Guan continues to laugh as Reth tickles him, he rolls around on the floor laughing.

(ok back again Mwahaa)

A few days had passed after the Miale situation.
Miale was asleep peacefully on a rock outside his familys little den close to Pride Rock. He was starting come round as the first light hit the pridelands he stirred but didn't awake yet.

Twilight was asleep snuggled up to Shine in the den purring peacefully as they both slept. Shine's paws where lightly wrapped around Twilights neck as his paws where around her chest; both there tail intwined with each others.

The first light had struck Miale making him yawn tierdly and open his eyes; he rolled from his side onto his front watching the sunset

Starla oepened an eye, she was a little bit cold, and she moved near his parents, too be a little more warmer, trying not to disturb then, she lied down, purring a little but not trying to alwaye the others, curled up and continued sleeping for a bit more.

Miale watched the whole sunset from the rock before sitting up on the rock feeling a cold breeze blow across the lands making him shive and beat a hasty retreat inside the cave. He sat down at the entrance watching.

Twilight and Shine continued to sleep undisturbed.

Starla rolled on her back feeling the light entering to the cave, she opened her yes with a sleepy face and walked outside the cave, near Miale "Morning..." she yawned " asn she nuzzles a bit her brother " It was cold today inside there".

"Yeah it was" Miale replied shivering slightly before nuzzling his sister back "Guess you slept well?" he questioned as he sat down on his hauches "So what you got planned?"

"Yes...I have slept okay.."she said smiling a little "And well I don't know that we'll do...whatever the happy couple say" she laughed alittle pointing to their parents.

"They aren't going to be up for a while yet" Miale replied smiling at his mum and dad "They have been sleeping in quite alot the past few days....guess they been up to alot of stuff when we ain't been around" he smiled.

Shine began to slightly stir feeling a beam of sun fall onto her face. She sleepily opened her eyes and saw Miale and Starl outside talking; she turned to Twilight who still slept peacefully snuggled to her.
She smiled and nuzzled Twilight softly not trying to wake him before turning back to her cubs.
"Morning you two" she said quietly to them with a smile

Starla smiled seeing her mother "Hey there mum...how have you slept? IT has been a cold night." he said looking at her "Dad sleeps yet?"

"I've slept fine thanks Starla" she said smiling soflty to her licking her muzzle and nuzzling her daughter "Yeah it was kind of cold last night but I didn't notice as I'm snuggled up to your father" she smiled "You should of snuggled up to us if you where cold" she said smiling picking up Starla by the scruff and placing her on her paws licking at her fur.
"And yeah your fathers still asleep" she smirked looking at Twilight "I'm sure he will be up soon" she smiled.

"Morning mom" Miale replied padding up to her nuzzling at her paws.

"Morning Miale" she replied with a smile also and nuzzling him.

"Hehe I didn't want to be a nuisance for ya too, I thought that maybe you wanted some time alone, only you two" she smiled a little to her. "This guy sleeps a lot!" he said as she looked inside the cave as well.

"Its only because i tire him out" Shine replied smiling at Twilight before licking at Starla's fur again trying to clean her.

"Yeah dads great...last few days hes been sleeping alot more" Miale replied.

Twilight began to stir and opened his eyes.

" So you tired him...." said Starla as she couldn't avoid to laugh "I see..." she said looking at miale winking at him.

"Yeah" Shine smiled "Thats why hes been sleeping so much lately" she smirked and nuzzled Twilight who was begining to stir.
Twilight smiled over at his family as he opened his eyes "And what may I ask is so funny"
"Dad" Miale laughed and pounced on his paws

" Ohhh look the sleeping beauty has awaked!" said Starla grinning "How are ya lazyness?" she said nuzzling one of her father paws.

"I'm not lazy" Twilight smirked and nuzzled his daughter "Anway I'm fine" he smirked at her as he licked her cheek.

"Morning" Shine smiled and nuzzeled Twilight and licked him on the the nose. She turned to Miale and picked him up by the scruff and started to lick at his fur to.

"I don't need cleaning" Miale complained as his mother licked at him.

Starla smiled nuzzling him tightly " I was just kidding dad.." she purred.

"I know you where" Twilight smirked and nuzzled his daughter "Guess you slept alright last night?"

"Come on Miale you want to be clean if your ever going to find a nice lioness" Shine replied smirking at Miale as she licked at his fur.

"I'm never going to find a lioness they are so....annoying" Miale replied as he struggled to break free of his mothers hold

"Yes....very good...well it was cold there inside....I've moved nearer to ya two and it was a little bit better" she said smiling to him, and you?

"I slept fine I was all tired out" Twilight smirked as he shook his head slightly.

"You will one day Miale" Shine smirked "I can promise you that" she smirked and licked him on the cheek.

"We will see" Miale replied slightly annoyed nd jumped from Shine's grasp and onto the floor before sitting beside his sister.
