chapter 1 - The sunrise
The sun was just about to rise over the Pridelands. It would be a beautiful start to a beautiful day, but today something would happen that would make the day far away from ever being called perfect. The reason for this is, as always, lions.
A young golden lioness walked into the den and gently nudged a brown lion awake. "Hm, morning already?' mumbled Kovu.
"Close - sunrise, " corrected the lioness, also known as Kiara, "don't you wan to watch your first sunrise in the Pride lands?"
"Of course," replied Kovu as he started to walk toward the entrance with her. Kiara smiled. As they walked outside they saw that Simba and Nala were watching the sunrise as well. Kovu seemed embarrassed to have stumbled upon the couple, but Kiara had done this often when she was a cub. "Can we join you?" asked Kiara. Simba and Nala spun around is sunrise, but they were smiling. "Of course, " said Simba. So just as the royal family sat down together, the sun started to rise. Kovu was awed. Even though it had been a few days since the war, he had never seen the sunrise in the Pridelands…until now. The sky seemed to explode with color. It was a breath taking sight. After the sun was all the way above the horizon, "Daddy, Kovu and I are going to get a drink from the watering hole," called Kiara as she and Kovu started the walk. "Kiara, wait!" called Simba, "not today, we're expecting company."
"Oh, Simba," said Nala, then turning to Kiara and Kovu, "run along you two." Kiara and Kovu started walking again. "Make sure you're back before they get here!' called Simba. As Kovu and Kiara walked along they started talking. "How could you walk in on your parents at a time like that, and be so calm and not embarrassed?" Kovu asked suddenly.
"Well, I guess I did it so often as a cub I got used to it." answered Kiara as they reached the watering hole. They started to quench their thirst, when Kiara remembered how they had stumbled upon her parents. "Wasn't the sunrise beautiful?" asked Kiara. "Yeah, it was," said Kovu. After a moments pause "Just like you," he added as he affectionately nuzzled her. Kiara was a bit caught off guard by this, and as a result she felt into the water, pulling Kovu in with her. When they both surfaced, they looked at each other. After a moment of this, they started to laugh and splash each other. As they began to shake off on land, they noticed a lion pride was moving toward Priderock. "What do you think that was about?" asked Kiara.
"Didn't your father say something about company?" answered Kovu.
Kiara remembered. "Come on!' she exclaimed as she broke into a run, "he said to be back before they arrived!" So the two lions, still dripping wet, raced toward Priderock.
Thats the end of chapter one! I hope you all liked it. Sorry it's short, but I'm gonna try and fix that in later chapters. Please review, but no flames. :.)
