----
On a peaceful day in the Pridelands, the lionesses had assembled outside the den.
"Where are we hunting today, Mom?" Kiara asked. 
"I thought we'd hunt in Chakula Plains today. There's a reedbuck herd that grazes there." Nala answered.
"Okay." Kiara replied.
Nala led the lionesses towards Chakula Plains. When they arrived, Nala glanced over at her daughter expectantly.
"You lead the hunt today, Kiara." Nala said.
"Really?" Kiara asked, an expression of shock in her eyes.
"Yes, I believe you can do it." Nala said encouragingly.
Kiara nodded, her eyes closing as she focused on the scent of the nearby herd of reedbuck. She opened her eyes, turning to face the gathered lionesses, who were waiting for her instructions
"Spread out, everyone. There should be enough for us each to make a kill. Feel free to work in teams." Kiara directed.
As the lionesses began to spread out, Kiara caught Vitani's eye, beckoning with her tail for Vitani to join her.
"Let's hunt together, Tani." Kiara suggested.
Vitani nodded.
Having caught the scent of a young reedbuck, Kiara dropped into a crouch, Vitani moving to crouch down beside her. The two of them exchanged a glance and Kiara nodded, signaling with her tail for Vitani to move forward. Vitani slowly crept forward, her blue gaze focused on the reedbuck as it grazed not far from them, unsuspecting of their presence.
Kiara held her breath, waiting for the moment to leap forward. After a few heartbeats had passed, she moved closer to the reedbuck, glancing over at Vitani. Vitani caught her gaze, and the two of them lunged forward, startling the reedbuck, which attempted to escape. Before it could run away, Vitani clamped her jaws down hard on its neck, silencing its shout of alarm. 
"Great job, Tani." Kiara said approvingly.
"Thanks. Kiara." Vitani replied.
Concurrently, Sarabi and Sarafina were tracking another reedbuck, not far away. The two of them moved forward, their eyes focused on the reedbuck in front of them. Sarafina glanced at Sarabi, indicating with her tail for her to make the next move. Sarabi crept forward silently, preparing for the moment to launch her attack. She leapt forward, pinning the reedbuck underneath her. Sarabi's jaws clamped down on the neck of the reedbuck, killing it instantly. 
"Nicely done, Sarabi." Sarafina praised.
Satisfied with the success of the hunt, Nala summoned the lionesses to gather around her with a flick of her tail, several of the other lionesses having also made a kill.  
"Well done, everyone." Nala said.
She moved closer to Kiara, nuzzling her daughter affectionately.
"You did an excellent job leading the hunt, Kiara. I'm very proud of you." she said warmly.
"Thanks, Mom." Kiara replied.
The lionesses began to head towards Pride Rock. Once they arrived, they deposited their kills on the fresh-kill pile. Simba and Kovu approached them, Kion following behind them.
"Welcome home, everyone. I can see the prey was plentiful today." Simba said.
"Yes, we had a very successful hunt." Nala agreed.
Her expression softened as Kion came over to her.
"I'm glad you're home, Mama." Kion said. 
"Thank you, my darling." Nala answered.
