"Zazu help me!" screamed Simba as he held onto a dead tree as hundreds of wildebeests ran right under him.
Zazu flew next to him, obviously concerned for the young prince. "Your father is on the way, hold on," he said.
"Hurry!" cried Simba who felt like he was slipping.
Zazu flew as fast as he could to Mufasa who was standing on the ledge with Scar, looking for Simba.
"He's over there on that tree," said Zazu as he pointed his wing over at the nearby tree.
Mufasa said nothing but ran down as fast as he could to save his only son.
Poor Simba could not hold on much longer and knew he would fall if his father did not come in time. Sure enough, a wildebeest hit the tree, breaking it and Simba found himself flying in midair. But before he landed, his father grabbed him.
Simba felt safe now that his father had rescued him and wanted to get out of the horrible canyon. Before Mufasa could even get close to the canyon wall, a wildebeest ran into him causing him to let go of Simba.
Simba rolled around in the dust for a quick second before he realized he was in the middle of the stampede having to avoid the wildebeest yet again. At first he thought it was the end until he felt his father pick him up again and brought the young cub to safety on a nearby ledge.
Simba hoped that his father would join him but instead some wildebeest's pushed him back down under the stampede.
Dad!" Cried Simba knowing that his father was in danger.
He watched for his father to come up, Simba hoped that he was alright. Finally after what seemed like ages, his father jumped out of the stampede and landed right behind Simba and was out of breath. He had most likely bruised a few ribs and hurt a paw in the process. But Simba didn't care and smiled happily.
"Dad you made it," said Simba
"Yes, yes I know, now lets get you home before anything else happens," said Mufasa who then picked up Simba and limped up the canyon and back to pride rock.
At the top of the canyon, Scar saw the whole thing and growled under his breath in rage. Another one of his plans were ruined.

A/N: Yay the beginning of my first Lion King Fic. I hope you liked it, sorry it was short but the chapters will be longer than this, so please review and tell me if you liked it and I will continue it. Also if you can think of a better name than "Surviving the Stampede" please let me know and I will see if I like that one better. Have a nice day.
