I decided to give Mheetu a life in my story. XD Same with Kopa.. I just don't like the idea...of cute cubs dying. :'[ Doesn't that make you sad too? Unless you're one of those haters.. ._.
Anywho, when Mheetu grows up, he has to leave the pride like every other male lion in a pride. Mheetu is very attacted to his family...so doesn't move on very far. While he's out looking to make a pride of his own. He stumbles upon a lioness drinking from the water hole and arguing with a herd of Zebra who seem to be taking up all the room. She is from one of the neighbouring prides. :D One that King Simba isn't supcious about. However he lets them hunt on the Pridelander's land.
She ends up becoming his mate. xD
