Shinova waited patiently as Mio and Nova appeared to be asleep. He stretched out quietly and began to stroll outside the den. "Maybe Simba is still up." Shinova whispered. He looked up, right outside the den, to see a figure upon Pride Rock. "Simba!" he thought. Shinova began to sprint towards Pride Rock, when he saw another shadow upon the rock. "Who is that?" Shinova slowed as he pondered who it could be up there with Simba. "Maybe that it's Nala up there. It wouldn't be wrong to see her up there."
"Zira!" The name flashed through his mind as he saw her make a brake for it. "What was she talking with Simba about, and why didn't Simba just kill her?"
Zira, as Shinova thought, ran off, and he could hear Simba say "If you ever come back to the Pride Lands again you will pay with a pound of flesh!" With those words Shinova knew it was the wrong time to even attempt to talk to Simba; so he started to walk back to the Den.
