I don't own the Lion King

This is a little silly fanfic but even the best lion actors and actresses deserve to win something. Enjoy :D

The African sun slowly rose through the horizon as a king walked towards Pride Rock. He closed his eyes and let the warmth from the sun's rays hit his fur, creating a bright golden-yellow color. He took a deep breath and inhaled the fresh air through his nostrils and allowed it to fill his lungs. The king opened his eyes and noticed the zebras, buffaloes antelopes, and other creatures gathered around him. Usually, the animals gathered when something was wrong with the Pride, if he had an announcement, or if he was to have another cub. However, he respectfully bowed to the animals and they bowed back to him.

"We gotta go, we gotta go!" a voice as heard behind him. The lion king, named Mufasa, turned his head and saw a meerkat and warthog running out of the den.

"What is the hurry?" Mufasa asked the meerkat named Timon and warthog named Pumbaa.

"Haven't you heard?" Timon asked, "Pumbaa and me have been selected to host the African Oscars."

"Oscars?" Mufasa asked as he raised an eyebrow at the word that sounded foreign to him.

"Every single lion and animal that's an actor and actress has been nominated by every single Africa animal to attend to the Oscars so see who has won!" Timon excitedly said, "and you my friend, are one of those nominated lions."

"I am?" Mufasa asked.

"You, Simba, Nala, everybody," Timon said, "and of course Scar, the Out Landers, and the hyenas who I don't even want to look at."

"Let's just hope that they don't win anything," Pumbaa said. "They don't deserve anything."

That would be my brother Mufasa thought. He was also a bit uneasy about going because he knew that he would have to face his brother. However, he had to go and respect the voters that were going to be there. He looked behind him when he heard paw steps stepping out of the den. He saw Sarafina, Sarabi, Simba, Nala, Kovu, and Kiara walking out of the den followed by the rest of the pride. He smiled at them and told them what Timon and Pumbaa had told him.

"Oh Timon told us about it alright," Simba said as he smoothed his mane.

"Really?" Mufasa asked as he gave Timon and Pumbaa a smirk, "and where will this little event take place."

"At a beautiful oasis that we specifically named 'Hakuna Matata,'" Pumbaa told him. "Timon and I are going there right now to set up the place for you guys."

"We have also let Zazu notify the Out Landers, hyenas, and your brother to come as well," Timon miserably said, "I don't know why but for some reason, the creatures had nominated them to participate."

"And this is where I say again that I hope they win nothing," Pumbaa said as him and Timon turned around and walked to their destination.

Mufasa turned his attention back to his family and pride. "So what are you up to?" he asked them.

"We were going to go to the water hole to get cleaned up," Kiara answered her grandfather, "would you like to come?"

Mufasa smiled at his granddaughter. It was good to see her again after finishing the movie and rejoicing with his family and granddaughter and her boyfriend. However, he was still Scar's, the hyenas', and the Out Landers' enemy. He pushed that thought aside and said, "then what are we waiting for?" and ran ahead of his family with Kiara running after him.

The Pride Landers were not the only ones that were nominated. In the depths of Africa, a dry, hot land with almost no life around was a group of strong lionesses that wanted their revenge on the Pride Landers. Zira was the most jealous of all the lionesses. Her ultimate goal was to kill Simba after he had overthrown Scar and banished her and the pride to the Out Lands. She was surprised to have heard from Zazu that she and her family had been nominated to participate in the African Oscars. She hoped that she would win everything, so she could show Simba with whom he was messing with. Now was just the time for them to get ready.

A lion with a black mane was perched on a rock and lazily bathed into the sunlight. He was enjoying this peace and quiet until a flapping noise was heard above him. He snapped his eyes open and saw a colored majordomo hovering over his head. He groaned and rolled onto his stomach and exasperatingly asked, "what do you want?"

"I'm here to announce that you have been nominated to participate in the African Oscars tonight," the bird, Zazu informed the annoyed lion, named Scar.

Scar arched an eyebrow at the bird. "I have been nominated for what?" he asked.

Zazu shrugged. "I can't say. Just be there if you want to win something," he finished as he flapped his wings and flew away from Scar, "possibly some humanity."

"Did ya hear?" a female hyena with three bangs dangling from her head, named Shenzi, asked as she an to her friends named Banzai and Ed.

Banzai, who was sleeping, slowly raised his head. "What?" he murmured.

"Mufasa's little stooge was babblin' to me about some Oscars thing that was goin' on," she told them.

"So?" Banzai asked without any interest.

"So," Shenzi continued, "when I was about to eat him, he told me that we three have been nominated and the one of us with the most votes chooses whatever our hearts desire. That means more food for us!"

"Awwh yeah!" Banzai whooped as he stood on his paws, "delicious zebra, antelope, and gazelles here I come!" His mouth started to drool at the thought of the delicious meats.

"And I'm just curious to see how Scar will react when we win something," Shenzi added.

"I would like to see that too," Banzai agreed, "let's bring that lion down!"

"YEAH!" Shenzi whooped followed by Ed's shrill of laughter.

At the Water Hole, the lionesses swam, dried, and licked themselves and their cubs clean to get ready for the festive event. Kiara trotted out of the water and shook herself to get rid of the water. Kovu walked up to her and placed an exotic pink flower behind her ear, making the princess of the Pride Lands blush.

Simba cannon-balled into the water along with his father. The two sprang up to the surface and they splashed each other with some water. Meanwhile, Sarabi licked her paw and swiped it against her face to make her fur even while Sarafina and Nala were sun bathing.

"Are we ready to go?" Sarabi gently spoke up after deciding that Mufasa and Simba were having a little too much fun in the water.

Both father and son stepped out and shook themselves clean, causing their manes to puff up which made Sarabi and Nala go over to their mates to smooth it out and make it nice and even. "Now we are ready," Mufasa said as him, his family, and the rest of the pride proceeded to their destination.
