SO. SINCE EVERYBODY ALWAYS MAKES UP A SAD END FOR KOPA AND MHEETU. I MADE UP A HAPPY ONE 8D WHY? CAUSE I'M IN A GOOD MOOD AFTER JUST WATCHING AN HOUR OF NON STOP PUPPIES PLAYING.
Anywho~ Instead of them dying as they're both cubs. I was thinking that Mheetu could've ran over to Malka's pride and live there while it was Scar's reign~ So he survived and grew up to be all nice and healthy and happy. While with Kopa. He was out exploring one day when Zira got a hold of him. Mheetu rescued him and then Simba and Nala asked him to take Kopa away and raise him by himself. So that away Mheetu would be safe.
