AUTHORS NOTE:
In this version of the Lion King, Jazz isn't Danny's sister and Jack is a ghost. ENJOY!
In Africa, there is a place called Amity where humans and ghosts live together in harmony. At the main part called Pride Rock, there is a house where a ghost, King Jack and his human wife Maddie live. As the sun rose over the horizon, humans and ghosts began to head over there, for today was a day of celebration
From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Jazz walked up to Jack and bowed to him while smiling, Jack then smiled back and nodded at her. He then looked down at the crowd, parting ways to the ancient ghost known as Clockwork the Master of Time. He has been a friend to the royal family for generations, he flew up the large rock and up to Jack, where the two gave each other a brotherly hug. Jack then lead Clockwork to Maddie as she held a baby in her arms, the two lovers gave each other a kiss and then she tended to the baby
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
Maddie kissed her baby on the forehead as the little boy woke up in her arms. Danny had a small patch of black hair on top of his head and icy blue eyes, the little baby looked on at Clockwork. Suddenly, a ring of light appeared and before they knew it, Danny now had white hair and green eyes. The ring appeared again and reverted the baby back to normal.
Clockwork smiled at him and took a piece of fruit, he broke it in half, dipped his thumb in the juice and then placed a mark on his forehead. He then grabbed some sand from the ground and allowed it to drop on the mark, causing Danny to sneeze, Jack and Maddie laughed at this. Clockwork then picked up the baby from Maddie's arms and headed to the edge of the cliff, he then held up the baby for everyone to see, causing the crowd to cheer at the new prince.
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
However not everyone was joining in the celebration of the new prince, in large mansion near Pride Rock was Jack's half-brother Vlad Masters or as he likes to be known as Vlad Plasmius. Vlad was adopted into Jack's family by his father, he was always jealous of Jack of how he became king instead of him.
Vlad noticed a little mouse running around and within a flash, he caught it and picked it up. He glared at it and said, "Life's not fair is it? You see I shall never be king and your life is about to end"
"Vlad" a voice said behind him. Vlad turned around and looked to see Jazz standing there with her arms crossed, he simply glared at her and tossed the mouse away. He then asked bitterly, "Oh what do you want?"
"I'm here to announce that King Jack is on his way, so you better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning and let me tell you, Jack is not happy about it" Jazz said while keeping her arms crossed.
"Oh I quiver with fear" Vlad said and then gave Jazz an evil smile. Jazz began backing away in fear and then tried to run away, but Vlad grabbed by the wrist and held it behind her back as she screamed, "HELP!"
"Vlad!" Jack yelled and then Vlad asked, "Yes?"
"Let her go" Jack said in anger. Vlad sighed and then let Jazz go, who then rubbed her sore wrist.
"Why if it isn't my adopted big brother? How are you today?" Vlad asked sarcastically.
"Maddie and I didn't see you at the presentation of Danny" Jack simply said.
"Was that today? It must've slipped my mind" Vlad said with fake shock and sympathy.
"Well as part of the royal family, you should've been first in line" Jazz said getting in Vlad's face and then backed up behind Jack as Vlad gave her that evil smile again.
"Well I was first in line, until the little rat was born" Vlad muttered in anger and then Jack said, "That little rat is my son and your future king"
"Well I shall practice my bowing and don't worry I'll show your son respect. I wouldn't want to get in a fight with you. When it comes to brains, I have. But when it comes to brute strength, I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool, even though I was adopted" Vlad said sarcastically and then transformed into his ghost form and left.
"Huh well there's one in every family sire and they always manage to find ways to ruin special occasions" Jazz said.
Jack shook his head at Vlad and then asked, "What am I going to do with him?"
"We could always allow the outsider ghost, Skulker to make him into a pelt" Jazz said smiling.
"Jazz" Jack said as he too smile.
"Oh I'm just kidding, lighten up" Jazz said, while Jack laughed and the two left the mansion and began to head home.
Later that night, in the clocktower far in the ghost zone part of the kingdom, Clockwork was painting a picture of a baby. One half of the baby had snow white hair and glowing green eyes, while the other half had black hair and blue eyes. He finished the painting, by placing a mark on the forehead of the baby, he then turned to the clock screens and re-watched today's events and said while chuckling, "Danny"
