kiaras phone buzzed and an image appeared on her pgone of a staggeringly beautigul lioness ot rather her back end. this was Sudha crown orincess of Jamaicas lion prides and was probably the only lioness in the world whose talentd in the 'rear catergory' were a match for Kiara'ss. the two regularly called each other , it was easier than texting Sudha was calling with a update on how the Kamaica soccer teams were faring iin their respective World Cup qualifying ; Jey Kiara, this os your regularly scgeduled Thursday vooty call, er booty dial cakk, judfing from the big brown mass on top , I;d say you either lost a bet with Kovu or Sima, Im guessing Sima, because losing bets with your dark mane usually involves 'playtime' as payup. and i've called more than a few times during playtime so I know what it looks lke,, and sounds like..' Sudha giggled. "lets jusr say thar your boy would be.. extremely popular wuth the girls here and im not just talking lionessses, Ive gotten requests from pamtheresses cheetahesses, female monkets and even a couple girl maxaws. in other words you'd need a ;eash and a shock collar, as ell as steany jungle mud s[ray to hold off any er well wishers,' Sudha laughed "and thats just the hetero side, he also has a healthy folowing on the side ' As thhe old joke goes' Guys want to be him, girls wabt to be with him, and theb there re buys who both wabt to be him ANDbe with him" Sudha fiffled ' Yoi're luccky to have each other. I wish I was lucky in my romantic pursuits, vut im getting sidetracked. The guys are trying to grt to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, which was the om;y time theyve made the tpurnament, I remember that tournament, thry ere in the last group with Argentina, Croatia and Japan, We lost to Croatia 3-1, loost to Argentina 50-0, and beat Japan 2-2. We got a win at least, it wasnt like those times where a yeam makes the Cup for the first time and gets utter;y crushed in every game by 10-0 or worse and has like a0 -30 goal differential. We scored 4 goals abd gave up 8. The ladies have done better han the guy, perhaps not surprising since girls tournaments dont have the caliber of teams or the long history that th fuys do. Anyway, the girls team is trying to make its third Cup in a row Ut would be so much fun if both made it, hasnt happened yet but maybe that will finally happen abd i can thhrow 'watch partiesat the palace, You'd be invited of course along wth Kovu your brothers and anyone else you want to brin, like Sima, Fuli or Zuri. Just dont touch my stash of lioness scout samoas They're mine and I blame you for getting me adicted to them alongg with anything thhe lioness scouts make, like those strawberry covered marshmalow cookies with chocolafilling stuffed in the marshmallows. its like my younger brother Montego with sour cream and onion chips in a can. just as ge cant stop eatng those chips, I cant stop eating those cookies. My diet is in the dumpster and its all your fault.' Sudha laughd mirthfully, " you can make amebds by paying for lunch abd dinner the next time you visit,'
Sima peered down from her position inbeetween Kovu and Kiara and heard Sudhas chatting.' Greetings your highness, go to hear you again. normally id poke head in and say hi, but right now, thats not possible from the position I'm in or the position Kiara is in, what with me covering her up and Scarred One here pinning me diwn. If you guessed this was paying up a bet, well you are right. We bet on when Kovu would get back from a mission the wizard sent him on. I bet sooner than she did and i was right, well closer to the right tine. I had considered a pie fight or making her be a table that Kovu and I would eat dinner off of which happens a lot on Mawasii. i er had to be the dinner table for Vushu after losing a sumo bout to her" Sima admitted and Sudhas laugh was loud enoough that all three lions could hear it. " i can just picture her deliberately dragging it out by ordering dessert.' " oh she usually gets the Ozai Tower of Ice Cream which has at 24 different flavors- they let you pick them- complete with toppinggs whipped cream and cherries.' Curse you Sima, now I want to try that ice cream tower for myself.' Sudha giggled,' "the Ozai Mint Chipand tthe Ozai Peppermint Stick are musts ' Suma said.' Anyway, Vushu usually shares the ice cream with me after sges sampled all the flavors. im sticky and smell like ice cream afterwards, but as she says " If you dont want to be sticky, stop losing to me in sumo!" Sima laughed' Anyway I settled on me just being on top of her while Studd boy and I have some fun. Make that LOTS of fun,' How you and Kiara dont have 200 cubs between you already from the dark stallion stud in beyond me. Probably beyond your mom too, eh, Kiara Sudha smirked " She is probably droppig those oh so subtle ' where are those grandcubs? " hints, like my granddma on my dads side, except she uses more, er, colorful language>"
Ozai began his match with Flash, Mona and Zoai to thunderous applause and cheers ; smash them, great king! " Crush them' Wipe the ring with Ehen; anobg many others were heard. The three cubs grabbed on to Ozais legs to enormous boos, including Tigeress and Luca, their own mothers,' Boo louder mom! Flash grinned ' hes going to use move 7113 on us the leg kick and belly pin xombo. ' Nah, probably move 3006, the doub;e knee pin ' zoai said' its standard start off move in charity matches,' I just want to beat you girls ub the ' pinned fastest ' catergory" Mona said with a grin.' as it turns out boyh F;ash and Zoai were right as Ozai combined the two moves un a combo , crushing the three between both knees, the grins on Flash and Zoais faces were usually reserved for someone having their first kiss or, from a more mature view, someone accepting a marriage proposal, Ozai hit them adain with move after move, with the crowd loudly and glefully couunting up tthe seconds the three girls were pinned. pins of 30 or 60 seconds were coomon ' thats right' Ozai called out ' Fete me while I crush these weaklings" Ozai smirked aas the cheers grew louder ' no one can best me! Im the god of sumo! the crows cgeered louder with each boost taunt and move,
Vitani walked towards a glowing kiosk, a piece of glowing paper in her claws as sshe reached the kiosk, loud clawfalls reached her ears. She turned and came face to face with Kopa who was holding a stack of papers clear;yba long paper. from just the few lines Vitani was able to read, it was a lettr praising Kovu and extolling his virtues.' Whats that for? Vitani asked her mate with a grin.' Would you believe its far " Fluff Up Kovu day?' Kopa grinned ' NNice try, but that holiday is next Friday' Vitani grinned toothily before kissing Kopa tenderly on th lips. After fofteen seconds she pulled away and shot him a grin.' consider that a preview of tonight , my red maned kscle king" Youre not normaly this seductive Vitani. Is there.. certain news you're planning to tell me?' Kopa winked' No, if I was prefnant I would be doing at least 1 of 3 things. ! soewing my guts out into the toiletm 2, swearing about yiu for doing this to me wgile doing number 1 and 3. picking out cub names that I like. So, no Im not pregnant.' YYou're not pregnant.. YYET " Kopa said with a grin on his face ' Now, now, now dial ut down about 20 notches Romeo" vitani said, strokibg Kopas face " ill tell you when Im redy for that. Its night is coming vert soon , I ppromise, Now the paper Im holding is a application for Kovu to become immortal. Please dont laugh. He wants to ensure that Scar endures forever; You know how much being Scar like means him, and I would be remiss as his big siste if I didnt show that I cared about him. so Im turning in this application. Ok its partlyin jest, fine mostly in jest, as I dont rexpect a response, or, if I get one , it wille be a short " No" response." Vitani said. Kopa put the paper to the kiosk and page ny page it magically vanished After the last page vanished, Vitani put the application to the kiosk and ot tp vanished Within seconds an image of Tarrax appeared before them ' thank you for the application. it has been recieved .. and aapproved.' WHAT!' Both Kopa and Vitani shouted in unison as Tarraxs inage cguckled' Its been around 250000 years since we'v had such a quick approval. Which for Torna the dragoness godess of speed;n the only thing faster than her legs is her mouth ' Tarrax said ' I mean that in a good way, she has always viewed me like a mubh older brother. Tell Kovu his new powers will unlock the next time he armors up. My master will waaalk him through some of his powers. Some, because traditionally it is left to the god or godess to ddiscover their full abilities on their own. Hoever exceptions can be, and will be madde " Tarrax said ' Now , go inform the god of dark maned lions of his new status' Tarrax finished and the image vanished. Kopa and Vitani loked at each other ' My little brother.. and actual god? This is going to take some getting used to " Vitani said as she ran her c;aw over the bang in her headfur.' Ill buy him drinks and dinner tonight to celebrate. I wonder if extending mortal lives is something any goddess can do, or if that is reserved for a pecific god or godess' Kopa " your first thought after learning your co-king is a god is making your life longer? Typical king mindset, cincerned about legacy." Vitani shook her head.' Not for myself, but you, my mother and father ' KKopa clarified ' Wait, you'd want me to almost certainly outlive you?' Vitani blinked " You're weird sometimes Kopa. Thats not what most kings would do. Anyway lets go tell Kovu Kiara and Sima"vitani said as the pair headed up the stairs
Jabba yanked on the chain and pulleed :eia into a deep and very slimy kiss. with one huge claw he pulled Leia to him, with the other he gestured to the Hutt band to start playing music. As a lively tune began to play Jabba moved axross the room, Leia in his grasp and his covering her mouth , indeed her entire face with smile Jabba felt Leia her arms around him as they danced
