CHAPTER 9

FINDING A PLACE FOR THE NIGHT

The scene changed over to a different place away from the elephant graveyard. They started making their way to the midst of the Outlands. Although the audience isn't very sure why these four are heading out to one of the most dangerous places in all of Africa, they all seem to think that every place they go to is known as Hakuna Matata, a place with no worries at all.

"Wait a second," Timon said, pausing the screen, "Who let the narrator back in? I thought we fired her."

"Yeah, this is the part where we had to place a halt on the movie production because the old narrator said she would file a lawsuit on us if we didn't give her at least some of the narration parts in the movie," Pumbaa said, "So, long story short, we had to hire her back."

"Well, I suppose if we want this movie to become a hit, I suppose we don't have much of a choice. Speaking of which, why are we heading off into one of the most scariest places in the world?"

"You tell me. You're the one that was leading the whole time while Renena and Maxo were riding on my back."

"Hey, I wasn't gonna make her walk. That's what the gentleman does." Timon sighed. "Let's just resume the movie."

Continuing the movie, the scene quickly changes to a part where the four travelers are inside the hideout of the most notorious Outland predators. Timon walked around, getting a good look at the place. One look and he smiled that dumb grin of his.

"Well, looks like this is a good place to crash the night at," Timon said, "Home, sweet, home."

"Timon, do you really think this is a good place for us to stay at?" Pumbaa asked, "After all, this is where the hyneas live at."

"There are hyenas here?" Renena asked, freaking out.

"What?" Maxo shouted, "I knew it was a mistake to come with these guys, Renena. Come on. We have to escape."

"Now hold on there a second, Maxo. We are not escaping. That how those other hyenas found us in the first place was by freaking out. The best thing to do is stay where we are. Besides, this doesn't seem like a bad place."

"You're right about that," Timon said, sitting on a geyser. When he did, hot steam blew out of it, causing his bottom to burn with pain and making him run around all over the place. He place it in cool water and then walked over to sit down on a different rock. "This is a comfortable place. We are perfectly satisfied right here."

"Did you even bother to ask us what we thought about it first?" Maxo asked, "This guy isn't even being a proper gentleman to us."

"Maxo, leave Timon alone," Renena said, "That's just the kind of person he is. You can't change anybody, not even somebody you just met."

"Well, it doesn't seem like a bad place," Pumbaa said, "It's nice and warm. I would choose to come here any day."

Without warning, a line full of hyenas started waltzing in the room. This made the four travelers stand side by side, horrified at the sight. Timon spoke up. "I think this is where we do the river dance." As if on cue, all four of them started dancing, making their way out of the cave and running away from the Outlands.

The scene change, showing the four travelers walking across the savanna. Maxo was playing a game of I Spy with Renena. "Okay, it's my turn. I st with my little eye something that looks brown."

"Let me guess," Renena said, "Is it the sand?"

"Right. Okay, your turn."

"Alright. I spy with my little eye something that begins with the letter T.

"The letter T? Oh, I know this one. Is it a tree?"

"Nope. Try again."

"Oh. Is it a set of teeth from an animal?"

"Nope. Keep going."

"Oh. I know it this time. Is it a treasure chest?"

"Maxo, where are you gonna see a treasure chest at? We're in the middle of the savanna."

"Okay, I give up. What is it?"

"Okay, I'll tell you. I spy with my little eye something that begins with T, and it's Timon."

Timon`s eyes widened. "Seriously? Did you have to add me in your game?"

"Well, it's not my fault," Renena said, "Maxo here always says the same thing when we play this game."

"I think it's fun," Pumbaa said, "Can I play?"

"I don't see why not."

"Okay, let me have a turn. I spy with my little eye something that has a dark colored tale."

"Is it you?"

"Nope."

"Is it Renena? She has a dark tail," Maxo asked.

"Nope."

Renena snapped her finger. "Oh, I got it. It's Timon."

"That's right," Pumbaa said, "You guys are pretty good at this game."

"You did it again," Timon said.

"Sorry, Timon," Renena said, "You're welcomed to join us if you like."

"Sorry, but I don't play childish games."

"At least play one round."

"Nope. I'm not gonna do it."

"Please, Timon. It'll help pass the time. Besides, it's not like you're doing anything else."

Timon sighed. "Well, if you insist. Okay, I'll play. Just this one time."

"Okay, you take this turn."

"Fine. I spy with my little eye something that is the color blue."

"Oh, is it the sky?" Pumbaa asked.

"No."

"Uh, is it the blue flowers?" Renena asked.

"No, but it's pretty like a flower," Timon said.

"Oh, is it a blue treasure chest?" Maxo asked.

"Maxo, everything you see is not a treasure chest," Renena said.

"Oh, we give up, Timon," Pumbaa said, "What is it?"

"It's the color of Renena`s eyes," Timon said.

"Oh, so now you're gonna place me in the game even though I've been playing the whole time," Renena said, "Okay, then. I'll just take another turn. I spy with my little eye something that with the letter C."

"The letter C?" Timon asked, "Alright, let me think. Is it a cervil?"

"Nope. Try again."

"Is it the clouds?"

"Nope." Renena giggled.

"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny. Okay, I give up. What is it?"

"Alright. I spy with my little eye something that begins with the letter C and it is the word courageous. I want to know whose courageous, though."

"Would that happen to be me?"

Renena blushed. "Well, you could say that."

"Okay, my turn. I spy with my little eye something that begins with the letter B."

"The letter B? Okay, um, is it a butterfly?"

"Nope, but I'll give you a hint. Why do you think the ladies like butterflies?"

Renena gasped. "I got it. It's beautiful."

"That's right, and who do you think I'm talking about?"

"Um, I suppose it might be me."

"You could say that."

"Well, that's sweet of you. Okay, my turn."

"Hey, I thought that all of us were playing this game," Maxo said, "You're not making it fair."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Maxo," Renena said, "I almost forgot about you being in the game. After all, you did come up with it."

"You know what? I'm done playing. I'm gonna take a nap. Wake me up when we find a place to stay at for the night."

"Well, it looks as though our search is over," Pumbaa said, "We found a nice place."

Timon gasped. "Pumbaa, this is Pride Rock. Why did you bring us all the way back here?"

"Well, I thought that maybe Simba would let us stay here for the night. Is it not okay?"

"It's fine, Pumbaa. Besides, this will be the perfect chance to introduce Renena to the king of the Pridelands."

Renena smiled. She should be lucky that she did go along with Timon and Pumbaa. Not only were they kind and helped others, but they also went all this way for her to meet the king.


I THINK I FEEL A CONNECTION BETWEEM TIMON AND RENENA. OHHHH, I WONDER IF SOMETHING GREAT WILL HAPPEN BETWEEN THESE TWO. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?

WELL, THAT'S IT FOR ME.

I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THIS CHAPTER.
