"You can't go play, AGAIN?"
"I'm sorry, Kion. I wish you could join me-"
"Yeah, you wish!" Zuri interrupted. "Kiara and Uncle Simba are meeting the Hippo herd!"
"I already know a hippo. I could come and-"
"But this hippo is different, right Kiara? It's special!" Tiifu asked the golden lioness with excitement in her eyes.
Kiara didn't know what to say. She wasn't sure why that meeting was so interesting. It wasn't as special as when she met Kovu either way...
"Oh, I get it now. Daddy is making friends for my sister, isn't it?"
... what?
A smirk grew on Kion's muzzle. "Of course. Daddy has seen how I do have friends from the other herds while Kiara hasn't. And since she is the Princess, she needs to be 'friends' with the kingdom or else she will be a bad Queen!"
Friends. She didnt have any friends... except for...
"SHUT UP, KION!"
"Yeah, Kiara doesn't need help making friends, look at us!"
"You are family, you don't count."
...and her dad had forbidden her to meet the only friend she actually made...
"Look at her: she isn't smart like Rafiki and everyone loves him! Nor brave nor strong like mom and dad! She needs help!"
...were she and Kovu actually friends?
"STOP BEING A MEANY!" Tiifu hissed.
"LEAVE US ALONE!" Zuri yelled, unsheating her claws.
Kion just turned his back against the other cubs. "Yeah, yeah, I'm going to leaveΒ and play with my no-special FRIENDS! Good luck with the meeting, Princess Kiara!"
Kiara left a shaky breath. Her brother was right.

Ever wondered what that line of "Love Will Find a Way" in which Kiara says that she isnt brave, nor strong nor smart actually meant. Who told her that. I never thought it was Simba because it would have been super cruel.
But about someone as close like a sibling?
