A/N: I know, I'm supposed to do Part II to 'Protective', but I have such a writers block on that chapter...sorrry! I was reading through all my chapters and reviews when I got this inspiration.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Lion King.

Nala didn't think she was a special lioness. She had her good sides, and her flaws. She was just average.

An average lioness, an average family life. The one thing not average about her was her friendship with the Prince.

He was the Prince, she was the daughter of a lioness who had been exiled from her old Pride. He had everyone wanting be his friend; she had cubs taunting her left and right.

He had quick retorts to bullies...

...for Nala.

Nala may be average, but her friendship with Simba is anything but average.

If you asked Nala to describe her self with a phrase, she'd reply with, "An average lioness."

Simba would reply with, "The most amazing cub I've ever met; the one I love."
