TMNTMentalistTLK lover; I'm glad you're happy.

After Hal left his mother at pride rock with Rafiki, Nala and his sister. He decided to go on his last round of the day, well his only round. Even though it's early afternoon, Simba don't want him to do to much. Regardless the light cream lion was doing his rounds of patrolling the western border. Doing his prince command rounds was relaxing, especially since he has nothing better to do. His light blue eyes scanned for any trouble, when he felt everything was good he turned to head back to pride rock. Even though he was trying to work off his stress he was worried about his mother. What could of made her sick? Hal had gotten not even ten feet when he heard a familiar voice. The light cream lion turned to see a pale white lioness with some bruises on her face and some scattered across her body.

"Furaha? What are you doing here?"

Furaha is a member of the Riverview pride, under the rule of King Wivu and Queen Jiva. Hal and Furaha met when Simba took him to meet the surrounding kingdoms. The Riverview pride was the third kingdom Simba took him to. But the question is...what is she doing here?

Furaha looked down as tears fell from her green eyes. "Hal...King Wivu exiled me."

The light cream lion gasped before he shook his head. "Why? What happened?"

Furaha looked away with her ears pinned."King Wivu seduced me and I found out yesterday. I told him but he said to tell the pride I had hooked up with a random rogue. I went to Queen Jiva about and Wiva exiled me."

Hal frowned, he felt bad for his friend. He walked over and gave the younger lioness a small nuzzle. "Come on I'll take you to my uncle."

Furaha smiled gratefully before limping over the border as she followed her friend.

-TOAAII-

The sun by now had started to set. The pride had celebrated the news of the upcoming births. Simba had accepted Furaha with open arms. Of course her cub will be bethroled to his future cubs. Hal was shocked to say the least but was happy for his adopted cousin and his mother. Though now he's even more depressed. Now his mother had found her true love and was continuing the circle of life. Kiara felt bad for the older lion. She hope he'll find the one. Glancing around the cave she felt the need for fresh air. The golden orange lioness stood and walked out of the cave and over to the peak. The pride lands is always beautiful any time of the day.

"Kiara..."

The future queen turned her head to see Kopa standing not far. "Kopa...I..."

The creamy yellow teen walked over and sat by the lioness side. "I have been meaning to speak with you."

Kiara sighed heavily. "To be honest...I have been wanting to talk to you too. Especially since now mother explained things to me."

Kopa looked from his sister towards the multicolored sky. "I don't want the throne. It's not for me and it's not fair for you and Kovu. I seen what you two have done and grandpa is very proud."

Kiara pinned her ears. "Thanks. So how do you feel about Mheetu having daddy's cub?"

Kopa laughed lightly. "There's nothing much I can do about that. But I'm happy as long as mom and dad is happy. Besides you're expecting as well."

Kiara giggled. "I can't wait." then a serious look formed. "I'm glad we had this talk. You're pretty cool."

Kopa laughed before nudging his sister with a paw. "You're not bad yourself."

The siblings laughed a bit more before turning in for the night.

-TOAAII-

The stars shined brightly on the creamy orange lioness. She moved quietly through the tall grass, fuming and all. She had been waiting for Vitani for eight weeks and her niece and step-daughter hadn't returned. So she returned to her pride to think with her mate. But as she entered her and her mate's cave, she was surprised to see her niece sound asleep.

"Hello darling. We have been waiting for you."

Out of the darkness of of the cave walked a large dark golden lion with a russet mane and sapphire blue eyes.

"Tojo, what is she doing here?"

Tojo narrowed his eyes at his mate. The dark golden lion had changed over the past two years. His once deep brown mane darkened to a russet mane that he inherited from his father. A snarl left his lighter colour muzzle as his eyes blaze.

"My daughter was so pose to be here from the get go."

Tama rolled her golden eyes. "Is not my fault Zira didn't follow the plan or you didn't follow the memo right away."

Tojo roared before baring his teeth with a growl. "Do you know who you're talking to!? You're lucky you're pregnant with my cub."

Tama stepped back before bowing. "I'm sorry, my king."

Tojo growled before looking at his daughter. Tama followed the large lion's gaze. "Did she compete plan one?"

"Yes and she's pregnant."

Tama noticed something off about her mate. "Tojo, is everything alright?"

The dark golden lion sighed. "I wish Mheetu would of joined us. But he had to fight Zira and let go."

Tama pinned her ears back. "You loved him as well? Didn't you?"

Tojo nodded. "Because of that idiot, I lost him. Now I see the ways of that embilcle."

Tama looked away before perking her ears. "I have word from a very reliable source that Mheetu is alive and was turned into a lioness."

Tojo growled deadly. "You know that I hate secrets. Are you going to tell me who's your spy?"

Tama smiled evily. "All you need to know for now that they were once best friends with Simba."
