Timon looked worried for a moment then snickered. "old brute probably went to find food." he dismissed it. "Now where can i find some grub?" he asked looking about hungrily patting his stomach.

"Try some of the dead trees. i bet some of the bugs crawled in them since they were really in danger from us," she said.

"Will do!" Timon scuttled of and into the trees. He found grub aplenty there, When he emerged from the tree he looked sleepy from eating so much.

"Wait! Why do you want to be my spy?"

"Wow you eat fast," she said. "Do bugs really taste that good. Simba told me he ate them when he was living with you guys," nala said sitting down.

Timon smiled. "Sure, try some." he said lifting up a rather large beetle.

Stone smiled. "Because, im sure you could find a nice position for me once your king again, other than wingman errand boy."

Nala piked it up. She studied it. She sniffed it. It didnt smell to good but she put it in her mouth and ate it. It was crunchy, but it wasnt to bad. but not as good as meat. "Its ok," she said.

Timon laughed. "Well, think of that next time your kissing up to simba. He's been eating those ever since he was young, they grow up so fast." he sniffled and scurried off.

Nala chuckled. "Yes he looks so different from when he was a cub," she said.

"Handomser?" timon nudged nala. "I see the way he looks at you."

"He looks at me a certain way? intresting. how does he look at me?" she asked.

"Like he's in love." timon rolled his eyes. "Duh."

"I didn't know that. i guess i will talk to him when we get back," she said.

A sinister smile came over Scar's face. "Let us talk. Perhaps we can work out an arrangment"

Stone gave a low devious laugh, and followed scar up onto his high rock. "So what shall i be looking out for?" he asked, his light eyes glinting darkly in the badlands dim lava light.

Timon nodded. "you should."

"Any sign of weakness. If Simba has some that is close to him, I want to know who it is. Also, alert me when the others leave pride rock to hunt" Scar said.

"Alright." Stone nodded. "The crows will be my messangers, see them and you'll know the others are away on a hunt, or that simba is alone." he flexed his claws hungrily into the dirt. "Fair enough?" he questioned raising an eyebrow.

"I am gonna head back timon i need to talk to Simba." nala said and made her way back to pride rock.

"Fair enough" Scar turned to return to his lair. "We never met"

Nala made her way up to the top of pride rock where simba sat looking over the pride lands. "Simba may i talk to you," she asked. "Sure" simba said. "Timon told me you have been looking at me like you like me and i was wondering if you really do like me," she asked. Simba looked like he blushed. "Its true i do love you," he said. "I love you too," she said. He nuzzled her and they laid down and watched over the pride lands.

Scar had everything set up, but he wasn't finished. "If I can just get to someone close to Simba, I can cripple him"

"i will go hunt us something to eat," Nala said hearing his stomache growling. Nala made her way down Pride rock. She walked around until she found a herd of Zebra. She stalked around looking for the right one.

Stone nodded and exited the badlands, he saw Nala and ran up to her. "I have something to tell you." he frowned. "But not now." he nudged her side. "I'll help you hunt."

"Ok thanks Stone," she said. she saw a big zebra and crouched then pounced on it and killed it.

Stone sighed and shook out his mane. "Nala, i like you." he let out in a roar as she was bending over her zebra. "Is that a bad thing?" he asked and with worried eyes came to sit next to her.
