But the dam is about to break, so I figured I'd let out this trickle to relieve the pressure of my "funny" being surpressed. Hope it's okay... For being an answer to everybody's question: "Why Doesn't Kiara Want to Be Queen?" It was another beautiful day in the Pride Lands. Simba was happy that he and his daughter had the chance to finally have some time alone for a special talk he has been meaning to tell her. "One day, Kiara... you will be Queen of Pride Rock!" "But DAD! I don't want to be queen!" "What??!!" "I want to be a lawyer! Like that Anny McBeal... only I'll have a family, and make more money, and--" "What! Have you been staying up past your bedtime? What's wrong with being Queen of Pride Rock?!" "Aw, dad! I don't wanna be someone who's just something because she was born! I wanna be something! Do something! I don't need you planning my whole life ahead of me!" "You will! You will, honey, you can do that as queen..." "Puh! Yeah right. You mean, I can be supportive, balance the checkbook, and do whatever my husband says." "Now hold on a minute!" "KOVU likes me becoming a lawyer." "Kovu? Who's that?" "He's my BOYFRIEND. I've been seeing him for two weeks now." "What? You're too young for a boyfriend! Sweety, you're trying to grow up too fast!" "So what if I'm a woman seeking success?" "You're a cub! You don't know anything about half the stuff you're talking about!" "C'mon, dad! you think I live in the dark ages, or something? I wanna see the ocean! I wanna exploit this life for all it's worth!" The word "Precocious" comes to mind, as Simba sighs at what this day has become. "They grow up too fast," he thought. Kiara must come to realize her role in the circle of life. But how to tell it to her nicely? Hmmm.... "ALL RIGHT... Seeing that talking won't convince you..." "OH NO! DAD! NOT THAT!" Kiara runs off screaming, with SImba happily chasing her, singing "We Are One". *End* Yep, another one of those father/daughter talks. Oh well, I just HAD to type something. I was beginning to feel guilty reading all this... um... mail, and not replying to much. ;) Until the next post, -Rindimo --  The Tiger is made to kill and hunt, The Lion too, but more towards fight.
