Hey guys I got another chapter for you.

Yesterday went pretty much the same. It started to get dark and they all headed inside to get some sleep. But for some reason Nala was somewhat anxious to get in the den, seeing as she was the first one in. Usually she'd groan about having to go to sleep and wanting to stay up longer.

Suddenly, Simba heard someone call him.

"Uh…Simba?" A voice squeaked faintly.

"Simba?" The voice repeated itself, louder this time.

"Mmmm…" He replied wearily, eyes still shut.

Nala sighed, "Um…Simba please wake up…" She nudged his face with her own.

Even though he was hardly awake, he slowly got to his paws and stretched slightly. He turned and was surprised to see Nala staring at him.

"Um…G-good morning…" Nala greeted in a hushed tone.

"Uh.. Good morning." Simba replied, still shocked to see Nala actually talking to him.

Simba brought his eyes behind her to see the sun had barely risen yet. He looked back at her quizzically, "Nala, why'd you wake me up so early?"

Nala brought her head down and fidgeted with a pebble with her paw as she asked, "W-well I was wondering if… y-you wanted to.. watch the sunrise with me..." She asked shyly, occasionally bringing her eyes up to look at him, but quickly darting them back down as she waited for his reply.

Simba stood there, surprised. She never asked to do anything with him Usually she'd invite Chumvi to do things like this, of course she's never woken him up. He and she always managed to wake up at the same time if they were going to do anything, such as watch the sunrise. He looked around the den and noticed Chumvi still sleeping. He tilted his head in confusion.

Chumvi's right there. He thought Why'd she wake me and not him?

It soon dawned on him, the plan was actually working. He smiled, snapping back to reality and remembering she was still awaiting his response.

"You wanna spend some time with me huh?" He grinned.

Nala stiffened and quickly tried to conceal her blushing cheeks, but Simba had already saw "Um… w-well I just thought… Since Chumvi didn't get much sleep last night… and Kula and I aren't very close… I thought that m-maybe you wanted to go with me…" She replied, her voice low and nervous.

He smiled at her shyness. He found it quite cute when a girl was nervous or embarrassed. "I'm just kidding Nal." He laughed.

Nala loosened up a bit and brought her head up, "S-so is that a y-yes? She asked.

Simba nodded, "Yeah, let's go before the sun rises without us!" He laughed.

"Race ya to the top!" She challenged, her confidence returning.

"You're on!" He replied.

The two cubs raced their way up to the peak of Priderock. Each one desperately trying to beat the other. They were neck and neck and rapidly approaching the top. Both Nala and Simba took a glance at each other and smiled competitively.

"I'm gonna beat you!" Nala giggled.

"No way!" Simba laughed.

Both of them came to a halt at the very top of Priderock. Each trying to catch their breath.

"I…win…" Nala panted.

"No… I did" Simba replied.

"No I did!" She exclaimed.

"Oh yeah?" Simba smiled deviously.

Nala eyes widened as she felt Simba force her down, "Ahh!" She shrieked.

On instinct Simba used his momentum to hold her firmly down. Nala slowly opened her eyes to see Simba's shining gold coat gleaming in front of her. She shook her head, smiling as she stared at her friend.

Simba flashed her his signature smile and opened his mouth to speak. Suddenly, he shut it as he noticed Nala's eyes. They shone brightly in the morning sun, showing off her vibrant blue orbs. He couldn't help but stare at them.

Nala tilted her head, smiling, "Simba?" She asked cutely, her eyes still glittering.

Simba blinked, snapping out of his thoughts, he looked down at her. She giggled softly, "We're missing the sunrise." She motioned with her head to the rising orange sphere in the distance.

He smiled apologetically and helped her up. Nala giggled and got to her paws. The two sat together and watched as the sun slowly made it's way up. Nala looked over at him and nudged him playfully on the shoulder, giggling.

Hey guys so please remember to review and tell me how I'm doing, it really helps. Thanks and take care.
