A/N I won't be able to update for another week and a few days as I'm going up to Devon to visit some friends so I thought that it be best to update sooner. Thank you very much SunRise19 for your review and for your concern for my grandparents. Don't worry they'll be ok and I hope you and the other readers enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 5
Nala lead the crew of Fireball XL5 deeper and deeper into the cave un till they finally came to the end where they saw him… The Lion king himself. "Simba I have brought our guests" said Nala who then left the crew to be greeted by her husband. "Your majesty" said Steve as he and his friends bowed down to the king! Simba smiled "Welcome to the Pride lands colonel Zodiac" said Simba. "Its an honour to be here" said Steve. "And it is more than an honour to have you here. Now please make yourselves comfortable and tell me all about you're selves then I'll tell all about me and my people".
So Steve began telling Simba all about Fireball XL5 and how himself, Venus and Matt were all members of The World Space Patrol. Simba listened in awe to every single word and detail! When the story was over Simba was amazed. "Fascinating absolutely fascinating" said Simba. "So you live on a big piece of land, in a big water hole called the Pacific is that right" asked Simba. "Yes" said Steve. "And the city on this piece of land where you live is called Space city" continued Simba still unable to believe how advanced these creatures were to them. "And who is the king of your pride that lives there". Steve tried to hold back his laughter "Well there isn't exactly a king more of a commander named Zero" "And he has an advisor called lieutenant Ninety" added Venus also trying to hold back her laughter. "Well I never" thought Simba. "Now your majesty if it wouldn't be too much trouble would you please tell us you're story" asked Steve desperate to find out about the king's tale!
"I will gladly tell you my story" said Simba who then told them about his adventures as a cub in the elephant graveyard, the stampede, Timone and Pumbaa, Nala helping him defeat Scar and how Kiara was born and met Kovu. Then he moved on to explain how the friendship of the two lions helped bring the Pride Landers and the outsiders together!
This time it was the human's turn to be amazed. "Gee that was one boss story" said Steve. "Yeah sounds like the sort of thing someone could turn into a movie" said Matt who had been taking the whole thing down on his note pad! "It was good" said Venus "But I can't help but think that we put you through a great deal of pain explaining you're fathers death we're sorry". "Yeah Venus is right we're sorry" said Steve feeling a little foolish. "Yeah so am I" said Matt pulling out a tissue from his pocket and drying some tears that were forming from his eyes! "Boy do I feel like a tootie" said Matt sniffing.
"Don't worry" said Simba "I am not as sensitive about it as I used to be thanks to some common sense and a bit of Hakuna Matata I have been able to get over it and continue in my father's place maintaining a happy kingdom". The humans all looked surprised "Hakuna ma what" they all said together. Simba grinned "nothing" he said you'll find out what it means later".
Suddenly Zazu flew in through the cave entrance. "Sire" he called "The hunting party has returned" "Thanks Zazu" said Simba who then turned to his guests "You don't mind waiting here while I get the food do you". "No not at all" said Steve. Zazu and Simba then exited out the cave to bring in the 'feast'. The humans were so glad to hear that Simba wasn't angry with them. "Gee that Simba sure is cute isn't he Steve" said Venus. "Yeah Venus but I sure can't wait to see what they have on the menu I'm famished"
"So am I" said Matt. "But Steve I've been thinking you know that they're animals right" "Right" repeated Steve and Venus together. "Well if I'm correct which I'm sure I am they're going to eat raw food"! "Say you're right Matt this is an emergency" said Steve sounding panicky. "What are we going to do Steve" said Venus in distress. "I don't know Venus for once I'm licked". "Gosh we have been abducted by aliens, done battle with little green men and we've even saved earth from being destroyed numerous times but for once we're licked" said Matt. "There is only one thing for it then" said Steve "We'll have to tell them that we can't eat their food". "No Steve" said Venus "That'll be so rude" protested the doctor of medicine. "Well Venus you're the doctor" said Matt "What our chances of getting out alive this time are". "Well Professor we all know that eating raw meat is very bad for our bodies but I say we have a one percent chance of getting through his one alive"! "Ok let's take that chance" said Steve "Here comes Simba now" said Matt.
Simba arrived back in the cave with Zazu and the other lions and lionesses, who along with visiting Timone and Pumbaa had come for the feast. "We're here with the dinner Colonel Zodiac". "Hmm wow looks delicious" said Matt trying his best to look pleased.
"Gee Professor don't over do it" said Venus. "It looks lovely" said Steve looking hesitant. Kovu dropped a big hunk of Antelope meat in front of the three visitors. "Eat up" said Kovu "It'll be good for you" "I bet it will" said Venus looking and feeling sick!
Steve could take it no longer the lions were looking at them like they were forcing them to eat it! "listen you're majesty I don't been to sound rude but we…" "Yes" said Simba. "Wedon'treallylikeeatingrawmeatcouldwepleasecookit" said Steve all in one go! Everyone laughed "Of course you can" said Simba laughing. "You can eat the meat in your own special way if you wish". Steve, Venus and Matt all took a deep sigh. "thank you you're majesty" said steve. "Yeah thanks" said Matt looking rather relieved. Venus then felt much better. "But Steve how are we going to cook the meat" said Venus. "Simple" said Steve. "I'll make a camp fire outside if that's ok with the king of course".
"Of course it is Zodiac" said Simba. "And from what I hear you creatures can handle fire very well" "Thanks you're majesty" said Steve. "Please call me Simba" replied the king "Now you three best get you're fire set up and come in and join us once you are ready".
"Ok thanks again Simba" said Steve as he picked up the hunk of antelope and he and his friends went outside to start building the fire. "Gee Steve King Simba sure is a boss guy" said Matt "Yeah" agreed Venus "And I can't wait to taste what Antelope meat is like". "Well what ever it is like Venus We'll soon find out one things certain it'll taste much better cooked". "Look there's Zooney" Venus said as she ran over to her pet while Steve and matt started gathering up sticks to build the fire. "Hello Zooney" she said "What do you think of our new friends" she asked her pet. "Hakuna Matata" said Zooney. "Now I wonder where you learnt that from" said Venus. "One thing for sure I'm certain I'll find out real soon"…
