Chapter 8 - Near to the End

"A Simba and Nala Love Story"

As we all know what happened to King Mufasa and Prince Simba. Mufasa died from the stampede, Simba was to be believed dead. Simba was with the meerkat and the warthog duo. Scar, now, reclaimed his place as the new King of PrideLands. PrideLands slowly died, plants withered, and some of the animals, died becuase of lack of food and water. Some, ran away. During the reign of Scar, everyone suffered. The lionesses slept outside the den, hyenas slept all over the PrideRock, even Ameena and her mom, Zahra ran away to find a new pride, Zazu, locked up in a bone cage insie the den with Scar.

"Nala, auntie Sarabi, everyone, Cold and I needed to go." everyone was confused.

"What do you mean you'll go?" Nala asked as she will lose her two bestfriends.

Sarabi, understood this, as their parents was her good friend. "Let them go Nala."

"But, why auntie Sarabi?" Nala asked once more. " I'll tell you later. But it's important for them to go now, they have missions to accomplish." Sarabi said.

"Oh.. But I'll lose my bestfriends, I don't have someone to play with." Nala sobbing in her mother's paws.

"It's okay Nala, they'll come back someday. They promise that." Sarafina smiled.

Nala looked at her two friends. "You promise you'll come back?"

"We promise you Nala. We promise you all." Fire said. "Bye everyone, we really needed to go. Bye Nala, bye auntie Sarafina and auntie Sarabi." Cold smiled. "Auntie Sarabi, Cold and I are very thankful for you and uncle Mufasa. You took us in and treated like your own." Fire said dropping a tear. The two turned around to go.

"Be careful." Sarabi smiled once more. "I'll see you soon Fire, Cold!" Nala yelled. The lionesses watched as the twins go.

"Auntie Sarabi, why do they have to go?" Nala cried. "Come on I will tell you all." Sarabi sat infront of the lionesses and told the story of the twins' life. All the lionesses gasped in awe. As Sarabi finished the story, Nala realized why do they have to go. 'I wish they're okay. And I also wish Simba's fine. I believe his alive. I feel it." Nala feels the same way for Simba. Even Ameena and Zahra ran away to find a new pride. They can't take it how Scar treats them. It means, it's only her who will play by herself.

Meanwhile...

"Hey Simbs.." the meerkat greeted the young cub.

"Hey Timon." Simba answered sadly.

"Looks like you're very sad. What's wrong?"

"I just, nothing." Simba said walking out."

"Oh, come on, you can tell me." Timon said sitting. Simba turned around and sat beside Timon. "Well, you know, I miss a friend." "A friend? I thought you don't have a friend!" "I had.. I don't know where she is now. I miss her." "Ohh.. Sorry.. Is she a girl?" Timon asked feeling bad for Simba.

"Yeah... I love her." Simba said looking at the stars. "You what?" I love her." "Ohh." Timon said joining him in looking at the stars. "Y'know Timon? My dad's up there." "Up where?" "Up there. His in the stars." Timon didn't get it. He's sleepy that's why he didn't mind to ask. "Come on Simba, I'm very sleepy." Timon said yawning and headed to their bed. "You coming?" Timon said looking back. "Maybe in a bit." Simba continuously watching at the stars.

He saw a figure of a cub lioness and thought it was Nala. He looked down at his paws and murmured, "I miss you Nal, and I miss you too dad. Be well up there." he layed down and fell asleep.

*Simba's Dream*

Two cubs were playing. "Come on now Simba!" a female cub yelled. "I'm comin' for 'ya!" Simba yelled back.

They were chasing each other. "Hey, wanna play hide and seek?" the female cub asked. "Okay Nala, you're it!" "Hey no fair!" Nala yelled. But it was to late. Simba hid somewhere. She counted by the tree.

"1...2..3...4...5...6..7..8..10!" Nala yelled. She looked back and she looked for Simba. "Simba, where are you? I'm coming!"

"Simba, Nala, time for lunch!" a female lioness yelled. Simba showed up behind a bush and ran. Nala saw him and ran after him.

When they reached PrideRock, they ate, and ate like a hungry hyena.

They finished their meals. Simba was about to sneak out. He knows it's time for baths. He slowly walked outside the den. He looked back and no one saw him "Yes!" he whispered. He looked up and saw his mother. "Where do you think you're going young man?" Sarabi said picking him by the scruff of his neck.

"Mom!" Simba yelled as he is about to be given a bath. Sarabi layed down and positioned herself. She gave Simba a long, and boring bath.

"Hey Simba!" Nala said walking towrds them. "Hey Nals!" Simba greeted and tried to escape his mother's grip. "No, Simba, you're not yet done." Sarabi said cleaning every inch of his body.

"But, mom! You said it'll be fast! But it's already for about 1 hour!" Simba complained. "Here you, go." Sarabi said letting him go. "Alright!"

"Simba?" a large but kind voice said. "Dad?"

A large lion came out from the den and sat beside Sarabi. "Simba." "Anything dad?"

"Simba, I want you to meet Zazu by the wateringhole and have kingship lessons from him." "Alright!"

With that, Simba ran as fast as he could. He arrived at the wateringhole and Zazu wasn't there. 'Hmm. Maybe he was just late.' he thought.

He waited for Zazu for a few minutes. He really wanted to learn on how being a king. He fell asleep.

He hears, a voice.. Waking him up. "Simba,,Simba.. Simba...Simbaa!"

"Simba!" a voice said. ''WHAT?" He yelled as he got up. "It's already morning! Sun's up! Come on buddy!" a warthog said.

Timon jumped up on the warthog's head. "Hey buddy Pumbaa! Hey Simbs, what's up? You fell asleep here last night! What's gotten you big boy?" Timon asked concernly.

"Nothing." Simba said sadly. Thinking about his dream.

"Come on.. We gonna need a lotsa bugs!" Timon said exitedly. He and Pumbaa turned around to find some bugs.

"I miss her" he whispered and turned around to follow his friends.

We all know what happened to them. Simba had gown to a strong young lion. Same as to Nala. Scar's reign was helpless. Scar felt that he needed a queen, and a heir to his throne. He flirted with Nala. But failed. Nala ran away to find help to end his cruelty. She traveled so far. She needed to eat, but she can't see any herd. Until she found a healthy warthog. The warthog noticed her and ran. Nala followed him. Until she met Simba, her old friend. Nala forced him to go home woth her, and help her end the cruelty of the current king. But, SImba refused. He found a good place where can be free. They had their agrument which made Simba even more mad. His father showed him the right path. He's the rightful King to the throne. He thought for it. An old baboon showed up to him. They had their small talk. But the old baboon, doesn't want to make it serious. Until Simba realized Nala was right. He followed her. And with luck, his friends, Timon and Pumbaa, are willing wo help them too.

They succeeded in killing Scar, and the hyenas was driven and banished from PrideLands. Same as to Scar's followers. Zira, her cubs, and her lionesses were driven to the OutLands. A termite-infested place.

Simba and Nala continued their lost relationship. They had their son, Kopa. The future king of the PrideLands.

And soon, they had another cub, called, Kiara. The princess of the Pridelands.

Simba and Nala are a very sweet couple. Their new life had begun..

The End.
