*Zira's POV*

Night...

"Scar?" I call.

Scar step out of his den. "So, what did your family say?"

"My mother doesn't mind. She completely understands and told me to go on."

"Hm. Well, come on in! It feels pretty chilly tonight."

I nod. I follow Scar in his den. It's a nice size. Not too big or small. Just right! I was so busy examining the den, that I didn't pay  attention on what's in front of me. I accidentally kick a leg bone.

Scar chuckles with embarrassment, "Sorry, I forgot to clean my mess earlier."

I sit. "It's alright."

Awkward silence fell.

Scar laid down clearing his throat. "Um, feel free to make yourself home. My den is yours."

I lay down also across from him. "Thank you. Does Mufasa know I'm living here in the Pride Lands now?"

"No. We'll both tell him in the morning."

I didn't say anything but nod and lay my head down over my front paws closing my eyes.
********
It's been a week now since I've moved in Scar's den. Each day I notice how close we've gotten. We help each other hunt. When ever Sarafina is around, Scar makes her easily jealous. Life so far for me has been good.

"Zira?"

"Yes Scar?"

Scar met his green eyes with my red ones. "I was thinking, what if we make up our own pride?"

My eyes widen. "Pride? Scar, that's a lot of responsibility and hard work. We have to get lions to join. Not to mention we have find a place too. I don't know anything about ruling."

"Relax Zira, I can give you lessons on how to become a strong leader. My father always gave Mufasa and I lessons when we were cubs. It'll be easy!"

"Okay. When do we start?"

Scar smiled. "Now if you want?"

I smile back nodding. "Now would be good."

"To be a leader you MUST be confident, firm but kind, become an expert, be decisive, keep your promises not letting the pride down, treat your pride well, show commitment, and make decisions."

"Okay."

Scar circled around me. "You seem to meet the standards already. Your always firm, nice posture, and show great loyalty. Most of all Zira, your beauty."

"My beauty?" I question.

"Yes. You'd make a beautiful Queen."

I blush looking down at my paws. Scar lift up my chin. My eyes met with his own. I stare deep inside them. Nothing but love I find.
