The Next Queen


This is how it feels to be Nala, right now:


You walk from the den flanked by the other lionesses. At that moment, you see Simba waiting for you. He looks even more handsome than usual, the wind blowing his mane, the sun shining on his golden fur. He smiles at you, looking deep into your dazzling blue eyes. The wind blows your beautiful scent into his nostrils.

Rafiki arrives and the ceremony begins. You both share your vows, and then you two are declared mates. Furthermore, you are declared the second princess of the Pridelands, the one destined to be queen. The evening is spent running with and pouncing on Simba. Exhausted, you two return to the den.

The first light of dawn brings joy. You awaken to the sight of the lion you love and will always love. The sight of him sleeping happily brings you more joy than you’ve ever felt in your life. Finally, his shining brown eyes open, and he moves in to lick your cheek. No male lion could ever be more handsome, you think to yourself. The two of you then get up to begin your day.


This is how it feels to be Nala, forever
