Penda sings "The Faster I Go"

Written by: Caldafox
== Story ==
Badru and Penda were hanging out outside Pride Rock, while their parents talked. Tani watched nearby on a rock, half-heartedly.
"So, what do you like to do, Penda?" Badru asked his new friend.
"I LOVE to run," Penda said. "Especially racing."
With that, Penda jumped onto a nearby flat rock, and began....
Penda: You won't catch me waiting, 
Wondering where to go
*jumps off rock* When I can get most anywhere 
There's no point in going slow *points to self*
Tani: *tilts head*
Penda: *runs around the cubs*
*skids to stop* *points to self*
The faster I go,
The more that I see
It's part of the thrill
To be everywhere that I can be
There's so much out there
Waiting for me
Tani: *rolls eyes*
Penda: The faster I go
The more that I see
Badru: *widens eyes* *watches in delight*
Penda: *looks towards Pride Rock* *frowns*
So don't tell me stories
Of strolling all around
Badru: *notices caterpillar*
Penda: *smiles at him*
No need stopping every step
To see what's on the ground
Badru: *looks at her in fascination*
Penda: *runs in circle, kicking up dust*
The faster I go
The more that I see
It's part of the thrill
To be everywhere that I can be
Tani: *groans* Ugh.
Penda: There's so much out there
Waiting for me
The faster I go
The more that I see
Penda: *walks up to Badru*
Badru: *smiles*
Penda: *places him on her back*
Tani: *frowns in annoyance*
Penda: *places her on back also*
Penda: *begins running*
Cubs: *hold onto her scruff*
Penda: Everything's all that I see, yeah!
Everything, yes everything, is racing right past me...
Tani *jostled* I think I'm gonna be sick...
Penda: The faster I go 
The more that I see
It's part of the thrill
To be everywhere that I can be!
There's so much out there
Waiting for me
The faster I go, *slows down*
*places Badru and Tani back on the grass*
*smiles* The more that I see...
"So, how'd you like that?" Penda asked the lion cubs.
"That was awesome! That was the most fun I ever had!" Badru exclaimed.
"What about you, Tani?" he asked his friend.
Tani groaned. "Yeah, it was great."
"Thanks for the ride, Penda." Badru said.
"No problem!" Penda said. She raced back towards Pride Rock. "I'll see you two later!"
"Ok, bye!" Badru said, waving with delight.
Good riddance, Tani thought angrily.
