Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Simba chased Nala down the waterfall. Nala looked at the place Simba had called home for the past few years. It was so beautiful and full of life. Nala hadn't seen this much life since Mufasa was the king of the Pride lands. She looked back at the lion that was chasing her down the waterfall and smiled to herself. It was beautiful because Simba was there with her.
Once they were at the bottom of the waterfall they were walking along the rocks and staring into each other's eyes. Nala couldn't get over how Simba's eyes reflected not only how handsome he was, but also his emotions. Every emotion he made, his eyes really showed that and Nala felt herself getting lost in his eyes. And telling by his eyes, she knew he was getting lost in hers too.
"Do you want to drink some water? You might want it because of your long journey." Simba asked her uncertainly. Nala looked into his eyes and saw that he looked anxious or worried. This alarmed her; Simba was never the one to get anxious or worried; unless something really was wrong. She still nodded with a smile.
"Yes I would if you don't mind." Simba smiled and they walked over the edge and began to drink quietly. Simba stared at the beautiful lioness drinking in front of him. She was his truest best friend. She had always been there for him in the bad and hard times. Now she was here. He had so much to tell her. There was something she didn't know about him. He would tell her…but she might walk away from him.
"So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past, impossible
She'd turn away from me"
Nala looked up from drinking. She looked at Simba, almost shocked. Simba didn't realize, but he was singing his feelings out loud! Nala knew he may be hiding something. There was something he wasn't telling her.
"He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is?
The king I see inside?"
Simba blinked hard and ran right past her. Nala looked at him as he ran off, confused. Was she singing her thoughts out loud too? Was he offended by her saying/singing that? Her thoughts were interrupted by Simba swinging off a vine and landing in the water. Nala ran to the edge, trying to see if Simba was okay.
"Simba! Simba, where are you?! Simba are you okay?!" Nala looked down and saw Simba emerge from the water; and pulling her down with him! Nala did a flip into the water and immediately got back on the rock shivering from how cold the water was. Simba laughed from the edge of the rock.
"Oh come on Nala the water isn't that cold!" Nala was still shivering and shook her head.
"No it's not…IT'S FREEZING!" Simba jumped back onto the rock and smirked.
"You need more adventure Nala. Where did that spunky troublesome cub I used to know go?" Nala looked at Simba and held back a laugh. He was drenched from head to toe and his big red mane was covering his eyes. She grinned evilly.
"You want adventure…I'll give you adventure!" She pushed him back into the water and he came out again and looked at her with a devilish glare.
"You just made a wrong decision Nala!" He began to chase after her and she screamed with excitement and fun; something she hadn't had in years
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Nala and Simba were running through the fields of his home and Nala had one thought racing through her mind; I'm alive now. Many years had gone by and she felt like she was dead and lifeless because she didn't have her best friend there. She stopped running and turned to Simba.
"Simba, there is something I want to tell you." Simba stopped running and looked at her.
"Okay…tell me." Nala looked down at the ground, not knowing how to tell him this.
"Well…um…when you and Mufasa…died…I kind of died too." Simba looked at her, confused and concerned. He didn't understand what she meant.
"What does that mean?" Nala took another big breath and looked into his eyes.
"Well…it means I lost myself. Everyday of my life until now, I would still go and meet you at our special tree and it would take me hours before I finally realized that you were dead. And I lost myself after that. I was no longer that fun jumpy cub anymore. I was hurt for years and never recovered until now and um…" Nala looked into his eyes, not knowing if she should go on. Simba gave her an assuring smile and nodded.
"Yes?"
"And well…now that I've found you…I don't want to lose you again. I can't go through that same pain again. I'll die if I do." Simba looked into her beautiful eyes and smiled warmly.
"I understand Nala…I felt the same way." Nala's eyes glittered with surprise and happiness. He felt the same way?
"Really?" Simba nodded his head, a smile painted on his face.
"Yes…every night before I would go to sleep, I would always think to myself, I wonder how Nala is…I wonder if she's happy…and more importantly, I always wonder if I'll ever see her again." Nala tried not to let any tears fall from her eyes. Simba's words had touched her heart in every way.
"Well we finally did see each other now."
"And that we did." Simba began to slowly walk away, but then Nala's voice stopped him.
"Simba wait! There is something else I have been dying to tell you." Simba turned around, a mocking grin on his face. He raised a paw, telling her to stop.
"Don't say a word Nala! I know what you're going to say." Nala looked at him and grinned as well.
"Oh really? What am I going to say then?" He smirked.
"This is what you're going to say." Nala chuckled to herself as Simba began to act really dramatic.
"Oh samba, you're so handsome I want to marry you! I want to have cubs with you! That's what you were going to say!" Nala giggled and shook her head. That was what was going through her head, but she wasn't going to tell him that.
"Nope!" Simba looked at her, desperate.
"Well I don't know then…tell me!" Nala moved in closer to him, as if she were telling him a secret.
"This is what I was going to tell you…TAG! YOU'RE IT!" She tagged Simba and was beginning to run up a nearby hill. Simba began to chase after her; after all, they were playing tag!
Nala turned around to see where Simba was and Simba jumped up and he caught her…only to send them both rolling down the hill! They both laughed and Nala put a paw on his face and licked his face gently. Simba looked at her shocked and she smiled seductively. He smiled back at her.
"I love you Nala."
"I love you too Simba."
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
Nala and Simba were now gazing into each others eyes, not wanting to take their eyes off each other. Nala couldn't even describe the happiness that was filling her heart right now.
"And if he feels the love tonight
In the way I do"
Simba looked at her and smiled. Nala was thinking/singing out loud again! But Simba sang back to her.
"It's enough for this restless wanderer"
Nala smiled at him and they cuddled each other, singing into each other's ears…wishing they could stay like this forever.
"Just to be with you"
To be continued…
