African Jungle, 2004

Next Morning, after saving the gorillas from Adrian and the poachers, Luna has finally decided where she belongs...

Here in the Jungle with Kumba!

After everything she's gone through with him and the gorillas, she decided to renounce her civilized life and career to stay and live with her one true love.

After talking about it with Monica and Uncle Felipe and earning their approval, Luna ran straight to where Kumba is, but not without stripping off ALL her clothing, shoes and everything, ending up completely naked while letting her long hair down to flow freely.

While Kumba was resting after yesterday, he heard someone calling out to him.

???: (Gorilla Language) Kumba!!

Upon getting up, Kumba turned around to see Luna naked just like the animals, from when they swam near the waterfall together.

Kumba Huh? (Blushing, Gorilla Language) Luna, Not that I mind, but why are you naked?

Luna: (Pounds her bare breasts like a gorilla, Gorilla Language) I'm staying with you, Kumba.

Kumba couldn't believe what he just heard: Did Luna say that she's staying? He might be dreaming, but he isn't.

Kumba: (Shocked, Gorilla Language) Are you serious?!

Luna: (Hugs him tenderly, Gorilla Language) Yes, I finally know where I belong: With you, the gorillas, in the Jungle...

Kumba: (Blushing) ...

Luna: (Smiles beautifully while blushing and tearing up, Gorilla Language) I love you too, Kumba...

Happy that the love of his life is indeed staying, Kumba pulls her into a tender kiss on the lips. Sure it may be weird that a gorilla and a human could kiss romantically, but to them, it was true love's first kiss.

Kumba was so, SOOOO happy that he roared and pounded his chest before scooping Luna up into his strong arms and licking her bare body to make her giggle.

Just as they were nuzzling each other with their foreheads, they saw Monica, Uncle Felipe and Dylan standing in front of them, covering their eyes due to Luna's nakedness.

Monica, being the same gender as Luna, was the only one who didn't cover her eyes as she approached her to say their goodbyes.

Monica: Who would've known you would end up living as a gorilla girl.

Luna: (Giggles nervously) Well, how else do you think I would stay with Kumba?

Monica: I'm gonna miss you, girl...

Luna: Me too, sister...

The 2 girls share their secret greeting as a way of saying goodbye and hug, before Uncle Felipe approached Luna.

Uncle Felipe: I can't believe my little niece has grown into a fine and strong woman already. Will you be able to remember us?

Luna: (Smiles beautifully) Of course I will, Uncle, I may forget how to live as a human, but I'm not going to forget about you, you were one of the few people that loved me for who I am ever since... You know.

Uncle Felipe: (Smiles back) You know, if your mother was here, then she would definitily know that you're finally where you belong, you already know what she would say.

Luna: "Never give up on whatever you want to do in life, no matter what it does to you"...

Uncle Felipe: (Starts tearing up) I'm gonna miss you so much, sweetheart...

Luna and Uncle Felipe hug goodbye, as she then goes to Kumba and grabs his massive hand.

Just then, they hear helicopters, possibly more poachers.

Dylan: (Holding Monica's hand) Guys, get out of here! We'll take care of this!

Kumba and Luna nod at each other before hiding in a bit far away bushes together and staying quiet.

Later, Once the poachers were gone without hurting anyone and Monica, Uncle Felipe, Dylan and the humans have gone back to civilization, Kumba gently places Luna on his back before climbing to a nearby tree and swinging them both through the trees where the gorillas are.

Once there, Luna climbs down and faces the gorillas, who are shocked to see her naked like them as Kumba announces something important.

Kumba: (Happy tone, Gorilla Language) Attention, everyone! Luna has decided to stay and live with us, as a part of our troop... And the Queen.

Upon hearing their King, the gorillas couldn't help but cheer while pound their chests and hooting loudly, as Luna, for the first time, feels like home, as seen when she crouches down putting her fists on the ground like Kumba and the troop do.

While watching Luna being a true gorilla on the inside despite looking human on the outside and celebrating alongside the troop, Kumba blushed and smiled, feeling truly happy for the first time in years.

Kumba: (Quiet tone, Gorilla Language) Father, I wish you'd be here...

He then feels a hand on his shoulder, turning around to see his mother, Gaika, smiling at him

Gaika: (Proud smile, Gorilla Language) I'm so proud of you, son, I'm sure your Father would be too if he was here...

Kumba: (Smiles, Gorilla Language) True, but we know that he's watching over us from above...

While playing with the gorillas, Luna couldn't help but notice something on the floor: the same pink rose she has thrown away last week out of heartbreak.

Feeling right at home with no worries, she picks it up and sniffs at it like a total gorilla before tucking it back into her ear once again

Holding hands together, Kumba and Luna lead the troop through the Jungle, walking on all fours together.
