Welcome to my newest TLK fic! This is my take if Kopa had been alive during The Lion King 2.

The sun rose, gleaming and welcoming the Pridelands' newest member. Rafiki held the golden cub high for all to see as a familiar wind blew his fur along with the king Simba and Queen Nala.

Soon, Rafiki brought the cub to his chest and placed a mark above her head and smiled as her parents nuzzled her.

Not far away, Simba's uncles Timon and Pumbaa were watching proudly.

"Ah, Pumbaa, look at him. A chip off the old block!" Timon said, smiling. "And you know who's gonna raise him?"

"His parents?" Pumbaa asked.

"Well, sure but who's gonna teach him the important stuff? Like how to belch? I'm tellimg ya, pal, it's gonna be like old times! You, me and the little guy!"

"Actually, it's a girl."

The two turned to see their nephew, Kopa walking up.

"Girl!" Realization hit the two. "A GIRL?!"

Kopa laughed as they fainted dramatically before glancing at his parents and his new sister and smiled.

The sun showed brightly early one morning and a now older Kopa groaned as he brought a paw over his eyes. Suddenly, he felt someone grabbing his ear.

"Kopa! Wake up!"

"Get off!" Kopa groaned.

Kiara jumpes off his back tugged at the newly grown mane fur along his neck. Kopa swatted her off and stood.

"The sun is barely up!" He said.

"Early bird gets the worm!" Kiara cried as she raced out of the cave.

Kopa rolled his eyes. He loved his sister, but sometimes, she could be a major thorn in his side. Stretching, he walked outside to see Kiara speaking with their parents.

"You could easily get hurt-"

"-hurt or stepped on of even get lost! I know!" Kiara said, finishing for her father. "And if I see any strangers, don't talk to them, come straight home."

Kopa felt a nudged to his shoulder as his mother smiled and the two walked out together.

"Mind your father, Kiara." Nala said, smiling.

"Yeah, squirt, don't want an elephant squishing your tail." Kopa put in.

Kiara stuck her tongue out at her brother and Kopa returned the gesture.

"All right, you two." Simba warned. "Just be careful, and stay away from the outlands."

"Nothing there but a bunch of backstabbing, murderous outsiders." Zazu put in as he came to land on Kopa's shoulder.

"Zazu's right. You can't turn your back on them." Simba said.

"How come?" Kiara asked.

Simba sighed. "Never mind. Just run along, you two." He said.

"Dad..."

"Go on." Simba smiled.

"Come on, Kopa!" Kiara said.

Kopa sighed as he followed after his sister.

As they were walking, a butterfly flew past Kiara and the younger cub laughed as she chased after it. Kopa sighed as he followed. Soon he began to realize that they were getting closer to the Outlands.

"Hey, Kiara, let's go another way." He called ahead.

"No way! I've almost caught the prey!" Kiara cried as she chased after the butterfly.

"Kiara-"

"Come on, Kopa!"

Soon they came to a large rock and Kiara leapt on top of it. "Whoa!" She cried.

The older lion frowned as he walked up beside her.

"What is that?" Kiara asked.

"The Outlands." Kopa answered.

"Why can't we go there?" Kiara asked.

"Dad said it's dangerous." The golden lion said. Born with his mother's sense, Kopa attempted to turn his sister's attention elsewhere. "Let's go to the waterhole. What do you say, Kiara? Kiara?" Kopa whirled around to see that he was alone. "Kiara!"

Knowing full well where she had gone, Kopa turned tail and raced back to Pride Rock, knowing if something were to happen, he wouldn't be able to save his sister by himself.

And that's the first chapter of my new TLK fic, I hope you guys liked it! Longer chapters to come and don't worry, I'm still working on All Our Own.
