Here is the next chapter of the story.

Chapter 2: Morning At The Pride Mansion

Somewhere out of the city, lies a mansion called The Pride Mansion. A thirty eight year old lion name Mufasa was getting ready for his usual day of work for he was the President of his own company called The Lion Technology Company.

He was in charge of all electronics that makes the city go with lights, entertainment and of course computers and other electronic devices with the help of his brother Scar who was the Vice President of the company along with other members of the company, including Bagheera, Shere Khan, Beast and Aslan.

As Mufasa finishes getting dressed and heads downstairs, He sees his son Simba in the chair eating his breakfast as the father went up to the little cub.

"Good morning son" Mufasa greeted.

"Morning dad" Simba happily replied.

The father kissed his son on the forehead as he looks at the time to see that it was eight thirty am and he was wondering where the nanny for Simba is.

Simba is an eight year old cub who is home schooled due to bullying day after day in his old school and Mufasa thought it would best for him to be home school where he could be happy and healthy.

His nanny, Peg, was the nanny Simba was stuck with at the moment, although Mufasa did not agree that she's the best nanny due to her drinking problem and attitude that he fears SImba would be brought up to.

Mufasa picks up his phone and dails Peg's number as he waits for her to answer.

"Hello Miss Peg...Yes this is me speaking...Look it's eight thirty am and you're half an hour late...No I can't stay here...I have a company and I need Simba to be accompanied...Look if you wanna keep your job then get over here now please...Thank you...Goodbye"

Mufasa hangs up the phone as he sighs in stress. Mufasa and Peg do not get along lately due to Peg being a spoiled woman who wants things her way.

"Daddy, Is Miss Peg gonna look after me today?" Simba asked.

Mufasa looks at his son and replied

"Yes son, She's coming to mind you while I'm at work" Mufasa replied.

"I don't like her...She's annoying and she smells so bad" Simba sadly replied.

"I know son but we'll get a new nanny soon, I promise" Mufasa chuckled as he hugs his son.

Just the butler and the maid appeared as the maid said

"Sir, It's nearly time to leave for work"

"Thank you Mrs Angel" said Mufasa

"Hey sir, Why can't Angel here mind the boy?" Scamps the butler, asked.

"Because you two have jobs and well...I need a nanny who can teach and be there for Simba for most of the day and...well...You two are always work around the house" Mufasa replied

"Plus I never have experience with children Scamps and I doubt I'll be a good teacher" Angel replied.

"I see" Scamps said

"But still, we will keep an eye on him" said Angel.

"Thank you guys" Mufasa thanked.

Soon the doorbell rang as the older lion heads for the front door and opens it to see Peg standing at the entrance.

"Well I'm here" Peg dryly greeted.

Peg is a Lhasa Apso canine as she was wearing a short pink shirt and short shorts. She was also wearing black mascara and black lipstick.

Mufasa then sees Peg smoking a cigarette as he sternly said

"You know you can't smoke inside the mansion"

"Fine" Peg scoffed as she puts the cigar out.

"I'm not approve of your habit of arriving late you know that" Mufasa replied.

"Well I like to sleep in mister" Peg dryly replied.

"Look you wanna be the nanny, Then act like one and this time, don't just leave my son wandering alone in the mansion please" Mufasa asked.

"Alright, I won't" Peg replied

"...Thank you Miss Peg" Mufasa softly replied.

"Yeah, yeah" Peg sighed.

As Peg enters the house, Angel walks up to her boss and asked

"Why on earth did you hire that poor mannered hound?"

"Don't blame me Angel, It was all Scar's idea" Mufasa sighed.

"I know even since...well...Sarabi...I'm sorry sir" Angel apologised.

Mufasa sighs sadly and replied "It's fine"

Mufasa then thought about his wife, Sarabi...

Sarabi was Mufasa's wife and Simba's mother, She was a very kind and gentle lioness as she took care of Simba and supported Mufasa all the way with his company, She was everything to Mufasa and Simba until when Simba was two years old and Sarabi was then diagnosed with breast cancer as she was getting sicker and weaker within the years until when Simba was seven years old, she lost her battle and died from the cancer.

Mufasa was heartbroken and crushed when he learned the tragic news, Simba was upset within the first fews months but thanks to Angel and her other nanny before Peg helped him move on.

Mufasa however was still a bit of a mess, He started drinking a bit and often sits in the longue room with the fireplace going and a bottle of whiskey. He blames himself for Sarabi's death as he wishes he could go back and help her with the cancer rather than working in his company. Many of his friends including Shere Khan tried to help him move on but he was still troubled by the death of his wife.

"Sire...Are you OK?" Angel asked.

Mufasa snapped out of his thought and looks at Angel and replied

"I...I'm fine Angel"

"It's Sarabi...Isn't it" Angel sadly asked.

"Yeah..." Mufasa softly replied.

"It wasn't your fault sir...Sarabi didn't die because of you" Angel soothed her boss.
Mufasa wanted to believe that but the guilt inside him was still strong as he then change the subject.

"I must go now" said Mufasa.

Soon he heads for her car and sees Simba running to him and giving the older lion a hug.

"Bye daddy, See you later"

Mufasa smiles and hugs his son as he replied

"Have fun today son and be a good boy for the others"

He lets go of his son as Angel holds the young cub up and watches Mufasa driving out of the mansion gates and into the city.

"I hope daddy has a good day" Simba said to the maid.

"He will darling" Angel happily replied as deep down as she was still worried about her boss and how he's coping with everything at the moment.


So it seems the The Pride Family has had some bad days in their lives. Sarabi, Mufasa's late wife, and Simba's late mother, passed away from breast cancer. Peg is the worst nanny to ever serve the Pride Family. Will the family get brake in the future? What happens next? Found out next time, on Nessa's Story rewrite.
