Hello readers,

This is my first fanfic ever, so advice would be appreciated.

I'll try to do a chapter a week!

Enjoy

Taka, or Scar (as he liked to be called), was always considered the oddball in his family and in the pride. He was always outshined by his older brother, Mufasa. His mother, Uru, was always on the search for a friend for him. Mufasa was the father's boy, the eldest son, and most importantly, the future king of pride rock. This is the story of how Scar found a way to express his feelings in an unexpected manner.

SCAR/TAKA'S P.O.V

I woke up earlier than Mufasa today so I would not have to face him. I caught a glimpse of the rising sun as I began my stealthy way to the outlands, where my hyena friends were. However, I was so focused on being stealthy that I did not notice that my mother was following me. She was about ten feel away from me when she called out, "Taka, where are you going so early in the morning?" I turned around and replied, "Mother, we have been through this! I wish to be called Scar, not Taka!"She sighed sadly at my response. "But where are you going, my son?" "I am. . ." Taka/Scar thought of an excuse. "You are going to the outlands?" his mother asked with curiosity. Scar nodded his head, trying not to let the tears fall from his eyes.

"I'll come with you", stated Uru.

As they reached the outlands, Scar thought of something. "Mother, please don't tell father about this", begged Scar. "I promise", said Uru.

The three hyenas were terrified when they saw Uru. They all hid inside a nearby elephant skull. However, Ed's laugh gave them away. It's all right guys; my mother just wants to see you guys. Shenzi was the first to come out of hiding. "Hello, my name is Shenzi", she said. "I'm Uru, Taka's mother!" Uru exclaimed. After Shenzi introduced herself to Uru, so did Banzai and Ed (in his own way).

"There is something that Ed found that he wants all of us to see!"

We all turned around and saw Ed next to Banzai, holding a metallic box like device that had a black shiny disk shaped object on top. Ed connected it (with what looked like a thick gray vine) to another box-like device; this one had a cone-like gap in its center. They all were puzzled as if to what the devices would do. Ed flicked what he called a "switch" and the machines began to turn on. The disk on the first device was spinning and music was coming out of the cone of the second one.

I was deeply soothed by the music. It was something I had ever heard before. It was a masterpiece formed from strange noises such as a loud "boom" that might have been a drum, a melody constructed from a buzzing sound and strangest off all, a wobbly sound.

Ed asked us, "What did you guys think about the music?"

I told him that I really enjoyed it, and that I was curious about how he found the machines. My mother agreed with me; this made me secretly happier, because I and my mother had something in common. The other hyenas agreed also. We spent the rest of the day fiddling with the machines.

It was beginning to get dark out very fast so my mother decided that we should leave. We said our goodbyes to the hyenas and left for Pride Rock.

However, when we got there, my father was not very happy to see us.
