Here's chapter two! It's a bit longer than the first chapter.

Simba's Other Daughter:I do realize I wasn't descriptive in the first chapter. This chapter should be better. Ok, Talib is brown like Kovu, but the tuft of fur at the end of his tail and his mane (when it grows,lol) is the same color as Kiara's fur. Thorn is solid black, and to answer your other question, Acacia is a lion a friend of mine made up and Thorn is her cub. Acacia is dark beige.I may make a fic that tells how she bacame a Pridelander. I hope you like this chapter better.

Note: I will be really busy this week. The next update should be around next Friday.

Disclaimer: You think I own The Lion King? Well guess again!

As the morning dawned, the sun shone brightly and the sky showed no signs of any more storms. The lions began to take notice of the damage done by the heavy rain as they looked down from Pride Rock. The only effect of the rain was that the river was flowing over its banks.

"It's good to see that the rain didn't cause as much damage as the last storm we had." Kiara commented.

Kovu nodded. "Yes, that's good."

Talib who'd just woken up joined his parents. "May I go play?" The brown cub looked at his mother with sleepy eyes.

Kiara smiled. "Yes, you may." She kissed her cub's forehead. "Do not go near the river."

"Okay. I won't." Talib agreed.

"Why don't you go see if Acacia will let Thorn go with you." Kovu suggested. He didn't want his son to go out on his own.

Without a word, Talib ran off to find Thorn. He found Thorn lying in the grass at the base of Pride Rock. The black cub beamed when he saw Talib coming.

"Hey, Talib!" Thorn said.

"Hey, want to go play?" Talib asked.

"Sure." Thorn answered.

A puzzled look flashed across Talib's face. "Shouldn't you ask your mom?"

Thorn shook his head. "She told me that if you came by while she was gone that I could go with you."

"Alright." Talib said.

As the two cubs strolled through the grass, a mouse scurried. The two cubs gave each other a grin.

"First one to catch it wins!" Thorn said.

Talib nodded and the two cubs gave chase. Thorn pounced but landed short. Talib tripped over his own feet making Thorn laugh. All the while, the mouse tried to escape the cubs. It zigzagged in between the blades of grass. It was Thorn who finally pinned the mouse.

"Ha! I win!" Thorn exclaimed as he looked at the squirming creature under his paw.

Talib chuckled. "I guess that's for me winning our race yesterday."

"Yeah, I guess your right." Thorn raised his paw and let the mouse go. It dashed wildly back through the grass.

The two cubs sighed. "What should we do now?" Thorn asked Talib.

"Let's go visit Rafiki."

Thorn shook his head. " I told you yesterday, my mom told me not to go out that far."

"She'll never know if you don't tell her." Talib winked at Thorn.

Thorn gave in. "Fine. But only to stop by for a minute."

"Let's go!" Talib yelled and the cubs set off to visit Rafiki.

As Rafiki's home came into view, cubs picked up there pace. Rafiki's home was a large tree.

"Rafiki!" Talib called.

The aged mandrill appeared on a branch above the cubs. "Talib, how nice to see you." The mandrill smiled. "Glad to see you too, Thorn." The black cub bowed to Rafiki.

"What brings you children out here?" Rafiki questioned.

"We wanted to see you." Talib responded.

"Rafiki, will you promise not to tell my mother I came here today?" Thorn asked.

"Ah, you must be out farther than your mother allows, huh?" Rafiki winked at Thorn. "It will be our little secret." Rafiki climbed down from the tree and joined the two cubs.

"What brings you two out here?" Rafiki asked.

"We just wanted to visit you." Talib answered.

"Is that so?"

"Yes," Thorn replied, "Talib, I think we should head back. Our parents might be looking for us."

Talib rolled his eyes at Thorn. "Well, Rafiki, I guess we'd better head back. I'll stop by to see you again sometime."

"'Bye, Talib. 'Bye Thorn." Rafiki pulled the cubs to him in a big hug. He released them and the cubs smiled back.

"'Bye!"

The two cubs ran back home. They didn't want to be spotted out of the boundary their parents had set. As they were within the boundary they heard two voices calling their names.

They turned to see Timon and Pumbaa.

"Hey, Talib!" Timon called.

"Nice to see ya!" Pumbaa said happily.

"Nice to see you too!" Thorn and Talib said in unison.

"What are you doing out here?" Thorn asked Timon.

"Why were going to hunt some lunch." Timon responded as he climbed up on Pumbaa to set on his head.

"Wanna join?" Pumbaa asked.

Talib and Thorn looked at each other. Talib shrugged. "Why not?"

"Okay, let's go to our favorite place." Pumbaa said as he led the way.

The spot Pumbaa was talking about was a little wooded place by a small pond. A few dead trees lying on the ground had a little moss on the side from the moisture. Pumbaa lifted a log to reveal insects of all kinds, who scattered when they'd been uncovered.

Timon lifted a fat worm and gulped it down, while Pumbaa snatched a beetle crawling on the ground. Talib and Thorn gave each other a disgusted look.

Timon glanced at the two grossed out cubs. "What?"

"That's disgusting." Talib noted. Thorn nodded in agreement.

"No, it's lunch." Pumbaa responded. "You should try it." Timon held up a grub for Talib.

"No, way am I, a lion, going to eat a bug." Talib pushed the grub away.

"Suit yourself." Timon replied before eating the grub.

"You should try it." Pumbaa looked Talib in the eyes. "Your grandfather did."

Talib was confused. "My grandfather Simba ate bugs?"

The warthog laughed. "Sure did. We were the ones who got him to eat one."

Thorn laughed. "I can't believe a lion would eat a bug!"

"Yeah, that's weird." Talib agreed.

"Well, we'd love to stay and eat lunch with you, but we'd better get back to Pride Rock." Talib said.

"'Bye!" The cubs said.

Timon and Pumbaa waved 'bye as the cubs wandered off again.

The cubs went back to play in some tall grass. Talib and Thorn played a game of hide and seek in the grass. Thorn was the first to hide. As Talib counted, he could hear Thorn moving through the grass.

Talib finished counting. "Ready or not, here I come!" Talib listened for any rustling that would give away Thorn's position. He heard rustling to his left and pounced.

"Gotcha!" He yelled as he came down on the cub.

"Get off me!" The cub yelled.

Talib jumped back. It wasn't Thorn! It was a white lion cub!

"Who are you?" Talib asked.

"Better yet, why did you pounce on me?" The white cub retorted.

"Sorry, I thought you were my friend." Talib answered. "Will you please tell me who you are?"

The white cub smiled at Talib. "My name is Kohana."

"Nice to meet you, I am Talib."

Kohana gasped. "You are the prince of the Pridelands!"

Talib was shocked at how surprised Kohana was. "Yes, I am."

Talib turned his attention when he heard Thorn. "Talib! Do you give up?"

"Yeah!" Talib called.

Thorn raised up a not too far from where Talib and Kohana were standing.

"Who's she?" Thorn asked Talib.

"This is Kohana." Talib looked at Kohana. "Meet my best friend, Thorn."

Thorn smiled. "Hi, Kohana. Wanna play with us?"

"I really must be going back home. My family will be worried." Kohana replied.

"Where is your family? I haven't heard of any other pride of lions being around here."

Kohana stammered. "uh..I..I really should be going. Nice to meet you! If you want we can meet back here tomorrow when the sun begins to rise." With that, Kohana took off.

"What got into her?" Thorn asked.

Talib shrugged. "I don't know, but you want to meet her back here tomorrow?"

"Sure!" Thorn exclaimed.

"We really should be getting back now." Thorn suggested.

"Yes, we should."

The two cubs rushed back home eager to tell their parents about their new friend. Although, neither one knew what their parents would say if they became friends with an unfamiliar cub from an unknown pride.
