Hey everyone, thanks for all the great comments! Don't forget to check out my poll on my bio, Felix's fate-

Scar interrupts: Senka. His name is SENKA!

Me: Right, as I was saying Senka's fate may be in your hands!

I hope you enjoy!

" I know just the name. Your new name will be Senka."

Scar places a claw at my throat. " either you obey or I blame you for the king and young prince's untimely death. Then I kill you."...

Scar clears his throat. " As I was saying, my son Senka shall be future king. "... Scar turns to me with his eyes full of evil. " tomorrow your training begins."...

I wake up to the sun rising on the horizon, the cave is empty. Now's my chance to get out of here! The movie went just fine without me so they don't need me here besides, I think I'm messing up the story now... I get up and peak out, there is one hyena standing guard outside the cave. Okay so I need a diversion so I can sneak back to the gorge and-... At that moment another hyena comes out of nowhere and tackles the hyena on gaurd yelling something about meat owed or something. I watch as the two of them roll around till they fall off the edge. It can't be that easy... I inch out of the cave and peek over the edge to see them still wrestling. " I guess it is." I mutter to myself before sneaking down the side of Priderock and into the grass heading for the gorge.

As I was running through the grass I'm starting to wonder if I'm just going in circles because I keep tripping over the same stick. After the third time, I examine the stick and am surprised to find its long and smooth almost like... As I reach this thought I start running torwards the gorge again but this time I'm watching the grass. I see the stick come sliding out of the grass right in front of me and I jump over it just in time. I whip around, grab the stick in my mouth and pull as hard as I can. The stick comes out with gourds attached to one end. I knew it! His staff!.. I look at the tall grass and I call out. " Come on out Rafiki, I know you're here!" Suddnely I hear the strangest laughter ever coming from behind me. I jump straight up in surprise which only causes more laughter. I turn around to find a baboon holding the staff laughing. Rafiki! I turn to him annoyed. " what's the idea tripping me over and over?! because it wasn't funny!"

Rafiki gets a hold of himself and shrugs. " did it stop you from moving forward?"

I shake my head. " I guess not."

Rafiki smiles " why not?"

I think about it for a moment before i answer. " I guess because I'm not going to stop just because a stick is in my way."

The baboon jumps up dropping his stick his excitement. " Hah! Dat's it!"

I stare at the crazy old baboon. " what is?"

The baboon crouches down in front of me. " Why stop for a stick when life trips you? If you never got up when you trip, you'd never get anywhere. So I ask you... Where are you going?" I get up and start to walk towards the near by tree for shade not caring if the monkey full of riddles follows. " I'm going home. You wouldn't understand." the baboon appears in front of me somehow.

Dat's not the way home for you, Felix."

I stop. " How do you know my name?"

Rafiki points up. " Mufasa told me."

I stare at him stunned. " Mufasa?! How?but...why?"

He leads the rest of way to the tree with his staff in his hand in silence. When we get there he leans back onto the tree trunk and closes his eyes.

I count to three in my head then I blurt out. " Rafiki, please explain!"

The baboon peeks out at me with one eye. " the gorge isn't your home, so I ask again.. Where are you going?"

My ears go back feeling frustrated." fine, then I'm going to the gorge to find my way home. Now please tell why Mufasa would tell you about me and how he knew!"

Rafiki patted a spot next to him till I moved over and sat down, then he spoke.

" Mufasa tells me you came from far away but it was no accident. Da circle of life is not complete." The baboon studies me. " but you already knew dat."

I look down nodding. " I knew about the circle of life but I can't see how I can be here on purpose."

Rafiki hits the tree with his staff and catches a falling fruit with the other, he takes a bite out of it. " De circle of life works in mysterious ways. Now are you going to l trip and never back to help the circle of life like I I can see in your heart you want to?"

Now I think I'm getting a headache. " what are you talking about? The only one who keeps tripping me is you!"

Rafiki shakes his head and finishes the fruit. " you are falling right now and da circle of life will never be reached."

I stare at the baboon incredulity. " What are you taking about?! I -" I Hera a roar in the distance from Priderock. I turn back to Rafiki when something clicks in my mind. " wait, are you saying.. Scar...Scar is a stick? And I'm tripping over him ?"

The old baboon scratches his head nodding looking very serious. " Yes it would seem so."

I cock my head feeling confused. " so It's important I stay here.. With Scar? Will it help Si-I mean, the circle of life?" Rafiki climbs into the tree and hangs upside down in front of me. He points to my chest. " Only you can figure dat out for yourself. But.." Still upside down, he points his staff at Priderock " dey will need a king." I stare at Priderock knowing I can't take Simba's place. " But Rafiki, I can't-" I turn to look back to the baboon but he has vanished. I sigh looking down, my ears press down. "Rule.." I look to the gorge then back to Priderock. Rafiki said they need me... I shake my head and get up. This is going to be the death of me... With that thought, I run back torwards Priderock.
