A/N: Okay, this is my first story and this chapter is REALLY short, but I'm new to writing so I gave it my best shot.
The Beginning
Chapter 1: Nala
The sun was rising in the Pridelands, signaling the start of a new day. The prince, a young lion cub named Simba, was awake and ready to start his day. "Mom! I'm going down to the water hole!" he yelled as he walked out of the den. He made his way down Pride Rock and to the water hole.
When he arrived at his destination, all of the other cubs were gathered in a circle. Simba walked over to the circle and sat down next to a cub. "What's going on?" Simba asked. He saw that there were two lioness cubs in the middle of the circle glaring at each other. "These two are going to fight!" the cub next to him exclaimed. One of the lioness cubs had bright green eyes and a reddish tint to her fur. The other was a light creamy color with teal eyes. "Come on Uzuri!" a cub yelled, "You can take her!" "Oh, don't worry, this won't take long." The reddish cub answered. The two cubs jumped at each other and tackled each other. They rolled around on the ground until Uzuri pinned the light colored cub down. Uzuri raised a paw and said "Okay Nala, you're about to learn whose in charge around here!"
"That would be me!" Simba shouted as he ran to the two cubs. "Now both of you stop fighting!" he yelled.
Uzuri got off of Nala and said "Well she deserved it! She said I'm nothing but a bully that thinks I'm better than everyone else." "Well you are!" Nala shouted. Simba looked at Uzuri. "Go away before I tell my dad about this." he said. "Fine… but we're not finished." Uzuri said, glaring at Nala. Uzuri walked away. "Well, there goes our excitement of the day..." A cub said as the others left too. Simba looked at Nala and saw she was upset. "Come on Nala, let's take a walk" Simba said. This seemed to brighten Nala's mood.
Simba and Nala were walking around the water hole together. "So Nala, how long have you been living here?" Simba asked. "Only a few days." Nala replied "I was trying to make some friends when Uzuri just started insulting me and trying to make it seem she's better than me." She said. "Yeah, she's like that." Simba answered. There was a moment of silence between them until Simba broke it. "So… what do you want to do? I don't really have any friends either." He said. Nala then replied "So we're friends?" Nala asked. "Yes." Simba responded. The two cubs ran off and spent the rest of the day playing and exploring the Pridelands.
Later that evening, Simba and Nala went into the den and fell to the floor, tired from playing all day. "Hey Nala, tomorrow we're going somewhere really cool." Simba whispered. "Where?" she asked. Then Simba replied "The Outlands."
A/N: Please review/comment i know i can get better, but like i said, I'm new to writing. Also, the next chapter will be longer.
