TMNTMentalistLK lover; I had to write a happy ending for Jabari. Could't have him be alone. Thank you for reviewing.
The next six weeks flew by and it was soon time for Skye and Simba to become mates. The unmating process for Simba and Kula along with Nala, Malka, Mufasa and Sarabi unmating cermonies had been done already. Kula and Malka along with Mufasa and Nala had decided to wait for their wedding to take place. So Simba and Skye stood on the edge of Priderock along with Kopa as the animals all began to gather below them.
Rafiki was already there waiting for the couple to arrive. "Are you two ready?" he asked with a smile.
"You bet," Simba said looking at Skye who smiled at him. Then the golden king looked at Kopa who smiled up at him.
"Go for it dad," the seven month old cub said.
"I think that's our cue," Skye said with a laugh. But before the ceremony could continue a voice said, "Hold on there. You can't star without us."
Simba and Skye turned and saw Shenzi coming up the side of Priderock alond with Nunzi, Ed, and Banazi.
"Hey guys just in time," Simba said smiling at the group of hyeans. "Glad you could make it."
"We wouldn't miss this for anything," Edward said with a smile of his own.
"Yeah after all you lions are our pals now," Banazi piped up as he and his sister, nephew, and brother-in-law sat down with the rest of the lionesses and lions to watch the wedding.
"Are we ready now?" Rafiki asked.
"Ready," Simba said looking around and seeing Jabari, Ufisa, Athalia, Sarabi, Nuka, Mheetu, Wyatt, Solange, Sherise, Douglas, Vitani, Chumvi, and Kovu standing off to the side along with Timon and Luna, who were sitting on Pumbaa's head along with their twin two week old boys Logan and Lucas.
"Den let us begin," Rafiki said as he began to recite the traditional wedding vows.
After those were said Rafiki waved his stick over Simba and Skye offically declaring them to be mates. Then he took some reeds and made them into a crown and placed it on Skye's head. Skye then turned towards the animals gathered below and let out a powerful roar letting them know she was now their new queen. The animals let out cheers of joy at the sound of this roar. Skye then turned to her new mate and nuzzled him.
"I love you Skye," Simba whispered as his red mane blew in the wind.
"I love you more," Skye said. With that the perfect day came to an end.

Six months past and all was well in the Pridelands. Sherise, Douglas, Kiara, Kopa, Furaha and Kovu had all celebrated their first birthdays. Sherise, Furaha and Kiara had brought home a fine zebras for their first kill which they proudly shared with the pride.
"I am so proud of you sweetheart," Nala said giving her daughter a nuzzle.
"Thanks Mom," Kiara said returning the nuzzle.
"Hey way to go there killer," Kopa said giving his friend a nuzzle.
"Thanks Kopa," Kiara said smiling at her golden friend.
"Hey don't I get one of those nuzzles too?" Kovu asked walking up the the group.
"Of course how could I forget my future mate," Kiara said rubbing her head aganist Kovu's almost fully grown darker brown mane.
"My princess. You did wonderfully." Jabari smiled proudly at his daughter.
"Thanks daddy." Furaha purred nuzzing into her father's dark brown mane.
"You did well too, Sherise. I knew you could." Douglas smiled at Sherise.
Sherise purred before nuzzing into Douglas' light brown mane. "That's why I love you,"
"Kiara! You guys back," a tiny voice called out.
Kiara turned and saw Jabari and Ufisa's three month old daughter, Lyloki come running over followed by Mufasa and Nala's son, Brandt.
"Did you have fun on your hunt?" the golden brown prince asked his green eyes sparkling.
"Yeah tell us all about it," Lyloki piped up her pale orange eyes filled with wonder.
The light golden lioness looked at the cubs and smiled at their excitement. "Okay I'll tell you all about my hunting experience," Kiara said.
"Hey I wanna here too," Malka and Kula's two month old son son, Evans said his blue eyes shining along with Simba and Skye's sons Kion and Jeremiah.
"Okay you can come too," Kiara said smiling at the pale golden cub causing him to let out a cheer of joy. "You wanna come too Kopa?"
"Nah I've got more important things to tend to," the golden prince said as he saw a rusty brown lioness head towards him with a smile on her face. "Hey Scarafina how's my favorite soon to be mate?" Kopa asked giving her a nuzzle.
"Much better now that I've seen you," Scarafina replied returning the nuzzle. Just then the couple was joined by Mufasa, Simba, Jarabi and Malka, who had just returned form patrol.
"Hey Dad, hey Malka," Kopa said.
"Hey son," Simba said with a smile. "Have you guys seen Kiara and Kovu. There's someone that wants to see them."
"They're inside the cave," Kopa replied. "Kiara is telling Lyloki, Brandt, Evans, Kion and Jeremia all about her hunting trip. Why? Whose here?"
"See for yourself," Simba said stepping aside. Two young hyenas stepped forward with smiles on their faces.
"Nunzi!" Kopa cried running over to his friend. "It's so good to see you."
"You too Kopa," Nunzi said still smiling. Then he turned to his companion. "I'd like you to meet Shani, my soon to be mate."
"Nice to meet you Prince Kopa," Shani said softly. "Nunzi has told me so much about you."
"Well Shani first of all it's nice to meet you," Kopa said. "And it's Kopa. No need for formalities. And this is my soon to be mate Scarafina."
"Say what?" Nunzi said cocking one eye brow.
"Yeah it's true," Kopa said. "But Nunzi she's really changed. She's nothing like she was when you left."
"Really?" Nunzi said still compreheanding the information.
"Yes," Kopa replied. "Otherwise I wouldn't have fallen in love with her."
Nunzi opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted by Furaha, Sherise, Douglas, Kiara and Kovu emerging from the cave along with the cubs.
"Nunzi!" Kiara cried running over to her friend and giving him a nuzzle. "I'm so glad to see you."
"Same here buddy," Kovu piped up. "Welcome back."
"Thanks guys," Nunzi said with a smile. Then the hyena introduced his friends to Shani.
"Daddy I'm so glad you're back!" Lyloki shouted running up to her father a nuzzling his front leg.
"Kiara just told us about her hunting trip," Brandt said he green eyes filled with excitement.
"Really?" Simba said laughing slightly at his niece and brothers' excitement.
"Yeah it was so cool," Evans piped up looking at Malka. "Dad can you teach me how to hunt?"
"Well I think that's something your mother is better suited for son," Malka said rubbing the top of his son's head. As if on cue Kula came walking towards the group along with Skye, Ufisa and Nala.
"Mom Dad said you can teach me how to hunt," Evans said running up to his mother and nuzzling her front leg.
"Evans honey you're too young for that right now," Kula replied. "But in a few months I'll be happy to teach you."
"Yeah!" Evans shouted jumping up and down. Just then Logan and Lucas ran up to the group both meercats wanting to play.
"Mommy can we go play?" Lyloki asked.
"Of course have fun and be back by dark," Ufisa replied as she gave her daughter a nuzzle before she and the others were off to play. Just then Vitani and Nuka joined the group.
"Any news?" Nala asked.
"Not a peep," Nuka replied. "Stil no sign of Malu anywhere."
"Well at least she hasn't caused trouble," Kula said with a sigh. "And if I know my mother she won't be back here again."
"I guess all well that ends well," Simba said.
"Couldn't have said it better myself son," Mufasa said as Nala layed her head against his mane. With that the group went to the edge of Priderock along all hopful for waht the future would bring them.
AN: This is the end. Look out for book three.
