Destined Bonds (Private Mane and Accalia)

[mane6]

Ara plodded around actually more stumbling, she had just lost her home, and she couldn't find her family anywhere.  Hoping to find a place to stay, she had begun to travel to the eastern Pride. It was a short journey, being princess of the other pride also ment she was going to meet her bethrothed again in the pride. They only met as newborns, but they were friends.

[Accalia]

Arlo hid in the shrub and stalked Ara, then leaped on her playfully. HA I got you he said while he puffed out his chest, overly proud. He smiled a huge grin, and looked down at Ara on the floor.

[mane6]

"Eh?" She said, hearing rustling in the bushed, until she was pounced upon. She growls at the other cub playfully. She flips him over and pins him down, stickkng her tounge out at the cub below her. She still remembered that attack, but her mother would've wanted her to act normally.

[Accalia]

Hey get off me! Arlo wined no fair you cheated he says with a pouty face

[Accalia]

He got up and brushed himself down. "Hey, is the princess up for a little adventure?" Arlo asked in a mocking tone, but smiling, he knew she hatted when he called her princess.

[mane6]

"Don't call me princess..." she says harshly, flicking her tail. "But, an adventure sounds good. "

[Accalia]

Arlo giggles and says, are you sure you aren't scared? But as he says this he lookes at Ara with a slight glint of fear.

[Accalia]

But he soon snaps out of the fear and puffs his chest out trying to appear brave, but looking quite silly instead.

[mane6]

She pushes him over with her golden paw. "If your trying to impress me by being bravr, you better work on it." She says jokingly.

[Accalia]

He roles around in the dirt and says " hahaha, I will do! One day you will be courering behind me, and I will save the day!" He looks to the sky, imagining the scene. Arlo flops onto the floor, " So where do you want to go adventuring? Or are you going to chiken out?" He asks mockingly.

[mane6]

"Yeah, I would love to see that." She says sarcastically, before plodding away beckoning him to follow. She soon arrives at a dull barran place with various skulls scattered around. "How brave are you now?" She mocks.

[Accalia]

He races i front of Ara, but one of his paws crushes a skull and he shudders. "Whoa!?" He says in disbelieve "there are so... Many." He found it hard to believe how many skulls there were. He backed away from the edge of the field of skulls and looked at Ara looking not one tiny bit scared and tried to do the same. Everything Arlo heard made him jump though and he hated it, he wanted to look brave like Ara.

[Accalia]

"Uhhhhhhh, of course I am brave." He said in a shakey tone. "I live for danger." He said more convincingly.

[mane6]

"Yeah sure." She rolled her eyes and laughed, throwing a skull at him. "Your just like a little newborn, learning to walk." She joked pinning him down, their noses accidentally touching. She immediately got up, blushing. "Eh... sorry about that." She says with a slight stutter.

[Accalia]

He blushed and looked at Ara with big eyes, then quickly at the graveyard, come on then, he says with determination. He was determined to show Ara that he could be brave. He raced off, and threw a skull at Ara and laughed.

[Accalia]

"Hah, gotcha, you know we could get into LOADS of trouble if we got court!" He said whilst throwing another skull in Ara's direction.

[mane6]

She shoved him to the floor. "Does it look like i care?" She laughed, flicking her tail and hitting him round the face with it. "Heh, Betcha can`t catch me!" She says, running off, and sliding down the spine of a rub. She landed on a hill of bones and climbed up.

[Accalia]

"Bet I can!" Arlo raced after her and caught up with her at the top of the bone pile, then froze. He could hear laughter in the distance, but the laughter was not made by a lion. "Ara, do you hear that." He says with a slight tremor.

[mane6]

"Yes i do. Lets go back home." She says still seeming brave, but terrified on the inside. "Is it okay if i stay with your pride, my uhm, whole pride and family just, dissapeared."

[Accalia]

"Oh, I am sorry to hear that... I know how it feals." He says starring at her with tears in his eyes then continues trying to forget the past. "But you can deffinatly come join my pride, people should be fine with a new lioness joining!" He says with a new cheerfull tone to his voice. "Follow me, I'll lead you home." He looked at Ara and said "I know you are really scared inside!" In a joking but knowing way then walked off at a slow enough pace for Ara to catch up.

[mane6]

Ara raced to the side of him putting on a small smile and messing up his growing mane. She plodded beside him, thinking back to when their noses touched, she blushed a little and giggled. She hid her face so he couldn't see it, or her blushing.

[Accalia]

"Hey, don't do that!" He said annoyed. Arlo had missed being cared for and so underneath the annoyance he liked the feeling of love. He sighed and said "Ara, do you have anyone left from your pride? I know I shouldn't ask, but maybe if there was someone else, they could also join my pride, and be safe. I would hate it if I was alone."

[mane6]

She smirked, fixing his mane again, she laughed at his mood. His question caused her ears to pin back to her head. She looked away, blinking vigorously. "My brother and me were the only survivors, a day before we got here, he passed away in his sleep from his injuries. The rest of the pride is gone, only I remain..." she mutters shaking her head as she swore she saw the jealous eyes of Meupi, whom majorly had a crush on Arlo. She shook her head. "Arlo, is Meupi still in your pride?" She asks with worry to her tone.

[Accalia]

"I am so sorry about your brother, my siblings died as well, it is ok though I will help you get through the loss." Arlo slows down and looks at Ara lovingly.

He then stands still at the sound of Meupi's name "Meupi, why do you want to know ?" He doesn't take note of the shakey tone in her voice.

[mane6]

"Thankyou, so much Arlo. I guess I owe you, your allowing me to join your pride, and your a great friend. " she smiles weakily, she notices he gaze and laughs a little. "It kinda got Arkward at my home though, since I was just about the only female there, apart from Meupi. When she met you for the first time, she loved you, quite literally, and she wouldn't tell anybody. It was obvious. When she found out I already knew you, and well, we were bethrothed, she kicked off and almost killed me. Shes still after my hide. She creeps me out. Shes like a crazy cat lady."

[Accalia]

"Wait, I never knew about meupi, I guess it was because I never saw her, but... Ew that is creepy..." He looks into the shadows and sees the big round eyes staring back at him. " Race you home!" He says in a light tone, anything to get away from Meupi.

[Accalia]

Arlo boundes off towards the lands of the pride as fast as he can.

[mane6]

She growled, she lagged behind, giving Meupi the chance to leap on her, sending the two sprawling across the floor. Ara seemed to be flung through the air wildly. She hit a rock and fell unconscious. Meupi rushed over, growling and slapping Ara around the face, claws out. The blood ran from Aras wound, as Meupi went to bite Aras neck, she woke up and shoved Meupi away.

[Accalia]

Arlo turned at the sound of growls and lept on top of meupi pinning her to the ground, he roared in her ear and let his claws dig into her fur, just enough to hurt her, but not enough to per mentally wound her. "Never come near me, or my friends EVER again." He growls. Arlo stands up in a defensive possition between Ara and Meupi

[Accalia]

" LEAVE NOW." He shouts, so the mountains echo it around the lands.
