Well first off, before I start the explaining summary, I would first off like to explain that this story is my 100th one. 100 stories since I first joined this site in the June of 2014. Thank you all who are reading this right now.
You know that scene in "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" where all the animals start stacking on one another while the music plays? If you look closely, you'll find that there's a row of anteaters in it. Normally this would be just ignored, until you realize that there are no anteaters in Africa, only in Central and South America, so the animators made a geographical error. I guess the artists didn't realize aardvarks were in Africa and that they could use them instead. Then I recently got a Guest review mentioning how this bit might be a statement for invasive species, and then this thought turned into a short, crackfic idea.
I own nothing. The Lion King and all its content belong to Disney. I don't own the cover image either.
Enjoy the story!
After the pyramid of animals had toppled and everyone had miraculously came out unscathed, he and the others had made their swift escape before anyone became suspicious or curious.
His band of long-nosed and tongued, ant devourers had soon come across a place where a towering termite mound stuck out from the ground. It took a few tries with their long claws to break through the tower's cement, brick like exterior, but they managed to get through in the end.
After belching into song and performing for the sake of the prince using mellifluous pleasantries to put a point across the the royal majordomo, it was decided they would break there for a snack. And while termites weren't as tasty or filling as the ants were back home in their opinions, it still would sustain them and keep their bellies full.
However, in the midst of their feasting, a duo of aardvarks, a mother and child, were seen approaching the mound, so their mealtime was interrupted as they were forced to move elsewhere. It wasn't like they had nothing against their insect-eating brethren, it would be a bit shocking to them if they revealed themselves. They were afraid it might cause a fuss in the Pridelands, knowing some foreign visitors had decided to invade their land.
And they had heard word around that aardvarks could be quite protective in these parts about their feeding grounds, so avoiding conflict there was a good idea.
Now onto the main point, why was a small group of anteaters in Africa in the first place? Well the answer to that was simple. It wasn't because they had lost their homeland or been run out by other beings or they just decided to expand their specie's range on the world by invading other lands. It was simply because there were no random flash mobs in Central/South America lately so the anteaters decided to migrate, A.K.A. vacation, in Africa until things changed back home.
Which probably wouldn't be too long, considering Carnaval was just around the corner soon. They'd be back in South America before the next scene happened.
Short, but this is all I really got... My 100th story everyone. Yay! Thanks for reading, whether you've been with me for quite awhile or just reading my works now. Please leave a review with some feedback, it's always appreciated, and stay tuned for my new stories yet to come. Sincerely, v.t.7
