Hakuna Matata

Announcement

Hey there. I'm Penda-Tabia, but my friends call me Penny. I live in Auradon, I go to Auradon Prep and my parents are Timon and Pumbaa. They've raised me the same way they raised Simba and that's with pure awesomeness. I don't call them my fathers, I call them Uncle Timon and Uncle and Pumbaa, like my brother, Bunga. He lives in Africa because he's a member of The Lion Guard.

I have so many talents it's unbelievable. I only have seven friends at school and three of them are my best friends. My super best friends are called Margaret and Ming. Prince Ben is my best friend and Jordan, Lonnie, Doug and Melody are my friends. When me, Margaret and Ming were just friends, I had a super best friend that I considered my sister. She was my roommate and we were inseparable. That was until...

Two moths ago,

"Why are you suddenly acting strange around me?" I ask Phoenix, daughter of Peter Pan.

"Because I have better friends who don't drink or smoke." Phoenix motions to Trinity Bell, daughter of Tinkerbell. "And don't want to be friends with someone who has gay parents and a possible gay brother who's a stupid honey badger."

"What did you call my family?" I grab her shirt and I pull her towards me. My eyes shine brown.

"Your family is gay. And so are you." Phoenix smirks. I open the window and I climb up the building with Phoenix. I hold her over the edge while I stand on the roof. "You're crazy!"

"No, I just have hakuna matata." I look down to see people staring up at us. "Can you fly?"

Phoenix nods. "I'm too scared to fly." She starts to cry.

"Just think of faith, trust and pixie dust and you'll be fine." And I let go of her. I see Trinity fly over her and sprinkles pixie dust on her and Phoenix starts to fly. I jump down into a perfect arrow dive. Trinity grabs me and lowers me down.

Yeah, that was only two months ago. Ben made me switched rooms so I got one with Ming and Margaret. My dads heard about this and they went crazy at me. That's when I started rebelling more by dying my hair, drinking and smoking more.

My phone beeps so I grab it to see a text from Ben.

Ben- Can you come to Beast's Castle? I'll be in the tailor room

Me- k

I climb down the roof with my stuff and I walk to the castle.

"Hey, dudes." I smile at the guards. "You boys look handsome today. UTANI!" I shout my catch phrase/word at them before they roll my eyes at me and let me in. I walk to the room Ben said he is in.

"Hey, Penny." Ben smiles at me as the tailor measures his arm.

"Hey, Ben. You look nice today." I walk up to him.

"Aw, thanks-" Ben blushes.

"UTANI!" I shout. Ben laughs.

"I should've saw that coming." Ben motions to a chair. "Take a seat."

"I'm fine standing." I take a puff of my cigarette. "Want a sip?" I offer him my bottle of vodka.

"I'm good." Ben nervously laughs. "You'd fit in perfectly on the Isle of the Lost."

"I want to fit in there." I look at the bottle of vodka. Belle and Beast walk into the room. "Hello, Mr and Mrs Beast." They look at my stuff so I throw away my cigarette, the vodka and I drop my weapons on the table.

"Hello, Penda, dear." Belle smiles at me.

"How is it possible that you're going to be crowned King next month? You're just a baby." Beast walks up to Ben.

"He's turning sixteen, dear." Belle grins from ear to ear.

"Hey, pops-" Ben starts. I walk up to him.

"You have something." I wipe chocolate from the corner of his mouth. Ben nods at me.

"Sixteen? That's far too young to be crowned king. I didn't make a good decision until I was a least forty two." Beast smiles.

"Uh, you decided to marry me at twenty eight." Belle reminds him.

"It was either you or a teapot." Beast winks at us. Me and Ben laugh. "Kidding." Beast tells Belle.

"Mom, Dad-" Ben tries to walk over to them.

"Ah! Nn-nnh!" The tailor man stops him.

"I've chosen my first official proclamation." Ben winks at me. Belle and Beast smile at each other. "I've decided that the children on the Isle of the Lost be given a chance to live here in Auradon." I smile widely and I look away from Ben. "Every time I look out to the island, I feel like they've been abandoned." Ben walks up to his parents.

"The children of our sworn enemies? Living among us?" Beast points to the Isle.

"We start out with a few at first, only the ones who need our help the most. I've already chosen them." Ben smiles.

"Have you?" Beast does not look happy.

"I gave you a second chance." Belle grabs his arm. "Who are their parents?" She asks Ben.

"Cruella de Vil...Jafar...Evil Queen...and Maleficent." Ben looks at me. I smile at him.

"Maleficent! She is the worst villain in the land!" Beast shouts. I say Scar is, but that's my opinion.

"Dad, just hear me out here." Ben seems nervous.

"I won't hear of it. They are guilty of unspeakable crimes." Beast keeps his voice raised.

"Dad, their children are innocent. Don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life?" Ben pauses. "Dad?"

Beast looks at Belle, then at me and then at Ben. "I suppose their children are innocent." Beast walks away.

"Well, well done." Belle straightens Ben's blazer before she walks up to Beast "Shall we?" Belle walks out with her arm in Beasts. I hug Ben with a squeal.

"Yes!" I scream. Ben hugs me back. "Thank you."

"Twenty five per cent of that was for you." Ben chuckles.

"I'll leave you to your day, Prince Ben." I playfully bow before grabbing by sword, dagger, my bow and my arrows. I walk back to the school and I climb to the roof again. I smile as I look at the Isle. I wonder what the kids are doing over there now. I take out my phone and I message Margaret and Ming in the group chat we're in.

Me- guess what

Margaret- what

Ming- what

Me- Ben's allowing four children from the Isle into Auradon

Ming- that's freaking awesome!

Margaret- cool
This isn't a utani is it?

Me- no it's true

I put my phone down and I stare at the Isle.
