[Closed] Trials in the Pridelands

[Songo]

Nala watched the whole scene and looked to Simba, " Can I come too?" she asked stepping up towards him. Her blue eyes looked to Nuka and she shook her head before stepping beside Simba. "We all know you need more protection." she said with a sly smirk.

Sarafina looked to Nala, " Nala, be careful." she warned. She didn't like the thought of her going towards the elephant graveyard. She knew Simba would protect her, but still she sighed. "Be careful." she said to them before following the lionesses and Mufasa. She still worried about them as if they were cubs once more.

Nuka went to the Elephant Graveyard in silence, trying to remember. A few days ago, when he visited his parents, they told him that if he failed, they had a plan. They told him nothing except that it involved hyenas.

It was over. Nuka was back in the Elephant Graveyard. As they walked back to Pride Rock, Simba looked at Nala. "Nala, I have to tell you something important. I've fallen in love with you," he said.

[Songo]

Nala walked beside Simba slowly and when he spoke her blue eyes blinked a few times at his words. "Your inlove with me?" she spoke softly. She thought for a moment and red flushed through her tan furry cheeks. Nala smirked and moved in towards Simba and nuzzeled him softly, a purr rising from her. "Im glad I'm not the only one that feels like that." she said answering him back. She reclined back and looked to Simba and Pride rock, "Do we tell everyone?" she asked.

[KingKovu44]

"Well, we are betrothed. I'm sure it would make everyone happy to know that we truly love each other," Simba replied. He was so happy that she felt the same way. Now it was time to tell the others.

[Songo]

Nala followed Simba up the rocky pathway towards the lion's dens, "Just because we were betrothed doesn't mean I HAVE to like you." Nala said playfully. She moved past Simba and pulled herself up the rocky ledge towards the lion's dens. "Mom..mom.." Nala said into the cave loudly. She woke up some of the other lionesses that were taking a cat nap.

Sarafina's ears perked as she heard Nala's voice, relieved they had made it back home. "Im coming Nala..what is it? Are you okay?" she asked her daughter. Sarafina eyed Nala and then eyed Simba, she could tell by Nala's smile something was going on.

[KingKovu44]

"Well, Sarafina, I have something to tell you. I'm in love with your daughter," Simba said proudly. For a brief moment, he thought about how he and Nala had reacted when Zazu had told them they would be married one day. It made him laugh inside.

[Songo]

Sarafina smiled towards Simba, "Well congradulations young Prince. You picked a beauty, I must say." Sarafina spoke softly. She stepped up to Nala and nuzzeled her daughter, "Your growing up my little one." she whispered. Sarafina stepped back and nodded to the both of them, "Im sure Mufasa and Sarabi will be pleased aswell." she said ushering the young lions to tell the King.


Nala nuzzeled her mother back "Promise i'll make you proud mama." she added. Nala nuzzeled Simba and nudged him towards the den, "You go first..." she whispered. Even though she grew up around the King and Queen it always made her nervous to stand in their presence. The tan lioness followed closely behind Simba, awaiting his next move.

[KingKovu44]

Simba approached his parents, sister and fellow pride members. "Everyone, I have an announcement. As of today, Nala and I are in love," he stated. He then awaited a response from Mufasa, Sarabi and Vitani.

[KingKovu44]

Simba was overjoyed at the positive response from his family and fellow pride members. He turned to Nala and smiled. "I guess that means we're officially a couple," he said proudly.
