Chapter 1
Nala lay under the shade of the tree near the waterhole, lounging around and watching all the other cubs play tag and enjoy themselves. Next to her was her best friend Kula, she laid next to Nala with her eyes closed with a smile on her face. She enjoyed everyday just lying under the same tree and simply relaxing. Nala sighed, as much as she loved to relax with her best friend, today she was kind of…bored. She laid her head down trying to think of something she could do.
Nala looked to her left and saw two male cubs talking at the other side of the waterhole. One had a dark brown coat with even darker brown tail tuft. His eyes had a red shading to it, and his underbelly had a lighter brown color. The other one had Nala's full attention. His coat was a handsome shade of gold, and his tail tuft was a nice shading of brown. But the thing that she couldn't resist staring at was his eyes. She was completely hypnotized at them. Their amber glow gave her a strange feeling of safety. Was she developing a crush? She didn't know how long she was staring at them, for it certainly worried Kula. She wondered why Nala was being so quiet. She opened her eyes to see Nala staring across the waterhole. She stood up and came closer to her.
"Nala? Nala? Nala!" Kula yelled.
Nala snapped out of her trance and darted her head at Kula. "What? What is it?" She managed to say.
"What were you staring at?" Kula asked.
"Nothing!" Nala blushed lowering her head to avoid eye contact.
Kula looked over to where Nala was staring at before. She noticed a golden colored male cub relaxing in the sun. She smiled deviously and looked back at Nala.
"Ohhh I get it. You like him don't you?" Kula teased.
"W-what? What a-are you talking about?" Nala blushed.
"That boy over there." She pointed. "You like him don't you?"
Nala blushed harder. "I don't know what you're talking about. I- I was just watching those boys talk."
"Boys?" She asked. "All I see is one."
"W-what? No there's another boy. He has brown fur." Nala explained.
Kula shook her head. "Nope don't see him, sorry."
Nala stood up and looked back at the boys. Kula was telling the truth, there was only the one.
"B-but I-" Nala began.
"Oooooh Nala! Maybe I should bring him over here!" Kula laughed as she quickly rushed over to him.
Nala's cheeks burned. "N-no Kula don't!" She pleaded and ran after her.
Nala quickly caught up to Kula and pounced on her, sending the two cubs tumbling together. Both girls tumbled right into the golden male. Kula managed to escape just in time before Nala and the boy crashed right into a tree. Nala clutched onto anything that was near her. She slowly opened her eyes and noticed that she was holding onto something warm. She looked up and saw the boy she had hoped not to run into. Nala noticed the awkward position they were in. She was laying under him with her legs sprawled out to, and she held onto him under his arms by her claws. But the worse thing was that their muzzles were so close one wrong move could lead to a kiss. Nala blushed so hard it burned. Kula ran over to see what happened to the two after the crashed into the tree. "Nala! Are you oka-" She began before also realizing the position the two were in. She immediately burst into laughter. "Nal-Nala! Should I- Hahaha L-leave you two a-alone? Hahaha!" Kula teased while laughing. Nala looked back up in horror at the golden cub, as he opened his eyes with a groan. He scanned all around him with a quizzical look, suddenly he dropped his gaze down to his resting place. He stared blankly at Nala for a few seconds before his eyes widened in realization. His look of shock became a full on grin as he looked down at her flashing his pearly whites.
"I-I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to-" She began.
"It's alright, accident's happen. Are you okay?" He asked.
Nala blushed, "I'm fine, thanks."
She hesitantly let go of him and the two got to their feet. "So, what's your name?" He smiled.
"I-I'm Nala." She answered.
"I'm Simba, or as Zazu calls me, Prince Simba."
Nala's eyes widened. "P-Prince!" She exclaimed.
"Surprised?" He asked, looking at her confused.
"Well.. yeah! A little.." She admitted. Now she knew she had no chance with him.
Nala turned to her friend and said "Let's go kula"
"Wait don't leave!" Simba cried out a little louder then he meant to. He let out a small cough and continued, "My friend Chumvi had to go take a bath, and now I have nobody to play with."
Nala hesitated for a moment, it would be nice for her to have some fun for a change, instead of relax the whole day away.
"Hmmm.. Okay, what do you want to play?" She said, as she turned around to face him.
"How about hide and seek?" he asked.
"Not it!" Simba and Nala chimed, in unison. They looked over expectantly at Kula, who was cleaning her paw. She glance up at them with a bored look on her face.
"Oh... Hi im Kula"
