree said and folded her arms in annoyance.

"Just cuz you're a carnivor and is related to royalty ain't gonna stop me, you know?" Marty said confidently. Bree looked at him wondering if he was taking their joke a little seriously. "I've lived with your brother since he couldn't talk! Are you really trying to challenge me?" Marty smirked.

"Bring it on, Grandpa," Bree taunted back. They glared at eachother until Marty slammed a deck of cards on the table.

"Speed." Marty declared.

"You're on!" Bree said and they both started playing.

Gloria rolled her eyes, "Seriously?"

"Just let them be, hun. They'll get tired in a few minutes." Melman said.

"Melman, they've been playing board games for 2 hours!" Gloria reminded him.

"2 hours!?" Vitaly shouted causing everyone in the room to look at him. "Where's Gia!?"

"Ya, where's-a Alec too?" Stefano asked. Everyone shrugged. Vitaly's eyes widened and his snout quivered as he growled softly. Marty noticed his sudden behavior.

"Woah, Vitaly, man calm down, Im sure its not what you think. Alex is not that kind if cat." Marty said, trying to defend his best friend. Vitaly snarled.

"How do you know Alex is not taking advantage of Gia?" He asked in a rhetorical way. Marty frowned.

"No one knows Alex better than me, 'kay? I can read his mind just by looking at his face. And Alex loves Gia and he would never hurt her! So dont go on saying stuff that you can't prove!" Marty yelled. Everyone went silent. Vitaly scoffed and looked away. Marty sat back down, satisfied with his victory. Bree smiled. She admired the way Marty stood up for Alex. Even if they were best friends since cub and foal, he trusts him. And if he can, she can.

"Alright, if were done here I'd liked to go to bed now." Gloria yawned.

"Okay Dumpling." Melman said. They went to a corner and laid on the hay together. Marty yawned.

"Yeah, Imma hit the hay too." He jumped into a pile of hay and fell asleep.

Bree giggled, "Oh wow, Marty." She whispered. She looked at Vitaly. "Don't worry Vitaly, Gia will be alright." She smiled at him. He gave her a small smile in return. Bree's smile faded. She sighed and went to a corner. Vitaly looked at her as she laid. He sighed.

"Goodnight," Bree said before turning to the wall and closing her eyes.

"Night..." Vitaly said softly. Im going to kill that lion...
