Chapter 22

"TIMON, PUMBAA! Man I missed you guys!" screamed Simba.

"Well we missed you too Simba." Said Timon.

"How you been Buddy?" asked Pumbaa.

"I've been great. What about you guys?" asked Simba.

"We've been fine. We just found out some interesting news. Where's that daughter of yours?" asked Timon.

Kiara heard the talking and came running over.

"Timon, Pumbaa how you been?" asked Kiara.

"Great!" exclaimed Pumbaa.

"You didn't tell us you had a son." Said Timon.

"Well you guys were gone for so long, I didn't expect to see you." Said Kiara.

"That's alright. Pumbaa and I missed everyone so we had to come back." said Timon.

As everyone settled down and talked with Timon and Pumbaa, Shanni, Tara, Taja, and Melody were all outside.

"Guys I'm leaving tonight. I feel bad about what happened to Imani." Said Shanni.

"Yea but, she used Ari to get to Kovu and Simba." Said Melody.

"Yea but if you guys had been there, she admitted to the fact that she loves Ari."

Shanni stopped, sighed and spoke again.

"And if it's worth getting hurt or having her be my new sister, I'm gonna do it. Not for me, but for my brother."

"Well if you go, then I'll go." Said Tara.

"Me too." Said Taja.

"And me." Said Melody.

"Guys not all of us can go. We need at least two of you to stay here." Said Shanni.

"Ok. I'll stay here. To try to keep people from noticing you are gone. But who's gonna go with you?" asked Melody.

"I will. She can use the assistance of a male." Said Taja.

"Alright. Tara, are you gonna go or stay here?" asked Shanni.

"I'll stay here. Just in case."

"Ok. Then it's settled. Taja, you and I will leave tonight." Said Shanni.
