CandyLuv99, thanks for the review and you're welcome.
I'm switching somethings, Bunga is going to be a lion. Have fun meeting some of the cubs, enjoy.
Present time
The sun had risen over the beautiful plains known as the Pridelands. Princess and future queen Kiara ran out of the cave along with her older cousins, Hamilton and Moreau onto the peak of Pride Rock, and smiled happily at the beautiful day the sun had brought them.
Hamilton, the oldest out of the three was much like Kiara. Wanted to make his own mark, wanted to be remembered as more than the savior king's nephew.
Moreau, Mheetu and Jiana's oldest of their twins. Was more skeptical. Tend to follow the rules, but it was a bit difficult when hanging around Kiara and Hamilton.
"Wow!" Kiara cried out in awe as gazed out into the kingdom under the golden glow from the kopje edge.
Hamilton and Moreau glanced at one another before they started snickering. This earn a annoyed glare from Kiara.
"What's so funny!?"
"You! Kiki," Moreau started with a amused grin.
Hamilton snickered again, his dark brown eyes full of humor as he finished. "You've seen the Pridelands, how many times now?"
Kiara huffed, clearly annoyed with her cousins. Before heading down the rocky slope.
Hamilton and Moreau smiled at each other, and made their way down the slope as well. The golden orange princess was suddenly plucked up from the ground by Simba, making Hamilton and Moreau stop in their tracks.
"Where do you think your going in such a hurry?" Simba asked playfully, picking Kiara with his paw gently when she tried to escape over to her cousins.
"Daddy! Let go!" Kiara giggled after Simba placed her back on her paws.
Simba smiled, but still looked a bit stern. "Now, I just want you to be careful." Kiara and Hamilton didn't pay that much attention, too busy trying to catch a pretty butterfly, before the creamy beige cub fell on his belly when Simba pressed his paw on his tail gently.
"Are youtwo listening? Accidents can happen." Hamilton listened this time along with Moreau, while Kiara just looked bored. She had heard this speech a dozen times. Kiara just had one thing in mind when it came to the outside world; Have fun.
"You could easily get hurt-"
"'Hurt, or stepped on, or even get lost'." Kiara copied.
Simba sighed, but continued anyways."And remember. I want you to stay by Pride Rock at all times."
"'At all times', I know." she finished with him at the end, while Moreau just nodded and Hamilton snickered. "'And if you see any strangers, don't talk to them. Come straight home.' Okay, okay! Can we go now? PLEASE?" Kiara smiled innocently as Moreau and Hamilton nodded with her, giving their signature smiles that they inherited from their parents.
Simba hummed, "Very funny, you three."
Anna, the senior princess of the Pridelands made herself known when she sat down next to her brother and chuckled."Mind your father, Kiara. And you mind your uncle." she told them and they smiled knowingly.
"Yes, mom."
"Yes, Auntie Anna."
Hamilton and his cousins chorused together. Then Simba said one last thing;
"And stay away from the Outlands." just then, Zazu flew over Simba's head and seated himself beside the cubs.
"Nothing there but a bunch of backstabbing, murderous, Outsiders." Zazu gritted his beak and sneered, as if these 'Outsiders' were right by their side.
"Zazu's right." Simba agreed, looking at the Outlands in disgust for a moment, before turning back to them. "You can't turn your back on them." he told them.
Moreau and Hamilton nodded, both knowing this was not the time to talk back, but Kiara looked confused.
"Really? How come?" she asked innocently, but Simba just shook his head. They weren't ready to hear the truth about the Outsiders.
"Never mind. Just run along now." he told them, but they both still wanted to know. At least, Hamilton and Kiara did. But he wouldn't give it to them, "You'll understand someday." they smiled, nuzzled and weaved in between Simba and Anna's legs and then ran off.
"And stay on the path I marked for you!" Simba called out after them.
Anna chuckled, finding this rather funny. "Simba. Who do those two remind you of, hmm?" Simba looked confused for second, before asking what she meant.
"They were just like us, when we were cubs." she told him, nuzzling him sisterly, but he didn't return it.
"Exactly! Don't you relies the dangers we put us in?" he asked, looking in the cubs direction, before being pinned easily by a playfully insulted Anna.
"Simba, relax. We were cubs once." she told him, and he chuckled, realizing his sister was right as she nuzzled him and he nuzzled back. They pulled away, still smiling.
"They'll be fine." with that, she walked away, making her way to the cave as Simba stared after her, not that comforted by her words.
...
Racing through the Pridelands in a game of baobab fruit ball, was Prince Kion and his best friend, Bunga. The greyish cub with a white spikish tuff on his that lined the underside of his forelegs. Was Kion's most trusted companion.
Bunga was adopted by Timon and Pumbaa, a week after Kiara's presentation. The greyish cub was younger than Kiara but a day or two older than the princess.
Kion and Bunga ran through the Pridelands passing the baobab fruit back and forth before the fruit went over a cliff that leads into the Outlands.
"Oh man. There's our game." Kion sighed before turning to head back home.
"Come on Ky'. What could happen?"
Kion frowned as he watched his closest friend leap down the piles of rocks before running over to the fruit.
Kion gasped when he saw that Bunga wasn't alone. "Bunga, look out!"
Before Bunga could respond a hyena that the young cubs unfortunately knew as Chungu picked the greyish cub up as another hyena and Cheezi appeared laughing.
"Janja will be most pleased!" the greyish hyena sneered.
"H-hey! Let him go!"
The greyish hyena laughed as he looked up at Kion. "Why don't you come down here!" when Kion didn't move the greyish hyena and his comrades laughed before the greyish hyena turned to Bunga. "I'm starving."
"No!" something in Kion snapped. The golden yellow cub's green eyes began to shine like the stars. "Let him go!"
Kion roared which sent the hyenas tumbling back. When Kion stopped roaring they looked around before taking a deep breath. "Hevi kabisa! What was that?"
Priderock
"That was Kion's roar?'' Nala asked Rafiki, who laughed as he stood at the peak.
Nala absolutely didn't want anything to do with Simba. She was surprised she was still queen but she knew that Simba don't have it in him to divorce her. But the peachy cream lioness was mainly here because it contained her son.
Anna who was closer to her brother shook her head in annoyance. She never did like Nala, even when they were cubs. She only got along because Simba really liked her, even though he refuse to admit it.
Now, after months of ignoring her brother, not to mention the king she wants to be apart of royal business. Nala's lucky it's dealing with Kion or she would of gave her a piece of her mind. The creamy beige lioness is still tempted.
''Yes Nala, yes!'' Rafiki replied, "The prince is ready..It Is Time!''
''No, Rafiki.'' Simba said shaking his head, ''Kion can't possibly be ready, he's still a cub.''
The golden king was then hit on the head with a stick.
''Ow!" Simba yelped before looking at the sherman.
''Simba, you heard the roar!'' Rafiki reminded the king of the pridelands.
''But..it's just..it's a big responsibility,'' Simba said reluctantly. ''I need more time to prepare them.''
''You ran out of time, brother.'' Anna told her big brother, ''You need to tell him.''
''Tell me what, auntie?'' Kion asked his creamy beige aunt as he and Bunga walked over to the gathered adults.
Anna turned to her brother and the sherman who turned to Simba.
''Well..um..we need to talk, Kion.'' Simba said after taking a deep breath, said and his son instantly had a look of fear.
''Oh no..dad, we already had that talk. 'Can you feel the love tonight'!'' Kion said in a annoyed tone.
Simba looked at Anna, who snickered in amusement at her brother's torture.
Simba cleared his throat before looking back at his son. "No. I'm gonna talk to you about something else..follow me.'' Simba said, both of Kion and Bunga was confused but followed after the king.
