I thought about that, I Really did. Hmm...let me re-write a few things. Pherhaps Mheetu would escort Vitani to a Pride Mufasa wants her to find a lion in? Then she falls inlove with Mheetu. BUT Vitani is slightly older though, I mean Mheetu's not to far behind them. Let me re-write a few things, that actually might work. Give me sometime. ^_^ But i like your idea.
Id have the older lion stumble upon Zira and her newborn cub inalittle bit. After the cub's born.
