Nala

I was just about to go for the kill and eat the warthog, until a male lion much larger than me appeared from behind the tree root that the warthog was stuck in.

We fought each other with our teeth and claws bared, and hissing at each other.
He was much larger and stronger so I decided that needed to pin him down, and fast.
The lion pounced on me ready to pin me down, and I let him so that I could switch us around and pin him down instead.
It worked! I successfully pinned the male lion down.
I was still baring my teeth, although the lion, however just seemed to be very surprised and no longer threatening.

He had golden fur and a large red mane. He was very handsome indeed. His red eyes looked up at me, and his pink nose was very close to my own. He reminded me of someone, but I just couldn't quite figure it out.

"Nala?" Asked the lion who seemed to look harmless now.

How does he know my name? I stopped baring my teeth then immediately backed off and then examined him.

"Is it really you?" He asked while smiling.

"Who are you?" I ask still feeling very confused about how this lion knows who I am.

"It's me... Simba." He answered.

"Simba?" I paused in realization.

"Whoah!!!" I shout, not only extremely excited to find out that my childhood best friend, and the only lion I had ever had a crush on is actually alive! But he's also become so handsome and large.

We enthusiastically greeted one another by running over to each other and head bud playfully.

"Well how did you.. where did you come from ... it's great to see you...Aaaah! how did you... who... wow... this is cool... it's great to see you..." We were both saying to each other asking a bunch of questions.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Simba.

"What do you mean, what am I doing here? What are you doing here?"

"HEY!! WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE?!?"

I look down to see a tiny little meerkat with a big voice standing in between both of us lions.

"Timon, this is Nala, she's my best friend!" Says Simba to the meerkat named Timon.

My heart jumped when he said that he still thought of me as his best friend, and it made me smile.

The meerkat looked thoroughly confused. "Friend?!?"

"Yeah. Hey, Pumbaa! Come over here." Simba calls for the warthog, Pumbaa who gets himself unstuck from the tree root. I suddenly feel bad for trying to eat Simba's friend, but I was hungry and I'm sure he will understand.

"Nala, this is Pumbaa. Pumbaa, Nala." Simba introduces.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance." Pumbaa says greeting me.

"The pleasure's all mine." I answer.

"How do you do..." Says the meerkat Timon. "Whoa! Whoa. Time out.. Let me get this straight. You know her. She knows you. But she wants to eat him. And, everybody's... okay with this?  DID I MISS SOMETHING?!?" Yells Timon while hyperventilating.

"Relax, Timon." Simba tells him.

"Wait 'til everybody finds out you've been here all this time." I say.
