The day was cool, compared to most days on the Sahara. The sky was a grey color, like it was getting ready to rain. It looked as if a storm would be rolling in soon, the first storm in a while. The dry season was almost over, so this was normal, although it was a bit early for the first big storm. Valerius shrugged, it wasn't important.
Valerius had been thinking, about everything. He saved quiet, lonely days like this to think about his past and remember everything. Nobody would see him upset, nobody would question him about it. All the lionesses were hunting or sleeping, Kovu was with Riora, and the cubs were at Priderock playing. He was completely alone.
He wasn't paying much attention since he was so lost in thought. He managed to wander into the Outlands without thinking. As he took a step, he felt something hard crunch beneath his paw, and he jumped up in alarm. Lifting his paw, he saw white, crushed bone. He looked around, realizing where he was. Huge, towering white bones surrounded him; the Elephant Graveyard, the place where elephants came to die. He'd heard the stories from the cubs, of course, about the hyenas, and whatnot.
"Oh well...there's even less a chance of running into somebody here, might as well stick around.."
[/color] he thought to himself. A huge booming noise sounded off in the distance; thunder. There would be a storm today. He wondered if he should head back to the Pridelands or not. The 'family' usually liked to stick together during a storm. He glanced up at the sky, trying to decide what to do. [/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

We are not what you think we are... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nuka had been thinking awhile. How could he have just appeared out of nowhere? Not to mention, alive? He'd also thought about the boy. The boy by the name of Valerius whom his brother had adopted. The increasingly sexy Valerius. A perfect reality could be made from just looking at him. A perfect reality that could not be accomplished with a female lion.
Nuka's scraggly mane blew with the wind. Not only was it windy, but bluntly dry. So dry, it was almost unsuitable for life. But then, he noticed a small lion off it the distance. He was wandering, obviously a lost Pridelander. Nuka being undeniably curious about those type of things, lowered his hauches and began to stalk the other lion.
Nuka got bored of this game quite quickly. It was impossible to stalk something while you were covered in pesky fleas, which loved to suck your blood. He quickly got up and scratched behind his ear, a place where most of his fur was missing. and just like that, he popped up in front of the inquisitive looking lion.
"Valerius?" Nuka pondered aloud, eyeing the lion and slightly cocking his head. And suddenly, Nuka's heart flew. He was right in front of this hot little number, licking distance actually. "What are you doing here, love? [/b]"[/size][/blockquote] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We are GOLDEN! tag! VALERIUS notes! GAYLORD HOTEL! words! TWO HUNDRED EIGHTEEN else! NO

Thunder clashed again, and the sky grew increasingly dark, with rolling clouds. Valerius flinched at the sound. It was impossible to think with such a loud noise. He sighed. Maybe that was for the best, not being able to think.
He wondered if his 'family' was wondering where he was, looking for him. He doubted it. The only one who might notice his absence was Vitani, and even she was probably happy at home snuggling with the other lionesses, nice and warm and cozy away from the storm. He sighed again; that was his fault. He could make an attempt to bond, but no. He preferred having something to complain about, being the big bad loner kid. Oh well.
Suddenly, Nuka was in front of him. Nuka, Vitani's brother. He shivered slightly, his vision swimming a bit. He shook his head, clearing his vision again. "What are you doing here, love?"
Valerius flinched away from Nuka, using the word 'love'. He couldn't love Nuka. This had to be something else. Not only was Nuka an Outlander, Nuka was a boy. And Valerius was a boy. That couldn't happen, right?
"I uhm..got caught up in thoughts and wandered here. I uhm..should probably go now."
[/b] he said, searching for words. He couldn't think, could barely breath. He turned, about to go back to the Priderock. What would Kovu think? Then again, he'd never cared about Kovu's opinion much before, or at least he'd never shown it. But still...this seemed bigger than the other things. He tried to make his mind up; should he stay here and talk to Nuka, or go home?[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

We are not what you think we are... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nuka was a bit taken back. The lightening and thunder was discouraging, not to mention scary. "It's getting stormy. Why don't we go to my elephant skull? We wouldn't want you catching cold, [/b]" he implied, signaling towards a skull about thirty yards away. Being wet was never fun to Nuka. Plop. Nuka jumped a bit, startled at a plopping noise. Plip Plop. Nuka twitched a bit and smiled painfully. " We--we should get going now. It'd pain me to get--wet[/color]," Nuka blurted, still twitching. He had a small spasm and jolted about ten feet in front of them. He shook his head. The rain made him nervous. Plip Plop Plop. Nuka stirred. His head cocked to the side and he gritted his teeth. " MY treat," Nuka said, beginning to go crazy.

"It's getting stormy. Why don't we go to my elephant skull? We wouldn't want you catching cold."
Raindrops were beginning to fall, and it was obvious that the storm would get a lot worse before he'd even have a chance to get home. He didn't have many options. Stay out here and get wet, run home and get wet, or stay with Nuka. His tail flicked from side to side, but he really had just the one choice. He'd stay with Nuka.
"We--we should get going now. It'd pain me to get--wet. MY treat."
Valerius knew those looks, the twitching, spasmodic movements. He'd had them, quite often. So, they didn't bother him. He knew how Nuka felt, so Valerius felt sympathetic.
"Alright...come on, Nuka,"
[/color] he said, walking towards the elephant skull. He didn't want Nuka upset. Valerius, regardless of how much he wanted to fight it, did have affection for Nuka.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

Vitani
Vitani had been following Valerius's scent all the way to the Outlands. She had been soaked while she was tracking him and almost lost the scent at one point. As she kept going, her anger kept growing. How dare he creep into the Outlands? It probably wasn't even the first time. She snorted and walked on, hiding behind a shrub when she saw him.
He was talking to an Outlander. But it wasn't just any Outlander, it was Nuka. Nuka!? How could it be Nuka?! She hissed and walked out of the shrubs. "What are you doing, Valerius?" she growled just before he walked off with Nuka.
