The Lion King III
Chapter 1 - Simba's Fear
The dawning of the day was upon the pride as the king looked out to his lands. In the distance Simba noticed two figures strangely reminiscent to Timon and Pumbaa running through the tall blades of grass. Simba smiled to himself as he watched them make their way back into the Pride Lands toward Pride Rock. He had been waiting a fortnight for them and they had finally arrived, hopefully with good news. As the shadow was lifted with the rising of the sun his queen came to him and nuzzled up the side of him. Soon after, Kiara left the pride to join her mother and father. The princess was energetic even through the early hours of the day. Soon after, Kovu managed to make his way toward the royal three. He purposely stood next to Kiara, farthest from Simba. Although he had been granted a pardon and was permitted to stay with Simba's pride, he felt as if Simba was still feeling a bit uneasy around him. Especially since Timon and Pumbaa had left.
"What are you guys looking at?" Kovu said looking across the grasslands. Then he saw them. Timon and Pumbaa back from their little, secret mission from the king. Simba had been very secretive, lately. He no longer told anyone what was going on, not even his beautiful queen, Nala. Although it was generally in Nala's nature to pry, she did not for some reason-at least not about the mission Simba had sent Timon and Pumbaa on. It was possible that she had already known the reason, but no one knew if that was true or not. Once Timon and Pumbaa reached Pride Rock, Simba made a motion as if to tell everyone else to leave. Slowly, Nala nudged Kiara and Kovu to disappear as Simba descended to meet up with the meer cat and warthog. They were given a brief and warm welcome back and then Simba jumped right into business.
"What have you two found?" said the king as he scanned the rock to make sure that they were completely isolated.
"Sire, we searched high and low in the Pride Lands and then in the Outlands and…" started Pumbaa before he was rudely interrupted by Timon:
"And, sire-it's true! Mwhaa, ha!" he cried in his characteristically loud and Timon-like voice. As soon as Simba heard this, however, his eyes went into narrow, ferocious slits and a fierce and violent roar was emitted from his mouth. The affirmative answer was exactly what Simba had feared for himself and his pride.
