"Thanks Tojo. The two cuddled and watched as Kula's father passed away in front of their eyes. Rafiki came in to late to save Duma. Paka went into heavy crying. As did Chumvi and Kula.

"How did this happen?" the king said in anger. "His Antelope seemed to have been poisoned The Baboon Hybrid said."Who or what would have done that?" Sarabi asked "And Why my husband?" Paka cried out. "Mufasa Zira and I saw a snake slithering away. We tried to get him but the sneaky basted slithered into a hole and disappeared." Scar said.

"Hmm That Snake is probably long gone by now so there's no reason to catch and trie the thing." Mufasa thought out loud. " I am dreadfully sorry Paka, Chumvi and Kula. We will have a funeral immediately.'' "Zazu" "yes sire" have arrangements for a funeral." Also I want Bluey and his friends to join you for the Funeral arrangements. "Yes Sire"

And so it went a funeral was arranged for Duma" Tama for the first time took a notice of the depressed Chumvi and decided to comfort him. Kula and Tojo cuddled each other as well as Simba and Nala. Paka was being comforted by the other lionesses. The Lionesses including Zazu and the birds started to hum Amazing Grace as Gofers were filling in Dumas grave. Mufasa and Sarabi then went to Paka and comforted her for her loss. Then they went to Chumvi who was with Tama. And put a paw on Chumvi. Mufasa then decided that he had to talk to Tojo.

Tojo who was still cuddling Kula saw the King approach them. " My deepest condolences Kula for your Loss. Your father will always be with you as long as you don't forget him."

"T-Thank Y-you Y-your Mag mag M-Majesty." Kula broke down in heavy crying.

There there everything will be fine Kula I am here Tojo said in soft voice.

"Kula if you don't mind I would like to talk to Tojo alone" The King asked

"Only if when you are done that Tojo may be with me tonight?"

"Yes Kula Tojo will return."

Kula bowed and left to find her brother and mother.

"Tojo!" The king said solemnly. "Yes your Majesty?

"I think its time I told you about your real father."

"M-My Father is alive?"

"Yes Tojo now come with me."

An: if anyone asks you will find out what I am doing in time.

Chapter 8 The plan commences

Tojo had learned who his real father is. It took three days for Chumvi and Kula to recuperate. Chumvi had spent more and more time with Tama in the last three days. Because of this Simba had postponed his inquiry of what was the shadowy place in the northern boarder to his Uncle Scar. Simba wanted to wait till Chumvi had recuperated. In that time Simba continued teaching Nala swimming.

Day four was going well for Nala and she had become a great swimmer. Chumvi was in a better state to continue what was planned before the tradigy. That midmorning Simba had decided to put the plan into motion.

Simba went to Scars back cave.

"Hey Uncle Scar guess what?"

"I despise guessing games."

"I'm going to king of Pride rock. And I am going to ruuule it all he he."

"Oh goody. Forgive me for leaping for joy bad back you know" Scar said sarcastically.

"Hey Uncle Scar when I am King what will that make you?"

"A Monkeys uncle."

"HA HA you're so wearied."

"You have no Idea. So your father showed the whole kingdom."

"Everything!" as Simba looks towards the lands.

"He didn't show you what's beyond the northern Border."

"Well no he said I couldn't go there."

"And he's absolutely right. It's far too dangerous. Only the bravest lions go there."

"Well I am brave what's out there?"

"I simply can't tell you"

"Why not?"

Simba Simba I only looking out for the wellbeing for my favorite nephew.

"Yeah right I am your only nephew."

"All the more to protect you. An elephant graveyard is no place for a young prince. "Opps"

"An elephant what? Whoa"

"Oh dear I said too much. I suppose you would have found out sooner or later you being so cleaver and all" Just promise me would never visit that dreadful place." "No Problem." "Theirs a good lad you run along and have fun and remember it's our little secret."

Simba runs out of Scars cave. Chumvi approaches Simba. "Did you find out?" Chumvi asked. "It's an elephant graveyard Simba whispers. "Whoa cool I inform Kula and you get Nala."

"Great I'll tell you guys about it later Chumvi." "Good luck Simba."

Simba runs down the hill to find Nala taking a bath. "Hey Nala I just heard about this great place." Simba Winks. "Simba honey I am kind in the middle of my bath." Nala winks back. Sarabi picks up Simba to give him his bath.

"And its time for yours." Mom your messing up my mane." As Simba struggles from his mother. Ok ok I am clean can we go now. Simba says in protest. "So where are going sweaty it better not be any place dumb. Another Wink "no its really cool. Simba's mom overhears what is happening. "So where is this real cool place?" "Oh around the watering hole" "Nala forgot her next line because she was acting. Simba gives a wink. "Oh uh mom can I go with Simba."

"Hmm what do you think Sarabi?" "Well" " "please!" the two say in unison it's alright with me." Simba and Nala cheer.

"As long as Zazu goes with you." Sarabi says

"No the Shit bird" the two cubs say in unison. "In that case since I have to be with Banana beak "I think I'll put on my new shades. Simba went to find his sunglasses. While Nala decided to put on her new Necklace.

Zazu leads the two cubs towards the watering hole and muttering something about sooner we get there the sooner they could leave. Simba and Nala were walking with there tails linked.

"So where we really going?" Nala asks in a whisper.

"An elephant graveyard." Simba responds

"Wow" she shrieks.

"shh Zazu"

"Right so what's the plan to ditch the dodo?"

"Stall Zazu till Chumvi shows up"

"How"

"I know"

Zazu notices the cubs whispering. "Oh just look at you two little seeds of romance blooming in the Savannah You parents will be thrilled. What with you two being betrothed and all." Zazu says.

"Be-what?'' Simba asks

"Betrothed, intended, affianced."

"Meaning?" Nala asks.

"One day you two are going to married." Zazu says haply.

"Really? They say in unison Simba and Nala give a quick peck when?

"Oh when you're much older." "And it will be all in full tradition" The hornbill explained.

"What do you mean full tradition?" Nala asks

" Well for one no Commoners allowed. Only royalty is invited. The bird said in huff

"WHAT NO COMMONERS?" the cubs said in unison.

"That's right, it's a tradition that goes back generations."

"Well when I am King that will be the first thing to go."

"Not so long as I'm around."

"In that case you're fired!"

"Hm nice try but only the King can do that. And those Sunglasses look ridicules on you!

Well he's the future King and I like those shades on him. Nala said.

"Yah Banana Beak, You have to do what I tell ya."

"Not yet I don't infact I think with an attitude like that your becoming a pretty pathetic King Indeed."

"Huh not they way I see it." Just then Chumvi Appeared out of nowhere.

"Zazu come quick Kula is injured." Chumvi screamed.

"Hmph" Chumvi Don't worry I'll get your mother" the bird said as he flew away from Simba & Nala. "You two stay their he shouted." As he was flying away with Chumvi running ahead.

Now's are chance lets go Simba said.

The two cubs ran to the boarder.

"Alright it worked." Simba said confidently "I am a genius." "Hey Genius it was Chumvi and Kula's Idea." "Yeah but we pulled it off" "With them." Oh Yeah?" Simba jumps and tries to pin Nala. "Ha pinned ya." Simba just laid there.

"Aren't you going to be wanting be let up?" asked Nala.

"Na I like this position"

"You're cute" especially with those shades on. Nala said as Simba grimed his famous smile.

"Well be better get going and win this stupid bet and prove to Chumvi were not chicken." Simba said as Nala let up Simba. The two ran down the hill that led to the elephant graveyard. Little did Simba and Nala know that Bluey and Sweetie were flying near by exploring.

"Whoa" The cubs said in unison

"This is a great place." Nala said.
