Hello, this is my story and I am Rosethorn.
I was a human back on HQ Earth. It was a typical day like any other day, dressing up, putting on my black t-shirt, blue jeans, and tan sneakers. I was heading down below to HQ from my occasional apartment to hang out with my clanmates and talk things with my leader, Sunrise. The sun was shining, the birds chirping and the thunder of cars going by.
I went to a building that you'd think is abandoned, but it is really not. The building was called Upworld House, and there, I met my leader, Sunrise. "What's news?" she would rely as a code, and if everything is safe, I would say, "Nothing new, same old". But if it is not safe, then I would say "New things, strange". But today is safe as I earlier patrolled the territory, so I replied the safe code to her. Sunrise nodded and led the way as I followed her into Upworld. We saw usual faces and nodded to them as greetings. We walked to the elevator that heads down to HQ and made small talk in the elevator while it is going down. The elevator opens to a wonderful, yet unique sight.
HQ is bustling with clanmates and the portal is shiny as ever and waiting for someone, which is myself. I shivered in nervous excitment. Sunrise and I head off to the cafeteria through the main hallway with the library room and the meeting room along. Upon entering the cafeteria, I saw my best friends waiting for me at one of the closest tables. I smiled at them and turned to Sunrise. She said we will talk later and went off to the other main hallway that led to her room and other clanmates'. I went to get breakfast off the walk-through food stand and walked to eat with my best friends I mentioned earlier, which are Wolfpelt, and Mudfur.
"Hey, Rose, are you excited to be the first human to go into a different world?!" Wolfpelt happily exclaimed.
"To be honest, I am, but I am also nervous. I mean, sure, we tested the portal already, but what if something happens?" I quietly reply.
"Come on, Rosie, Wolf here already tested the portal this morning and it is working fine. Where's your attitude and what is the motto you always say?" said a smiling Mudfur.
I sighed, "Hakuna Matata." and smiled.
"Now you're talking, attitude!" semi-shouted Mudfur.
"You know that he is always right, Rose, and I mean, on bragging rights." said a smirked Wolfpelt.
"Hey, I am right!" exclaimed an excited Mudfur.
I laughed softly and knew they are both right. I can do it. I am happy that I got a great support behind me always.
Later, after breakfast and small talk with Wolfpelt and Mudfur, I head off to talk with Sunrise at her room. We have pattern doors in the hallway, red doors is for women, and blue doors is for men. We place clanmates on their favorite number. Sunrise chose number 23, and I chose number 25. I knocked on her door and she answered it by asking if the coast is clear. I told her that it is, she nodded, and I came in.
Her room, in a word, is pretty just like Sunrise herself. Purple curtains on the door walk-through, dark blue walls with her favorite animal paintings of cheetahs, tigers, horses, and bears. Her bed covers is detailed with flowers of purplish-blue, has a dark oak desk near the bed, and a large snowflake carpet on the floor. Her bathroom is fancy in a way, black walls with green emerald paintings on them, a dark purple floor. The sink is dark cream in a Romanian style, the toilet is white, normal, and the shower tub is silver with purple shower curtains.
I faced Sunrise, and Sunrise said, "Do you remember the plans and my theories?". I told her yes. There are plans involving Sunrise's theories. Her theory is mainly about Kopa and Mheetu, whose selves might be real or not. If I got there between the movies' plot, I might save Kopa from Zira and meet Mheetu someway. Sunrise and I tolerated the second movie, yes, I am glad that Kiara and Kovu fell in love, but it is basically the same plot as the first. Firstly, Kiara didn't even want to be queen. She wants to be a huntress, and have fun. So if I protect Kopa, he could grow up to be a king which he always wanted, and Kiara could be free to express herself. Sunrise always likes to change things, so changing the plot would be the perfect challenge and I am the girl, er, future-lioness who could change that.
Yet, there was still the issue and theory of Zira. Somebody tore her ear somehow, and there's the cubs which is adopted or biologically. Kovu was adopted, and rescued from the Outlands, and we know that Nuka is biologically born of Scar and Zira. But, there is the confusing theory of Vitani, is she a daughter of a rogue lioness that Zira killed, or is she born of Zira with an absent rogue father, not Scar?
I am not going to follow the plot, for I will change lots of it. I would kill Zira if she attempts to kill Kopa and care of the cubs as if they are my own. Besides, somehow Zira took them to the Outlands when they were very young. Yes, Zira tried to care of them but her behavior is harsh and psychotic. I mean, she wanted to honor Scar in a scary way when he was already dead. The Outlands had little food, no water, which probably that the cubs was starved in a horrible way. I mean, look at Nuka, he grew up there, and he was awfully skinny.
If it was me, I would rename Nuka and Kovu, and keep Vitani's name for her. Nuka would be renamed "Naveen" and Kovu, "Kisa". Naveen means star and Kisa means strong. Kopa would fall over heads in love with Vitani and Kisa would do the same with Kiara. Still, there is Naveen. He would have a choice when he becomes an adult later.
I quickly finished my thoughts and turned to Sunrise. She said, "Good, then I have excellent news." "And what is that?", replied myself. She told me that the portal necklace is done and tested and ready for me. For traveling through dimensions, we have necklaces that tells HQ of when and where we are and tells us ourselves of when they want us to go back to tell of any issues we may have. The portal necklaces themselves have a stone symbol of what or where we would be. Mine is a head of a roaring lioness. Also, they will be invisible to others in the dimensions, just us travelers can see them.
I tuned back to Sunrise, who was speaking again, "Then I suggest you should get ready. Send-off is in a hour and you must be prepared for whatever happens once you enter the portal." I nodded slowly and as I thought of entering the portal for probably the thousandth time with shivers of nervous excitment down my spine, I went off leaving Sunrise and her room, to head for my room.
Like I said earlier that my door is number 25, it is also my lucky family number. I entered my room and I say in my opinion that it is magnificient. In my doorway, there are african beads hanging down in the entry, and my floor is made of dark baobob bark. The walls are light brown with african masks and pictures of lions and their prides. My bed is gold wth a mural of a rising sun, and near the bed is a zebrawood desk. My bathroom is great. The floor is again dark baobob bark, and the walls is dark blue with murals of all african flowers. The sink is made of fine stone in african style, and the toilet is cream, and the shower is pure black with Pride Rock shower curtains.
I fetched my portal necklace which was on my desk, and I changed clothes. I chose a black tank top and army khakis, and summer black crocs. It is going to be hot on the savannah and I prepare to be comfortable as possible. With my portal necklace on me, and my clothes dressed and ready, I left my room, and I went to find Wolfpelt and Mudfur. I found them in the library reading a book. I was curious to see what they are reading so I came behind them and roared. You should have seen their faces! They jumped at least 5 feet in the air and screamed. I laughed so hard that I didn't notice that they came down and saw me laughing at them. They looked at each other and smirked. They came at me and tackled me down. I was so shocked at their luck. They laughed and guffawed. I shrugged, and laughed along with them.
After the laughing and playing, we got up. I chuckled,"You are good, but not as good as me."
"Oh yeah, Rosie, I think you won the best of shocked expressions", smirked Mudfur.
"Don't forget that she has the best roar too", said teasingly Wolfpelt.
"Well, I think you both won something too", I smirked.
Wolfpelt and Mudfur smiled and agreed with me. I asked them about the book that they were reading earlier. They told me that the book features the colors and breeds of the prides of lions and lionesses. I shrugged and said that I accept what I will look like and I would be happy if my future look helps with the hunts I want to do.
Later, after talking and hanging out, I went to the lab with my friends behind. When I came in, I saw everybody standing around, smiling and crying. The portal was behind them, waiting to be turned on. Sunrise came forward and asked if I am ready. I told her that I am. Sunrise gave the signal and the portal instantly turned on, colors of the rainbow swirling around, and waiting for me. I turned to hug Wolfpelt and Mudfur and shook hands with the rest of the clanmates, and lastly, I looked at Sunrise and bowed in respect. She bowed back and gestured to the portal. I took a deep breath and came close to the portal, turning to see all everyone smiling and holding their breath. I turned back to the portal, watching the colors, and then finally, I went into it.
