Janja can sleep through the Roar of the Elders.

He is one of the heaviest sleepers you know. With all his little schemes and planning at night. He will not wake up until the sun is completely up. But according to HIS plan that HE made last night, him and the guys were suppose to leave in a couple of minutes to go and attack a herd or something. Even when the sun is barely peeking from the horizon.

Well someone has to wake him up and no one wants to meet certain death. Last time when Mzingo tried to wake him up, Mzingo came back with a traumatized look on his face and featherless patches everywhere on his body. And that was probably a warning to the rest of you guys.

Of course you didn't think it was worth the risk. You go on solo hunts anyway while the guys go and try to hunt while creating chaos while their at it. Without you, they would have been eating each other already. So of course, you believed this was a little unnecessary.

But you always had faith in Janja with all of his attempts to get food from the Pridelands. Even when he sang a song about hunting at night, but then suddenly attacked during the day. Silly, dumb hyena, you thought while smiling.

"Hey! I got an idea!" Sita suggestion woke you from your thoughts.

"Lets draw sticks and who ever has the longest one does the honor of doing the stupid!" Sita the started to collect some sticks from the ground while the rest of you are just nervously sweating. He the came back with the sticks with a face that told you he was equally scared, but hide it way better than the rest of crew.

He then held the sticks towards you. You being the smart one, then slightly scooted away."Do we really have no other choice? I mean I can go on a hunt right now, then we can call it a-"

"This is Janja's plan, if we don't wake him, he'll get real mad!" Cheezi worriedly squeaked while him and Chungu huddled up in a scared little ball. Saba just rolled his tired eyes.

"Well he isn't going to be little miss sunshine when one of us wakes him up, now is heee?-"

"SHHHHH!!!!!" you all whispered quietly to him. He has a good point, but would it kill him just to realize how loud he can be while cranky?

Sita then walked towards the annoyed Saba, as he reached out to grab a stick that was pretty small. Lucky. He then continued the process until he came back to you.

You then reached out to grab one of the two finally sticks. You have no idea whether it was your anxiety, or the stick was that long. Seriously, it went for a hour! Or that's the scene that went on your head, but the naked truth was dancing right in front of you.

You had the longest stick. You had to commit a crime against sleep.

You slowly creeped into his den while a couple hyenas were behind the mouth of the den ready to back you up while the rest of the guys just ran for the hills before the Pridelands. Cowards. You were the one that had to wake Janja up.

"Good luck (y/n)!" Sita quietly shouted supporting you, until he thought you weren't looking and scampered off.

"I'm gonna need it," You mumbled to yourself sarcastically anxious.

As you ventured deeper, you spot Janja to the right side of the den by the wall. Who looked like he fell from a mountain or something that made him looked crippled. It was a mystery to you that he could ever roll in a position like that and be totally fine with it.

It was true sight to see a very loud person who was quiet and peaceful. And he looked pretty adorable, aside from the crippled look. Another thing to stop you from waking him up.
