Haha jeez, what's with all the cynicism about love discussions lately?!

Why'd they fall in love? I mean, why not? It just
happens. You don't go around asking every single couple why they fell in love and scrutinize whether or not they should be in love with each other. Simba and Nala were friends in a younger life. They don't see each other for a good while. They grow up. They find each other. There's elation. That elation can almost certainly become deeper if it wasn't already.
I guess I just don't see why they wouldn't/couldn't fall in love. Love just happens. And it's fairly indisputable that they were cubhood friends, probably as close-knit as could be. Strangely enough, this kinda happened inside my real life circle. Two friends of mine were really, really close in elementary school. He had to move across the country while she stayed behind. Fast forward to about two years ago, they meet again for the first time in about 8 years. Guess what? They're getting married next year. So I guess it's easier for me to accept since I've seen it play out in person!
Though if we're to go one route... I think what makes it all the more believable for Nala to claim Simba for herself is the fact that... well, who else was there? Scar? I'm sure Nala would've loooooved that, eh? ^^
