Great! Okay-- you get comfortable, I'll set it up.
[And she does so-- the data chips are compatible with their comms devices, so she takes hers off and sets it up on the table to project in front of them on the wall. Her energy seems happy as she does so-- it's so different to anything they had a chance to do back home. Everything there was always about the war, about fighting. Even down-time was spent training in anticipation of when the next mission would be. Simply relaxing and kicking back with a holo that was purely for entertainment, not training-- well, they've never really done it before.
In a way, it's a demonstration of what she said when she bullied him into dancing with her-- that she intends to take advantage of the free time they have here. To do things differently.
She looks back to Anakin when she's finished setting up.]
[ He is gently amused at how excited Ahsoka seems to be. It's Earth culture, he's not very impressed by what he's seen so far so naturally, he shares none of that excitement. Anakin leans back on the couch situated in his room and stretches his long limbs out then his arms crosses expectedly. ]
Oooh, Earth holos. [ An eye roll here ] I can't imagine what I'll need to get ready for.
[ He brightens momentarily, brows quirked. ]
Maybe a nap.
[ Yes, he's going to laugh at his own joke. This room is a judgement free zone when it comes to his wit and jokes ok. ]
[Ahsoka just rolls her eyes with a fond smile before hitting play and coming over to plonk herself down on the couch next to him.]
You think you're so funny.
[Just as she sits down, the opening image flashes up-- the rising sun and that famous opening song-- Naaaaaaants ingonyama bagithi baba!!-- as the animals all march towards Pride Rock to The Circle of Life.
Interestingly enough, the implanted translators don't seem to work on the Zulu lyrics.]
[Ahsoka just shrugs innocently, like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.]
I don't know. It's called "The Lion King." It's supposed to be good!
[Just as she says that, the title flashes at the end of opening sequence. There you go. Then we get Scar, playing with the mouse for his dinner and giving his little evil villain monologue.]
Ah. Bet you he's the bad guy. [No shit, Sherlock.]
[ Anakin sinks further into his seat and continues to watch, humming in agreement. It's only when Zazu is introduced to the screen that he suppresses a laugh with his hand.
[Ahsoka also laughs for a second and then guiltily tries to suppress it with a hand as well.]
Anakin! That's-- you're terrible!
[No, it's too true, and Ahsoka can't stop giggling. She calms down as the timeskip happens and Simba drags Mufasa up Pride Rock to look at the land, they talk about the delicate balance of the universe and the great circle of life.]
... You know, you travel across entire universes, only to end up right back at Jedi philosophy. Seriously, this sounds like it could've come straight out of the Temple.
[ He just gives her a look. Fond, amused, what the hell are you doing? It's all mixed in.
An odd thought comes to him then. He hasn't seen Ahsoka as a teenager, doing teenager things, for more than a year in their time. But she is, and he forgets that. He focus back at the movie. ]
I don't know, Snips. I have a bad feeling about this.
[Considering the scene that follows is the elephant graveyard scene...]
... Uh-oh. ... I'd say you're right about that.
[Despite facing down way scarier things in real life, Ahsoka can't help but be transfixed to the screen during the tense high-speed chase through the grey graveyard of bones. Unconsciously, one hand goes to her mouth when Nala falls during the escape.]
[ He grumbles something about younglings. Somewhere in the back of his consciousness, he's avoiding thinking about what kind of trouble his children would get into. What sort of lives they would have led if they were all together. If Obi-Wan would really be relegated to a Zazu-like role.
But he spreads a hand and looks accusingly at the screen. ]
And this is why I would never take on the Gathering missions.
[As Mufasa rescues the cubs and leads them away in disgrace and disappointment, Ahsoka says in a whisper:]
Oh no, he's so angry... poor Simba.
[Ahsoka thinks she can understand Simba's feelings. She's remembering doing a few of her own totally bone-headed stunts in the old days, hoping to impress Anakin but only pissing him off when he worried about her instead.]
[ He also remembers his own bone-headed stunts. 14 years old and thinking he could help his Master on an investigation, only to be drugged by a Sith cult. He sighs, refusing to dwell on it much. ]
No. That's the only way he learns.
[ He's quiet through the stampede scene. Definitely a I don't want to talk about it moment ]
[Ahsoka's quiet too. The scene is too sad for any kind of commentary. But at some point she grabs his hand unconsciously, without even thinking about it. For moral support for herself, of course.]
[Ahsoka elbows him at least once while he's scoffing. CHILL ANAKIN IT'S JUST A HOLO.
Speaking of Evil Uncles...
Zazu is being kept in a cage by Scar, singing awfully, and Shenzi is complaining to Scar on behalf of the hyenas about the lack of food in the Pridelands. What was now a rich grassland now looks like a desert.
Back to Timon and Pumbaa-- ENTER NALA. BEGIN CHASE SCENE. END CHASE SCENE. Cue Simba and Nala's dramatic reunion!! Cue...
"I can see what's happening..." "What?" "And they don't have a clue." "Who?" "They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line-- our trio's down to two." "Oh."
As "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" works up into full swell, Ahsoka jokingly leans over and covers Anakin's eyes. Teasingly:]
Uh-oh! Better cover your innocent eyes Anakin 'til you're old enough for this one.

It comes in full... [ He almost snorts ] circle.
[ It's Scar and Simba talking right now and Anakin groans, rubbing his temples. He still can't believe his former Padawan dragged him into this. ]
If only bad guys are always that easy to identity.
no subject
[It just goes to show-- sometimes the bad guys we're looking for are right under our noses, she thinks. Palpatine.
But Simba and Nala go off on their excursion to the water hole with Zazu playing chaperone, and "I Just Can't Wait to be King" comes on...
Ahsoka starts moving her head in time to the music-- just a little. She can't help it.]
