The sun began to rise on the Pridelands, stretching across the plains sending golden light flying. Thali woke to the sun shining in her eyes. She crawled out from her bush and stretched. Suddenly her nostrils inhaled a familiar scent, causing her to growl. She then saw a tall lion heading to the pool of water that she was by. It was Simba!

'Gosh he's handsome' Thali thought, now that she was older, she understood the fact the Pridelanders were far better looking than her. She then crouched down ready for Kovu to give the signal; Simba came closer and closer, unaware of the danger. Simba approached the pool and began lapping the water. Kovu came into view, he was crouched ready to pounce, Kovu gave the signal, by twitching his right ear.

"Good morning!" Kiara jumped in front of Kovu, giving him and Thali quite a shock

"I'm ready for my first lesson" Kiara jumped over to Kovu's side "Surprised ya huh?" Kiara smiled, proud of herself. Kovu stared at the pool. Simba was gone. He remained gormless for a few moments.

"Well come on! Let's go!" Kiara began to walk away. Kovu looked at Thali and growled, and followed Kiara. Thali began to trail after them. When she found Kiara and Kovu, he seemed to be… 'TRYING' to teach her how to hunt. Thali got bored after 20 minutes, so she lay down in the grass and slept. Soon to be awoken by Kovu's roar. Her head darted upwards. She saw Kiara heading up a hill, Thali began following

"Timon what are you doing here?" Kiara asked annoyed

"Kiara, thank goodness. But for once we're not followin' ya. This place just happens to be the (Something, something...Sorry I just have no idea of what he says there)" Timon pointed to the ground "Bugs everywhere! But if you don't call for a reservation then sheesh!" Timon flapped his arms about. Thali gazed at Timon wondering if she should pounce on Timon and eat him, or ignore him, she hadn't eaten for three days now, she was starving. Thali then snapped back into attention when she noticed that Kiara and Kovu were running away. Thali stood on top of the hill

"You've gotta' be kidding me" Thali raised and eyebrow, at the disappearing figures. She began to run after them as soon as their figures could no be recognised. She was nearing a cave when she saw… RHINOS!

"What the-" they were getting closer "AHHH!" Thali ran as fast as she could to get out of danger. The Rhinos were at her side

"Goodbye cruel world!" Thali stopped and closed her eyes. The stampede passed, Thali opened one eye

"I'm alive? I'm alive! Woohoo!" Thali laughed, she then remembered she was alone.

"Oh…" Thali sighed. Vitani then appeared

"Did you see that stampede! I nearly got hurt by those things!" Vitani looked to the direction of where the Rhinos went

"Me too… That's something I won't try in a while" Thali smiled

"Ya think that was funny!" Vitani looked shocked

"No! Of course not" Thali stood up tall

"Good anyway I'm taking your role for tonight. SO go hunt or whatever!" Vitani headed off for Kiara and Kovu. Thali nodded.

"Time to find food" Thali set off in the direction of the hunting grounds
