"Sierrah, come on" Sierrah woke to Max's small whispers leading her out of her den "What are you doing? Its so late" Sierrah yawned and rubbed her eyes droopily. "Lets go for a walk, i'm bored and cant sleep" Max jumped up excited and full of energy "But max, couldnt you choose a better time to go on an adventure.. Like when im alive!" Sierrah nearly fell over and slept but Max caught her "Sierrah, this is like the only time we get to see eachother. Remember? Your stepdad hates me" Hesitantly, Sierrah looked back at her den and then at max "Fine, where do you wanna go?" Sierrah began walking wonkily next to Max and he whispered in her ear
"Are we there yet?" Sierrah asked impatently "Yes actually, we're here" Max lifted a huge leaf for Sierrah to get through, she gasped at what lay before her. A beautiful waterfall crashed on the rocks below it, leading into a small, babbling brooke that entwined itself through small islands with beautiful whillow trees planted on them. "Max this is beautiful, how did you know this place was here?" Sierrah gazed up at the brightly shining stars and smiled "Oh you know, i get around" He crept up and tackled Sierrah, they rolled around in the tall, sweet grass, laughing and wrapping their arms around eachother. "I'm never letting go" Max kissed Sierrah softly "I never want you too" She laughed and rolled onto her feet. "Hey, where are ya going?" Max followed Sierrah into one of thw Whillow trees, Sierrah said nothing but chickled and dissapeared onto a higher branch. Max kept catching up but Sierrah managed to slip out of his grip every time, they laughed as they leaped from branch to branch, chasing eachother in the night. Finally Max caught Sierrah and they both fell out of the tree and landed on a soft patch of grass "Damn, you caught me!" Sierrah laughed her head off. "Yeah, i let you win" Max smirked as they kissed long into the night
Max awoke to birds singing and Sierrah burying her head into his mane, he flopped his head on the ground and smiled. "Hmm, Max? You awake?" Sierrah quietly asked. "Yeah, im awake" Max replied. They sat in silence for a few minutes until Sierrah suddenly jumped up "Oh my god! Its morning! My stepdad will kill me! I have to go Max, love you bye" Sierrah kissed Max and dissapeared into the morning mist "What am i gonna o with her" Max said to himself, drifting back to sleep. The dry ground stung Sierrah's paws as she sprinted to her den, hopefully her fater wouldnt be awake yet; but it depended on what time it was. She slowly crept in the den and lay next to her sister, Siennah, who was snoring away, slowly she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Sierrah, where were you last night!?" Sierrah's stepdad, Prince and the king of the pride belowed as Sierrah slowly opened her eyes "What?" She was confused because she couldnt remember "Last night you left the den, im not stupid!!" Fire and anger filled his eyes as he bared his teeth "Calm down... I went for a walk" Sierrah stood up and casually shook her pelt. Prince felt a little dfeated because Sierrah usually cowered "With Max? Was it?" Prince narrowed his eyes, Sierrah felt a rush of anger through her body and it blurted out her mouth "Yes! Prince i did.. I went last night on a date with Max, i love him and you cant stop that no matter how loud you yell!" Prince roared as Sierrah sprinted out of the den, "Sierrah you get back here!" Princes voice trailed off as Sierrah only looked ahead, tears ran down her cheek and on to the fast moving ground. She snuck into where she and Max had had their date the night before, he wasnt there. She closed her eyes but then shot off to where his den was. As she ran, a giant warthog ran out in her way "Stop, Stop!" It cried out as she skidded to a stop "Get out of my way" Sierrah swiped at the warthog before a small meerkat ran out, swinging his arms rapidly. "Oi, Oi leave poo Pumbaa alone! Come on, take me instead" The meerkat punched the air. Sierrah just looked at him awkwardlyshe said nothing but begain walking. "Hey hey kid, where ya goin?" The meerkat quickly stopped her again "Who are you?" Sierrah sat, knowing that she wouldnt be able to get passed them "The names Timone and this is Pumbaa...Now what are you doing out here?" Timone pointed to Pumbaa then focused his vision on Sierrah "I'm looking for a light brown lion with a darkish brown mane and stripes, i cant find him" Pumbaa put an excited look on his face. "Oh i saw him! I saw him! He came right past us this morning, i asked him where he was going, and he said to a cliff... What does that mean?" Pumbaa and Timone broke into an argument and didnt notice that Sierrah had already ran out of their sights.
Sierrah furiously looked every which way on every cliff she could find. She had searched the 15th cliff and slumped on a rock on the edge of one. "Max, where are you?" She yelled out. "I'm here" Sierrah jumped up and spun around to find the love of her life standing with a smile on his face. "Max!!" Sierrah pounced on him and they began to roll down the small hill that led away from the cliff. "Sierrah! I found you" Max licked the side of Sierrah's face and looked into Sierrah's different coloured eyes. Meanwhile Timone and Pumbaa were watching the happy couple from behind a big rock. "Aww now aint that cute!" Timone buried his head into Pumbaa's shoulder and began to cry... Sierrah and Max smiled before slowly dissapearing into the sunset..
