Disclaimer: I do not own the Lion King. Disney does. I just own the plot. I'm not making anything of this. I just like writing.
Authors Note: Wow. I really didn't expect reviews. oO I'm surprised. I really am. I guess I shall continue writing it then.
We return to the story, Sarabi trying to work off her temper. It has always been a strange thing really. Such arguments between the two as young ones.
Her paws collided with the ground, claws sinking into the dirt, soon relieving their grip to leave the small holes in the ground. Why was she the object that was pushed around everyday? Why did she have to be shoved into the river multiple times? She had never done anything to Mufasa, anyway. The cub growled, her snout wrinkling in disgust, before she stormed inside one of the caves on Pride Rock, and sat there in a bored manner, her breathing loud, as she began to calm down.
And why didn't her mother really help with it all? Her only suggestion was ignore it. And that never worked. He would just stand there being stupid, and never leave. It was hard to just ignore someone for hours on end. Sarabi sighed. Was there any cure to this awful problem? She hated Mufasa for all his awful antics and pranks. Hadn't his parents ever trained him right? And all his friends laughed at Sarabi whenever he managed to trick her into something. They were always there, ready to mark mockingly at her.
Oh, Sarabi would get them! They were going to get a taste of their own medicine! But how would she get them all? How would she prank them all at the same time? How would she, Sarabi, jeered at by all of that lion's friends, manage to get them to follow her to the same place at the same time? She would need an expert plan... A plan that may take a while. And she felt she was lacking patience at the moment. She wanted to get back at Mufasa now!
Sarabi's brow creased, as she began to think. Maybe... No, that was stupid. Nothing far-fetched would work! She had to remember that. As much as she wanted the outrageous ideas in her mind to be a success, she had to be serious with it all. Well... she'd have to think of traits– other than stupid, pushy, and all the other awful things... Well, they were greedy. That might come in handy.
That might just work... Sarabi thought, her ears flicking slightly, Those greedy lions will just fall for it like... Whatever falls...
She had no time to think of similes at the moment. She needed to get her plan ready. She needed to trick them into falling into a trap of hers... And she knew how. She had figured it out. And it might just work, after all. Brilliant. She'd just have to perfect a few kinks and... it would be perfect. Those lion cubs wouldn't know what hit them.
A malicious grin appeared on the face of Sarabi, as she began to scheme her revenge within the cave. The magnificent thought of laughing at Mufasa never left her. She would get revenge on that lion, and nothing would stop her. She wouldn't let anything.

The golden-brown cub prowled across the thick tree branches, another one cruising along behind him. Another lion sat below on the ground, leaning against the trunk, while the last lion in the area was attacking a vine a few metres away. A sigh erupted from one of their mouths.
'I'm bored' one of them stated, scrabbling down the trunk of the tree to return to the ground. His claws scratched the ground in annoyance.
'Of course we aren't, Zei' one of them said, sarcastically, 'We're just hanging around in the most uninteresting place because we're having too much fun.'
Zei's mouth turned in a frown. 'Shut it, Mufasa' he hissed, his eyebrows lowering, so he glowered at the lion in anger, 'I didn't expect a sarcastic remark; I expected a solution.'
'We all want a solution!' the cub leaning against the tree trunk piped up, 'This place can be so boring!'
Mufasa took his turn in leaping from the tree, scrabbling at the rough bark, before landing somewhat gracefully at the bottom, also frowning. Life could be so boring at times. 'We could--'
'Be quiet' Zei said, 'We all know what you're going to say– Only once a day. I believe you're becoming obsessed, Mufasa...'
'Fine. Come up with something, then' Mufasa stated, prowling past Zei. He glanced up at the lion cub attacking the vine, before bellowing, 'Get down here, Quirk!' It was a strange name; but it was more of a nickname for the lion.

Sarabi crept forward, spotting the four lions, grouped about, discussing what they were to do. The lioness cub grinned, before she let a loud growl rumble in her throat, once sitting comfortably behind a bush. Everything was ready. Everything was ready for action. Those lions didn't know what was coming.
