*NO ONE'S POV*

Little Kibwe sat down in front of the river. He sighs, staring down at his own reflection. "Why do I have to always be alone? I never fit in!" He thought to himself.

Kibwe close his eyes tight trying so hard not to cry in case someone sees. A fish jump out of the water and hit it's tail on Kibwe's nose. Kibwe snap open his eyes with a gasp. The fish went back in the water swimming fast away.

"Hey you, get back here!" Kibwe growled.

Kibwe walk inside the water and swam following behind the fish. He dive down to find it.

"Aha!"

Kibwe found the fish hiding behind a rock. He swam fast and caught it in his mouth. Now all he has to do is swim back to land and not drop the fish. Kibwe step out of the river shaking his wet fur dry. His extra fur on his head covers his eyes.

He took one of his claws to comb it back in place.

"Whoa, that was so cool!" Said a voice.

Kibwe sat down the fish with his left paw on top of it in case it tries to get away. "Who said that?"

"Me Zawadi!"

A lioness cub walks up smiling. It was defiantly the princess's high chirpy voice.

Kibwe turned his head away from her. "Oh, it's just you princess."

Zawadi lifts a brow. "What's wrong, Kibwe?"

"Nothing. I should go back home now and show my parents what I've caught."

"Oh okay. Just wanted to say what you did in that river was very amazing. Im terrified of water!"

Kibwe was about to walk away but paused. "Your scared of water?"

Zawadi nods, "Yeah, kind of like that. I don't like going in deep ends. I prefer close to land. But you seem brave and un-frightened."

"My dad taught me and my brothers how to swim. I can uh teach you if you want princess?"

"Please, call me Zawadi! And teach me? I don't think that's a good idea, Kibwe."

"Why not?"

Zawadi looks down, "Last time I tried on my own, my paw got stuck between two rocks. If it wasn't for my dad that day I could have drown and died. Every since then I've been terrified of water. Don't tell anybody this, but I get nightmares of it too! My big sister Ama often teases me..."

Kibwe hugs her. "I am so sorry, Zawadi. Ama teasing you about something like that isn't nice. What is her fears?"

"Bugs and mice. I'm not afraid of those things!"

"Let's get her back!"

"Kibwe, what if we get in trouble?"

Kibwe smiled, "We won't, trust me on this. Now where is your sister with my brothers?"

Zawadi began leading the way. "Not too far from here, come on!"

Kibwe picks up his fish and follow behind Zawadi. He knows just the plan to scare Ama.
****************
"And Ama is the winner!!" Dayo cheers.

Emem sits up frowning. "Man, Ama always win! What is else is new?"

Ama smirks, "Oh your just mad Emem, cause you got beat in wrestling by a girl!"

"So what! Don't rub it in..."

Ama laughs. Dayo walks up joining her side.

"Your strong for a girl though. That's pretty awesome!" He smiles.

Ama looks down trying to hide her blush, "Thanks, Dayo."

Emem twitch his ears. "Do you guys hear that?"

"Hear what, brother?" Dayo ask.

"It sounds like it's coming from the grass."

Ama runs over, "I'll go check it out!"

Ama runs through the tall grass. She came to an complete stop seeing a brown mouse.

"Aaaaaaah!!!" She yells, backing away fast.

Ama turned around and sees all types of different insects crawling on the ground. She screams running away back to Emem and Dayo.

"Ama, what's wrong?!" Dayo asks.

Emem nods, "Yeah, we both heard you scream."

"I-I saw a mouse and b-bugs. I'm not going back in t-there!" She reply, frightened.

Kibwe and Zawadi both walk out of the grass laughing. Dayo, Ama, and Emem look confused.

"What are you two laughing about?" Ama ask frowning.

"You!" Said Zawadi.

"Me?"

Dayo lifts a brow, "Both of you explain what's going on."

Kibwe sat down his fish so he can talk. "Okay, okay, we planned a small trick on Ama."

"What?!" Dayo, Ama, and Emem said in unison.

Zawadi nod frowning at his sister Ama. "It was the only way to get back at you Ama for always trying to scare me in front of water. Now you get a chance to taste your own meal of karma!"

Ama growls, "That's it!"

Ama was about to charge until Dayo grab her tail gently with his teeth. Kibwe did the same to Zawadi.

Emem roll his eyes, "Why do we always have to end things in violence?"

"I'm telling mom!" Ama yells.

"Go ahead, I don't care!" Zawadi yells back.

"Mom and dad will never pick you as Queen, Zawadi. Never!"

Dayo release Ama's tail. Ama ran off back home. Zawadi sat down in full tears. The three brothers surround her in a circle.

"Zawadi, are you alright?" Dayo asks.

She sniffs, "Yes, I'm fine."

"You know Ama didn't mean what she said, right?" Said Emem.

"She did mean it, Emem. Ama have always believe that she'll be chosen as the next Queen. I personally don't care."

Kibwe nods, "You do care Zawadi. It wouldn't be a reason for you to cry if you didn't care."

Zawadi rolls her eyes and stand back up. "It doesn't matter Kibwe, okay?!"

With that, Zawadi ran off. She took a different direction her sister went and it wasn't the way home.

"Where is she going?" Ask Dayo.

Zibwe shrug, "I don't know but I'm going to stop her!"

Emem shook his head. "Kibwe, no!"

It was too late. Kibwe sprint off already. Dayo and Emem exhale a breath.

"Either way if we follow our baby brother or not we'll still get in trouble by mama and dad." Said Emem.

Dayo nods, "Your right, let's go after him!"

The two eldest brothers chase after their little brother. The four Cubs have no clue what danger is about to approach them next.
