AN: here it is! My fave chapter so far. Lol. I decided to do the whole s end leading up to the song and a little after. please review.
The ten year old prince charged through the castle having the time of his life trying to evade his best friend. Prince Duncan of Araluen and his best friend Shannon, were inseparable. They played together every day.
Today was especially fun because it was the day they had to themselves. Duncan had even asked if they could go to the pond by themselves.
"The pond!? What's so exciting about the pond?" Asked Shannon confused that Duncan would ask to go to a place so boring.
"I'll tell you when we get there." Duncan responded giving her a look that said 'there's more than you expect'.
"Oh. Mom, can I go with Duncan?" Shannon asked her mother.
"Hmmmm... What do you think Marylin?" Shannon's mom asked the queen.
"Please!" The two kids begged.
"It's alright with me." The queen said simply. The two children cheered. "As long as long as Alfred goes with you." She said as they started to leave. They stopped short.
"No. Not Alfred." Duncan complained.
"Step lively there! The sooner we can get to the pond, the sooner we can leave." Alfred said. They were about halfway there.
"So where are we really going?" Shannon asked Duncan.
"A haunted graveyard." Duncan responded mysteriously.
"Wow!" Shannon exclaimed.
"Shhhh. Alfred." Duncan shushed indicating the butler ahead of them.
"Great. So how we gunna ditch the dodo?" Shannon whispered. Duncan told her of his plan.
"Oh just look at you two. Little seeds of romance blossoming in the sunlight. Your parents will be thrilled. What with your being betrothed and all." Alfred said turning back to look at them fondly.
"Be-what?" Duncan asked confused.
"Betrothed. Intended. Afianced." He said with pride.
"Meaningggg?" Shannon asked.
"One day you two are going to be married." Alfred said grinning like a schoolboy.
"Yuck!"
"Ew!" They both said at once.
"I can't marry her. She's my friend." Duncan rebutted.
"Yeah. It'd be too weird." Shannon backed him.
"Well sorry to bust your bubble, but you two turtle doves have no choice." Duncan made a face behind Alfred's back. "It's a tradition going back generations."
"Well when I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go." Duncan said egotistically.
"Not so long as I'm around." Alfred said back.
"Well, in that case you're fired." Duncan ordered.
"Haha. Nice try, but only the king can do that."
"Well, he's the future king." Shannon defended Duncan.
"Yeah. So you have to do whatever I tell you." Duncan said poking Alfred in the chest.
"Not yet I don't! And with an attitude like that, I believe you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed." Alfred rebutted.
"Hmph, not the way I see it." Duncan said, he then started carrying out his plan and sang,
"Im gunna be a mighty king,
So enemies beware!" Duncan started,
"Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair" Alfred said back
"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." Duncan bellowed.
"Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing." Alfred said deafened.
"Oh, I just can't wait to be king!" He sang and ran down the path.
"You've rather a long way to go,
young master, if you think..." Alfred said pointing his finger and following the two kids.
"No one saying do this." Duncan teased.
"Now when I said that, I-"
"No one saying be there." Shannon joined.
"What I meant was..."
"No one saying stop that." Duncan yelled
"Look, what you don't realize..."
"No one saying see here." The kids sang together.
"Now see here!" Alfred yelled as they ran off.
"Free to run around all day" Duncan sang excited.
"Well, that's definitely out..."
"Free to do it all my way!"
"I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart" Alfred scolded.
"Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start." Duncan sang as Alfred had an overlarge nose.
"If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Araluen,
I wouldn't hang about... aagh!
This child is getting wildly out of wing." Alfred complained.
"Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in spotlight!" Duncan posed while Shannon took fake portraits of him.
"Not yet!" Alfred shouted struggling to keep up.
"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" voices from the nearby farmhouse sang along. They decided to take the young prince's lead and detain the butler.
"Oh I just can't wait to be king!
Oh I just can't wait to be king!
Oh I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!" Duncan finished.
The two best friends scurried off noticing that Alfred wasn't following and went to the haunted graveyard.
The two wrestled on the way there. Shannon won both matches as she was built bigger than Duncan.
"Hey! Lemme up." Duncan pouted after being pinned. Then he leapt on her again and the two tumbled down the hill.
"Pinned ya 'gain." Shannon taunted. Just then an eerie sound came from the dark, misty graveyard to their right.
The two children jumped, then stood up entranced. Little did they know that they had put into motion the deeds that would change everything.
AN: how'd u like it? I you want me to do the rest of the scene with the hyenas and stuff just say so. I will add a song. Maybe not a Disney one but I will come up with something. Hehe. Please send me more ideas otherwise.
