[Private: rich198 & FlamingBee] Simba's Pride: The Big Gap

[FlamingBee]

Vitani just laughed; she didn't really care what Kovu thought of her. She decided she'd go find something fun to do, and left the 'kid' to his own devices.

[rich198]

it was getting late so Kovu decided to get some sleep, and hope he was healthy for training in the morning. Nuka decided to go search for Zira he had something he wished to talk to her about.

[FlamingBee]

Zira was sitting a-top their home as she often did in evenings - she was agitated by the fact that Kovu wasn't fit for training! If he wasn't there soon, she'd have to put her plans on hold...

[rich198]

After several minutes of searching Nuka found Zira. "Mother can i talk to you for a..."

[FlamingBee]

She lifted a paw, silencing her son. "Nuka, tell me... how long will Kovu be out of action?" She needed an answer...

[rich198]

"He managed to take a few steps today but still struggaling to walk more than a few paces. But with some assistance he may be able to do some training tommorow, depending on how tough it is." Nuka sounded ver nervous talking to his mother iver something which he could no more than have a rough guess at.

[FlamingBee]

"Training is always tough you idiot..." She said this very calmly, still staring down at something that had caught her eye; "Nuka, go tell your sister to come back! She's heading towards the border..."

[rich198]

It took Nuka a moment to process what was just said. He ran out of thier home. Once his sister was in ear shot he started shouting as loud as his lungs would allow "Vitani Vitani come back come back!" Over and over againhoping she would hear him. If not for his sisters' shake then for his own he was terrified what would happen if she did't come back. Would Zira take it out him or what.

[FlamingBee]

Vitani had heard her brother - who hadn't? - but she wanted to get to the prideland border, to one particular place...

Meanwhile, Zira had climbed down into the sleeping-quarters; she didn't really care where her daughter was going, but pursuing her had gotten rid of Nuka. She went over to where her youngest son was cleaning himself; taking a deep breath she smiled "How's my little prince today?"

[rich198]

Nuka continued to chase his sister but his voice has gone herse after the shouting. After about half a minute he caught up with her. "Where...are...you...going...that's...the...border." He said gasping for breath after his run.

Kovu smiled when he saw mother, for had missed her attention that he was used to. "I'm fine mother i want to go training with you tommorow." He knew he woulden't be fit for the training which awataid him, but he wanted to prove he was better than Vitani after that beating she gave him, now Kovu had something to prove and he knew it.
