Meanwhile, a still cranky Banzai was lying in the den, grumbling to himself. "That sneaky, little Shenzi! I'll get her for that!" He grumbled to himself, really angry with his friend for that trick. "But how? Should I prank her back? Nah, that's lame. Steal her dinner? No, I'd be mauled myself. Hmmm…" As he thought of revenge, he saw a strange lion and a lioness in the Outlands, looking kind of cranky. Since Banzai had good hearing, he managed to make out what they were saying.
"Ugh, I can't believe Vitani set me up with you of all lions!" The lioness yelled.
"Oh, and you think I'm having a good time? Doesn't Vitani know we hate each other?!" The lion shouted back. Banzai raised his eyebrows, and then an evil smile grew on his face.
"I think I just found my revenge!" He said evilly to himself. "But how can I put it in action? Hmm…?"
*A few hours later*
"So, why are we doing this?" Scar asked, sounding annoyed. He had a thin vine tied around his neck to look like a bowtie.
"I've asked him that eight times." Shenzi said in the same tone. She had a chain of white daisies around her head, beneath her ears like a crown, the bright colors contrasting from her darker hues.
"I told you guys!" Banzai said exasperatedly. "One of my ancestors is from Yudonia, and I decided to do a Friendship Ceremony! To see how the Yudonians do it! You know, Yudonia? Efanshnai! Efanshnai! Diga dai Oundah Efanshnai!" He sang, while dancing like an idiot. Shenzi starred at him with an extraordinarily annoyed expression.
"Friendship Ceremony? That's so stupid." She complained, scratching her head from the flower stems. "And if you did have a Yudonian ancestor, which I'm sure you don't, I would've known years ago!" She pointed out.
"C'mon, guys! Nobody else would do it!" Banzai begged.
"Have you even asked anybody else?" Shenzi asked.
"Uh actually heh heh… no." Banzai said while lowering his ears sheepishly. "C'mon, please?" He begged, going down on his knees, and clasping his paws together in front of the hyena matriarch. "I'll hunt for you for 3 days!" Shenzi put her paw on her chin to think.
"Make it a week, and you've got a deal." She replied. A big smile grew on Banzai's face.
"Oh, thank you so much, Shen-!" Banzai started, but Shenzi interrupted.
"Let's get this over with." She grumbled.
"Yeah, let's get this stupid thing done already. This vine is cutting off my blood circulation." Scar complained, tugging at the vine around is neck.
"OK, OK! We'll get started!" Banzai said, and cleared his throat.
*A minute later*
"And now you may, as you say, kiss the bride!" Banzai said excitedly with a clearly fake Yudonian accent. Shenzi and Scar's expressions went to bored to totally confused.
"One more time?" Scar asked, while Shenzi just stood in place.
"Just as I said! You may kiss her!" Banzai replied.
"Oho no! I am not, I repeat, not kissing a hyena!" Scar shouted as he untied the vine around his neck and threw it to the ground.
"And I am NOT kissing a lion! No way, no how! Not even if you paid me!" Shenzi shouted as she threw off her flower crown in the grass.
"C'mon, guys! It's just one time! I swear! Please?" Banzai begged again. Shenzi leaned down so her nose was almost touching his.
"NO. N-O, NO. NOT, HAPPENING." She said firmly.
"I'll do your hunting for a week, and a half!" Banzai tried.
"Make it 2 weeks, and you've got a deal." She said, pointing a paw at him. After Banzai nodded, she walked towards Scar, still looking annoyed. "OK Scar, pucker up." She said in a monotone voice.
"Oh no, no way I'm kissing you! And I can do my own hunting, thank you very much!" He yelled in her face, and she squeezed her eyes shut, and her ears and bangs were blown back.
"You can have half of the food I get." Shenzi offered in a monotone voice. Scar leaned towards her face, so his nose was touching hers.
"No thank you, I already get my own food." He refused.
"Then you can uh, um…" Shenzi thought. She was stuck on what else to offer.
"She'll be your queen!" Banzai piped up.
"Say what now?" Shenzi asked, looking towards the male hyena. Scar smirked as he was scratching his head in thought.
"Queen, hmmm?" He asked. "I like where this is going." He finished as his smirk grew into a full smile.
"I don't." Shenzi said. "I'm not doing it, I changed my mind." She finished, crossing her arms, and pointing her nose to the sky.
"C'mon, Shenzi! You'll be treated like royalty!" Banzai insisted. Shenzi looked towards him with half-closed eyes, and a raised eyebrow.
"How's that any different from now?" She asked.
"The lions will completely respect you!" Banzai said, and she got a surprised look on her face. "They'll bring food to you, they'll hunt for you, and you'll be allowed in the Pridelands as long as you please!" He finished. Shenzi then gave in.
"Ugh fine, deal!" She grumbled with a huff. Then she walked over to Scar. "Let's get this over with." She finished, and she looked up at him with her big yellow eyes. She then stood on her toes, and pecked Scar on the lips really quickly. They both turned to Banzai. "You happy now?" She asked. He just looked at them with an annoyed expression.
"Ah, close enough." He said, doing a 'whatever' gesture with his paw. Then Shenzi suddenly jumped up in the air, and shouted
"YES! I'M FREE! WHOOO!" She tried to run off, but she accidentally bumped into Scar's leg. "Ow!" She muttered, rubbing her forehead. Then she ran off in the opposite direction. Scar just walked off the way the female hyena went, leaving Banzai smirking evilly.
"My revenge is complete!" He muttered to himself.
(A/N I'm so sorry I took so long to update! I wanted to use some of the lines from an episode of Drake and Josh called "We're Married." I wanted to use the lines from the Friendship Ceremony, but I couldn't find them, so I decided to skip them. Plus in this universe, Simba, Nala, Kovu, and Vitani are the same age. And Nuka's a teen at this time. Just saying so to avoid any confusion!)
