Everything was going well with Uzuri and her family. She had her family, her daughter, and her mate. Even if her mate used to be, a crazy psycho, that killed his own brother, and ruled over the land with tyranny. But, all of that seemed to be a myth now. He's actually quite timid…well at times he is. Anyway, she felt very content, even if she does have an extra baby to take care of. Yep, she had a perfect family, perfect lodgings, and a perfect life.

A voice yelled, "Mom! Taka keeps on bothering me!"

You know if a perfect life actually existed in this world. It was 12 at midnight, when her now teenage daughter, Journey called for her. Also, Taka was the new baby in the family. Uzuri and Scar gave him that name; he looks exactly like is father. The only difference is his cheetah tail, which is still a dark brown color. Anyway, Uzuri's eyes opened slowly. She looked around and saw Taka teething Journey's tail.

She yawned and got up to get her son. Uzuri whispered, "I don't understand why you didn't just take him off."

Journey rolled her eyes and went back to sleep. Her mother groaned, "I didn't even act like that when I was a teenager."

She went back to her spot and lay down. Taka got put up next to her stomach. He went to sleep fast. She smiled at him and went to sleep. Right when her eyes closed, Journey's eyes shot open. She looked at her mother and went out of the den.

The sun was not even over the horizon, yet there was a bit of light blue in the sky. Journey tiptoed down Pride Rock. Trying her best not to wake anyone up, she didn't want to wake up two lions: One, Simba king of Pride Rock and Two: Her father, Scar. It's like those two meet up to make punishments. She especially didn't wake them up now. Well, because…

There was a call at the base, "Journey, are you there!"

Uzuri hissed, "Be quiet, Jasiri (Jasiri means brave in Swahili)."

When she got down to the base, there was this somewhat muscular lion. He had black fur, an equally black mane, and red eyes. She lovingly licked his cheek. He returned the gesture by nuzzling her. The two looked up just to make sure they weren't being watched, and left Pride Rock.

Next morning…

Uzuri woke up and looked at her son first. He was still there. Check. Then, she looked to see if Journey was there. She gasped when she saw the empty space. Trying her best not to panic, she ran outside to see if she's there, of course with Taka in her mouth as well.

Unfortunately, she wasn't outside either. She took a deep breath, "Okay, Calm down, Uzuri. There's no way she left Pride Rock. What if she did though? Was it something I said? Or is it….her boyfriend, Jasiri."

It finally dawned on her. That was probably it. Those to have been together when they were cubs, surely it wasn't a big surprise that they fell in love. The only problem was that Jasiri always dragged her into trouble. Oh no, Uzuri didn't care, as long as they were unharmed. It's Scar that's the problem. A few days after Pori death he's been overprotective over Journey. It really wasn't necessary though. But, there was no way to convince him.

Uzuri finally calmed down and went down to look for her mate. She only took a few steps until, someone called her, "Uzuri!"

She turned around and saw Scar running towards her. "Oh, I was about to go looking for you." She explained.

She put Taka down on the ground. Scar asked, "Where's Journey?"

Uzuri's eyes became the size of saucers. Instead of taking her time to panic, she should have taken that time to come up with an excuse. "I guess she's out with her friends." Uzuri lied.

"As long as she's not out with that Jasiri character, I've never liked him."

(A/N: It's because he's black isn't it? XD)

Uzuri asked, "Why?"

"I just have this feeling." Scar explained, "I think he's worse than he's good."

She rolled her eyes. She asked, "Are you sure you not exaggerating?"

He laughed, "You're asking someone who's been evil before."

Uzuri nodded in agreement. It's almost like she forgot all about it. She consoled, "Don't worry; she'll be back before you know it."

"I hope so." Scar finished. Uzuri just went on a walk. Voluntarily, Scar joined Uzuri.

Oasis area…

The two walked for 2 miles. Until, Taka whined to eat. So, Uzuri lied down and let Taka suckle. At times she would look up at Scar, who looked extremely nervous. She giggled, "Journey is fine. Stop worrying so much."

Scar didn't reply. Uzuri just shrugged and got relaxed. He decided to walk around the oasis. It seemed like a good way to clear his mind. As he walked, he saw two figures lying down by a tree. He just smiled at them. Then he stopped dead cold. He took a look at the figures again. He got down and crept closer towards them. What he saw made him growl, furiously.
