"Mom...c'mon. This isn't funny..." Reno laughed. he squirmed and jerked in his mother's arms, her warm, rough tongue brushing his little mane.
"Oh Reno. Baths aren't that bad!" Mara said happily. "If you wouldn't get so dirty, mom wouldn't have to clean you so often!" she laughed.
"Mara's right, Reno. Sit still. We're almost done." Nela said calmly, cleaning away the dirt on his face. "Done. Now let's go." She walked out of the hidden cave, Reno and Mara running ahead of her.
"We'll meet you there, mom!" The twins yelled in unison. Nela couldn't wait to bathe in the cool waters of the waterhole.

Star had been walking around the pridelands, exploring every tree and rock she could. She came to the top of a small hill, and looked out over it. The land past this hill was dry and barren, with little grass and water. She had been their before on her travels, and recognized it instantly. The outlands. That's where she had met Mheetu... her best friend. The two travelled together for a week or so, but one day, when Mheetu went to get some food, he didn't come back. She thought of how they use to play, and how she almost fell for him. She was only a cub then, after all.... she layed down in the grass and closed her eyes, smiling at all the good times she had spent with Mheetu.
Scout and Kara were near the waters and then Nela Reno and Mara run up. "Hi Nela Reno and Mara" Scout said happily.
