Story:
The morning sun had yet to shine onto the lions’ den within Pride Rock. King Simba of the Pridelands awoke with a yawn. Nestled nearby, Queen Nala felt a stir along her shoulder as both of their cubs, Kiara and Kion, were beginning to wake. Simba stretched and shook his mane.
“Can you believe it? I’m up before you.” Simba turned to Nala. She opened her eyes to stare at Simba with feigned amusement.
“I woke up first anyways.” She turned and nuzzled her two cubs, now stretching together. Kiara, the eldest, leapt forward to tug at Kion’s ears until fully awake. She remembered today’s special occasion.
“Ready already? Easy on his ears, Kiara.” Nala turned to see Kiara helping her younger brother up on his feet. Both mother and daughter giggled at Kion’s hops of excitement.
“Sure am Mom.” Kion locked eyes with his father, grinning back and pretending to pounce at him with feigned snarls. Kion growled and swatted at his father’s raised paw.
“Yeah we’re ready! Why did Dad get up first? You’re supposed to be first!” Kiara looked directly above to meet her mother’s nose.
“I didn’t want to wake you up so soon. You looked so cute hugging your brother.” Nala rubbed her nose to Kiara’s and laughed at her daughter’s pouted lip. Kion began pushing his sister's legs, but Kiara remained still, all while smiling and shaking her head.
“Well, let’s get a head start. The herds are starting to graze. You wouldn’t want to miss the view.” Simba carefully stepped ahead of his cubs and led the way, also careful not to disturb the rest of the prides’ lionesses, still in slumber after a long night of hunting.
The family stepped into the clearing and witnessed the sun rise onto the lands. Both parents glanced down to see their children's’ mouths agape. For as much as Kiara played outside near Pride Rock, she was still sharing in her little brother’s awe at the emerging hills, radiating from the sun’s warm glow.
The four lions walked slowly until reaching the first of the acacia tree hills. The sunlight revealed more and more of the savannah herds, consisting of zebras, stags and wildebeests.
“Are you okay so far Kion?” Simba looked below at his son attempting to leap uphill. Nala walked next to her boy, concerned for how easily he had been slipping.
“Yeah dad. I’m great!” As he stood, Kion felt a tug before his father ran ahead, Kiara riding on his flowing mane. Kion giggled, oblivious to the danger.
“Careful Simba!” Nala cried out as father and daughter bounded ahead, laughing together.
