Prologue: My Place is Next to You

Pride Rock was rejoiceful once again as the former outsiders had now joined Simba's Pride, and everyone realized the truth Kiara had spoken to them. "We are one." Kiara and Kovu had brought peace to the pride and the Pridelands. Knowing that the Circle of Life never ends, Kiara found out she was soon to have a cub to be the heir to their kingdom. Rafiki knew Kiara had proved herself a wise princess, and it was time for her to become the new queen of Pride Rock. Along with her loving and devoted mate, Kovu, everyone watched as the sun set that night, and Simba and Nala stepped down from their positions King and Queen. The next morning, before dawn, the animals of the Pridelands gathered once again to watch the sun rise on Pride Rock and Kiara and Kovu proudly embark to the top. Once they reached the pinnacle of Pride Rock, Kovu and Kiara looked at each other, smiled, and roared for their new kingdom. The animals, in return, cheered and jumped for joy for their new King and Queen. Cheering, they bowed to Queen Kiara and King Kovu. Then Kovu turned and nuzzled Kiara, and the two of them nuzzled lovingly for a moment before turning back to look out at their New Kingdom.
