The Lion King: Past Events

Aunt

*Simba's POV*

I lead aunty Athena behind Pride Rock where me and my friends often hang out. It's either there or the waterhole. I see Malka and Chumvi wrestling, Tama and Nala gossiping, Tojo playing with his blue birds, and Kula eating last night's left over dinner.

"Hey guys, I brought someone that I would like for you to meet!" I say smiling.

The six cubs stop what they were doing and gave us their full attention.

"This is Athena, my aunty!"

Aunty Athena smiles, "Hello everyone! Your all so darn cute."

"Hi!" They greet back in unison.

I walk up and tackle Nala down, "This is Nala. The one I told you who's my best friend!"

Nala laughs. She push me off and paw at my face.

"Wow, pretty just like her mother!" Aunty Athena commented.

Nala blushes, "Thank you, miss!"

Chumvi walks up to aunty Athena. "Excuse me, my name is Chumvi. Where are you from?

"I'm from here little one. Nice to meet you!"

Tama looks confused, "Then how come we've never saw you here before?"

Aunty Athena chuckles, "That's because I had ran away. I'm back now and here to stay forever. What is your name?"

"Tama!"

Malka, the oldest cub walks forward and stands beside Chumvi. "If your Simba's aunt wouldn't that make you a-"

"Princess? Yes! And what is your name handsome smart fellow?"

"Malka!"

I climb on aunty Athena's back and smile. "My friends are cool! The other two in the back is Tojo and Kula. Kula doesn't like to be disturb when she's eating. Tojo is speaking to his birds. Tojo and I are the youngest of the group. Malka is the oldest, Tama the second oldest. Nala, Chumvi, and Kula are all the same exact age."

Aunty Athena nods, "Ah, I see."

"Me, Kula, and Tojo aren't from the Pride Lands. We just visit and play whenever our parents come to speak to Simba's parents!" Said Chumvi.

Tama smiles, "Wow, I wish I was a Princess!"

"Your all Princesses and Princes in my eyes." Aunty Athena smiles sitting.

"Really?" Nala asks.

"Yes! All you guys have to do is believe."

"Believe huh? I'll try to remember that!" Said Malka.

Tojo finally comes forward with his blue birds flying above his head. "I'll never become a Prince. Lions see me as a scary cat!"

"Why so little one?" Aunty Athena asks.

"Because, I can't overcome my fears and I'm useless to fighting."

Chumvi sneaks up behind Tojo then yells, "BOO!!"

"AHH!!" Tojo screams. He jump up then crouch down covering his eyes with his paws.

Everyone laughed except for me and aunty Athena.

"It's not funny!" I frown at them.

I slide down from aunty Athena's back and walk to Tojo hugging him. "It's okay Tojo, that was just Chumvi."

Tojo move his paws from off his eyes. "R-Really? Are you sure it wasn't a monster, Simba??"

"There's no such thing as a monster, Tojo."

"Uh huh, Malka and Chumvi said so! They say monsters will come while your sleeping and try to kill you."

Aunty Athena shook her head, "Monsters are no such thing Tojo. Malka and Chumvi are only saying that to scare you. That is very wrong of them to do so. Don't ever be afraid okay?"

Tojo sat up with a half smile. "Okay."

Chumvi roll his eyes.

"Baby.." Malka mumbled.

"Man, last night's zebra was so good. I want more!" Said Kula.

Tama shook her head, "Kula, you just ate a whole thigh and now you want more?"

Nala laughed.

"I don't blame her, Zebra is pretty good. In fact, it's one of my favorites!" Aunty Athena said.

"Mines too! Zebra, wildebeests, gazelle, hippo, antelope, and much more. I can continue if you want?" Kula said, walking up and sat next to Tojo.

Aunty Athena laughs while I roll my eyes. All Kula thinks about is food.

"Cubs, breakfast!" A voice call.

"Oh boy!" Kula smile wide.

Kula was the first to leave then Malka, Chumvi, Nala, Tama, and Tojo. Aunty Athena and I are the last to follow.
**********
"So darn good!" Kula said, with her mouth full of buffalo meat.

The whole pride is eating breakfast including aunty Athena. She's eating with the adults. Her, my mommy, and Nala's mommy are talking.

"Your aunt must know my mommy." Said Nala, licking the buffalo's blood from off her lips.

I nod, "Yeah, I think they all grow up together as best friends."

"Cool!"

Nala smiled. We both went back to eating until our bellies could no longer take any more. Kula of course kept eating. Everyone else laid down letting their food inside digest. I close my eyes falling into a quiet long nap.

Meeting my aunt was the best thing ever...
