The little grey pelted male had been soo happy. He had been wandering on his own quite a bit, returning every night though, to make sure that he is home to guard mother.
His precious mother was the reason he lived each day. He felt a sort of closeness with her, that was a very strong bond.
He had met a cheetah, one that hadnt been related.. He hadnt known cheetahs that werent his cousins even EXISTED. It was a bit strange, though he quite happily accepted it.
His faded white paws, sunk into the thick mud, as he lowered his muzzle to the water. Carefully watching for alligators or anything that could eat him.
His pink tongue lapped the water greedily.
He was content.

The black and white male had desided that this was the day he was going to swim in the water. Though most lions were strange and hated it- he oddly had a fond taste for it. That and it made his fur look handsome when he finally got out.
Not even noticing where he was going he dove headfirst under the water and moved over to a bank on the corner. Then without warning splashed up infront of the cub as if he'd been a gator.

The little cub screamed as if the Gator had actually grabbed ahold of his paw and tried to take him under.
"AHH THE GATOR."
He screamed.
Closing his eyes, he threw his paw over his face to hide himself, having gotten far enough from the water to feel a bit better.
Oh what would he tell momma if he died? What would she do?!
"Dont eat me!"
He squealed, not looking with those big sapphire eyes that were closed and hidden under the paw.

"Whoah kid." He troded up onto the shore and shook himself off. "I've got not intention of eatting you." She sat there with his wet mane drooping over his eyes.
"And I'm not a Gator- I'm a lion....plus Gators don't live in Africa...those are Crocodiles." He smiled giving the already terrified youngster a science lesson. He then went about draining the water from his excess fur.
"Really I don't plan on eatting you...You don't have to hide from me."

The cub slowly lowered his paw, and gazed at the lion standing in front of him.
"That was awfully mean.."
He said with a narrowed brow, but the brow was quickly replaced with a happy cub.
"Im glad you werent a gator mister.."
Then he blushed only slightly.
"Well alls I know is they both have teefs.."
He said with a nod.
"I wouldnt taste good.. I dont think."
He said, focusing.

"I'm sorry little cub. I wouldn't have done that if I would have known you were there. My point in life isn't to scare youngsters." He grinned and started to groom himself.
"I'm glad I'm not a gator either. Gator are ugly creatures. They don't have the handsome looks of us lions. By the way kid. Whats your name? I think calling you 'kid' is rather rude. I'm Feleji." He smiled at him with kindness.

Chincha nodded a bit. Scaring youngsters couldnt be hard..so he didnt see how anyone could find much fun in it.
"Okay, thats fine.. Alls well I guess." He said with a little nod once more.
"Ive never seen a Croc.. But, I hear theyre mean reptiles. Mommy has promised to show me one soon, so that I can know what to fear."
He smiled.
"Momma calls me Chincha'Jibari. But she normally just calls me Chincha."
He said, flicking his little white tipped tail.

"Your a brave one to even get that close to a croc to see one. I think I'd be running off with my tail between my legs..." He nodded and looked over the kids coat. He'd be a handsome adult when he grew. "Your momma is right to make you fear them...one bite is all it takes."
"Though then again I'm pretty brave to be swimming in there home like that. But then again I like swimming in the water FAR to much to give it up for some old nasty Croc." He stuck his tounge out at the thought.

Chincha grinned widely. He WISHED he could be that brave. He wanted to swim in the water, and not fear the death that could follow..
What fun was it to swim if you died after?
"Well, you're big. You have more of a chance at getting away. One snap of me, and Im gone."
He said with a nod.
"Im like a snack."
He grinned, and stuck his own tongue out.
"Im not brave. Im a wuss, which is why I ran crying away when you scared me."

"I don't know about that- you'd probally get away before I did. You could always jump on the bliders head. I'd have to outswim him- and I'm fast...but probally not fast enough to outswim one of those green monsters." He sighed looking back at the water. "I could teach you how to swim if you want to be big and brave like me. But I wouldn't start in the river- you know the green guys are in there. I'd start you in a watering hole."
He nodded at the thought. "You game little one?"

He smiled, shaking his head a bit.
"I cant swim yet. Momma would kill me if I drownded."
He was his mothers protector, he wasnt sure that dying would be a good thing.
He smiled.
"But I chase butterflies!"
He said with a beaming smile.
"Er.. Not butterflies, but bugs.. I like to chase lizards and bugs."

"Your mom sounds wise- but if I'm there you won't drown. I've got s gold badge for saving youngin's from the water." He puffed out his wet chest with a laugh. "Though if you momma dosn't want you to swim then I'm on her side. She knows best- and well...I'm just a lucky stranger that happened to meet you."
"I'd be up for catching some creepy crawlers with you. I havn't done that since I was a young cub- like you." He beamed.

He jumped around a bit with an excited giggle.
"Oh yay!"
He ran in circles around the bigger male, almost seeming to dance.
"I love catching things. It makes me feel like a PRIME hunter.. Even if.. even if I dont want to hunt yet."
He said with a smile.
His little blue eyes lit up as he darted past Fel, as he had spotted a lizard sunbathing on a rock.
He ran after it.
"Ill get you!"

His face lit up into a smile as he watched the little cub running after lizards. This is why he wanted to have kids of his own. They were so happy and playful. So eagar to just find trouble but so cute about it that you couldn't get mad at what they did.
"Oooh catch it! It looks like it's going to get away!" He got up and followed slowly behind the little cub, just incase he needed the help of a bigger lion.

"Oh no he wont!"
Said the determined little cub and then he let out a loud battle cry, before diving onto the lizard.
He wasnt sure if he got it, until he lifted his head, and the lizard dangled by his leg in the cubs mouth.
It squirmed frantically, caught tightly between his jaws.
"I 'ot 'eet!"
He squealed.
Then he swore he heard his mothers voice.
"Oh dear..Mommas calling me."
He smiled, waving.
"Bye Feleji!"
