Authors Notes: Its been a while since I've uploaded. I have been busy and thinking of ideas for new chapters and stuff. This chapter is peaceful just a father, a son and kings of the past. I tried to make it similar to Mufasa's and Simba's talk in the lion king.
Lion King Two Simba's Pride with Kopa Instead of Kiara
Chapter Seven: A Father's Love The Kings of The Past
After a few hours it got dark outside and Simba went and got Kopa and told him it was time to go. Kopa walked outside and asked, "Where are we going Dad?"
Simba said, "It's something important my dad told me when I was your age, that everyA future king needs to know."
"Like what Dad," asked Kopa?
Simba said, "You'll see it when we get there."
Simba and Kopa walked until they arrived at an open savannah. The stars were shining bright in the sky and there was a beautiful glow throughout the Pridelands. Kopa said, "Wow Dad, this is amazing!"
Simba said, "It looked just like this when I was with my father a long time ago."
Kopa asked, "What did you have to show me Dad?"
Simba said, "First, I have to ask you something Kopa."
"Ask me what Dad," Kopa said?
"Why did you go to the Outlands when I specifically told you not to," Simba said.
Kopa said, "Oh, I did it to play with that lioness Vitani," Kopa said.
"Even after I told you they were dangerous you went anyway," Simba said.
Kopa said "Yeah I did Dad. I'm sorry."
"Kopa, going to see this lioness left you with a bad scar on your back, and it almost cost you your life," said Simba.
Kopa said, "I just wanted to play with my friend. I didn't know Zira would try to kill me."
Simba said, "Kopa, I know you're just a cub, and all you want to do is to have fun. Believe me, when I was a cub I was the same way. But if I tell you not to do something, don't do it! Do you understand?"
Kopa said, "Yes Dad. I understand."
"Good Son, I only want what is best for you," Simba said.
While Simba was talking, Kopa had an idea. He quietly took a few steps back and hid in the tall grass. Simba not noticing that Kopa had slipped away, said, "Son, I'm glad that we had this talk." After a few moments of silence, Simba turned around to see that Kopa was gone. Simba said, "Kopa where are you?"
"I'm right here," said Kopa as he jumped out of the grass onto his father's back. Then he said, "Tag, you're it," as he tagged Simba then jumped off.
"Nobody tags me," said Simba. Simba growled and started to chase Kopa thru the grass. Kopa laughed while his father chased him until finally Simba caught Kopa and grabbed his son in his paws. Simba messed with Kopa's mane and said, "Tag you're it." Then Simba let Kopa go.
But Kopa jumped on Simba again and said, "No tag you're it," as he pulled on his dad's mane until Simba fell to the ground with Kopa laying on his back.
Simba said, "Uncle, uncle, I surrender."
Kopa said, "I got you didn't I Dad."
"Yeah you did," Simba said.
"Dad," said Kopa.
"Yes son," replied Simba.
"I'm glad you're my dad. We have a lot of fun together don't we? It's really cool how you're the king," said Kopa.
"That's how I felt about my own father when I was your age," said Simba.
Kopa had a uneasy look on his face and said, "Dad I have a question. I have wondered this for a while."
"What is son," said Simba?
"Well, after Rafiki saved me, I asked him how he even knew I was in danger. It's what he said that I didn't understand," Kopa said.
"What did he say," Simba asked?
"He said that grandpa told him I was in danger. Then he said that grandpa told him exactly where to find me so he could save me," Kopa said.
Simba said, "That's exactly what I had to tell you tonight. My father told me when I was the same age as you.
" Kopa asked, "What did your dad tell you?"
Simba said, "You know when we die our bodies become the grass."
"Yeah Dad you told me that already," Kopa said.
Simba continued, "Well when kings die, our bodies become the grass like everyone else's. But our spirits join past kings in the stars."
"How does it all work," asked Kopa?
"I'm not really sure, but several times my father has been there to guide me. He has appeared in several forms including wind," said Simba.
"So they give kings advice," asked Kopa?
"Something like that," said Simba.
"I wonder who is up there," Kopa said.
Simba said, "Well I know for a fact my father is up there. And I'm pretty sure that my grandfather Ahadi is up there. Look at the brightest star in the sky Kopa. That is my great grandfather Mohatu."
"Cool Dad, are their more up there," asked Kopa?
"I don't really know, but I think their are more. But I do know this, one day I'll join them," said Simba.
Kopa said, "I know it's because you're the greatest king ever."
Simba replied, "Thanks son, and remember they'll always be there to guide you and so will I."
After an hour of star gazing Kopa fell asleep in his father's paws. Simba smiled and he was happy. Simba thought about what Kopa said about Mufasa. Then he looked into the sky and said, "Father, thank you for saving my son".
Then the great lion Mufasa appeared in the clouds. Then Mufasa said, "Simba you have done well. Your son will make a fine king."
Simba said, "Thank you for looking out for me and my son."
"Simba, I told you I would always be there for you and I always will," said Mufasa.
Then Mufasa disappeared into the clouds. Simba thought of the time when his father told him about the kings of the past. He thought about the fact that it was his last good moment with his father before he died. He felt sad that his father died but he was happy that he still had his son. Simba hugged Kopa and thought that even when he died, he would always be there for Kopa.
A few minutes later, Simba got up and carried Kopa in his mouth. He walked for a while until he got to Priderock. He walked into his cave and put Kopa down next to Nala. Then he laid down next to them both.
Nala asked, "Where have you two been?"
"I just told him a little future king thing"said Simba.
"Are you okay Simba? You look like something is bothering you," Nala said.
Simba replied, "I'm fine. I'm just happy our family is still together."
"So am I" Nala smiled and said. Then the two of them fell asleep right by their son.
