'Are You Following Me??'

Solomon: "Are you following me, Jioni?"

Jioni: "Crap...I mean, uh...um... no Solomon I was not! I was going out for a hunt and somehow we've both met up in the same area."

Solomon grins and says, "You know these aren't the hunting grounds, right? That would be the other way."

Jioni sarcastically laughs and says, "Oh yeah, haha silly ole' me!"

Solomon rolls his eyes and helped the lioness up to her paws. "Jioni, what are you really here for?"

"I wanted to see Solo if you are really going to help the others battle the Oasis Pride...I heard it from the lionesses, but I did not want to believe it. So its true?" she asks, concerned.

"Yes. But you need to go back home where it is safe. Don't you worry about me! I will be fine, I've trained for years as you know..." he said.

With that, the male ran off to go complete his tasks for his mother, the Queen. Jioni of course declined his request and runs back home telling the Queen that she will join in the fight.

(So, this scene takes place way before Jioni, Arafa, and Niara ambush fight in Wild-Fire's image of page 1 ^ ^).
