Simba was woken by Vitani's movement. He yawned quietly, stood up, and walked outside. He looked around to see Kovu and Vitani talking, then to Karu who was sleeping near the edge of Pride Rock. He decided to go to the top of Pride Rock, where he and his father had talked about ruling the Pride Lands. When he got up there, he laid down trying to escape all the noise that would come later when everyone else woke up. He eventually fell asleep again, and began dreaming. He dreamt of playing with Nala as cubs, then of the stampede that occurred the next day, then of how he was raised by a meerkat and warthog. Then, he dreamt of how he’d overthrown Scar, and how Zira had killed his son, Kopa. He dreamt of how he had banished them all, when he should have only banished Zira. He shouldn’t have just banished her followers; he should have made them choose. But he had let that one choose, Kivuli, he’d seemed like a nice lion. However, Kivilu never could make up his mind what he wanted to do: whether to stay with the Pridelanders, or to be banished with the Outlanders. So Simba had banished him. Simba awoke startled; he tried to forget what he had dreamt of, so he looked out across the Pridelands. It was a beautiful morning.
