Ohmigosh. I 've been neglecting this soooooooo much. For all you who actually read this, I present you, the last three chaps of this movie.
Amelia and Lovino were walking in a part of the forest.
"Isn't this a great place?" Lovino asked Amelia.
"It is beautiful. But I don't understand something. You've been alive all this time. Why didn't you come back to Pride Rock?" She agreed and asked a question.
Meanwhile, Lovino climbed into a "hammock" of hanging vines before answering.
"Well, I just needed to... get out on my own. Live my own life. And I did. And it's great." He said, but it sounded like he was trying to concvince both of them.
Amelia's voice caught, barely under control, "We've really needed you at home." She accused.
"No one needs me." Lovino argued weakly, voice quiter.
" Yes, we do! You're the king." Amelia shot back.
"Amelia, we've been throug this. I'm not the king. Abel is." Lovino answered.
"Lovi, he let the hyenas take over the Pride Lands." Amelia told him,
"What?" Lovino paused, looking at her with disbelief.
"Everything's destroyed. There's no food. No water. Lovi, if you don't do something soon, everyone will starve." Amelia said sadly.
" I can't go back." Lovino repeated.
"Why?" Amelia questioned, raising her voice.
"You wouldn't understand." Lovino told her.
"What wouldn't I understand?" Amelia asked.
"No, no, no. It doesn't matter. Hakuna Matata." Lovino muttered the last part, speaking hastily.
"What?" Amelia asked.
"Hakuna Matata. It's something I learned out here. Look, sometimes bad things happen..." Lovino was interupped by Amelia.
"Lovino!" Her eyes were wide, agast and shocked. She even used his full name.
"... And there's nothing you can do about it. So why worry?" Lovino continued, irratated.
Lovino started away from Amelia, walking on a fallen tree. But Amelia trotted back up to him.
"Because it's your responsibility!" She argued stubbornly.
"Well, what about you? YOU left." Lovino accused.
"I left to find help!" Amelia anwsered, desperate, " And I found YOU. Don't you understand? You're our only hope." She said.
"Sorry." Lovino stated.
"What's happened to you? You're not the Lovi I remember." Amelia said, annoyed, worried, and sad at once.
"You're right, I'm not. Now are you satisfied?" Lovino asked.
"No, just disappointed." Amelia said.
"You know, you're starting to sound like my father." Lovino threw out there, walking away again.
"Good. At least one of us does." Amelia snapped back.
Lovino paused, obviously cut by her comment. He rounded on her, angry as a bitching grizzly bear.
"Listen, you think you can just freaking show up and tell me how to freaking live my life? You don't even freaking know what I've been through!" Lovino nearly shouted in Amelia's face.
"I would if you would just tell me!" Amelia bit back.
"Forget it!" Lovino snapped, turning away.
"Fine!" Amelia hollared back, not bothering to follow him this time.
Lovino was now pacing in a field.
"She's wrong. I can't go back. What would it prove, anyway? It won't change anything. You can't change the past." Lovino paused his rant to look up at the stars. "You said you'd always be there for me! But you're not. And it's because of me. It's my fault. It's my fault." He said, angry at first, but ending sadly. Lovino bowed his head, holding back tears.
Meanwhile, Arthur was in a nearby tree... cause that's what monkeys do, right? Anyway, he was chanting.
"Asante sana! [Thank you very much!]
Squash banana! [Squash banana!]
We we nugu! [You're a BABOON,]
Mi mi apana! [And I'm not!]"
He chanted, annoying Lovino. But when he moved away. Arthur, elated by the sight of Lovino, followed him. Lovino lied down on a log over a pond. A rock disturbed the water; Arthur, now in a new tree, started his chant again.
"Come on, will you freaking cut it out?" Lovino asked, annoyed. Arthur just laughed, but looked a little annoyed. He did some random acrobatics in his trees, because he's a monkey. Not a wierd human who did magic, like the pictures he had painted once. It had scared Arthur to end. Well- wait. of track here.
"Can't cut it out. It'll grow right back!" Arthur exclaimed, laughing again.
Lovino walked away; Arthur followed.
"Freaking Creepy Little Monkey. Will you stop following me? Who are you?" Lovino asked.
Then suddenly, the dubbed 'Freaking Creepy Little Monkey' was there, in Lovino's face. "The question is: Whooo... are you?" He asked.
Lovino was startled at first, but then sighed. " I thought I knew. Now I'm not to sure." he said honestly.
" Well, I know who you are. Shh. Come here. It's a secret." Arthur said. When Lovino did. Arthur burst out singing,
"Asante sana!
Squash banana!
We we nugu!
Mi mi apana!"
"Enough already. What's that supposed to mean anyway?" Lovino asked.
" It means you are a baboon- and I'm not." Arthur said, laughing.
"I think... you're a little confused." Lovino said carefully, backing away.
Magically in front of Lovino again, Arthur smiled. " Wrong. I'm not the one who's confused; you don't even know who you are." The baboon said.
"Oh, I suppose you know?" Lovino asked, sarcasic and irritated.
"Sure do; you're Antonio's boy. ... Cheerio!" Arthur said, swinging off cackling.
Lovino frozed, sursprised by this revelation.
"Hey, wait!" Lovino exclaimed, racing after the baboon.
When Lovino caught up, Arthur was in a meditative lotus position on a rock.
"You knew me father?" Lovino asked.
"Correction- I know your father." Arthur said in monotone.
"I hate to tell you this, but... he died. A long time ago." Lovino said sadly.
Arthur suddenly leaped off the rock over to a dense jungle-like area.
"Nope. Wrong again! Ha ha hah! He's alive! And I'll show him to you. You follow old Arthur, he knows the way. Come on!" Arthur cackled, leaping into the brush, leading Lovino. Lovino tried to keep up, but his size a disadvantage right now.
"Don't dawdle. Hurry up!" Athur scolded.
"Hey, whoa. Wait, wait." Lovino panted.
"Come on, come on." Arthur urged.
"Would you slow down?" Lovino answered, annoyed.
Arthur was flitting was easily through the canopy ahead of Lovino, laughing hollowly and whooping. Lovino on the other hand, was not happy and struggling to keep up. Suddenly, Arthur appeared with his hand held up right into Lovino's face.
"STOP!" Arthur hollared. Then, he motionedo Lovino near some reeds. Arthur parted the reeds and points past with his staff, which appeared from God know's where.
"Look down there." The baboon intructed.
Lovino quietly and carefully worked his way out. He looked over the edge and saw his reflection in a pool of water. He was startled, maybe at his own mature appearance, but then he realized what he looked at.
"That's not my father. That's just my reflection." Lovino said, with a disappointed sigh.
"Noo. Look harder." Arthur told him, motioning over the pool. Ripples formed, distorting Lovino's reflection; they resolved into Antonio's race. Lovino heard a deep rumbling noise.
"You see, he lives in you" Arthur said.
Lovino started, awestruck. The wind picked up. In the air, a huge image of Antonio was forming from the clouds. He seemed to be walking from the stars. His image was ghostly at first, but steadily gained color and coherence.
"Lovino" Antonio said quietly.
"Father?" Lovino asked, eyes wide.
"Lovino, you have forgotten me." Antonio accused.
"No. How could I?" Lovino argued.
"You have forgotten who you are, and so have forgotten me Look inside yourself, Lovino. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the Circle of Life." Antonio explained.
"How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be." Lovino tried, sounding like a child.
"Remember who you are. You are my son, and the one true king." Antonio reminded Lovino. Lovino's expression was a mix of awe, fear, and sadness. Even more so when Antonio's image started to fade.
"Remember who you are." Antonio said, fading quickly into the clouds. Lovino ran into the fields, trying to keep up.
"No. Don't leave me." Lovino hollared.
"Remember..."
"Father!"
"Remember..."
"Don't leave me."
"Remember..." With that whisper, Antonio was gone.
Lovino was left in the fields, looking at the cloud that covered his father's image. Arthur approached him.
"What was THAT?" Arthur threw back his head and laughed," The weather- Pbbah! Very peculiar. Don't you think?" The baboon asked.
"Yeah. Looks like the winds are changing." Lovino said, smiling slightly.
"Ahhh. Change is good." Arthur stated.
"Yeah, but it's not easy. I know what I have to do. But, going back means I'll have to face my past. I've been running from it for so long." Lovino murmered.
Arthur smacked Lovino with his staff.
"Oww! Jeez- what was that for?" Lovino said irritated.
"It doesn't matter; it's in the past!" Arthur exclaimed, laughing.
Lovino rubbed his head. "Yeah, but it still hurts."
"Oh, yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it." Arthur clarified.
He swung at Lovin again, but this time Lovino ducked.
"Hah, you see! So what are you going to do?" Arthur asked.
"First, I'm gonna take your stick." Lovino annouced, tossing Arthur's staff to the side.
"No, no, no, no! Not the stick! " Arthur gasped, horrified. As the baboon picked up his "stick", Lovino started running off.
"Hey, where are you going?" Arthur called.
"I'm going back!" Lovino hollared, looking straight ahead.
"Good! Go on! Get out of here!" Arthur laughed, he hooted and hollers. As he held his staff above his head, a few shooting stars zinged arcoss the sky.
