"Sylvia! What the hell happened!?" I screamed, running towards my sister. "I was attacked by a hiyena." She said before plopping down on the cave floor. Everyone quickly gathered around the injured cheetah. All of them began to ask questions. Eventually, the talking turned into a big loud mumbling noise. "Everyone SHUT UP!" She screamed. I snickered; didn't expect that. "One at a time please!" They orderly asked every question there was. Finally, nobody had questions. Once I was sure that she was ok, I went down to the watering hole to get a drink and away from the chaos. I got my drink and laid down with the tips of my paws, chin, and bottom lip in the water. "You look glum." I didn't have to look to know it was frayer. "Well wadda you expect? My sister was just attacked by a hiyena and almost killed." He sighed, then laid down a few feet beside me. I stared into the water. "What're you doing?" I sighed. "Thinking." "What about?" "Ya know, the future..." "what about the future?" He very slowly scooted closer; he was now against my back. I continued to stare into the water; thinking. I sighed. "Someday leading the pride lands, making the tough decisions, finding a mate...." "Am I in any of these thoughts?" 'More than you think.' "A couple..." I rested my head under his, then closed my eyes and sighed. Every one of the thoughts involved him. I had to accept it. I've fallen for him; hard. And there's nothing I can do. "Hey frayer?" "Yes?" "Why did you want to know if I was thinking about you?" He paused for a second. "It doesn't matter..." I moved my head to where I was looking him straight into the eye. "Yes it does. I want to know what's going on. I want the truth." He was silent for a couple seconds. "The truth is... I don't know why. I honestly don't. Whenever I'm around you I get all nervous and butterflies in my stomach." I knew what he was talking about. But I don't know if he does. "What're you saying?" "I'm saying.... I think I love you."
