Notes from the Author: I like the lion king like most people. What I do not like is how in lion king one the baby is a boy and in two its a girl. So this is how I would make it with Kopa instead of Kiara and this is ch1.

Lion King Two: Simba's Pride with Kopa instead of Kiara

Chapter one: The Ceremony and a Warning

The day began in the Pridelands, but it had an unusual glow. The sun was brightly shining. The grass was tall and all the animals of the Pridelands were heading out from their homes to reach the ceremony. Every animal was out from the meerkats to the elephants, and all were headed in the same direction. They were waiting see their new prince of the Pridelands.

At Priderock. Simba and Nala were anxiously waiting for Rafiki's arrival in order to begin their Ceremony.

"We should name him Mufasa," Simba said.

Nala disagreed and said that they should name their son Simba.

Simba said that he didn't want his son named after him and that he deserved a good name-one worthy of a powerful king like Mufasa.

Nala said that he needed to be gracious and merciful as a king like Simba.

Simba said, "My name isn't graceful or merciful."

Then Nala and Simba agreed that they needed something that meant a mighty ruler, yet had a softer side.

Kopa was his name chosen as the two turned around to see the wise Baboon walking up behind them.

Rafiki said that Mufasa came to him in the form of wind and said that he was to be named Kopa, which means heart.

Simba said under his breath that the name is alittle girly,

but he liked it and so did Nala. Simba and Nala walked to the edge of Priderock where they are praised and bowed to by the animals below. Then Rafiki took Kopa and raise him in the air before the onlookers as they gladly excepted their new prince.

Though Simba's entire kingdom was happy about the birth of their new prince, deep in the tall grass, far behind the heard of animals was Zira, an enemy of Simba's pride and the leader of the Outsiders. The Outsiders were exiled to the Outlands for continuing to be loyal to Scar even in his death. Zira watched for a moment and turned around to return to the Outlands. Rafiki put Kopa down and placed him back into the paws of his mother. He called Simba over because they needed to talk.

Simba followed Rafiki away from the Lioness's and asked Rafiki if everything was okay.

Rafiki told Simba that Mufasa had said that Kopa would be an excellent boy—strong, cunning, and wise like his father. But Mufasa also came to him with a warning that in Kopa's future, there was a lioness from the Outlands. She teaches evil and hatred to her cubs. One day they may pose a threat and he saw a great battle between Simba's pride and the Outsiders. Rafiki went on to say that Zira may even try to kill his cub even before a battle between the prides begins. Simba told Rafiki that he faced this lioness before, and that she was as ruthless and evil as Scar. Rafiki told Simba to train Kopa to be strong and wise so that he would not lose his son or his pride.

Simba said, "Thank you Rafiki. I will train my son as well as I can to be strong and wise." Rafiki answered, "That is what is needed to be done to save the Pridelands Simba." As Rafiki was walking out to return to his home, he also told Simba that one of Zira's cubs was handpicked by Scar to be his successor. Again Simba thanked Rafiki for warning him of the coming danger. Then Rafiki left.

When Simba returned home, he decided to tell Nala some of what Rafiki told him. Nala responded that she would make sure that Simba didn't go overboard, and the two laughed. As the two continued to laugh,

Timon and Pumba walked in to greet their new prince. "Hey Simba. What's the little guy's name?

Simba said that his name was Kopa.

Pumba bowed and said, "Kopa your majesty, I shall humbly serve you with my life my Leigh.

" Timon slaped him on the back of the head and said to Pumba,

"Don't be stupid. He is just a baby." Pumba says, "Oh, sorry Timon."

Timon said, "Ah, it's okay Pumba."

And they decided go to eat some bugs. They jokingly argued in the background over the crunch of slimy bugs.

Simba looked into Kopa's eyes and said, "As soon as you are old enough, you will be ready to begin your training."

He asked Nala, "What do think he will be like when he grows up?"

She responded by saying, "He will be a strong and noble king just like his father."

Simba said, "I just hope that in the days to come, he does not get into the trouble that we used to get into."

Nala said, "What do you mean by we?"

Simba said, "You know you got into just as much trouble as I did."

Nala smiled and quickly answered, "Only because of you."

Simba said, "You didn't have to follow me into that elephant graveyard Nala. Why did you?"

Nala said, "I did it because I love you Simba, and I always will."

As she nuzzles by him and she licks his cheeks, the two lay down and fall asleep beside their newborn son.
