It was the next morning and Taka wanted to spend the day with Zira.
"Hey Taka. Mum, Dad, I'm going out with Taka."
"Hello Taka. How are you dear?" Asked Jamani.
"I'm fine. Can Zira come out with me?"
"Sure. Remember to be careful Zira."
"I will Mum. Bye."
The cubs ran through the savannah until the reached the hideout.
"How's the new family Zira?"
"Amazing. Having a younger sibling to teach and play with feels like heaven. My Mum and Dad are nice. My Dad's really funny. My Mum is kind. They both care for me."
"Jamani's very kind. She use to look after me and my brother when we were cubs, because she's my Mums best friend. Zuberi makes me laugh when I'm sad. They're perfect parents for you."
"I think I'm gonna really like it here."
"You'll get use to it."
"It's spectacular to have a friend as well."
"You're my only friend Zira. Nobody wants to be friends with me because I'm not my brother or my Dad. Big, brave, strong, attractive. They're all that. My Dad spreader some negative stuff about me. That's why I don't have any friends. Except for you."
"Well, I think your wonderful Taka."
"I think your wonderful too."
"Let's play a game. I'm quite bored."
"Ok. Let's play fight."
"Ok."
Zira and Taka loved play fighting. Taka won a few times and so did Zira. Mufasa appeared through the vines with his 3 friends at his side.
"Playing with your girlfriend Taka."
"Mufasa, how did you get here?"
"We followed you."
"We'll get out. This is just mine and Zira's place."
"What are you going to do if we don't?"
"I'm gonna tell Dad."
"He wouldn't believe you anyway. He hates you."
"You're lying Mufasa. He does love Taka. Maybe he just doesn't like to show it." Zira stepped in.
"Taka. Nobody likes you."
"Shut up!"
Taka lunged for Mufasa but Mufasa slapped him in the face which made Taka fall to the floor.
"Taka!" Zira cried.
"Zira?" Taka weakly said.
"Look at what you have done to him Mufasa! You big jerk!"
"Let's scatter." Everyone who was with Mufasa ran for they're lives. Except for Sarafina."
"Zira, is it?" Sarafina smiled.
"What are you doing here? Run! Scatter!" Zira was crying now.
"I want to help him. He's secretly one of my friends. I'm going back to Priderock to get his parents. Stay here. Try to find some help."
Sarafina ran as fast as she could to Priderock. Zira screamed for help at the top of her lungs for help. Finally, a nice lion came to her.
"Are you alright kid?" The mysterious lion asked.
"No. My best friend is injured."
"Where is she?"
"He's a he and he's in there."
"I'll carry him home. You come with me."
"I don't know you."
"My names Kibwe."
"I'm Zira. Let's go already."
Kibwe carried Taka halfway to Priderock, the King and Queen were up ahead.
"Taka!" Ahadi cried.
"Is this your cub?" Kibwe asked.
"Yes. That's my youngest son." Uru replied.
Kibwe handed Taka over to Ahadi. Ahadi thanked him and invited him over to Priderock.
Back at Priderock, Hikmat and his son, Rafiki, were fixing Taka's cut that appeared on his face. Hours later, he woke up. Uru and Ahadi were talking outside the den.
"This is all my fault Uru. I shouldn't have been so aggressive towards him. I should never have treated him differently."
"None of this is your fault. Mufasa is the one who attacked him. Sarafina and Zira told me everything."
"Mum, Dad. Am I home?"
"Taka! My boy. My little boy." Ahadi rushed into the den were he was laying.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah I think so."
"I am so sorry the way I've been treating you these years. I should've treated you the way I do to Mufasa."
"I forgive you Dad."
"I love you Taka. I'm promise I'm going to change."
"I love you too Dad."
"Taka. The scar. Oh no. You have a scar." Uru ran next to Ahadi.
"I have a scar?! Cool. For now on I will be known as Scar. Not Taka."
"Whatever you want Scar." Uru smiled.
"It makes you look like a ferocious lion." Ahadi laughed.
"Zira will like it to."
The three of them hugged. Until Mufasa interrupted.
"Why are you hugging him? I told you he did it to himself to get me in trouble."
"Mufasa outside. Now. Me and your Mum have to discuss something with you. There's another story that tells the real truth"
As Mufasa, Ahadi and Uru left, Kibwe, Zira and Sarafina came in.
"Taka, your awake." Zira screamed.
"Yep. Hey Zira, look at the neat scar that's in my face somewhere."
"Woah. An eye scar. Cool. Taka, this is Kibwe. He carried you to your parents."
"Really. Thank you Kibwe. My family gives you luck, honour and you have been blessed with the ancestors of the past."
"Thank you Prince Taka."
"Sarafina helped to. She went to fetch your parents."
"Thank you Sarafina. Your kindness will be remembered. You have been gifted with luck and honour. The ancestors have blessed you."
"Thanks."
"What about me Taka. I stayed by your side. I called for help."
"Zira, being my best friend, is the best thing that has ever happened to me. You have been blessed with bravery, kindness, luck, honour and strength."
"Your my best friend."
"And for now on, I will be known as Scar."
"Excuse me Kibwe, we have an honour for you." Ahadi made his way into the den and stood behind Scar.
"Thank you for saving me son. We are very grateful."
"You don't have to give me anything. I have be blessed and given luck and honour from Scar."
"That's my boy. We would like you too join our Pride."
"Me. Thank you your highness."
"No problem. Scar, you are not allowed to play with Zira tomorrow."
"What!" Scar and Zira shouted at then same time."
"I am going to teach you and Mufasa how to hunt. Zira will be hunting with her Mum anyway."
"Can Scar be back by the time we get back? I want the two of us to spend the night in our hideout."
"Of course he will. And you can spend the night together."
"Yes. Thanks Dad."
"Now come with me my son."
Ahadi and Scar left the den. Ahadi gathered Mufasa and took them to the waterhole.
