Sorry it took so long, I've just been really pre-occupied w/ school and
other things.
Chapter 11
"Hey Timon, I see a couple of big ol' bugs over there on that funny colored log!" was the voice I woke up to the next morning. I moaned as I opened my heavy lidded eyes and looked around. All I could see was blue blanket though. I sighed and slowly pulled the covers down so that just my eyes peeked out.
I wanted to gasp at the sight before me. Instead I screamed, and so did the two creatures in front of me. "AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" beside me Simba jumped and then turned, the hair along his back standing on edge as his snarled. In front of us stood a warthog with a meerkat on his head.
Suddenly the meerkat got down off of the warthog and with his hands held like you would hold them in prayer, he said, "Please don't eat us! We just wanted the bugs on your log!" I blinked at him and so did Simba. Then I turned and looked on top of the blanket. I screeched and flew out of the covers. On top of them were a few roaches and some other types of bugs.
"You can have them!" I screamed. "Take them, just get them off!!!" The meerkat and warthog needed no further permission before running up to the blanket and devouring the bugs on it. Simba walked over and sat down beside me, staring up at me curiously. "What's all the fuss about? They're just bugs." He said.
I shivered. "They creep me out, and I'd rather not have them sleeping with me..." I shivered again. Simba laughed. The meerkat and Warthog finished their meal and then turned. "Mmm, that was good, thanks for providing us with breakfast. By the way, I'm Timon, and this warthog is my buddy Pumbaa." The meerkat said, gesturing toward the warthog. I nodded.
This whole animals talking thing was really starting to amaze me. I sighed. "So what're your names?" Pumbaa asked. "I'm Simba," Simba said, stepping forward. I shook my head to clear it then said, "I'm Diana." The meerkat walked up and circled me. "Well, I know he's a lion, but you sure don't look like anything I've ever seen." I had to laugh.
"I'm a human." I said simply. Timon and Pumbaa gasped, "Human?" they shrieked. Then they started screaming all over again. "Hey! Whoa! Stop it's, it's ok! I'm not going to hurt you!" I shouted. When that didn't work I put two of my fingers in my mouth and let out a long loud whistle.
Timon put his hands over his ears and waited until I stopped. I sighed and then tried again, "I'm not going to hurt you, I mean, I gave you breakfast for crying out loud!" this satisfied Pumbaa, but Timon wasn't as easily won. "Exactly, you gave us food to fatten us up, get us all ready for eat—hey, wait a minute!" Timon stopped and then turned to stare at me.
"How can we even talk? If you're a human, than how can you talk to us?" I sighed and then shrugged. "I'm still trying to figure that one out myself." I said. Timon shrugged. "Well, I guess you're alright." He shook his head. Simba took a step toward the meerkat.
"We kinda need a place to get away." He said. Timon turned. "Well, you might as well come with us, we have our own jungle paradise!" He hopped up onto Pumbaa's head and then gestured for them to follow. "Wait, wait! I need to get my stuff!" I yelled, urging them to stop.
They did and waited while I packed up my now bugless blankets. I put my pack on my back and shifted it so I was more comfortable. Then I gave a brisk nod and the warthog started off again. Simba followed at a joyful trot and I walked on along behind. I could keep up pretty easily; long legs can take you pretty far.
When we reached their so-called, 'paradise' I didn't think much of it, at first. We ventured further into the jungle. We reached a small cliff area and I set my pack down, deciding we were far enough in we could rest. Timon jumped off and walked over to an area where there were many leaves. "Come over here for a minute." He said. So I walked over with Simba close to my heels. Timon pulled away the leaves and I gasped at the sight before me.
"You live here?" Simba asked, the amazement in his voice clear. Timon gave a short chuckle. "We live wherever we want," He replied. Pumbaa nodded. "Yeah, home is where your rump rests." He said, giving a little laugh afterwards. I smiled and shook my head.
It was great to have friends, even if they were animals and it was really weird that I could understand them. I sighed and then sat down and brought out a book. "Diana?" I heard Simba ask. I looked up. "Hmm?" I said. "I'm going to go with them for a minute ok?" I smiled. "Sure Simba, go ahead, I'm not the boss of you." He smiled and then ran off, following Timon and Pumbaa.
I sighed again and then got lost in my book, deciding that I was safe from my Dad for the moment. I also decided that I was just going to stay here for the time being, at least until I had figured out a way to find the airport anyway...
************************END OF CHAPTER 11**********************
Again, sorry for the delay, hope you all liked it, I figured we had to have Timon and Pumbaa in there; otherwise it wouldn't fit in to the original Lion King plot. Well leave a review people! Thanks! TTFN -Bambi
