"That's amazing Scar!" Zira approved.
"Congratulations." Kibwe smiled.
"And my Queen will be...Zira."
"An honour your highness." Zira said playfully as she did a little bow.
"Come one Scar. Climb on my back. I'll carry you to the waterhole." Kibwe insisted
Scar climbed onto his back. Kibwe started carrying him to the waterhole. The girls followed him by his sides. His friends cheered so loud, the whole of Africa could here them.
"All hail Scar! The greatest king of all!" All three shouted.
"Stop! Zira, come on up here. You are after all my Queen."
Kibwe allowed Zira to climb onto his back. Sarafina started teasing them playfully.
"Zira and Scar are sitting in a tree. K - I - S - S - S - I - N - G."
"Come on Sarafina. Scar isn't even King yet."
Sarafina still carried on.
Kibwe joins in."First comes love. Second comes marriage. Third comes a cute cub and it starts again."
Sarafina and Kibwe laughed while Scar and Zira had a plan.
"When we get to the waterhole, I'm gonna teach them what my Dad taught me and make them look into the water. When they do, my elephant friend Anuli will push them in." Scar whispered.
"If you show me who Anuli is, I'll ask him to push them in while you teach them."
"Anuli's a girl. She'll be the big, muscular elephant."
"Cool."
"Scar, Zira. Here we are." Kibwe pronounced.
"Bongani! Let it go!"
A big elephant with tusks gathers the elephants to the waterhole. They suck water into the trunks and form a circle around just Zira and Scar. Scar suddenly spots Anuli.
"Hey Anuli." Scar said cowardly.
Anuli stomps and a fountain of water drenches the couple.
"Eewwww. Lovely surprise Sarafina but, water coming out of their trunks. Where the snot is!" Zira exclaimed.
Sarafina just shrugs and smiles kindly. Scar gathers them all together and starts teaching what Ahadi told him and Mufasa the other day. Zira sneaks away and tells Anuli the plan. She also sprinkles in a surprise. When she returns, Kibwe and Sarafina were starring hard at the water.
"Did you do it?" Scar asked in a whisper.
Zira nods"I told her to get the strongest or st least the next strongest to help her. I also sprinkled in a surprise." She whispers in reply.
"What is it?"
"You'll see. I told her me and you will give you the signal which is a nod at the same time."
"Ok."
"It isn't working Scar." Sarafina shouts still looking into the water.
"It will. Just keep starring. Clear your minds." Scar shouts back at her.
"Let's do it now." Zira whispers again.
They both get Anuli's attention and give the signal. She and another female named Chikondi sneak up behind Sarafina and Kibwe. Zira shouts NOW and the two lions land with a big splash in the waterhole. Zira and Scar almost get splashed by the water but they didn't.
"Now for the King of the Pride. You'll love this."
All of the elephants gather around the waterhole again. They fill up their trunks with water and drenched the wet lions in the pond. Zira and Scar cracked up laughing as the elephant herd left. They both walked over too the edge of the water and rolled around laughing their butts off.
"Seriously guys." Sarafina frowned.
"We only sand a song."
"Well...that's true but so did Sarafina. And she made the elephants drench us. The drenching was only for Sarafina. The pushing was for the both of you. I guess the drenching was two in one. Right Scar?"
"The drenching was Zira's idea." Scar said without thinking.
"Wha...Scar! The lake pushing was Scars idea. True tale." Zira exclaimed.
"If we're going in, you're coming with us." Kibwe smirked.
He swam to the edge were Zira and Scar where, leaving Sarafina in the deep pound. Kibwe put his paws around them and pulled them into the water.
"Kibwe!" Zira yelled.
"We're only teenagers." Scar screamed.
"You've gotta admit, this is the best day ever though." Kibwe admitted.
"I agree. The best celebration I've ever had. The best part is, my best friends are here."
"Aww thanks Scar. I love tonight."
"Wait. This isn't the waterhole." Scar announced
"What do you mean?" Zira's face was full of fear.
"This is Croc Creek."
Sarafina was screaming in terror. They turned around to see Sarafina being dragged underwater. Kibwe dived under for her. He bursted to the surface in front of Zira and Scar, trying to force a crocodiles jaws open. He finally does and Sarafina's body starts to sink. Zira and Scar speed swim underwater to her. They carry Sarafina to the dry land and place her body away from the pond. They saw Kibwe clamped in the crocodiles jaws.
"Stop! Mr Crocodile stop!" Zira yelled.
"Any last words lion." The crocodile asked Kibwe.
"You guys are the bestest friends a lion could have. Take care of each other." Those were Kibwe last words before he disappeared under the water and never coming back up. Zira buried her face into Scars mane and cried. Tears formed on Scars eyes but put on a brave face.
"Come on Zira. Let's go home. Help me carry Sarafina."
An hour later they were home. Sarafina's Mum Arjana was weeping beside her daughters body. Rafiki and Hikmat were mending the wounds on her body.
"She'll survive. Let's leave my father to do his work." Rafiki lead her out of the den. On the roof, Ahadi was talking to Scar.
"No King has ever let this happen!" Ahadi was over the edge of anger.
"It wasn't my fault. I didn't lead them there." Scar yelled back for the tenth time.
"I showed you the kingdom. I showed you which paths lead to which pond. The stone path was the one too Crocodile Creak. You took the stone path. You made that stupid mistake."
"Dad, everyone makes mistakes. Everyone makes a hundred mistakes." Scar exclaimed.
"The only mistake I ever made, is making your Mum give birth to you. The throne will now turn to Mufasa."
"I hate you!" Scar stormed of and into his room to cry.
