A/N: This chapter just focuses on the other cubs meeting themselves, except Angani and Mkali, but don't worry, we'll get to see them. I got something planned for them... That's all I got. Have fun.
Chapter 3: This is Your Future
Kora and Kula had decided to go to the top of Pride Rock to look for their future selves. Since they go up there a lot to be by themselves, they figured their older selves did too. When they got to the top, they saw a dark tan lion with a black mane, and a brown-furred lioness sitting next to him. They had their backs to the two cubs.
"That must be them, I mean us." Kula said. "Come on, lt's go see." They both walked up to the two lions. "Excuse me."
The two adults turned around and looked at the two cubs in front of them.
"Kora, am I really seeing what I think I am?" the lioness asked.
"Yep, that's us, Kula." Adult Kora said in a voice that was much deeper than the cubs expected.
"Dang," Cub Kula said, "Your voice is deep."
"Wait." Adult Kula said. "H-"
"How are we here?" Kora finished for her. "Well, that's a long story."
"So, what's are life like in the future?" cub Kula asked. "Do we have cubs?"
"Well," Adult Kora said, "You will soon." He looked over at his mate. "In about a month."
"So, have you met everyone else?" Adult Kula asked. "They'd probably be surprised to see you."
"Unless the others already found them." cub Kora said. "Then they won't be too surprised."
"We should all meet up with each other." Adult Kula said. "Come on, we'll go find everyone else."
"He should be here any minute." Kiara said to Simba and Nala as they all waited by the border of the Outlands. "We meet here everyday at the same time."
"I'm not sure I approve of my daughter meeting with an Outlander." Simba told her.
Kiara just rolled her eyes. "Even as a cub, you tell me the same things." She looked out into the Outlands and saw a cub approaching. "Here he comes!"
"Hey, Kiara." the cub said when he reached them. He had brown fur and a black tuft of fur on his head. The cub then noticed Simba and Nala. "Who are those two?"
"Before I tell you, Kovu," Kiara said, "I need you to know I'm telling the truth and that I'm not crazy."
"I would never think that." Kovu assured her.
"Alright..." Kiara sighed. "They are my parents... from the past."
"Huh?" Kovu said.
"Yeah..." Kiara said. "They're stuck here until they find a way back from the past."
"Weird..." Kovu said. "Anyway, what should we do today?"
"I don't know." Kiara replied. "How about we just take it easy today. I'm interested in talking to them more, maybe you'll be interested too."
"Sure, why not?" Kovu said. "It's still weird, but a cool weird."
"Well, there's Sora." Adult Kula said. "It looks like they've already met."
"Why does adult Sora look so stressed?" Kula asked. "And why does our Sora look so... surprised?"
"Oh," Adult Kora said, "that may have something to do with the seven cubs he has. It takes a lot out of him to look after all of them."
They continued to walk over to where Sora, Akili, and their future selves were.
"Well," cub Kula laughed, "someone's been busy."
"Seven...?" Sora said quietly. "Seven!"
"Oh, and another thing," Adult Sora said, pointing to his mane. "These cubs are going to make your mane turn gray... Early."
"Great..." Sora sighed.
"Woah!" Tora said as she, Mheetu, Bahati, and Akiki walked over. "That's a lot of cubs!"
"Uncle Sora," Bahati said. "You look stressed. Is your anxiety acting up again? Don't get too worked up, Mom told me about the last time when you passed out from an anxiety attack."
"I'll watch them for a while." Adult Kula said. "It'll give you and Akili a break."
"Thank you." Adult Sora said. "Kids, go with aunt Kula. Behave for her."
Sora's cubs all followed their aunt to give their parents a break.
"Whew..." Adult Sora said, "They're exausting."
"I told you to stop after three." a lion said as he walked up to the group. "Vitani and I did."
"Yes, thank you, Kulaani." he answered sarcastically. "Where's Vitani at?"
"Oh, she's just with our past selves." he told him. "They must have figured out how to time travel. Not an easy thing to do."
"Wait..." cub Kora said. "You know how to?"
"Of course." Kulaani answered. "Though it's not an easy process."
"Sora, Akili, Mheetu, and Tora," Kula said, "you stay here while Kora and I go find everyone else."
"Alright." Sora said before the two cubs and adult Kora left.
"So," Adult Sora said to Sora and Akili, "how about I teach you some ways to control anxiety. Trust me, you'll need it."
"Uh... Sure..." Sora said. "That would be great..."
A/N: Poor future Sora, getting a gray mane early and suffering from anxiety attacks. I guess he should have listened to Kulaani... That's all for now. I'm tired... so yeah... Good night.
