Well I'm doing my best to get a chapter out at least every 2-3 days. This is my first fanfic so please don't be too harsh. But be honest. I don't own the Lion King or any of the characters or places from the movie. They belong to the awesome Walt Disney Company. I might use some of their quotes too so don't get mad if I do. Some characters are mine so if you wanna use them just email me so I know. I really need some reviews so that I know whether or not this story is good.

It had been a month since Simba took his place king. The Pride Lands were already looking a lot better. Herds had returned, trees were starting to show green, and the waterhole had been filled from all the thirst quenching rain.

Nala had not yet made her choice between Zander and Simba. The other lionesses in the pride thought that she was being stupid for not choosing Simba and being queen. She had asked her mother what she thought about a million times and she always said the same thing.

"Follow your heart, it will never steer you wrong."

It was a bright, sunny day, Nala decided to take a walk around the Pride Lands.

"Hey Nala, mind if I join you?" Zander asked running up behind her. "No, of course not." She lied. She just wanted to be alone right now, but no one seemed to understand that.

They left Pride Rock and made their way to the waterhole for a drink. "Nala, I know I promised to stop asking you this but, have you chosen yet? It's been a month. I can't stand it anymore."

Nala looked into his eyes and saw how desperate he was. Then she realized something. His eyes didn't show the same love, compassion, and warmth that Simba's did.

Nala smiled. "Yes, I've made my decision."

Zander's ears perked up.

Nala looked back at Pride Rock where Simba was standing at the tip of the giant, majestic rock.

"Oh, well I guess I sorda saw this coming. I wish you both the best of luck. But, I can't stay here. If you ever need me, go west." Zander said as a tear streamed down his face. He gave Nala one last nuzzle, and left the Pride Lands.

Nala was somewhat sad to see him leave, but she was relieved that she had finally decided who she would spend the rest her life with. She raced to Pride Rock.

When she finally made it, she was breathing hard, which grabbed the attention of the king.

"Nala, are you alright?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Ummm, Simba, do you wanna take a walk?" She asked. "Sure." He replied, they walked side by side towards the waterhole, where she had just been.

"I've made my decision." She blurted out with the biggest smile she's ever had.

"What have you decided?" He asked looking at his paws. "Well, maybe this will tell you." She said as she nuzzled her face into his blood red mane.

Simba's eyes lit up. "I love you Nala. Forever and always."

That's what they would say when they asked each other how long they would be best friends.

"I love you too Simba. Always and forever."

They stayed like that for a few minutes then headed back to Pride Rock so they could announce that Nala had finally accepted his proposal.

Ok, well this is the shortest chapter, but it's also the last!!! I'm not sure if I'm going to make a sequel, I will if enough people review this and tell me what they think. Well I finished this in a few days but I still had a few really cool reviewers. THANKS!!!
