Chapter 12: Act I Scene IX Run

"Dad!" Simba exclaimed. The wildebeests were gone and he was climbing off of his ledge. "Dad!" He then saw his father under a tree that he had been clinging to earlier and he ran to him. "Dad! Dad, come on." He pushed against Mufasa's back but nothing happened. "You've gotta get up. Dad, we've gotta go home." He kept nudging and pushing at Mufasa but nothing happened. "Help! Somebody! Anybody." He then nuzzled under his father's paw and cried.

"Does he know?" Diana asked.

"He probably does, he's just in denial," Batman answered.

Scar then appeared behind Simba. She was walking toward Simba as she said,

"Simba, what have you done?" Simba turned around to see his aunt.

"It was an accident," Simba responded. "He tried to save me. I-I never meant for this to happen." Scar gently pulled Simba away from Mufasa's body.

"Of course you didn't," Scar said. She pulled Simba into an embrace with one paw. "No one ever means for these to happen. But the king is dead. And if it weren't for you the king would still be alive. Oh, and what will your mother think?" Simba pulled away from Scar.

"What am I gonna do?" Simba asked.

"Run, run away, Simba. And never return," Scar said to her nephew. Simba then ran off to stage left. Then three hyenas appeared behind Scar as soon as Simba had left the stage. "Kill him." The hyena trio ran after Simba. The "chase" went on for about a minute until Bonsai stopped suddenly and that caused the other two hyenas to crash into him causing him to fall off stage. Then Bonsai yelped and went back up on the stage. He was now covered in thorns and thistles. The other two hyenas laughed at seeing Bonsai. Shenzi then noticed something.

"Hey! There he goes," Shenzi exclaimed.

"So go get him," Bonsai responded. He was pulling out the thrones on his butt.

"I'm not going into that throne pile," Shenzi told him. "Why would I? So I could end up coming out like you, Cactus But!?" Bonsai then spat some of the thrones that he had removed into Ed's laughing face. Ed whimpered.

"But we've got to finish the job!" Bonsai reminded her.

"Well, he's as good as dead out there," Shenzi said. "Even if he does come back we'll kill him."

"Yeah!" Bonsai exclaimed. "You here that!" He said to the offstage area. "You come back you're dead! You hear me! You're dead!"

"Wally, would you PLEASE refill my soda?" Shayera asked.

"No," Flash answered. "You can wait for intermission like the rest of the world."

"But you don't wait for intermission," Superman said.

"Look, I don't do soda runs; I do snack runs," Flash explained. "I spill soda when I go at super speed."

"Could you guys be quiet?" Lantern asked. "The next scene is about to start."

Sorry I haven't updated this story but school has been awful. Anyways, SNOW DAY today so I'll see if I can get another chapter up. And after the next chapter is intermission and I'll TRY to finish the play as soon as possible since you're probably bored at this point.
