DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING
It had been two weeks since the trio of exiles had met Timon and Pumbaa, and the alliance had been a fruitful one. Timon showed the trio the best places to find food to eat, while Pumbaa provided locations for stunning visuals, which Simba and Nala now used for their romantic getaways. Blade was resting down by a tree when Simba ran up to him in frenzy.
"Blade! A flying monster has crashed about a mile away and it caused a massive explosion!"
Blade quickly got up to his feet. "Get Nala, Pumbaa, and Timon. I know what the situation is, and we have to check for survivors!"
Once the rest of the gang was rounded up, the five of them journey toward the location of the explosion. The remains of a helicopter were scattered around that area of the jungle. In the center of the former helicopter was a woman, who was fighting for her life. Blade noticed her, and checked for a pulse.
"It's at about 30. Not good at all, but she's alive." He then turned to Simba. "Get a fire going, her body needs heat." Now, Blade looked to Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa. "See those backpacks?" The three of them nodded, and Blade continued. "Get them. Her possessions are probably in there."
The fire was set in the middle of a grove of Date Palms, whose leaves reached high into the canopy. Blade placed the woman's body near the fire, and scanned her for injuries. He noted she was quite attractive. She had brown hair, very pale skin, and looked to be about 23 years old. Blade eventually concluded that besides some first-degree burns, she had no injuries, and that her trauma was probably caused by the impact. Blade knew that she would make a full recovery, and he could only wait until she awoke.
In the end, Blade didn't have to wait long, as the woman regained consciousness about six hours later. He watched her sit up, and she looked at him perplexed. "Who are you, and why am I here?" Blade smiled at her. "I'm former US Marine named Thomas Foresight, but I go by Blade. Your chopper crashed and I rescued you."
The woman looked up at him with a smile. "I'm Kate Okochekov. I'm a biologist from Midland, Texas, but I'm also a kick-ass knife thrower."
Blade smiled back, and said, "So you're a biologist, eh? Let me be the first to tell you that almost everything you know is completely wrong."
Kate looked at Blade confused, "What the hell are you talking about?" Blade smiled in response. "You won't believe me until I show you." Blade then cocked his head to the west, "SIMBA! NALA! TIMON! PUMBAA! SHE'S AWAKE!" The four immediately ran over to Blade, who smiled in response. "Animals talk and understand American English. That's how I survived out here. I was taken in by a lion pride. Simba here is the rightful king. His uncle murdered his father and banished Simba." Blade then turned toward Nala. "Nala here is his girlfriend, who Simba's uncle, named Scar, also banished." Blade turned to Timon and Pumbaa, "The meerkat is Timon, and the pig is Pumbaa, who we met while exiled in the jungle." Pumbaa bowed to her, "Tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Kate smiled at the five of them. "It's a weird feeling finding out that everything you have ever learned about your chosen field of study is wrong, but it's a great pleasure to meet you all." She then looked around. "I have nowhere else to go, so would y'all mind terribly if I stayed with y'all?"
Blade smiled at her. "I was hoping you'd ask that question. Of course you can stay with us!" He helped Kate stand up, and they both looked at each other, suddenly feeling quite awkward around the significant other. After a long silence, Blade spoke up, "I'm going to get dinner. Scream loudly if you need me for anything." With that, he walked into the sunset, feeling conflicted.
That's all for now! Do you want Blade and Kate to fall in love quickly like I've been doing, or do you want me to draw it out more? Let me know in the reviews! Thank you so much for reading!
