"Simba I'm very disappointed in you." " I know." Simba hated letting his father down and just looked down at his paws. " You could have been killed and what's worse. You put your friends in danger." Simba could feel his throat start to get irritated, a sign that he was about to cry and his voice began to crack as he spoke, " I was just trying to be brave like you." " I'm only brave when I have to be. Simba, being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble." " But your not scared of anything." " I was today. I was afraid I was going to lose you." " Oh well I guess even kings get scared huh? But ya know what? I think those hyenas were even scarder." Mufasa chuckled. " Because nobody messes with your dad." Mufasa put his paw behind Simba and pulled him closer and gave him a noogie. Simba squirmed out of his grasp and chased after his father. He pounced and landed on Mufasa's head and pulled on his ear. " Dad. We're pals right?" " Right." " And we'll always be together, right?" Mufasa righted himself a little and said," let me tell you something that my father told me. Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars. So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I."

"Man, that lousy Mufasa. I won't be able to sit for a week." whined one of the unfortunate hyenas who decided to mess with Mufasa. Ed just laughed in response. " it's not funny Ed." Banzai retorted. This caused the hyena to laugh even harder. " Hey shut up!!" Banzai growled. But Ed didn't so Banzai lunged at him. " Will you guys knock it off!" Shenzi yelled over them. " Well he started it." banzai said pointing at Ed who was to busy chewing on his own leg. " Look at you guys. No wonder we're dangling at the bottom of the food chain." " man I hate dangling." " Yeah, well if it weren't for those lions, we'd be runnin' the joint." " Man I hat lions!" Banzai
"So pushy."
"And hairy"
"And stinky"
"And man are they.."
" UGLY!!"
" Oh well surely us lions aren't all that bad." The hyenas whirled around and saw Scar sitting on a ledge towering over them. " Oh scar it's just you." Banzai said with a relief. " Yeah we thought is was somebody important." " Yeah you know like Mufasa." " I see." Scar replied not surprised.
"Now that's power."
"Tell me about it. I just hear that name and I shudder."
" Mufasa"
"OOOHHH. Do it again."
"Mufasa."
" OOOHHH"
" MUFASA,MUFASA,MUFASA."
" OH it tingles."
"I'm surrounded by idiots." Scar said disgusted." Well now you scar, your one of us. Your our pal." "Charmed." "OOOHHH I like that. He's not king but he's still so proper." "Oh, hey scar did you bring us anything to eat ol' buddy ol' pal Huh? Did'ya did'ya did'ya?" "I don't think you really deserve this" Scar said as he pulled out a zebra leg from behind him. The hyenas started jumping on their hind legs like little performing poodles " I practically gift wrapped those cubs for you and you couldn't even dispose of them." he through them the leg and they immediately started tearing in to it. " Well you know it was exactly like they were alone Scar." Shenzi noted with food in her mouth. " Yeah what were we supposed to do. Kill Mufasa?" "Precisely."
A few days later Simba's uncle scar came to him. " Your father sent me to get you. He wants you to meet him in the gorge." Ever since the hyena incident Simba had been on his best behavior, so he trotted quickly alongside Scar. Scar led him down into the gorge and led him to a small rock with a weak tree hanging over it. " Now wait right here your father has a wonderful surprise for you." " OOOHHH what is it?" Simba asked excitedly. " " well if I told you it wouldn't be a surprise now would it." " If you tell me I'll still act surprised." "Oh you are such a naughty boy." Scar chuckled. Simba frowned and jumped on his uncle a bit. " Come on uncle scar." " no, no, no. This is just for you and your daddy. You know a sort of father son…thing. Well I better go get him." " I'll go with you." "NO! heh heh heh…No. just stay on this rock. You wouldn't want to end up in another mess like you did with the hyenas." " You know about that." " Simba everyone knows about that." " really?" " Oh yes. Lucky daddy was there to save you eh. Oh and just between us you might want to work on that little roar of yours. Hmmm." " oh okay. Hey uncle scar will I like the surprise?" "Simba it's to DIE for." Scar said as he walked away. Simba grew bored while waiting for Mufasa but knew better then to disobey him again. So he decided to practice his " little roar. All of a sudden he heard a loud rumble and felt the earth shake. At the far end of the gorge he saw dark forms running down the edge. As he squinted he saw that they were Wildebeests. They were stampeding!!!

What was he doing? Was he actually running away? His father was dead, his uncle told him to run away, and he almost died again because he chased out of his own home by the hyenas. Not that he would of cared if he died. Right now he could care less. He wished he was dead. he wanted to be with his father.
The earth was becoming dry and cracked as he continued running. He was very thirsty, hungry and tired. All of this was to much for him he collapsed on the dry earth and closed his eyes not caring if he woke up or not.
Back at Priderock Scar had already told the rest of the pride about the terrible " Accident" and everybody was devastated. Especially Sarabi. She lost both her son and her husband all in one day and that was all to much for her. How could this happen? Why? This sad event made scar the king and it was bad enough that she didn't trust him one bit but he actually let the hyenas, all of them, live with the lions at Priderock. What was he thinking? He didn't even see to care that this bothered the rest of the pride. It was like he accepted them. The lionesses were whispering amongst themselves trying to figure out what just happened here and then stood over the cubs making sure no harm came to them. The cubs were scared out of their wits, especially Diallo and Taraja. after their run in with the hyenas they were too scared to even move. The hyenas started to come to close to the cubs which angered the lionesses and they began to snarl and swipe their claws at the unwanted guests. Amani who was getting bigger and was showing the beginnings of a mane in his thirteenth year, was also getting frustrated and he too began to snarl at the hyenas who were bothering his friends. If things were going to continue like this he would have to help out with the younger ones. Not that he minded but that meant no more playing around and that he would have more responsibility. Things wouldn't be the same without Simba. Simba was his best friend. Without any older cubs around he played with Simba more than anybody else. When the hyenas finally let up, the lions were a little at ease. When they looked up at the ledge of Priderock scar was already ascending the throne and he threw back his head and let out a roar. And in regret the lionesses responded in acceptance. The next day the drought which would be the beginning of rough times started and things were never the same again.
***Splash*** Was it raining? Simba thought. He felt water splashing on his face and looked up to see a small meerkat and a warthog standing in front of him. Was he dreaming? Everything was so foggy. " Are you okay kid?" asked the meerkat. " I- I think so." he responded weakly. " You nearly died." said the large warthog. " I saved ya." added the meerkat proudly. The warthog snorted at the meerkat." Pumbaa helped….a little" He added hesitantly. " Thanks for you help." Simba said as he solemnly walked away. Timon and Pumbaa talked amongst themselves. " Geez he looks blue." " I'd say brownish gold." " no no no. I mean he's depressed. " Timon and Pumbaa ran up behind Simba and tried to make him feel better. " Hey kid what's eatin' ya?" " Nothin he's at the top of the food chain!!! Ah ha…the food chain.. aha…heh…So where ya from?" "Who cares I can't go back" " Ah you're an outcast. That's great so are we" Timon said excitedly. "What you do kid?" Pumbaa asked. " Something terrible but I don't want to talk about it." Simba answered sadly. " Well good Cuz we don't want to hear about it." Timon answered. " oh come on Timon. Anything we can do?" Pumbaa asked. " Not unless you can change the past." You know, kid, in times like this my buddy Timon here says, "You got to put your behind in your past..." "No. No. No. Amateur. Lie down before you hurt yourself. It's "You got to put your past behind you. Look, kid. Bad things happen, and you can't do anything about it, right?" "Right." "Wrong! When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world." "Well, that's not what I was taught. "Then maybe you need a new lesson. Repeat after me. AHEM. Hakuna Matata." "What?" ":Ha-ku-na Ma-ta-ta. It means "No worries."."
