The African Animals

Once she got far away from the tea party, Kilala looked back and said, "Well, I've had enough nonsense! I'm going home! Straight home!"

As she began walking away, she said, "That parrot. Who cares where he's going anyway? Why, if it hadn't been for him, I..."

She stopped talking when she noticed a gray sign that had "Tanzania" written on it in black letters. "Tanzania. Hmm, curious. I don't remember this." she said, as she turned away from the sign, unaware of a peacock and a peahen, who were wearing glasses, staring at her.

"Now, let me see."

The peacock jumped on Kilala's face, and she gasped when she spotted Rafiki, who was holding a mirror in his hand. When she looked into it, Rafiki looked like he was wearing glasses because of the peacock.

She placed the peacock on the tree branch next to Rafiki as she said, "Uh, no, no, please. No more nonsense."

She walked past them, and came up to a log as she said, "Now, if I came this way. I should go back this way!"

She climbed over the log and accidently stepped on a caiman as it roared.

"Oh, I beg your pardon!" Kilala said, as the caiman and its five babies went over to a lake. The caiman jumped in the water and paddled away as the caiman growled.

It then jumped in the water, and followed its babies.

The ripples in the water woke up two elephants, were was holding a drum and a pair of cymbals, and they jumped on waterlilies as they played the drum and cymbals.

As Kilala stepped on the stepping stones, she said, "Goodness. When I get home, I shall write a book about this place. If I...If I ever do get home."

Then she looked over a log to see Mufasa, Sarabi, and the other lions taking a shower in a small waterfall.

"Oh, umm, excuse me!" she said, as she got Mufasa, Sarabi, and the lions' attention, "Um, could one of you tell me..."

She was interrupted when Mufasa, Sarabi, and the lions screeched as they ran away, climbed up a tree, sat on a tree branch above Kilala, and glared down at her. She chuckled nervously as she said, "Uh. Haha. Never mind."

As she wandered around through the forest, she said, "Oh dear. It's getting dreadfully dark. And nothing looks familiar."

She looked to her left to see a rhinoceros, who was digging through the dirt with its claws. "I shall certainly be glad to get out of..."

She tried to say something else, but she bumped into Timon, who was holding a bird cage with Ma and Uncle Max inside it. Timon opened the cage door, and Ma and Uncle Max ran out. Timon chased after them, and he it them in the cage as Ma and Uncle Max landed inside the bird cage.

Then Zazu, who was holding an accordion, woke up and called out to the other African animals. As he flew down at Kilala, she ducked, and then Zazu flew away, still playing the accordion.

"It would be so nice if something would make more sense for a change." Kilala said.

Moments later, she came across some zebras nailing gray signs to a tree with hammers, and some giraffes wrote words on each sign in black letters with pencils.

As they walked away, Kilala looked at the signs, and said, "Don't step on the lion cubs. The lion cubs?"

Suddenly, a dozen lion cubs popped out of the ground, circled around Kilala, and got together to form an arrow as they walked. Kilala looked ahead to see the lion cubs pointing at a path as she said, "Oh! A path!"

As she ran down the path, a vision of Kayley appeared in sepia. Kilala said, "Oh, thank goodness. Why, I just knew I'd find one sooner or later! Oh. If I hurry back, I might even be home in time for dinner with my parents Garrett and Kayley and my brothers Simba and Flower!" Then a vision of Tippe also appeared in sepia as she said, "Oh, won't Tippe be happy to see me! Oh, I just can't wait till I...Oh!"

She stopped when she saw Pumbaa sweeping the path away with a broom. He stopped, walked behind Kilala, and continued to sweep the path.
