The Outlands Story

[Panda-chan]

"Nuh uh!" she said, half annoyed, half amused. Huru was right behind her, and gaining fast. A thought entered Vitani's mind so abruptly that she was forced to stop suddenly, with Huru crashing right into her from behind. Vitani's eyes widened as she looked around her through the dense foliage.
"Hey! What was that for?" Huru said angrily, rubbing his sore head.
"Huru," Vitani said slowly, her fear starting to mount. "Where's Kopa?"

[serra20]

Kopa ran right into Vitani."I'm here!Don't worry."

[Panda-chan]

"Oh Kopa, you almost gave me a heartattack!" Vitani said with a sigh of relief. Then she punched him. "Don't ever do that again!"

[serra20]

Kopa laughed."Okay,okay.Want to walk around the Pridelands?"he asked.

[Panda-chan]

"Sure." Vitani said and followed him.

[serra20]

Huru roared."Hey!Wait for me!"and ran after them.
Kopa showed most beautiful places in the PrideLands to Huru and Vitani.They were amazed by all this around here.Then he walked to Pride Rock."Wanna stay in the Pride Rock here with me?"he asked friendly.
"Umm...I don't know.How about you,sister?"he looked at Vitani.

[Panda-chan]

"Um," Vitani thought hard. Suddenly, the burden of what she was doing hit her. She was disobeying her mother! She was talking to a Pridelander! And she was being offered to stay with him for a while! But Vitani knew that if she suddenly attacked him, he would most definitely strike back. One look at his razor-sharp claws was enough to make her shudder.
So she politely refused. "Oh, no, I can't. My Mom's probably worried sick. We really need to go. Thank-you for the offer though."
She padded away, feeling thoroughly relieved, then realized Huru wasn't following her. She glanced back over her shoulder. "Come on Huru! We have to go home. NOW."
She saw her little brother look disappointed, sigh, and give Kopa a quick good-bye. Then he silently followed Vitani to the Outlands.

[serra20]

Huru quickly ran in front of Vitani and stopped her."Vitani...Do you know what you're doing?Kopa and his family would perfectly accept us,but our mother would be really angry at us!Do you want to appear to her right now and listen how she's shouting at us?Well,if yes,then I can't help you..."he nuzzled his sister and padded back to Kopa.

[Panda-chan]

"But Huru, we can't-" Vitani started to protest, but Huru had already padded off. She groaned. She had to go back. She couldn't disobey her mother. She'd been trained to listen to her since before she could walk. Yet she couldn't leave Huru behind with the Pridelanders. Who knew what they could do with him?
Vitani flopped down on the grass and cried. The world was so unfair to her.

[serra20]

Huru turned around and saw his sister crying.He felt sad too and walked up to her again."Tani...If we could go back,Kopa would still be our friend.what should we do then?Go to meet him when mother would not watch at us?"he layed down and nuzzled her."C'mon sister,think about it..."
