Finding Simba

Chapter 1

The sun shone brightly over a very lush land as a lion and a lioness were making their way across the land. The lion was large and powerful with golden-brown fur. His toes belly and under eyeshades are a lighter color and he has a massive red mane and reddish brown eyes. The lioness was dark beige with a lighter color toes, belly and eyeshades. She has dark brown ear rims and reddish brown eyes.

The lion and lioness stopped at a large mastic rock.

"Wow." Said the lion

"Mmm."

"Wow."

"Mmm-hmm."

"Wow."

"Yes, Mufasa. No, I see it. It's beautiful."

"So, Sarabi, when you said you wanted a great view, you didn't think that we we're gonna get a really great view, did you? Huh?"

The lioness giggled and licked the lion's cheek and said "No, I didn't"

The lion chuckled and said "Did your man deliver or did he deliver?"

"My man delivered."

Mufasa smiled and looked at the lioness and said "And it wasn't so easy."

Sarabi looked from the rock at the lion and said "Because a lot of other lions had their eyes on this place"

"You better believe they did-every single one of them"

"Mm-hmm. You did well. And the neighborhood is awesome." Said Sarabi turning and looking at the view

"So, you do like it, don't you?"

"No, no. I do, I do. I really do like it. But Mufasa, I know that the drop off is desirable with the great schools and the amazing view and all, but do we really need so much space?"

"Sarabi, honey, these are our kids we're talking about. They deserve the best. Look, look, look. They'll wake up, poke their little heads out and they'll see the sunset and rise"

"Shhh, you're gonna wake the kids." Said Sarabi walking off a bit to a bush

"Oh, right. Right." Agreed Mufasa following his mate

"Aww, look. They're dreaming."

Inside the bush was twelve cubs sleeping

"We still have to name them." Sarabi continued

"You wanna name all of 'em, right now? All right, we'll name this half Mufasa Jr. and then this half Sarabi Jr. Okay, we're done." Laughed Mufasa as he walked away b but stopped

"I like Simba" said Sarabi looking at a golden brown cub

"Simba? Well, we'll name one Simba but I'd like most of them to be Mufasa Jr."

Then Mufasa looked at his mate and said "What if they don't like me?"

"Mufasa" Sarabi chuckled

"No, really." Said Mufasa looking at the cubs

Sarabi nuzzled Mufasa and said "There are twelve cubs. Odds are, one of them is bound to like you"

Mufasa smiled and glazed at Sarabi lovingly

Sarabi felt her mate eyes on her and looked at him and asked "What?"

Mufasa smiled and nuzzled Sarabi and asked "You remember how we met?"

Sarabi rolled her eyes and said "Well, I try not to."

"Well, I remember.'Excuse me, miss, can you check and see if there's a hole in my lip?'" said Mufasa

"Mufasa!" yelled Sarabi as she ran off to cave inside the massive rock

"'Well, you gotta look a little closer because it's…"

"Get away!" yelled playfully as she sped up

"Here he is. Cutie's here! Where did everybody go?" said Mufasa once he got to the cave

He looked over at the peak and saw Sarabi looking down. He followed her glaze and saw a pack of hyenas.

"[Gasps] Sarabi, get inside the cave, Sarabi. No, Sarabi, don't. They'll be fine. Just get inside right now"

In a split sec. things changed. Sarabi rushed to her cubs' safety and tried to fight off the hyenas. Mufasa rushed after her, but it was too late.

"No!"

"Sarabi! Sarabi?" Mufasa cried as he lay by his mate's dead body

Mufasa was about to walk away when he heard a soft cry.

Mufasa looked in the bush to see the golden cub Sarabi took interest into earlier.

Mufasa cuddled the cub and nuzzled him and said "Ohh. There, there, there. Its okay, daddy's here. Daddy's got you. I promise, I will never let anything happen to you...Simba"
