Our Future lies within You. [DG & Songo]

[DGFone]

Ahadi placed Taka down next to Mufasa before going back outside with Uru. He sat down next to her at the tip of Priderock, and smiled when Uru licked his cheek. "I love you too," he said. "Is it true? Does Sarafina seem to like Taka?" he asked Uru. "Or is Mufasa just being himself?" He asked, jokingly.

Together, Ahadi and Uru sat by each other, watching as the evening turned to night, and the stars begin to reveal themselves.

[Songo]

Uru smiled at Ahadi's words and she watched the stars appear in the sky, "Well I don't know. You'd have to ask my mother about all that. But Id like to try and match Sarabi up with Mufasa. Shes a good cub and comes from a healthy line, It would be a good marriage. I just hope he sees it himself, either way our sons can pick their mates." she whispered softly.

Uru rested her head on Ahadi's shoulder and thought for a moment, "Look at how far we've come Ahadi, its amazing. Now we have two wonderful boys, a lovely home." she said calmly enjoying the quiet. [b"This is so much more then I expected, what about you? Did you ever think you'd have all this..?"[/b] she asked him curiously.

[DGFone]

Ahadi thought about Sarabi and Mufasa. He had to agree with Uru: Sarabi would most likely be the best choice for Mufasa. But he would force Mufasa to marry her. He will allow time to take its course, and maybe, Mufasa will find a mate that would suit him best.

Uru rested her head on Ahadi, and he smiled at her question. "I never expected to even come close to this," he told her. "If I can recall correctly, I believe I was once a dirty rogue who couldn't even wash himself." He looked out at the Pridelands, but couldn't see much in the darkness of the night. "And now I have a great family, the best mate I could have ever hoped for... I never, ever thought that this would ever happen to me." Ahadi nuzzled Uru lovingly. "It's already dark. We should head back inside," he told her before getting up to go back inside the den.

[Songo]

"But your a handsome King now." she smirked. She frowned following behind Ahadi as they went into the den to sleep. She barely got to spend anytime with him, she missed him more and more each day. Curling up around her cubs she slowly closed her eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep of her own.

-NEXT Day-

Mya heard the birds tweet and lifted her head, her green eyes blinked a few times adjusting to the bright sun. She smiled and nuzzled Sarafina's sleeping body, "Come on sleepy head, lets go to the watering hole." she whispered softly before giving Sarafina a few tenderly licks. She stood to her paws and padded out into the warm sunlight a big grin across her muzzle, it felt good to belong somewhere. Her light tan ears twitched as she heard Sarafina stirr in the den and she looked back to see her little sunshine stepping out.

"Morning mama.." she said yawning slightly. She padded out of the den with a smile and ran into the thick grass smiling and giggling as she chased a butterfly. "Come one mom, lets go exploring.." she said padding towards the watering hole. Her green eyes flickered at the sight of the shimmering water and she ran towards it.

Mya quietly padded behind Sarafina and watched her play around, she reclined back to her hinds as she watched her play in the water. "Careful sweety.." she warned in a motherly tone.

Uru woke up early before Ahadi and the boys, she sat on the ledge outside the den and admired the lands as the sun rose. She smiled at Ahadi as he approached her yawning still full of sleep. "Sleep well m'love?" she cooed softly licking his cheek. She gave him a loving nuzzle and purred softly in his ear. Her honey colored eyes gazing at him, she smirked slightly.

Mufasa opened his brown eyes and shook Taka, "Come on...we get to see the cubs today.." he said excitedly. He shook Taka some more and he slowly stepped towards the entrance of the den. He noticed his mother and father talking and he smiled at them, he liked to see how well they worked together. He made his way from the den and ran around his parents, "come on mom..lets goo...PLEASE." he begged with excitement.

When Ahadi woke up, he noticed by feeling that Uru was not there. Moving his head up, he opened his eyes, and after adjusting to the outside brightness, spotted Uru resting outside the den, watching the sun rise. Ahadi smiled at the sight of her, and got up. Deciding to let the boys sleep in, he padded over to Uru, yawing loudly as he tried to wake up. "Morning, love," he told her as he sat down by her. "You know, you looked magnificent, illuminated by the rising sun." he said as he nuzzled her.

"Today we get to spend another day together! And the cubs will finally all meet each other... I can already tell that it will be a wonderful day." He looked down at the lands, and spotted Mya and Sarafina down by the waterhole. "Look," he said, pointing with his paw to show Uru, "Looks like they are really eager." He frowned when he thought of a potential reason for the newcomer's eagerness. "Living alone must have been really hard on them," he muttered quietly. When Ahadi was still a rogue, he didn't have to take care of cubs. Mya and Sarafina must have suffered a lot in order to survive.

While Ahadi was thinking, Mufasa and Taka came up to them. Taka ran up to Ahadi playfully. "Hey dad, do we go now?" he asked excitedly. He could hardly wait to meet the other cubs.

Ahadi looked down at his sons and smiled. "I don't see why we should keep them waiting," he said. "Let's go get Sarabi and head down to the waterhole." he announced.

Taka let out an excited cheer and ran off to where Sarabi and he mother slept, Mufasa chasing after him.

Ahadi let out a small chuckle as his sons bolted off. "Looks like we will be exhausted by the end of today!" he told Uru.

[ooc: I think that I am controlling Sarabi, but I don't remember about her mother]

[Songo]

[OOC: Well you can just play Sarabi and we can say, that her mother was left behind in the den. That Uru and Ahadi will watch her.]


Sarafina spotted a butterfly resting on a yellow flower and she leaped towards it, her paws missing the fluttery insect. She grumbled and chased it around the watering hole, "Its fast.." she uttered side glancing towards her laughing mother.

"Maybe your slow.." she chuckled. Mya laid in the soft grass in the trees shade and she watched Sarafina play around. She smiled big and enjoyed the feel of the cool morning breeze.

Mufasa raced down to Sarabi's den and called her name into the darkness, "Come on we'll be late Sarabi. Hurryy!" he grumbled in protest. He heard Sarabi's mom's voice tell her to get going and he smiled. He ran up to his mother "Sarabi's mom said she could come.." he yelled with excitement. He put his two front paws on Taka's back as his brown eyes waited for the young Sarabi to emerge from the den.

Uru smiled at Ahadi's words, "Your quite the charmer you know." she whispered playfully. Her honey colored eyes flickered as she watched Taka and Mufasa impatiently wait for Sarabi to come out of the den. She noticed Mufasa was using Taka as a step stool, "Trying to get a better view ehh..." she said smirking to Mufasa.

Mufasa looked back at his mother, "No..I-uhh..Sarabi!" he said seeing a small shadow move in the den.

[DGFone]

Sarabi emerged from the den, and spotted Mufasa, propped up on top of Taka to be able to see better. Sarabi laughed at the sight. "Hi!" she said. "You boys are so weird!" She added. Mufasa blushed and got off Taka. She went over to the two boys and smiled as they seemed both excited and nervous at the same time. "So, we're going?" she asked.

Taka rolled his eyes when Mufasa climbed on top of him to get a better look. "So the great Mufasa needs his brother to see a girl?" he teased, but did not try to shake Mufasa off. When Sarabi emerged from her den, Taka smiled slightly. "Hey," he said quietly. Because truth be told, he was also excited. And nervous.

On top of him, Mufasa hopped off of him and ran over to Sarabi, excited. Taka chuckled, but also ran over to Sarabi. "Come on! We're going to be late! Last to the waterhole is a slug!" he called out, and immediately ran off past his parents, chased by the other two.

Ahadi grinned at Mufasa's climbing of Taka. But as Taka didn't try to shake Mufasa off, Ahadi didn't bother to tell Mufasa to get down. His grin widened when Sarabi emerged from the den, and the cubs ran off to the waterhole. He looked at Uru, who was trying not to laugh out loud. "So, shall we go down to the waterhole?" he asked her. She nodded and the two of them followed their cubs down Priderock. Ahadi then asked, "So, do we go together, or do we find out who's the slug?"

[Songo]

Mufasa watched Taka bolt towards the watering hole and he ran after him. He lowered his head and caught up with Taka, a big grin crossing his muzzle as he ran past his brother. "See ya Slug!" he called out and ran to the watering hole. After being victorious Mufasa noticed Sarafina and he smiled, "Hey Fina." he said politely and nodded to Mya who was resting in she shade.

"Hello boys!" Mya called out with a smile on her face. Her green eyes watched the cubs chatter and she just sat by watching them.

Uru licked Ahadi's cheek and smiled up at him, "I love you but...Im no Slug!" she teased pushing Ahadi with her two front paws. She raced off down the dirt path to the watering hole, she smiled reaching it before Ahadi could. She took a moment and enjoyed a quick drink, her honey colored eyes watching for Ahadi.

[DGFone]

Taka and Sarabi reached the waterhole after Mufasa did, but he ignored it. "Hey Saffy!" He called out. He then went over to the water to get a drink. By the time he was done, Sarabi and Sarafina were already talking to each other.

When she reached the waterhole, Sarabi saw the new cub. Trotting over, she saw that the cub was also a girl. "Hey, what's your name?" She asked. "I'm Sarabi." She said. Taka got over to them. "Oh, and that's Taka," Sarabi added.


Ahadi was caught off guard by Uru, so by the time he took off running after her, there was no way that he would beat her. So he slowed down to a more manageable pace, and trailed behind Uru. When Uru reached the waterhole, she went over to take a quick drink. This gave Ahadi an excellent idea. Lowering himself to the ground, he crept forwards, hidden by grass and weeds. Uru looked up for him, but didn't spot him. Excellent.

When he was close enough, Ahadi charged into her. This time it was she who was caught by surprise, and she didn't react fast enough to avoid him. Ahadi barreled into her, careful not to hurt her, but still propelling both of them into the water. He surfaced, laughing as Uru also broke the surface, gasping for air. "I love you too," he taunted. "But this slug's got you off-guard. Looks like the lioness is wet!" He called out to her.

[Songo]

Sarafina smiled at Sarabi, "I'm Sarafina, my mom and I just got here." she said with a smile. Sarafina looked to Taka, "Hey Taka. So can we all play now?" she asked curiously. Her green eyes watched Ahadi and Uru tumble into the water playfully and she smiled watching them.

Mufasa joined the group and sat beside Sarabi, "What should we play?" he asked out loud to the new group. He looked at them all and nodded, he liked the fact they were a even number.

Uru felt Ahadi charge her and she tumbled into the cold water, she felt her body sinking. Scrambling for the dry land Uru threw her body onto the water gasping slightly for air. Her honey colored eyes side glanced at Ahadi and she smiled, "Good shot." she grumbled shaking her fur. She felt the sun warm her chocolate pelt and she grinned with a idea. Stepping around Ahadi, she tackled into him. Pinning him into the cool grass once more, she licked his cheek and smiled. "Gotcha.."

Mufasa watched his mom pin his dad, "Whoa can she do that? She pinned dad...hes King." he protested watching them roll around.

Sarafina laughed, "She just did! Your mom's so pretty Taka, you have her fur color." she added with a smile. "I bet Sarabi could pin Mufasa...come here Sarabi ill tell you how." she said leaning into Sarabi's ear and whispering her the trick on how to pin him. "Do it.." she encouraged her.

Mufasa laughed and turned back to look at his parents, "I'm the future King, you can't pin me!" he laughed with a big grin.
