Chapter 2: Meet The New Pride

Simba had hardly made it down the side of Priderock when he felt something grab hold of his leg. He looked down to see the three young cubs of the pride jumping on him. "Hi king Simba!" they all shouted. "Well hello little ones what are you all doing here?" the king asked. "We were just going back to our moms" Atsu one of the cubs said. "Wheres Timon and Pum" but before Simba could finish Timon and Pumba came running up panting. "Ok kids were home go see you moms and with that the cubs ran up the walkway.

"Those three are a handful" said Timon

"Is everything alright? You guys look exhausted." said Simba

"We were just walking home when they saw Priderock and got exited." Pumba stated

"Then they just bolted." Timon said leaning on Pumba.

"Just make sure the are alright you know they are very important especialy the boys." Simba said.

Atsu and Chipo were the two boys of the pride and the only two besides Kovu and Simba. There had been males in the pride when Simba was a cub but when Scar rose to power he outlawed all males. After that male lions were afraid to return with threats of death so the lionesses had to find rogue lions to mate with out of the Pridelands. Even after Simba became king males were still afraid to join the pride but Simba hoped that with Males already in the pride would make men feel like they could at least approach the pride and mate.

"Simba please you can trust us we watched Kiara didn't we" Timon said as if this would relax Simba

"You lost Kiara like everyday" Simba said with a smile on his face.

"Well now we have experience" Pumba said proudly and with they went to there small home next to Priderock. Simba smiled as they walked away they were great at watching the cubs when the cubs parents needed breaks and Timon and Pumba loved having cubs around because it reminded them of little Simba.
As Simba walked along Zazu and his assistant Kibwe. Kibwe was also Zazu's nephew and was learning to be the matrodomo for Kovu and Kiara. Zazu was getting older and planned on retiring when Simba would. But at the rate Kovu and Kiara were going Simba new that day was far away. So Simba took the morning report then quickly went to find the two mates and tell them of there pending training.


Kiara rested her head on Kovu's belly under a tree by the watering hole. As she looked up she thought her future with Kovu and all the time they were going to spend together.

"What'cha thinking 'bout" asked Kovu looking at Kiara.

"Oh just us... hey Kovu? What do you think about having a cub?" Kiara asked with curiosity.

"Now!" Kovu said a little surprised. "You think were ready? You think your parents will allow it?" He asked.

"Well we have to have cubs eventually and I've watching the other cubs quite a bit and think its time we had some." she said confidently.

"Kiara i'd love to have cubs with you but on one condition" he said "You have to not only talk to BOTH your parents and have there full blessing."

"Ok ill talk to them when they're in a good mood then they'll be all for it." she said with a smile on her face already planning how to get on there good side.

Just then Simba walked up and cleared his voice. Kiara rolled off of Kovu and they both stood up and faced the king.

"Hey daddy hows your morning rounds going" Kiara said

"Very good but there is something I need to talk to both of you about." he said in a serious tone. "Your mother and I both feel that you are spending to much time hanging around. You are both adults now and the future of this kingdom and we feel it is time you two began some training to prepare for your future responsibilities. Kiara looked a little disappointed but before she ad the chance to say anything Kovu said, "That sounds great when do we begin?" "Tomorrow at sun rise both of you don't late" Simba said satisfied then left.

"Why would you agree to that it sounds like it will be horrible." Kiara said frustrated

"Because if we do well your parents will be happy and then you can ask about cubs." Kovu said smiling

"Ok" she said looking nervously "Im warning you though training can get intense" and with that they headed back to eat.
