Chapter 1- Blushing Beauty

"Ok, ok, relax, Timon."

Timon was pacing back and forth, talking to himself. I was lying on my stomach, watching him from up in one of the trees. It was one of my favorite pastimes, watching him blabber on to himself. "You're just about to do something that could either bless you for the rest of your life, or destroy you so that you never see the light of day again," he said nervously.

My eyes widened a little. Whatever he's about to do sound pretty important. Ma walked up to him.

"Timon, honey, relax. I'm sure it will be fine," she soothed.

"Fine? Fine? How can you say that? It'll never work! I'll be doomed to a life of misery for the rest of my life!" he exclaimed. She handed him a leaf.

"Breathe, Timon, breathe." He wrapped the leaf around his mouth and breathed heavily into it, inflating and deflating it.

"Now, when you talk to her, make sure you look her in the eye. Don't look at your feet," his mother instructed. I sat up on my paws. Her? Ok, this is about me.

"But what if I mess up? I'll be ruined! She'll hate me!" He looked up at his hair. "Ugh, and I look like a slob! Ma, could you fix my hair?" I gasped.

This IS important. Is he breaking up with me or something? I slapped my forehead with my palm. I should have known. This whole boyfriend-girlfriend thing was probably just a joke. Oh yeah, Timon would do that.

"Timmy, you'll do just fine. Just be yourself, and everything will work out," Ma said, smoothing out his hair.

"Be myself? That's the last thing I want to do! Uncle Max is right, I'm a failure as a meerkat!"

I slid down the tree trunk. "I don't know, I think you're ok." Timon jumped.

"I'll leave you two alone," Ma said, making a quick exit. Timon was looking off into the jungle, back turned to me.

"Uh, hey Anana, how are you?" I giggled and stepped in front of him.

"I'm fine. What about you? Freaking out like you always do?" I asked. He looked away.

"Uh, yeah, you could say that." I rolled my eyes and took his face in my paws, forcing him to look at me.

"Freaking out about what?"

"Nothing." I raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing?"

"Nope. Nothing to speak of," he said anxiously, avoiding my gaze. I crossed my arms over my chest.

"So what was this make-or-break-my-life spiel I heard you going on about?" I asked.

He looked at me. "You… you heard that?" he asked. I nodded. He bit his lip.

"Alright, I have something really important to tell you, but I'm really nervous, so don't laugh," he said.

"Alright, Timon, I promise. Now what is?" I asked, taking his paw. He sighed.

"Ok, here it goes. Anana, I… I really love you, no matter how hard you try to annoy me, and I… I…"

I rolled my eyes. "Come on, Timon, out with it!" He took a deep breath.

"AnanaIloveyouandIwantustogetmarried!"

I stared at him with wide eyes. "I didn't catch that. Mind separating it into syllables and words I can understand?" I asked. He took another deep breath.

"Anana…" he took my other paw. "I love you. A lot. And I want us to be together forever." I felt my eyes widen. The rest of me was numb. Timon got down on one knee.

"Will you marry me?" My jaw dropped. Ok, I admit it, I was wrong. "Anana?" Timon asked timorously.

"I… I… I don't know what to say," I stuttered.

"You could say yes and end the heart attack I'm having," he said hopefully.

I took a few bracing breaths. "Yes."

"Oh geez! I knew it! I knew you'd say no! I… wait. Did you say yes?" he asked. I nodded, a peaceful smile on my face. A huge grin spread across his face. He kissed me. I blinked a couple times before closing my eyes. Then he broke away and ran to a cliff.

"You hear that? She's mine, so hands off!" he yelled.

I couldn't help giggling. He ran back over and hugged me.

"I love you," he whispered. I hugged him back.

"I love you too."

Someone joined our hug, smooshing Timon and me together even more. "Oh, this is such a wonderful moment! I can't wait till the wedding!" It was Pumbaa. He suddenly dropped us. "That means I'm the only one left who's single!"

Timon and I looked at him in sympathy. "There, there, Pumbaa, someday you might find someone," Timon said reassuringly. I tried to ignore Timon's crossed fingers as I nodded.

Pumbaa hugged us again. "Awww, thanks, you guys!" We were released, only to be hugged by Ma.

"I knew it would work, I just knew!" Timon sighed.

"Yeah, Ma, you were right. It worked." Through the hug, Timon managed to grab my paw. "I'm glad it did."

I smiled and blushed. "What's going on?"

It was Swifty. Ma ran over and started skipping with him.

"Anana and Timon are getting married!" Timon and I burst out laughing at the sight of Swifty and Ma dancing and skipping.

"That's great!" Swifty said, escaping Ma and hugging me.

I smirked. "You should have guessed this was coming when I actually stood up for Timon." He let me go and shook his head.

"Leave it to Anana Banana to take a beautiful moment and turn it into an insult."

Ma was already going on about the wedding. "… We'll have to get some flowers, I was thinking pink ones, they'll look so pretty next to Anana's dark fur, and we'll have to tell Simba, oh, and we have to invite your family, of course, Anana." I smiled and shook my head.

How can one little question spark this much fuss?

Timon and I locked eyes. And I just blushed. But I am the blushing bride, so I guess that fits.
