Before they knew it Kali was three months old and going outside for the first time.
"Be careful out there. Try not to get into too much trouble either." Simba said.
"Oh for heaven sake! Simba you were like this with Kiara when she was a cub. And I'll say it again, you're the one that put us in danger when we were cubs." Nala said pushing him down on his back.
"I know, I just don't want a repeat of Kiara." he said. "Well, I better go get Kovu. Morning rounds time."
She watched him go get Kovu and shook her head.
A few days later Vitani was on her way to the watering hole when she heard something.
"Mommy?"
She looked around and saw a cub that looked three months old like Kali.
"Are you ok?"
The cub jumped in surprise.
"It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you. Are you lost?"
The cub nodded. "I was on my way to the watering hole with mommy when she was hit by something and made us split up."
"Calm down, what's your name?"
"Caley." she said.
"I'm Vitani. How long have you been looking for her?"
"About two days." Caley said.
"Why don't you come with me and we can get you checked on ok?"
She nodded and followed her to Pride rock.
"Simba, Nala?" Vitani said.
"What's wrong Vitani?" Nala asked.
"I saw a cub on my way to the watering hole alone. She said she was split up from her mother two days ago." she said.
"Where is she?" Simba asked.
"Right behind me. Caley, come on out, we aren't going to hurt you."
She slowly came into site. And Simba and Nala looked at each other.
"Alright, why don't you stay with us and we'll see what we can do. Alright?" Nala said.
"And for now how about Vitani takes care of you, you don't mind do you?" Simba said.
"Not at all. She said she's about three months old, so she's as old as Kali." she said.
"Alright, we'll start looking for her parents."
"I don't have a daddy, he left mommy last month." Caley said.
"Ok then, we just need to find her mother." he said.
