Can’t Wait to be King (Sapphirejas’s Semi Canon)

Can’t Wait to be King is the second episode of The Lion King Epic Trilogy.
== Summary ==
On one sunrise, Prince Simba looks at the savannah from the edge of Pride Rock and wakes up King Mufasa. Queen Sarabi said that his son was wake. With a yawn and stretch, Mufasa got up and went outside the sleeping den with Sarabi and Simba. Sarabi nudged Simba forwards to go up Pride Rock with his father. 
At the top of Pride Rock, King Mufasa said to his son that everything the light touches is their kingdom. He also said that one day, Prince Simba will be king. Mufasa then took his son onto the savannah and teaches Simba about the Circle of Life.
Zazu flew in to see King Mufasa and starts to tell him about the morning report. Simba gets bored and started trying to pounce a butterfly, but it got away. Mufasa interrupts the morning report and teaches Simba how to pounce with Zazu being the target. Simba pounced on Zazu and he fell flat on the ground. He gets up and with an alarm he yells that there are hyenas in the Pridelands. Mufasa went off to the edge of the Outlands and he asked Zazu to take Simba home.
At Pride Rock, Simba excitedly talks about becoming a king to Uncle Scar. Scar tells him about an elephant graveyard and he tricked the cub into getting excited by saying only the bravest lions go there. 
At the sunny rocks next to Pride Rock, where the lions bask themselves in the sun, Simba meets up with his best friend, Nala. She was currently taking a bath from her mother, Sarafina. Sarabi, who was next to Sarafina tried to bathe her son, but he managed to get out of it. He tells Nala about this “great place.” Nala asks Simba where they were going. He lied to her, Sarafina and his mother that he was going to the waterhole. Nala was unimpressed but Simba whispers to her that he will tell her later. Prince Simba and Nala asked Queen Sarabi if they could go to the ‘waterhole’ and she said yes but asked Zazu to go with them. 
On the way to the ‘waterhole’ Simba whispers to Nala that they are really going to the Elephant Graveyard. Nala was impressed! Simba told her to be quiet though. Zazu flies to the two cubs and tells them that they are betrothed and will get married one day. They were disgusted by that idea. Simba and Nala started running in and out of herds of animals to ditch Zazu. They even rode on two ostriches! They managed to ditch him, and before getting to the Elephant Graveyard, they both play fight.
