^ But Kiara needs a reason to get far away from the Pridelands (to move the plot forward and to ensure she winds up where the fire trap will be set). So Timon and Pumbaa following her is kind of needed. Same with the bug argument when she is a cub. Timon and Pumbaa need to be distracted so that she can slip away and meet Kovu. And having Simba use his friends to keep an eye on his daughter brings home just how protective/overprotective of a father he is.
"Simba, let me tell you something my father told me. Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars. So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I." ~ Mufasa
