Chapter 2: Exploring the Pridelands Part 1

Five years later finds a seven year old Kiara and 5 year old Harry looking out over Pride Rock. Their dad said they could go exploring in the Pride Lands today. "Come on." Kiara said and Harry followed her as she left the peak, his long black hair blowing in the wind.

They where stopped by their dad, Simba, the King of Pride Rock and ruler of these lands. "Now where do you two think your going?" He asked with a small smile.

"Daaad." Harry whined. "You promised we could go out by ourselves today!"

"Yeah Daddy." Kiara whined. "You promised!"

They both made their wide eyed act at Simba, who couldn't ever resist it like their mother could, and gave in. "Alright, but remember the rules I layed out-"

But Kiara and Harry weren't listening, they where busy paying attention to a dragonfly that had buzzed onto the rock formation that was their home.

"Are you two listening?" Simba asked. "Accidents can happen, you can easily get-"

"Hurt or stepped on or even get lost." Harry finished.

"And stay in sight of Pride Rock-"

"At All times." Kiara finished this time. "And if we see any strangers don't talk to them, come straight home." They both grinned at their taken aback father. "See daddy? We know all the rules can we go now?"

"Please?" Harry added. They both gave grins that anyone would be heartbroken to disappoint.

"Very Funny." Simba said to his beloved children.

"Mind your father you two." Their mother, Nala said as she came out of the den and stood next to Simba.

"Yes mom." They both said. Harry tried to leave but was blocked by his father's tail..

"And stay away from the Outlands." Simba added seriously.

Zazu, the "Major Domo" came flying and landed beside Kiara. "Nothing out there but a bunch of murderous outsiders." He said with distaste in his voice.

"Zazu's right." Simba said to the two young ones. "You can't turn your back on them."

"Why?" Harry asked curiously. He had always been curious about the Outlands and hoped to, even though it was going to upset his big sister, ditch her and go exploring.

"Never mind." Simba said. "Just run along." He moved his tail allowing Harry to pass and his big sister ran past him and down the rocky pathway that led to Pride Rock.

"And stay on the path I've marked for you!" Simba called after them as they ran on the dirt path. He sighed as his two cubs moved onward on the path. "Make sure they don't get hurt." He whispered down to Timon and Pumbaa, a Meerkat and Warthog pair who where his best friends.

"Timon saluted to Simba "Right." He hopped on his best bud and held onto his ears gently. "Run Pumbaa move it! We can't lose them!"
