Thanks for the reviews!

Tama led Simba and Nala into the den to see Chumvi and Kula lying together on a stone slab.

"Hello, you two." Kula greeted, smiling.

"Hello, Kula. How are you?" Nala asked.

"Miserable, but that because I'm beside Chumvi, other then that, I'm great."

"Har, har." Chumvi smirked.

"You know I love you." Kula laughed.

"It would be nice if you showed it once in a while."

"Anyway, we're sorry to have sent our message, but we didn't know what else to do. Tama has been working hard to support us all, but she couldn't do it alone." Kula explained.

"We understand. You're practically family." Simba said, nuzzling the lioness.

Outside, the others were speaking with Kovu, Kiara and Vitani whilst Kopa stood off to the side, admiring the pride. They had survived so much, including Scar's reign.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

Kopa jumped and whipped his head to see Tama walking up beside him.

"Y-yeah,"

"You don't remember me, do you? I'm not surprised. You were very small." Tama said. "When we came to visit, I used to babysit you, while your parents went hunting. You were adorable."

Kopa blushed.

"But now, look at you, a handsome lion. You're going to make a wonderful king."

The golden lion smiled. "One day, perhaps, but not of the land you think."

"You won't be taking over the Pride Lands?"

"No, my parents and I learned long ago that my place as king was somewhere else. Kiara is next in line after my father."

Tama stared for a moment before shaking her head. "Well, I'm sure you'll make an amazing king." And with that, she turned and walked towards Malka, leaving a very confused Kopa.

"Hey, why so alone?" Vitani asked as she came to sit beside him.

"I'm not alone, I have you."

The tan lion smiled before looking over the land. "It's weird how they survived with a small pride. You'd think they have more members with this land. It's so big and there seem to be a lot of herds."

"No land is perfect, they all have their secrets." Kopa pointed out. "Perhaps there is a reason their pride is small."

"I wonder if that old lion they called king lived on this land by himself."

"One of the lionesses said there were other members, but they left."

"Wonder why."

Kopa shrugged.

TLK

"A magnificent catch, my friend!" Malka smiled as Simba and his family dragged three freshly killed deer towards the den.

"We shall feast like royalty!" Kula said as she struggled to stand, but failed.

Tama frowned as she leapt to her side. "Your meal will be brought to you like royalty as well." She said.

"Come, Tama, I can stand!"

"Fine, you may try after you have eaten." Tama ordered.

Kula pouted. "Yes, Mother."

Tama raised an eyebrow. "What was that, cub?" She smirked.

Simba laughed as he passed out portions to each lion. "These are slower then the ones in the Pride Lands."

"They've grown spoiled for no one had been able to hunt them for a while. They felt safe." Tojo said as a blue bird landed on his shoulder. He nuzzled the bird before it flew off to join it's brothers."

"How come Kidogo can speak and understand but the others can not?" Kiara asked.

"Kidogo was the only one who wanted to learn. Bluu, Dege and Dogo can understand us and I can speak to them in small chirps, but they don't know how to speak our language." Tojo explained. "I learned lessons on bird speech from Zazu, after I found the little guys. Just four little eggs. When they hatched, they assumed I was their father and I took them in. The pride helped me a great deal in keeping them a secret from Scar and the hyenas."

"They seem very grateful to you." Kovu said.

"Ah, yes, but they haven't been much help in the ladies department." Malka smirked.

"Perhaps. Though I did impress one lioness with them." Tojo smiled.

"Who?" The younger lions asked.

Tojo smiled as Nala blushed.

Kopa's eyes widened. "No way! Mom, were you really with Tojo?"

Nala laughed. "No, Tojo just wishes. Though we were very close back then, and for a time I thought we might end up running away together... and we nearly did. But my place was with my mother and my pride. I couldn't leave them."

"Yeah, Nala was always the weird one in the bunch." Malka said before being smacked by Tama.

Kula nodded. "What Nala did was right. The Great Kings had a plan for her and that was help her pride and bring back the rightful prince."

"You can imagine our surprise when news traveled here, saying our friend was back from the dead." Chumvi said. "We traveled back to the Pride Lands to see for ourselves."

Simba nodded. "They were a large help in restoring order to the land. They didn't leave until the first leaf appeared."

"We appreciate all your help, that you have done for my family." Kiara smiled.

"So, Kiara, we hear that you are the future queen of the Pridelands." Malka said. "Is Kovu to be your mate?"

The two exchanged glances and smiled.

Kovu chuckled. "Yeah, I guess. Kiara, she's my updeni."

Kiara blushed.

Tojo tilted his head. "Kovu means scar doesn't it? I suppose you were his son?"

"Adopted." Kovu quickly corrected. "He stole me from my mother and father. I share no blood with him."

"And how did you come to meet our little Kiara?" Kula asked.

Simba stood. "I'll tell that story." he said. "You see, Kiara was like myself as a cub. One day..."

And that's this chapter, hope you guys liked it, sorry it's a little short.
