## Script

“And this is my favourite spot to just think!” Ni gave a smile, as he led Nadra to a secluded part of a small cliff that didn’t have a huge jump. Below them was a pond, that glistened in the moonlight. Different kinds of beautiful flowers surrounded the cliff and the pond below. Ni sat, and Nadra followed.

”This is a beautiful place, Ni.” Nadra smiled back, as she looked up at the Moon.

”I know right? No other lion in the pride knows about it. So it is the perfect place.” Ni replied. It hadn’t been a while since Nadra had joined the Grass Lands. She had came here immediately after her forced exile. Afua and Aisha were now crowned the King and Queen, and Nadra didn’t tell them while she had been exiled. The two didn’t know either, and just assumed that Nadra wanted to join their Pride. Tojo and Kula also had a new daughter, Timira. Ni, a lion that Nadra’s sister Nala had met long ago, lived here. He was the main one helping Nadra. He was also the only lion who she had told the truth about her exile.

”You know, you and your sister are very different.” Ni gave a small chuckle.

”Yeah.” Nadra nodded. “Most lions tell me that. They say that Nala is more strong-willed and courageous, while I am more quiet and gentle.”

”So, how is everything else, outside of comparisons.” Ni asked, his head turning to face hers. Nadra gave a sigh.

”It is hard. I didn’t even have a proper chance to say goodbye to Simba or my cubs. I think Kion probably knows by now. Kiara and Naba miss me, and Simba…he…and my cubs. Chaka and Shani were merely babies. They probably started to walk now and maybe even talk. They probably don’t even remember me.” Nadra looked down into the pond below.

”Yeah…” Ni sighed, looking down as well. “I wouldn’t know though, about all of this love and cub stuff though.”

”Didn’t you sire a few litters with lionesses?” Nadra looked up at him, with a confused look.

”I have.” Ni said. “I did mate with Diku, when I was visiting the borders of the Pride Lands to see what was going on since I had last saw it. And i also mated with a lioness named Shetani. I didn’t know much about her though.”

”Diku has three daughters with the rogue, you i guess. She named them Zari, Rozi and Jani. They’re excellent hunters, though they were never close to Kiara growing up, but still nice. Shetani is Zira’s much younger half sister. She was apart of Zira’s pride, but joined us. She has a daughter, Amandla. She looks a lot like Vitani. Amandla is more quiet, though. She helped babysit Naba a few times, so I think she would like to raise her own litter one day and become a Cut-Sitter.” Nadra explained, as Ni listened in awe about his daughters.

”That was certainly a lot of history about my family I didn’t know.” Ni spoke. Nadra nodded in response. The two just sat in quiet for the next few minutes, looking up at the Moon.

“That was looks like a Giraffe.” Nadra giggled, as she looked up at one.

”And that one looks like a Elephant!” Ni smiled, as he pointed towards another one.

”And that one looks like…a heart.” Nadra’s voice become hollow as she said the last part. Ni turned his head towards her, his face nervous.

”Hey Nadra?” Ni asked.

”Yeah?” Nadra turned her face to him,

”I gotta tell you something.” Ni looked at the ground. “Though I did know your sister before you, I only knew her for a few days, while I have known you for a lot longer. I have seen how you are. You are your own lioness. I like that. I..i’m trying to say…I love you, Nadra. I never have had love for any lioness. She did try to get me to start a pride with them, but I loved my rogue life too much. Not long after Scar’s Sprit was defeated, I moved here. I thought that I might as well spend my years alone. But then, you came. And I know you may not like me back, your life is already tragic, and I am sorry if this damages our relationship. I…”

”Ni…” Nadra looked into his reddish-brown eyes.”

”Y-Yeah?” Ni looked back into her blue eyes, his face blushing slightly.

”I…I feel about you the same way.” Nadra replied. NI’s jaw opened.

”B-but, why?” Ni looked at her.

”Because after what happened in the Pride Lands, I thought my life was shattered. I thought that I would have nothing else. That it was over. So, I just walked. I walked and walked until I got here. I didn’t realise that I had came here. You know the rest. You were the one mainly keeping me company. You showed me around. You were the one with me. You showed me that I could live again.” Nadra stated, her eyes still peering into his.

”And, I am not sure about Simba. I think that now, our marriage has officially ended, so me and Simba are not mates.” Nadra placed her paw upon Ni’s. Ni looked at Nadra. The two licked the other’s head.

”So, is this, like official now?” Ni asked, blinking in confusion. “I’m not use to how mate’s work.”

”If you want.” Nadra got up. Ni got up as well. The two began to walk back to the Pride.

”We can make it official to everyone in the morning.” Ni spoke.

”Yes, we will just have to tell Aisha the truth and-“ Nadra said, but stopped herself when she saw her friend Kula standing. Kula had been friends with both Nala and Nadra, but more so with Nala.

”Kula.” Ni smiled. “H-How are you?”

”Good evening isn’t it?” Nadra chimed in.

”It’s fine.” Kula chuckled. “Even though i think that you two were not loving each other? Simba is still your mate, right? And sorry for hearing your conversation. Let’s all just get to bed now.”

They all quietly laughed, as Kula laid back nex to Tojo, with Timira on Tojo’s mane. Afua and Aisha spelt together not far away. Ni laid down, and Nadra laid down next to him. They both placed their heads on top of one another, as they began to fall asleep.
