Taka crouched low in the grass. Sarabi and Mufasa sat there talking. "So have you told him yet?" Mufasa asked. "What am I supposed to tell him, he's my best friend" Sarabi replied. Taka wondered if they were talking about him. "Then what am I?" Mufasa asked. "You're more than that" Sarabi replied. "When did they ever spend time together?" Taka wondered. "I still want him to be my friend" Sarabi said softly. "Then I can tell him" Mufasa replied. Taka jumped out of the grass.
"Tell me what, I know you're talking about me" Taka stated. Sarabi had a depressing look on her face. "Well, I guess I'll be the one to tell you" Zazu said as he flew towards them. "Oh so he knows and I don't" Taka retorted. Sarabi looked like she was about to speak but didn't. "Of course I know. So do you want to know or not?" Zazu demanded. "Obviously, yes" Taka stated. "Mufasa and Sarabi are getting married" Zazu answered.
Taka pounced at the bird and pinned him to the ground. Zazu let out a cry. Mufasa tackled Taka. He fell to the ground and Mufasa roared at him. Taka scratched him with his claws. Sarabi cowered in fear, and Zazu flew off. Taka roared back at Mufasa and tackled him back. Mufasa fell to the ground. Taka was about to hit him when, Sarabi stepped between them and roared at Taka. He stepped back and sat down.
"You don't understand!" Sarabi yelled. "Now why wouldn't I understand" Taka replied. "I was betrothed to him, years ago, so there is nothing you can do about it" Sarabi yelled. Taka growled from deep in his throat. Sarabi began to cry and ran off across the savannah.
Mufasa got up and glared at Taka. He limped back to pride rock. Taka debated whether or not to go after Sarabi for a while. He decided She needed some space and went home.
