History:When it was revealed that Kopa was in fact alive,Vitani instantly knew she would be happier.And right she was.When Kopa re-joined his birth pride,he was surprised to see Vitani,his childhood friend,in the pride as well. Straight away the two began to catch up.Vitani couldn't deny it any longer; she'd fallen for the lion all ready.Kopa himself fell for the outlander lioness too.Soon the two lions mated and had a baby boy.They named him Reuben.

The proud parents loved they're son with everything they had.He was simply all they could ever wish for. Reuben was a huge mama's boy and always did what she said.He'd never dream of upsetting her.Kopa was very proud of his son,and Vitani spoiled him rotten.Everything was just fine.. and then she came.

When I mean she,I mean Kai of course.Reuben knew from the moment she set paw in the pride that she was trouble.She just randomly showed up,and acted all nice and innocent when really she was masking a wicked look.He tried to tell others that she was trouble but it was useless.They wouldn't listen.Despite this,he kept trying to get someone to listen.

One day,when he was out playing,Kai approached and gave a growl.She warned him to shut his mouth or she'll kill him.Reuben was stubborn and growled back,saying he won't stop until she's stopped.Kai hated this cub now; he could ruin everything!

It was a few days after Simba's tragic death,when the worst day of Reuben's life came.He knew it was her,he simply knew it.No one else would do it... His mother,Vitani,had been murdered.And quite brutally too. Kopa was heartbroken and,in fear his son would be killed too,left the Pride Lands with Reuben.The cub was all Kopa had left of his beloved mate.Though Reuben wanted to stay in the Pride Lands,Kopa wouldn't hear it.They traveled far,away from the Land both were born in.

It took some time,but Reuben finally warmed up to the idea of traveling.He got to see loads of interesting things that he wouldn't see in the Pride Lands.And,better yet,he was nowhere near Kai.Kopa was protective of his only son.He wouldn't want him to end up getting hurt,and he's had his experience of childhood accidents.Reuben listened and stayed away from anything his father disliked.

Soon enough,the father and his son met a large pride of lions and lionesses.The king was old and his daughter was Kopa's age.Her name was Kamaria.Reuben noticed,with horror,that his father seemed to have an interest in this lionesses.What was he thinking!?

Kopa and Reuben stayed for a few days in the Pride.Reuben thought that they'd be leaving soon,but Kopa... had other plans.The male lion came to his son and explained some news,Reuben simply didn't agree with.Kopa wanted to stay and join the Pride.

Instantly,Reuben knew it was because of Kamaria.He protested,saying that he couldn't love her.Kopa tried to calm his son down but it was pointless. In the end,Reuben walked off in a huff,towards the lake.There,he grumbled how he'd never accept Kamaria as his mother.And he'd never accept this place as his home.Everything seemed so confusing for the now teen.
