"Have i seen you before?"
"You may have," Malka said, sitting himself upright. "The only other white lion I knew was Nala's sister... you're the same, aren't you? I used to visit Nala when Scar was king... she was miserable after you left..." Malka never recieved a reply, because a small hornbill landed between himself and Mheetu, bowed to Malka, and then opened his beak.
"Mheetu, please, calm down. Listen to your mother and sister. They wouldn't lie to you. Now, what is all this talk about voices? Oh, hemm. How rude of me. Zazu."
Malka tensed. "Excuse me, little friend," he said, sternly but friendily, leaning down and putting his nose by the bird's ear. He was about to gently chide the bird for interrupting, but then another thought occured to him. "Mother and sister? Sarafina and Nala? What did they have to say?"

Suddenly a bird flew down and landed right in front of him. Mheetu was confused at first but when The hornbill spoke his words he remembered him. "Zazu you dont know what ive been through. My Mom and sister dont want me here and it obvious. Oh umm Zazu I'd rather talk to you in private about the voices."
Mheetu made a signal for the hornbill to follow him to the lions den. When Mheetu got into the lions den he told Zazu. "Ok zazu. I heard Scar. I know it sounds crazy but im not crazy im telling the truth." Mheetu's tail flicked back and forth as he doubted the Zazu would understand.

Zazu's wings fluttered as he glided into the den, following the lion. He had a serious expression on, his view never leaving Mheetu. Something was wrong with him, right? He was supposedly acting strange, which was almost obvious due to him storing off around and about after every conversation with the other lions. The Hornbill flapped his wings back as he perched himself near the lion, some little pebbles kicking up into the air.
"Okay Zazu. I heard Scar."
"Wha-what-WHAT?!" the bird was astonished, his bill hanging off in the air; Zazu's eyes were widely opened as he tried to stammer back a response to Mheetu, "Y-you heard S-Sc-Sc-SCAR?!"
He shivered nervously, remembering those hideous hyenas as soon as he had remembered Scar. All of their disgusting laughs and their murders. And the Birdie Boiler. Quickly, he realized that he must've looked like a fool, all breathing heavily and frightened like that. The bird breathed in deeply, trying to calm himself by puffing his chest out. Soon, he felt that he was presentable enough to speak again.
"A-alright, Mheetu, but," Zazu paused for a moment, glancing towards the ground, "I know this must be hard for you, having left so early and coming back so much later...b-but...why on earth would you hear him? I mean, do you have any idea...?"

Sarafina stood there with her mouth hanging slightly open, as she watched her son bound off in a huff, seems he didn't like nor believe her, that Scar was not his father.
Turning to the other lioness that was with her, Sarafina smiled at the expression that was still covering her face. " It's ok Sarabi, you can laugh even more now if you want, it looks like my son has indeed lost a few marbles shall we say.. truth is I don't really know how to help him, if he wont believe what myself and Nala have told him what more can we do."
Turning to look back at the direction to where Mheetu had started running, it was easy to see he was heading back to Priderock. "Come Sarabi, we need to get back to where the others are as well. I need to speak to Malka about things that have happened, and maybe you could go speak to the 'new and improved 'Zira, it seems that things are not quite what they appear to be with her, and sooner or later, we're going to have an outburst on our paws, and now my son is back, its all adding up to one messy scene."
Standing silently now, Sarafina, waited for Sarabi to rise to her paws and collect herself, ready for them both to head back to Priderocka and the Waterhole.

Mheetu replied in a sigh back to Zazu "I dont know why but now im starting to not like Scar as much as i used to. Hes the one who taught me how to catch a mouse and fight. I miss him." Mheetu frowned and covered his face as tears ran down it. Mheetu motioned for Zazu to let him be. The sun barely hit Mheetu's Face. He was almost in total darkness and he had no one to help him out of this terror. Mheetu sobed "Why am I so confused? All I want is for someone to help me. Scar was like a ......... Nevermind."
Mheetu fell asleep like he used to as a cub.

Sarabi shook her head to get the dirt to fly away and stop clinging to her head, and now the flies were starting to annoy her as well.
" I agree, No point in standing around here then, when the entertainment is back at the waterhole, come on Fina, lets get a move on, I haven't had this much fun in a while."
Looking at the other lioness who had a smug look on her face, Sarabi stared for a moment before grinning. " ok, ok, I know that stampede things with Malka backfired, but still, this is different. This should be...hmm... well, interesting."
Moving away Sarabi moved back through the heat of the day with Sarafina by her side, it looked like now she was the one with a bored life and sarafina's had just started to improve, she had Malka to sort out and now this batty son of hers. Trying not to let her grin turn into a laugh, the lioness wondered what they would find when they came to the others .

Nala wandered away from the waterhole and back towards Pride Rock, which looked like a small model figure in the distance. On the way, she saw her mate.
"Simba..."
Nala flattened her ears at the memory of their argument before.
"I'm sorry."
The golden lion glanced back and her and slowed his pace before looking forward again.
"No, Nala...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. It's just...this is tough on all of us, you know? I never expected the throne to go to someone other than family. Now neither Kiara, Kovu, nor Kopa have the title of a monarch..."
Simba stopped, causing his mate to, as well, concern clouding her aquamarine gaze.
"Where did I go wrong? Why has the tradition been alive so long in our family, and yet I fail to carry on the tradition?"
Nala's frame sagged slightly with sympathy. Simba looked so forlorn and miserable, his hazel-red eyes downcast. She nuzzled his strong shoulder.
"It's not your fault. I know you have issues accepting that things happen like this, but...it's not your fault."
Suddenly, she noted that there were figures atop Pride Rock, one being her brother.
"Maybe we should go talk to him," she said, pointing with her nose. Simba looked up.
"It looks like he's talking to Malka," he said, frowning.
A glint came into Nala's eye.
"Race you there," she said, and sped off, Simba trailing behind. She could always beat him when it came to speed and endurance.
They made it to the base of the rock, panting and grinning stupidly. Nala grabbed Simba's ear and tugged it playfully.
"You stay here," Simba said. "I'll check out what Malka's up to with your brother. If things look like they're getting out of hand, you come up, too. I think Mheetu's mad at you, anyway."
Simba walked up to the top of the famous rock, feeling nostalgic and thinking of the moment when he claimed his throne, and approached the group, noticing Zazu there as well.
"What's going on?" he asked, trying to sound polite. He addressed Mheetu. "Why are you all the way up here, Mheetu?"

Mheetu jumped as he heard simbas voice. "Oh its you. Ummm Simba? Can i speak with you in private do you now anywhere we can go?" Mheetu was ready to do what scar had told him to do. Mheetu grinned at Simba hoping he looked innocent. Mheetu's tail flicked back and forth. Then Scar ghost came to him again but this time he was angry. Scar's ghost walked towards him and when he got close enough. Scar stuck him; claws extracted at Mheetu's face. Mheetu fell to the ground. His shoulder scraped across the rocks and left a deep cut about 6 in. long. Mheetu yelped cubbishly and said out loud "W....why.....Sc.....ar.....?"

Malka had watched, listening from outside the den as Zazu and Mheetu spoke inside. He watched as Mheetu fell asleep, then looked over his shoulder as someone approached.
"What's going on? Why are you all the way up here, Mheetu?" simba said.
Malka cleared his throat, and raised an eyebrow. "Nice of you to join us, Simba. Have you considered my off-"
A scuffle sounded behind him, and he span about, looking back at Mheetu in the den, lying on the floor. "What happened?"
"W....why.....Sc.....ar.....?"
Malka's eyes widened at the words, then he saw blood on Mheetu's shoulder. "Mheetu, come outside, into the daylight. I know you want to speak privately but all of us need to know. The more people you tell, the more chance one of us can help you, yes?" Malka looked up at Simba. "No better time to start advising, eh, Simba?"

Sarafina walked along with Sarabi, it seemed she wasn't in a particular rush to be back where the others gathered, she wasn't even sure if Malka wanted her there either, he was a lion of many contradictions, and he just made her so unsure of herself once again.
Not looking at her friend, she kept her eyes in front of her on the horizon but still needed to voice some concerns out loud. "Sarabi, what do you think of all this nonsense that Mheetu is talking about, we all know Scar has been dead for a long time, do you think.... someone else has influenced him and his mind while he has been living apart from us all. Maybe someone sent Mheetu to us to inflict hurt, and another thing, why has he come the same time as Zira, is it just a coincidence .?"
Letting out a small sigh, on they walked, when suddenly Sarafina's eyes opened wide. Bringing up a paw, she held it in front of Sarabi to stop her from walking. There up ahead was Kopa and in his embrace was Scruffy, they were just laying there silently staring down at the river. Knowing that they couldn't let themselves be seen, they quickly turned and made a detour away from them.
" Sarabi, what we just saw..well.. I really think.. we didn't see it.. you know what I mean, let them have whatever it was and no one is any the wiser....yes..agreed then"
The older lioness almost felt envious of what they were sharing and what she had seen, she doubted anything like that would ever happen between her and Malka, all she felt was ..puzzlement at the way her life was turning out.

"Oh, my apologies, sire," he bowed quickly to Malka.
Zazu still wouldn't just walk off offending ones of high regard without an apology. He tried to remain silent for the time being. There were just so many things going on that the bird couldn't control. So many things that were just not natural to happen around here. Sure, there'd been interesting things; those things usually happened one at a time, though.
But then there was a question.
"Aduh-duh-tuh-they-uhhh," he was a little stunned, struck with some sort of emotion that wouldn't allow him to speak.
"Mheetu?" the hornbill whispered to himself, switching his focus like gears in his head, barely making any noise as the lion prodded away from him.
Strange things were happening, that was for sure. Almost everyone was returning to these lands, including himself. Was this all a coincidence? Was there something pulling them there? Perhaps it was just natural that they all come back to the place that they knew best. It was a little more prestigious than where he had been formerly staying, anyway.
Ruffling his feathers up against his neck, the bird sighed. Zazu turned his attention to the other lions that were just a few meters or so before him. All of them were talking at once, and this confused him quite a bit. His creamy white feathers were mottled together, blue ones on his wings darkening on their tips from the lighting of the ledges of rocks. His orange talons peddled against the rocks, moving him closer to the pride.
"S-simba?" he barely managed to sqwack out, glancing over Simba and looking to Nala.
Nodding to her, he made a small little smile that quickly vanished as he set eyes on the other lions. Mheetu was there, too. Babbling about Scar and what not. Why was he talking about Scar? Scar had been dead for how long now? And how long had he been here? Not just Priderock, just on this earth? He was aging quickly, quicker than ever before. So was Simba and Nala, and they'd been cubs when he was just past his prime.
Curtain-time was nearing. Soon he'd take his final bow. But not just yet.

Mheetu listened to Malka and groaned "Ok call a meeting to pride rock I want everyone to hear this. Dont call it this second though call it when you think it would be best." Mheetu turned his back to Simba and Malka as he padded his way to the back of the Lions den where his family would sleep next to Simba's in the past before he had left. He plopped himself on the cold rocky ground and began to think out loud "Wheres Scar?Wheres Tojo? Wheres Chumvi? Wheres everyone i used to know?"

((OOC: umm, just pointing out... Wouldn't Mheetu know Mufasa is dead? Mheetu is younger than Nala, and since basically Nala was a cub during Mufasa's death, Mheetu would have been there as well and so would know of Mufasa's death.))

((OOC: maybe he didn't understand it during the time of Mufasa's death, but he still grew up during Scar's reign, and so he would have to know the true king had died. =P))
"What am I doing... I'm here with you Scruffy, holding you, caring for you, letting you know you're not alone.
The fluffy necked was stunned. She couldn't say anything or do anything. All she could do was feel. She could hear Kopa's breathing, could feel how the air he breathed out brushed her skin. She could hear him purr, and feel the rumbling sound with every part of her that touched him. And she could feel him rub his cheek gently against hers.
Unconsciously she begun to slip into a relaxed stance, letting her eyes flutter close, savouring the sensations Kopa was making her feel... And she admitted she liked this, that she could learn to like this even more.
"Shhhh Scruffy, just let things be for a little more, let me feel some of my dreams before we return to reality."
'Dreams, reality...' In a flash the former Outlander's eyes shot open and she realized what was happening. With a strong pull she freed herself from Kopa's embrace, stumbling backwards from him. She forced down the shivers that threatened to ran through her at the sudden loss of shared warmth, but she could not make the slightly horrified expression disappear from her face.
"K-Kopa..." She choked out his name, she seemed to have lost her ability of speech. "Ya... I....... I can't..." She shook her head with closed eyes, opening them then and staring at Kopa as she stilled the movement. "I can't, Kopa... I can't do this to 'Tani. She's happy with ya, 'n she if anyone has deserved that happiness. I..." She shivered now, and then hung her head with closed eyes. "I can't take that away from my best friend..." 'Even if it means I suffer...' she finished the sentence in her mind, not trusting her voice to speak out those words.

Kopa stayed still feeling the warmth radiate from Scruffy as he held her in his paws, it was making him purr even louder as he could feel her relax and lean more against him skin pressed against skin. About to make a bolder move, Kopa was startled when suddenly he felt her tense and push away from him. Confused he looked up at her as he also rose to his feet.
"K-Kopa...Ya... I....... I can't...I can't, Kopa... I can't do this to 'Tani. She's happy with ya, 'n she if anyone has deserved that happiness. I..."
Kopa just stared at the lioness, he felt ashamed, he had forgotten all about Vitani, she was his mate...yet, how he wanted Scruffy, still wanted her if he was honest with himself, he just didn't know what to do, how could you love two at the same time.
"I can't take that away from my best friend..."
Blinking slowly Kopa moved till he was standing beside her once again. " I'm sorry Scruffy, I just saw you there, all alone and distraught and I just wanted to take care of you, to show you my lo..to let you know you weren't alone... I didn't mean to make you angry". Moving slightly, Kopa rubbed his cheek against hers feeling softness and warmth, closing his eyes he savoured the moment, knowing that it would have to last him for a long time to come. Gathering his wits about him, Kopa made himself move away from her, leaving space in between so he wouldn't be tempted once more.
"I'll leave you alone in peace then, and maybe you can remove your horrified expression off your face" Finally turning to move back to the waterhole, kopa stopped himself and looked back at her just standing there. Letting a small sigh escape through his lips he managed a smile for the lioness. " Know this Scruffy, I still intend to have you as well as Vitani, I just haven't quite worked out, how to go about it yet." With one large paw in front of the other, he moved towards the direction where he knew peace and quiet wouldn't be so forthcoming.

((OOC: Whoa, boy! You guys type fast...))
Simba was dumbstruck when Mheetu displayed very, very strange behavior, and in the next minute had gotten up from a fall with blood covering a shoulder.
When Malka turned to him for a bit of advice, Simba couldn't decide what to do.
Nala padded up beside them, having seen the strange happenings going on with her little brother.
"What's going on?" Nala demanded, her voice sounding concerned even through the mask of authority she tried to hide it with.
"I..." Simba stared at Mheetu and the blood on his fur, remembering the way he 'spoke' to Scar. "I don't know..."
Turning to Mheetu, Nala said, "Little brother, I don't care if you are angry with Mother and me. We are NOT angry with you, but we are very concerned. I am concerned enough to keep you with me at all times. If you do not agree to this... then I am not sure what you will be capable of."
She came closer to her brother, her eyes softening and her voice becoming quieter. "Mheetu...what if you hurt someone because of...Scar, or whoever you're talking to? What if you get hurt?"
Simba turned to Malka and said quietly, "Well, she's got the right idea...if this doesn't work, I'm not sure what will. Zazu," he addressed the bird. "I want you to keep a close eye on Mheetu. If he says or does anything overly strange or alarming, I want to know."

Mheetu looked at his bigger sister Nala and replied after he heard the concernn and sadness in her sofy voice with her solem eyes. "Im sorry Nala, Ill accept your request and shall stay by you for now on. Im sorry if I am a bad brother." Mheetu had pain and sadness showing in his ocean blue eyes.
Mheetu got up and padded next to Nala, trying to show her he was ready to go with her any where she went. The blood on his shoulder was deep enough to where it left a scar. Mheetu hoped that fur would grow over his scar.

Sarafina slowly made her way back to the waterhole with Sarabi, passing along the same route they had used many times before. She had hoped to stay away from the others for a while longer and get over her confusion with Malka and also Mheetu arriving on the scene, with what it looked like some sort of instability, but now was the time to face upto her problems it seemed.
Moving nearer she could see her son and daughter along with Simba and Malka just standing around. Sarafinas eyes widened in dismay.. was that blood pouring down Mheetus fur, who on earth had attacked him. Straightening her shoulders slightly the lioness turned her head sideways to her companion.
"Sarabi, looks like our peace has finished for awhile, things have been happening.. again, while we've had our backs turned..and guess what, this time its not you thats the centre of the trouble." Laughing at the look on her friends face, she continued on till at last she was once again beside Malka.
Uncertain of who to talk to first plus she didn't want to appear to be accusing anyone of hurting her son, the lioness moved a little closer feeling her fur brush against Malka's. " Malka..would you care to tell me whats happening?"

Vitani sighed as she lay in the grass. What was happening. Why did Scruffy keep looking at Kopa that way, and what was the I missed you business. Kopa was her mate and she knew that
Her mothers memories where slowly returning. Everybody dodging her like the plague for bring her home. No matter how messed up her mother's thinking was back then she was still her mother; it was different now. She just hope she had done the right thing.
There was just so many secret swirling around, it almost made her wish for the old days when they were still outlanders; at least then she knew exactly what the problem was. Now all this chaos was just making her head spin.
"I need a drink of water." she muttered getting up, her head pounding. She got a head rush; dizziness caused her to throw up in the grass. "Well that's lovely." She said rolling her eyes and sulking, and grumbling walked back to the watering hole.

Sarabi padded towards where her son and his mate were standing, it seemed a little gathering was happening. Not meeting Malkas eyes, and she wasn't about to give him a greeting, she would just try and keep her mouth shut and blend in for a little and hope some minor things would be forgotten, now there were new things to think about, she really had Sarafina's batty son to thank for that.
"Simba, whats happening, and why is Mheetu bleeding, someone had a go at him already ?"
Looking over her shoulder she saw Vitani finish drinking and walk back towards them. mmm . me thinks Kopa better get back here pretty quick and stop fooling around with Scruffy, she doesn't look in too happier mood either.

Vitani sighed and sat with the gathering group next to Sarabi, looking withdrawn into her own thoughts. She glanced around the group. She wondered were Kopa and Scruffy were. She wanted to place full trust in them both but, something in the back of her mind keep her thinking otherwise. She attempted to put it out of her mind
"What's going on?" She asked Sarabi half still in her own thoughts.

The old lioness had taken another deep dive into the cool depths of the waterhole. She was completely clean now, even though she had done the bathing herself without assistance... And as she emerged to the surface she glanced around with a faint frown. Vitani was nowhere to be seen, though the young queen had said she would help her bathe.
She shrugged as she swam to the shore, emerging from the water and shaking her slim form to get the extra water out of her fur... Though there wasn't much of it anyway, her fur was so thin it didn't suck in so much water as it would have if it had been normal. She then made her way to the shade of the nearby trees that grew almost next to the water. She laid down there - or more like plopped herself down with a thump, grace was something her old body couldn't achieve any more.
Now what? She was alone among strangers, she knew none of them, or the ones she did know were not there. Again she wondered if she had been a fool to leave the peaceful, green dustiness at the Elephant Graveyard. But Vitani had spoken so smoothly, had lured her here...
She chuckled as she rested her head on her crossed front paws. Curiosity, that was what got her here, and the young queen had well known how to wake that curiosity even when the things she had promised to her were something the old lioness did not desire. And so she closed her eyes, not falling asleep but resting and letting everyone think she slept, to hear what would go on and to see who would be the one to wake her up from the fake slumber.
"-- to show you my lo.. -- remove your horrified expression off your face -- I still intend to have you as well as Vitani --"
Scruffy didn't move at all when Kopa spoke, she didn't even open her eyes to look at him when he finally left. She stood still with her head hung low and her eyes closed for a long time even after she couldn't hear Kopa's steps.
She couldn't do this... Vitani would never forgive her if...
The former Outlander lifted her head and opened her eyes to gaze at the river that had claimed the life of her loved one. All emotions slowly drained off of her face, just like the tears she had wept dried when the faint wind brushed her fur. No longer she wanted to jump to her death, no more she wanted to follow Nuka...
<Nuka...>
Scruffy smiled, letting all the love she had felt towards Zira's oldest son come to her expression. Nuka had been her first love, and she would always love him... But...! "Farewell, Nuka..." She could let go now, couldn't she? Kopa was giving her a chance of letting go... Even though she thought she would still not take him away from Vitani. It mattered more to her that he had noticed her on that way...
Then in a flash as she turned around and begun to head back to the waterhole, all emotion was gone from her face and the cold hearted Outlander assassin was back. She built back up all the walls around her heart that had been taken down so easily before by what Sarafina had said, and she was fairly sure those defences would not be taken down so easily again.

"Malka..would you care to tell me whats happening?"
Malka felt Sarafina brush against his flank and leaned into her, looking into her eyes and giving a smile in response. "Not an easy question to answer," he said at last, "Though... I'd say that, what appears to be happening, is that young Mheetu seems to be missing his father figure, Scar." He leaned closer then, his voice dropping further, putting his chin over Sarafina's head to reassure her. "The wound you see... it seems self inflicted. He fell to the ground inside the den and when he got up, he was injured. He seems to blame Scar..." Malka sighed, and shrugged. He really wasn't being helpful, he knew. "What relationship did he have with Scar, as a cub? Did they spend a lot of time together?" He sighed. Mheetu was Sarafina's daughter, he knew. Likely she would be distressed, recalling the things that had happened to her son. Or perhaps, realising for the first time that anything HAD happened.

Kovu's ears pricked when someone splashed out from the waterhole nearby where he was resting in the long grass. He raised his head, watching as Mother - or whom he greatly suspected was Mother - slumped down not too far away, and promptly went to sleep. Kovu lay motionless, watching her, listening... he crept forwards, gritting his teeth against the fresh pain in his body, trying not to make a sound as he slid closer, staring at that battered old face. Yes... mother. It had to be. She had the same eyes, the same angular features. It was odd watching her sleep. She didn't sleep like most lionesses, her features still and tranquil. Not like Kiara anyway. No, Mother looked like she was always alert, always listening. Despite being an adult himself now, it was still a little intimidating. How many times had she woken up as he tried to sneek away to play with Vitani?
He heard someone approaching then and raised his head, moving backwards a little too quickly to remain totally silent. Over the grass, it looked like Scruffy was coming. Another mother figure, Kovu thought, remembering all the babysitting Scruffy had done. There was something funny about her, too - the way she walked, the hardness of her jaw. She hadn't seen her like that since Mother died. He looked down to Mother then, and wondered if her return had anything to do with Scruffy's... hardness. "Old memories, I suppose," he whispered, then retreated back to where he was lying before, sitting to attention to greet Scruffy.

Kopa slowly walked away from Scruffy, his thoughts swirling around in his mind, he didn't know what to do, but knew what he felt wasn't going to go away any time soon, the only thing he did know was that he had to tread very carefully, and not let anyone catch on as to what was happening with himself..well for now anyway, till he had sorted things out, if that was possible.
Breaking into full stride he ran onwards, the breeze pushing back his large furry mane, the ends standing up as though trying to reach the sun that was high up in the sky. while his sleek body rippled along his muscles, displaying the strength he possesed.
Kopa slowed himself down as he drew nearer and nearer where he knew the others would be gathered, it was time to put his 'ruling' hat on again, and see if Malka had been quiet or rubbing everyone up the wrong way again.
Strolling in among them all, he saw they were gathered around a lion, but he wasn't quite sure who it was. Turning away he looked around for the one he wanted to see, finally spotting her lying quietly beside Sarabi. there she is...still as beautiful as ever Kopa stopped and stared at her, could he really have both her and Scruffy close to him, would it really work, or would someone be made to suffer.
Coming up behind her Kopa fixed a smile on his face and banished such thoughts away for now, leaning in he ran a paw up her spine and then softly touched her cheek. Leaning down he gave her a gentle nuzzle. "whats happening Tani.. I thought you would be with Zira and Kovu ?"

Sarabi sat down on her rump waiting for Simba to explain these new happenings, had Malka decided to use Mheetu as a punching bag, taking out some anger on the younger lion, or had something else happened.
Looking slowly as she saw Vitani come from drinking at the waterhole to where she now sat beside her, hmm she seemed a little down, Sarabi wondered how long before Kopa wandered back to them all, he needed to pay some attention to his mate before he got himself in depper trouble.
Hearing Vitani ask "What's going on?" , the older lioness sshhed her for a minute. "Wait I think Malka is finally going to answer Sarafina, this should be good."

((OOC: ah, all right Dakota. My bad.. xD for some reason I managed to read that part wrong. )) Scruffy was so deep in thought as she walked towards the direction of the waterhole. Thoughts of what their supposed Zira would do or what her presence there at the Pride Lands would cause kept swirling through her mind. But she didn't mind these thoughts, nor did she mind imagining different possibilities of what could happen. She was ready to think anything as long as she would not need to think of Kopa. Perhaps this was why she didn't realize she had already reached her destination, at least not until another of the former Outlanders greeted her as she walked by. The fluffy necked blinked, surprised she was already here... But the the surprised expression disappeared as soon as she took a look around and noticed three things. First was that the old lioness was resting peacefully under one of the trees. She was completely clean now, and though her fur sure was lighter than what Scruffy remembered, there was no mistaking of her identity. She had to be Zira. How many times had she seen her rest like that... Scruffy shook her head and turned her gaze at Kovu, the second thing she had noticed. He had apparently noticed her long before she had realized she had reached the waterhole. And as she walked towards him, she couldn't help but wonder of the third thing she had noticed... "Hi Kov'..." Scruffy greeted him both with her words as well as with a slight nod of her head. She took another look around to make sure she had indeed seen right before she seated herself and turned her dark red eyes at Kovu. "I though 'Tani was supposed to be 'ere?"

Simba turned to Sarabi, his mother.
"Well, it seems that Mheetu has been having...voices or something, speak to him. He's injured himself on account of his hallucinations."
Nala nodded in agreement, now next to her brother and nuzzling him. "Don't worry, Mheetu...we'll figure out what's wrong."
(OOC: the muse has left me! And you guys really wrote a lot this week! D:)

Mheetu saw more lions coming. He had been gone so long and missed so much. He didnt know any of the new lions. He closed his eyes and let flash backs come to his mind. He pictured him and Nala were cubs again and she was teaching him how to pin. She was always the best at pinning people. Mheetu come back to the real world and felt Nala nuzzling him. Mheetu listened to her words and hoped she was right. Mheetu looked at one of the lioness's he hadnt met. He had never saw anyone like her. She had spots around one of her eyes a dark pelt.
Mheetu turned towards Nala and whispered in her ear "Whos that lioness that just walked by?"

Vatani Shivered almost flinching at her mates touch. Why was she acting this way, Kopa had been her mate for so long she always could feel him around her thought quickly scattered Once more, remembering her promise to her mother, "OH NO ZIRA! Sorry Kopa, I'd love to stay but I total forgot I was suppose to help mother bathe!" She quickly nuzzled her mate, "Tell me everything when I get back with the others. Love you bye!" Vatani quickly raced off back towards the watering hole. "I must be going out of my mind!" She thought as she ran. How could she forget something so important? Also For some reason she was also glad to get out of there. She needed to talk with Kopa in private, not in front of the whole pride.
She saw her mother looking as if she was stalking something in the grass. But Vitani knew that this was her mothers version of "Sleeping" She was alot lighter than before though. I guess even in her prime the dust of the outlands had blurred her real color. She also saw Scruffy along with Kovu, she approuched quietly. "Sorry, I completely spaced out on helping Zira. Is she ok?"
