Once they made it to the eating area Nala seen Timon holding a big leaf of something covered by another leaf, Nala:" so what is there to eat?" Timon:" your about to find out" he says as she sits next to Simba, Nala:" let me guess is it uh... Zebra?" Simba:" nope" Nala:" ok antelope" Pumbaa:" Nope" Nala:" hippo?" she says with her ears starting to flat Timon:" nope" Nala:" anything?!" Timon:" there is something" he says uncovering the plate filled with bug grubs. Nala's jaw and ears dropped in disgust, Simba:" it don't look that bad is it?, besides you did say you'll eat anything" Nala:" when I meant everything I didn't mean-" Timon:" come on try it" he says as Pumbaa takes a mouthful on his pile of food while Simba picks his off one by one on his pile. Nala with her mouth still down in disgust, Simba:" think of it as survival of the fittest, it's either life or death" as soon he said that a rumble in Nala's stomach hinting she's hungry Nala sighed "fine, I'll try one" she says picking up a pinkish caterpillar " I can't believe I'm doing this" she says before putting the insect in her mouth then swallowing it. Simba:" so?" Nala smacks her mouth tasting the weird flavors Nala:" um... it's better than I expected I guess" Simba:" see it's not half bad" Nala smiles at him then picked up a yellow ladybug like of bug and eats it with a different taste making her have a gag reflex but keeping it down and swallowing the bug.
Nala:" oh that one wasn't good" Simba giggled as him, Timon and Pumbaa were already finished which all they're doing is looking at the face of Nala's everytime she eats a different bug, Nala:" you know I'm starting to get used to the taste" she says taking more bites than just slow picks Simba smiled Timon:" see what we tell ya". After a few minutes Nala has finished her bug meal, Nala:" I haven't eaten like that in a long while" Pumbaa:" glad you enjoyed it" he says as Timon yawns, Timon:" wow sun down already?" he says looking at the sky turning darker and darker as the others look up also. Simba:" hey Nala, wanna look up at the stars like old times?" he says asking his best friend Nala:" sure, that will be wonderful" then Pumbaa yawns Pumbaa:" well Simba when you two are ready to sleep you know where to sleep" he says starting to walk towards the sleeping area with Timon following saying " good night" both Simba and Nala:" good night" Simba gets up " follow me to a perfect spot" Nala didn't argue or said anything but did as told.
Once Simba and Nala gotten to the area where Simba first looked at the stars with Timon and Pumbaa, Nala looks up at the stars noticing they're more larger and beautiful, Nala:" wow, it's beautiful" says as both her and Simba lay next to each other in the green grass. With the full moon shining down on the earth and when Simba looked at Nala the moonlight makes her fur more lighter and with her blue eyes it's making him have feelings, Simba:" uh yeah, you are" he says accidentally saying those words and hopes she didn't notice, Nala did heard it:" what did you say?" she says smiling, and blushing. Simba:" huh I.. uh.. um I" Simba tried to find words to cover it, but he knew there's no use so he gave in Simba:" your beautiful" says looking at her smiling with her smiling back and blushing Simba:" I'd never thought I had the guts to say anything but your the most beautiful lioness I've ever seen, and with the moonlight shining and your beautiful ocean blue eyes just made my heart melt" he says smiling at Nala which who is as happy as she could be.
Nala then nuzzles him and before he could say anything else she gives him a lick to his cheek catching by surprised again as she gives him the loving eyes, making Simba smile and nuzzles her. Nala:" when I was told that you died along with your father, I... I didn't know how to respond to that or know what to do, I was lost, so on the following night when I was alone looking at the star I just broke down knowing that I wasn't gonna see you again or have anyone to talk to anymore" Simba kept his head close to hers as she tells the story " and when I found you, I didn't what the feel but the only emotion that came to me was joy, happiness, relieved just happy to be with you again with my heart pounding rapidly and want to ask you um..." she stops wanting to ask what's she's about to ask but because she knows it's a kings decision to ask so she decided against it and tries to think of something to change the subject. Simba is now curious wanting to know what she wants " is there something wrong?" Nala found her chance to switch to a different subject " uh no I got lost in thought" she says lying to him.
Simba:" so what is it that you want?" Nala:"hmm" she says trying to avoid the subject Simba:" you stopped talking about you said want" Nala:" oh, uh" Simba notices she trying to avoid the subject Simba:" Nala whatever it is please tell me, for the sake of my worries" he then nuzzles her. She nuzzles back Nala:" (sigh), I was gonna ask if um" Simba:" if?" Nala:" you wanted to um... me to be your queen?" Simba:" Nala we talked about this I'm not the king" Nala:" yes you are, you're the son of the once great king and the once great queen also known as your mother and father" Simba:" (sigh) I might be in a royal family tree but that doesn't mean anything that relates to me" Nala:" yes it does, you being the youngest in the tree makes you next in line for the thrown which you are, meaning you are the king" Simba didn't want to argue anymore Simba:" (sigh) lets not talk about that..." he says in a soft tone of voice Nala looked at him and didn't want to argue either.
Nala:" (sigh) might be best" she says then nuzzling him "so since you've learned how to make a lionesses heart melt from words, I want to hear more" she says rolling over to where she's laying on her stomach on top of Simba's stomach looking into Simba's red amber colored eyes. Simba gives her nose and her upper lip a lick which she does the same then nuzzling him. Simba thinks of a good heart melting comment to tell Nala which who is waiting, Simba:" your beautiful fur lights up the night like fireflies and with your amazing ocean blue colored eyes, lights up the night like the wonderful moon" Nala smiles ear to ear Nala:" I thought I'd never hear such beautiful words about me" says then giving Simba a couple of licks on his face in different spots. Simba:" your licks are as soft as the grass but you give me looks that are as hard to avoid as the morning sun" after he says that he sees a flash of green behind Nala then several more towards the jungle and all around.
Nala was confused on what Simba was looking at as she looks behind her to see the yellow green flashing lights from the tiny bugs, Nala:" wow, fireflies" she says turning around on to her back but still on Simba with his head over hers looking at the tiny flashing bugs. Nala notices the way the moonlight is shining, the way shes positioned, and the amount of fireflies flashing, Nala:" this is really romantic" Simba nuzzles while saying " it really it" Nala looked up to where they're about half an inch away from each others mouth and licked with him licking back. Nala:" I love you" Simba:" I never thought I'll ever hear those words, and I love you too" he says then giving Nala a lick to her forehead. Several hours later as the fireflies started to disappear the two lion couple has already fallen asleep next to each other, Nala is twitching her legs rapidly hint of a very scary nightmare, inside of her nightmare it's her at in the pride lands being chased by the hyenas up and down the land with no where else to go like if the outer borders of the land disappeared or fallen off the face of the Earth, as she's running she sees Simba unable to move due to broken legs desperately trying to move but not one movement.
Nala tried to stop and help but the hyenas were right on her tail about to jump on her to eat her and Simba, but Simba had enough strength to push Nala out of the range of the hyena attack as the hyenas lands on him and started to tear flesh off of him. Nala tried to push them off but when she did he was already dead, Nala treading tears from her eyes and above her in the sky is a lion ghost like figure who looks like Mufasa and Simba nodding in disappointment as Nala cries her eyes out and stays there with her yelling "NO...NO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING, NO!" as she cries sobbing. (end of nightmare) Nala wakes up screaming waking up Simba frightening him in worry fear, Simba:" Nala you ok?!" he says looking at the scared lioness who is soaked in little sweat and tears Nala:" I... you were dead, killed by hyenas, both you and your father disappointed, and" she couldn't hold the tears of fear any longer as she lets them flow, Simba nuzzles and tries to comfort her " I'm still here, I'm not dead, don't worry I'm still here" he says calming her down but she don't want to sleep at the same nightmare. Simba:" if it makes you feel any better I had a similar nightmare of you dieing but being thrown off the gorge walls like my father did, I didn't know what to feel but just decided to jump after you" hinting suicide as they both nuzzle each other. Simba:" if you want you can lay and sleep on me if it helps" Nala:" it might" she says getting on top on Simba who is laying on his back then back to sleep this time with no interruptions.
About two months went by Simba decided to run back home and take his place as king defeating Scar, and restored the peace to the pride lands. With the morning sun rising Simba is again as always the first one up to see everyone still asleep with Nala sleeping next to her mother. Simba has been so busy on trying to get the peace of the pride lands restored he forgot about the queen label is still vacant and needs to ask some lioness to continue the circle of life and to be Simba's lover forever as he carefully walks out of the cave feeling the cool fresh air hit his face and make his mane dance while doing so. Simba went up the rock to look over the land seeing life slowly wake back up, as he looks he hears someone behind him he looks to see a just woken up Nala yawning and stretching. Simba:" wow she's really beautiful and cute when she wakes up in the morning and stretches" he says in his head.
Nala sees Simba and smiles at him walking towards him, Nala:" you look strong and proud standing up here" Nala then stops remembering something "how selfish I almost forgot" she then bows to Simba "your majesty" Simba smiles and giggles " you don't have to do that". Nala:" well you are king" she then walks up to sit next to him to watch the sunrise with him "so is there any questions you wanna ask me?" she asks trying to give a hint to Simba about the queen label but Simba doesn't catch it. Simba:" uh, how did you sleep?" Nala sighed hearing not what she meant but answered anyways thought of a different strategy " better then the previous nights sleeping here now I don't have to worry about a hyena biting me or Scar killing me in my sleep" Simba:" I'm glad to hear that" he said smiling at his best friend.
Few hours go by as Simba left to patrol the lands making sure everything is going peacefully while Nala and the other lionesses stay at pride rock, Nala lays with her mother, Sarabi, and several other lionesses who are napping, in the shade of new grown trees next to pride rock chatting. Sarafina:" I am so happy to wake up in peace in our own home" Sarabi:" me too, last night is the best I've slept in a long while" Nala wasn't paying attention instead she stares off into space wondering as her mother noticed, Sarafina:" something wrong Nala?" Nala snapped back into reality "hmm?, oh... nothing" she said in a tone that sounds defeated. Sarafina:" don't you lie to your mother, I know when my cub is upset" Nala couldn't argue with that and sighs " do you think... Simba still love me?" Sarabi:" of course he does" Sarafina:" what makes you say that?" Nala:" well the queen label is still vacant respectfully after you" she says referencing Sarabi " and well I tried giving him hints but he never caught them" Sarabi:" if I know my son he still loves you, and if anything he's been busy trying to restore peace" Nala:" I understand that but couldn't he at least tell me, after he's done patrolling?" Sarafina:" he probably forgets, because he does patrols everyday, so when he's gonna tell ya he forgets when he gets back".
Meanwhile on Simba's patrolling, Simba is walking a path, the path his father used to take for patrols as he walks with flying Zazu. Simba:" I don't know Zazu" Zazu fly's low to hear what Simba is saying, Simba:" doesn't Nala know she's queen already?, like this morning I've noticed she was hinting a question and by my guess wanting to be my queen, but she already is" Zazu:" hmm, well sire, you could just tell her or do it in a romantic way by continuing to be busy and once you two are alone and she snaps a little and she rants you tell her she already is" Simba thought for a second " I might do that, Thanks Zazu", Zazu:" anytime for the king your majesty". An hour goes by as Simba returns home, Nala sees him and the sun going down giving her an idea, Nala:" hey mom" Sarafina who is next to her with Sarabi in the same spot they were Sarafina:" yes Nala?" Nala:" me and Simba will be out for tonight to look at the stars" Sarafina smiled "ok" Nala then gets up and walks to where he can meet Simba at.
