I Will Always Be With You

This is a songfic by PrinceBalto.

Premise
I wanted to give my friends one more fic before I left, just to thank Ginny and the others for their assistance and their kind words over the last few months. This takes place when Kion, Fuli and the others are teens. Though Scar is gone now, there are still other troublemakers, and Kion has to go with Beshte and Ono to check if the Outlanders are staying there. Kion is sad to leave his girlfriend, but they sing this song together. The song is from All Dogs go to Heaven 2.

Story
Kion was not looking forward to being away from Fuli. That cheetah, the love of his life, had long been at his side ever since the Guard formed. She was at his side when Scar nearly killed him. She nuzzled him, and she looked deeply into his eyes. The music of her soul began to stir, and she began to sing:

Fuli

I will always be with you

Makes no difference where your road takes you to

Even if we're apart

Now we're joined at the heart

Though our moment may be gone

You and I will still live on

The same music played in Kion's soul and he sang as well:

Kion

I will always be with you

I'll be by your side whatever you do

Other memories may fade

But the ones that we made

Are eternal as a star

Now I'm part of who you are

Kion and Fuli 

And I'll be there with you in the sound of your laughter

I'll be in the tears you cry

Kion

Because the way you and I have touched one another

Kion and Fuli

Doesn't end with goodbye

[Musical interlude]

Kion

I will always be with you!

Kion and Fuli

Like a guardian angel, constant and true

When you're lost in the night and you can't see the light

My love will see you through

Kion

I will always be there

Fuli

You'll have me there

Kion and Fuli

I will always be with you

Kion licked the side of her muzzle, then turned away. For a long moment, Fuli wistfully watched her brave, heroic tetrarch walk off toward the Outlands, now ready for what was to come.
