Author's Notes: I own nothing but my OCs. This chapter is probably the same as the original with a few add-ins and mistakes corrected, but overall nothing new. Sorry for the long wait on the update. By the way, for musical bit in this chapter I suggest that you HAVE the music of the song playing along with it.
Chapter 2: I just can't wait to be King and the Birdie Boiler
Simba ran past lounging lionesses and walked up to Nala and her mother.
"Hey Nala." said Simba.
"Hey Simba." replied Nala.
"Come on, I know this really cool place."
"Simba, I'm kind of in the middle of a bath."
"And it's time for yours." said Sarabi from behind Simba who tried to get away without any luck.
"Mom! You're messing up my mane." complained Simba and she smirked a little as he jumped down and fixed his "mane", Okay, okay! I'm clean, can I go now?"
"What mane?" joked Fang as he walked onto the scene with a huge smirk on his face because he knew that was Simba's soft spot.
"It'll grow in! Just you wait, Fuzzy Chest!" snapped Simba.
"So what is this place? It better not be any place dumb." said Nala.
"Yeah, what is this cool place?" asked Sarabi causing Simba to sweat a little.
"Oh...around the water hole..." began Simba but was interrupted by Nala.
"The water hole?! What's so cool about the water hole?!"
Simba turns around and somewhat whispers through clenched teeth, "I'll show you when we get there!"
"Oh! Mom, can I go with Simba?" said Nala turning her head towards her mother.
"What do you think Sarabi?" asked Nala's mother to Sarabi.
"Well..." said Sarabi.
Nala, Simba, and Fang: "Please?"
"...it's alright with me..."
All three: "Yeah!"
"...as long as Zazu goes with you."
"No! Not Zazu!" said Fang.
Near the Water Hole
"Step lively now. The sooner we get to the Water Hole, the sooner we can leave." said Zazu loud enough for the trio to hear.
"So where are we really going?" asked Nala to Simba.
"An Elephant Graveyard." replied Simba unaware of Fang freezing in his tracks, his eyes wide.
"WOW!" yelled Nala nearly blowing their cover.
"SHH! Zazu."
"Right. So how do we ditch the dodo?"
The two whisper and Zazu flies down landing in front of them.
"Just look at you two. Little seeds of romance blossoming in the savannah. Your parents will be thrilled, what with you being betrothed and all." said Zazu.
"Be-what?" said Simba looking confused.
"Betrothed. Intended. Affianced."
"Meaning...?" said Nala sharing her friend's confusion.
"One day, you two are going to be married." said Zazu almost sounding like he was chuckling while he said this.
"Yuck."
"Ewww."
"I can't marry her. She's my friend." said Simba.
"Yeah. It'd be so weird." said Nala.
"Well, sorry to burst the old bubble, but you two turtledoves have no choice. It's a tradition going back generations."
"Well, when I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go." said Simba.
"Not so long as I'm around." said Zazu.
"Well, in that case, you're fired."
"Hmmm...Nice try, but only the king can do that."
"Well, he is the future king." said Nala butting in.
"Yeah. So you have to do what I tell you." said Simba poking Zazu in the chest.
"Not yet I don't. And with an attitude like that, you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed."
"Ha! Not the way I see it." said Simba pouncing towards Zazu and the scenery changes.
[I Just Can't Wait to be King Music]
Simba: ~I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!~
Zazu: ~I've never seen a king of beasts
with quite so little hair~
Simba: ~I'm gonna be the mane event
like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar~
*Zazu falls into a mud puddle, walks out and grabs a "towel"*
Zazu: ~Thus far a rather uninspiring thing~
*Elephant whacks Zazu across water*
Simba: ~Oh, I just can't wait to be king!~
"You have a long way to go young master if you think!"
Simba: ~No one saying do this~
Zazu: ~Now when I said that-~
Nala: ~No one saying be there~
Z: ~What I meant was-~
S: ~No one saying stop that~
Z: ~What you don't realize-~
S and N: ~No one saying see here~
Z: ~Now see here!~
S: ~Free to run around all day~
Z: ~Well, that's definitely out-~
S: ~Free to do it all my way!~
Z: ~I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a little heart-to-heart~
*Zazu flies into a rhino's butt*
N: ~King's don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start~
Z: ~If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about AAH!
This child is wildly getting out of wing~
S: ~Oh, I just can't wait to be king!~
S: ~Everybody look left~
Z: "AH!"
N: ~Everybody look right~
S: ~Everywhere you look I'm-
Standing in the spot light~
Z: "Not yet!"
N and S, Chorus: ~Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling~
S: ~Oh, I just can't wait to be king!~
N: ~Oh, I just can't wait to be king!~
S: ~Oh, I just can't...~
N: ~Just can't wait~
*Fireworks explode*
Certain Meerkat: "Knock it off!" *Smashes stick into elephant's leg*
S and N: ~To be king!~
[Music Ends]
Zazu from underneath a Rhino: "[Muffled] I beg your pardon madam but...GET! OFF! Simba? Nala? Fang?"
The two cubs laughed as they neared the Elephant Graveyard and slowed down to a walking pace.
"I can't believe that worked!" laughed Nala.
"I...am a genius." said Simba praising himself.
"Hey genius, I helped."
"Yeah, but I pulled it off."
"With me."
"Wanna bet?"
Simba pounces on Nala but gets pinned.
"Pinned ya." said Nala with a smirk.
"Hey let me up!" said Simba pushing her off and then tackling her again to get pinned again and then a geyser goes off and they look at the boneyard.
To each other: "Whoa!"
"See I told ya. Isn't awesome?" said Simba.
"We could get in big trouble." said Nala.
Fang suddenly dropped down in front of them, out of breath, his wings drooping a bit.
"Guys! We have to get out of here! NOW!" said Fang looking around nervously.
"Looks like little Fang-y's scared." teased Simba.
"It's Fang fuzz ball. And right now, we're all in very real danger!"
"There you three are! Come we must leave immediately! We're WAY beyond the boundaries of the Pridelands! And all in very real danger!" said Zazu.
"Looks like Banana Beak's scared too." taunted Simba.
"That's Mr. Banana Beak to you! And we ARE IN VERY REAL DANGER!"
"Danger? Ha! I laugh in the face of danger. HA HA HA HA HA HA!" said Simba walking in front of an Elephant Skull.
*Hyena Laughter*
Simba races back towards the group as three hyenas emerge from the skull and advance towards the four, Fang being in front.
"Well, well, well, Banzai, what have we here?" said the females hyena (Shenzi).
"Hmm, I don't know Shenzi uh, what do you think Ed?" said Banzai.
Ed's response is a gibberish laugh.
"Yeah, just what I was thinking, a quartet of trespassers!"
"And quite by accident let me assure you..." said Zazu trying to usher the kids away but Shenzi steps on his tail feathers.
"Whoa, whoa, wait wait. I know you, you're Mufasa's little stooge." said Shenzi.
"I madame, am the king's majordomo." said Zazu pulling his tail feather's out from under her foot.
"And that would make you...?" said Banzai as he and Ed circled them followed by Shenzi.
"The future king!" snapped Simba.
"Do you have any idea what we do to kings who step out of their kingdom?" said Shenzi.
"Puh, you can't do anything to me." said Simba rather cockily.
"Uh-uh, technically they can, we are on their land." said Zazu rather nervously.
"But Zazu, you told me they're nothing but a bunch of slippery, mangy stupid poachers."
"[Side mouthing and quietly] Ix-nay on the upid-stay..."
"Who you calling upid-stay?" said Banzai.
"My, my ,my! Look at the sun! It's time to go!" said Zazu as he, Simba, and Nala tried to get away while Fang stood frozen in place.
"Where do you think you're going? We'd love for you to stay for dinner." said Shenzi herding them back a few feet.
"Yeah! We could have whatever's lion around. [Air laughs]"
"Wait, wait! I got one. Make mine a cub sandwich, what you think?"
[Laughter]
Ed pops up in front of Shenzi looking and pointing franticly.
"What Ed?!"
"Hey, did we order this dinner to go?"
"No. Why?"
"CAUSE THERE IT GOES!"
Simba and Nala are running through the boneyard with Fang forgotten and Zazu gets grabbed. After a few feet of running they stop.
"Did we lose them?" asked Nala looking around.
"Yeah, I think so. Hey, where's Zazu and Fang?" replied Simba.
"AH!" screamed Zazu as he was forced towards a geyser by Banzai.
"The little majordomo bird, hippity-hop, all the way to the birdie boilder." said Banzai before he slammed Zazu into a geyser.
"Oh no, not the birdie boiler! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" screamed Zazu before he was blasted into the sky on fire with hyenas laughing at him.
"Hey! Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?" said Simba.
"Liiiiiiiiiiiiiike...YOU?" said Shenzi with a sinister grin.
"Oops." said Simba as his ears drooped.
The hyenas charge and try to bite them but they miss and the two cubs run away only to run into another geyser.
*GASP!*
"BOO! [Hysterical Laughter]"
*Jaws snap!*
The two run away and climb up a elephant skull and slide down the spine and off a bone ramp and start climbing up.
"Simba!" cried Nala causing Simba to turn around to see her falling down the bones and he charges and slashes one of the hyenas across the face causing the one to growl menacingly. The duo come to a dead end on a weak area of rotten flesh and the two try to jump up the cliff side only to fall through the flesh and into the ribcage trapped between a rock wall and three hungry hyenas.
"Here Kitty, kitty." growled one of the hyenas.
*Weak growls from Simba*
"That was it. HA! Come on, try again." said Shenzi with a smirk.
*LOUD ROAR!*
All three hyenas: "HUH?!"
The three are knocked off their feet as a massive paw hits them and the three get into a fight with Mufasa and Fang arrives along with Zazu to see the fight. After a rough interrogation by Mufasa the three run off with their tails between their legs and Fang launches a fireball at the retreating hyenas but misses. Simba runs up to his father.
"Dad, I-"
"Let's go home." barked Mufasa and all three followed him.
"I thought you were very brave." said Nala quietly to a distraught Simba, all unaware of Scar watching them.
