They Live In You
The Stage setting changes to a clearing with lionesses (Diana: Sarabi, Akko: Sarafina, Lotte, Sucy, Hannah, Barbara, Amanda, Constanze, Jasminka, Avery, Dorotea, Eleanor, Irene, Molly Mclntyre, Wangari, Abigail, Rita, Rachel, Carmen, Katya, Maria, Amelia, Elsa, Aira, Gaëlle, Isabelle, Aisha, Esther, Henrietta, Aileen, Bianca, Hilda, Michelle, Rina, Teodora, Chloé, Elfriede, Sarah Bernhardt, Catharina, Katie, Shao-Yi, Daisy, Rosie, Heather, Ranjani, Rashmi, Sóla, Bice, Bridget, Erika, Alice, Ezra, Priscilla, Alma, Julietta, Teresa, Nina, Francine, Verochka, Blair, Mary, Joanna, and Kimberly) relaxing on the savannah floor, trees, and rocks, and licking their fur as Craig as a young lion cub Simba, wearing a headband of lion cub ears runs from the left side of the stage.
Zoey: "Time passed as Simba grew up in his royal pride life with the lionesses, his mother, and his father."
Simba approaches Wildernessa playing the role of Nala as a young Lion cub wearing a lion cub ear headband being groomed by Sarafina.
Craig: "Hi, Nala Wanna play?"
Akko: "Simba, she's getting her tongue bath."
Diana: "And it's time for yours."
Sarabi picks up and starts grooming Simba.
Craig: "Mom! You're messing up my mane!"
Diana: "Behind the ears."
Craig: "Yes, Mom."
Trudy: "Simba grew up in a simple Great life within the Pride, But he still needs to learn the responsibilities of being king. Simba had great friends the advisor Zazu."
Then Zazu comes from the right side as he stands before the Queen.
Squidward: "Good Morning, You're Majesty!"
Diana: "Good Morning, Zazu, Do you have the Morning Report?"
Squidward: "Yes, my Queen (Clears his throat) Ten flamingos have been taking a stand, Two giraffes have been caught necking like they're above it all. The buzz from the bees... is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot. The birds are tweeting at 4:00 in the morning. I'm like, "Birds, we get it." The tick birds are picking on the elephants, I told them to forget it, But they keep remembering them."
Sarabi notices her son pouncing chasing an Orange-tip Butterfly Carlitos.
Diana: "Son, what are you doing?"
Craig: "Pouncing, I'm practicing it?"
Diana: "Let me show you how it's done. first Stay low to the ground. Check the wind, and the shadows... and wait for the perfect moment to pounce."
Simba listened to his
Squidward: "The cheetahs stole the baboons' dinner, and now the baboons are going ape. Of course, as I say, cheetahs never prosper. That's what I say. Do you get it... I'll say it again. Cheetahs never... What are you doing serene highness?"
Diana: "A pouncing lesson."
Squidward: "Oh right, pouncing. POUNCING?! Oh no my Queen, you can't be serious!"
Diana: "Just Turn around Zazu!"
Squidward: "This is so humiliating, I didn't sign up for this!"
Diana: "No, But it is your job, (To Craig) Now steady and."
Squidward: "What are you telling him Sarabi?"
Then the hornbill notices them gone.
Squidward: "Sarabi? Sarafina? Nala? Simba? Oh dear."
Then Simba pounces on him causing the hornbill to yelp causing the lionesses to laugh.
Squidward: "Ouch!"
LaCienga: "Yes, it was fun in games for Simba, but he isn't the only cub. There was also Nala, Simba's childhood friend and to whom he is betrothed."
After Simba gets off of Zazu who cleans himself up, little does he know that Nala is sneaking up behind him before she pounces on him and pins him to the ground.
Wildernessa: "Pinned ya!"
Craig: "Hey, Let me up, I wasn't ready!"
As Nala gets off of Simba ready to pounce again.
Wildernessa: "Some king you are, you don't know a thing about animals or pouncing!"
Craig: "Not yet, But I will be soon just like my dad, Just wait, Nala!"
Wildernessa: "In your dreams!"
They started wrestling with Nala pinning him down again.
Wildernessa: "Pinned ya again!"
Craig: "No fair, now you're gonna get it!"
They continued wrestling until Mufasa appeared from the right side of the Stage to get Simba for his lesson.
Thomas: "Simba!"
The cubs both stopped wrestling as Simba got up.
Craig: "Oh, hi Dad! I gotta go Nala"
Simba then joined his father as the Lionesses and Nala left to the left side of the stage.
Trudy: "You see Simba was next in line to the throne and Mufasa had to teach him the importance of being king. One evening father and son climbed up and stood on top of Pride Rock."
Then the Pride Rock Stage prop rolled from the right side of the stage as it circles in the middle before stopping at the right angle with Mufasa and Simba climbing up the very top ledge as the background setting becomes an African Savannah of Grass and Trees.
Craig: "I'm not sure we should be up here?"
Thomas: "Simba sit by me."
Simba sits down as he listens to his Father speaking.
Thomas: "Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our kingdom."
Craig: "Whoa, You rule all that?"
Thomas: "Yes, But a king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here and will rise with you as the new king."
Craig: "Really? and this will all be mine and belong to me?"
Thomas: "It belongs to no one, But it will be yours to protect a great responsibility."
Craig: "Everything the light touches, I gotta create a map for this, The trees, The plains, The waterhole, The river, and The mountain."
Thomas: "Easy Simba, there's more to being king than getting your way all the time. While others search for what they can take. A true king searches for what he can give, What makes a great king? Are the people who support and surround you? Your family, Friends, Allies, and subjects by doing good for others."

Thomas: "Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance as king, you must understand that balance and respect all the creatures from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope."
Craig: "But dad?, Don't we eat the antelope?"
Thomas: "Yes, but let me explain When we die, our bodies become the grass and the antelope eat the grass and so everything is connected in the great Circle of Life."
Craig: "There's so much, I never knew, I guess I should've paid attention more."
The sky darkens and stars appear in the sky as the day turns into night.
Craig: "Dad? We're pals, right? And We'll always be together, right?"
