They're actually a lot of fun, you know...

[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.]

[sandhate]

[ 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 ]

[resnipstance]

[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.]

[sandhate]

[ He kind of leans over and stage whispers. ]

Hell of a movie you picked out. How about I pick next time.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka can't help it-- she laughs despite herself, surreptitiously wiping something out of her eye.]

Fair call.

[At least they have Hakuna Matata now to soothe their wounded souls from Mufasa's death?]

[sandhate]

[ HAKUNA MATATA IS ANNOYING.

DID THAT KID JUST FORGOT HE LEFT HIS FATHER'S CORPSE TO HIS EVIL UNCLE.

WHAT IS THIS.

FUCKING AWFUL, THAT'S WHAT.

HOW DO YOU EVEN FORGET THAT--

There's a lot of scoffing and eye rolling through the song. ]

[resnipstance]

[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.

[sandhate]

[ He just.





Drags his hands over his face and groans. ]

Tell me when it's over. This is unbearable.

[ IT'S SO WRONG ]

[resnipstance]

Awww! I think it's kind of cute. They love each other! I thought you were all about romance?

[sandhate]

Don't get snippy.

[ aka IT'S ONLY OKAY WHEN I DO IT ]

How old are you again? I thought you were pass being 13 and annoying.

[resnipstance]

I don't know. Older than the guy who makes faces over two people making out.

[sandhate]

[ He gives her a look ]

"Make out"?

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka pauses, unsure.]

... What? That's what you call it, right? Kissing?

[sandhate]

[ More of that look ]

That's not language I would've taught you. Tell me where you learned it from, Ahsoka.

[resnipstance]

[Half amused, half exasperated:]

I have ears, you know! I can actually pick up stuff other people say without needing to be taught it.

[sandhate]

[ Ignoring ]

Oh no, don't tell me. You must have heard it from Master Plo. Because you know so many people that I don't from the Temple.

Unless... you learned it here.

[resnipstance]

[Totally ignoring the movie now:]

Who said those are my only two options?

[sandhate]

[ A deep frown ]

... Rex?

[resnipstance]

[Eyebrow raise. As if.]

Please.

[sandhate]

[ Look, he heard the clones talking about girls. So!! ]

Hn.

[ Back to the movie... Or not ]

On Onderon?

[resnipstance]

Anakin, I don't live in a bubble! I definitely knew what making out was before Onderon.

[sandhate]

... Felucia?

[ He shakes his head ]

You know what. I don't want to know. Just don't say "make out" in front of me.

[ He still remember when she was 13 after all ]

[resnipstance]

[Is that the tiniest of nefarious grins on her face? Probably.]

I'll keep that in mind. [FOR NEFARIOUS PURPOSES.]

Also, we're missing the movie.

[We're up to the end of Nala reaming Simba out for his "Hakuna Matata" lifestyle and their subsequent massive argument.]

[sandhate]

[ He rolls his eyes and returns to the damn movie. He could do without the massive argument, it's a bit too close to home. Abandoning the war for their own selfish reasons.

He grumbles ] You're not picking movies again.

[resnipstance]

What! It's supposed to be a classic!

[If you thought Simba and Nala arguing was bad, wait til you get to Simba having Dead Dad feels at the sky. "You said you'd always be there for me! But you're not..." and then fun times with Mufasa's cloud ghost-- "You have forgotten who you are. And so you have forgotten me. Remember... who you are."]
