It all started one fine morning, with Simba and Nala resting on Pride Rock overlooking the Savannah.
"Oh, what a good morning," said Simba.
"Yep. You said it, Simba," replied Nala.
After relaxing for a bit, Nala gets up and tells Simba, "Well, I'm gonna go check on Kiara and Kovu, see if they're up yet."
"All right, dear," smiled Simba as Nala went inside. Simba just stayed there, looking down at his kingdom and enjoying the scenery and cool breeze.
All of a sudden, the clouds separate and Mufasa emerges from the sky.
"Simba," he called out to his son.
"Father?", asked Simba.
"Simba, there is urgent news I must tell you."
"Well, what is it?"
"Rafiki is not feeling too well and will require your assistance immediately. Go to him," said Mufasa.
"Oh! Right, of course! I'll get to it right away! Thanks for telling me!", said Simba.
With that, Mufasa disappeared back into the clouds. Simba then ran inside, where Nala was with Kiara and Kovu, who were now awake.
"Nala! Nala!", Simba called.
"What's wrong, Simba?", Nala asked, worried.
"I'll be back shortly. There's some business I have to take care of. I just got word that Rafiki's sick and I gotta go help him!"
"Oh, well, be careful out there!", said Nala.
"I will! See ya!" With that, Simba ran off as fast as he could as Nala watched him disappear out of her sight.
