The Lion Guard: Kopa's Presentation

Author's Note: This is a flashback fanfic.

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

Simba and Nala were settled down outside the den.

Kopa was nestled in Nala's paws.

"I can't believe it's time." Nala said.

Simba nodded.

He glanced up as Rafiki approached.

"Everyone has gathered." Rafiki said.

Simba glanced behind him at the assembled pride, Zazu, Timon, and Pumbaa.

"We're all ready." He said.

He and Nala watched Rafiki anoint Kopa, and lift him to settle on his shoulder.

Rafiki began to make his way to the Peak.

Simba and Nala stood up, and followed him.

Rafiki cleared his throat.

"I proudly present Prince Kopa." He said loudly.

He raised Kopa up, and the animals cheered loudly.

Behind Simba, the Pridelanders joined in.

Nala pressed her muzzle against Simba's cheek.

"I love you, Simba." Nala said.

"I love you too." Simba said.

He shivered as Mufasa's spirit embraced him.

"I'm very proud, my son." Mufasa said.

"Thank you, Dad." Simba said quietly.

“I love you, Simba” Mufasa said warmly.

“I love you too, Dad” Simba said.
