3rd POV

The animals were at the watering hole hoping that the water would come back. That's when they noticed a wave of water coming down the river. The water finally filled the watering hole back up as the animals cheered. Then one of animals noticed alekay, Mia and Zuba floating down the river on a giant metal bucket, waving at everyone.

Alex's POV

We were waving at everyone and they welcomed us back. When we reached land, I got off then helped Mia like the good boyfriend I was. My mom came running through the crowd, happy and relieved that we were ok. "ZUBA!! MIA!! ALEKAY!!" Mom screamed, tackling us in a hug. We hugged her back. But then Maconga ruined it, so we decided to get him beaten by the old lady. After the old lady walked away with Maconga behind her, my dad picked up the staff that belonged him. "You earned it son. Welcome to the Pride." Dad said, handing me the staff. I looked at it and thought about how life would be if I was alpha. "Thanks dad, but this belongs to you." I said, handing it back to him. But he grabbed it while I was holding it. "No, no son to us." Dad said, raising the staff in the air with me holding it. The animals cheered. "My son 'the king of New York'." Dad said. I let go of the staff and walk over to Mia. She was smiling at me. I spun her around then dipped her. I kissed her and she kissed me back. Everyone including my parents cheered even louder. We stopped kissing and looked into each other's eyes smiling. "What's a king without his queen?" I said, making my girl laugh. "Will you 'Mia the lioness' do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" I asked. Mia smiled like an idiot while smothering my face in kisses. "YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!" Mia screamed. I smiled like an idiot, as I picked her up by the waist and spun her around. We were both laughing happily. I knew, from that moment that I was going to have the best life ever.
