Laval was returning to his home, The Lion Temple, after a day of racing and practicing with his friends. “What a great day this has been. But I want to take a hot bath, eat something and go to my room to rest.” The red-maned prince said to himself as he went to put the lion speedorz away from him. But when he was going to do that he found his father, Lagravis king of the lions, waiting for him and looking serious. (Oh no. What now?) Laval thought before stopping his speedorz. “H-Hello dad… you didn't have to wait for me.” “Actually, Laval, yes, I did have something to wait for you for.” The gray-maned lion said to his son. “Do you remember the homework I gave you this morning?” “Oh, yeah, yeah, well, I, of course I remember.” Laval said. As prince and heir to the throne of the lions, Laval had to train his body and mind, so he was frequently assigned duties. However, compliance with it was not always good. Lagravis looks at his son, immediately recognizing that he had completely forgotten. “You're supposed to research the traditions of the other tribes in the library. As lions, it is our duty to help the other tribes. But how will we do that if we don't know them?” Laval gets off his speedorz. “But, Dad, I have friends in every tribe, even with the wolves! I’m pretty sure I know each tribe pretty well.” The king of the lions gestures for his son to follow him as they walk. The red-maned prince did so, knowing that a sermon was coming here. “Laval, you must understand, there is a big difference in going out with your friends and actually learning about their origins and traditions. And there is always more to learn.” Lagravis strokes his beard. “For example, gorillas and the peculiar way in which they have built their homes for several generations.” “I know dad.” Laval said, wanting to be anywhere else. “I just think… maybe I could learn more going out than sitting with a bunch of books.” "Are you serious?" An idea begins to form in the head of the older lion. “Well, I guess we can try to do that.” Laval raises an eyebrow, confused by the sudden change in his father. “Try what?” “Since books don't seem to capture your interest, then perhaps it's best that you go out, live with the other tribes and learn firsthand about their traditions.” Laval couldn't contain a smile. “Wait, are you serious?” Lagravis nods. “I want you to go to the gorillas tomorrow and spend the day with them. Learn as much as you can and when you come back I want to know how far you have come in your learning.” "I can do that!" Laval said excitedly. He was practically asked to go out with his friends! “It will be fun to spend more time with Gorzan and other gorillas.” “Just remember, you are going to learn.” Lagravis remarked to his son. With that settled, the night passed without further inconvenience. --- The next morning Laval had breakfast and left for the Gorilla Forest, excited as ever to fulfill one of his learning duties. “It will be great to spend the day having fun with the gorillas, smelling some flowers and eating fruit.” The lion prince said to himself, imagining this would be a relaxing and fun day. Laval entered the gorilla forest and headed towards the house of his friend Gorzan. To the lion's surprise, the gorillas were gathered on the ground. "Dude!" Gorzan jumped with his hands raised and left the group to greet his friend. “Hello Dude! What brings you here?" Laval got out of his speedorz, ​​greeting his friend. “Hello Gorzan. You see, I came here to spend the day with the gorillas. You know, to learn more about the things you guys do.” Gorzan smiled brightly with eyes full of excitement. "Dude!" The gorilla hugged the lion tightly, too tightly. Laval speaks with difficulty due to the sudden lack of air. “I… am also… glad…” The maned feline staggers when he is left on the ground. “It's such a cool day to join us! We gorillas will go to our monthly connection with nature.” Gorzan said excitedly. Laval tilts his head in confusion. “Huh, don't you guys connect with nature like…every day?” “Oh! But this one is special!” The gorilla said almost jumping with excitement. Grumlo, a gray-furred gorilla and leader of the tribe, approaches the pair of friends. “Welcome dude. To what do we owe this pleasant surprise?” Gorzan immediately responded with excitement. “He comes to join us in our connection with nature!” "Oh really?" Grumlo looks at Laval in surprise. “Dude, is that so? I mean, all dudes are welcome to join us.” Laval smiles and nods. "That's how it is! I am here to do all kinds of activities with the gorillas and understand each other better!” Grumlo smiled. "That sounds wonderful!" The great gorilla hugs the lion, the emotion made him hug with a little too much force, making Laval moan. The other gorillas understood the situation and were excited to have someone else joining them and nature. Laval stayed close to Gorzan as the gorillas gathered. When everyone seemed to have arrived Grumlo stood in front of the group and spoke to everyone. “Dudes gorillas and Dudes, today we are going to connect with the natural dudes, leaving all barriers behind and feeling the good vibes of the dudes, dudes and dudes.” All the bouncers became excited as Laval tried to understand the last part. 'Dude' has many meanings in the gorilla dialect and is sometimes confusing to people from other tribes. The prince of the lions kept a smile while Grumlo continued his speech, with many more “dudes”. The gorillas began to move and Laval followed them. Everyone began to collect sprouts and bags of seeds that had been previously prepared. Laval picked a couple of shoots. “Oh, so let's plant some plants and flowers?” "Among other things." Gorzan said, picking up some bags of seeds. “I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun! There are very grub things and many dudes!” The prince of the lions seeing his friend so excited about this. The group of gorillas divided into 2 groups and they went in opposite directions and entered the gorilla forest. (It's not as fun as swinging on vines. But it's still a good thing to do.) Laval thought to himself. The group of gorillas and lions arrived at an open area of ​​the forest, it looked like a path where grass had grown after no one had walked along it for a long time. In fact, Laval wasn't sure where in the forest they were. But water could be heard running near that place. “Nice place, I think it's the first time I come here despite d-!!” The prince of the lions was left speechless when he saw the gorillas begin to undress in that place. “W-What are you doing!?” “Dude, it's part of connecting with nature.” Gorzan said as he took off his leaf loincloth, revealing a pair of pink panties with lots of flowers and purple edges. The fabric seemed to be straining against his large butt. “Every month we come to the forest and take off our clothes to feel all the vibe of nature.” He said with a smile. Laval's face was getting redder and redder. “Should we all get naked?” He could see some gorillas taking off their underwear. “Not necessarily, Dude. You can keep your underwear if you want.” Gorzan said as he took off his harness. Although being seen without a loincloth usually embarrasses the gorilla, as it does with most, he now seemed to be calm about this. The prince of lions gulps when he sees this. “What about the women and kids?” “Dude, the women went in the other group and the children are in the tribe with the older gorillas.” Gorzan responded and gestured around. Laval looks around. “…Now that you mention it…” He hadn't noticed this until his friend pointed it out. It was that way. He only saw gorilla men in their underwear or naked. Laval's face turned as red as his mane as he couldn't help but look at the bodies of the gorillas. Big muscles, a slight stomach, considerably large butts and, well, gorillas were some of the least endowed down there. “And they do this every month?” Laval tries to focus on his friend, who at least had light cover. “Yep! It's great to feel the breeze and the warmth of the sun all over your body~” Gorzan said as he stretched and breathed deeply. Grumlo approached them, the gorilla leader was already completely naked. “Laval, is something wrong?” The prince of lions looks away. “If you don't feel comfortable, you can go home if you want, dude.” Grumlo said noticing the nervous lion. (What do I do now? I should go home, admit to Dad that this wasn't a great idea, and go back to the library with the books to...) Thinking about it helped Laval make a decision. “Don't worry, I was just a little… surprised.” The prince of lions says with a small laugh and began to undress as well. (This is still better than studying in a library.) Laval leaves his sword leaning against a tree, takes off his harness and belt. The prince of lions took a moment to then remove the blue robe from him. The fresh air caressing his body did not help to lower the heat of his cheeks, now red, having his underwear exposed. Some yellow underoos, with blue stitching and cute lion faces. Laval folds his clothes, places them next to his sword and takes off his diadem to leave it on top of everything. The lion's red mane fell and he ruffled a little. (At least these are clean.) Laval thought, wanting to keep at least his underwear. Even if he's bigger down there than all the gorillas, it doesn't mean he's willing to go around shaking the lion sausage at him. As he turned around to return to the Laval gorillas he noticed some glances directed at him. The lion's cheeks seemed to take on a permanent shade of red now. Laval stayed close to Gorzan and tried to concentrate on planting things. But his eyes constantly wandered to the gorillas, not only because they were naked, but also because they seemed to have the same taste in underwear. It was easy to make 2 groups, those who wore colorful underoos with images and those who wore panties like Gorzan. (Why panties?) Laval wondered internally. (I don't think the panties have much space in front… even if they are small there.) The prince begins to imagine himself comparing sizes with other species. But the heat on his face made the lion shake his head to stop thinking about those things. (I should stop thinking about that. If they are comfortable with that, that's fine.) “Dude, doesn't this feel good?” Gorzan said holding up a couple of flowers and smells them. “The flowers are beautiful and the day is beautiful.” Laval smiles, Gorzan's joy was contagious, even under these circumstances. “I see you really like flowers, in more ways than one.” The lion jokes, referring to his friend's underwear. They both laughed lightly. Although the friends' laughter was interrupted when the sound of a speedorz approached. Laval tensed as he saw the vehicles approaching. “You have to be kidding.” Those approaching were Cragger, Razar, Worriz and Furtivo. Furtivo drove slowly down the road, watching the gorillas and enjoying the view. But a red color caught his attention. “It can't be, Laval!?” "What!?" Cragger stopped watching the gorillas and looked around. "Where!?" Laval turns to try to hide in a bush. But Worriz cut his way with his speedorz. “Look what we have here! Hahahaha!” Laval's face turned as red as his hair when he found himself surrounded. The lion forces a nervous smile and tries to hide his embarrassment. “H-hey guys…what are you doing here?” Razar smiles when he sees the prince of the lions. “Well, my friend, I'm just taking our friends to a swimming area. But you, my friend, seem to be doing…things with gorillas.” Razar said, adding a suggestive tone to the last part. “Laval! Explain yourself!" Cragger said full of jealousy at the idea of ​​Laval doing things with gorillas. Laval shakes both hands, looking nervous. “It's nothing like that!” Gorzan puts an arm around Laval and smiles at his other friends. “Laval decided to join the union with nature, now we are helping to make the road look more beautiful.” The gorilla said showing the flowers in his hand. “You don't need to stick so close to Laval!” Cragger said as he saw the lion and gorilla in their underwear close together. Razar took the opportunity to take a quick photo with his camera. “RAZAR!!” Laval exclaims embarrassed. "What? I don't see any signs prohibiting taking photographs.” The crow said, smiling as he imagined the profits he would make by selling that photo. Gorzan continued smiling. “There is still quite a bit to do. Dudes, don't you want to join us?” Worriz raises an eyebrow, thinking the gorilla was joking. “Spending the day with you, in underwear and taking care of plants? Never in life." Furtivo laughs. “No, thank you, I have it on my schedule to keep my pants.” The fox casually looks at other gorillas. “Although I might be around.” Cragger was the slowest to decline the invitation. As much as he wants to approach Laval, that was not the way, especially not with so many gorillas nearby. “Well, my friends, we will continue on our way.” Razar said turning his speedorz back on. “You guys try not to lose your underwear or something.” “It's not like we're a-aaahhhHH!” Laval squealed as his underoos ran up his butt and into the sky. Furtivo is the one who was giving the prince of lions this wedgie. “I couldn't leave without doing this!” The fox laughs maniacally and lets the underwear adjust over the lion's forehead in an atomic wedgie. “Enjoy your new crown!” Furtivo said and jumped back into his speedorz. Laval stumbles slightly, wincing in pain, discomfort, and embarrassment knowing that his butt was now exposed to everyone. “See you, panty lover.” Worriz said to Gorzan. This did make the gorilla blush. Cragger looked at Laval's behind for a few moments before starting his vehicle and leaving with his friends, the friends who still wear clothes, of course. “I'm going to be hearing about this for months…” Laval said to himself and then tried to remove the underwear from his head and, later, remove the fabric from his butt. After that embarrassing scene Laval returned to help the gorillas with the task of planting flowers and small trees. Some gorillas were even talking to plants, showing his deep love for nature. --- As midday arrived the sun shone on all the new plants, making the place look more alive than before. The prince of lions smiles. Maybe he will go through embarrassing moments and now his fur has several dirt stains on it. But he is proud to have helped turn that lonely place into something beautiful. “This gorilla tradition is pretty good, I can barely recognize this place compared to before.” “It's the magic of nature, dude.” Grumlo said to the prince of lions. “Now that our flower buddies are in their new home, it's time for a little personal cleansing.” Laval tilts his head in confusion. “Do gorillas have showers or something in the forest?” Grumlo and Gorzan laugh. The gorilla leader slaps the lion prince on the back, almost knocking him over. “You are very funny dude.” “There is a river near here! Nothing better than feeling the natural water sliding and cleaning your fur!” Gorzan said with a smile. “Huh, well, as long as it's close to here and no one can see us.” Laval said to himself. The gorillas began to move. But Laval noticed that they were not going to look for the clothes they had left before. “Hey, shouldn't we go get our things?” “Why would you do that, dude? You shall not enter the water clothed.” Gorzan jokes and laughs lightly. The prince of the lions blushes, he didn't imagine that he would walk around in only his underwear. But Laval thought they would not go far so he accompanied the group of gorillas. At least that turned out to be the case. The group only walked a few meters until they reached a fairly wide river. The crystal clear water sparkles with the reflection of sunlight as it runs downhill. The river seemed to be deep enough to sit and enjoy. "DUDE!!" The gorillas got excited and started to get into the river. Many of them started playing in the water while others looked for a deep place to dive. Everyone seemed to be having fun and enjoying themselves. Laval smiles, although he was not a water lover, seeing the others having fun was quite good. Although then his face blushed intensely when he saw the bodies of the wet gorillas. The wet underwear and fur further accentuate the gorillas' big bodies, those big muscles and round butts glistening in the sunlight. Laval realized that he was getting hard, having to cover his crotch before anyone would notice. "Dude! Don’t stay on the shore!” Gorzan said, standing up from the river. Gorzan's panties clung to his waist as they fell slightly, almost revealing the gorilla's fruits. "Come! The water is incredible!” "Sure! Now I’m coming!” Laval stepped into the river, initially shivering as he felt the cold water soaking his legs. But as Laval dips and moves he begins to warm up, especially with the sunlight. It was the prince of the lions' turn to attract attention. The cream-colored fur clings to Laval's body, marking his muscles, the lion combed his mane back and the wet underwear showed that he also has a nice butt. Some gorillas stayed watching the lion... They and the group hidden behind some bushes. On the other side of the river and hiding in the bushes Razar, Furtivo, Worriz and Cragger were watching the gorillas and Laval cooling off in the water. The crow smiles and looks at his customers. “I told you, my friends, that I would show you something worth all those coins.” The fox covers his mouth to avoid laughing and being discovered. “Just look at those big butts, how come they don't break tree branches with those things?” “They make up for it with those tiny penises.” The wolf sneered. “No wonder half of them are wearing panties, they have nothing to pack.” “Urrgh…” The crocodile was more focused on the lion's wet body, loving the view but he was also jealous of all the others who are also watching Laval. “If any of those gorillas try to do anything with Laval I'm going to destroy all of his flowers.” “My friend, don't be so jealous. Better save that energy for later.” Razar leaned in to whisper to Cragger. “Later I can sell you some special photographs of Laval. And for a small additional price, I can give you exclusivity.” While the crow offers his private goods to his friends in the bushes, the gorillas come out of the water. Those gorillas who had entered with their underwear took them off and hung them on the branches of nearby trees. Including Gorzan, leaving his flower panties drying in the sun. “Ahh~ How good the warmth of the dude sun feels~” The gorilla said, stretching. Laval kept his gaze on the ground, trying not to see or think about all the naked men around him. Grumlo stood on a rock, shamelessly, in front of everyone. “Now, Dudes, it's time to join nature through meditation and yoga.” All the gorillas seemed to get excited and started to form a circle. Laval caresses the back of his neck. “Huh… I've never done anything like this.” The lion said, trying to avoid this activity. “I think I better step aside and-” But Gorzan took Laval by the hand. “Don't worry doubt! Just watch and imitate what we do!” The gorilla took the lion with him to join the circle. Laval swallows, now no matter where he looked, there were naked gorillas. (How can they do this so naturally?) The lion thinks to himself as he tries to keep his friend under control down there. “Dude… Dude.” Grumlo said, beginning to move, with the others imitating his movements, beginning to do the sun salutation cycle. “Dude… Dude… Dude.” Laval did his best to concentrate on his own movements. But the further they advanced, the lion felt more exposed. That his soaked underoos were falling down didn't help. Things got hotter as the yoga poses became more provocative. The prince was beginning to question whether those were real yoga poses. Why was it necessary to stick out your butt so much and open your legs? What Laval did not notice is that some gorillas turned to look at him. The lion's body was certainly lifting the spirits of several of the gorillas, it's not every day they get a feline companion with a muscular body. --- After a stimulating yoga session the gorillas were ready to take a break. They didn't have to walk almost at all, there were fruit trees along the river. Some gorillas volunteered to climb the trees and throw the fruit for the others. Laval sits with Gorzan and Grumlo. The lion tried not to see too much of his friend or the gorilla leader. “And what other things are done in this connection with nature?” He asks as he peels a banana. “There's not much left to finish, dude.” Gorzan said and then bit into an apple. “After resting for a while and when the underwear is dry, we will go back to get our things to return to the tribe and then we will paint our marks again.” Laval wouldn't have realized that if Grumlo hadn't mentioned it. But the marks of Gorzan and the other gorillas had disappeared into the water. He now felt a little strange seeing the clear forehead of his friend. “I guess each of the brands has its own meaning.” “That's right dude. There are as many brands as there are meanings of the dude.” Grumlo said with a smile. Laval smiles and continues eating the fruit from him. The day had been... different than he thought, very different. But now Laval felt closer to the gorillas. “Wow, that's really interesting.” Laval continued talking to the gorillas, who explained some of the symbols his tribe uses. After time and with satisfied stomachs, the gorillas collected their underwear. “Dude, this has been a lot of fun. I have loved spending time with you this way!” Gorzan said as he pulls up his panties until they were comfortably hugging his butt. Laval laughs with a slight blush. "I say the same. I want to put some clothes back on though.” The lion prince said, standing with the underoos that represented his species. Some will say that he was proudly representing the lions. But the truth is, Laval can't wait to get dressed again and finally cover his underwear. --- "WHAT!? WHERE ARE THE THINGS!?" Or maybe that will take longer than expected. Upon returning to the path where everyone had undressed and left their things, the gorillas took their loincloths again. But Laval couldn't find any of his belongings. Neither the lion headband, his sword, the harness nor even his clothes were there. “Laval, what's going on?” Gorzan asks as he tied his loincloth, being almost fully dressed. “My things are gone!” Laval said, pointing to the spot next to the tree where he had arranged everything. The prince of lions moves frantically around the trunk, ducking into nearby bushes and even checking the branches. "There is nothing!" “Dude, I don't think the bird dudes will take your things… I don't think they can lift a sword either.” Gorzan said and began to imagine the birds struggling as they tried to fly carrying a sword. Grumlo, now fully dressed, approached the friends and saw Laval on a branch high up in a tree. "Dude! Are you checking a nest or something?” “The Laval things have disappeared.” Gorzan said to the older gorilla. Laval frowns as he climbs down the tree trunk. “And I have a good idea who the thief might be.” He said, immediately thinking of Razar and the others, since they had met before and near the place. “Dude, you shouldn't think that way.” Grumlo said, trying to keep things calm. “Are you sure you left your things in this place?” “I'm completely sure.” The prince of lions returned to the ground. “My father will be furious when he finds out I lost my things… and he sees me come home in my underwear!” The lion's cheeks blushed as red as his mane. “Calm down dude. I can help you with that.” Grumlo said, feeling somewhat responsible for what happened. Even if the gorillas lost their loincloths and accessories, there was no problem, since they make their things mainly from leaves and vines. But this is a different case. “I don't know where your things are. But I have something to help you with your problem.” --- The sun was going down and the first stars began to shine in the sky. The lion guards were lighting the torches in and around the temple. Standing at the bottom of the stairs was the king of the lions with his trusted guards. “When does Laval plan to return? It's already getting dark and he hasn't returned." The gray-haired lion said, starting to get impatient. His son had left early and he hadn't heard from him all day. Lagravis, as a king, mostly knew the traditions of the gorillas. They were supposed to finish hours ago. Part of Lagravis was worried about his son and another part thinks that maybe his son escaped and went to play there. Longtooth casually approaches the king. “Come on Lagravis, Laval is still young. He might be spending some time with his friend. Laval will be here soon.” Lagravis sighs, listening to his old friend and decides to wait a little longer. The wait was rewarded when Laval's speedorz appeared in the distance and began to approach the temple. Although leaving the lions surprised in their wake. Lagravis finally saw his son when he stopped a few meters away. “Laval!?” The prince of the lions gets out of his speedorz with a very… natural outfit. Laval was wearing a loincloth of leaves which swayed in the slightest breeze, his forearms and torso had red lines painted on them to represent him as a warrior, he wore a necklace of blue flowers resting on his shoulders and a headband made of branches with a yellow flower decorating the center. After the shock of seeing Laval dressed like that passed, the surrounding lions began to laugh out loud, some even falling to the ground from the strong fit of laughter. Laval could feel his face burning with shame like never before. “H-Hello dad… you're probably wondering what happened… which will make a great chat for breakfast tomorrow!” Laval said, intending to flee to his room with the intention of locking himself there for at least a week. But Lagravis, who was also laughing, stopped his son. “Hahahahahahahahahaha!” Only his son managed to make the old lion laugh so much. Once the lion king managed to calm his laughter enough to speak he stood up straight again. “Well, Laval, it looks like you've had a very… interesting day with the gorillas. I and the lion council are eager to hear about your learning experience.” Laval bites his lower lip, looks around him and then back at his father. "Now?" Lagravis nods. “This will certainly be more educational than a day at the library.” The lion king, the prince, and more guards than necessary entered the lion temple to gather in the throne room, where Laval would have to tell everyone about his experiences that day. A story that will surely be repeated for weeks and will spread throughout Chima. Without a doubt, a story to remember.
