Akito and Estelle in Simba's Pride

chapter 13

Meanwhile, just outside of Pride Rock...

"Love seems to be in the air..." Estelle said.

"If only I had Chip..." Felicity pouted.

Estelle seemed to whistle innocently after Felicity mentioned that name.

Felicity then looked to her cousin. "What... Did... You... Do?" She soon got her answer as a pair of paws covered her eyes. "Heeey! Wha...?"

A blonde furred cub with midnight blue eyes with a sheepish grin with a slight chip in his fangs was right behind her. "Guess who?"

"Chip?" Felicity smiled.

"Yes!" the blonde lion teenage cub came in front of her with a smile.

"Chip, what are you doing here?" Felicity asked in surprise. "I was not aware you had access to Pride Rock," She then heard Estelle continue whistle innocently which gave her the idea of how Chip got there. "Estelle?!"

Estelle smiled sheepishly. "It seemed like such a lovely day today, I'd hate for you to be left out..." she said. "I have Lee, Vincent has Jenny, Akito has Emi..."

"Well... Merci beaucop." Felicity then smiled softly to her cousin.

"You're welcome." Estelle smiled.

Felicity blushed.

"Well, looks like I can be on adventures too." Chip chuckled.

"It looks like a lovely night, I bet it won't even rain." Felicity looked up to the sky as the sun was setting.

"I bet you're right." Chip smiled.

Estelle smiled at them both before having her eyes covered by a strong lion. "Lee..." she then giggled slightly.

"Dang it." Lee groaned playfully.

Estelle smirked to him and he smirked back. "It's such a lovely night," She then said. "We should look at the stars."

"Agreed." Lee smiled.

"I love watching the stars myself." Jenny said as Vincent was practicing painting the way Rafiki had taught him.

"Same here." Vincent said while he was practicing painting.

"You're getting better." Jenny smiled.

"Thanks," Vincent replied. "I think I like brushes better though."

"Yeah, but then how would you learn to do painting without them?" Jenny asked.

"I know, I know." Vincent chuckled as he finished to show that he had painted them together in their lion forms.

"This is such a beautiful night." Emi smiled as she leaned her head against Akito's shoulder.

"A very, very beautiful night." Akito agreed as he held her with a smile.

"So, how's it going with Pupitar?" Emi asked.

"Getting stronger every day," Akito said. "I think he'll evolve soon."

"I hope so, he doesn't really seem to like how he is." Emi said as they both saw Pupitar stare at his own reflection.

"No, he doesn't..." Akito agreed. "He's been in a good mood before, but whenever he checks himself out like that, he just gets discouraged."

Pupitar began to look agree as he started to attack his own reflection in the water.

Akito came over to his Pokemon. "Aw, Pupitar, it's okay..."
