Chapter 2: Unusual Circle
*In the Pride Lands*
The sun beat down on the grassy plains of Africa as two lion cubs ran around, playing. Simba and Nala laughed as they ran side by side, eager for a new adventure.
"So Simba, what do you want to do? Play tag?" Nala asked.
"We play that all the time! How about rolling in the mud?" Simba suggested.
"Simba! We just got our fur groomed! Do you want to play pretend hunting?" Nala replied.
"We did that yesterday!" Simba responded.
"Well, is there anything new you want to do? Maybe make up a new game? ... Simba? Simba? Simba, what are you looking at?" Nala said. She noticed Simba was looking at some kind of big, colorful circle that appeared out of nowhere. It was strange.
"I don't know, Nala. But let's find out!" Simba replied before running over to the colorful circle to check it out.
"Simba wait! It could be dangerous!" Nala shouted, running after her friend.
Once Simba and Nala got to the circle, they stared at it curiously.
"What do you think it is?" Simba asked.
"I'm not sure, Simba. It's so ... Bizzare!" Nala replied in awe.
Suddenly, the big, colorful circle got bigger and bigger, and started sucking Simba towards it.
"Huh? Wha- What's happening?!" Simba cried out as he felt himself being sucked towards the circle. Soon, the power of the circle was getting stronger, and stronger! Simba felt like he as being sucked into a vacuum! Simba got scared!
"NALA! It's pulling me in! Help!" Simba yelled. Simba tried to run away, but he got swept off the ground and was being pulled towards the circle!
"NALA!" Simba screamed, fearing for his life!
"SIMBA!" Nala yelled, grabbing Simba's front paws with her paws and claws. Simba was being sucked into the circle backwards!
"Nala! Help me!" Simba yelled desperately.
"I'm holding on, Simba!" Nala yelled in reply.
Suddenly, just when they thought Simba was a goner, the circle and the suction vanished!
"Ah!" Simba yelled as he fell to the ground. Once he got up, he and Nala rubbed their necks against each other.
"Nala!" Simba cried out, happy that she was still with him.
"Simba!" Nala cried out in reply, glad that Simba was okay. Once they stopped nuzzling, they both looked at where the circle had been. What WAS that circle, and why did it try to take Simba?
