Sienna eyes lazily watched the herds grazing away, chuckling softly as the larger males of the various groups keep a wary eye upon her. They knew she wasn't going to hunt anytime soon, but they couldn't help but stay on their toes. That was fine by this lioness, they weren't bothering her and she wasn't trying to kill them. It's the way things worked around here. Black lips parted as a yawn split her jaws open wide, a low groan escaping the back of her throat in the process.
Today was just like any other day really. The herds grazed themselves fat, the grass vibrant and green, herself out-casted by the pride as usual. Turning her large, tawny head to the right, he rested her reddish brown gaze upon the mighty form of Pride Rock. It stood a mere hundred meters from where she lounged, knowing no one would dare venture here.
Afterall, this was the famed Ghost Rock. The lioness specifically chose this small kaopje knowing everyone steered clear of it. Supposedly, it was haunted by the ghosts of slain rouges, but she knew better. Jealousy tinted her sight as she glared softly toward the Pridelander's central control. She should be right with her pride sisters, sitting with them at The Shade and gossiping about the prides current dramas, watching her daughter playing with the other children. Tama turned away with a soft sigh, knowing wishful thinking would never get her anywhere.
Standing, the tawny female stretched out her body, groaning softly. Turning away from her den entrance, she ventured inside, shaking her pelt as she walked. A motherly smile curved her lips as she came to stand beside the sleeping form of a cub.
"Mattie, time to wake up.."
Lowering her head, she rasped her pink tongue across the child's head. Amber eyes blinked open as she gazed sleepily toward the lioness towering over her, a wide yawn signaling her awakened state. Scrunching up her face, she shook her head slightly before sitting up. The young lioness gazed up at her mother and grinned lovingly.
"Morning Mama!"
Rolling her body onto her paws, she stood up, trotting the few steps to her mother's forearm, rubbing her pelt along it with a purr. Mattie giggled as she felt Tama nudge her backside toward the den opening.
"Go grab some breakfast before you go romping around, I gotta go meet your father in the Western Hills. Stay out of trouble hon, and keep away from that Kiara brat..."
"Yes Moma...," the cub said obediently to her mother before bounding outside.
However, Mattie wouldn't listen to Tama, and right after she finished her share of last night's kill; she went looking for Kiara. After wandering around Pride Rock for a good twenty minutes, she couldn't find the princess anywhere. Hmmm, probably out with her dad or something, the cub thought to herself. Walking over to a boulder, she leapt atop it to think of what to do today.
She couldn't pester her mother, because she wasn't allowed to go near the Western Hills without her. That was the only rule she ever obeyed, because if anyone found out her mother secretly went to see her father, her mom would get in lots of trouble.
"Ugh, there's like...nothing to do.."
It seemed the Kings were on her side because just then a playful growl reached her. Perking her pale brown ears high, she jumped off her rock and quietly trotted toward the source of the sound. Coming face to face with another boulder, she peeked her head up, her amber eyes focusing on the figure in the clearing. It was another cub, her friend Nyasi. A sly smirk spread across her face seeing the tawny cub was alone, chewing on a stick that she made her toy for the moment.
She knew Nyasi well enough, her mother was close friends with Mpenzi, the blue-eyed girl's mom. However, it wasn't often that Mattie was able to play with her, due to her mother's uncertain position in the pride hierarchy. The pale brown cub chuckled softly to herself, carefully climbing up on the large rock. Lowering her body close to the boulder, she wriggled her bum in the air, her tail lashing about behind her as she readied herself for the impending pounce she was going to assault Nyasi with.
Tama taught her well, being the best huntress in the savannah. Mattie knew how to be as quiet as a mouse, to strike as fast as a cobra. 1, 2...3! She suddenly pushed forward, up off the rock, propelling her body into the air. Her paws splayed wide, she smirked as she descended upon the unsuspecting cub, her ominous shadow covering her tawny pelt. Right before she made contact, she shouted out.
"Hey Nyasi!!"
"Wha-OMPH!"
Mattie successfully glomped her friend, giggling hysterically while Nyasi shrieked from surprise.
"Thamani Matumaini! Gaah, get off!!"
Mattie groaned at the usage of her full name, what a mouthful that was. Rolling off, she layed beside Nyasi, a mischievous grin slated across her maw.
"Morning miss grumpy pants!"
Standing, Nyasi shook her pelt before sitting with a glare, however her lips betrayed her with an amused smile.
"You'd be grumpy too if someone just came and randomly glomped you!"
"True, but whatever..what do you wanna do huh? I think Kiara's off with her dad or something, boring. And I mean, that stick can't be more fun then hanging with me!"
"So what if it is? Whatcha gonna do about it Mattie? Hmm?"
"I'll just sit on you again, ha! So yeah, mom went to go see dad again and I'm bored. Oh! I know what we can do!"
"And what's that?"
"Let's go to the Elephant graveyard! Mom said the hyenas left for better territory, so it's deserted! C'mon!"
"Hm....well...alright, let's go!"
The two girls got up and raced each other to the elephant graveyard, giggling all the while. Stepping out from behind the largest boulder, Nyasi's mom Mpenzi chuckled softly, watching the cubs trot off.
"Like mother like daughter...Tama must be proud..."

This takes place during the second movie, when Kiara and Kovu are still cubs. The bottom cub is Tennie's fursona, Nyasi and the one about to glomp her is my version of Tama's daughter, Thamani Matumaini Thah-mahn-e Mah-too-mye-nee, it means "Precious Hope" in swahili; but she's called Mattie for short. :3 So yeah....enjoy? Lols, that story was so weird to write because in our rp, Nyasi is Tama's best friend, however seeing as I don't own Tama, I hada use her daughter xDD Pic is named after the charries name meanings xDD
