Behind Pride Rock was a small valley with a small pond and some sun bathing rocks that was surrounded by shaded trees. At the bottom laid Sarabi and Sarafina. Sarafina who was currently giving Nala a bath as Simba laid near the dark beige coated queen.
"So have you told Muffy yet?" Sarafina asked between licks.
Sarabi sighed and said, "No, he been so busy lately."
Sarafina stopped to look at her friend and said, "Take him to your special place and tell him."
"I can't do that, what about Kiara?"
Sarafina rolled her pale green eyes. "I wouldn't mind watching her. Besides I'm sure Simba and Nala wouldn't mind either. Exspecaily Simba."
The two friends shared a laugh as the tawny cub glared daggers at his mother and the queen. As he wanted to keep a secret that he has a crush on the princess.
"Hey Nala, hi Simba!"Kiara smiled excitedly as she made it down the slope to her mother and friends.
Simba smiled and said, "Hey Kiara!"
"Come on I just heard about this great place."
Nala looked over shoulder and said, "I am in the middle of a bath."
Sarabi smiled at her daughter, "And it's time for yours."
Before Kiara could run away, Sarabi grabbed her daughter's scruff and began to bath her cub.
"Mom! No, you're messing up my fur!" Kiara whined.
Kiara jumped down and smoothed the small fur sticking up on her head back in place."Okay, okay. I'm clean, can we go now?"
Simba stepped up and curious pale green eyes, "Where are we going?"
Kiara turned and whispered in Nala and Simba's ears, "I'll tell you when we get there."
Simba and Nala nodded before turning to their mother."Mom, can we go with Kiara?"
"Hmm, what do you think Bi?"
Sarabi looked at the three cubs who had wide grins on their muzzles."It's alright with me."
Kiara and her friends jumped around, whooing. But their celebration died down when the orange eye queen added,
"As long as Zazu goes with you."
Simba pinned his ears as he looked at his sister and friend "Oh no. Not Zazu!"
-O-
"So where are we really going?" Nala asked on Kiara's left side.
Kiara looked up to make sure Zazu wasn't listening before turning to her friends."An elephant grave yard."
"Wow!" the siblings nearly shouted.
Kiara glared at her friends as she growled, "Be quiet! Zazu!"
Simba nodded his head. "Right. So, how are we going to ditch to dodo?"
Nala's green eyes lit up before saying, "I know how!" and ran off.
Kiara and Simba exchanged a confused look as Zazu flew down.
"Look, the seeds of romance has blossom in the savannah. You're parents will be thrilled!"
Simba raised an eye brow in confusion, "What are you squawking about now, Banana Beak?"
Zazu sighed and said,"You two are to get married!"
If the princess had something in her mouth, she would of choked or spit it out.
"What?! I can't married him, he's my best friend!" Kiara cried.
I guess now I know how she feels, Simba thought sadly.
Just then an elephant sat on the blue hornbill, Simba and Kiara looked to see Nala running over.
"So this was your plan?" Kiara asked with a playful smirk.
Nala nodded and then ran off with Kiara and Simba in tow.
Along the way the three slowed down to a walk. Simba glanced at Kiara and his sister, who were talking anitmately.
With a grin he pounced on the nearest unexpected prey. Causing Simba and Kiara to roll a bit, before the tawny cub landed on his back under the princess.
Nala shook her head and said,"You'll never learn."
Simba glared at his sister before pouncing on Kiara again.
"Pinned ya again!" Kiara smiled down at her fustrated friend.
A greyser went off making the cubs jump. But when the stream cleared they saw all kinds of animal bones.
"This is it. We made it." smiled Kiara as she began looking around.
The three soon found a sea of animal bones."Wow!" Kiara and Simba awed together.
Nala looked from the sea of bones to her brother and friend, "We could be in big trouble."
Kiara nodded and said "Yea."
The cubs turned around and looked at a really large elephant skull."You think it's brains are in there?" Simba and Nala asked.
Kiara smiled and said, "Why don't we go check it out?"
When Kiara made way to enter the skull, Zazu flew down and blocked her path."The only check out we do, is the check out of here!"
Simba and Nala laughed as Simba said, "Looks like Banna Beak is scared."
Zazu scroffed. "It's Mister Banna Beak to you, fuzzy", then pokes Simba in the nose, "And we're all in real danger!"
Kiara rolled her eyes and said, "I walked on the wild side. I laugh in the face of danger. Haha!"
Just then creepy laughter which made the cubs hide behind the blue bird. Three hyenas crawled out of the skull and began circling the four Pridelanders.
