Author's Note:Twilight-Wolf xXx; Some what, but he'll find a way. As for everyone else's reactions, that's coming up shortly.
Fangirl Fluffy; Yeah had to add a little humor. You have no idea about the future interactions.
Asaf; I haven't forgotten about Kopa. His time will shine, as for Simba' s reaction. He's overwhelmed with emotions but he will have a moment with his son.
TMNTMentalistTLK lover, Yeah they're reunited. More goodness to come.
ThatTexasKid; I'm glad you had a good laugh but there's more to come.
The songs used are A Dream Is A Wish A Heart Makes from Disney's Cinderella and the second part to Christina Perry's, A Thousand Years.
A loud angered roar echoed through the cave. The ones that sat in the cave winched from the loudness before looking back at the fuming pale cream lioness.
"You actually want us to believe that this lioness is our father and that young lion is our the deceased prince?!"
A golden-tan lion sighed before nuzzling his mate. "Loki, calm down. Rafiki said it's the truth."
Loki snarled at her mate. "You want us to believe a old monkey that scratch his own butt!"
Mheetu frowned before sighing. "I know it's not easy for you...all of you but what can I do to prove that I'm your father?"
Talia nuzzled her crying cubs before looking at her now mother. "Nothing at all. Yes this is hard but we'll get use to it."
Mheetu smiled lightly at her daughter before frowning at another outburst from Loki. The pale cream lioness growled as her golden eyes burned like a wild fire.
"Sing the song that you use to sing when we couldn't sleep!"
Mheetu's ears perked and smiled a bit before singing softly. "A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true."
Loki and her siblings by now had tears streaming down their faces. If someone didn't believe before, they sure enough believe now. Kovu and Kiara watched Loki and Talia embrace the light cream lioness that is their father back from the dead. The dark brown lion had mixed emotions about the ordeal. He just had a dream where his deceased father visited him and now he's alive and a lioness.
"Kopa..."
Kovu and Kiara turned their attention to the creamy yellow teen that was being approached by the peachy cream queen. Kopa pinned his ears and smiled lightly.
"Hi mom."
Tears of joy fell from the queen's aquamarine eyes as she took a paw and brought her son into a embrace. "My son...it's great to have you home."
Kopa had tears of his own as he leaned into the hug. "Mommy I missed you so much."
Kiara looked away with a sigh. There's so much she is lost about.
-TOAAII-
Mheetu sat at the peak as the stars shined brightly. Everyone had welcomed her and Kopa with open arms but Simba still haven't returned and she's worried. She looked in the cave to see the pride winding down and getting ready for sleep. She looked back at the savannah and took a deep breath before getting up and heading down the rocky slope. The cool vegetarian soothed the light cream lioness' tense muscles. She had a lot on her mind and she needs to find Simba before she goes crazy.
Mheetu sighed heavily as she looked up at the dark sky. The stars shining brightly across the night sky. No one can prepare her for the life and responsibility that is now in store for her. She's not complaining but with this new opportunity, there's so much on her shoulders than before. Mheetu stopped and sat on a hill top with a sigh. A shooting star caught the lioness' attention. She followed the star across the sky where she saw something in the distance by a hollow log. Mheetu looked around before looking back at the figure before descending down the hill and towards the figure. As she got closer, her theory was right and the figure was none other than Simba.
The golden lion's body tensed before he sighed. "I know that you are there."
Mheetu sighed heavily before walking over and sitting by the king's side. "I..."
"Why did you let go?"
Mheetu's eyes widened but sighed deeply. "Fair enough. I thought you wouldn't love me back."
Simba raised a eyebrow. "You think I love you now?"
Mheetu smiled lovingly. "Of course. I watched you and let's face it. It's something we both know. So why fight it?"
Simba looked away and sighed. "I guess I didn't want to admit it but I have always loved you and never stopped."
Mheetu smiled at the lion before her and nuzzled him lovingly before singing. "The day we met
frozen, I held my breath
right from the start
knew that I found a home
for my heart,
Beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
Watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a Thousand years,
Love you for a Thousand more."
Simba smiled lovingly back before nuzzling the side of the light cream lioness' neck and started singing. "Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be braveI will not let anything
Take away
Standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this."
Mheetu and Simba smiled at each other with love in their eyes. "One step closerI have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a Thousand years,
Love you for a Thousand more
All along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a Thousand years,
Love you for a Thousand more,
Love you for a Thousand more
One step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a Thousand years,"
Simba stopped to catch his breath but never taking his orange eyes off of the lioness besides him. Mheetu licked the golden lion across the cheek with a purr.
"Love you for a Thousand more
All along I believed
I would find you."
Simba nuzzled Mheetu's nose with his as they both finished the song. "Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a Thousand years,
Love you for a
Thousand more."
Mheetu nuzzled into the lion's red mane before purring in his ear, "I love you."
Simba smiled and nuzzled the lioness. "I love you, too."
