Attack of Zuberi

[Adofo]

Adofo: Can i tell you a story? When you were first born.......I was so excited! My first cub! I was so happy! We were going to do everything together but then......your mother told me we needed to keep the whole thing a secret. So nobody but me and her knew. You don't know what I went through. I agreed with her but.....after that I had to leave for three straight days. I went into solitude just to do one thing. Cry. I cried so much! Day in and day out! My first little precious cub, my own flesh and blood, taken away from me! It hurt so bad. I never even ate or drank. I just laid on the ground for three days crying. It hurt so bad to let you go.....and when you started to hate me only for the reason was because i was a human......it destroyed my heart. It was so bad.....i was too shocked to even want to cry. I just.....I love you so much! You're my baby! I am so lucky to call you mine! I just wanted you to know.

Gonai: I love you too. So much. I'd give up my life for you.
Arida: *Sleepily* ... What?
Gonai: Nothing, sweetheart. Go on back to sleep.
Arida:
Adofo: Why does she always sleep?
Gonai: I don't know. But it worries me. I heard that cubs who sleep a lot don't make it to adulthood. Dad, I'm so worried! What if something happens to her?

[Adofo]

Adofo: Don't worry Gonai! As long as I'm around I'm going to make sure she grows up to live a happy long life!

[Iri]

Gonai: Okay...
*At the den*
Gonai: Come on, Arida, get in your bed. *Takes her scruff gently and puts her in her nest*
Arida: Don't drop me.
Gonai: I'm not dropping you, Arida.
Arida: *Grumbles*
Gonai: That's what I'm worried about, Dad. She sleeps every spare moment she has!

[Adofo]

Adofo: Let me talk to her. Sweetie, can Grandpa ask you something? Why are you sleeping all the time?
Arida: I'm just sleepy all the time. Why?
Adofo: Well....we're all just worried about you.

[Iri]

Arida: There's nothing to be worried about. I just enjoy napping.
Gonai: Well, it seems that you want to sleep every moment of your life.
Arida: Yeah. So?
Gonai: I'm not trying to scare you, Arida, but it's not safe for a lion cub to sleep every minute of their life.
Arida: Why?
Gonai:

[Adofo]

Adofo: Arida........we're worried.......your body may be too weak.....meaning.........you'll die.
Arida: WHAT!?!?!
Gonai: Yes.
Arida: BUT I DON'T WANT TO DIE!
Adofo: We don't want you too either! That's why Mommy and Grandpa are going to help you!

[Iri]

Arida: How? How can you help me?
Gonai: Well, you can exercise more. That way you can work up your body, so you don't sleep as much.
Arida: What kind of exercises?

[Adofo]

Adofo: Running, pouncing, swimming. Please Arida, will you do it?! Grandpa can't see one of his little fur balls of joy go into the ground.
Arida: .......okay!
Adofo: That's my girl! *kiss*
Gonai: Let's get started!

[Iri]

Gonai: Let's start with swimming.
*At the lake*
Arida: I'm anticipating this. *Flexes claws and leaps into the water*
Gonai: *Leaps into the water*
Arida: *Paddles with paws and swims around*
Gonai: You look like a little fish, the way you swim!
Arida:
