"Well, we met briefly as cubs," Kiara began to recall, "I snuck away from Timon and Pumbaa, who were sent by dad to watch me, and went into the outlands. I quite literally bumped into him, and we soon began playing together-by evading some alligators. But when dad and his mother caught us playing, they quickly showed up, got into a fight, then they took us back to our respective homes."
She sighed, "I never saw him again for over a year. You see, when I was out on my first hunt-he was part of a plan by Zira to kill dad, but don't worry, he's changed, don't get ticked at him. I got caught in a fire that his siblings started, but then he saved me-albeit that was part of his mother's plan. But as the days went on, Kovu grew to really like me as a friend, and then we both began to feel love for each other-thank Rafiki for that. But then the Outlands pride caught dad in an ambush, and tried to kill him-Kovu's brother even died doing so. Dad thought Kovu was involved in it, even though I knew he wasn't-and exiled him."
"I was so angry at father then I felt I could never forgive him. But then I was able to sneak away from Pride Rock, and I reunited with Kovu. We considered running away, but I knew we needed to go back. Just in time too-it was an all out war. But luckily Kovu and I were able to get the prides to stop fighting and pretty much all of the Outlanders went to our side. Except for Zira-she made one last move, but I stopped her, and she began to fall down a cliff into some raging rapids. I tried to save her....really I did...but she wouldn't accept my help and dropped to her death."
"That's my story," Kiara concluded with a deep breath in.
