Author's Note: Thanks to all of my excellent readers, Eviscerating the Fourth Wall has officially become my most viewed story out of everything I've ever published, finally knocking "Han Solo Shot First" of the top spot after just under two months of being online. I would like to give my most sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone who made this story my biggest hit to date, and also my fastest growing story to date.

Chapter XX

The meerkat turned himself over to Pumbaa. In a suddenly tired voice, he took a deep breath as he said to his friend, "Here Pumbaa, you get the next one. You know which one it is."

Seeing as it was his turn to read the following fanfic, he nodded and stood up, moving over to the laptop while Timon walked over to Kopa and Vitani's side of the den. He threw himself lazily against the wall nearby Kopa's tail as he tried to make himself comfortable for the remainder of this next story. He laid on his back and placed his hands behind his head, taking a relaxing deep breath as he did so.

"So Pumbaa, you remember what I told you to read them last night, right?" He asked him casually. Pumbaa nodded. "Sure thing, Timon."

"What is it this time?" Nala asked curiously. To this, Pumbaa replied, "Well Nala, this one's called The King's Heir. It's about back when Scar and Zira were the rulers of this place."

Vitani groaned. "Oh great, as if we haven't heard enough about them in the last three days."

Kopa added, "Well, who knows? Maybe this could be good. What else is it about, Pumbaa?"

The warthog started read them off his own version of the description, but stuttered in confusion at the beginning. "It's about... them finding a human and lion hybrid and then they turn him into a lion. Then there's a... a prophecy about him being their heir."

He turned around and was immediately met with the blankest stares he had ever seen in his life. Even Timon, who knew exactly what was to come seemed a bit baffled by this.

"Uh... what?" Simba asked with little tone to his voice.

"That's... that has to be the weirdest thing I've ever heard in my life." Kiara said. Pumbaa smiled at her. "Well The Lion King Oscars sounded weird too, and that turned out good, didn't it?"

She paused. "Well.. that is true."

"How is there a hybrid between a human and a lion?" Kovu asked with a disgusted tone in his voice, clearly getting suspicious about that concept. "Does... does that mean that some lion and a human ... they..."

He would've gone on from there, but suddenly Vitani interrupted. "Kovu, j-just don't go any further with that. If you stop right there, we're all gonna live a lot longer."

Simba abruptly sighed in relief. "Thank you." He said to her softly, placing a paw over his eyes.

"Well go ahead, Pumbaa. Let's start it." Nala said with some curiosity.

Timon chuckled as he lay there lazily in between Kopa and Vitani, thinking he was going to get a good kick out of the reactions here. However, against all odds he found out too late that he may have overestimated his trust in Pumbaa with pulling up the right page to read once he began.

My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down. It was seventy-five degrees in Phoenix, the sky a perfect, cloudless blue. I was wearing my

The meerkat's eyes shot open faster and harder than they ever had before in his entire life. Gasping, he swiftly leapt up to his feet quicker than any around him had even known that he could. He got up so fast in fact, it made Kopa and Vitani jump in shock. Timon sprinted towards Pumbaa where he stopped reading right away. He shrieked in fear as he leapt up to his tusks and gripped onto his face with his hand, bringing his eyes up to his face.

"Pumbaa!" He screamed. "Are you nuts?! We agreed we would never speak of that! Never!"

He looked at the screen. "You pulled up the wrong page you idiot!" He screamed in horror. Jumping off of Pumbaa's tusk now, he dove to the ground and started furiously typing in the correct web address this time. Simultaneously, all six of the listeners had taken a step or two back from him, looking genuinely scared for Timon.

"Uhh... T-Timon?" Simba stuttered. "What... what's g-"

"No!" Timon interrupted with his voice sounding borderline demonic now. "You do not need to know what that was!" He squealed so loud it echoed through the air outside of the cave. He violently typed up the correct site now, and struck the 'enter' key as though he were stabbing something.

"What's going-?" Kovu tried to ask, but like with Simba, he was abruptly cut off. "No! No, we never speak of it! You never heard that, Pumbaa didn't just read that to you!... It doesn't exist!"

"Should I be scared now?" Kiara whispered to Kovu. He nodded. "I think I am."

Making one more effort to get an answer, Vitani spoke up. "What was that, Timon?! What're you even... why did you just freak out like that?"

This time, the meerkat answered much to her surprise. He turned to her and frantically he replied, "The less you know, the longer you'll live!"

"But what-?" Kopa tried to ask, but Timon cut him off and repeated himself, sounding more angry this time. "The less you know the longer you'll live!"

Finally, Timon exhaled loudly as he got the right page this time. He looked up to Pumbaa. "Now Pumbaa..." He said irritated but at the same time pleadingly. "Promise me... promise me!... That you'll never do that again."

Looking concerned, Pumbaa replied, "Uh, I promise?"

Timon simply sighed and wiped the sweat off of his forehead. Turning around he went back to his spot in the den while Simba and each of the others stared at him like he had just committed a murder, staring, gaping and fearing for him all of a sudden.

"I'm going to pretend that never happened." said Simba awkwardly. Timon nodded in his direction.

"Yeah, that's definitely for the best, buddy."

And finally after that unexpected distraction, Pumbaa began the story titled The King's Heir.

A few days ago in the Pridelands, Scar and Zira both had a nightmare about the end of their kingdom, then that nightmare became a dream, a dream of hope for their kingdom, a human boy with a lion tail, that turns into a Lion, will save their kingdom and be their new heir to the throne,

"So if it ended with someone saving them, it wasn't exactly a nightmare, now was it?" Nala commented.

after waking up, both Scar and Zira, had lift the Pridelands to search for their new heir,

"Wait, what about Nuka?" Vitani asked curiously. "He was alive by this time, wasn't he?"

"And why would they just leave to find an heir without even saying a word to each other?" Kovu added. "That seemed pretty quick."

Here, Kopa snickered. The lion said to his brother-in-law, "Oh no, Kovu. If they actually talked to one another, that would imply that they can actually show some kind of emotion for each other. Come on, man, you know better than to expect that from them."

Kiara and Nala both laughed at what he said. The lion replied to Kopa after a pause, "True."

before they can began, they went to some old friends of theirs and they were transformed into Humans, Scar is now a tall Man with Black hair, Green eyes, and still have that Scar on his lift eye,

Uncomfortable silence fell upon the den for a few moments. "...Whaaa...?" Simba suddenly said, sounding absolutely dazed and confused while his eyes bulged.

"They... they turned into humans?!" Vitani said loudly. "W-why? How? How the hell did they even do that?!"

"That's ridiculous!" Kiara added. "Where did they go for that? What did they use to do that?!"

Simba rubbed his face with his paw. "This is going to be a long story."

Zira is now a tall Woman with Brown hair, and red eyes, they explain to Scar and Zira that they will be humans until they are back in Africa and into the Pridelands, and their friends gave them cloths to wear

"Who's they?!" Nala said loudly. "Who did that? Why did they do it?"

Vitani added, "If this were really how they wanted an heir, they would've just found a starving lion couple with two infant cubs, killed the couple, and then abducted the cubs as their own! That's how they really did it!"

She did not sound at all proud of that statement, and no one could blame her.

"And wait a minute here!" Kiara said. "They said that... whoever the hell these people are gave them clothes to wear? So... they were naked before that?"

When she said this, Kopa suddenly bellowed in disgust, bowing his head downwards. "Dammit, Kiara! Do not give me that image now! Please, God no!"

Kiara winced. "Sorry." She said apologetically.

Then, Timon spoke up. "Geeze, that is a pretty disgusting thing to think about, actually... ah well. I've seen worse."

"Really Timon?" Simba asked him, sounding entirely unimpressed. Timon cocked his eyebrow. "What? Come on, you know we've already seen worse than that, buddy. Remember the crap about you and Kovu?..."

At this moment Simba was hardly a second away from screaming or roaring in anger at his friend, but before he could, Kiara gave her father a devious smile. Simba glanced over to her when she did this, and he knew what this meant immediately. The king walked over to his daughter, and his enraged face had disappeared. He whispered into her ear, "Do you think after this, we should do it?"

Kiara knew he was referring to the plan she had suggested on the first day of this whole affair. She laughed before she whispered back to him, "Yeah, we've been holding it off for long enough!"

Simba smiled now and went over to Nala. He whispered this information to her, prompting the lioness to laugh quietly with excitement. Timon noticed this, and then saw that Kiara had a rather proud expression on her face.

"Hey, what're you guys whispering about over there?" He asked, sounding suspicious. Simba laughed to himself.

"N-nothing, Timon!" He lied. "Just something about the story, that's all!"

"Yeah, we were just betting on where this story's going to go." Nala added. Timon cocked his eyebrow.

"Okay then... I guess?"

The meerkat simply shrugged it off right then, not knowing a thing about what had just gone down between Simba, Kiara and Nala. The plan involving the Shenzi/Timon smut was going to go into effect after this story. The payback for putting them through all this insanity was on its way.

and then Scar and Zira began their search, Today they are now in the country of the United States, in Evansville, Indiana,

"Uh, Pumbaa?" Kopa asked. "Is that place far away, by any chance?"

Pumbaa opened his mouth to say something, but Timon casually cut in for him. "Is four and a half thousand miles away on the other side of an ocean far enough for you?"

Kopa raised his eyebrows. "Four thousand miles? How the hell did they get there then?"

"And how did they get over an ocean?" Vitani questioned. "I mean I know that at least Zira could swim, but that far?!"

"But you want to know the saddest part about that, Vitani?" Kiara said to her sister-in-law. Vitani cocked her eyebrow. "This still makes more sense than The Lion of the Rings did!"

Several of them laughed at her comment, Vitani included. Timon decided to add, "One does not simply swim into America... literally."

at the Evansville Regional Airport, they meet a Man that is very tall and that they are supposed to meet as Scar said, " Are you Charlie?" Charlie says, " Yes Scar and Zira, I'm Charlie, I have been assigned by your friends in Africa as your driver and bodyguard." Zira said, " We are looking for are heir to throne, do you know where he is?" Charlie says, " Get in my car, I will explain on the way."

"Hey, what's a car?" Kiara asked Pumbaa with curiosity. Without hesitation, the warthog turned around and answered her, "Well Kiara, it's... it's eh, something that most humans use to get around. They can use them to go places instead of walking, and you sit in them while they do that."

Kiara gave him a baffled expression. "So... they do that instead of walking?"

"Pretty much." He said.

"Well that sounds kind of lazy." She went on. "Wouldn't they want to walk from place to place every once in a while?"

Timon now snickered. "Ah Kiara, if only you could see how these people really are."

their got into his car and started driving than Charlie said, " I know where your new heir is, we are heading to where he is now, here this is his file." Charlie handed Scar the file, then he and Zira opened it, and saw information about him and saw a photo of their heir, he is a teenaged human, with brown hair and green eye and a lion tail similar to the one, they saw in their dreams, than Scar asked, " Who is this?" Charlie said while driving, " The boy you see, his name is Richard Moore, he is a junior student at Reitz High School, he is not a ordinary student, unlike the other students, he is a hybrid."

"What's a high school?" Simba asked his friend, making him grunt with annoyance. Timon replied,

"Well Simba, for the humans it's pretty much four years of anxiety, pain, sexual tension, embarrassment, and lunches that are so bad I'm honest to God shocked that they haven't maimed somebody yet."

From here on out, every time the story would mention a human invention or place that the lions had no knowledge of, Pumbaa would stop and explain the concept of it to them so they would better understand the story. Doing this repeatedly became very tiring as the story progressed.

Scar and Zira both asked, " A what?" Charlie said, " A hybrid, a hybrid is a specie that is born from two parents, that are different species." Scar asked, " What kind of hybrid is Richard?" Charlie said, " he is a human and a lion hybrid, his mother was a human, while his father was a lion, and also to tell you two, he has a tail of a lion."

Kopa suddenly interrupted, "Alright, that's it, someone's gotta say it... what lion would ever be horny enough to go for a human woman?"

Vitani soughed to his side. "You had to ask, didn't you?"

"Come on Vitani, I know you think that's as weird as I do." Her mate replied. She bowed her head in embarrassment.

"Weird would be undermining it." Vitani said softly.

Scar and Zira were surprised to hear this, than Charlie said, " We're here." Scar and Zira saw the school for the first time and saw that it was big and Scar asked, " How are we going to find him?" Charlie says, " It's near his lunch time, he is going to eat soon, you are going to find him in the middle of the school, what they call 'the link', Richard is going to cross from the old building to the new building, you are going to meet him, and talk to him, while I sign him out of the school." Scar and Zira nodded, then Charlie said, " But to warn you, this school is got security, they got both Police and Sheriff Departments here, so be careful they are armed, and they will call backup if necessary."After the brief, Scar and Zira walked in and it felt warm inside than outside, they than entered the link than waited, after a few minutes, students were everywhere, than they saw a student with a lion tail, that is their chosen heir, Richard Moore,

"Hey let me ask something here." Kiara said with a tone of her voice that made it clear she was annoyed. "A human kid with a goddamn lion tale isn't questioned at all by anybody else? Does anyone else find that hard to believe?"

"You took the words right out of my mouth, sis." Kopa said to her from across the den. "That's like if there was a lion here that didn't have a tail or stood on two legs, you'd think somebody would question it sooner or later."

"Relax, guys." Timon said casually. "Just listen, they'll explain it eventually. Trust me."

Nala snickered, "Really? The last time we trusted you Timon, we had to find out that our fans like to see my mate and my son-in-law bang for no reason."

Timon was silent for a moment. "Okay as much as I hate to admit it, Nala... I can't blame you for that one. Yeesh."

Scar and Zira followed Richard, into the cafeteria, than after Richard got his food and sat down they than walked to where Richard was, Scar got his attention, " Excuse me." than Richard turned around and saw a Man and Woman standing behind him, Scar says, " I hope I we're not bothering you." Richard says, " No, not at all." Zira says, " Do you mind if we talk to you for a minute." Richard says, " Of course, I got all the time, I'm not going no where, go ahead sit down."Scar and Zira sat next to Richard on both side, Scar began the introduction, " My name is Scar and this my wife Zira, we are from the Pridelands, which is in Africa." Richard says, " You know I some how recognize those names from before and I thing I heard about that place before, but from where, I thing, I might be thinking things, I'm Richard Moore, Nice to meet you two." Zira says, " It is cold outside." Richard agreed, " Yeah it is, in my country it is cold here in the winter, it also snow's here to and it's supposed to tonight, it is supposed to get to 10 degrees Fahrenheit tonight as well, which means the snow will stick to the road." Scar says, " Richard, we want you to come to Africa with us, it is very important, that you should come."

Out of nowhere, Timon suddenly spoke up once more trying to make his voice sound deeper than usual. He said, "Richard... if you take the blue pill, you wake up in your bed and stay here, but if you take the red pill... we show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

All inside except for Pumbaa gave him yet another blank stare, something he was almost expecting on a regular basis at this point. He laughed.

"Like you guys would ever know what that's from!" He said. Nala cocked her head.

"What is it from, Timon?" she asked sounding intrigued. "That sounded good." Timon stopped laughing, and his abruptly he made an effort to make his voice sound old and raspy.

"Only what you take with you, my young padawan."

He laughed again, leaving all six of the lions as confused as ever.

"Should I be concerned about him at all?" Kovu murmured to Kiara. The lioness shook her head. "Don't worry, he's been saying stuff like that since I was a cub. He told me once that if I ever saw where that came from, my mind would melt or something."

"I think his mind just melted." Kovu replied humorously.

Suddenly Pumbaa leaned into the meerkat and whispered to him, "Timon, maybe you should stop with the quotes. They're not going to get any of them. And frankly, Timon... you're kind of overdoing it with them now."

Timon shook his head. He thought to himself, Just as soon as the goddamned writer would stop making me say them..., implying that he knew something that the others most certainly did not.

Richard said, " I would have to check out at the office first."

"Wow, you've gotta love how fast this kid accepts random strangers' offers to take him to Africa." Kovu commented sarcastically. "I mean that's no reason for suspicion at all, now is it?"

Zira says, " Our friend Charlie has that taken care of, you just need to come us." Richard says, " All right." after Richard finished his lunch, just when they were about to leave two men came out of nowhere, one pulled out a Colt M1911 pistol with laser sighting, while the other one pulled out a Beretta Model 12,

"Well that escalated quickly." Simba sneered.

Scar and Zira, moved Richard out of the way, Scar pulled out two Beretta model 92SB pistols, as Zira pulls out a MP5K,

"Whoa, where the hell did they get guns from?" Simba asked sounding confused. "They never said they had those before!"

"This is really weird." Kovu said. "I mean, Scar and Zira as humans... with guns...? I just can't-"

He decided to end his statement right there. "Hey", Kiara said playfully. "It's no weirder than all of us sitting in a human bar with an evil ring while Timon gets wasted nearby."

This earned a few laughs from the others, but from Timon she got an an irritated groan.

"Would you please just let that go already?" He pleaded. "It wasn't that funny!"

"Nor did it make sense." Vitani added. "Hell, if that didn't make any sense, I don't think I care if this does either."

"Is there a name for that sort of thing?" Kopa asked her now. "Where you know something's not right but... you can't help but enjoy it? Have you ever had that feeling before, Vitani?"

She blushed and giggled. "Two days ago in the Water Hole, I guess?"

Kovu groaned. He said to them both, "Are you guys just asking me to claw my own eyes out now?"

the police officers saw this and pull out their Beretta Model 92SB pistol and a Colt M1911 pistol, and a shot out begins, the students made a run for it, the bad guys killed the two Police officers, while Scar and Zira got there chance, they shot the bad guys,

"Scar and Zira are the bad guys!" Simba cut in, suddenly sounding rather juvenile for using a term such as 'bad guys'.

than Zira crabbed Richard by the shirt with her hands and they met with Charlie, than Charlie escorted him to the car along with Scar and Zira, then after they got in the car and lift before the Police arrived, when they arrived at the Evansville Regional Airport, Scar and Zira thank Charlie, and Charlie lift in his car, as Scar and Zira got on the plane with Richard going with them to Africa.

"Okay then..." Nala said uncomfortably. "That was over with pretty quick, wasn't it?"

"You know, they really aren't going into much detail about anything here, are they?" Kiara pointed out. Vitani scoffed. "Hey, at least they aren't taking all night just to describe the grass or something this time."

After about 15 hours, they arrive at the Nairobi International Airport, after they got out of the plane, a black man by the name of Mark was standing there waiting for they're arrival than Scar said, " Good to see, Mark." Mark smiles and hugs his friend and says, " Nice to see you two made it alive, how was America?" Zira says, " Cold, very cold weather, over there." Mark says, " I figured it was cold in Indiana, where you just went, now that your back in Africa, lets show this kid his new home."

"Isn't it just great how this kid is absolutely ignoring the fact that his parents are probably worried sick about him?" Kiara said sarcastically. "I mean geeze, one day he's just in school and the next he's in Africa? They're probably looking all over for him by then!"

Simba shook his head and playfully corrected his daughter, "Oh no, Kiara. Remember he's a hybrid, and his father somehow boned a human woman."

"Oh great, as if I haven't already seen or heard enough of that to give me nightmares already!" Vitani remarked sounding exasperated. "Yeah thanks for that, Simba, I owe you one for the free tank of nightmare fuel!" She added sarcastically.

Scar and Zira agreed, than toke Richard into Marks Jeep, and they headed for the Pridelands, when they got around the Pridelands, they got out of the Jeep, Scar and Zira dranked the formula that would turn them back into Lions,

"Uh yeah, thanks for mentioning they used that before!" Simba remarked. "So now they finally tell us how they turned into humans?"

"Where did they get that stuff anyway?" Nala questioned. Here, Timon decided to give her an answer. "My money's on Rafiki. I say he made that stuff, Nala."

Nala cocked her eyebrow. "What makes you say that, Timon?"

"If he can turn you and Simba back into cubs out of nowhere, anything's possible with that crazy monkey."

Richard than saw the transformation, than when the transformation ended Richard got scared and tried to run for his life, but Scar and Zira surrounded Richard, Richard got scared even more, than Scar came to Richard, licked his hands and says to calming voice, " Don't be afraid, we won't harm you, I am a King of my land and Zira is my Queen." Richard bows to them and asked, " But why did you never tell me that you were a King and Queen, I would have been more respectful in front of your presence, back in my country."

"Again, why did he just go with them without questioning anything?" Vitani asked. "This is officially getting too weird for me."

Kopa smiled at her. "So you mean to say that it wasn't weird or confusing before, huh?"

His mate sat silently for a moment. "Touche, Kopa... touche."

Scar said, " To avoid, been known by your people from your country, now we are going to see some old friend of are's and they are going to change your life forever, and turn you into a Lion." Richard asked, " Why do you want to turn me into a Lion for?"

"So the fans can have fresh meat with a new character to ruin in the smut art!" Simba called out in a mocking voice.

Scar and Zira both said, " We want you to be as are new heir to the throne." Richard was surprised to hear this, these two Lions that were ingested as Humans to find a new heir to their throne and chosen him, to be their new prince, Richard says, " I … I don't know what to say, I would be honored to be your new heir, but there is a problem, I don't know anything about royalty, or how to rule a kingdom, I was born in a country that is a Republic, a Democratic form of Government, not a Monarchy Government like you have, I don't know anything about it."

"Hey, remember back in The Lost Prince?" Kovu said mockingly with a hint of sarcasm. "When Kopa found out he was a prince and went through all that crap to accept it over time? This kid just shrugs that off like it's nothing!"

"Hey, at least he could still probably do better than either Scar or Zira could." Simba said to him. Kovu gave him a content look, unable to deny that statement.

Nala added, "Plus he probably won't try to have sex a lioness half his freaking age not giving a damn if Zira ever found out or not!"

Timon perked up when she said this, looking up to Kopa now. The meerkat looked concerned. "Do... do I even want to know?"

Kopa shook his head. "Don't worry, Scar didn't actually get to her." He said assuringly. "Hell, if I could say the same for Zira, I could've actually had a normal childhood!"

Simba looked over to his son. "Kopa, none of us had a normal childhood."

"At least not yet." The prince murmured to himself, looking intently down to Vitani' stomach now and remembering that she was going to give birth in a matter of months. When his own cubs were born, he was going to do everything in his power to make sure they would have the childhood he himself wished he could've had.

"Trust me, they'd be the first ones in generations." Simba finished.

Scar says, " After your transformation, and after you meet the Pride and my Hyena friends, I will teach you, on how to rule the kingdom, how to rule as a king, and to obey your king, understand." Richard says, " Yes, your Majesty." Scar said, " Good, climb on my back." Richard obeyed and got on Scar's back and they walk toward the direction their friends place.

Upon finishing chapter one, Pumbaa ceased to read and caught his breath. As routine called for, he turned around and asked everybody what their thoughts were so far. Kopa was the first to answer.

"This is really weird so far." He said. "I mean, it's not horrible, but all of that stuff the humans have... I can't imagine half of it."

Vitani nodded beside him decidedly enthusiastically. "The beginning definitely threw me off too. But maybe now that they're at Pride Rock things will get better. I'll listen to see what happens next now."

Nala then said, "I agree with Vitani here. I... don't have a clue what to make of the beginning or even the first half. But now I'm hoping things will be easier to understand."

Simba then gave his response. "Well, I don't want to say it's bad right from chapter one. This... as much as if makes me want to throw up from saying this" He gritted his teeth for this next part and reluctantly said, "...has the possibility to make Scar and Zira not look like bloodthirsty monsters. For now, I reserve judgment until the end."

Kiara was the next one to speak. "Well, even if this kid's story is happening too fast and I think things aren't described as well as they should... I definitely don't hate it yet. The shootout scene was pretty cool, and... these things humans have sound amazing. As lazy as some of those things are probably making them."

That last part she murmured to herself before returning to her normal tone. "I'll listen to what happens, I suppose."

Kovu was the last one to respond. "I don't know... all of that human stuff they mentioned, like... what were they called? Guns? Cars? I just can't firmly imagine those things existing with what they can do... it sounds too unreal. But besides that, it sounds alright. I mean at least here they're not some egotist trying to sound like they're some great author who knows everything about stories like this."

Simba and Kiara nodded in agreement with that. Nala cleared her throat. "Well go ahead Pumbaa, tell us what happens next!"

Once Pumbaa clicked to go to the next page, Simba muttered to Nala timidly, "You're sure Scar didn't really get to you?"

Nala sighed as she whispered to him, "Simba, I've told you this so many times before- he only tried to seduce me, he didn't actually do it. That night in the jungle was my first time. Trust me."

Simba and Nala both blushed at each other. Kopa snickered. "Guess that's why they called your song Can You Feel The Love Tonight."

Author's Note: For those wondering, the opening writing that Pumbaa accidentally read was the opening couple of sentences from the first Twilight book. Yes, I actually had to open up that poor excuse for a "book" and read its agonizingly dumb opening text just for the sake of that joke. I sure hope it was worth it.

Anyway, I wish to give credit and sincere thanks to the author RichardTerminator for allowing me to use his story, called The King's Heir. The story itself is odd and does take some time to adjust to at first, but it's an overall entertaining affair that I can recommend to anyone who just wants a simple, fun story without a whole lot of complex thinking required. Feel free to read it if you'd like. Originally I wasn't going to fearure it here, but I did it as a favor for the author since he's a good friend of mine.

On another note, a reviewer by the name of Haradion suggested that I tell in advance what fanfics the characters will be reading next so that he and my other readers may get a head start on them. I have chosen to take his advice, since that sounds like a reasonable request. So starting with the following chapter, I will announce the next fanfic in my author's notes from here on out. Of course I don't want to get ahead of myself just yet, so I'll announce the next one at the author's note once The King's Heir is fully covered here to start things off more smoothly with that.
