It was the perfect day to start with. all was calm, with no sign of anything going wrong. Nikkaniel and Kiona, Kovu and Kiara's twin cubs,  were happily playing in THE gourge, with their parents, as well as Simba,Nala, Timon,Pummba, and Zazu talking on the cliff above the twins, when all of a sudden the wildebest  began to stampede. At first no one really noticed, since they were all talking, when Nala looked over Vatani's shoulder and gasped, her face going white with terror. Instantly, everyone else looked up, almost when there was a small scream of "Mooomy!Daaaaady!" from Kiona, who had climbed up the cliff by some unknown miricle of miracles. "Sta..sta..STAMPEDE!" she panted. Instantly, Kovu looked over the horizion and said "Where's Nikkaniel?" "He..he's right... right behind.. Oh, NO! He didnt make it up!" she sobbed when she looked behind herself. Quickly, Simba and Kovu began to run down to see if they could find poor Nikki. "LOOK, Simba! there! On that tree! HOLD ON, NIKKI" Kovu shouted. "AUUGH!" Nikkaniel yelled as one antelope hit the tree with it's horns, breaking it a little. Kovu prepared to jump, but before he could, Simba leaped in a single bound, dissappearing into the wildebeast. "SIMBA!!!" they all gasped, and started look and see if they could find him.

     Simba immediatly bounded off the cliff toward his grandson. Suddenly, another wildebeast kicked him, and he was knocked down. Suddenly...****Simba gasped as his father was knocked down by the wildebeast. Quickly Mufassa got up and ran toward him once more... but then.. a wildebeast ran right through the tree, snapping it in half, and Simba screamed as he headed toward the ground...****    "There's no time for that" Simba thought as he pushed the flashback out of his mind as he got up, though, what had just run through his mind happened to Nikki! The branch snapped in two, and quickly Simba lept and caught his grandson in his mouth. Simba was running back to the cliff when "ROAR" as another wildebeast hit Simba and Nikki flew from his mouth! Simba quickly located his grandson  and picked him up once more. He placed the cub on a small ledge, and was working his way up onto the ledge himself when about four wildebeasts carried him away!

****Mufassa placed Simba on the ledge quickly, and then was carried away by the beasts, dissapearing in the dust... ****

     "Is this how Dad felt that day?" Simba whispered to himself as he frantically was trying to find his way out of the stampede. "Scared for me beyond belief?" Then, the dust cleared in one spot and Simba saw his chance and leaped onto the side of a cliff  ~~THE cliff...Simba realized with a small amount of terror and dread ~~  Pushing the horrific event out of his mind for what seemed like the umpteenth time today, he started to climb, and realized how much easier his father had made it seem. But when he heard a small cheer from the ledge where his grandson sat, he started to climb even faster... and finally he was only a few feet from the top... but his feet started to slip, and he knew if he didnt get to the top soon... it would not end well. So, making a quick descion, Simba jumped. His son-in-law quickly released his claws to try and grab Simba, but Simba slipped before Kovu could grab him, and plummeted, screaming to the ground. "NNOOOOOO!!!!" Was what he heard before he hit the ground.

  "Uhhh.." Simba said in pain as he hit the ground full force. Nearly blackening out, he found that he was in the exact spot that had held his fathers body those many years ago. As he was trying to shake the pain and dizziness away,he suddenly, he sensed terror in the air, and realized that it had to be his grandsons'. "Oh, NO!" Simba gasped wearily. "He..he saw me fall. he must think that I'm..and he's... Ohhh... I gotta get back up there." And on those words, Simba located that cliff side again and lunged with all his might, and began to climb, slower than before because he had broken his shoulder blade when he fell off the cliff. There was a shout of "YYYEEEESSSS!!!!" from Nikkaniell, and Simba smiled,  attempting to climb a little faster, but failing miserably in that attempt. In no time at all, but seeming like an eternity, Simba, once again, had reached the top of that ledge. Quickly,Kovu, Vatani and Kiara unsheathed their claws, but that was not needed as Simba jumped, and though his back feet scrambled a little, he made it up safely this time around.

   "Ohhh, Simba!" Nala said as she nuzzled him. "OOhhh.. you scared me! Don't ever do that to me again!" Simba laughed. "No need to worry about THAT , my dear." And then, Simba was surrounded by his daughter and son-in-law, and then Kiara nuzzled him, saying a soft 'thank you', just as little Nikki ran up and jumped on Simba with all his little might, knocking Simba down flat on his stomach. The little lion quickly got off his grandfather, letting him stand up, and then asked one thing: "Granpaw, why did you look so scared when the wildebeast knocked you down, and then when they carried you away, and when you jumped onto the cliff the first time?" There was silence from Simba as he looked at his grandson carefully. Then Simba sighed and, looking at Kovu and Kiara's nod, he carefully sat down, avoiding all contact with his broken shoulder, and began to tell about when he was a cub, and about Scar, and why he had seemed so horrified at the events hat had just unfolded before them.

At the end of that horrid day, Simba looked at the stars and, finally, could understand why his father had gave his life for him that day. "He did it because of love." Simba whispered, and finally, was able to truly understand that it wasn't his fault, and then Simba layed down in the grass "Hey, dad we're pals right?" "Right." "And we'll always be together, right?" "Let me tell you something my father told me... look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down at us."  Sima smiled at the memory, and was sure he heard the stars whisper something before he went to sleep: "You are my son, and i love you."  Finally, Simba drifted off, and was at peace knowing, and truly understanding, what his father had done for him.
