Diclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE LION KING!


Chapter One

"Ugh, it's so boring." I said, throwing a rock at my brother. He yelped and scratched his dark brown mane.

"Hey, if it wasn't for you, I'd be outside right now. Not stuck in a cave." he snipped. I shrugged my shoulders and stood up, shaking my light brown coat.

"If it wasn't for you, I'd be with the hunting group." I replied nonchalantly. He growled and turned his back towards me. "I mean, I'm still just a teenager, but I'm still pretty good. You have to admit that."

I rolled the 'have' in a hypnotizing way. Apparently it didn't work because he turned at me with an irritated expression. "If it wasn't for you, I'd be playing with Sarina right now."

"Hey, you're a teenager, she's a teenager, and nothing is going to happen in a few minutes." I replied walking to him. "Besides, you met her only because she was my friend."

"Children, stop fighting, you're giving me a headache." a male voice sounded from the cave entrance. I turned and saw my dad, his black mane and dark coat standing in the sunlight.

"Dad!" I exclaimed running to him just as Kamitre said "Daddy's little girl."

I nuzzled my dad and smiled up at him. "How are you?" he asked me with his booming voice.

"Good, how was your exploring trip?" I asked.

"Never better, and I met someone I'd like you to meet. He needed a place to stay so I took him in."

I peeked behind my dad and saw a dark yellow teenage male with a dark brown mane. "Who's he?" I asked.

"This is Kopa. His family is leader of a pride nearby. I'm going to visit them tomorrow." my father replied. "Now, I'm putting Kamitre in charge of showing Kopa around. You can go along Kamaria."

After my father walked away, Kamitre walked up to Kopa carefully. "You're not a spy or something are you?" he asked. Kopa gave a weird look and shook his head.

"So, why are you here if you're not with your pride?" I asked being my usual curious self.

"My mom and dad, Kiara and Kovu, were outraged with me because I went someplace I wasn't allowed to go. They're not even the king and queen yet! My grandmother and grandfather are." he answered. "So I ran away. I looked for food and ran into your dad. He's nice."

"Oh, well, the hunting party should be back soon. You'll get enough to eat, since I'm royalty." I said. He raised his brow and smiled at me.

"Oh really? I'm royalty where I come from too." he said with a smirk.

"Oh, well then I guess you know EVERYTHING then?" I replied. He shook his head and chuckled. "That's what I thought."

"You don't know everything either princess. How about a little challenge? After I live here for a while, you live with me and we'll quiz each other."

"You're on, prepare to eat my knowledge." I laughed. He smiled and we started off after Kamitre, racing each other.

Maybe this guy won't be so bad after all I thought.


A/N: So did you like it? This is just another random pride that I made. And for those of you confused, Kiara and Kovu name Kopa after Kiara's dead brother. Review please!
