Okay guys I'm back with yet another chapter. You guys have waited for far too long and I apologize for that. Thank you guys for being so patient. Let's get started.

Chumvi eyes slowly fluttered open. He squinted hard when sunlight beamed into the den. Deciding it was time to wake up, he hesitantly stood to his paws. He stretched his front paws out, cracking his back in the process.

He looked around the room to see Nala nowhere in sight. He shrugged, "She's probably outside or something." He said to himself.

He heard a yawn and turned around to see Kula rubbing her eye with her paw. "Good morning…" She yawned again.

"Morning" He replied.

"Have you seen Simba?" Kula asked looking around, searching for her golden companion.

"Nope, sorry." Chumvi answered.

"Oh…" Kula replied, a little disappointed.

"Well I haven't seen Nala either… Do you wanna do something?" He smiled.

Kula stood there, surprised that he'd offer to hang out. "S-sure."

Chumvi motioned with his head to the exit. Kula nodded and followed him out. The two made their way to the waterhole. Chumvi searched for Nala outside, but she was still nowhere in sight.

They sat at the water's edge and stared into the pool. Kula looked over at Chumvi and smiled deviously as an idea popped into her head. Stealthily, she dipped one of her paws into the water.

Chumvi noticed her movements and turned to her, "What are you-"

Kula suddenly whipped her paw up and splashed him with water. Chumvi spit out all the water that had entered his mouth and darted his head at her, angrily.

Kula covered her mouth with her paw, trying to hold in her laughter. Chumvi raised an eyebrow and without warning splashed her back.

"Ahh!" She laughed.

Chumvi laughed uncontrollably with her, but was silenced when she jabbed her paw in his arm.

"Tag!" She yelled, running away.

Chumvi chuckled and chased after her. He ran alongside her, ready to tag her back. But something caught his eye. For some odd reason he couldn't stop staring at her. He watched as her fur flowed perfectly as she ran. How her gentle eyes gave him a sense of confidence. And how her smile seemed to brighten the world around him. As he studied her he felt as if everything was in slow motion.

Suddenly her expression changed to one of worry. He tilted his head in confusion. He saw her paw point ahead of him. He turned his head only to crash face first into a tree. Everything went black, he couldn't keep his balance and soon collapsed to the ground.

Kula shrieked in horror and rushed over to his side. "Are you okay?" She exclaimed, scanning his body for any other injuries.

"Ow…" Is all he could say.

He opened his eyes slowly to see her staring down at him, worried. Hesitantly, he put a paw to his head, checking for a cut or a bump. Thankfully there wasn't any. He struggled to his feet and looked at her.

"I'm okay…" He groaned.

"Oh thank goodness." She sighed in relief.

He felt his head again and winced. "Ow, it still hurts."

"Maybe you should go lie down." She suggested.

"Good idea."

Kula helped him to him up and guided him down the path. Even though he could walk perfectly fine, he still appreciated her efforts to aid him.

They climbed up, just outside of the den. Suddenly Kula's eyes caught sight of something. She looked over at it and her face lit up like the sun. She smiled widely and rushed over to it, leaving Chumvi by himself.

Alright guys that's it for this chapter.
