[Closed] Trials in the Pridelands

[Songo]

Sarafina shushed Shujaa out of the lion's den, "I need to prepare Nala for the ceremony." she said smiling. She gave Mheetu a quick lick on the cheek, "Go with your father." she stated simply. Sarafina pushed Mheetu's behind towards Shujaa, "Today is a special day for your sister Mheetu, one day. You will do this too." she cooed to her son.


Nala paced back and forth in the den and she looked towards her mother, "I don't know if I can do this. I feel sick." she grumbled putting her paw over her face. Nala sat down and took a deep breath looking to her mother, "This is it." she whispered.

Mheetu nuzzled Nala and his mother before running after his father to the ceremony, "Hey dad, so were waiting for Nala to come out and sit by Simba's side?" he asked curiously watching.

Sarafina stepped beside Nala and nuzzled her daughter, "breath and I picked this for you." she said softly. She lifted a small blue flower and put it behind Nala's ear. She smiled and nodded, "Your ready.." she stated simply. Sarafina stepped to the entrance of the den and looked to Mufasa nodding that Nala was going to make her walk forward.

Rafiki had arrived and was ready to perform the ceremony. The pride had assembled. It was now time. Simba was more nervous than he had ever been. It was then that the ceremony began. Simba jaw nearly dropped when he saw Nala, the blue flower tucked behind her ear. She looked so beautiful. "Wow..." he said to himself.

[Songo]

Sarafina padded forward and nodded to Simba and Mufasa and made her way to sit beside Shujaa and Mheetu, "Here we goo.." she whispered smiling.

Nala took a deep breath to herself and made her way out into the fresh afternoon air, she felt the soft breeze. She smiled big at Simba when she saw him and she felt her furry cheeks blue by the way he gazed at her. *This is it Nala, your destiny.* she thought to herself. She slowly glided past the lionesses and other animals as they cooed over her, her blue eyes looked to Simba. She stepped up beside him and sat back, presenting herself to the animals of the Pride lands, she heard soft drums and they were loud in her ears. She heard her heart beat faster and faster and she waited for Rafiki to make his way towards them.

Rafiki stepped forward. "Creatures of the Pridelands, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Prince Simba to the lovely Nala. Simba, do you take Nala to be your bride?" the mandrill asked. "I do," Simba replied. Rafiki then turned to Nala. "Nala, do you take Simba to be your husband?" he asked.

[Songo]

Nala looked to Simba and smiled, "I do." she spoke softly. She watched Rafiki use his stick and shake the nuts and leaves over there head. She sat patiently, a big grin on her face.

Sarafina's green eyes glazed over as she watched Nala wed Simba, she rested her head on Shujaa's shoulder and whispered, "Thank you. For everything.." She pulled Mheetu close to her warm body and felt the cub wiggle under her grip but he soon gave in and he watched the ceremony continue.

[KingKovu44]

"Then so be it. As of this day, Simba and Nala are mates, and Nala is a princess of de Pridelands. May their marriage be eternally blessed!" Rafiki exclaimed. The pride roared out in celebration, and the animals around them all cheered. Simba looked at his new bride. "Welcome to the royal family, Princess," he said with a smile.

[Kopalover]

Mufasa roared at Simba and Nala's happiness. One of the happiest moments in his life! Siding, His marriage, and Simba's birth. A tear flowed from Mufasa's eye. My boy is growing up. He thought, after that one tear came a lot more. "Good job, my boy!" Mufasa yelled towards Simba.

Vitani cheered for her brother and newly-found sister in law, Nala. She was sitting in-between Sarabi and Mufasa. Her blue eyes scanned the Prideland, searching through all the animals. She thought she spotted Zira. She gasped and rubbed her eyes, and when she looked again. Zira was gone.

[KingKovu44]

Simba was happier than he had ever been. He looked at Sarafina, Shujaa and Mheetu. "Well, it looks like you three have a new in-law," he said with a proud smile.

[Songo]

Sarafina smiled and stepped over to Nala and Simba, she pulled Simba into a hug with her fore paw. "Welcome." she smiled. Sarafina heard the animals roar and let out one of her own in acceptance, she looked to Mufasa and Sarabi, she nodded.


Mheetu attacked Simba and hugged his leg, "YES! Were related, thats so cool!" he yelled and ran around them smiling. He played with Simba's tail, "Simba now that your married to my sister, whats going to happen now?" he asked curiously.

Nala stood to her paws and stepped towards Mufasa, she nuzzled the large lion's big fluffy mane and she hugged Sarabi. "Thank you. Both of you." she whispered. Nala looked to Vitani, "Sister in law!" she spoke loudly and hugged Tani. After making a few small comments she ran over to Simba and pounced on him. She pinned him to the ground and smiled, "Now you can't get rid of me." she giggled letting him stand back to his paws.

[KingKovu44]

Simba only chuckled as he got up. "Nala, you and I are in a whole new world," he said. He then looked back at Mheetu. "I really don't know, little buddy. I guess just spend time together and possibly even have cubs of our own eventually," he said.
