| And so he lay in the desert sun, unconcious, but not dead. Above, buzzards circled overhead, one swooping down, followed by the rest. All of a sudden, "YAAAAAAH!!!!! GO ON! GET OUTTA HERE!" The driving away of the buzzards from the still form of Drakken were caused by a lion with a black mane, a lioness who was enjoying this a lot, and a meerkat astride a warthog, saying "I love it! Bowling for buzzards!". To which the meerkat replied, "Get's 'em every time." Meanwhile, the lion had plodded over, took a look at Drakken and said,"Uh-oh. Hey Kiara. You better come look. I think it's still alive." Kiara disgustedly went "Ewwwww, Kovu", but went over anyway. "Alright, what do we have here?", she said sniffing him. "I don't recognize the smell" she thought to herself. "Maybe if I turned it over, I could recognize it better." She turned the still form over, and saw that it was . . . "GEEZ, It's a human!" Timon yelled jumping up on the warthog with fear. "Run, Pumbaa! Move it!", he said, urging his ride to get him out of here. "Timon, please!", said Kovu in a disciplining voice. "It's just one human. Look at the little guy, so cute and all alone. Can we keep it?" he asked in the same kind of voice that you'd hear from a child. "Kovu, I wouldn't say it's cute, but it probably needs help. We should help it.", said Kiara approvingly. "Kiara, are you nuts?" Timon yelled. "We're talking about a human, here. They are smarter than us. THEY'VE GOT THUMBS FOR PETE'S SAKE!" "But he's so little!", said Pumbaa. "He's gonna get tougher.", argued Timon back. "Maybe he'll be on our side.", argued Pumbaa. "A--huh! That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.", laughed Timon, thinking it was as likely to happen as Ron Stoppable getting a date. "Maybe he'll be-" He stopped suddenly, like he had an idea. "Hey, I got it! What if he's on our side? You know, having a human around might not be such a bad idea." Kovu asked excitedly, "So we're keeping him?" "Of course, Kovu.", Kiara replied, picking up Drakken. "Yeah, who's the brains of this outfit.", Timon asked Pumbaa. "Uhhhh . . .", Pumbaa answered, dumb as a rock. "My point exactly", said Timon. "Gee, I'm fried. Let's find some shade." |
