Disclaimer: I do not own The Lion King, The Lion King 2, or any characters beside Enzu, Chuma, Kana, Sauda, and Adimu.
I'm only doing the disclaimer for this first chapter.
It was a beautiful, sunny day over the Pridelands. At Pride Rock, the lionesses were all gathered around Kiara. Kovu and Simba were also there. Kovu was smiling proudly, looking down at his and Kiara's two newborn sons. One had golden fur, and emerald green eyes. He also had a delicate pink Pridelander nose. He was the older of the two royal cubs. He cuddled into his warm mother happily. His slightly younger brother had chestnut brown fur, a cream coloured muzzle, and ruby eyes. He looked up at his parents, blinking.
"Enzu," Kiara breathed, focusing on her golden son. "And Chuma," she continued, looking to her chestnut son. Kovu smiled.
"Those are great names, Kiara," he said, nuzzling his mate. Kiara smiled at him. Simba and Nala moved to nuzzle their daughter. She nuzzled them back. Rafiki arrived a few minutes later, and then scooped up Enzu. He wiped the royal fruit juice on his forehead. Enzu rolled his eyes to try to look at where the juice was, but then sneezed. Rafiki chuckled, and then took him up to the peak. He held him up in the light, letting the animals of the Pridelands view the new Prince. Enzu looked around excitedly. Mufasa, Simba's father and Enzu and Chuma's great grandfather, smiled down from above. Rafiki took Enzu back down to his parents very shortly. The old mandrill then took Chuma, wiping the juice on his forehead. The brown cub tried to swat Rafiki's hand, but he missed. Rafiki carried him up to the peak, and presented the second Prince. After a minute, the mandrill brought Chuma back down to Kiara and Kovu, who smiled widely. Kiara and Kovu nuzzled both their sons as they drifted off to sleep.
Shortly after, a dark furred lioness with several scars carried over a new, also dark furred cub, who had tiny very pale yellow spots of fur on her hindquarters. The scarred lioness laid down beside Kiara, and gently set her cub down in her arms. The cub blinked at Kiara few times, and then yawned. She cuddled into her mother as she fell asleep.
"Your cubs are cute, Kiara!" Kana exclaimed. Kiara grinned at her childhood friend.
"Your cub is cute as well," Kiara commented. Kana smiled in thanks. The two new mothers smiled down at their new cubs proudly. Vitani approached her brother, followed by a small rusty red coloured cub, whom had tiny streaks of silver in her fur. She also had silver coloured dots around her eyes, and a silver triangular mark coming up from her nose. She jumped around, excited to see her two new cousins.
"Congratulations, Kovu!" Vitani greeted. Kovu smiled.
"Hello, Vitani...Are you excited to see your new cousins, Adimu?" Kovu answered. The rusty red cub, Adimu, nodded vigorously. "Well, they're asleep right now, but you can still look at them," the lion said. Adimu bounced over to where Kiara and Kana were lying with their cubs. The young lioness peered down at Enzu and Chuma.
"Man, their so tiny! I can't wait to play with them!" Adimu announced. She looked over at the tiny dark cub.
"So, what's this one's name?" Adimu asked excitedly.
"Her name is Sauda," Kana replied. Adimu smiled widely.
"So, there's Enzu and Chuma and Sauda. I bet they'll all be lots of fun when they get a bit older!" Adimu shouted. The three tiny cubs stirred a little. Adimu jumped back, scared that she had woken the newborns up.
"I'm sorry! I'll be more quiet," the rusty cub said, a little more quietly. Vitani walked over.
"You're not being troublesome, are you Adimu?" Vitani asked. Adimu shook her head excitedly.
"Hey, look Timon, that cub looks like she's having a seize-up," a familiar voice spoke.
"That's seizure, Pumbaa. Man, what a mook!" the resident meerkat, Timon, said. The two friends were approaching. Adimu leapt straight into their path, growling lightly.
"I'll show you a mook!" she exclaimed, and she started to bat Timon around like a toy. The meerkat was shrieking shrilly, attracting Simba and Nala's attention. The two raised an eyebrow upon seeing the spectacle. Adimu managed to toss Timon into the air like a pro, although she was very careful not to really hurt him.
"Help! Help me, Pumbaa!" Timon exclaimed, rising and falling through the air, flipping and spinning. Pumbaa jumped from side to side, worried, yet not knowing how to help his tiny friend. Simba and Nala began to laugh. Kovu, Kiara and Kana all snickered.
"Okay, Adimu, put him down," Vitani said. Adimu gracefully caught Timon between her paws gently, and set him down. Timon shuddered, and dusted himself off.
"Humph!" he responded, and standing as tall as he could, which wasn't very tall, he marched over to Simba.
"Hey Simba, old buddy, old pal...You couldn't have lent a paw?" Timon asked, smacking Simba's foreleg lightly.
"Err...Sorry, Timon," Simba replied, smiling.
"Meerkat juggling seems to be the new trend," Kana piped up, sending everyone except Timon into a fit of giggles.
"Hey, the funny is my thing!" Timon exclaimed loudly. Sauda quickly popped her tiny head up over her mom's arms to peer at Timon in surprise and confusion. Timon walked over to her.
"Well now, this one seems to be more my size!" Timon said, making even the newborn giggle. She reached out one dark paw and prodded him, curious. Timon jumped back in a funny manner.
"Hey, paws off!" Timon responded. Simba walked over and bent down.
"Relax Timon; she's never seen a meerkat before. She's just curious," Simba told him. Timon looked to be in awe.
"Never seen a meerkat before? This poor deprived child! What are you monsters doing to her?" Timon asked quickly. Sauda tried to reach out to poke Timon again.
"Timon, she was born very recently. She hasn't seen much of anything yet," Simba said, batting the meerkat towards the curious young cub gently.
"Hey!" Timon protested. "What do you think I am, a toy?" he asked. In response, Kana leaned her head down, and licked Timon's back slowly, causing him to shudder. Also, his fur on his back was standing straight up, so it looked humorous. As all the lions started laughing, even Pumbaa joined in.
"I don't see what's so funny!" Timon exclaimed, crossing his arms.
I hope you enjoyed it! I figured that since every other Lion King 3 story I read, it never really has Timon or Pumbaa in it (alive), I'd feature the two in the very first chapter. Besides, I needed something to take up space LOL. I hope their not TOO out of character!
Review please!
