"Where are we going Rafiki?" King Simba asks.

"Fuji, what are we doing?" Oho asks.

"Shhh. Quiet." I say.

"We're following them??" Makini asks.

"Of course we are. They know where Kion is and we need to have his back." I say.

"Kion's back?" Benga asks.

"Of course, his back!" I yell.

I feel something wack my head.

"Ow!" I grunt.

"What do we have here?" Rafiki asks.

"Hi..." Makini lowers her head

"Lion Guard you've disobeyed the King." Rafiki jumps down.

"We had no choice. Kion is our friend." Fuji says.

"We just want to help." Benga points out.

"Help? Hahaha. I knew you'd guys would come." Rafiki laughs.

"You... did?" I ask.

"Of course. You are friends. Brothers and sisters. Kion is one of you. You would not leave him alone for very long. You are friends to the end." Rafiki says.

"Yeah. Yeah, we are." I say.

I bite into a piece of bread. The queen sat on her high throne. I sat next to Scar. I was memorized by Ahi's dancing. She's as slippery as a snake, but graceful as a crane. I was captivated. She blew like the wind.

"I take it you enjoyed the night." He says.

"Yeah." I turn to him. 

"Pleasure is with the blood you shall spill." He says.

"Okay, okay. Yeah. I shudder to think how I'm going to become... that." I say.
