Simba POV

I woke up to a sudden nudge on the forehead. It was dad. "What is it dad" I whined. He picked me up by the scruff of the neck and brought me to the top of Priderock. Then, he said "Now you know Nala's father, do you want to know about Scar before he's name was Scar?" my face lit up and I nodded my head. I wanted to know why Scar hated me and why he was so weird. Then, dad said

"Scar's name was Taka before he got that Scar. When we were young, Taka and I used to play a lot. We were best-friends and I was so happy to have a brother like Taka. He was so cute, innocent and shy, but if you really get to know him, you won't regret playing with him. One day, we saw a lioness cub in the tall grass. She was unconscious, so I carried her to Rafiki's, and the baboon could heal her. Few hours later, she woke up and she wanted to hide and run away because she thought, we would hurt her. She attempted to run but Rafiki hold her and told her "It's alright young cub, you got injured real bad. Luckily, Rafiki knows how to heal you." She looked towards me, I quickly asked "What's your name?" she was in the tree, so was I, but Taka ran to Priderock to tell dad. She looked towards me and said "My name's Sarabi, what's yours?" I smiled. "My name's Mufasa, Prince Mufasa but just call me Muffy." She smiled and said "call me Sabi." I smiled and said "Hey, want to play tag?" She nodded and was about to move when suddenly, she drop on me and we fell from Rafiki's tree. She was about to land on the ground but I turned her, the other side, so she's on top of me. When we hit the ground, I took a lot of damage while Sabi didn't take any damage at all. I coughed out blood and she said "Why'd you do that?" with concern in her voice. I replied "I didn't want you to get more injured." She walked over to m-…" I interrupted dad by saying "dad, that wasn't about Scar, that was about you and mom." Dad then gave me an apologetic grin. "Okay, so this is Scar's story. Before Sc-…" I interrupted my dad by saying "Dad, can you tell me next time. It's time for me to play. Can I go PLEASE!" I gave my dad the cutest smile with my teeth showing. Dad smiled and said "Alright, run along. Don't want to miss your play-date with your girlfriend." I rolled my eyes and said "Dad, we're just friends." However, my dad raised an eyebrow and said "You two have been so romantic and you haven't make a move?" I blushed and ran to the waterhole, leaving my dad alone giggling.

When I arrived there, I saw 'The Special 7' members, but they weren't alone. I hid in the tall grass and moved my body slightly to the left and saw Tama having an argument with 8 cubs. However, Chumvi, Tojo, Ema, Kula and Nala backed her up. Tama is really brutal.

"HOW DARE YOU GO TO THE WATERHOLE!" shouted the cubs.

"KING MUFASA OWN PRIDELANDS! NOT YOU. AFTER THAT, SIMBA IS GOING TO OWN THIS LANDS! I WONDER WHAT HE WILL SAY AT YOUR ATTITUDE!" shouted Tama, while my other friends shouted 'YEAH!'.

"Oh, you guys never knew him that well, do you?" said Sikia, as she walked in front of all the other cubs that scared my back. What is she talking about? I remain hiding, because I wanted to know what the cubs would say about me.

"He used you guys, especially Nala." Said Sikia. WHAT A LIAR, SHE HURT ME AND LIED ABOUT ME! Oh, she's really gonna get it.

"NO! LIAR, SIMBA WOULD NEVER DO THAT. HE'S MY BEST FRIEND." Shouted Nala. I hope Nala doesn't fall for her trick.

"Okay then, where is Simba. He's not here. Oh, that's right, his with Giza and Mwanga. He's been a spy all along. DUH!." Said Sikia. That's when it hit me. I was extremely mad. I couldn't keep it in me anymore, so I searched for a rock, as quiet as possible

Tama POV

I couldn't believe it. I just can't. Simba is not a hypocrite.

"Noooo, He's with King Mufasa. I saw him walked out of the den with King Mufasa early this morning!" Nala hoping it's not true. I nodded in agreement to what she said, so did Chumvi, Kula and Ema but not my brother, Tojo. he's still feeding his birds, Idiot.

"Really, idiots would he take this long?" said Sikia. Tears started to weld up in our eyes except for Tojo and me.

"Exactly he hat-…Oww!, WHO DID THAT!?" she was interrupted by someone throwing a medium-size rock. There was a small cut on her head. Suddenly,

"SIKIA! YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" I knew that voice, It was Simba! Our group had no more tears and looked towards the voice. Then, Simba stepped out of the tall grass and said "Liar, that's all you ever do. I know a good name for you, hypocrite." Sikia glared at him with anger and shock in her eyes. All of us glared at Sikia.

"Move, you don't own the waterhole. If you don't move, someone's getting in big trouble." Said Simba while we back him up.

"Fine, go ahead KING!" Sikia said sarcastically as she and her mean friends move aside. Pfft, I'm stronger then Sikia and her friends. I'm the most brutal cub around. We walked to the Waterhole, not for long, Tojo followed us.

Then, we went to the edge of the water and drank some water. Suddenly, Simba looked at us with a cheeky yet goofy grin. We looked at him with confusion, then he went behind all of us. We looked at him while he gave us a smirk. We ignored him and continued drinking. I was the first to finish, so I turn my head to see Simba. Suddenly, when I was about to turn my head, he pushed me, Kula, Tojo, Chumvi, Ema. We gave him a deadly glare while he and Nala laughed so hard.

"Hey, why didn't you push Nala." Smirked Ema, Nala's face changed to a horror face.

"Oh yeah," Simba gave her a devious smile and turned and face towards her. Nala took a step back and said "Simba, no, no, no, no, no, n- Ahhh!" She was interrupted by Simba shoving her into the waterhole.

Nala POV

Simba shoved me into the deep-side of the waterhole, and I couldn't swim, so I flapped my hands around trying to get to shore. I was drowning and I couldn't breathe anymore because I was in the water. Then suddenly, Someone pulled me to shore.

It was all black. Am I dead? NOOO. I'M NOT DEAD. Suddenly, I felt someone blowing air into me. Then, I coughed out water and slowly opened my eyes to see all my friends. I shot a deadly glare to Simba while he gave me a fake yet apologetic smile.

"Umm, Sorry?" he said with a fake smile. I went over to him and hit him hard on the shoulder

"That's for drowning me, I nearly died." I frowned

"Jeez, I said I'm sorry." Complained Simba, Then I licked his muzzle.

"But, thank you for saving my life." I winked while he smirked.

Then, my friends said 'Awwww' in unison. Simba and I blushed at their reaction towards us.

"Hey, are you guys a couple yet?" asked Kula, my cousin.

Simba and I blushed harder at the word 'couple'. Simba and I exchanged looks and replied "I don't know" in unison. Kula and Ema gasped while Tama rolled her eyes. Kula and Ema are the couplemakers. There was an awkward silence after that.

When suddenly, Chumvi broke the silence by saying "Alright we get it, Simba is Mr. Kissy Kissy. Let's play tag now, shall we?" Simba glared at him while we giggled.

After that, we played tag till we were to tired, we felt like our lungs were gonna pierce through our chest from beating very hard and fast. But we had fun anyway. It was still bright, so we decided to take a nap at our usual spot. Under the shadiest Acacia tree at the waterhole. Tojo beside Ema, Kula beside Chumvi, Me beside Simba and last but not least, Tama all alone, but on her left was Kula.

Simba POV

All of us were taking a nap, but not me. I was fully awake. I didn't want to separate from my group, so I climbed up the tree and rested on the tree branch. It was the strongest branch on the tree. Suddenly, I saw Zazu flying towards me. I quickly said "Hey Zazu."

"Prince Simba, what are you doing on the tree branch? You could get hurt and your friends too." said Zazu with a concern face. I sighed but got down from the tree anyway. Before he left, I asked

"Zazu, where's my dad?" while he answered "He's off getting rid of the hyenas, those hyenas are disgusting. There a bunch of Slobbering Mangy-stupid Poachers."

I giggled and asked "Zazu, where does the hyenas live?" and he answered "Well, they live in the outlands."

I continued to ask "But where, the outlands are big." He sighed and said "okay, after this I have to go. Most of them live at the Elephant Graveyar-…oh my."

My face lit up and I said "Elephant Graveyard! Wow, it sounds so cool yet creepy." He then muttered "Oh Kings, I'm truly sorry for that. Please forgive me." I laughed and ran to my friends. I wanted to wake them up but stopped myself from doing so, because if I do wake them up, they would get cranky and all. So I have to be patient till the next day. I wasn't sleepy, so I decided to find for this 'Elephant Graveyard'. I walked to each border of the way to the outlands. Until, I found a border that I couldn't see anything there. There was a slope-hill, so I jumped several times to get a view of what is over there. Suddenly, when I was in mid-air, I saw big bones and death everywhere. I got excited but decided to wait till tomorrow. That was the 'Elephant Graveyard'.

I looked towards the sky and noticed that it was dark. Then, I walked back to Priderock. On the way there, I heard a lioness cub screaming "HELP ME! ANYBODY!". I ran towards the sound when suddenly, I saw three hyenas chasing the cub. I was in the bushes, I wanted to come out and save her but suddenly, my dad came out of nowhere and chase the hyenas towards the outlands, leaving the cub running towards the tall grass. I followed her until she was hiding behind a rock in the tall grass. I smiled and walked to her.

"Hey, it's safe now, you can come out." I reassured her. She slowly came out and I was stunned by her eye shape. They were almond shaped, she had beautiful emerald eyes with purple rims around it. Her body was fine and her fur was light-golden. Her tail-tuft was light brown.

She blushed when I examined her. When I'm done, I walked one step closer to her and accidentally stepped on a twig. She jumped and hid behind the rock

"W-what was t-that" she stuttered while a tear suddenly flow down her muzzle. I felt sympathy for her, so I said

"Hey, it's okay. I just accidentally stepped on a twig, that's all, what's your name?" she slowly came out again and answered "A-Aibu" I smiled and replied "Well, my names Simba, what brings you to the Pridelands and Aibu, don't be shy. Treat me like your well-known friend." I smiled, she gave me a nervous smile but answered "I erm I am from a small pride in the jungle. I was hungry, so I decided to go hunt at the Pridelands. I thought hunting was easy, so I took off to the Pridelands. Suddenly, I realized that I took the wrong path and I was in the outlands. Three hyenas saw me and chased after me while I ran pass the borders. I screamed out for help and well, here I am." I smiled and said "Well, hunting is not easy and are you leaving now?"

She shrugged and thought for a moment, then after thinking, she nodded. I gasped and said "Noooo, don't go." I realized what I said and covered my mouth with my paws. I blushed deeply, and she blushed madly.

"I m-mean umm because you know, I-it's dangerous at night and well, it's safe here. You could leave tomorrow." I stuttered. She slowly nodded and said "S-Simba, tomorrow when I leave, could you follow me? Pleassseeeee, I'm scared." I was shocked but I didn't want to see her sad, so I nodded my head in agreement. Her face lit up and she ran to me and nuzzled me. I purred when she did it. I couldn't tell anyone I'm leaving.

Aibu POV

I was so happy. He was so handsome and I enjoy nuzzling him. Suddenly, I realize what I was doing and I stopped. I blushed and said "I-I'm sorry." However, he smiled and said "I actually enjoyed it." I smiled hugely and nuzzled him more. Few minutes later, I stopped and he said

"It's getting really late, lets head back to Priderock, shall we?" I gave him a confused looked and he said "You'll see it later."

"Simba, will the King accept me?" I said with concern in my voice. However, he smirked and said "I'm the Prince, I'm sure he'll let you in." My jaw dropped and he quickly closed them and said

"Relax, I'm just like any normal cub." I smiled. Before we left, I examined him. He had brownish-gold fur and it's so beautiful at night, he has amber eyes and a brown tail tuft.

"What are you doing?" He smirked while I blushed and answered "I- I was just umm seeing umm you know, I-I w-was-…" I was interrupted by him saying "examining me." My eyes widen and I blushed in embarrassment.

"No no no no no no no no no no, I-I wasn't e-examining you." I gave him a fake smile. He giggled and said "That's okay, well let's head back then." I sigh in relief and answered "okay." And the two of us walked back home while chatting.
