This is my first ever fanfic. I finally got up the courage to post something ;)

Alright, let's say that instead of Kiara meeting Kovu she met Vitani.

Chapter 1

Vitani was bored. She watched Zira training Kovu. She wished she was the chosen one. She was tougher than Kovu anyway, and with the special training Kovu was getting she would easily be able to overthrow Simba. But then Scar had chosen Kovu, and Vitani's training was pushed to the sidelines.

"Nuka!" called Zira. Vitani watched her brother stepped forward.

"Yes mother?" he asked.

"Show Kovu the Pridelands," she ordered. Vitani watched her brothers walk off. She decided to trail them. She had never been to Look-out point, a small mountain which had incredible view over the Pridelands. She crept alongside them. They walked in silence, until Nuka spotted a mouse. As he tried to catch it, Kovu began to sneak off. Vitani ran over to cut him off.

"Where are you going Kovu?" she asked.

"Nowhere."

"Well you should be going to Look-out point. Go on then!" she said snidely. Kovu glowered at her and walked back to Nuka.

Vitani turned and ran off towards the lake. Now she had blown her cover she couldn't follow them anymore. She stopped by a long log which led to the Pridelands. She could hear something coming down it. Or, more accurately rolling down it. Vitani jumped to the side as a pretty lion cub landed in a heap on the floor.

"Who are you?" demanded Vitani.

"I," said the lion cub in a prissy voice, "am Princess Kiara. Vitani looked at her.

"And what is your name?" asked Kiara.

"I'm Vitani."

"Do you live here?" asked Kiara. Vitani nodded. "Cool!" said Kiara. Vitani walked over to the lake and pointed.

"Do you see that rock?" Kiara nodded. "Would you jump on it?"

"I could try," said Kiara, a little bit confused.

"Don't" said Vitani turning to face her. "It's a crocodile."

Kiara smiled. "Wow, I would never have guessed that it was a crocodile!" A mouse scuttled past.

"Can you catch mice as well?" asked Kiara.

"Of course!" said Vitani.

"Prove it!" cried Kiara. Vitani smirked. She got low to the ground and crept towards the mouse. She pounced, caught it in her paws and swallowed it whole. "Cool," said Kiara.

Vitani grinned.

"You know what? I think we're going to be friends," she said.
