"ALEX!"
"Gia!"
The jaguar paused for a moment to see Alex running towards her and hiding behind her, Gloria, and Marty as Vitaly chased him.
"What's a going on?"
"Vhat is zhis about new circus members!?"
Silence fell upon all the occupants of the circus (that were nearby anyway) as they stared at the scene. Some looked around awkwardly, others moving uncomfortably. Seeing the giant tiger pissed off at this was something they knew would come, just not this soon.
"We… we couldn't have told you. We wanted it as a surprise," one of the dogs said nervously, a fake smile plastered onto his face. Vitaly held his glare as he gazed at all of them. "It's… eh… emm…"
"Ok, we were afraid that you'd take it the wrong way since two of them are also… lions," Marty admitted, looking to the side towards as he tried to look at Alex. Vitaly stood out straight and crossed his arms, his emerald eyes still narrowed.
"Stefano zaid zhe lions vere Alex's cousins," he growled causing everyone to look at the sea lion who chuckled nervously. Everyone else shook their heads before meeting Vitaly's gaze. Marty shifted uncomfortably.
Alex luckily spoke up a bit here. "I owed one of them a favor and my uncle and aunt both said that I had to make up for leaving Africa so soon," he explained, rubbing the back of his mane as the tiger raised an eyebrow before stomping off grumbling something in Russian under his breath. The lion leaned over to Gia's ear quietly, whispering, "Do I want to know what he's saying?" The spotted feline looked at her boyfriend with her amber brown eyes before shaking her head.
"Probably-a not."
"Ok then."

Meanwhile, in Las Vegas,
A young teenage male lion, with brownish gold fur and his preteen mane a light golden color juggled three bowling pins in his paws, his dark blue eyes gleefully looking over to his older sister nearby. She herself was a reddish brown gold with a dorsal stripe down her back. She had a long fur tuff that went over her blind eye while she watched her brother with her remaining good, indigo colored eye. She wore some bracelets around her wrists and a neck wrap decorated with beads and feathers. Unlike her brother, who had a rounded black nose, she had an angular rosy pink nose.
"How am I doing, Sis?" the brother asked, grinning as he went back to looking and concentrating on his juggling.
"Wonderful, Ayo, wonderful," she said, smiling kindly to the teenager before placing some vials in a bag. She held another one up, staring into the misty green contents. "I'm sure the circus will be glad to have you as a juggler when we join." Ayo looked over to his sister before catching the pins and skipping over towards her.
"What about you, Ro? Cousin Al did say that their tiger is a bit more to the traditional side, as well as," Ayo scrunched up his nose as he continued, "Russian." He looked up to Rosella, for that was her (American) name, as she thought.
"Probably dance, do a few charms to bring us luck and such," she said, causing the younger lion to look disappointed. She chuckled the moment she saw it though and ruffled her paw through his somewhat mane. "Don't worry, suga'," she said, giving what seemed to be a genuine smile in her southern accent. "I'll try and find a way to show off in the end. Family curse and all. Now go pack up your things or we'll forget something of yours… again."
As Ayo ran off to do so, Rosella's smile fade down to a true, sorrowful frown as she went back to her vials. "And hopefully before my monster takes ahold of me again as well," she whispered, gripping the last vial so tight that it broke in her paw, causing the glass to cut into it. She hissed painfully and quickly dropped it, letting the contents of what looked like blue smoke touch the floor as she went to bandage her paw. The smoke stayed among the ground for a moment before turning into small wisps trailing off into the darkness.
Yes, chapter 2 is now done. Wish me luck on chapter 3 and please review.
Also, I am too lazy now to note differences. Good day and good night.
