With the land flourishing once agin, all the animals returned to Pride Rock to celebrate the birth of King Simba and Queen Nala's cub.
With Pumbaa, Timon, his Ma & Uncle Max, and Zazu by their side, Simba and Nala watched proudly as Rafiki held up their cub for the entire animal kingdom to see.
Pumbaa: {whimpering} It's over already?
Timon: Well, Pumbaa. That's the thing about endings. They come at the end.
Pumbaa: {brightening} Ooh, can we watch it again?
Timon: Pumbaa, we just saw it. Maybe tomorrow.
Ma: {entering} Hey, what are you guys doing? {gasps as she sees the screen} You didn't tell me you were watching a movie! I wanna watch too!
Timon: Ma, we just finished. Show's over.
Ma: Well, you're just gonna have to rewind it! {She grabs the remote and begins rewinding.}
Timon: {pained} Ma!
Ma: Uncle Max! We're gonna watch a movie!
Timon: {despairing} Oh, no!
Uncle Max: {entering, carrying a box of popcorn} Hey, I brought extra butter!
Simba: {entering, walking along the seatbacks} Hey, you guys are watching the movie?
Eliza: {enters as well with Darwin} Mind if Darwin and I join ya?
Rafiki: {swinging in on vines} Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo! Any story worth telling is worth telling twice.
{The silhouette of SpongeBob Squarepants walks in and sits down.}
SpongeBob: Come on, guys. I hope we can make do with the few provisions we have.
Timon: What the...
{Patrick Star comes in, holding a smorgaboard of snacks, with Ariel carrying Flounder's fishbowl and Sebastian perched on her shoudler.
Patrick: Oh, I'm sure we'll be able to pull through...the first hour.
Sebastian: Hmm. Better make that fifteen seconds.
Timon: Who is this crowd?
{Belle, the Beast, Annie & Pony, frogs Tiana & Naveen, Louis & Ray, and Pongo & Perdita are also seated in this row; Lincoln Loud holds his hands up.}
Lincoln: Yes! I got dibs on the center seat.
Lynn: Err! {pushes Lincoln away} Wrong, Stinkoln. I call dibs on the seat.
Lisa: I disagree. The center seat is mine.
Luna: No way, dudes. That seat is mine!
Lola: No, it's mine!
Lana: No, mine!
Leni: No, it's totes mine!
Lori: It's literally mine.
{Soon, the Loud siblings start fighting for the seat; the Dalmatian puppies join in the scuffle}
Ray: {lets out a whistle} Y'all hush up! There's plenty o' seats for everyone.
Tiana: Just let 'em be, Ray. Let 'em be.
Timon: Hey, watch it!
{Timon soon finds himself trapped inside the fight cloud, which he was flung out of, landing next to Pumbaa as the movie, still rewinding, nears the beginning.}
Timon: {resigned} Okay, buddy. You win.
Pumbaa: {hands Timon the remote} Sure you don't mind?
Timon: {sincere} Hakuna Matata.
Somebody: Shh.
Patrick: Sorry.
Pumbaa: Uh, Timon...I still don't do so well in crowds.
Author's Note:
Since this is a Disney/Nickelodeon crossover, I had to add some cameos from "SpongeBob Squarepants and the Little Mermaid" to "101 Loud Dalmatians," including the upcoming sequel to the latter, "The Loud Rabbits and the Frog Princess," & "Beauty, Pony and the Beast," set for publication in early 2024 and early 2025.
