Simba took his first glance around the once vibrant land. After the rain the water was filling up crevasses in the ground. Today was Simba's first day as king, as he walked around examining the land with Timon and Pumbaa by his side, Zazu appeared. "Sire, I have located the Zebra and they have a list of complaints and don't plan to come back until these are dealt with. Simba's face became lost in the idea of him commanding the zebras or anyone else to do something. Timon butted in as if he saw the distress in Simba's face. "Want me to give a good slap or too, good ole Pumbaa could always...you know.." "No its fine you guys, I can handle this. Hey Zazu do you mind checking on Nala before I head out to deal with the herd?" "Certainly Sire" With that Zazu flies off towards Pride-rock. "So Simba, pal, did you want us to come with you? "Naa I think I'm fine doing this alone" Immediately Timon answered "Great cos I'm beat, come on Pumbaa lets go catch some shade!" The two wander off. Eventually Zazu arrives with Nala trailing behind him. "Sir there was no way I could have gotten her to stay, she claimed she had to come! "That’s fine Zazu, thank you" Simba replied. "Thought I may as well come along" Nala said as she head butted Simba. "Zazu you may head back now" Simba suggested. "Are you sure my majesty?" "Yes Zazu, go!" Simba demanded with a slight smirk. Nala and Simba set off walking outside pride lands to find all the other animals.

Eventually they reached a large waterhole surrounded by hundreds of animals. Simba moved his head around so he could see all the animals. 'So now what am I suppose to do?' he mumbled to himself. Obviously too loudly as Nala motioned her head towards a large obscure rock near the waterhole, Simba turned and grinned at Nala before he began walking towards the rock. As he made his way up it he could overhear the mumbling of all the animals ‘Is that Mufusa?’ ‘Who is that lion?’ Simba began talking with a shake in his voice. “Itttt iss a mee….” Simba paused and looked towards Nala who gave a reassuring nod that encouraged Simba to talk in a much more soothing tone. “It is me, Simba, I have returned to rightfully reclaim the Pride lands, Scar is no longer here and I’m now the new King of Pride Rock, the Pride Lands are not yet repaired but I can assure you it shall soon be a new lush home for all of you” Simba paused to hear their reaction to this. As he watched he noticed a Giraffe in the back bow it’s head, then another, then another, until all the animals in front of him were bowing their heads. Simba stood patiently unsure of what to do with the situation, does he leave?, does he continue talking? Instead of turning to Nala, Simba spook up. “I thank you all, but the reason I have come here today is to welcome you all back to the Pride Lands, you are all welcome to return when you want” Simba let out a domineering roar before turning and walking to Nala’s side. “Great job” Nala congratulated as she rubbed her head against his mane. The two began heading back towards Pride Rock. They began to notice that the herds were following them back; Simba let out a silent chuckle and continued walking. Once in sight of Pride Rock Zazu swooped down by Nala’s side. “I assume your persuading speech went well, Sire?” “I believe it did, Zazu. How is everyone at home? Simba asked with his head held high. “Well sire, to be completely honest, very quiet not much happened… a bit boring if I may say so myself. Eventually Simba reached the entrance of Pride Rock where he was greeted by his mother. The herds began drinking out of the waterholes filled with the water left from the rain over night. “Seems as though we are in for another storm tonight” Sarabi said with her soothing voice as she headed for the shelter of Pride Rock.

Simba followed his mother knowing that Nala hung right behind him. He entered the safety of the cave with all the other lionesses and let out a yawn. Nala huddled beside him, although it wasn't time for bed, the clouds were covering any sun making it seem as though the sun had set. Out of nowhere Zazu flew into the cave with a huge outburst "SIRE THERE ARE HYENAS IN THE PRIDE LANDS" Simba sprung up from his sleep and lept over all the lionesses and chased behind Zazu. "Well well well, what is it here the new king of Pride Rock" Shenzi announced. Simba let out a roar that made all three of the hyenas flinch. "Woah woah we were only here to to to to umm.....what were we here for again? Banzai stuttered. Instantly Shenzi replied "Oh yeah we were here to come see how things were going, right ed?" "FOOD FOOD FOOD!" Ed blurted out. Simba roared again before answering "Get out of Pride Lands you are not to hunt here NOR are you even welcome here!" "Now now Simba you don't got to be like that we were just leaving." Shenzi backed herself up. "Yeah see we're going' Banzai said as all three turned their backs and began walking away while laughing. Simba sighed and began walking back towards Pride Rock. At the entrance this time Nala greeted him without saying a word the two headed towards the cave and huddled next to each other. It was now dark and all the other lionesses had fallen asleep. Soon Simba dosed to sleep. His first day as king was a busy one but he was sure there was more to come of it.
