"May I talk to you alone?" Asked Leo. Tigris nodded. They went to a nearby forest. "I'm not a tiger", said Leo. Tigris stood there in shock. "I don't get it", said Tigris. Leo removed the painted stripes on him. "I'm a lion", said Leo. Tigris stood there in shock. "Did my mom know about this?" Asked Tigris. "No and she's not supposed to know", said Leo. Tigris couldn't believe her eyes. "Let's start all over", said Tigris. "What's your name?" "Leo, future lion king", answered Leo. Tigris felt like she already met Leo but didn't recall. "My name is Tigris, future tiger queen," she said.

Leo remembered meeting a tiger named Tigris at the waterhole when he was a cub. "Did we see each other at the waterhole when we were cubs?" He asked. "Oh yeah I remember, then our bodyguards found us", said Tigris. Leo chuckled. "Buddies?" Asked Leo. "Of course!" Said Tigris. They came back to the cave. "What took so long?" Asked Nova. "Nothing", said Leo. Nova smirked. "Don't even play dumb, I know what's exactly going on", she said. "What's going on?" Nervously asked Tigris. Kimono smirked back. "We know that you guys are friends", he said.

Leo and Tigris nervously laughed. "They are definitely friends", said Maximilion. "I was telling her to leave me alone!" Yelled Leo. Kimono growled and tussled with Leo. "I take it back", said Leo. "Too late", said Kimono. Maximilion jumped in front of Leo. "What are you doing?! Asked Leo. "Protecting you like buddies do", said Maximilion. Leo shedded a tear. Kimono pushed Maximilion off the cliff. "No!" Yelled Leo.
