I sat by the fire as one of them went over to Sky and Lucy. I turned my attention back towards the fire. When was the last time we had a fire outside? I stretched my memories to try and remember.

It was a year ago, at least. It had also began raining just as they started the fire. Kovu had laughed and ran around in the rain as the older children ducked in the cover of the trees from the rain. I chuckled to myself.

I looked around at the others who seemed to have grim looks. I frowned. Why was I the only one remembering something nice? I sighed. "What's wrong with all of you? I get the battle with the bear has shaken us up but that isn't it, is it?" I asked.
