the other lionesses and Rafiki wouldn’t let him try to wake them up again. Finally, around noon, Mufasa saw movement in one of the lionesses. Ignoring all protests from the others, he ran forward and pounced on the top of the massive pile of bodies.

Half squishing Zazu, the bird wriggled out and tried to flap away but was so disoriented that he immediately crashed into the wall and was left in a daze. Sarabi and Scar who were sleeping on the top were also rudely awakened. Sarabi, being more of a pacifist, just rolled off and tried to get fully awake. Scar, with his new personality, yelled at Mufasa for waking him up and that he wanted to sleep.

Mufasa, alarmed by this affront, took a step backward. He miscalculated and took too big of a step and slipped off the edge. He landed right on Ahadi’s head and this combined with the verbal attack from Scar, w

 

Questions: Chapter 13

 

The group got back about an hour after sunset. Filled with memories from the trip, all of them collapsed in a massive heap and just went to sleep. All of the other lionesses and Rafiki in priderock looked at them and decided to let them sleep. Mufasa had been sleeping for a few hours now so they didn’t wake him up, instead leaving him with a wonderful surprise in the morning.

All of them noticed that there didn’t seem to be a Sarafina and that ‘Scar’ had a massive scar on his left eye. Unfortunately, they didn’t know about the name change yet. They would discover that in the morning. But for now, they just quietly exited the immediate vicinity.

 

In the morning, Mufasa was up long before anyone else and waited impatiently for a little bit before trying to wake them up. He started on Ahadi. It didn’t go as well as it normally went for him. After several minutes of trying, he gave up and went on to some of the lionesses one after another. Not a single one stirred.

The only one that he managed to wake up was Sarabi, who rather unwillingly tried to open her eyes. Unfortunately, she just went back to sleep in a couple minutes so Mufasa would have to wait.

Reluctant to give up though, he went instead to the other lionesses that had been at priderock through the whole two week scene. They woke up fairly easily as it was already past sunrise. Mufasa asked questions about what had happened a couple nights ago when he heard the roars but apparently Ahadi hadn’t had a chance to explain to these other lionesses what it was.

The only information that Mufasa had managed to squeeze out was that they had arrived about an hour after he had gone to sleep. How could they stand waiting to figure out from Ahadi what had happened? He just couldn’t wait. Maybe they would wake up within the next half hour.

He kept waiting and waiting though. They just wouldn’t wake up and the other lionesses and Rafiki wouldn’t let him try to wake them up again. Finally, around noon, Mufasa saw movement in one of the lionesses. Ignoring all protests from the others, he ran forward and pounced on the top of the massive pile of bodies.

Half squishing Zazu, the bird wriggled out and tried to flap away but was so disoriented that he immediately crashed into the wall and was left in a daze. Sarabi and Scar who were sleeping on the top were also rudely awakened. Sarabi, being more of a pacifist, just rolled off and tried to get fully awake. Scar, with his new personality, yelled at Mufasa for waking him up and that he wanted to sleep.

oke the rest of the lionesses and Ahadi up.

Rafiki, horrified by the act that Scar had committed against his brother, let Scar know that that wasn’t what he should have done. “Taka!” he scolded, “That was not what you normally do. Why aren’t you glad that you were woken up?”

Taka, rubbing the sleep from his eyes which ended up being rather painfully with his scar, refused to reply.

Rafiki, undeterred, persisted. “I’m talking to you Taka! Tell me why you didn’t want to be woken up.”

This time, he at least looked toward Rafiki and motioned that he didn’t know who Rafiki was talking to.

Getting fed up with this new attitude, Rafiki yelled and pointed straight at him. “That’s YOU!”

Scar, still staying cool replied, “Well why didn’t you say so?”

“I called your name several times.” said the monkey.

“No you didn’t.” said an annoyed Scar. “My name isn’t Taka. It’s Scar. See the huge scar here on my eye?” Shaking his head as if this were common knowledge throughout the world, he lay back down and looked over at Sarabi who was just actually waking up.

Ahadi had managed to crawl out of the pile of lionesses while they were still trying to shift themselves. Immediately met with a barrage of questions about what happened during his long excursion. He just feigned being incredibly tired and said, “Only a few questions please, I really don’t feel like answering many right now.”

After much arguing, there were three questions. “What’s wrong with Taka over there?

“How come Mufasa was asking about all this roaring that happened a couple nights ago?

“And where is Sarafina?”

Ahadi kept out of answering as best he could. “For question number one, I have no idea. Mufasa would probably be the only one who might be able to answer that question. Number two, that night there was a very short fight within our group that will leave scar’s lasting forever, and number three, Sarafina decided to leave us for the jungle.” Ahadi refused to answer anything else after that.

The pride descended upon the other lionesses and Sarabi. “What happened?” They were all yelling.

Sakanya and Kuta replied that they didn’t know anything that Ahadi didn’t know, but Sarabi was more than happy to go into much greater detail in the fight and where Sarafina was at the time.

What she did reveal though, was where Kucha had left to. “Oh and Ahadi, Kucha left for the jungle. He’s going to help Sarafina over the next couple years.” Then she too turned and left. However, on her way out, she mentioned to Mufasa that they should probably both get out of here before the rest of the pride decided to question him.

Wisely, Mufasa took her advice and together they left a short distance a short way away from priderock for the rest of the day where they would discuss what had happened in the time that they had been separate that wasn’t what he should have done. “Taka!” he scolded, “That was not what you normally do. Why aren’t you glad that you were woken up?”

Taka, rubbing the sleep from his eyes which ended up being rather painfully with his scar, refused to reply.

Rafiki, undeterred, persisted. “I’m talking to you Taka! Tell me why you didn’t want to be woken up.”

This time, he at least looked toward Rafiki and motioned that he didn’t know who Rafiki was talking to.

The Final Straw: Chapter 14

 

After the initial buzz about everyone being back home save for Sarafina, the questions were fewer and fewer, much to the relief to everyone involved. The full story slowly seeped out and within only a couple weeks, the whole pride knew it.

By then, it seemed as if everything was back to normal. Unfortunately that was only because they had gotten used to calling Taka Scar and they had seen his new personality plenty. They could already barely remember the old Taka.

Meanwhile, Sarabi and Mufasa were spending much more time together, leaving no one for Scar to play with. He started sinking deeper and deeper into his depression.

Rafiki, now that Ahadi was back, took to staying in his tree most of the time as well. He once again, resumed his secluded life talking with the spirits.

Ahadi was just glad that they were all back safe and sound once again. After all the action, he lay down and rarely moved unless it was an emergency or unless he was hungry.

Zazu, with no where else to
