A/N: I don't know why everyone is arguing about which of Simba's cubs should be in this. I already have it planned, so I can't just go and change it.
anonymous13: Angani's threats may be empty, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't carry them out if she really wanted to. And Simba obviously won't be the only one to see his future self, so I'm sure we'll get some interesting reactions. Enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 2: The Princess
"This can't be." Tora said. "If he's Simba, then that means..."
"Whoever that lion was sent us into the future." Nala finished for her. "That would explain why he was glowing."
"But time travel is impossible." Kora said.
"After everything that's happened to us, you say that's impossible?" Tora asked. "I'd say it's extremely probable."
"You cubs wait here." adult Simba told him. "I'll be right back." He then ran down Pride Rock. A few minutes later, he came back with a creamy colored lioness. "See, Nala? I'm not crazy! It's us as cubs."
"How?" adult Nala asked.
"Well, like I said before," cub Nala began, "we found this weird lion in the jungle and then he started glowing. Then, we woke up and we were here."
"Maybe he's still in the jungle..." Kulaani suggested. "You know, just an older version of him. Then we can get out of here."
"Uh, about the jungle..." Adult Simba said. "It burned down a while back..."
"Wait, what!?" Kulaani exclaimed. "My family lives there!"
"It's okay, Kulaani." Adult Simba said. "Your pride got out safe."
"I'm still having a hard time believing this." Adult Nala said. "But it definately us." She seemed to be in thought as she looked at the cubs. "Well, until you can find a way back, you can stay here. We-"
"Mom! Daddy!" the voice of a female cub rang out. They all looked to where the voice was coming from. The cub had creamy colored fur with a noticeable tinge of gold. "Hey... Who are they?" she asked when she saw the group of cubs.
"Um..." Simba said as he tried to think of something to say. "Kiara, these cubs are... well... this is Simba, and that's Nala."
"Why do you have the same names as my parents?" Kiara asked Simba and Nala.
"Because we are your parents... I guess..." Simba said.
"No, you're not." Kiara said. "They're standing right there."
"Kiara," her father said, "I know this is hard to belive, but that is your mom, my friends, and I as cubs."
"That's not possible." Kiara said.
"You know those stories about my cubhood I told you?" Simba asked. "This would be a perfect example of one." He turned his attention to the other cubs. "Now, you guys can feel free to look around, but don't go too far until we find a way to help you."
"Alright." cub Simba said. "We'll all meet up back here later. I'm sure you're all waiting to see your future selves."
"I'm actuall pretty curious." Tora said.
All the cubs decided they would split up for now and meet back at the den later.
"So..." Simba said as he and Nala walked with Kiara. "You're our daughter?"
"Yes, Da- I mean Sim- What do I call you?" Kiara asked.
"Simba's fine." he told her. "It would be kind of weird if you called us Mom and Dad, considering we're cubs."
"True..." Kiara said. "Hey, you wanna go meet my best friend?"
"Sure." Nala said.
"Okay, but we have to make sure my parents don't see us leave." Kiara told them.
"Why?" Simba asked.
"It's close to the Outlands," she said, "but it's fine, we meet each other everyday at the same place."
"Let's go then." Nala said.
"Hey, I think that's us." Tora said to Mheetu as they approached the water hole. They saw a dark tan lioness and a lion with light colored fur with a black mane.
"My mane is black?" Mheetu asked.
"Well, it has to be some color." Tora answered. "Come on, let's get over there!"
The lion with the black mane looked over and saw two cubs approaching. His eyes widened as he looked at the cubs. "What the heck!?" he exclaimed.
"What?" the lioness said as she looked to where he was looking. She then had a look of shock on her face. "Mheetu, is that..."
"I think so, Tora." he answered. "But it's impossible."
"Hey," cub Tora said as she and Mheetu got to them. "Are you Tora and Mheetu?"
"Yes," Adult Mheetu answered. "Are you?"
"Yep." cub Mheetu answered. "And before you ask, we were sent to the future by some weirdo in the jungle."
"Sounds like our cubhood." Adult Tora said.
"I still think I'm hallucinating." Adult Mheetu said. "Anyway, why did you come look for us?"
"Well," cub Tora said, "while we're stuck in the future, I wanted to see if we had any cubs."
"Yes, we do." Adult Tora answered, "In fact, here they come now."
Two cubs were walking towards them. One was a female with the same fur color as Mheetu, and the other was a male that was the same color as Tora with a black tuft of fur on his head and some black fur on the rims of his ears.
"Bahati, Akiki." Adult Mheetu said as his son and daughter approached. "We'd like you to meet someone... Well, you already know them, but you don't."
"Dad, you're nuts." Bahati said.
"What's he talking about?" Akiki asked her mother.
"Kids, these two cubs here are your father and I when we were cubs." their mother said.
"Ha, good one Mom." Bahati said.
"I'm serious." she said. "I always told you we had nutty things happen to us when we were cubs."
"So, those stories weren't made up?" he asked. "Weird."
"Our cubs wre so cute!" cub Tora exclaimed.
"Why don't you go with them?" Adult Tora told her cubs. "They could probably tell you things that we can't remember."
"Isn't hanging out with your parents kind of... uncool?" Bahati asked.
"Technically, they aren't yet." Akiki said.
"True." her brother responded. "Let's go then."
Adult Tora and Mheetu watched as the four cubs walked away.
"Still not believing it." Mheetu said. "Oh well, at least the kids will be entertained."
"I need to get back." Kivuli said to himself as he walked through the Pridelands. "I can't carry out my plan during this time period. It just won't work." Even though he was a powerful being, he didn't have the ablility to travel through time. "There has to be a way to get back... That's it! If I can find those cubs, they're bound to find a way to the past and I'll be sure to go with them." He then disappeared to go look for Simba and his friends. Kivuli knew he had to be careful not to make himself known to them... At least not until the time was right.
A/N: There's chapter two. Reviews are now being moderated to stop the arguing about Simba's cubs, but that should stop now that you n=know who's in it. And just so you know, Kiara was the one I planned on having in it. I like Kopa, but he just didn't fit into it. Anyway, in the next chapter the rest of the cubs will meet their future selves, and other things will happen, but you'll have to wait to find out.
