Simba smiled. "Yes, they have. It's certainly good to see her with someone as nice as him." He nuzzled Nala under the chin. " Should I tell them now, as we have the whole pride together?"

Nala nodded. "Yes, unless you think it is not the right time," Nala responded.

Sinabi narrowed her eyes as she saw her mother and father speaking amoungst themselves. She turned to Nimbala and nudged him with her shoulder. "What do you think this is about?" she asked just as Kovu and Kiara joined the semi-circle. She frowned. "Oh, of course."

"Yes. It's time. We're both getting to old. I can barely keep hyena's away from our meals anymore, let alone fight against other, more powerful pride leaders." He licked his mates cheek. "I'm sure evrything will go according to plan."

Nimbala sighed. "I don't think we're going to like this sis..." He looked at his parents. Both were looking at Kovu and Kiara, almost lovingly. Nimbala looked at his sister and frowned. "I don't think we'll like this at all..."

Sinabi glared at Kovu and Kiara, a growl rising in her throat. Her shoulders tensed and she dg her claws into the ground. "No, we won't," she growled only loud enough for Nimbala to hear.
----
Nala nudged him. "Well, go ahead, Simba. Tell them," she said, encouraging him.

Nimbala chuckled. "Go get 'em tiger!" He understood how she felt. The twins had been forgotten time and time again by their parents because of their 'precious' little Kiara.

------------
Simba sighed nervously, then cleared his throat. The whole pride turned to face him.
"Now, it's time I let you all know what this meeting is about." He looked a Nala nervously, she nodded at him, and he continued. "Me and Nala have been thinking, and have come to the decision that our time as rulers has set here, and it's time we found..."he paused.

Nimbala and Sinabi looked at their father suspiciously. "Dad?" Nimbala whispered. Simba cleared his throat once more. "It's time a new King and Queen ruled the Pridelands. The pride all looked at Simba in shock.

Sinabi sighed deeply. She lookd at her mother and father sadly. Couldn't they understand that Kovu wasn't right to be King? And Kiara probably couldn't handle it either. As much as she wanted to be queen, she thought that Nimbala was the best choice. After all, he was Simba's son. She glanced around at the pride and noticed that Eru, a member of the pride who was cousins with her father was looking at her questioningly. Sinabi shuddered. It was like the scared lioness could see through her. Eru remained silent and soon she moved her gaze to Simba and Nala. Sinabi flattened her ears when she saw pride and happiness gleam in Kovu and Kiara's eyes.

Simba continued. "Nala and I have come to the decision that Kovu and Kiara are best suited to this role."

Silence.

Nimbala was horrfied. Without even thinking he jumped out to the middle of the circle. A loud growl rumbled down his throat like thunder. "How...how could you do this to me, to us?" He looked over to Sinabi. "We are your children, Father, and surely we come before a retched outsider and our spoilt older sister!" Kiara gasped and Kovu stood up infront of her, a snarl rumbled inside him.

Simba looked a Nimbala in disgust. "Nimbala. Our decision is final. Your sister is older than you, therefore she is first in line to the throne." Nimbala growled even louder. Kovu then spoke up. "Maybe you should respect your father's decisions, eh, Nimbala?"

Nimbala walked up to Kovu angrily and growled in his face. "You're not to become King. You don't belong here."

Sinabi stared wide-eyed and her mouth hanging open.

Sinabi shot her her paws and stood next to her brother, growling at Kovu. If the outsider attacked, she would attack him back. She braced herself for the fight and growled when he spoke to Nimbala. "Don;t you talk to him like that!" she spat at him, bristling with anger. Some days she just wanted to swipe Kovu across the muzzle and silence him.

She glanced at her mother. Nala stared at her cubs in horror and leaned in closer to Simba. "Simba, please." she begged him. Sinabi looked away, not wanting to look at her parents. How could they do this!

Nimbala smiled. He was so happy that Sinabi stuck up for him. It was like they were on an adventure together just like they were cubs again. He shook his head and looked back as his parents. "Please, father. Reconsider." Simba sighed and looked at Nala. "What should I do Nala?" he whispered.

Sinabi looked at her parents. "Yes, please father." She could hear murmurs from the pride but she ignored then.

Nala looked at Simba, her blue eyes teary. "Simba, perhpas your should reconsider. If our cubs want a chance to be the ruler of the Pridelands, then let them. I'm sure you don't want another Scar insedent." she whispered the last part.

Simba sighed. "Give me time to think it over." And with that he walked out of Pride Rock.

Kiara called after him, but Nimbala stopped him. "Let Dad make his own decisions."

(Sorry just got to eat my tea. I won't be long though :3)

Nala rose to her paws and stalked after Simba.

Sinabi watched them leave but her attention focused on Nimbala when he spoke. "Yeah, let him deside on who is fit to rule the Pridelands," she said, glaring at Kovu. Sinabi looked around the as the pridelanders began to break into little groups and murmur, shooting glances at her and her siblings. She glanced at Kiara one last time and shouldered Nimbala away from them. "Come on, lets go out for a bit." she said as she led him down towards the savannah. But then Keisha stepped in her way. She saw Fisadi stalk towards them out of the corner of her eye.

(I have to go though. D: I'll be back in like three hours. Can we continue then?)

Nimbala watched as Fisadi walked towards them.

Fisadi nudged Keisha on the leg. "Hey Keish. Maybe we should give them some family time, eh?" Nimbala smiled and winked at his friend. "I'll talk when we get back Keisha, don't worry." Nimbala said to reassure her.

(That's fine, I should be on then ;D)

Sinabi felt relieved. She glance at Fisadi as he began to turn away and she nodded, thanking him. She turned to Nimbala and continued to walk. "Where do you want to go?" she asked him.

"I don't know. Anywhere away from them." He turned and scowled at Kiara and Kovu, who ignored his digusted looks towards them.
