Ignition squirmed in the grasp of her father's mouth. "Down!" she squealed in protest, swinging in a steadily increasing rythym.

"No, Ignition." Kovu scolded in mumble, refusing to set his daughter down.

OOC: Akari, if you didn't notice, all three of the prideland cubs are female, so Miss Ignition isn't a Convoy... :D

((Whoops. I didn't notice that. lol))

Simba pressed against Nala's side, lovingly.

Akari laughed at Ignition. "Kalorii, doesn't she look funny up there?" she giggled. 

Zallion nodded, and followed his mother at a brisk trot. 

Ignition tried to swat at her sisters. "I hear too, ya know!" she squeaked, still swinging in pattern.

"That's enough, girls." Kovu mumbled, settling Ignition down beside her two sisters.

Zallion hurriedly followed her,  smiling to himself all the while. "Mom, when will it begin?" he asked, trying to sound mature. He really admired his mother, but she she was angry, he truly quivered with fear.

Akari smiled at her sister who was set down. "Heheheh..heh..eheh?" she pretended to laugh, but subdued as she looked on at Ignition. 

"Whoa," said Kiara, gently picking up Kalorii by the scruff of her neck and placing her nearer herself. She smiled at Rafiki, who smiled back. "It is time," he said, looking at the trio of youngsters, and nodding. Kiara got up and turned to Kovu. "Oh, Kovu," she mumbled, lovingly nuzzling him under his chin.

Suddenly, Simba spotted Kazuma in the gathering, although he didn't recognize her. Now who is that? he asked himself, gritting his teeth. An outlander, alright. But how dare they step into the Pridelands! He gnashed his teeth at the thought. Never mind... He thought, turning away. Must've come to watch the ceremony. But the next time... I shan't give them a chance.

Zallion nodded once more. "Right. Let's see the dummies' presentation." he commented, his lips quivering into a sly smile.

Rafiki walked to the edge of the huge rock and looked down. "We must begin right away." He announced. "Can't keep them waiting the whole day." he nodded at the parents.

"Yay! Ceremony! Ceremony!" Kalorii squealed.

Nala looked lovingly at her grandchildren, she was so proud.

((Bad post, sorry))

Kazuma went to sit by herself after an elephant almost stepped on her. All of the other animals didn't seem to notice as she left the group, to caught up in their own thoughts. The elephant never even apologized, almost like he didn't know or didn't care. Kazuma quickly put her thoughts aside and waited for the ceremony to start.

Kalima tried her best to try and keep up with her mother and brother, but neithr of them seemed to notice her. Once the were out of sight the small cub sat down with a huff, eyes narrowed dangerously. Just becseshe was smaler then Zallion, her mother always seemd to forget her, or was it because she was female. Lips quirking up in a wicked sneer she vowed to show all of them what she could, after all her mother was proof a female was just as good as a male.

Relic snarled at a zebra that almost steped on his tail, making the beast bolt away with a bleat of fear. Snarling still, he made his way between the feet of many prideland animals, all of which were gathered for the presintaion of that brat Kovu's cubs. He as surprised to see another lion, one who was not a pridelander, among the animals. Slinking up, he stopped to sit beside the lioness. "What are you doing here if your not one of them?" He spat the word with bitterness. He hated the pridelanders for everything they had done, which he thought included the death of his brother, Con.

Zallion looked over his shoulers. His ears twitched. He quickly padded upto Zhaine and whispered, "Mom, I think Kalima's here..." Hurriedly, he scrambled across to his sister, pas-sing animals great and small, who were waiting expectantly for the ceremony to start. 

"Kalima!" he hissed as he neared her. "What are you doing here? You know you're not supposed to wander alone. You could get hurt!" he glared at her, trying to act maturely. He didn't exactly look down on his sister, but somehow, he felt he was supposed to look after her.

Simba could now see two Outlanders. He stared at them, his eyes full of suspicion. Why are they here? He growled under his breath. You can't turn your back on them. Never. He still believed in that, although Kovu had made him realize that not all of them were looking for trouble. Growling a little, he turned away.

"We shall now begin," Rafiki announced. He lifted up Ignition and carried her to the edge of the rock, beckoning the parents to follow with the two other kits. For a moment, he gazed up at the sun, and smiled. Here they are, Mufasa. He whispered, and slowly raised the cub in his hand till she reached a position where every beast could see her. The animals suddenly went crazy with joy. They stamped around for a while, before lowering their heads to the ground. The moment of glory. He raised Ignition a little more, feeling the wind ruffle his fur. Now which of the three will be the next queen? He wondered as he held her high.

Kiara gently picked up Kalorii by the scruff of her neck and walked upto Rafifki, feeling very proud. Then, she waited patiently for Kovu and Akari. She sighed a little, her cub still dangling from her mouth.

Ignition began to squirm. "Down!" she squealed, swatting her paws at Rafiki's hands. She then looked and and stiffened in fear. Further back, Kovu picked up Akarii.

"Come on, you little Squirt." Kovu mumbled, his daughter in the way of actually sounding proud. He then carried the lioness cub forward to stand by his mate.
