Simba POV

Actually, I remembered clearly. My head hurts because a lion cub hit me on the head but it wasn't strong enough to erase my memory. It was only strong enough to make a bruise on it. I didn't want to tell my parents or my friends that I remembered because they wouldn't believe me.

Seriously, would they believe me that the cubs did this to me, No. so, I decided to stay quiet until the time is right. I was still in the den, resting while Nala was taking a nap beside me and my parents at their usual napping place. I was hugging her while she was taking a nap. The injuries still hurts but I gotta stay strong. The medicine stopped the bleeding and it was really affective. Before I got that medicine, I couldn't move my lips nor my eyelids because it was to painful.

Moreover, I was under the sun. It was hot-searing pain. Forget about that. I really love Nala and she loves me too, but I couldn't ask her to go out with me because I am really shy too. Usually, im cocky and brave but love brought another emotion into me, Which was shyness.

Few hours later, it was sunset and the Pridemembers were entering the den. They smirked at me because I was hugging Nala, but I didn't care. However, I just smiled and blushed a little, I hope the fur masked the little redness on my cheeks. Lastly, my parents and Nala's mom came in. I smiled at them while they return the smile. They approached me and asked me about my injuries.

"It still hurts, but not as painful as this morning." I replied with a smile on my face. They returned the smile. Nala's mom then said "Well, PrinceSimba, thank you for accompanyning her when she needs it most." She was just about to pick Nala up but I shouted "No!" Nala's mom looked at me with confusion in her eyes while Mufasa and Sarabi smirked at me. I blushed very red and gulped.

Then, I continued "c-could she s-stay with me o-one more n-night? Please" I stuttered and finished the sentence with a big cute smile. My mom then said "You really can't let her go, can you." I gulped again and answered "I promise her to never leave her alone."

Nala's mom then interrupted our conversation and said "Awww, PrinceSimba's falling for my sweet little Nala. Oh, my favourite, Cubby Love." Sarabi then smiled and answered "yeah, me too." I rolled my eyes and said "PLEASE, I CARE FOR HER BECAUSE SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND. PPPPLLLLLLEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE!" I begged them to allow me to sleep with Nala. My mom and Nala's mom exchanged looks when suddenly, dad interrupted our conversation by saying "Of course he could, right Fina." My dad looked at Fina with a grin and my mom nodded her head in agreement.

"Oh, you two can't even be apart for a minute, can you? Go Ahead." I blushed deeper than ever. Then, I gave them a huge smile. I ran to the three of them and nuzzled them. They smiled until mom said "Come on, you don't want to leave your mate, do you." I blushed and look at mom then saying "mom" she smirked and Nala's mom said "Simba, we're just messing with you." I growled under my breath and said "I hate it mom, you want me to run away again?" I said with an angry face. Mom smiled .

"If you do run away, I'll ground you from seeing Nala." Nala's mom smiled at me. My face changed to a sad yet horror face. Tears were about to come out but I hold them from coming out my eye. "NOOOOO, PLS NOOOO. I WOULD RATHER SUICIDE THEN NOT HANGING OUT WITH NALA FOR AT LEAST, ONE DAY! PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!" Then, tears started coming out. My mom and Nala's mom burst into laughters while Dad just sat there smiling.

Then, my dad winked. Mom and Nala's mom stop laughing but giggled. Until, mom spoke up "YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE, SON." And Sarafina continued "you really love her, I can respect that." I blushed so red that the sun couldn't cover it. I think. Dad then came up to mom and said "Sarabi, don't go overboard." While mom nodded. He continued "You know Simba's sensitive." I glared at my dad and said "Im not sensitive." He looked at me and said "Simba, it's good to be sensitive but like I said, don't go overboard."

I slowly calm and said "I'm not that sensitive, right?" My mom then replied "Actually, you are very sensitive Simba. You should relax once in awhile." I gave out a small sigh. I didn't want to be over-sensitive, so I said "I'll prove to you that I'm not sensitive, pls tell me how mom." She smirked and answered "Learn to take jokes." I gave out a small sigh under my breath and answered "Fine, but don't go over-board please." She smiled and answered "Oh yes, your highness." Sarcastically. I smirked because it was the queen who said that. THE QUEEN! Which is my mom.

Then, I yawned and mom said "Oh, go sleep with your girlfriend." I glared at her but walked to Nala anyway. I wiggled myself beside her and put my left-arm over her shoulders. I was just about to give her a goodnight-kiss but by the time I touched her fur, it was wet and I realized, she was sweating.

Then, I heard soft noises like "HELP ME" but in a soft tone. I was worried, so I nuzzled her. She whined and I was worried even more about her. She always gets nightmares. Then, I licked her muzzle and she seemed to stop. Suddenly, she started screaming and rolling everywhere. She almost drop from the rock but I quickly turned her the other side. Most of the lioness woke up but the cubs were still asleep except for 'The Special 7'. Chumvi then spoke up "MAD CUB ON THE LOOSE" while the others giggled.

I ignored him and rush off to Nala's aid. I tried to nuzzle her but she swung her paw towards me and she made scratches on my bruise. I screamed in pain but I straight-away got back to my feet and ran to her. I ignored the pain because, seeing Nala in a bad dream was Ten-Times worst. She swung her paw again but she missed. Then, I saw an opportunity to kiss her and so I did it. I kissed her for quite a long time until she was back to normal. I sighed out a sigh of relief. I turned around to see all eyes on me. Most of them had a smirk on their faces except for Kula and Chumvi. Two of them made faces like 'Awwww'. I smirked at them because both of them looked like a couple. And I know they had feelings for each other. Then, I saw Nala's eyes slowly opening.

Nala POV

*DREAM*

I was at the waterhole and It was a dark-foggy night. I was about to lap my tongue on the surface of water when I felt someone pulling me by the tail. I held onto the ground while screaming "HELP ME" I didn't know who was pulling me but it hurts. Suddenly, he pulled me into a centre of 20 hyenas. Then, I saw my mom and a lion getting clawed, bitten and scratched. The lion and mom were holding paws.. I screamed "ANYBODY! HELP ME PLEASE!" no one responded. Suddenly, everything stopped. Then, my parents looked at me and said "we always hated you, Nala." I screamed with fear at what they said. My parents sounded like hyenas laughing maniacally. After that, they ran up to me and pierced through my skin with their claws. I tried to escape but I couldn't. I tried clawing them, I clawed my dad's muzzle but it was just a small scratch to him. I swung again but miss. Suddenly, it went all black and started to slowly open my eyes.

*END OF DREAM*

I shivered in total fear. Tears started to flow down my muzzle. I quickly ran to Simba and cried on his shoulders and hugging him tightly. Then he said "Shhh, hey, hey. It's just a dream, don't worry. Like I promise you, I'll never leave your side. I'm here." We nuzzled each other for quite a while. Then,

"What happen in your dream?" he asked. I looked towards his eyes and I saw a claw mark on his bruised-muzzle. I gasped and said "SIMBA, IM SO SORRY. IM SUCH A HORRIBLE-…" he then cut me off by saying "Hey, what's worst is seeing you cry." I smiled at him and gave him a quick lick on his cheek. Then I told him, 'The Special 7 members', Sarabi, Mufasa and my mom the dream.

After I finish, Simba allowed my mom to run up to me and nuzzled me. Then, I said "mom, does dad have Golden eyes with thin blue rims around it and light-golden fur." A tear rolled down her muzzle and I quickly licked it away.

She took a deep breath and said "It's time I tell you the story of your dad." I gulped and sat down. When she was about to start, I said "Wait mom." I looked towards Simba who was staring at me. he quickly looked anywhere but me when I turned my head towards him. I said "Come here Simba, mom's telling me about my dad." He smiled at me and walked over to me while my mom forced herself to smile. "Okay, Nala. Your father was the most kindness lion, I've met. He was so sweet, kind, handsome, calm and his a very wise gentlelion. I met him when I went to the outlands to find for Taka. Scar's name was Taka before he had that scar."

I saw Simba shivered at the name Scar. Then, my mom continued. "I was wondering around the outlands. I was looking for Taka. Usually, he would be in the outlands with three hyenas. Then, I saw several hyenas in front of me, but I couldn't see Taka anywhere. The hyenas wanted to eat me alive. I was so afraid, so I ran as far as I could until I reached a dead end. It was a cliff and I couldn't reach it.

The hyenas were getting closer to me. Then, I saw a ledge at the cliff, so I jumped onto the ledge and jumped up to reach the top, so I could go back to the Pridelands. However, I couldn't jump that far, so I was left hanging with my claws on the cliff. I shouted for help but all I could hear was hyenas laughing. I was about to fall.

My claws then slowly got lose. I was going to fall, when suddenly. A cub took my paw and with all his might, he pulled me up. I fainted when I reached the top. The lion cub knew that I was from the Pridelands, so he carried me on his back. He brought me to a pond in the Pridelands, but it wasn't the waterhole. The unknown lion cub splash few amounts of water onto my face. I slowly opened her eyes and jumped to her feet, but fell down.

The unknown lion cub chuckled while I blushed. I looked around and realized I was in the Pridelands. "What happen and who are you and how did I get here?" I asked. I had a chance to examine the mysterious lion cub. He had golden eyes with blue thin rims around it. His fur was light-golden. He looked older than me by few weeks. "You were hanging onto the cliff and I pulled you up, because you were in big trouble. I knew you were from the Pridelands, so I brought you here." I blushed and was so happy, that I ran up to the mysterious cub and nuzzled him.

I quickly pulled away after realizing what I was doing. I stuttered "i-im so s-sorry for do-…" I was interrupted by the lion cub. He said "It's fine, it felt nice actually. It has been quite awhile since someone nuzzled me." my face lit up and I nuzzled him more while he purred. After that, The lion cub ask "What's your name?" I answered "Sarafina, but you could call me Fina." The lion cub smiled and answered "My names Ni, but you could call me….Ni." I laughed at his expression.

Then, I asked "why were you in the outlands? Where is your pride?" curiously. Ni looked towards the ground and said "My pride, was attacked by hyenas. I managed to escape but I don't know about my parents." A tear drop from Ni's eyes. I felt sympathy for him, so I went over to him and gave him a friendly lick on the cheek. Ni smiled and continued "So, now I'm actually a rogue." I really felt sympathy for him and I said "I'll ask King Ahadi if you could join our pride." I said with a smile. Ni's face lit up and he replied "OH THANK YOU SO MUCH!".

One time, Taka knew I was Ni's girlfriend, so when I was alone. He pounced on me and made a really deep-cut on my foreleg. I screamed in pain and hopping that King Ahadi would come to aid. But then, I saw Ni coming towards me to help me. I was happy yet terrified that King Ahadi would exile him. Ni charged after him and pushed him of me. But Taka didn't give up. He lowered his body and pounce on me again. Suddenly, Ni stood in front of me, so Taka went tumbling into Ni.

Taka was so mad. He was just about the claw Ni's eyes but suddenly, a brownish-gold lion with a black mane came out of the bushes and head-butted Taka off Ni. Then I realized, It was King Ahadi and slowly, Queen Uru came out of the bushes. Taka growled at them and shouted "Disturbance, I had a chance." King Ahadi wanted to reply but Queen Uru then replied "Taka, honey. Sarafina chose Ni, you got to live with that and sometimes, you don't get what you want, so you just got to move on, honey." Taka then gasped with wide eyes at Queen Uru.

He growled under his breath. When Queen Uru said "Taka?", Taka pounced on her and gave her yet a deep and long cut. It was longer than mine. I was so shocked at Taka's behaviour. He never acted like that before. usually, he was shy, cute and innocent but now, he was jealous, rude and evil.

King Ahadi then pounced on Taka and gave him a scar on his left-eye. "YOU ARE NO LONGER NAMED TAKA, YOUR NAME NOW IS, SCAR. I HEREBY EXILE YOU FROM THE PRIDELANDS FOR ATTEMPTING TO HURT SARAFINA AND YOUR OWN MOTHER. IM SO ASHAMED TO HAVE A SON LIKE YOU." I gasped at those words. Imagine if my own father said that to me." Simba and I were to focus on the story.

Then, she continued "One day, I was walking back to Priderock from Rafiki's tree. I went there because I wanted to know why I was always ill. And Rafiki told me, I was pregnant. I desperately wanted to tell Ni but I couldn't find him anywhere.

Then, I heard Taka and some hyenas. I hid behind a huge log and what made me cry so much was that, one of the hyenas by the name of Shenzi said "well, Ni's taken care of." I just couldn't believe Ni was dead.

Then, I went to the waterhole and lap my tongue on the surface of water quickly. After that, I passed the borders to find Ni. A month later, I reached Priderock with a sad and disappointed look on my face. By that time, my stomach was quite big. And I couldn't stop crying, day and night.

Then, I moved on. Believing his dead." Simba and I were so sad. Tears started to flow down my muzzle. Then, I asked "Mom, I forgotten dad's name, what was it?" she was about to speak it out by was interrupted by Sarabi saying "Fina, come here for awhile." My mom then walked over to Sarabi. Simba and I laid down on the 'Royal Rock' and we cuddled each other. Then, we accidentally fell asleep.

Sarabi POV

I walked to the corner of the den, where no one could hear our conversation. "Fina, I really saw Ni and Mheetu in the jungle. I was tracking a familiar scent and I found Ni. He looked exactly like Ni and Mheetu looked like a year old."

Fina then looked towards the ground and said "what if there not who you thought they would be." I sighed and said "I don't think, it was them, because I know it was them." Fina said "You sure" while I nodded. She sighed and answered "Maybe some other time, Sarabi." I sighed but nodded at her decision.

After that, Sarafina was going to sleep at her usual spot in the den alone. I really felt pity for her, so I called out "Fina, come sleep with us on the 'Royal rock', theres still enough room." She gave me a huge smile and nodded in agreement, she ran to me and nuzzled me before running to sleep on the 'Royal Rock'.

Mufasa gave me a smile and gave me a look like 'you did the right thing'. Then, I walked over to him and cuddled beside him. Mufasa, Simba, Nala, Fina and I slept on the 'Royal Rock'.

Mufasa and I cuddled each other while Simba and Nala cuddled each other. Sarafina was left alone, so I got up and walked towards Simba. I woke Simba up. "Simba, let Nala's mom cuddle Nala too." Simba looked towards Sarafina who was still looking towards the ceiling of the den. He nodded his head and went over to Sarafina. He asked "Aunt Fina, would you like to sleep with Nala too?" she then replied "How about you?" he gave her a grin and replied "I could sleep on the other side of Nala, so?" Sarafina then nodded her head and went to Nala. She soon fell asleep on the left side of Nala.

I slowly walked over to Mufasa, so I won't wake anyone up. I cuddled beside Mufasa and he whispered "You are such a great Queen." While I lick his cheeks and replied "and you are such an awesome King." Slowly, we fell asleep.
