Simba from the cave shouts to Kiara, "Kiara!"

Kiara turns=ed her head twords the direction her fathers voice came from. "Coming!" She turned back to Kovu. "All right--impress me. We start at dawn." Kiara walked back to the cavern.


Kovu continued speaking to himself. He chuckled. "I look forward to it."

MEANWHILE

The camera pulls back to where Nuka and Zira sit watching from a nearby hill.

"Oh... oh... d-d-did you see that?! He let her go! If that were me--" Nuka then got interupted

"Hush. The fire-rescue worked perfectly, and Simba fell for it. Now, the closer Kovu gets to the daughter, the closer he gets to Simba! And once he has Simba alone... rraaagh!" she emphasizes her point by swatting a young tree from its trunk.Simba is dreaming of the moment when his father died. He is at the top of the ledge, reaching down for imba! Simba! Help me!


"Father!" Simba yellsScar is above Simba, laughing on the rocks against the moonlight.


"Dad... just... a little... farther..." Scar latches on to Simba's upper foreleg with his claws.

"Gotcha! ...Trust me." Scar says to simba


"Simba!" Mufasa slides down and into the gorge.


"Noooo!" Simba turns on Scar, above him; Scar, laughing, slowly morphs into
Kovu.

"Kovu...?" Simba says surprised

Kovu suddenly lets go, throwing Simba down after Mufasa. He is still
laughing. At the moment of impact, he wakes, panting. He looks around
in fright, calms himself, and goes back to sleep next to Nala.

The next morning. Simba stretches, and then descends to the valley
floor, where he walks slowly toward the water hole. Kovu is above him,
hiding behind a rock; his teeth and claws are bared, ready to strike.
Suddenly, Kiara jumps in front of him, from around the front of the
rock.

"G'morning!" Kiara said, streathing as she came out of the cavern. "I'm ready for my first lesson."

Kovu was stunned; he took several moments to disguise his previous mindset and intentions.

Kiara was jumping around on her pawtips, very frisky. "Surprised ya, huh?"

Kovu looked back toward the water hole; Simba was gone.

Kiara laughed. "Hey, c'mon. Let's go!"

Kovu was still dumbstruck. After one last glance after his lost opportunity, he turned and followed Kiara.

LATER

Kovu was attempting to teach stealth to Kiara. We hear her saying "Ow" in the underbrush a few times; Kovu is smiling bemusedly to himself.

Kovu layed close to the ground. "Three... two..." He rolled his eys. "one... " He udcked.

"Gotcha!" Kiara yelped.

Kiara leaps full over Kovu's evasion, and tumbles over on the ground. Kovu steps over to her head, looking down at her.

Kiara was slightly inbarressed. "You could hear me... huh?"

"Only... a lot. You're still breathing too hard. Relax... feel the earth under your paws... so it doesn't shift and make noise."

Kiara follows his example. A flock of birds interrupts them, alighting beyond a nearby hill}

"Ssshh. Watch the master... and learn. "

Kovu runs silently down into a gully, then up the other side. Leaping over the ridgetop, he pounces with claws fully extended right down on top of Timon, who is foraging for bugs there.

"Aaaahhhh!" Timon screams as Kovu stops right in front Don't eat me! Please! I... I... I never really met your tyrant. I mean,
uh-- Scar. Scar. Oh, heck of a guy. A little moody, but, I..."

"Timon! What are you doing here?" Kiara said, running up beside Kovu.

"Kiara! Thank goodness! Ohh! Hey... for once, we're not following ya. This just happens to be the best smorgasbord in the Pride Lands. Bugs everywhere!" he indicates the field of bugs, with the flock of birds eating contentedly away "But, you don't call for a reservation, and-- yeesh!" turning toward the birds "Get outta here, ya scavengers. Go on!
"Shoo! Shoo!" Timon tries to scare away the birds; he waves his arms at one unconcerned bird, who bites Timon's nose in pain, nose glowing red "Oh!... oh!... oh." Pumbaa rushes down the hill, and back up, scattering birds, who come back to land right where they were. Kiara watches with amusement, Kovu with bewilderment. Camera switches back to Pumbaa, who is standing with a dozen or so birds sitting on his back. "Ohh... Timon, I'm getting tired. I gotta lose some pounds!" trying to scare the birds off Pumbaa "Shoo! Go on! Shoo! Shoo!" Kiara and Kovu trot back down the hill, Kiara laughing."Hey! Maybe he can help. Ya think?" "Shoo!" he manages to scare the last bird off Pumbaa's tail "Oh! Yeah... there's an idea. Right. Let the vicious Outsider-- Hey! Wait! I have an idea!" he jumps down off of Pumbaa "What if he helps?" "What?"to Kovu "You wanna lend a voice? Huh?" not getting through to him
"Grrr. Guh... Roar! Work with me!"

Kiara smiled. Like this. She roars, scattering the birds.

"Wooo hoo! C'mon, do it again! Do it again!" Timon shouted

Kovu roars this time, sending the birds into a rout.

"Yee-haa!" Timon shouted, he was having a great time

Kiara and Kovu run down the hill, sending birds flying in every direction. Kovu is still clueless.

"Why are we doing this? What's the point of this training?" Kovu asked.

Kiara laughed. "Training? This is just for fun!"

Kovu looked as if he never had heard that word before. "Fun?"

Timon and Pumbaa run by; Timon is hanging on to a bird's leg, getting carried up into the air "Ya gotta get out more often. Fun! Yeee-haa! Ha ha ha ha... Woooo-hoo!"

Kovu slowly got the idea. "Yeee-haa! Yeee-haaa!"

The group runs down between a row of rocks; it is blocked at the end by a number of rhinos.

"That's it, Pumbaa! Oh, boy!" Timon says
