Chapter 14: Ed

Last vote, last chapter. Or is it? Nope. If you recall a few chapters ago, I said I would do a bonus chapter if I got 60 reviews on my story. We have over 70 reviews now and so after this chapter is done I will add a bonus chapter, just for you guys. Sorry about the lateness of the chapter, it's just Finals week at my school and so its study, study, study, and the ever stressful memorization for me.

Thank you Guest for the suggestion in this chapter. My apologies for not doing Vitani with your suggestion and I hope you can forgive me, it's just that I didn't notice your review until it was too late.

Enjoy the story!

Everyone gathered before the glorious ice water bucket challenge dumping booth, watching Ed bravely walk up to it with Banzai and Shenzi on either of his sides. The director stood in a firm stance as he watched them come up the cement ground. Everyone moved out of the way to let them through. Today was the last Lion King ice bucket challenge with them in it. Ed was the last picked to end it all. A speaker was set up just a while back and was the playing "The Final Countdown" by Europe.

An extra large bucket filled with ice water was prepared, just sitting there up above with some monkeys ready to pour its contents down. As requested, it was larger than the last buckets, almost about three gallons worth. Ed made his way under the platform and sat down. Shenzi pulled out a swim cap and Banzai some goggles. They both set to work putting them on Ed. Even though Ed's stupidity was appalling at times, it was sort of the icky, smelly, weird glue that held there friendship together. Plus they didn't want him to get hurt so there, enough sappy stuff!

The director started walking up to Ed as soon as his swim gear was placed on securely. Ed looked at the director, staring at him through his swim goggles and his tongue dripping drool onto the concrete.

"Are you ready, Ed," the director said slowly. Ed gave out a small, maniacal chuckle and nodded his head stupidly many times.

"That means 'yes', sir," Shenzi translated.

"Very well then. Monkeys, pour it down" the director called up to the primates. The ever-faithful monkeys tipped the extra large bucket, with more force than usual, and splashed the ice water down on Ed. Ed yelled a hyena-scream (Or would it be screamed a hyena-yell?) and bowed his head as it got hammered with falling water and ice cubes. when the process was done, he looked up and shook off all the excess water off himself.

"My word," Ed said, in a fancy, British accent. Everyone stared at him with their jaws dropping to the floor. Was Ed actually using words!?

"That was quite an experience. Would you not say so my dear friends, Shenzi and Banzai-" he was cut off as the bucket fell off the platform and landed on his head, sending him to the floor with the bucket on his head. Remember: it was the extra large bucket. The others rushed over to help him. They moved him into a sitting position and hesitantly took the bucket off his head. His eyes were closed.

"Ed. Are you okay," Banzai asked slowly. Ed opened his eyes, as unfocused as ever, and began to laugh. His two pals hugged him in relief.

With everything back to normal, the director turned to the cameraman.

"Well folks. That's Ed wrapping up this last edition of the Lion King Ice Bucket Challenge. We've hoped you enjoyed it and thanks you so much for the reviews and the votes we received from you. We'll see you next time- huh? What," he said, turning to see Kiara tugging at his pant leg.

"Wait a minute sir. If this is the last edition of the Lion King Ice Bucket Challenge, then why did you say 'we'll see you next time'? Is there something you're not telling us," she asked.

"Uh," the director said.

"There is something is there," Kiara said, getting excited.

"Maybe," the director replied.

"There is. Whoo hoo! Wait, so who's doing it? We've covered everyone of us, so who's left? And why are we doing it anyways," Kiara asked. He was getting very overwhelmed with questions indeed. Luckily a voice from up-above saved him.

"Because the author/writer said so," a deep voice boomed. The sound bounced straight across the lot, leaving everyone's fur and/or hair on end and there eyes wild. Finally Simba tentatively asked, "Are you the author?"

"No," the voice boomed back. "I'm the lot announcer."

"Movie set humor," Vitani said to Zira.

"Ugh. Cut! Save," the director said, pinching the bridge of his nose.

There you have it. The last Lion King character and the second to last chapter of this story, or not. Thank you everyone who's voted and suggested things for the Lion King characters to do, or faved/followed this story. Thank you guys so much. Stay tuned for the last chapter. Sincerely, v.t.7
