I was reading a few interviews on the internet and I just couldn't ignore that feeling inside me to write one myself. And who could be a better fur to interview than our wonderful widow, Zira! Here goes... (Cut to scene: Savannah, near Outlands. Miana is sitting on a rock with a microphone in her paw, and Zira is sitting on another rock on the other side of the "table." A cameraman tapes everything, and some other reporters(which happen to be hyenas) get ready to take various notes) Miana: (facing camera) All right, good morning everybody, and here with me today is the one lioness who is actually willing to get interviewed before the movie. Zira!! (applause) Okay, Zira, is there anything you'd like to say before the interview? Zira: (shaving claws with claw filer) Miana: Zira? Zira: (keeps shaving claws) Miana: ZIRA!! Zira: (looks up and notices she's on air) Oh, sorry. (puts away filer) Umm...what was the question again? Miana: (rolls eyes) Do you have anything to say before the interview? Zira: Oh yes. I would like to say just one tiny thing. SIMBA I AM GOING TO DESTR-- Miana: (interuppting) Oooooooookaaaaaaaaay...let's get on with it... Zira: All right. Proceed. Miana: (flips through cards) Okay. First question. How are you related to Scar? Are you even related to Scar? Zira: Yes, I am related. I am his wife. Or...WAS...(turns around to see Pride Rock in the distance) Miana: Are you suuuuure? Zira: Yes. Miana: (looks rather disbelieving) But rumors say that you are not his-- Zira: GRRRRRRRRRRR... Miana: (scoots back) All right, all right. You're his wife. Next question. Is Kovu your son? Zira: Yes, he is. Miana: Well, all right. Since he looks like Scar, what other relation? Zira: True. Miana: Okay, next question. What are Nuka and Vitani's roles? Zira: You'll have to see the movie for that. Miana: (looks confused) Umm...Zira...you're on TV, and in an interview. Zira: So? Miana: Sooo...answer the question! Zira: (turns to camera, gets up and walks over to it, and shakes it) You'll have to see the MOVIE for that answer! Imagine if a million people are watching this! Now they will know stuff that has to be a surprise! Just wait until October 27th! Miana: Zira, sit down... Zira: (sits down) All right, go on. Miana: This is an interview...surprises are supposed to be driven out. Zira: But the movie isn't even out! Miana: Well, the people can close their ears! Zira: (thinks) Hmm...maybe so. All right... Miana: Well? Zira: (creeps up to Miana and whispers in her ear) Nuka and Vitani are the two kids of a lioness named-- Miana: (suddenly swings her head back) Ow! I think I got a bug in my ear! Zira: A bug? Miana: Yeah, a bug. Oh, I think it's out. (picks ear with claw) All right...what were you saying? Zira: I dunno. Forgot. Miana: (sits still) Okay, next question. Did you love Scar? Zira: Of course I do! Miana: But he wrecked havok on the Pride Lands! Zira: So? Miana: Well, that's bad! Zira: Well one can do a minor mistake and one other can still love him. Miana: Minor? Zira: Uhh...but it got all GOOD again! Miana: Quite so...umm...next question. Which is better McDonald's or Burger King? Zira: (looks dumbfounded) Miana: Uhh..let me rephrase that. Which fast food place do you like the most? Zira: (still looks dumbfounded) Miana: (suddenly remembers) Oh yeah...you didn't travel all over the world...that's right. You should try a cheeseburger! Zira: What's a cheesuburger? Miana: (tries to explain) Well...it's a sandwich with two buns, lettuce, tomatoes, onions if ya'd like, meat, and ketchup. Zira: (looks extremely confused) Miana: Wait a minute...oh yeah. You didn't try any of that except for the meat, eh? Zira: No... Miana: Skip that...umm...why have you volunteered to be in Simba's Pride? Zira: I'm not. I'm in my own pride. Simba can have his pride for himself. Miana: I mean the movie. Zira: Simba's Pride is the title of the movie? Miana: Didn't you know that? Zira: No... Miana: (slaps forehead) Zira: Okay, now that it is, I have volunteered to be in (growls) SIMBA'S Pride because I had no choice. There was no double... Miana: Hmm? Zira: If there was, they'd have to get their face flattened, their ears chipped, and their chins stretched. Miana: All right. Next qu-- Zira: (interrupting) How many questions are there? Miana: Only two more. Zira: Good. Miana: Next question. What did you after Scar's death? Zira: No comment. Miana: Zira... Zira: Okay, okay. I cried for about five hours. (numerous gasps and shrieks are heard in the audience) Zira: Well it was sad! Miana: I see. Final question. Zira: (looks impatient) Miana: Finally, will you marry someone else? Zira: Why is this all about Scar and me? Miana: Because there is nothing else to talk about. Zira: All right...I might marry someone else...but I'm too old. Miana: How old? Zira: Please don't ask my age. Miana: (laughs a bit) Sorry. Zira: Are we done? Miana: Yes, we are done. (turns to camera) Isn't she great? (turns to Zira, but she is gone) Zira? Zira? ZIRA! Miana: Well, thank you ladies and gentleman, and please join me next time as I interview someone a bit less impatient. Than you once again, and good night! (applause and some music is heard as Miana gets up and waves to the crowd. She walks out of the scene. End scene.) Sooo...what did you guys think?
