Sarabi POV
I desperately wanted to tell Mufasa about what Simba and Nala did before the sunrise, but I couldn't find him. I've search everywhere and still, I couldn't find him. What if he's in danger, what if he died, what if he- I slowly knocked my head with my paw. I did that because I haven't search the waterhole yet. I quickly ran to the waterhole with a smirk on my face.
When I arrived there, I saw Mufasa under a shady tree looking towards the ground. I thought he was sad, so I quickly rush to him. I stop dead in track, before I could comfort him, I saw the look on his face. He was smiling and making kissing noises. I wandered why he was doing that, so I took a peek of what he was looking at and saw, Simba and Nala cuddling each other in a cozy nap. My face lit up and I said "psst" quietly, so I won't wake up the 'couple' up. Mufasa then looked towards the direction of the sound and saw me. He wanted to say something but I motioned him to come over here. He tilted his head in confusion, but did it anyway.
"Muffy, don't make a noise and make sure, they don't wake up." I said while smiling at him. He smiled back but answered "why?" in confusion. I whispered "I gotta show Fina this," he gave me a smirk but nodded. I gave him a quick nuzzle before I ran off to get Fina. I'm sure she'll love to see this.
Sarafina POV
I was taking a nap at my usual naping place. Usually, I'm with Sarabi but she went off to find Mufasa. I really wish Ni was here. He was my mate and my one true love. I don't even know whether he died or ran away. A tear flow down my muzzle but I quickly erase the thought in my mind. I let out a big sigh. I was about to take a nap when suddenly, I heard someone shouting
"FINA! IT'S SARABI, I HAVE A SURPRISE TO SHOW YOU." I whined but opened my eyes. "What's it about, Sabi?" I answered in a dull voice. She gave me a huge smile and replied "Young love," I totally understood what she meant. "Come on, I'll show you. Follow me." She said before running off. I stood on all four paws and followed her. We were going in the direction of the waterhole. I wanted to ask, but I would rather keep it as a surprise. Suddenly, she stopped running and walked into the tall grass. I couldn't find her but I sense her scent. I quickly followed the scent until I reached a shady tree, Mufasa and Sarabi was smiling at the ground. I have no idea why there smiling at the ground, so I walked next to Sarabi and saw Simba and Nala cuddling but sleeping. I muttered a soft 'awwwww' under my breath.
I whispered "Their so cute" to Mufasa and Sarabi. They simply nodded their head in awe. Suddenly, Sarabi smirked and whispered "Fina, I got an idea, you push Nala closer to Simba while I push Simba closer to Nala. Then, we slowly wake them up, got it?" I nodded my head while smirking. They were sleeping sideways, their lips were so near. I quickly moved behind sleeping Nala while Sabi walked over behind sleeping Simba. I was really excited to see Simba and Nala's reaction to that. Sarabi mouthed "1, 2, 3," and we gently pushed them together until their lips met. We smirked at each other. We wanted to wake them up. When suddenly, Simba and Nala whined but slowly open their eyes and blinked couple times. Mufasa, Sarabi and I smiled at their position. We slowly moved into the tall grass, so they won't notice us.
Nala POV
I was having a nice dream when suddenly, I slowly woke up to a sudden push but I didn't move my body. My eyes were still close, so I opened them. It was still blurry, so I blinked couple times. When it was clear enough, I saw Simba blinking his eyes too. We smiled when we stared at each other. Suddenly, we realized our lips met. We blushed redder then blood and our hearts were beating like there were gonna pierce through our skin. We jumped on our feet and look anywhere but each other. I was extremely shy, did I sleep like that with Simba? I remembered cuddling but not kissing and where did my 'friends' go. Maybe, they pushed us. Suddenly, Simba and I looked at each other, we smiled and apologized. Few seconds later, we laid under the tree and watched the stars together. We kept playing with the constellation and the patterns of the stars. I didn't really care who pushed us. Suddenly, we heard rustling in the tall grass. I was shivering in fear, but
Simba jumped in front of me to protect me from the animal in the tall grass. I really love Simba, but I didn't want to confess it, eventhough we did some romantic stuff. What if it's just a friendly kind-of-stuff. He whispered "don't worry, I got your back." he is such a sweet cub and I always felt safe around him. He growled at the direction of the rustling and shouted
"SHOW YOURSELF, BEAST." Then, this is where it shocked me. I thought it was my friends, but no. One lion and two lioness came out. The lion was Mufasa and the lionesses were Sarabi and my mom. Simba apologize quickly and turn his face to the opposite direction because his face was pure red. I stared at the ground with full redness covering my cheeks while making circles in the ground. They all laughed at our reaction. Simba was brave enough to ask "how l-long were you p-people here?" he struggled to say it out because he was over-the-limit of shy. They all smirked and Mufasa answered "since you two were cuddling in your nap." Sarabi and my mom winked at us. Simba growled under his breath. The adults laughed non-stop. Then, it was an awkward silence until Sarabi said while laughing "Well, you two love-…" suddenly, she was cut short when Simba shouted
"WHY CAN'T YOU EVER UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MEANING OF FRIENDS MEAN?! SO? WHAT IF MY BEST FRIEND IS A GIRL?! THERES NO HARM NOR PROBLEMS IN THAT. GROW UP." I wanted to shout 'yeah' but I rather keep quiet, so I wouldn't be in the middle of the fight. Sarabi and Mufasa stopped laughing. They frowned, while my mother and I slowly backed up. My mom picked me by the scruff of the neck, and she ran all the way back to Priderock, but before my mom left the waterhole, she gave a quick bow.
Simba POV
I was so mad at my parents. I don't understand why Nala and I can't be friends, when she was the one that asked me to be her 'FRIEND'. But I liked it
"SIMBA, HOW RUDE OF YOU! I WILL NOT TOLERATE THAT ATTITUDE YOUNG-…" I cut her off, again by shouting "AND I WONT TOLERATE YOUR ATTITUDE, WHY CANT NALA AND I BE FRIENDS?! FRIENDS?!" my mom then answered, by shouting "THOSE ARE JUST JOKES SIMBA, GET OVER IT!" before I wanted to ran off, I shouted
"JOKES?! JOKES?! THERE NOT JOKES! THERE BULLY-JOKES. I HATE IT, MOM! IT'S EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE!" and with those last words. I ran off to any direction but Priderock. My parents shouted my name but I ignored them. I ran as far as I could from Priderock but I was still in the Pridelands. I was sobbing and tears rolled down my muzzle. Suddenly, I heard my dad calling out for me. However, I didn't hear my mom, so I assumed my mom didn't follow dad to search for me or they split up. I slowly turned my head and saw my dad walking over to my direction but not noticing me. I was hiding behind a small rock. He heard my sobs and saw me. he walked over to me and nuzzled me.
"Simba, why'd you run off? Your mom and I were worried sick that you would cross the the borders." I look up at my dad, "m-moms being m-mean!" I began sobbing on my dad's fur. "Simba, she's just fooling around and she would never be mean to you." My tears started to flow down my muzzle even more and my dad gently rub my back while I lean on his arm. "I also r-ran off because I t-thought you would e-e-exile me!" I was really sad and I regret shouting at my mom. My dad then crouched until we were face-to-face. "Son, even if bad things happen to us, we would never exile you, because u haven't learn enough yet and besides, you're still a cub." My dad gently nuzzled me and I forced myself to smile.
"Thanks dad, you're so awesome." I said with a smile on my face. He returned the smile and replied "Thank you, son." After that, we started walking back to Priderock.
"Son, you still have to apologize to mom, got it?" I nodded and when my eyes became watery, dad picked me by the scruff of the neck and whispered "I Love You, Son." And I replied "I Love You More, Dad," with a huge smile. My eyes became dry and we talked all the way to Priderock.
