1The sun was barely up when Harry had finished dressing. He was wearing a white pair of pants, a white shirt, and a white hoody. Nala had gotten into the habit of learning to make clothes for her son.
Yes, her son. Harry happy at getting a chance at a second family and he made a promise to himself to make this one work out. He also felt kind of nervous. No one knew that Harry was the king's son. They knew he was still living on Pride Rock, but no one dared to raise a question against him. What if the other animals didn't accept him as one of them. He would just be a stranger among the midst of others.
Harry was adjusting his clothes inside the den when Nala came in to check on him.
"Do you like your knew...what was it called...outfit?" she asked as she went over to stand next to him.
"Yes," said Harry. "It's nice, but why white?"
"White shows of purity and it's more casual than...jeans." answered Nala. "You're an important person in this kingdom. You hold a special place. You must always be clean."
She stood up on her hind legs and began to lick Harry's hair trying to make it lie flat. Harry squirmed and tried to push the lioness away. After two minutes she abandoned her attempt.
"Doesn't it ever lay flat?" she asked as she watched Harry mess up his hair to the original position.
"No," answered Harry. "Besides, this is my mane. You have no right to mess it up."
Nala chuckled and neither of them noticed Simba as he walked in the room with a baby cub in his mouth. This cub was his little sister, Kiara. She was the same color as Simba and had matching eyes. Harry loved his sister to him she was the sweetest thing in the world.
"Are you two ready?" asked Simba between clenched teeth. "The Ceremony is about to start."
During the ceremony, Harry would be introduced as Simba's son alongside Kiara. Simba had decided to let him become the Human Prince early. It wasn't like two years early, but rather a few months early.
Harry followed the three lions out of the cave and saw that the sun was still being shy about coming up. He looked over the side of the cliff and saw numerous of animals coming towards Pride Rock.
Here is a lion and a tiger
Here is a lion and a tiger
Here is a lion and a tiger
Here is a lion and a tiger
Night
And the spirit of life
Calling
Oh, oh, iyo
Listen
Oh, oh, iyo
Harry watched as the animals walked alongside their families just as they had done in Simba's ceremony. This time they were gathering around for his and Kiara's. The sun began to rise lighting up the sky a little. Harry watched Rafiki, who was on the edge of the cliff, beckoning the animals forward.
Throne of ancestors
Oh, son of nation
The sun was now visible creating a orange color in the sky. It soon turned to crisp blue. Birds now joined the other animals that were heading towards Pride Rock.
Wait
There's no mountain too great
Oh, oh, iyo
Hear the words and have faith
Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith
Hey, listen
Hey, listen
(Rafiki gestures to the sky.)
He lives in you
Hey, listen
He lives in me
Hey, listen
He watches over
Hey, listen
Everything we see
Hey, listen
Into the water
Hey, listen
Into the truth
Hey, listen
In your reflection
Hey, listen
He lives and you
Harry, Nala, and Simba, who still had Kiara in his mouth, appeared on the edge of the cliff with Rafiki. Harry now had a better view of all the animals. They were looking up at the cliff anticipating what would happen next.
Rafiki gently took Kiara out of Simba's arms and gestured to Harry. They walked closer to the edge of the cliff. Rafiki placed a crown on the top of Harry's head. It was white, along with everything else he was wearing, and was crested with pieces of quartz that shone brightly in the now fully risen sun.
Rafiki turned towards the animals and rose Kiara into the bright sun. The animals looked at one another for a moment. A chill went through the air. It had never taken this long for the animals to cheer and bow.
They didn't accept me, thought Harry.
Then suddenly, the animals began to cheer and bow. Harry's heart leapt and the wind began to blow it's approval from the past kings. Blue feathers ran across Harry's face and went straight up his nose. He gave a sneeze and Kiara laughed.
He lives in you
Hey, listen
He lives in me
Hey, listen
He watches over
Hey, listen
Everything we see
Hey, listen
Into the water
Hey, listen
Into the truth
Hey, listen
In your reflection
Hey, listen
He lives and you
Nala walked over to where Rafiki was and gave her daughter a hug while Simba nuzzled up against his son. They then traded places. Simba hugged his daughter and Nala hugged her son.
Here is a lion and a tiger
Here is a lion and a tiger
Here is a lion and a tiger
Timon and Pumbaa had been watching the whole ceremony from the side lines.
"Look at that, Pumbaa," said Timon. "A chip off the old block. And you gotta know who's going to raise him."
"His parents?"
"Yeah, sure get technical, but who's going to teach him the important stuff. Like how to belch." he gave a loud belch. "And dig for grubs. I'm telling you, it'll be like old times. You, me, and the little guy."
"My sister is a girl," said Harry.
"Girl..." Timon automatically corrected.
"Girl!?" said Timon and Pumbaa in a unison, then they fell onto the ground pretending to have fainted.
Author's Notes: I used the english version of the song so people would understand what those words mean. Review if you like.
