Mufasa and Sarabi had known each other ever since they were cubs. At first they thought each other to be friends and nothing more, playing and running together across the Pridelands. One of their favorite games they'd play was tag; one would run after the other and 'tag' the runner by attempting to nibble and pull them on the ear.

Slowly the friendship ceased and love took root, and the days of running around in play had come to an end.

Well, almost to an end.

Before Simba, their son, was born, Mufasa and Sarabi would, from time to time, try to sneak in one game they always remembered fondly.

A game of tag. Run and tag with the ears before rinsing and repeating.

A/N: History repeats itself in more ways than one. :)
