"N-no!" Milo shouted. He ran off to find Hali. When he did, he took he to the same place that he did when she kissed him.               

            "Lono is the future king." he grumbled. "Oh."  Hali said, disapointed. "I was thinking, maybe we could run away, and start our own pride when we are teens." Milo remarked. "Hmm, not a bad idea. But won't our parents miss us?" Hali wondered. "Yeah, but think. We can be king and queen of our own pride!" Milo said. "Yeah, I guess you're right."  Meanwhile, Lono told Zene the news. "Will you be my queen?" Lono asked her. "Sure!" she volountered. More time passed and Lono, Zene, Milo, and Hali were now teens."Well, not long now till we rule!" Lono said to Zene. "Nope.I can't wait!" "Me neither."

            At the Waterhole, Milo and Haligot a drink. "Ready to go?" Milo asked her. "Yeah." Then they left in search of their own pride. Hours later,Milo cought a glimse of a pride they could start, it was a big savannah that snows a lot. "We'll call it, the Snow Pride" Milo said. "Good name." Hali said with a smile. Lionessess saw the new pride and joined it. Male lions, about 4 of them, also joined. Milo smiled. He had gotten his wish!At Pride Rock, Vitani was calling out Hali's name. "Kovu, have you seen Hali?" she asked Kovu. "No, but have you seen Milo?" "No, did Simba notice yet?" Vitani asked.  "Yeah, but I told him he was with Timon." Kovu said. "There is a murderer going around the Pride Lands. Do you suppose...." Vitani stoped herself. "I hope not."                 

        Simba came over. "Kovu, he's not with Timon. Where is he?" Kovu gulped. "Simba, he's.... missing." Kovu said. "Well, we have to find him! Vitani, what's wrong?" Simba asked. "Hali's missing to. I am not sure, but Milo had offered her to be queen when they grew up. With Lono and Zene ruling, they might have started their own pride."Simba couldn't believe it. Nala walked out and nuzzled him. "We'll find him." Simba sighed. "I hope so. Kovu, you head to the outlands. Vitani, you hang with him and shout Hali and Milo's name. Nala, let's head elsewhere." They began looking. At the Snow Pride, Milo had found some cards and were playing black jack with everyone in the pride. Milo had fed everyone bugs and they learned to love them, like he and Lono did. 

         Now, they wrapped up the game. Milo had won three caterpillers. He ate them and laid down with Hali for a nap in the sun. Night fell and Simba, Nala, Vitani, and Kovu met up again. "Any luck?" Simba asked. "Nope. you?" Kovu replied. "No. We'll have to look again tomorrow." Even more time passed and now, Lono became king of the Pridelands. Everyone had to asume that Milo and Hali were dead. That brought greif to everyone in the Pridelands. Especially Simba,Vitani, and Timon.

              At theSnow Pride, Milo had a thick mane the color of grey. Hali had grown very healthy too, and they were expecting cubs. Things have been going well for many years.  Simba felt a gust of wind and heard a secret message. "He's alive." Simba ran into pride rock. "Nala, I have to go. I'll be back." He ran off and fell into a giant river. He was saved by a strangely familler lion. "Are you okay, sir?" 'I know that voice!' Simba thought. "Yeah. Have we met?" Simba asked him. "I think so." The lion said. Just then his mate came over. "Are you coming or what, big lump? Your children are about to be born!" "Yeah. Hold on a minute dear." the lion said. "Milo, who is he?" Simba turned to the lion. "Did she call you, 'Milo?'" Simba asked. Milo replied, "Yes, are you from Pride Rock?" Milo asked. "Yes!" Simba yelled. "Dad?" Milo asked. "What are you doing here?" Simba asked. "This is my new pride. I have been ruling for years. Now, come on! Do you want to met you're new grandchildren?" Milo asked. "Yeah!" Simba exclamed.

            There were twins. A boy and a girl. "Let's name the boy, Timon." Milo said. Hali chuckled. "Okay. Who is you're friend?" Milo laughed. "Hali, this is my Dad. You know, Simba!" "Oh. Simba! You've gotten... older." Hali said. "Hali? You mated with Milo?" Simba asked, confused."Yeah. We've been in love since we were cubs!" Milo answered.. "Let's name the girl Vina." Hali said. "Okay. Vina's a good name!" Milo said. "Milo. We need to go home." Simba said. "And leave my good pride behind? Fat chance! I am grown now. I can make my own  decsion s now!" Milo said. Simba sighed. "You're right. But everyone misses you. If you don't come home, everyone will not know you're alive. They think you two are dead." Simba said, looking Milo in the eye.

             "I have a family now, Dad.  Please, they can visit me if they want to." Just then, a lion came in. "Milo, sire, the Hyenas are here!" he said. "Hali! Get the cubs to safety!" Milo said. "Dad! Go home, I have to fight the hyenas off!" Milo told Simba. "Milo, they'll kill you!' Simba responded. "I'll be fine. Go!" Milo ran out. He came face to face with Shenzi, Bonzai, and Ed. "Which one of you should I fight first?" The hyenas jumped on him. Milo managed to hold them off. Milo bit their necks and legs. The hyenas ran off in pain. He went over to were Hali was and  sat down. Simba was still there. "Son, can you just come visit for a while?" Silence. "Okay." Milo responded. He had a deep but in hid leg. He licked it and got up.

              He, Hali, Timon the 2nd, and Vina walked to Pride Rock. Rafiki jumped down from his tree. "Heh, heh. So the powerful Milo and mate Hali returns!" Milo chuckled. "I've got my own pride, now. I'm just visiting." When he entered Pride Rock, he sat down the cubs. They were almost a month old now, since the trip took about a 6 weeks (Pretty far, huh?). Zazu was the first to notice themm. "Vitani! Nala! Kovu! Milo and Hali are alive!" he shouted. The three ran out. Vitani nuzzled Hali, Nala nuzzled Simba and Milo, and Kovu greeted Milo.

            Timon ran out and hugged Milo and Hali. "Timon, meet Timon the 2nd and Vina." Milo said. "Named one after me, huh." Timon smiled. "Yeah. You are my best friend. Wait, speaking of best friends, where's Lono? He is king, right?" Milo said. "Yeah. He is in there." Kovu said, pointing to a cave. Milo walked in. Lono was laying down, smiling at a cub in Zene's arms. "A girl." Lono repeated. He jumped up when he noticed Milo.  "Milo! I thought you were dead!" he shouted before running over to him. "I started my own pride. I am the king of the River Pride." He said proudly. "Looks like we both got our wish." Lono said with a smile. "This is Zecko." Lono said, pointing to Zecko. ""These two cubs are Timon the second, and Vina."  Milo said, stroking Vina. "Remember when we were cubs and I said I wasn't in love?" Lono asked. "Yeah." Milo answered. "Well, I am now." he said, nuzzling Zene. The next day, Milo, Hali, and their two cubs returned to the Snow Pride. Everything was perfect.
