Simba turned his head toward where he presumed the rock had been thrown at him. He failed to noticed Shenzi, Banzai and Ed behind the rock.

"Let's get out of here," Shenzi whispered.

"Good idea," Banzai agreed.

The three hyenas then promptly sped off - well, except for Ed, who Banzai had to drag along - not wanting to be seen by Simba or Nala.

Unfortunately, Simba was too late to spot them. Still curious, he decided to run over to the rock where the three hyenas were hiding behind. He peered over it. Nothing.

"Weird," he said, scratching his head.

"Well, what was it?" Nala asked.

"I don't know," answered Simba. He noticed a pile of small rocks a few feet away from him. He picked one up and showed it to Nala. "I think they were throwing rocks at us, though."

"They?" said Nala. "Who's 'they'?"

Simba shrugged. "How should I know? I have a feeling it's one of those cubs from yesterday, though."

"Why would they waste their time to come after us?" she asked.

"They're just jealous of me," he replied, smiling. "I don't blame them. When they see someone like me walking around they can't help but feel jealous."

"You can be so cocky," she told him, smiling.

Simba grinned. "I know." He looked around. "Come on, let's get out of here. Before they don't miss with the rocks."

The two of them then walked off in the opposite direction of the three hyenas, looking for something else to do.

"So, where are we going?" Banzai asked Shenzi, as they walked away from the scene of their latest pathetic failure.

"Home," she replied. "Let's just hide somewhere all day so Scar won't find us."

"Will that really work?" he asked.

"Well, this wouldn't have even happened in the first place if you didn't hit me over the head with a rock!" she answered angrily, glaring at him.

"Well, it's your fault for hitting me with a rock first!" he argued. "Isn't that right, Ed?"

Ed nodded furiously, his tongue hanging out. Stupid as ever.

"Oh, just shut up! You should feel lucky - Scar might have seen us."

At that point, Scar stepped in front of the three bickering hyenas, blocking their path and causing the three hyenas to trip over each other and land in a heap on the ground. He had a smile on his face. It wasn't a very friendly smile. It was more of a 'I know you've failed miserably' kind of smile.

"I might have seen what?" Scar asked the trio.

Shenzi smiled nervously at Scar. "Oh… Scar!" she exclaimed. "We were… uh… just on our way to see you."

"Oh, really?" said Scar. "Well, it was lucky I was on my way to see you then, wasn't it?"

Shenzi laughed nervously. "And… why would you want to see us?"

"I just wanted to ask you whether you destroyed those two cubs' friendship like I asked you to," he replied, glaring in their faces. He knew full well what their answer was going to be, as he had been watching them from the top of a cliff just above them. He just enjoyed toying with them. It was his idea of fun.

Banzai looked at Shenzi, frowning. "Uh…"

"Well?" said Scar, awaiting their inevitable reply.

"We…" Shenzi began nervously. "Kind of ran into a little… problem."

Scar chuckled sinisterly. "Problem, eh? What kind of problem?"

"Well—" Shenzi began, before Banzai cut her off.

"Look, we tried to hit one with a rock, so it would look like one hit the other, right? But then she hit me with a rock, and she gave me this bump that really hurt. So when she went to hit one of the cubs I hit her with a rock, and she ended up missing. We didn't want them to see us so we ran away," Banzai explained very quickly.

Scar chuckled again. "Oh, that's funny," he said, before bursting into laughter. "That's actually quite hilarious."

The hyenas then started laughing, thinking Scar thought the whole situation was kind of funny. Scar laughed along with them.

"Yeah. It was pretty funny," said Banzai through laughter.

"Yes, yes," Scar agreed, laughing along. "That's why I'm going to…"

Scar then grabbed Shenzi and Banzai by their throats, causing Ed to descend into maniacal laughter.

"Rip your throats out!" Scar roared, squeezing their throats, causing them to choke. "I ask you to do one thing! One simple thing! And you can't even do that!"

"We're… sorry…" Shenzi choked out.

"Yeah…" Banzai said, trying to nod with difficulty, due to Scar tightening his grip.

"What makes you think you deserve another chance from me?" Scar bellowed. "I should kill you right now! Slowly."

"Please, Scar…" Banzai pleaded while choking, his eyes half-closed. "Give us another… chance."

Scar glared at them for a few seconds, before throwing them both to the ground, covering his face with his paws. "Oh…Why do I even bother? The simplest tasks you find too hard. You're absolutely useless! However, since it's in my ever so generous nature, I will give you one more chance to end that friendship."

Shenzi breathed a deep sigh of relief. "Phew… Thank you, Scar. We promise we won't fail this time."

Scar smiled evilly and stared Shenzi in the eyes. "You'd better not. Otherwise your dinner tonight will be yourselves."

Shenzi and Banzai gulped nervously for what felt like the hundredth time. Ed just laughed, not really understanding the ramifications if they failed - and they probably would - again.

"Well… We'll get right on it," said Banzai, smiling.

"See to it that you do. And don't forget, I'm always watching," Scar told them.

The three hyenas then sprinted off back the way they came, praying that they wouldn't fail this time.

Scar sighed. "Hyenas," he mumbled, before walking in the opposite direction. They'd failed him before and would most likely fail him again. He'd had too many past experiences. Three hundred and seventy-five past experiences, to be precise.
