"Scar… I mean, dad!  Wha… I'm not dreaming, am I?"

            Scar laughed wildly.  "I'm just trying to guide you, to talk to you…"

            Kovu didn't understand.  "I… Now's not a good time…"

            "I understand.  You want to spend time with your new cub.  Just don't grow too attached…"

            Kovu shook his head.  "What could you possibly mean by that?"

            Scar was gone.

            Kovu started crying again, but not out of happiness.  He just couldn't grab control of the difference between his dreams and reality.

            He slowly walked over to Kiara, expecting for the dream to suddenly end.

            It never did, though.

            Kovu collapsed next to Kiara, then slowly licked the baby.  Kiara nuzzled Kovu, then started to transport the baby to Kovu's arms.

            "You just… Lay down, Kiara.  You can't be very active right now…"

            "Kovu, you may be king, but like it or not, I haven't gone hunting in months!  You stay here with the baby.  Besides, I fell sexier now that I just lost almost ten pounds in a matter of minutes…"

            Kovu looked down, surprised to see the baby in his arms, Kiara already half way out of the den.  A couple lionesses were gathered around Kovu, looking at baby Kanen, seeming to expect something incredible to happen, like for the baby to do a back flip.

            Kovu noticed Vitani was the one closest to him, staring rather at Kovu than the baby.  "Congratulations."  Her tone was a little flat rather than the combination of scratchiness and lowness she usually had. 

            "You really think so?"

            "What, he doesn't have nine fingers on one paw and two and a half on the other!  Of course congratulations!"

            Kovu smirked, then was suddenly still.

            "Kovu… What?  What's wrong?"

            Kovu widened his eyes.  "How in Mufasa's name are we supposed to feed this thing?"

            Vitani smirked, then giggled.  "That's Kiara's problem, brother."

 

 

           

            Kiara returned a little while later, returning with food for both her and Kovu.  The two ate slowly as half of the lionesses sat, staring at baby Kanen (Kovu just wanted to leap up and say that the thing wasn't going to turn water to wine anytime soon…), and the other half hunted for themselves. 

            Finally, after the two ate, Kovu said something to the remaining lionesses still cuddled around Kanen.

            "You know, girls, it isn't gonna walk on water anytime soon… That is, if staring at it all day doesn't give him majestic powers.

            Nala, seemingly the eldest lioness there, responded.  "You wouldn't understand… And for all you know, he already walked on air…"

            Kovu sighed, seeing as Nala obviously didn't know what basis Kovu was talking upon by saying "walking on water".

            There were no problems, no one coming up to Kovu and Kiara that day.  The drought had obviously started, and almost everyone commented once or twice that day on the extreme heat.  Now it was night as Kovu walked over to Kiara, who now had Kanen in her arms.

            "You feed that think today, Kiara?"

            Kiara looked up at Kovu, who was hovered over her, about to back off and lay down.  "Uh… unfortunately, yes.  I do"FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman"> 

 

           

            Kiara returned a little while later, returning with food for both her and Kovu.  The two ate slowly as half of the lionesses sat, staring at baby Kanen (Kovu just wanted to leap up and say that the thing wasn't going to turn water to wine anytime soon…), and the other half hunted for themselves. 

            Finally, after the two ate, Kovu said something to the remaining lionesses still cuddled around Kanen.

n't wanna talk about it…"

            "Just a little milk…  I mean, c'mon, it wasn't that bad!"

            Kiara giggled.  "But it wasn't necessarily the milk that you put in your Lucky Charms."

            Kovu looked at her expectantly.  "You know, the little leprechaun guy that their always filming?  And those d*mn kids always trying to get their hands on it?  You know, along with the rabbit dude with the Trix, and…  You don't know, do you?"

            "What?"  Kovu was more confused than he had ever been in his entire life.  He laid down, expecting to hear more.

            "Never mind."

 

 

            Kovu shook his head wildly as he saw one of the weirdest things in his life. He knew he was dreaming, but expected Mohatu, Mufasa, Scar, Simba… But not this!

            There was a leprechaun with a bowl of cereal…  He was yelling, too.  There were a gang of about five kids behind him.  Then he saw an old man on the dirt road just ahead that leprechaun.  He heard the old man speak as the leprechaun approached him.

            "Lucky!"

            "Again?"  The leprechaun questioned, as the whole screen showed a Lucky Charms logo across it. 

            Kovu squinted, so confused that he smacked himself to try and snap out of it.

            Then, coming out of the screen, came the old man.

            "Kovu!  I have the power to control time!  Let me let you in on the future!"

            Kovu now understood, and thought it was extremely funny.  As he laughed hysterically, he finally got what Kiara meant by Lucky Charms. 

            Now his surroundings were back at the Pride Lands, and Simba was standing in front of Kovu.  Kovu couldn't help but cry because he laughed so hard.  He snorted in an attempt to regain his control, but after about five seconds, when Simba was finally opening his mouth to speak, Kovu laughed once more.

            "I do believe that is enough!"

            Kovu went big-eyed.  "Sorry…"  He bit his lip to stop laughing.

            "Sorry about that scene, too.  Anyway, I MUST congratulate you on your son, Kanen.  It truly does my heart good to know that he will one day, as his father, rule a Utopia like the Pride Lands.

            "Anyway, Kovu, I have some grave news.  My great-grandfather, Mohatu, appeared to you?  The first king ever crowned in the new anarchy?"

            "Yes… but was there an old anarchy?"

            "No."

            "Oh, so it's just like New Jersey… Wait, was there an Old Jersey?"

            "No, Kovu."

            "Old York?"

            "No."

            "Old England…"

            "Would you just shut up!  I have some
