It was a warm summer morning in the plains of Africa. The rainy season had come again and lands were green and full of life. It was early, with little to no one up and about. Except for one animal. A lioness to be precise. She was on the move, but seemed in no hurry. She travelled calmly along the grasses until she came across a watering hole. She was alone there too, but it was fine. She let out a yawn before kneeling down to take a drink.

The morning light revealed her reflection. It showed her bright blue eyes and rustic red pelt. However there was a streak of white that down and around her left ear. And there were small spots going along her nose. Her underside was lightly tanned, and even though the water did not show it, the fur at the end of her tail matched her underside. She stared at herself before making a goofy face and giggling to herself.

"This place seems nice, I hope the pride that lives here doesn't think I'm dangerous" she said before looking around in a worried manner. Her ears fell flat against her head. She didn't want to make trouble with anyone, she was just trying to find a place of her own.

Suddenly the familiar scent of zebra wafted through her nose. Her stomach growled loudly. She was hungry and hadn't eaten for days, so why not fix the problem? She followed the scent of her future prey. The lioness walked cautiously until she found herself hidden in some tall grass. She quietly peered through and saw a zebra lying down, all alone. What luck! She dug her claws into the dirt and shifted her shoulders, but before she pounced, she heard a soft whinny.

Curiosity stopped her from pouncing and made her look again. And much to her surprise, a baby zebra stepped out from in front of its mother. It wobbled a little. Perhaps it had been born earlier. Soon the mother was up too. The lioness sighed before taking a step back. She couldn't attack them. Even if she was really hungry. She just didn't have it in her. Families needed to be together.

"Oh well, guess I'll find food somewhere else" she thought before back tracking and going a different direction. Unbeknownst to her, a bird had been following her and witnessed what she had done. The bird was a hornbill, with blue and black feathers with a white underbelly.

"Hmm, not good, I must tell her majesty!" the bird said before taking flight and flying in the lioness's direction. However, it kept flying. And after a few minutes it came across a giant rock. However it was split in two. One stood while the other had fallen half way down, only to be caught by another rock. It created a ledge, and had a few trees growing behind it. The bird quickly flew until it was at the edge of the fallen part of the rock. But, sitting there regally, surveying the land was another lioness. However, her fur was a platinum color. And she had ice blue eyes. However she had a tuft of fur on her forehead. The bird landed and bowed in respect.

"Good morning your majesty, taking in the view this morning?" the bird asked. The lioness looked down and smiled.

"Good morning Zazu, yes I am, it is nice to have some peace before the day starts" she said before sighing peacefully. She loved this land, it had been ruled by generations of royalty, and it was currently her time.

"So, I assume you have the morning report?" she asked politely. Her tail folded around her paws. Zazu nodded,

"Of course, all seems to be in order" Zazu started, the platinum lioness nodded in approval.

"However, there seems to be an intruder in the Pridelands" Zazu said. The lioness hummed in thought. She was not expecting a visitor. So who would be here?

"Is he dangerous, or does he look like he may cause problems?" she asked. The bird shook his head,

"No my lady, but he is actually a she, I somehow get the feeling that she is just passing through, but you never know. She's walking right for here as we speak" Zazu said.

"Well, perhaps we should go have a chat, call for the other lionesses please, and be sure that my brother stays here, I don't want him to get hurt should things go wrong" the lioness said before sauntering down the ledge and taking off into the savannah going ahead.

When she was out of eyesight, Zazu flew into the mouth of the cave. He woke everyone up and informed them of the situation as he was asked. And everyone moved quickly after their queen. But Zazu was still looking for one lion in particular, who happened to be a cub. He flew to where the cub normally slept, which was next to the queen. But found that they were not there. He gasped in horror, the cub had left again.

"Oh dear! He's gone!" he squawked before flying out of the cave and out into the savannah, he had to find that cub!

Meanwhile, the red furred lioness, was beginning to slow down. She had been walking for quite some time, but had found no other source of food that she could eat. But to keep herself going, she hummed a little song. She was getting tired, so she had to stop. Luckily, there was a tree nearby. So, she slowly trudged towards the tree. When she reached the out casting shadows she flopped down and sighed.

"If I don't eat soon, I don't know what's gonna happen" she whined. She closed her eyes and laid there. Hoping sleep would come soon, so that she could keep her remaining energy. But just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard the familiar sound of crying. She opened her eyes and sat up. Her ears swiveled trying to figure out where the sound was coming from. And apparently it was closer than she thought. A cub came limping through the grass. It was a given the small tuft of black mane on the top of his head. But this cub was a silvery grey with coal colored eyes. He didn't seem to notice the lioness.

"Hey, are you okay?" she asked. The cub gasped in fear when he looked up to see her.

"D-Don't hurt me!" he pleaded. The phrase only made her laugh.

"Oh don't worry, I would never dream of eating a cub. But you look hurt, what happened?" she asked with concern. The little cub stuck out his paw to reveal a black thorn sitting in the middle of his paw.

"I-I stepped on a thorny vine by accident" he sniffed. The blue eyes lioness gave him a pitying look.

"Ouch, I've done that before" she admitted.

"Really? When?" he asked pawing away a tear.

"Would you believe me if I said yesterday?" she asked then she made a goofy face. The cub giggled at her.

"You're funny! My name is Olaf! So do you think you can help me?" he asked hopefully.

"Nice to meet you Olaf, my name is Anna. And I would love to help you. Just hold your breath okay, it may hurt a little bit" Anna said in warning. Olaf nodded before taking a deep breath. Anna gently put her teeth on the offending thorn and pulled it out. Olaf yelped and shook his paw.

"Sorry, do you feel better?" Anna asked. Olaf put his paw down and hopped. When it didn't hurt, he started to hop around excitedly.

"Yay! The pain is gone! Thanks Anna!" Olaf said gratefully.

"I'm glad. So Olaf, I'm curious, what's a cub like you doing out by yourself?

"I was exploring!" he said, making Anna laugh.

"Well that must be fun, did you find anything cool?" Anna asked.

"I found you!" he smiled. Anna smiled affectionately at the cub. He was too cute.

"Hey wanna play?" Olaf giggled bending down onto his paws and swaying his backside. Anna rolled her eyes, her smile never leaving her face. She got up and shook the dust out of her fur.

"Alright, what do you wanna do?" Anna asked. Olaf leapt for joy before bounding forward and touching Anna's paw,

"Tag! You're it!" he cried before running away with joyful laughter. Anna giggled before she took off after him.

All the while, the queen had been searching for the scent of the foreign lioness. So far, everything seemed fine. Until she heard laughs in the distance. She snapped her head in the direction of the sound and sniffed the air, she gasped when she smelled two lions. One very unfamiliar, and the other very much so.

"Olaf?!" she cried out before charging in the scent's direction. She ran and ran, her adrenaline was pumping through her veins. She leapt over rocks and bounded over fallen trees. But she slowed down, when the smell was very strong. They were close. She found herself near one of the watering holes, and she scanned the area. Her icy eyes widened when she saw what she had been looking for. There was her brother Olaf, however, he was playing with the stranger. It must have been the lioness that Zazu had described. But as she watched them, she couldn't help but stare at the lioness. She had a beautifully colored pelt. And her blue eyes were oddly enchanting. There was a sudden stirring in her heart. What was this feeling? Her attention was brought back when the lovely foreign lioness began to speak.

"So Olaf, I probably should have asked this before, but does anyone know you're out here? It can be dangerous" she said. And that was when the queen decided to make an entrance.

"I could not agree more" she said walking out of her hiding spot. Her brother gasped in surprise and the lioness just looked at her.

"And who is this Olaf?" she asked. The queen was not one for hostility, she preferred the diplomatic approach.

"Hey Elsa! Funny seeing you out here" he chuckled nervously. But Elsa was not amused.

"Olaf" Elsa warned. Then the red lioness spoke up.

"I'm sorry, my name is Anna" the lioness introduced.

"Anna" Elsa repeated. It sounded so simple, yet it seemed to suit the beautiful stranger perfectly.

"Well Anna, I am Queen Elsa, and that little troublemaker, is my little brother Olaf" she introduced. A look of comical shock crossed Anna's face. She instantly bowed, but she hit the ground by accident in her haste.

"Ow" she muttered. Elsa chuckled at the antic.

"Please stand up, I generally use formalities when the situation calls for it" Elsa said. Olaf leapt over to Anna and pushed her back up, sort of.

"So, if you don't mind, would you care to explain why you have entered the Pridelands?" Elsa asked. Anna tilted her head in confusion.

"Pridelands?" she echoed.

"Yup, this is our kingdom! The best place in the world!" Olaf chimed. The sounds of rustling grass was all that could be heard. The breeze cooling down the impending heat.

"I was only passing through to be honest" Anna finally answered.

"Where are you going?" Olaf asked.

"Well, I'm not too sure, I don't belong to a pride, so I'm just roaming" Anna said with a shrug. Olaf's eyes suddenly sparkled. He turned to Elsa and began to bounce up and down with excitement.

"Elsa! Can she stay here? Please! Please! Please!" he begged. Elsa and Anna stared at each other for a minute. But in that stare, something sparked in both pairs of eyes. But they didn't notice. But Olaf did.

"Well, if she wants to, she can stay as long as she likes" Elsa said, finally breaking their little staring contest. Olaf whipped around and looked up at Anna hopefully.

"Oh, how can I say no to you?" Anna teased.

"Yay!" he cried out before hugging Anna's paw. But just as everything seemed to smooth over, the rest of the pride showed up. Anna's ear fell nervously against her head and she tensed up.

"Ladies, there is no need for force today, but please welcome our new friend" Elsa announced. Before calling Olaf over. She picked him up by his scruff and began to walk back. She would have to have a talk with her brother. Again. And even though Olaf knew he was going to be in trouble, he was happy. Now he had a new friend! And hopefully so would his sister.
