Kovu rested in the shade by Echo Lake. This was the quieter area of the park, the perfect place to nap. As it was a hot day, the water and shade also added to the peacefulness. There was one thing that would make this day perfect.

((Doesn't matter. Kovu is cute with long dark silky hair )) Esmeralda and Djali was walking through the forest around Echo Lake. The day was incredibly hot, and Esmeralda felt she would melt away soon if she didn't do anything drastic. She walked down to the sea and looked over at Djali. "What do you think Djali, shall we take a bath?" She giggled and looked around, but failed to see Kovu in the shades. Thinking she was alone she removed her skirts and blouse, and only kept her undergown. Then she threw herself into the lake, laughing happily, as she playfully splashed water on Djali. The goat bleated happily and followed her into the water. Goat and gypsy were playing around. Esmeralda used her hands splashing water on Djali, and Djali revenged himself by swimming really close to her before shaking his soaked fur, almost drowning her.

[[*snatches off the Pocahontas wig and hides it behind his back* I can explain . . .]]
Kovu's head rested contently on his forepaws. He was sleeping soundly, but always keep alert for trouble. His mother's training was still very much engrained in him. He fidgetted occasionally from the twitter of a bird or brush of wind.
The lion smiled, thinking of the time that he had spent with Esmerelda. She had been the focus of his dreams lately. It could be said to be an unhealthy attraction if the two had not shared a past, a past that Kovu wished had continued to the present. He still love the gypsy, perhaps more now that she was unavalible to him. What's more, she still cared for him, making every time they met highly uncomfortable. It was a battle between his tender heart and his iron willed brain that scolded him every chance it got.
Kovu's ears twitched, picking up the sound of soft footsteps in the grass. As he listened, he heard Esmerelda's voice. He frowned, thinking that his cruel heart was playing tricks on him again. He became alert when he heard the splashing of water and raised his head.
He could see someone swimming in the water, his dream girl, Esmerelda. Djali was with her, bleeting happily as he played with his master. A calm smile spread over the lion's face as he watched them, his heart swelling to the point of explosion.
As he surveyed the scene, he saw that Esmerelda had stripped down to her underdress. A sneaky smile crossed his face as he softly got to his feet. Padding his way over to the lake, Kovu sat down on the edge.
"Mind if I join the party?" he said, half laughing out of pure happiness.

((*Innocent grin* What are you hiding behind your back? *Tickles her lion* OMG! I loooooved your post. You always make me melt like butter in the microwave! *Purrrrrr* ))
Esmeralda was laying in the water, floating lazily on her back. Her raven curls were floating in the water, and a soft smile was on her face. She had closed her emerald eyes, and didn't notice that the water soaked her underdress, making it a bit sheer.
As always when she closed her eyes, Kovu's beautiful face appeared in front of her eyes. She could see his green eyes, hearing his voice.... and she missed the happy days where she had been his wife. She had wanted their marriage to last forever. She knew that even if she tried to survive her heartache by flirting, nobody could compare to Kovu. She loved him still, and she would always love him. He was always on her mind - whether she was dreaming or awake. Her head told her to forget him and move on with her life, and her heart told her to never let him go. Esmeralda chose to listen to her heart.
Knowing that their love could never be, only made her love for him stronger. It didn't help, no matter how much she tried to flirt with others. The more she flirted, the more passionately she loved the only one that had managed to capture her heart. She was still carrying his ring, and that ring - her most precious jewel because it was from him - never left her finger.
She suddenly heard Djali bleat happily. She thought it was because he still had fun playing in the water, but suddenly she heard a soft rustling in the grass, then Kovu's voice. She opened her eyes, certain that it was just another dream, and that Kovu would not be there when she looked. But it was him, and Esmeralda's heart skipped a beat. She blushed deeply at the sight of him, like any girl in love would do by the sight of her beloved.
"KOVU!!" She beamed and threw herself around his neck, kissing him and hugging him tightly without thinking of that she only was wearing her undergown.
"I have missed you so much!!! Of course you can join us!!!"
Djali was nuzzling against Kovu too, happy to see his brother again.

Kovu greeted Djali with a one-paw hug before turning back to Esmerelda. She hugged him tightly and he purred. She was more beautiful that he remembered.
"How have you been?" he asked the gypsy. "I hope Djali hasn't gotten in too much trouble," he added with a wink in the goat's direction.
He noticed that Esmerelda's underdress was clinging to her body from the water and blushed. "You look very nice, Esme," he said, quickly looking at her eyes.
[[Hope that's not too mature rated.]]

((No, it is cute ^^ Awwwww. I love this thread <333 ))
Djali bounced up and down in joy by seeing Kovu again, then he ran towards the lake, looking over at Kovu, hoping he would join him and Esmeralda in the water.
Esmeralda held both her arms around Kovu's neck, hugging him tightly and caressing his mane. She had missed him so much, and it was wonderful to see him again. She smiled when she heard him purring. He was more handsome than she remembered.
"I can't lie and say I've been great," she replied and looked into his eyes. "Life without you is cold and lonely, with wolves at every corner, ready to throw themselves over me. I miss my favorite lion. As for Djali, he has stolen more dresses than he ever did. I hope you can do something with it. He won't listen to me."
It felt so good to have Kovu to talk to again. It felt like when he was her husband and she could tell him everything. She knew she would always speak to him about everything that filled her mind.
She looked into his beautiful, green eyes and felt how her cheeks were burning. She knew it wasn't from the sun. When she heard his words, her blushing deepened, and her heart was pounding.
"Thank you," she said quietly. "So do you...."
Her emerald eyes sought his gaze, and she looked deeply into his eyes, not wanting to let go of this moment.

Kovu laughed as Djali jumped into the water, wanting him to join in the fun. The lion batted a paw full of water in the goat's direction. He listened to Esmerelda's words, drinking in the sweet sound of her voice.
When she confessed her loneliness, Kovu looked up at her. He want to tell her the truth, tell her that he felt the same, but it would break his heart.
"We can't change that now," he told her, looking away. "We have to accept things the way they are. I'm sorry, Esme."

Esmeralda laughed too watching Djali jumping into the water, and even more when Kovu batted a paw full of water in Djalis direction. After she had told Kovu about her loneliness, she saw in his eyes that he felt the same. Knowing that the two of them could never be, she was grateful for what he was giving her. It would be much worse if he had avoided her, or treated her as his enemy. She was content to have him as her friend.
"I know, Kovu," she said quietly, stroking his mane gently. "I just didn't want to lie to you. If we can't trust each other, we have nothing left. I am sorry too."
The sunshine returned to her eyes, and a mischievious smile crossed her face. Her tiny hand filled witlh water which she suddenly splashed over him. Her laughter echoed teasingly in the wind.
"But not so sorry I can't have fun! TAGS - YOU'RE IT!!!"
She threw herself back into the water, laughing teasingly and used both her arms to splash water in Kovu's direction.

Kovu understood the gypsy words and gave her a smile to show that he wasn't angry with her. It had been a long time before he could force himself to see Esmerelda again. He had grown up without love all his life, but when he had found it and had it suddenly taken from him, well, there was no wound more painful.
He was pulled out of his thoughts when he recieved a face full of water. Shaking it out of his fur, Kovu saw Esmerelda dive back in the water before he could retaliate. He walked around the pond, playfully stalking his prey. When he saw an opening, Kovu jumped in and paddled his way over to Esmerelda.
"That wasn't fair!" he moaned before pushing her underwater.

Esmeralda looked at Kovu, giggling softly when the water ran down his face making him look like a......
"You look like a drowned cat!!!" She giggled, then said in a teasing sing-song voice "Here kittykittykitty!!!"
She felt how much she loved him. That love would never die, and the fact that they couldn't have each other only made it much more painful, and at the same time wonderful, to see him again. Because she didn't know if and when she would see him for the last time. Her laughing and teasing was her way of dealing with life when it was too painful.
Suddenly she noticed Kovu had started stalking her from land, and she giggled and swam around, continuing to tease him. She squealed when Kovu suddenly jumped in the lake and paddled over to her, and she playfullly tried to get away from him.
"Awwwwww! Poor wittle kitty got wet?" She teased before Kovu pushed her underwater.
She ducked underwater and swam away for a bit, before suddenly turning to him. Still hidden under the water, she started tickling his tummy viciously with her slender fingers.

Echo lake was a quiet place as he first saw it. Of course that thought did not last very long. He soon saw two individuals at the lake. Shan Yu watched the two of them from afar to see just who they were. There was a lion, dark furred, and fully mature, somewhat of a threat, however, this would not be Shan's first tussle with an animal.
Next, there was a woman, her appearance was familiar, but how? He had never met this woman before, but for some reason it was like he knew who she was. After a moment of thinking he realized that this woman had been described to him once before. This was Esmeralda, the woman who had caused Lady Tremaine a considerable amount of trouble, and was on unusually good terms with that traitor Gaston.
With a serious face and calmness Shan approached the two of them. He then knew getting rid of this woman would benefit him. He was sure Lady Tremaine would understand if one of her problems went away. As he finally reached the lake so he was within distance so that they could see him, he stopped and waited, he was preparing himself for what he had planned.

Esmeralda felt the presence of a stranger, an unpleasant feeling of being watched. She ducked up from the water beside Kovu, swimming really close to him while whispering in his ear.
"We have company. From someone that sends chills down my spine. This is not a friendly creature, I can sense it. Be careful, Kovu. I fear he sees you as a threat."
Her gaze fell on land, where she had left her clothes, hoping that the newcomer did not discover that she was only swimming in her undergown. She hid behind Kovu, as if she felt safer with the lion there. Then she nudged Kovu gently, hoping he would speak first.

[[ooh, Shan Yu! Kovu hasn't meet him yet. But you have met my alter-ego Pocahontas. Great to have you on board.]]
Kovu was treading water, trying to catch Esmerelda as she teased him. It wouldn't have been a problem if they were on land, but in the water he had to worry about staying afloat. He laughted heartily as she tickled him, kicking out at her with his back paws, but never in a way to hurt her.
Lying over on his back, Kovu let out a whomph! of air as Djali decided to use his belly for a diving platform. The lion chuckled as the goat jumped back into the water before clamoring up again and lying down on his stomach.
"I guess Djali wants to sun bath," Kovu said to Esmerelda, before quickly dropping his lower half under the water and dumping the goat into blue lake.
Still praising himself on his trick, Kovu heard the gypsy whisper in his ear. His eyes narrowed and he slowly turned himself towards the shore. There was a man standing there, dressed in strange attire and had a falcon on his shoulder. His face was very prominant, with contrasting dark hair and pale skin. Kovu could see a sword hilt at his waist and cautioned himself not to make the man angry.
"Oh, hello there," he called kindly. "Care to join us for a swim? I haven't seen you around the park before. What is your name?"

((Yay!!! Welcome Shanny. Esmeralda has met your alter ego Gaston )) Esmeralda laughed heartily and swam away when Kovu tried to catch her in the water. She had so much fun. Knowing he had trouble with floating she was careful not to harm him. When Djali used Kovu's belly for a diving platform she bursted out laughing. She was so happy to see the brothers play. The image of Djali laying down on Kovu's stomach made her and her rp'er melt like butter in a microwave. They were so cute!!! "Awwwwww," she purred and stroke Kovu's fur gently. "You two are so sweet together. I can see he loves you." Esmeralda bursted out laughing when Kovu dumped Djali into the blue lake. Djali gave an eeeping sound and ducked under water. When he came up again, he looked soaked. With a mischievous smile he swam up to Kovu's face and started shaking the water out of his wet fur. Esmeralda, knowing her underdress was now soaked, made sure to dive into the water, choosing a place to stand so the water would reach her to the neck. Then she turned to the stranger, not certain if men like him would join in suchs baths as Kovu was offering.

"This is no time for games. I have come to get rid of the two of you. Esmeralda, you have caused my lady a lot of trouble recently. She might not be one for direct action, however, I am."
Shan Yu then pulled the sword from his waist. He was showing that he meant business.
"Lion, if you get out of the way I won't have to harm you. After I am done with you two, that traitor Gaston is next. I'm surprised he even shows his face in this park after Hades burned him."
