Enjoy the chapter!

The director took a deep breath before placing his hand on the door knob and turned it. He pushed it open and walked inside. He then walked in and made a left into the hallway. Just a few more steps until he reach the door that lead to the room with the Lion King characters inside. The room was filled with book, magazines, computers, CD's, beanbags, tables, and chairs. The Lion King characters we're either reading books, reading magazines, listening to CD's, or on the computer. A few of them turned their attention from what they were doing when the director came in.

"Oh hey Mr. director sir. What's up," Nuka asked. He was sitting in a beanbag chair with some headphones and a comic book in his paws. He pulled out his clipboard from underneath his arm.

He cleared his throat. "The next ice bucket challenge nominee is Rafiki and I expect everyone to meet in the usual spot in a half hour. That is all," he said before leaving the room. The Lion King characters looked at the door in shock. Usually the director wasn't so much of.. well that.

"Uh, what just happened," Nuka asked.

"I do not know, but I have a feeling that we had better get to the ice dumping place right on time or something else might happen," Scar said.

"Agreed," everyone said.

25 minutes later

"Hello Mr director sir. 5 minutes early and we're all prepared for today's challenge," Nala said, putting on a cheerful smile like everyone else but in truth it was all forced smiling. The director put on a strained smile onto his face before pinching the bridge of his nose and sighing.

"Thank you everyone. I apologize for my earlier behavior. I spent the entire night last night helping my little girl work on her Mother's day card for her mother. You remember Kathy, right," he said, and from behind him stepped out Kathy.

"Hello," she giggled, her pigtails shaking as she laughed. Everyone waved hello, however some of the Lion King were secretly hyperventilating because they had totally had not seen there calenders had said Mother's day was coming.

"It's okay sir. We understand. Is everyone ready," Nala said.

"That depends. Rafiki are you ready? Rafiki," the director asked. He was in a meditation pose on the concrete floor underneath the dunking spot, his eyes closed and hands outstretched. Simba went in front of him and waved his his paw in his face a few times, but Rafiki did not react.

"I think he's asleep," Simba said. He then got an evil grin on his face. "Let's dunk him now!"

"Yeah," a few characters said. The rest disagreed.

"C'mon everyone. We've had bonding, platonic love the past few characters. We need a humorous one to even it out. What d'ya say," Simba said. Finally the director sighed and waved his hand at Simba. He grinned and yelled up to the monkeys above.

"Alright boys! Pour it on!"

Splash! Sploosh! Wet! Soaked! More splashing! More wetness! Totally drenched! Rafiki was all of those things, but he didn't move a muscle to everyone's surprise. They all watched anxiously as Kiara slowly crept up to Rafiki. When she was close enough she touched his nose and said 'beep', causing Kathy to laugh a bit. Rafiki snorted and his eyes opened a bit. Kiara scrambled back a few feet. Rafiki yawned and stretched from his position.

"Oh ho ho. My friends. I was just having the most calming nap. I thank you friends for waking me up. So when do I do the ice water challenge," he asked. Everyone just stared at him with blank expressions.

"Cue to camera," the director quickly said. The cameraman turned and focused on him.

"Well, heh heh. That's all folks. I hope you enjoyed this edition of the Lion King ice bucket challenge and we'll stay here and here from your reviews and votes, okay. Bye," he sheepishly said.

"Hi mom," Kathy said while trying to get on her dad's shoulders.

"Ow! Kathy," the director scolded.

"Alright men, and ladies. Here's the thing. Mother's day is coming up and I figure we can all pitch in to do something special for those wonderful figures in our lives. So here's the plan-"

To be continued...

Short chapter, I know. Sorry about the shortness and the lateness. The next one will be better, I promise. We have the return of Kathy in this chapter, coming live to bring you an update about the upcoming holiday, Mother's day. Hope this alerts you just in case you didn't know. Thank goodness I've already completed my card. Good luck on whatever you're doing for the holiday! And good luck for whichever Lion King characters are involved in the Mother's day plan. See if you can guess who.

So please review, vote, and I'll see you next time. Bye! Sincerely, v.t.7
