Pride Rock Stories

First day of school

At the Daniels' house

Over the next few years, Kiara has grown into a young teen of eleven years. Her red hair is now draped below her shoulder blades. She is now in grade 6 and Kopa is in grade 1 at Pride Rock Elementary. Nala was getting Kopa ready for his first day of school and he was nervous.

"My stomach feels funny Mom," Kopa said.

"I felt the same way on my first day of school," Nala replied.

"Will I make friends at school?" Kopa asked.

"Of course, you will, you're a nice boy," Nala said.

As Kopa and Nala were talking, Kiara looked in the room. Nala turned to face Kiara and asked what she wanted.

"May I use some of your eyeshadow?" Kiara asked.

"Of course, you may, it's on my dresser," Nala said.

"Thanks, Mom," Kiara said.

Kiara made it to her parent's room and stood at the dresser. She looked at all the colors of eyeshadow and the purple color caught her eyes the most.

"This will go perfectly with my outfit," Kiara said to herself.

As Kiara applied the eyeshadow to her eyelids, she put the eyeshadow back where it was on the dresser. She went back to her room and admired herself in her mirror. Simba walked upstairs to enter Kiara's bedroom. She was not happy that he entered without knocking.

"Ever heard of knocking?" Kiara asked.

"Kopa is nervous about school so you need to make sure he is alright when you get there," Simba said.

"Do I need to?" Kiara asked.

"Yes you do," Simba said.

"Kopa's a big boy," Kiara said.

"You didn't have the advantage of an older sibling helping you out on your first day of school," Simba replied.

"You didn't either," Kiara pointed out.

"That's not the point," Simba said.

"What is your point anyway?" Kiara asked.

"Kopa mentioned to your mother that he needs you to show him around the school," Simba said.

"What else did he mention?" Kiara asked.

"You shouldn't blurt out that Kopa still wets the bed," Simba said.

Kiara burst out laughing. Simba wasn't happy about it as a growl emerged from his throat. Kiara finally regained her composure and stood up straight. Simba noticed the eyeshadow on Kiara and got angrier.

"Take off the eyeshadow right now," Simba said.

"Mom allows me to wear eyeshadow," Kiara said.

"It doesn't matter now take it off," Simba said.

"No I won't Dad," Kiara said.
