On a peaceful day in the Pridelands, Kopa was preparing to meet up with Clea at the Water Hole. Kopa bounded out of the den and onto the peak, gazing out at the kingdom.
Behind him, Simba and Nala emerged from the den, coming over to join their son; Nala was expecting their second-born cub.
"What plans do you have for today, son?" Simba asked.
"Nothing much, Dad. Just spending time with Clea." Kopa told him.
Nala's expression softened and she reached forward to ruffle Kopa's head tuft affectionately.
"Have a good time, sweetheart." she said.
"Make sure you're back by sunhigh." Simba added.
"I will. See you later." Kopa said, bounding down the pathway that led towards the grasslands.
Simba and Nala watched him head off, their eyes showing similar expressions of affection.
As Kopa headed towards the Water Hole, he felt a surge of anxiety as he remembered what he had planned to tell Clea that morning.
This is it. This is the day I tell Clea how I feel about her.
''
He felt his heart lift as he reached the Water Hole, seeing Clea settled down underneath an acacia tree.
"Hi, Clea." Kopa said as he approached her.
Clea glanced up, her eyes lighting up with excitement as he came closer to her.
"Hi, Kopa." Clea said.
Kopa moved to stand closer to her, feeling his heartbeat quicken as he prepared himself for what he wanted to tell Clea.
"Clea, I have something I've been meaning to tell you for a while." he began.
"What is it, Kopa?" Clea asked curiously.
Kopa cleared his throat.
"Clea, I'm...I'm in love with you." he admitted.
Before Clea could react, Kopa immediately rushed off, hurrying back towards Pride Rock.
As Clea watched him go, she felt a surge of happiness course through her as the impact of Kopa's words reached her.
Kopa's in love with me. He feels the same way I feel. 
She began to follow Kopa back to Pride Rock.
