Description --

“Nice day for it, then.”

“Hmph”

“Are you excited? I’m pretty excited. Feels like a day to be excited. You?”

“As a matter of fact, I’m not.”

“Oh? I’m wounded, My Lady! I washed my mane specially and everything!”

“Really? I couldn’t tell.”

“I suppose you wouldn’t be able to from way up there, Your HIGHness.”

“Let’s just remember who’s going to be in charge after this, Consort.”

“Yes, Your Tallest.”

“Watch it, Runt.”

“…Uru?”

“What?”

“I know this isn’t... ideal or anything, for you or either of us really, but I’m pretty happy about this. It’s a beautiful day, and everybody's getting along, for once. I look good and you look good. The makeup looks really nice on you, for what it’s worth. And we’ll still get to argue about things, just more 'professionally' or something, you know?”

“…”

“And... maybe we can get actually get to really hang out together, after this. We’ll get to hang out more now, won’t we?”

“Well… yeah, obviously…”

“…Uru?”

“Yes, Moyo?”

“…you did get the makeup done, ri-?“

“Zip it, Shrimpy.”

“As My Queen commands.”

An AU idea of Rinjapine’s TLK-verse. Basically what would have happened if (her!) Mohatu had actually talked to his brother about the succession crisis, instead of listening to his asshat of a dad and just assuming the worst would happen if he didn’t 'follow the old Pride Laws'. (Which I doubt were even Pride Land laws in the first place… friggin' Jaleel! )
And so kids, the moral of the story is; NEVER ASSUME THINGS. Just go and really find out!

Still, this turn of events could really derail things, couldn’t it?
Would the Spirit Pride still antagonize the Pride Lands? Would Uru and Moyo end up repeating Rinja’s story, or follow their own path? Would there be no need for Ahadi in the future and therefore no Mufasa or Taka to inherit?
And if the Spirit Pride did decide to go to War, would Kipedo still exist and maybe become an enemy?? 8C

ANYWAY
Moyo and Uru didn’t spend much time together as cubs and they bicker a lot, but they’re pretty okay with each other, all things considered. Moyo’s a little bit smaller than average for a lion and noticeably shorter compared to his cousin, but he has never, ever let that get him down, much to Uru’s annoyance.
I don’t know why on earth Moyo turned into such a snarky little cutie-pie in my head, but that’s what happened. He also sounds like James McAvoy, for some reason.

Oh my days, the dialogue just cracked me up xD That's given a smile to my face! I love your art, so fluid and natural, your so talented, such a lovely artist. You get the atmosphere, the scene, expressions, everything, just perfect so that you could almost imagine the situation coming to life. It's amazing, trust me ~<3

I think it would had been nicer if Mohatu spared him or at least exiled him, or even used him to get a betrothal for Uru. They probably would had been good friends and that would had been nice...

I remember when Rinja designed their possible kids, maybe they could had shared power like the Three Queens...

What a fantastic, happy twist to an otherwise tragic end of Moyo. Gives me the warm flutteries, and I think Moyo and Uru would be happy together.

They probably would have been happy... Uru only grudgingly so! XD

I was about to say you did a similar idea I had for the contest, but I see you're not entering it. Not that my idea was exactly like yours(didn't use Moyo) I still think it would be different enough to stand out.
But seriously, you should enter this! Then you won't be alone wit alternate Uru wedding Ideas.XD

Rinjapine [2012-10-31 05:01:36 +0000 UTC]

i love the dialogue <3 <3
and yes, the rule about what happens to other sons comes from Jahleel's homeland, the SavannaLands. land of asshats.

and what has this James McAvoy been in? :3

animon In reply to Rinjapine [2012-10-31 15:40:26 +0000 UTC]

I knew it!
I wonder what Mohatu would think of his dear old asshat-dad if he found out about that...

James McAvoy has been in a lot of things, primarily "Atonement" [link] , "Penelope" [link] [link] , and as Charles Xavier in "X Men: First Class" (2.45) [link] .
And Mr. Tumnus in the first Narnia movie [link] . He's adorable. :3

BTW this wan't meant to be a contest entry, just me having fun. XD

I always wondered if Moyo had lived if this would be the course of action history would take.

animon In reply to Devinital [2012-10-30 23:56:44 +0000 UTC]

Indeed! According to Rinja, Rokosto would have suggested the marriage himself if Mohatu had chosen to consult him about their heirs.
Sad, but true.
