(One day, in the Pridelands, lion cubs, Simba and Nala, the future king and queen of which, were happily playing together, like all playful lion cubs do, and playfully wrestling each other, like they always do.)

Nala: (Playfully Pins Simba) Ha! Pinned Ya Again, Simba. (Giggles)

Simba: (Giggles) Hey, Nala, Can We Belly Rub?

Nala: Sure, Simba. Maybe Later, Though.

Simba: Okay.

(Later, Simba And Nala Belly Rub)

Simba: (Purrs)

Nala: (Purrs)

Nala: I Love Belly Rubs.

Simba: Me Too.

(Simba And Nala Look Each Other In The Eye With A Loving Glance)

Simba: I Love You, Nala.

Nala: I Love You Too, Simba.

(And They Nuzzle)

Simba: Can I Tickle Your Belly, Nala?

Nala: Of Course, Simba.

Nala: (Lays On Her Back)

Simba: (Tickles Nala's Belly)

Nala: (Giggles) That Tickles!

Simba: Coochie-Coochie-Coochie.

Simba: (Tickles Nala's Toes)

Nala: (Laughs)

Simba: Coochie-Coochie-Coochie.

Nala: (Laughs) Please Stop!

Simba: (Giggles And Stops Tickling)

Nala: (Catches Her Breath And Sighs Of Relief) Thanks, Simba.

Simba: You're Welcome, Nala.

Nala: Your Turn To Be Tickled, Now.

Simba: Okay.

Simba: (Lays On His Back)

Nala: (Tickles Simba's Belly)

Simba: (Giggles) That Tickles!

Nala: Coochie-Coochie-Coochie.

Nala: (Tickles Simba's Toes)

Simba: (Laughs)

Nala: Coochie-Coochie-Coochie.

Simba: (Laughs) Please Stop!

Nala: (Giggles And Stops Tickling)

Simba: (Catches Her Breath And Sighs Of Relief) Thanks, Nala.

Nala: You're Welcome, Simba.

Simba: Wanna Go Swimming At The Watering Hole?

Nala: Yes.

Simba: Okay, Then, Let's Go.

Nala: Okay.

(And So, They Head To The Watering Hole)

Nala: (Jumps Into The Water) Belly Flop!

Simba: (Jumps Into The Water) Cannonball!

(Splash)

Simba And Nala: (Playfully Laughing And Splashing About In The Shallow Part Of The Watering Hole)

Nala: Hey, Simba, Watch This! (Spins And Goes Underwater)

Simba: (Laughs) Wow! (Dives Underwater After Nala)

(Simba And Nala Swim With The Fishes)

Simba: (Chuckles) Friendly Little Fellas, Aren't They? Hi Guys.

Nala: Hello Fishies.

(The Fish Start Tickling Simba And Nala)

Simba: (Giggles)

Nala: (Giggles) That Tickles, Fishies!

Simba: (Swims Up For Air)

Nala: (Follows Simba)

Simba: (Gasps For Breath)

Nala: (Gasps For Breath)

Simba: I Love Swimming

Nala: Me Too.

(They Eventually Swim To Shore And Dry Off In the Grass, Before Climbing Up Onto A Huge Rock To Sleep And Sunbathe On)

Simba: (Sleeps)

Nala: (Wiggles Her Toes)

Simba: What Are You Doing, Nala?

Nala: (Giggles) Massaging Your Ear With My Toes.

Simba: Oh, Okay.

Simba: (Purrs)

Nala: That Feels Good, Huh?

Simba: Oh, Yeah.

Nala: (Giggles)

Simba: (Hears Nala's Belly Growl) Whoa, What Was That?

Nala: (Giggles) That Was Me, Simba.

Simba: Really?

Nala: Yes.

Simba: Then, What's Wrong?

Nala: Nothing.

Simba: (Hears Nala's Belly Growl Again) Then, If Nothing's Wrong, Why Do You Keep Growling Like That?

Nala: (Giggles) 'Cause That's Not Me, It's My Belly.

Simba: Ohhhhhhhhh. (Chuckles) Can I Listen To It?

Nala: Of Course, You Can.

Simba: (Places His Ear On Nala's Belly And Listens To It Growl) Cute Belly Growls.

Nala: (Giggles) Thanks.

Simba: If Nothing's Wrong With It, Then Why Does It Keep Doing That?

Nala: (Giggles) Guess I'm Hungry.

Simba: Hm. Come To Think Of It, My Belly's Feeling A Bit Empty Too. I Wonder If Mom And Dad And The Rest Of Our Pride Are Hungry Too? It's Been Quite A While Since They Last Hunted.

Nala: Maybe. But They're All Busy Right Now. So, Let's Keep Playing Together.

Simba: Okay.

(Simba And Nala Head Off To Go Play Together Some More)

Nala: (Playfully Pins Simba) Pinned Ya. Again. (Giggles Cheekily)

Simba: (Giggles) Oh, Nala.

Nala: (Giggles)

Simba: (Wiggles His Back Toes And Places Them Against Nala's Belly)

Nala: (Giggles And Falls Onto Her Back)

Simba: (Quickly Gets Up And Playfully Pins Nala) Gotcha'! (Giggles Cheekily)

Nala: (Giggles) Oh, Simba.

Simba: (Giggles)

(Simba And Nala Look Each Other In The Eye With A Loving Glance)

(And They Nuzzle)

Nala: I Love You, Simba.

Simba: I Love You Too, Nala.

Nala: Can You Please Promise Me Something?

Simba: Sure, What Is It?

Nala: Promise Me That, No Matter What, You'll Never Leave Me, And Always Be By My Side?

Simba: I Promise.

Nala: Thanks, Simba.

Simba: Anytime, Nala.

(And They Embrace As They Nuzzle)

Simba: Come On, Let Go Home. Our Parents Will Be Wondering Where We Are.

Nala: Okay.

(And so, they both head back to Pride Rock.)

(The End)
