Nah, not really, it actually makes some form of sense. I have good news: I have began work on Light on Both Ends.

 NOTE: This takes place between Like Water and Rain Seasons 1 and 2!

 The Pridelands

 I slowly woke up to the light of the sunset blasting my eyes, causing me to rub them and get up, stretching, my legs, which have started to get longer and larger because of my increasing height, emitting a cracking sound from behind me. Looking around, I noticed all of the others but my brother, Kion, were asleep.

 Who am I? Well, I am Princess Kiara, next-in-line for the throne of The Pridelands. My parents, King Simba and Queen Nala, worked together to dethrone Scar, a lion my dad told me was evil back before Kion and I were born. They told me about a time before that reign where Mufasa, my grandfather, was King, peace across the lands everywhere he went...but that was in the past.

 This is the present. Currently, The Lion Guard has began a search for a family friend, Connor Emery, or ‘Shujaa’ as the others call him. He’s something called a human who had been sent to this world by an otherworldly force and he is as of now...somewhere. To be truthful, nobody knows where he is but Zuri and my parents. I have asked them where he was, but none of them would tell me, so I am started to get worried.

 But I won’t let that get to me since my dad is going to be taking me out for his royal lessons, reasoning that, since Connor and I got along and didn’t distract me from my duties, it’s a good time to continue them. Since dad is asleep, I have little idea on what to do now.

 ‘’You miss him, don’t you?’’ I heard Zuri ask with a chuckle as she, now awake, came down to me.

 ‘’Me? Miss him?’’ I scoffed. ‘’Hardly.’’

 ‘’Oh?’’ She raised an eyebrow as she smirked. ‘’Then why do you keep asking us where he is?’’

 ‘’He’s YOUR brother, so you should keep an eye on him.’’ I huffed. Zuri and Connor had thought of each other as siblings ever since the latter came to our world and that was evident from their conversations and descriptions.

 ‘’Is it about your royal duties to keep track of everyone in The Pridelands?’’ She leaned in, looking smug. ‘’Or is it something else…?’’

 I snorted as I pushed her away with my paws. ‘’As if! I am a Princess, Zuri, I don’t worry over someone like him!’’

 ‘’If you say so.’’ She shrugged, but smiled. ‘’So what are you going to be doing?’’

 ‘’Considering today is Christmas, we might as well try to help with preparations.’’ I smiled. ‘’Besides, it wouldn’t hurt.’’

 ‘’Who are you and what have you done to the real Kiara?’’ She asked again, causing the two of us to laugh. ‘’Come on, let’s get ready.’’

 Zuri then ran off, leading to me following her as I whined. ‘’Zuri, wait up!’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Shujaa…’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I heard a faint whisper as I opened my eyes a bit, then went back to sleep…

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Hey, Shujaa..’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> A poke. Now this is starting to annoy me. ‘’Five more minutes, Kiara…’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’I’m not the Princess, meathead.’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I blinked as I opened my eyes fully, seeing Vitani inches from my face. All hair on my body shot up. ‘’GAH!!’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I jumped back, backing into a corner as the lioness laughed. ‘’Really, Vitani?’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Good morning to you too…’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’In these lands, you need to be on edge.’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> The lioness grumbled. ‘’Don’t I know that…’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I myself have been trying to wake you up for over an hour now, so I got into a lioness’s body and told the girl to wake you.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Thanks, buddy…

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Don’t call me your bu-

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’SHUJAA! VITANI!’’ We heard a shout as Zira entered the mound I had declared my resting area.
