One Look Back {Simberlee}

Ashlee says goodbye to Simba & Berlioz.

Date: A couple days after the showcase.

@simba-bonfamille-lyons @ber-bonfamille-lyons

Ashlee

This was it, it.

As hard as saying good to Nemo was, saying goodbye to Berlioz and Simba felt even harder, even bigger. It didn’t matter that she knew she could come back anytime. She wanted to be successful, she wanted to be someone they could brag about.

And that meant entering this new chapter with her head held as high as possible and with a fighting attitude.

Still with the tracks behind them and the clock counting down until she would step on that train, she was tempted to run away. To run back to her emptyish room and hide there.

But she wouldn’t because she had the proper skills in place to handle anything thrown at her.

“If you cry I’m going to cry. So no one is allowed to cry.” Ashlee warned.

BERLIOZ: 

“Well good thing for you is I’m not much of a cryer,” joked Berlioz. 

A bit of a lie, really. Berlioz definitely cried plenty, especially when it came to stress and anxiety. But he wasn’t stressed and he wasn’t anxious. He was happy for Ashlee, eh? He was even envious of her, because here she was, getting out of Swynlake, going to her dream job in a big city – the exact thing that Berlioz wanted for himself.

How could he cry with all that? He wanted to cheer for her. So Ashlee got a smile, soft and warm and proud all at once. 

“Maybe can’t say the same for this one though…” Berlioz said, glancing at Simba. 

SIMBA:

Simba was already crying, thank you.

He was being quiet about it, but he’d been crying behind his sunglasses on the way to the train station. There was something wrong about that. It shouldn’t be a nice, sunny day on the day that Ashlee was leaving. It should be a horrible, miserable day. Grey and gloomy. 

Listen--Simba was happy for Ashlee too, but he wasn’t good at saying goodbye. He could be proud of her. And he was. (She’d come so far from the sad, scared kid that Simba and Berlioz had inherited.) He could be excited for her. And he was. But, he would also miss her. And he was already worried about her. 

And he wasn’t good at saying goodbye.

So, Simba glanced away--blinked and sniffled. He wasn’t really crying. Not proper tears. But they shined in his eyes (and one or two had definitely slipped out on the drive here). He looked back at them both.

“What? I’m not crying. It’s fine. It’s fine. You’re gonna be fine.” Simba couldn’t really tell if he was saying that for her or for him. 

Ashlee

Yeah, Ashlee wasn’t surprised about Simba crying. That was a given but she didn’t want to tear up again. This was hard enough already saying goodbye to Nemo. She wasn’t sure how she was supposed to say bye to Simba or Berlioz too.

Especially with that smile on Berlioz’s face.

It made her want to get all emotional. To have made someone that proud. It was a feeling she would never forget.

“Are you going to be fine though?” Ashlee questioned a raised eyebrow at Simba and then to Berlioz although her eyes were already starting to tear up too.

BERLIOZ: 

Berlioz smiled softly at Simba, stepping closer to his husband and putting his hand on the back of his neck. He gave it a familiar squeeze. He’d done this a hundred times before. Well, maybe closer to a thousand at this point. It was the only thing he could really do. Nothing was gonna make this easier after all. “He will. We will,” Berlioz added. He glanced back at Ashlee, and that soft smile, somehow, got even softer. He still wasn’t going to cry– he couldn’t do that. But for a moment the sun caught his warm brown eyes and they shined a bit. 

“We will miss you though,” he said honestly. “We’ll miss you a lot.” 

SIMBA:

Between Ber’s comforting squeeze and his words, Simba’s eyes started tearing up again. He couldn’t help himself. He’d always been a crier. Ever since he was a little kid. He cried when he had to leave the turtles alone at the lake even though he desperately wanted to play with them, and he cried after eating a bowl full of fresh strawberries because they were just so good, and he cried when his dad tickled him, screeching with laughter. His mum used to say his emotions were bigger than any she’d ever known.

It was embarrassing, sometimes, but for the most part--Simba had always appreciated it. He couldn’t imagine being any other way. 

He wasn’t embarrassed now. And, though he’d feel a little bit bad making Ashlee cry or think he was sad (well, he was sad, but he wasn’t all sad), he knew this was just…how he expressed himself when his heart felt too big for his chest. 

“Yeah,” Simba said, voice cracking a bit. He cleared his throat. “But don’t worry about us. Just--go and be amazing. ‘Cause you will be. Just don’t forget us little guys when you’re a famous ballerina.” 

Ashlee

“As if.” Ashlee stated very sternly, very seriously, she would never forget them, and just like that a couple tears were already starting to fall down but she was okay with it. Where once ago she would turn away or wipe them away so no one saw her cry she owned those tears.

This was going to be a hard goodbye- a hard see you later - despite it being for bigger and better things.

“You guys know you’re one of the best things that happened to me right? I’m super thankful for everything you did, for all the chances you took on me. Being the best guardian figures while being the best older brother vibes.” Ashlee mused looking at Berlioz for a moment. “And the best Dad I’ve have had.” Ashlee stated simply moving to look at Simba. Sure she didn’t say it often, in fact she may have said it less then a handful of times but if she had to call anyone her Dad it would be Simba. “I love you guys a lot. Okay? And you know me- I hate being sappy like this so take it or leave it. This is what you’re getting.” She sniffled slightly at it.

BERLIOZ: 

Older brother. Honestly – the compliment meant more than he could say. He had always thought he was a shit older brother, really. He and Marie squabbled or struggled through awkward silences. He never really knew how to talk to her, and though things were getting better between them now, there were still so many times he felt like a stranger to her, like the both of them were roleplaying what it was like to be related. So he felt bad about that. Marie deserved better.

And when Jenny came into his life… well, same thing, really. He had been so bloody worried that he wouldn’t know how to talk to her and that he’d let her down. She hadn’t asked for him. He hadn’t asked for her. Maybe he was just kind of shitty at it? 

But things had been better with Jenny. And there were probably loads of reasons for that, but one of them was definitely Ashlee, who had taught him more about being quiet, but present– supportive and understanding, even of each other’s differences.

So he was grateful to her too. So grateful he couldn’t put it to words, he really couldn’t. 

“I’ll take it. Thanks,” he told her quietly. “Just know– you always got family with us.” 

It wasn’t much, but he meant it with his whole heart. 

SIMBA:When Simba and Berlioz had decided to adopt Ashlee, it hadn’t even been a choice, really. It had been the right thing to do. It had been the only thing to do. But that didn’t mean it hadn’t changed Simba too. With Kiara, she’d always been his in a way. They’d known each other nearly their whole lives. Kiara coming back into his life was like remembering a piece of his heart that had been lost between couch cushions, just waiting to be rediscovered. 

Ashlee was different.

Ashlee was brand new. She taught Simba patience and how to be there for someone without knowing them first. And she’d taught him resilience. And even if she hadn’t taught him anything at all: he’d gotten to watch her bloom. That was the most amazing part. 

The Ashlee that stood before him right now, on her way to London and her dreams, was an entirely different girl than the one who they’d taken home from the courthouse that day. She’d gained a voice and confidence. She stood taller. She laughed more.

That was the greatest gift. Her laugh and her smile--and her love. 

Simba didn’t care if she ever called him dad. He was just happy that they’d found each other. That they’d all found each other. 

Words, to him, weren’t enough to express this. Instead, he stepped forward and leaned down to wrap Ashlee up in a tight hug, tears spilling over as he squeezed his eyes shut. 

“I’m so proud of you,” he told her, holding her close. “We love you too.” 

Ashlee

A bell rang behind them, a single she needed to get on the train sooner than later even though for a moment she was tempted to just not. This is where she felt the happiest, the safest, despite all the challenges.

But she hadn’t been raised to hide from a challenge, and she knew Simba and Berlioz wanted this for her, Nemo wanted this for her.

She would excel, she would grow and she would have a great future, with a family cheering her on. Blood or not. This was her family.

Pulling them in for one more hug, Ashlee squeezed them as tightly as she could (Without hurting anyone).

With one final nod, one to say she got this, to say she knew they had her back, to say everything would be okay. Ashlee grabbed her last back and headed onto the train.

To bigger and better things and when she looked back, it was only with fond memories and smiles and a lot of love.

[jenny-marshfoxworth]

Jenny was thinking about quitting. She was only the understudy after all it would be fine wouldn't it? She was sure a lot of people wanted the chance to play Sandy so they could get the chance.

It would be better then in the off chance some reason her and Ed had to act together. Sure it wasn't likely that Jer and Candace would both get sick on the same night but who knew.

It was just awkward. Maybe she shouldn't have broken up with him till after the play?

Jenny wasn't too sure.

But you know who might have answers. The Director. So she was off to find him.

"Simba! I have a question for you. What's the likelihood of two understudies having to perform at the same time? It's just that I just broke up with Ed and that would be so hella awkward."

Understudy for the Understudy? {Jenny & Simba}

[elliot-morey]

The thought of her growing up and having her own opinions made Elliot grimace. Not because he didn't want it, but because right now was easy. When he didn't have to worry about making her happy because it was easy.

Making her happy as she grew and had thoughts and opinions would get a whole lot harder.

It would be worth it. But hard as hell and he wasn't sure he would ever be ready for that.

WELCOME TO SUPER SOCIETY

In a world where super-abilities, or ‘quirks,’ have become the norm, a new Super Society has risen! Now, academies train children into becoming superheroes, and governments issue licenses to these heroes to keep law and order. The greatest heroes establish agencies and get paid the most, while those with less fortunate quirks must live as second-class citizens… and the least satisfied and most neglected of society might even transform into villains… 

The most accomplished and revered Pro Hero Academy is Swyn Academia, where the beloved ex-hero Lion’s Roar (Simba Bonfamille-Lyons) now teaches. A new school year has just begun, ushering in a beloved school tradition: a sports festival!

Class 1-A and 1-B will compete to show off their quirks, while Professional Heroes arrive at the school to scope out promising talent. But they’re not the only ones in the crowd… the League of Villains has infiltrated and is hoping to grow their army. Danger lurks. It’s time to suit up!

[Full Doc Here]

[I assigned every single character in the RP a fun Quirk! Read that here...please i hyperfixated on it.]

[ashlee-bonfamille-lyons]

Ashlee nodded, she wouldn't miss it. Even if her start date had been before it she would make sure to come back for it. The same way she would find the time in the future to come back for Simba and Berlioz's birthdays, for Holidays when she could. After all she wouuld have lots of performances.

Well that was the goal.
