I don't own the Lion King


Pumbaa peeked over Timon's shoulder and read the words scribbled on the leaf. "Scar with the song 'Be Prepared!'" he announced to the crowd.

All lions and hyenas turned their gazes at the black maned lion that stared back at them with his piercing green eyes. "You look surprised," he calmly said. "I was expecting first place but my nephew unfortunately won," he said the last word in a sarcastic voice.

"But-but-but," Timon sputtered, "you still won something! Why don't you come up here, take your prize, and sing your song."

"I would but my hyena orchestra has turned against me," he said as he peeked over at the table where Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed were sitting in.

Shenzi rolled her eyes and said, "your loss, traitor!"

"Yeah," Banzai slurred.

Scar took a deep breath and looked back at Timon and Pumbaa. "However, I can do better without their help." He stood up from his seat and walked over to the stage. He turned his head and looked back at the audience. "Before I begin, I would like to say thank you for the nomination but whoever placed me for third place is going to pay!" he emphasized by smacking his paw to the ground.

Timon sucked air through his teeth. What am I worried about? he thought. I have Simba and Mufasa to protect me form that guy.

"Would you like yo begin?" Pumbaa asked, after he had given Scar his prize.

"Why not?" he said as the fireflies changed their bright yellow colors into a dark green color. A couple of animals from the audience began to make a melody for the beginning of the song. When the green light was shined upon Scar, he began. "I know that your powers of retention/Are as wet as a warthog's backside," he sang.

When he said that, Pumbaa raised an eyebrow and looked at Timon.

"But thick as you are, pay attention/My words are a matter of pride." He walked over to Mufasa's table and stood next to his brother. "It's clear from your vacant expressions/The lights are not all on upstairs," he waved his paw in front of his brother's face. "But we're talking kings and successions/Even you can't be caught unawares," he put his clawed paw under his brother's throat.

"Oh God, there's gonna be a fight," Timon squeaked at Pumbaa.

Scar elegantly walked over to Zira's table. "So prepare for a chance of a lifetime/Be prepared for sensational news," he gave her that same look like he did in the movie. Zira's eyes almost popped out of her sockets. "A shining new era/Is tiptoeing nearer," he tip-toed past the hyena's table.

"And how are you great?" Shenzi asked.

"Don't patronize me," Scar growled at her. "I know it sounds sordid/But you'll be rewarded/When at last I am given my dues/And injustice deliciously squared/Be prepared!"

"Yeah be prepared!" Banzai slurred, "we'll be prepared, for some more passion fruit."

"No you fool, for the death of the king!" Scar snapped.

"We don't have to listen to you," Banzai shot back as he sipped onto some more passion fruit, "man this is good!"

Scar scrunched his eyes at his former henchman. "Stop it, you're ruining my moment!" Why did Banzai pick the perfect moment to mess with Scar? It was all part of him being a traitor to them.

"WHOO!" Banzai hooted, "man this stuff is good. Too bad it doesn't give you wings. I just want to fly right now!"

"I will hurl you to kingdom come if you don't stop talking!" Scar growled through gritted sharp teeth. When Banzai didn't stop, Scar lost his temper and lashed out at the hyena.

Shenzi immediately jumped to her paws and flew over at Scar. "Leave him alone!" she snapped her teeth at him. "Who do you think you are to do such a thing?"

Timon and Pumbaa immediately jumped off the stage and ran over to Scar and the hyenas. "Come on you guys," Pumbaa said, "just let Scar sing his song. It's not that long."

"HA!" Shenzi let out a laugh, "he has thrown us over a geyser and into a pile of bones during his song. Imagine how much injuries we went through."

Mufasa leaned towards Sarabi and murmured, "at least their wounds were not as fatal as mine were."

"That's it!" Timon jumped in, "no more drama! If you guys keep this up, I will take away your prizes and you will all be disqualified."

"Go ahead and try you little rat," Shenzi said as she gave Timon a push with her paw, "we haven't won anything yet."

"But you will win something soon I can tell you that," Timon added, "now stop fighting, Scar, start singing!" With that, Timon and Pumbaa fled from Scar and the hyenas.

The green light appeared onto Scar once more and he commenced his singing. "Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected/To take certain duties on board/The future is littered with prizes/And though I'm the main addressee/The point that I must emphasize is..." Wanting to get on their nerves, Scar jumped at the hyena's table and yelled in Ed's face, "You won't get a sniff without me!"

Ed's face went to fright and then into horror. He let out a cry of fear but Scar immediately left the table before Shenzi and Banzai could interrupt him once more.

Scar jumped over to Mufasa's table and looked at each and everyone of them. However, when he sang his line, he looked at Kovu and Kiara, "So be prepared for the coup of the century/Be prepared for the murkiest scam." He jumped away from them and then began to strut about the stage. "Meticulous planning/Tenacity spanning/Decades of denial/Is simply why I'll/Be king undisputed/Respected, saluted/And seen for the wonder I am," he placed his paw on his chest and cast a smile over the audience. "Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared/Be prepared!/Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared/Be prepared!"

With that, the lights turned back into the yellow spotlight color. Out of the whole audience, Zira was the only one that was clapping for him. Scar slowly bowed his head and walked back to his table. As he walked, he could feel Zira's gaze on him. It was the type of look that was obvious enough for him to know that she was attracted to him. However, he didn't let her feelings get the better of him.

"Can't believe we helped that guy," Shenzi muttered, "traitor."

"And what did we get in return?" Banzai slurred some more, "nothing but bones, bones, bones!"

"Just shut your mouth," Shenzi snapped. She was mad about the fact that Scar won, that Banzai had too much to drink, and that Ed kept laughing like the maniac he was.

Timon and Pumbaa appeared back on stage and looked at the audience. "Thank you Scar for that wonderful song about killing your brother," he uneasily said.

Kovu looked at Mufasa. "Not a very nice song for a sibling."

Mufasa gave him a smile. "It's all part of jealousy," he simply said.

Kovu knew that sort of feeling. He had been grown to feel jealous of the Pride Landers because of his mother. However, good thing that plan had backfired and that he had met the most wonderful lioness.

"We are not finished yet ladies and gentlemen," Timon continued, "now we move onto the best songs from the second movie."

"Which was as wonderful as the first," Pumbaa spoke up, "and we will shortly meet the winners, after the break."
