Hey everyone, here's the new chapter. I hope you enjoy, tell me whatcha think. I don't own nothing of Lion King, k…happy now!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Pumba help me!" Timon wailed, as he was struggling inside the mouth of a young cub with only his head and feet sticking out.
"Don't worry Timon, I'll save you!" Pumba yelled as he raced around the corner to where the cub was hiding.
He was ready to charge at what he thought was an enemy who had his friend.
"Whaaaat..." A quite clueless Pumba stated rather than asked.
"eh umba, meh an kemon er jus plahen." (Translation: Hey Pmba, me and Timon are just playing) The cub tried to say with Timon still in his mouth.
"Good job Timon, you found him."
"Yeah yeah yeah, just get him to spit me out."
"Now Bakari, you know what your mother says about putting things in your mouth that your not supposed too." Pumba lectured, Bakari just rolled is eyes and did his best to suck Timon all the way in before spitting him out like a giant ball of spit.
Timon landed on the ground, rolling to a stop in front of Pumba. He picked himself off the ground and tried to dust the dirt off of him, but that didn't help because it was stuck to him. He was dripping from head to toe in salvia, causing Pumba and Bakari to do their best not to laugh. He shook most of it off, but he was still covered in a slim layer of it. Pumba and Bakari started cracking up as soon as Timon brushed the orange fur on his head back. Now it was standing straight up and dripping with spit.
"What!" Timon yelled who was still in the dark as to what they were laughing at.
Bakari just walked past him and Pumba and headed for Pride Rock getting ready to get an ear full from his parents. He was startled as a certain hornbill landed on a rock nearby.
"Prince, your parents have been deathly worried for you. You know better than to run off." Bakari received the second lecture for the day and unfortunately many more would come.
The cub just continued to walk by him and silently mock him. Zazu jumped of the rock and was flying behind him.
"Awww, come on Zazu, I was only having a little fun." He whined slightly looking back at his guardian.
"And anyhow aren't you a little old for this. Following me around and telling me what to do." He spoke before Zazu knowing he was hitting a nerve.
"...Uhgh, I've served many kings and their heirs and if you aren't the most disrespectful of..." He stopped as soon as he noticed Bakari was gone.
But before he had the chance to panic, the Prince yelled down at him from Pride Rock.
"Hey Zazu, whatcha waiting for." He laughed at the stunned then aggravated look that crossed Zazu's face.
"Uhh humm..." Bakari could here his father clear his throat behind him.
Bakari meekly turned around and smiled nervously. He growled slightly as Zazu flew up and began to tattle on him.
"I found him running around out by the rock outcroppings." Zazu started but Timon and Pumba had gotten here now and interjected.
"Not to mention I became a chew toy." Timon pouted and cocked his eyebrow as everyone gave him weird looks.
"What happened to your fur, and..snifsniff...you smell disgusting." Kiara got a whiff of him as Timon slited his eyes and looked at Pumba.
"You try to tell them but do they listen, noooo..." He rambled as he walked off, Pumba following behind his own friend.
"Great now we can talk about what to do with you." Zazu began, pointing a wing at the cub in question.
Kiara and Kovu looked at Zazu silently telling him that it was between them and their son. Zazu understood and flew of to stick his beak somewhere else mumbling something like.
"If I never..."
"Now we can talk about what you've done. You know better than to wander off on your own, it's dangerous out there. You may be the Prince but the Circle of Life comes before royalty and the animals know that." Kovu scolded his son, who hunched his shoulders, flattened his ears to his light brown/dark tawny fur. (A bit lighter than Kovu's but darker than the other lions) and looked down at the ground not daring to look at his parents angry faces.
"Son, we just want to keep you safe. Next time ask us first and go with Zazu or Timon and Pumba." Kiara spoke before Kovu deciding to let her son of the hook this time.
Kovu silently agreed before nuzzling his wife.
"I understand." He spoke before slinking timidly into the den, searching out for his best friend.
Finding her sleeping besides her mother, he nudged her gently.
"Solara, wake up. Are you gonna sleep all day." He whispered care full not to wake her mother.
She opened her sapphire eyes, before looking at her mother who was still sleeping.
"I have to ask my mom first."
"Fine whatever..." He rolled his eyes.
"Mom, mom wake up. MOM!" She yelled in her mother's ear causing her to jump.
"What is it?" She hissed after her daughter made her heart skip a beat.
"Can I go play with Bakari, please...?" She begged her mother.
"Please Aunty Vitani!" Bakari backed up his friend.
"Fine, but you two better not wander off." She yawned half heatedly before going back to sleep.
The two cubs bounded out of the cave and ran to the bottom of Pride Rock where they started to play a game of tag. But soon they had unknowingly wandered a little bit off into some high grass. When they noticed this the grass was taller than them but they could still see Pride Rock. They quickly headed straight back not wanting to be in any more trouble in Bakari's case. But they stopped frozen in their tracks as a high pitched cry ran in their ears, then low growling and hissing. The cubs looked around fearfully as the grass nearby rustled. Whatever it was it seemed to be circling them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay everyone, what do ya think. Hey let's make a little challenge. Who can guess who it is that is circling the cubs? First person who guess's right can make their own character they'd like me to include or a cool new side plot. Here's a clue, it's what the animal looks like.
It has a small, delicate head and extremely large ears set on an elongated neck, long slim legs (hind legs longer than front), long slender body and a short tail. The ears are black on the back with a distinctive white spot, and the tail has 6 or 7 black rings and a black tip. The coat color is pale yellow with black markings, either of large spots that tend to merge into longitudinal stripes on the neck and back, or of numerous small spots, which give a speckled appearance.
Okay there it is, I've already drawn pictures of Bakari and the white cub from Chap.2. But I don't have any way to get it on the comp. I may get a scanner this Christmas so maybea by then. I haven't decide what Solara should look like yet so work with me. Here's a description of Bakari.
His coat is lighter than Kovu's but darker than Kiara's. His underbelly and mouth area is light tawny. His eyes are forest green with burgundy circling the green and the same yellowish part as the other lions where it would be white for humans. He has black tufts of hair on the side, inside and on top of his ear. A black tuft on his head and the elbow part of his front legs. He's got some black fur on his shoulders and on his hind quarter's right above his tail. His tail has a black tuft too. The insides of his ear is light black as well as the top color around his eyes, the bottom color around his eyes is dark brown. The fur on his tail gets darker as it goes towards the black tuft. He's got four black marks, one is on his hind quarters which is a small black line right before his tail. The other is a long black line going down his neck. The third one is under his left eye and is like a wide V that follows the shape of the lower eye. The last one is a bit more complicated. It's on the center side of his right eye. It's sorda like a thick line with a ridge. Ohh and he's gotta cute black nose. Okay that's the best I could do, trust me It looks better than it sounds.
