The sun has just hit it's high point of the day their were a few clouds what were covering the sky that were letting rays of light hit the ground but the clouds were also give some shade for the animals of the Pride Lands. It was a very very hot day today some of the lions of the Pride were sunbathing in the open space in the face of Pride Rock and some of the lion were chatting inside the den to cool down and inside the Royal Chambers the Queen, Nala was feeding Kion. He was very hungry from his playtime fighting with his siblings before he tuck his nap after the cub had finished feeding.
" mummy when are we going out with Will and Kiara into the Pride lands " he looks to Nala with his squeaky cub ish voice.
" soon dear. But first you have to have your bath " Nala grabs him by the scruff of his neck and places him in her paws and starts lick his fur of the dirt and other things that was stuck on his fur. As she was cleaning the cub Simba walks into the chambers and up to them with a smile he looks to the cub who is enjoying his bath by purring and not trying to escape from it.
" I see that he likes getting his fur clean not like our other two cubs " he say with a chuckle referring too Will and Kiara that hate someone give them a bath Nala stop for a sec.
" I know it's so much easier and better when they don't struggle " she says looking to the cub with smile then continue bathing him Simba walk over to the Royal Rock in the middle of the Chamber and lays on top of it. About ten minutes later she finished bathing Kion and let him go. He ran to get a drink from the watering hole what was in the den after he had his drink.
" so now can we go " the cub is now jumping up and down excited to be allowed to go out from Pride Rock and into the Pride Lands for the very first time Nala walks over to Simba and just smile at the very excited cub still jumping up and down.
" I think he wants to go now dear " Simba whispered into her ear she looks to him smiles and gives him a lick.
" come on then Kion let's go and find everyone else so we can go " and with that Kion ran out of the den with Nala and Simba watching fur ball disappears into the main room in Pride Rock. As Kion left leaving the King and Queen in the chambers Rafiki had entered with his long stick in one hand and a few fruits in the other he looks to the couple with a smile.
" your majesty's " he says in his thick Africa accent and gives a bow which Simba and Nala also give a little bow to the mandrill.
" good afternoon Rafiki how are you " Nala asks being polite.
" very well " he reply's in cheerful manner and continue walking towards the wall of paintings. The king and Queen watch the mandrill and look back each smiling.
" behave yourself dear " she says looking to Simba with a smiles and a lick.
" I will dear I've got to go and see the elephants and herds leader Aminifu about the dry season what is coming up and after taking over on patrol from your dad " Simba says. Meanwhile other at the other side of the room Rafiki had put his stick resting on the wall then had put the fruits on the floor and started cruising them into a hollow tortoise shell as he was doing this he notices that their were two sets of paw prints on the floor one was small and red and the other one was a little bit bigger but purple. He looked towards the watering hole were they finished he thought it was peculiar so he strokes his long beard and follows with his eyes were they came from then he notices that they were two bowls of red and purple paint that he left from yesterday.
" I wonder who could of did dis " he asks himself out loud but as he looks to wall then suddenly he see the two set of prints were on the wall as well.
" who do dis to my wall " he shouts a bit angry. Both Simba and Nala look to him wondering what was going on. So they walked towards him and sore the set of prints on the floor and wall and just smiling and chuckling knowing that it was probably their cubs and with that Nala nuzzles Simba one last time and walks off to see were Kion has run off to and to grab the other cubs. Meanwhile outside the den Kiara was still laid down sunbathing in nice warm sun with her friends Tiffu and Zuri waiting for Nala to collect them. Tiifu was digging into the ground bored and wanting to do something, Zuri was cleaning her fur as she always does.
" how long do we have to wait am bored Kiara " Tiifu looks to her and sided of boredom.
" how do I know. Mum said we would be leaving as soon as Kion had his nap " she brought her head up from the ground to look around to answer her then put head back down because she was enjoying the sun and wanted to stay like this.
" I don't want your complaining about it means more time to get urself all beautiful for everyone to see " Zuri says then go back to licking her fur clean.
" Zuri if you keep lick urself clean your fur is going to be sore and your tung is going to be numb " Tiifu says in a joking manner at her even Kiara giggled at the statement but Zuri looks to the pair not amused.
" at least I look pretty for the Queen not like some lioness " she looks straight to Tiifu
" what do you mean I always look pretty. Don't I Kiara " she shifts her gaze to Kiara who is laid down try to not get involved.
" don't bring me into this argument " she says moving her head away from the two cubs gaze and closer her eyes but Tiifu gets up and walk in front of her blocking the sun from her.
" hay Tiifu I was enjoying the sun " she opens her eyes.
" Kiara do you think am not pretty " she says worried that everyone will think she ugly.
" Tiifu no one thinks your ugly. Don't listen to her she just jealous " Kiara says.
" hay " Zuri says surprise what Kiara just said but see her looking at her a bit annoyed and nudges her head to Tiifu so she walks up to her.
" sorry Tiifu I didn't mean it. You look beautiful as all ways " and with that she gives a nuzzle.
" right since you two are ok now can you please move out of the sun so I can enjoy it " Tiifu and Zuri smiles and apologies to her then moves to her side to carry on doing whatever they were doing before but as Kiara was about to enjoy the sun again a faint sound of feet running towards her.
" Kiara, Kiara " she looks up to see this cub running towards her from the entrance of the den she notices that he was not stopping as she was getting up.
" Kion sto..." but before she could finish her sentence the cub collided with her leaving a cloud of dust. Seconds later after he corlied with her and now was on top of her as the dust had settled Kiara looked up to the cub steering down her.
" it's time to go. Mum said " Kion says but not notices that Kiara was annoyed.
" Kion why didn't you stop before you ran into he " she said in a annoyed manner not paying attention to what he said. Kion looks down at her didn't rallies what he did was anything wrong. Both Tiifu and Zuri was just standing there just giggling at what has transpired.
" ooow you two think it's funny " both Tiifu and Zuri immediately stop look to at the Princess who is now looking at them with a raised eyebrow but she looks away and back to Kion.
" so what do you want little brother " Kion still on top of her.
" mum said we're going now and find you three and Will " he looks around for him.
" ok Kion can you get off me please and will go get our brother " and with that Kion jumped off his sister and followed her and her friends to the tree just outside the den. Kion looks around wondering why Kiara had brought him here.
" Kiara " the little cub looks to her.
" what is it Kion " she asks.
" I thought we were looking for Will. So why are we standing here " Kion asks who is looking confused.
" we are looking for him and we have found him. He is were he always is at this time " she points with her paw to the top of the tree to a cub who is still sleeping on a branch.
" ok now we can go " he starts jumping up and down ready to go but immediately stops.
" why is he up there " the young prince asks confused why he was up there.
" little brother I have no clue he is just weird " shaking her head.
" WILL...WILL...WILL " the cub starts shouting his name trying to get his attention but no success.
" I have a better Idea to wake him up. Do you want to play a game " Kion looks to her nods his head up and down at the sound of a game.
" what game " the little cub asks.
" it's called wake the brother up " she picks up a little stone then try's to throw it at him but it hits just below him.
" right it's your turn now Kion " so Kion pick up stone and throws it towards Will but he also misses so the four cubs took it in turns to get him but all of them went over him or too low or to the side. Until Kiara finally got him on her finale attempt she got him on the back of his hindleg. Will twitch's his leg and starts to wake up from his nap.
" aah...what...was...that " he says in between his moans of been waking up. He rubs his eyes wondering what hit him so he looks down to the ground to see four cubs starting up at him smiling.
" what do you'll lot want " sounding annoyed been rudely waken from his nap.
" it's time to go for the walk " Kiara says rolling her eyes.
" fine I coming " he groans and has a long stretch's on the tree branch before jumping off to land right in front of them. At the same time Nala had just walked out from the den and towards the group of cubs who were just looking at Will who is still stretching.
" come on kids let's go " the cubs look towards the lioness and with that Kion was the first to set off running towards the path down the slop of Pride Rock Nala just smiled at the cub then started to walk towards the path as well. Kiara, Will, Tiifu, Zuri look to each other and also set off running to catch up with Kion who was well in front so the group started their journey around the Pride Lands and first stop was Mbali Fields. The group was on the edge of Mbali Fields after walking around it meeting some of inhabitant what lived there they carried on the tour towards Big Springs. As their were leaving Mbali Fields on the path Nala notices two figures in front of them walking the opposite direction towards them as they got closer she could tell it was meerkat and a warthog and of the sound of it they were singing.
" Hakuna Matata " Timon
" What a wonderful phrase " Timon
" Hakuna Matata! " Pumbaa
" Ain't no passing craze " Pumbaa
" It means no worries for the rest of your days " Timon
" It's our problem-free philosophy " Pumbaa, Timon
" Hakuna Matata! " Timon As soon as Timon and Pumbaa got closer to the group they stop their song and greeted the Queen.
" good day to you my Queen " Timon says in chirpy manner bowing to her with Pumbaa.
" you two don't have to bow. Your family to us " Nala says as the pair bowed Nala notices something on Pumbaa's back as he was bowing.
" Pumbaa what have you got on your back " she asks as a little face pops out of Pumbaa's hair on the top of his head it was a young honey badger probably the same age as Kion.
" ow this is Bunga we decided to adopt him " Pumbaa says the duo tells her about what happened Where they found him out on the border of the Pride Land when they were looking for Utamu grubs they thought he lost his parents. They try to get rid of him but after he brought some of the most delicious grubs ever so the pair decided to keeping him until he gets old or his parents come to find him.
" that very nice of you two to adopt again. Since you did a brilliant job with Simba " Nala says. After Mufasa death and Simba ran away for believing that it was his fault for his father death so when Timon and Pumbaa found Simba in the desert and brought him into the jungle. They decided to adopt him as soon as Simba was young adult Nala found him and told him what was happening back at the Pride Lands she try to bring him back home to take back his home from Scar ( you know the rest of what happens from the Lion king movie) as soon as he took his place as king he asked Timon and Pumbaa if they would stay in the Pride Land the pair said yes. So Simba found a place for them to call home it had a water fall in jungle type area and as many bugs and grubs just like the one the three live in. So the dynamic duo called it Hakuna Matata Falls. (so now back to the story) Bunga jumps down from Pumbaa and looks at the Group.
" Bunga I would like you meet Queen Nala, Princess Kiara, Prince Will, Prince Kion and theirs are Kiara's friends Tiifu and Zuri " Timon points to each one. The group say hello to the young honey badger Kion walks up to him.
" hi Bunga. I am Kion " he says in a squeaky voice. The pair start taking to each Kion could tell the honey badger was very energetic and full of fun. As Nala was chatting with Timon and Pumbaa about how they've been and the other cubs were also having their on conversation except for Will who was pretended to listen to the girls some wings could be heard in the sky and feint sound of shouting.
" Nala " " Nala " she looked up to see Zazu flying towards her.
" here Zazu " she calls to him. He see the group and lands right in front of her.
" sorry for the intrusion my Queen " Zazu bows his head.
" I need to speak to you " Zazu asks.
" it's ok Zazu what the matter " curious to know what he wanted.
" The King would like to speak to you immediately " she thought something bad had happened. She looks to the kids.
" sorry kids but we have to go back home now " she says in a quick manner and turned around the way they came but Kion didn't want to go he wanted to go for the walk around that he was promised.
" mum can't I go walk around " he ask using his puppy eyes to persuade her to let him go.
" it's out of the question your far to young to be by yourself " turning around to answer him. Then Will had a thought.
" mum can't I and Kiara and girls look after Kion since your going " he asked looking to her and Kiara.
" I don't mind looking after Kion with Will and the girls " Kiara adding to the conversation Nala looks to the cubs who are begging.
" fine I'm ok with it but only if Zazu goes with you. But you have to be back home just after sunset " the cubs look to each other and nod.
" yes! " Kion shouts being excited.
" please can I go as well " Bunga looks to Timon and Pumbaa.
" I didn't see why not only if Will and Kiara will take you " the Royal sibling smile and nod. Bunga jumps up and down and shouts.
" Zuka Zama " and with that Nala starts heading back to Pride Rock. Timon and Pumbaa walk off to find some grubs leaving the cubs to wondered around the Pride Lands with no adults only Zazu who doesn't know to he has signed up for.
Hour later the group finally arrived at Big Springs to a bunch of animals surrounding the large watering hole there were Zebras, antelopes, giraffes, and in the water itself where a pod of hippos. Big Springs was a fairy a large source water for the Pride Lands, the water itself was very clear if you stud at the side of it you could see all the way to the bottom you could also see many fish swimming around it, many rocks surrounding the side of the water and with a few rock dipping into the water like a slide, it was home to hippos but they did allow other animals to enjoy and gather their to have a chat. Kion was walking in the middle of Will and Bunga with Kiara walking behind them with her friends chatting. Kion was looking at all the animals what were gathered around. Some of the animals greeted the Princess and two Prince as they arrived bowing their heads to them Kion looked to Will.
" can I go and play with Bunga by the water " Will looks to him and nods so Kion and Bunga walks up to side of water to have a drink and play while Will, Kiara and other two cubs Tiifu and Zuri also grabbed a drink then walked towards a flat rock at the side of the watering hole to lay down and supervise Kion. Will and three girls were chatting to each other and also make sure that they were supervising Kion while Zazu thought he would go and have a chat with some of the other animals what were around ( meaning being nosy ) after Kion had a drink he what to get to know Bunga bit more by the water he sat on his hide legs.
" so how long have you be staying my uncle Timon and Pumbaa " he asks
" I think about week " he answers Kion nods and the pair carried on talking about each about other and what they like do for a bit then Kion stops and looks to Bunga.
" so do you to play a game of tag " Kion asks. Bunga looks to him with a smile in agreement so he has a idea he starts shifting closer to him while Kion was looking towards his brother and sister who are still chatting to Kiara's friends.
" tag your it " he tags Kion's left shoulder and runs away from him. Kion quickly turns his head towards the badger who is running away.
" hay you cheated " he yells and starts running after him. Bunga laughs as runs from him but soon enough Kion catches up with him and as he lunged for him he tapped his back.
" ha your it now Bunga " he laughs. Now it was his turn to run away from him. They carry on playing tag for about 20 minutes chasing each other up and down the watering hole. At this point Bunga was running away from Kion who was close behind the honey badger was running towards a tree and starts to climb up it Kion in one last attempt try's to jump on him but just misses leg.
" hay get down here " as he try to climb the tree but just get up a few feet off the ground. Bunga who is on a branch laughing at the lion who is trying to get him.
" come Kion you nearly got " snickering at him. After a few second Bunga decided to come back down and jumps to another branch then dose a back flip in the air and onto a rock in the middle of the watering hole. Kion run to edge of the water shouting he looks to the badge who is now dancing on his rock laughing at the lion but suddenly the rock starts to move Bunga wobbles and fall into the water he resurfaces from the water wipes his face of water and is face to face with a small Hippo.
" hay there " the hippo says in friendly voice.
" Hay " Bunga says in a chipper manner and waves his hand towards the hippo.
" and sorry for landing on your back " Bunga says.
" it's ok " the hippo accepted Bunga's apology.
" ow Ye the name is Bunga and that's Kion over their " he points to the lion who is still stud at the side of the shore.
" hi " Kion says greeting the hippo.
" pleasure to meet you two my name is Beshte " with a cheerful manner. Bunga climbs out of the water and shacks his body to get him dry but as he was doing this he stud next Kion who was now drenched in water.
" hay Bunga " Kion looks to Bunga a bit annoyed. Bunga looks to him and falls on his back then starts laughing at him as water is dripping off him.
" ow you think it's funny " Kion looks to him with a grin he looks to Beshte.
" Beshte do you mind doing me a favour " Kion points to the honey badger with a evil grin Beshte nods he gets the idea and get closer to them as he does Kion slowly moves away from Bunga. Then as Beshte got closer enough to Bunga he used his head and created a big wave of water what hits the honey badger and drenches him he looks to Beshte who is laughing then looks to Kion who's on his back also laughing.
" very funny you two " he says as he walks towards the water then using his hand a creates his own wave of water but not a big as Beshte but it was big enough to soak Kion who looks to him.
" ow it's on " he run straight at Bunga grabbing of hold him and the pair fall into water. Both resurfaces soon after look to each other and starts laughing and giggling then they start splash each other of a moments before the pair stop to look at the hippo who was laughing at the side of them so Kion looks to Bunga and nudges his head towards the hippo which he nods his head in agreement. So the pair both splash Beshte at the same time and starts giggling again Beshte looks to them with a smile then splash the duo and also start giggling again so the three of them carry on splash each other.
Back at Pride Rock
Nala had just arrived at the top of the path at Pride Rock and looks around to see if Simba was outside the den but he wasn't only a few lioness just enjoy the sun chatting to each other but she noticed that there were two lioness guarding on each side of the dens entrance that was peculiar but she didn't think anything of it. She was still wondering why Simba had asks her to back immediately since he was not outside she presumed he was inside the den so she walks inside to see if he was in here. When she stepped inside the den she sore a few lioness taking in the corners but the one thing that caught her eye was near the entrance of the Royal Chambers where her mother, her mother in-laws, Simba and Rafiki all in a huddle around what she could tell was her father on the floor. She walked up to them to see what was going on as she got closer she could see that Rafiki was applying some sap to some leafs then put them on Ni.
" dad what happened to you " she asks concerned looking to the cuts on his back and legs some were deep.
" someone attacked me on patrol. A lioness but I'm fine " he said. Nala starts rubbing her head with his then backs away.
" who! " she said with anger.
" was it Zira or one of her lioness " saying this in more anger.
" i don't believe it was Zira or any of her Pride. It was no one that I recognise. She had dark grey fur and white underbelly but before she attack me she asks if we had any young cubs in the pride " he says in a bit of pain. Everyone looks to each other wondering who this new lioness could be and why she was asking about cubs.
" did you say we had any dad " Nala asks concerned for her cubs and the other cubs of the pride.
" of course not. I just told her to leave so she did but she came back and surprise me when I was on the way back home. Luck for me that Simba was coming to take over on patrol and help me fight her off and chase her away " he said. Nala looks to her mate giving him a quick nuzzle and whispers.
" thank you "
" it's ok dear " he whispers back and her a lick on her muzzle.
" Simba I think we should put on a few more patrols on but in pairs " Sarabi says looking to her son which he nods in agreement.
" Ni where exactly were you when you got attack " Nala asks.
" near the border of the bad lands " and with that Simba calls up two lioness and sends them out on patrol to make sure who ever it was doesn't come back a few minutes later Rafiki finished tending to his wounds.
" thank you Rafiki as always " Sarafina says and sits down with her mate.
" it always my pleasure " he said put his hand on his chest with a little bow and gathers his blows and remedies then walks back in to Royal Chambers to carry on with his paintings. Simba and Nala stayed with their parents to discuss what should be done with rogue lioness and why she what'd to know if their were cubs here?. Back with the cubs at Big Springs after a few hours of playing in the watering hole Kion had decided to asks Bunga and Beshte if they wanted to see the rest of the Pride Lands with him and they agreed so the three of thee got out and Kion and Bunga shook themselves dry and wondered over to Kiara who was playing by the shoreline at the other side of the watering hole with her and Kion's brother.
" you'll never win big sis " Will said as he try's to push her into the water. Kion with Beshte and Bunga got closer and just stud their watching Will and Kiara playing trying to get one or the other into the water. Kaira struggles to get him in she try's tripping him up but it wasn't working Kion just smiles at his siblings moments later Will got a close to the shoreline as he could with out falling in.
" hahaha you can't get me " Will start taunting her try to trick her to come closer. But she smiles knowing what he was up to so she walks up to him circling back and forth until she took her chance and pretended to lunge towards him so that he would move to the side but soon as he did that Kiara push him into the water. Will resurfaced from the water to face everyone laughing he looks to Kiara.
" ok well done " he says accepting she beat him Kiara stops laughing to help him out but Will grabs hold of her and pulls her in. She resurface to look at her brother laughing she splash him the pair stop to look to the shoreline to see Kion laughing at them so Kiara and Will splash him so he wet again. After Will and Kiara climb out of the watering hole and shook themselves dry Kion walked up to them and give a nuzzle.
" can we continue with the tour around the Pride Lands " he asks which two cubs agree. So Kiara grabbed Tiifu and Zuri from the rock that they were on and Will tells Zazu what their doing so he could supervises the the cubs and a new addition Beshte who asked his dad if he could go with them which he allowed so the group continued their journey and next stop was Ukuni Woods.
