Chapter 1
As the days went on the routine was the same; wake up, draw, fix the watch, go to sleep, and go hunting every couple of days. Until one day...
"You want me to do what?!" exclaimed Oliver, a human from the real world who was magically transported into his favorite story, The Lion King, by a magical book. "We need you to cubsit the pride's cubs today," said Simba, king of the Pridelands, and the only one other an Oliver who truly knew where he was from, and where he was now. "Simba I'm flattered, but I've never bab- I mean cubsat in my life."
"Really, Oliver Jackson Williams, Boyscout, champion swimmer, and survival expert, has never once in his life cubsat?" asked Simba. "Well I am considered a kid where I'm from, and frankly people don't usually trust their kids to be taken care of by other kids," replied Oliver.
"Well here the 'kids' take turns taking care of the younger cubs during the day, while the adults work. And it's your turn now."
"Ok so then what do I do?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well usually the adults give the b- cub-sitters a list of instructions, like 'don't let them do this' or 'blank and blank aren't allowed to go near each other' you know things like that."
"Well I'm sure that we'll figure out something for you. C'mon I'll show you where we let the cubs play."
"Well this is it," said Simba. "Ok the rules are simple, keep everyone in the area and make sure no one gets killed."
"Oh, is that all?" replied Oliver.
"Don't worry just remember these basic rules. One, its ok for them to wrestle just try to keep it from getting out of hand. Two, don't be afraid to play with them, we all just wanna have fun here. And three, and most important, don't let them out of the enclosed area, this is the only place where they can be safe. And that pretty much sums it up if you need anything just yell. Now if you'll excuse me I have my own business to take care of. Oh and before I forget be sure to bring them in for lunch at noon."
"Well I'll do my best," said Oliver as Simba went away. "Ugh, what did I get myself into. Oh well here goes nothing."
The next hour was really difficult for Oliver, between trying to make sure the cubs weren't going to end up killing each other when they wrestled, and keeping everyone in the enclosed area it was an utter nightmare. "Whoever said babysitting was easy has a thing or two I'd like them to explain to me," mumbled Oliver. Then he suddenly got an idea, "Hey everyone who wants to see something really cool?!" That got their attention and all the cubs came over to see what Oliver was talking about. "What is it?" asked one lioness cub. "Who wants to see some magic?" asked Oliver. "What's that?" said the cubs in almost perfect unison. "You guys have never heard of magic?" replied Oliver, "Well let me show you some, for example check out this rock." Then Oliver picked up a rock and said, "now all I need is, ah, there it is." Oliver picked up The Book held it open and said, "bring me a marker," and in a flash of light a marker appeared. Then Oliver put his initial son the rock and showed it to the cubs, "Okay now you know what it looks like, and keep a close eye on it." Oliver held the rock in his fist and said, "Now I say the magic words. Abra Kadabra!" He unclenched his fist and the cubs saw that the rock was gone, "Where did it go?" asked one of the cubs. "Why it's right hear," said Oliver and he reached behind the cubs ear and pulled it out. "Wow!" shouted the cubs. "How do we know its the same rock?" asked one of the cubs. "Well it still has the same mark I gave it doesn't it?" said Oliver turning the rock to reveal his initials. So for the next couple of hours Oliver preformed simple magic tricks, such as Cups and Balls, guessing numbers the cubs were thinking of, etc. At least until lunch came around at noon two hours later.
