Disclaimer: I do not own The Lion King or any of it's characters.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been busy and haven't been inspired by anything to write another chapter (that was good enough to put on here). Thank you to all my loyal reviewers! Remember what I said about each one taking place in a different "universe", though. Just like I said in the Author's Note of chapter two. Go read that if you want to know wht I'm talking about, if you don't want to be confused by this chapter.

And without further ado, chapter three.

Chapter three: Constellations and Conversations

The hadn't done this in a while. This was a special spot; it was THEIR spot. Just like how Simba and Nala had had their jungle. It felt so good to relax, just kick back and do what they both enjoyed to do so much, together. With Simba's recent death and Kovu's stepping up to the crown, both Kovu and Kiara had been running around like scared rabbits. Kovu smiled as he looked up into the sky, seeing his constellation. "It looks like two lions killing each other for a scrap of meat!"

Kiara looked at him, and seemed to read his mind. "And look, there's my bunny..."

"I love you so much, Kiara..." he whispered, leaning over and nuzzling her cheek.

"Me too... but about you," she corrected her self with a wink. "Hey Kovu, I have to tell you something... well, never mind. It feels good to just relax, and do our special thing. Especially since we've been so busy lately..."

"Yeah..." He licked her forehead affectionately. His mood seemed to change, however, and he heaved a loud, frustrated sigh.

Kiara looked worried. "What's wrong, Kovu?"

"I just... I don't know if I'm ready to be king... I don't have Simba here to teach me, or help me, and I feel like I'm way out of my league."

"Kovu... I'm scared too." she whispered. "But I'm here for you, and I know that together, we can get through this. You'll make a great king."

He smiled gratefully. "Thanks, Kiara. I sure hope you're right."

She returned the smile. "I know I am. Plus, we've got my dad to help us still..." she said, her gaze trailing once again up to the sky.

Kovu smiled once again. "We need to make a rule that we come out here and do this at least once a month. Just relax in our special spot and look at the stars."

Kiara nodded, a gleam shining in her eyes. "We'll make Zazu babysit, then."

Kovu's eyes bulged out. "What. Did. You. Say."

Kiara laughed. "Remember when I told you I had something to tell you?" He nodded quickly. She smiled, before continuing. "That was it."

Ahaha I had fun with this chapter xD. Please review! If you want an update that is... ;). *Picture ransom note here*

Nah just joking, but reviews would be nice and would help it to be updated faster... they inspire me :).
