Chapter I: A Promise
An explosion of giggles echoed through a slight of the savanna. In the sunset, two lion cubs frolicked about, tackling and wrestling in some joyous fun. One was of a beautiful gold, the other in a silky cream coat. The golden one was pinned down and glared at the other with his large brown eyes.
"Got you again! And so that would make it... Three to nothing!" The creamy cub smirked.
"Oh, Nala, one day I'm going to beat you," the golden one growled.
Nala giggled at him. "I'm sure, Simba. One day."
"Yes, one day," a loud voice from the back of them repeated, following his words with a laugh. The two cubs turned their heads and drooped their ears at the sight of the lion. The golden one scampered up to him.
"Come on dad, please don't make us go home- I'm not even tired," he pleaded, sneaking a small yawn in his words, hardly fooling his father.
"No, your mother will be worried sick with you out here too late, Simba. As well as Nala's mother. Now, come on, you two." He nudged the two up with his large paw to get them up. The disheartened cubs rose and did as told.
Simba decided to seize an opportunity to pounce on his unsuspecting playmate in their departure. His neck was nearly kissing the ground before springing up to tackle her. Although startled, Nala quickly reacted by turning over to pin him again.
"Four to zero! When are you going to give up?" She bragged in jest.
"Well, I wasn't joking when I said I'd beat you someday. I just guess today isn't my day..." Simba sighed and stared at the ground, but then his eyes darted back at her. "But I definitely don't want you to let me win, okay? Don't start feeling bad for me."
Nala nodded, smiling at her friend. "Alright. The day you beat me, it'll be all on your own."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
