The Lion King & The Lion Guard: Cub-Hood Days

by Multi-Mediaverse Master 142.0

This is a collection of made-up, theoretical, "what if...", and alternate stories I made up that could depict what could've/might've or should've happened during Simba's, Nala's, Kiara's, Kion's and all their friends' early years, both before and during the events of both The Lion King and The Lion Guard.

3. You Will Be A Wonderful Queen, Sister

(This takes place sometime shortly after Kopa's funeral)

(Kopa's Spirit Appears From Behind Kiara)

(Kion Arrives And Notices Kopa Behind Kiara)

Kion: Uh, Kiara?

Kiara: Yes, Kion? (Turns Her Head And Gasps In Surprise)

Kopa: Kion. Kiara.

Kiara And Kion: Kopa?

Kopa: My Dear Little Brother And Sister, I Just Want You Both To Know That I'm Proud Of You Both For Being Such Great Siblings Of Mine.

Kiara: But, How Could It Really Be You?

Kion: Yeah, You're Dead.

Kopa: I Know. But Despite That, I Will Always Be With You Two, No Matter What. Look Inside Yourselves, You Are Both More Than What I'd Hoped You Would Be. You Must Take Your Duties And Responsibilities Of The Pridelands Seriously.

Kiara: How Can We?!

Kion: How Can We Do That?! Ever Since What Happened To You, We're Not Who We Used To Be.

Kopa: Remember Who You Are. You Are My Siblings, And The One-True Son And Daughter Of The King.

(Kion And Kiara Stare In Awe At Kopa And Breathe Heavily)

Kopa: Remember Who You Are.

(Kopa's Spirit Begins To Rise Back Up Into The Sky And Into The Clouds And Begins To Fade Away Within Them)

Kiara: No! Please! Don't Leave Us!

(Kion And Kiara, Still Sad And Confused, Chase After Kopa's Slowly Fading Spirit)

Kiara: Please, Come Back! We Need You!

Kion: DON'T GO, BROTHER! DON'T GO!

Kopa: Remember. Remember. Remember.

(They Tried To Keep Up With Kopa's Spirit, But To No Avail)

Kion: Please! Don't Leave Us Again.

Kopa: (Voice) I Never Left You Two... And Never Will. I Promise. Remember Who You Are. (Echoing) Remember.

(After Kopa's Spirit Had Faded Away With The Clouds, Kion And Kiara Tearfully Stare At The Night Sky.)

Kion: You Know What I'm Thinking Kiara?

Kiara: What, Little Brother?

Kion: That Kopa's Right?

Kiara: Yeah. Me Too.

Kion: (Crying) But... I Just Wanted To Make Him Proud Of Us.

Kiara: (Crying) Yeah, So Do I.

(Just Then, Simba And Nala Arrive To Comfort Their Two Remaining Cubs)

Simba: (Comforts Kion) Its Gonna Be Alright, Kids.

Nala: (Comforts Kiara) Yes, We're All Gonna Be Just Fine.

Kion: (Sniffs) (Tearfully) We Know.

Kiara: (Sniffs) (Tearfully) But, We're Really Gonna Miss Having Him Here With Us.

Nala: Oh, We Know You Will.

Kion: (Tearfully) We All Will.

Simba: Yeah. But, Kopa Will Always Be With Us, In Our Hearts And Memories.

Kion And Kiara: (Tearfully) Yeah.

Nala: (Nuzzles Kiara)

Simba: (Nuzzles Kion)

The End
