Hey, guys.
          
          Just something that's been bothering me a little; is anyone bothered about the fact that I intend to write a few chapters towards the end of my humanised Lion Guard story focusing on a teenage pregnancy? I had planned it this way from the beginning but I am just slightly bothered by this.
          
          Other pregnancy ideas I have been contemplating over the course of the story, mostly told via flashbacks:
          
          Sarabi with Mufasa ~ Obviously with Simba as the result! Maybe Mufasa had something wrong with his body that meant he couldn't father any more children?
          Sarabi with Scar ~ Scar knows he needs Mufasa's widow on his side after killing Mufasa, both to give the appearance of a smooth transition to new leadership and to show who's now boss of the Abioye family. [I already have ideas for Sarabi's children with him]
          Zira with Scar ~ with Nuka as the result; Scar rejects Nuka as a political protégé and they try again, only to result in twin daughters
          Zira with OC ~ Zira's relationship with Scar deteriorates following the perceived failure of Nuka and she hopes a healthy child will get her back in his good graces
          Nala with Simba ~ resulting in Kopa, Kiara and Kion
          Nala with Scar? ~ This could explain why Nala left in order to join the Rebellion against Scar
          Nala with OC? ~ This one's been bothering me because I don't want it to seem as if Nala cheated on Simba, which is something she'd never do in my mind
          Vitani with Kion ~ I've already been discussing this one
          Rani with OC
          Kiara with Kovu ~ most likely as young adults
          Zuri with OC
          Tiifu with Baliyo
          Makini with OC
          OC with Zazu ~ I already have plans for Zazu's children and why said OC breaks up with Zazu
          
          Does anyone have any plot ideas they'd care to suggest for any of these, or any children that may result? I already have some ideas for the children of the members of the Lion Guard.

Hey, everyone.
          
          Here is the dialogue I have mentioned to you before with missing paragraphs. I invite you, dear readers, to fill in the gaps for me:
          
          *On their way to Class, a passing student deliberately nudges Vitani on the arm*
          
          Vitani: Hey! What was that for?
          
          Kion: Didn't they do that at your old School?
          
          Vitani: No, and what's so funny about it?
          
          Kion: It just means he likes you. He was just being friendly.
          
          Vitani: A funny way of showing it.
          
          Kion: It's kinda mild, compared to some of the goings on I've seen around here.
          
          Vitani: Such as?
          
          *Gap*
          
          *Vitani and Kion are walking to their next Class when they run into someone coming the other way*
          
          Ushari: Ooow! Kion, what was that for? You're nearly as bad as Bunga!
          
          Kion: Sorry, Ushari, but we're on our way to our last Class for the day, and we're kinda late.
          
          Ushari: We? *Notices Vitani* Who's the girl?
          
          Kion: Oh, Ushari, this is Vitani. Vitani, this is Ushari.
          
          Vitani: Hey. *Offers her hand*
          
          Ushari: *Pulls his hand away* Charmed. Now, if you don't mind, I need to get to Class.
          
          *Ushari hurries away*
          
          Vitani: He's not very friendly, is he?
          
          Kion: He mostly keeps to himself, but he seems to be our personal nemesis...well, Bunga's, anyway.
          
          Vitani: Why?
          
          *Gap*
          
          Kion: Vitani, were you scared of Ushari earlier?
          
          Vitani: Wait, what?
          
          Kion: Did Ushari scare you? I noticed you gasped when he asked who you were.
          
          Vitani: No! I can handle the odd jerk or two if I have to!
          
          Kion: Ushari's a pretty intimidating guy, and you've only just met him, so I wouldn't blame you...
          
          Vitani: *Angrily* Kion, nothing and nobody intimidates me! Got it?
          
          *Kion is both spooked and amused by her outburst*
          
          Kion: Got it. Yes, ma'am.
          
          Vitani: You'd better. Now, where's this Classroom?
          
          *Gap*
          
          I'm also going to point you in the direction of @TheLionQueen13, who has just started writing a humanised Lion Guard story of her own. I've read it and it's pretty good reading.
          
          Please let her know it was I who sent you her way.

Hey, guys.
          
          For my story "Rival's Love," is it likely that Rani and Baliyo would probably be foreign exchange students, since neither of them holds Pridelands City citizenship?
          
          I was also wondering if anyone has any ideas for physical descriptions of them, or outfit ideas for the pair, since I have started writing a chapter about them coming to School for the first time and being introduced to their new Classmates.
          
          In terms of personality, I imagine, like in the series, Rani tends to be more serious and studious, while Baliyo can be a bit more fun loving and adventurous and a tad rebellious, and sometimes acts up in order to entertain his Classmates during exceptionally dull lessons, despite regularly earning high marks for his work.

Hey, guys.
          
          For my story "Rival's Love," does anyone have any plot suggestions for Kiara?
          
          So far what I have for her is that she's the reigning Queen Bee of Pridelands High, Captain of the Cheerleading Team, and the envy of every girl crushed after by every boy, in the same way that every girl crushes after Kion and every boy envies him. She's also widely expected to become Mayor of the City after her Father retires from politics, which Kiara really hates because she isn't interested in politics, and already has her own ideas about what career she wants to go into.
          
          Should I give Kiara a scar of her own? Perhaps over or under one eye, or maybe both eyes? In which case, does anyone have any ideas about how she might get them? I was also wondering if anyone has some ideas about improving Kiara's relationship with her brother and parents, perhaps eventually explaining to them about wanting a life of her own choice.
          
          I also imagine Kiara's going to have a thing or two to say when the School's "Handsome Prince" Kion is openly crushing after Zira's daughter, once Vitani's backstory becomes generally known among the students at Pridelands High.

Hey, guys.
          
          I've just started writing a chapter featuring a humanised version of Hadithi the Eagle from the Lion Guard episode "Ono's Idol," and what happens when he starts working at Pridelands High, although I haven't decided yet what subject he'll be teaching, since we've already established Makuu as the perpetually grumpy gym teacher, and Zazu as the geography teacher.
          
          Does anyone have any potential tall stories that Hadithi could tell to the students before someone [most probably Ono] catches him out in a lie? I was also wondering if anyone has ideas for a physical description of him.
          
          I was also wondering if anyone would be interested in a series of chapters focusing on a prank war between Vitani and her three main bullies, which ends only after someone [most likely Vitani herself] gets injured and the teachers intervene.

Hey, guys.
          
          I've finally started writing a chapter based on an episode of The Lion Guard ~ more specifically, The Travelling Baboon Show from series 2. However, I'm going to have to change one or two things: no Roar of The Elders in this story, for a start, so there's no way the Pridelanders would allow powerless teens into the Outlands, and having to write Vitani into the chapter as well ['cause, you know, this story's sorta all about her].
          
          Has anyone got any ideas as to how the chapter could go? How closely should I follow The Travelling Baboon Show's plot [bear in mind it's been a while since I watched the episode] and what should probably be changed?

I don’t see the dialogue on my profile. R u sure u sent it?

How r u

Hi, guys, again.
          
          I'm posting because something's just occured to me:
          
          My personal little headcanon for my Lion Guard AU currently holds that Zira and Scar both served in the military during the time of the First Gulf War waaaay back in 1990 [I placed Simba's birth in 1994, the year the original TLK film came out] and Zira was invalided out of the army after she survived a shell attack on a Command Post but with severe injuries in her legs. 
          
          Would it make sense if she and Scar either met while in High School, or perhaps while they were still Army Cadets, in which Scar's rapid rise through the ranks could have had an effect on the impressionable, younger Zira, or might they have met some other way?
          
          I was also wondering if anyone has any ideas regarding Zira's age at the time the story takes place; Simba, in this AU, is about 19 when he returns to the Pridelands after 11 years in the Backlands with Timon and Pumbaa, and 24 years old when he meets the 5 year old Vitani following the fatal car crash which killed Kopa, assuming Vitani and Kovu were both born around the time of Scar's death. 
          
          P.S: I'm also starting to get ideas for romantic subplots concerning Sarabi, Simba's Mother, and Tama, Zuri's Mother, by the way.

Hey, guys.
          
          I'm just posting up some thoughts I've recently had regarding my human Lion Guard story:
          
          Since I envisioned them as first year students starting their first week of High School, does it make sense that, during lessons, the teachers would explain their expectations of the whole Class [patterns of behaviour, what they will learn, etc.] and maybe try and get to know the newer students as people in order to better understand their individual needs?
          
          I was also wondering if anyone has any names for Zira's individual family members and a physical description for them, since I envisioned Zira having two siblings [one male and one female] in this timeline, one of whom she doesn't talk about as he left the Pridelands many years ago in order to pursue his dream of becoming an explorer. 
          
          I was also wondering if anyone has some ideas as to how Zira met Sarafina and Sarabi, since I was contemplating a chapter in which Zira remembers being present at the births of both Nala and Simba.
          
          I hope you've been enjoying how I portrayed the TLK/G characters; I was concerned I might have made Vitani a bit too girly for some of you, but I think it's reasonable to assume she'd behave differently to the normal TLK universe after 11 years living with the Pridelanders and in a much more loving household. I decided to give her a scar in this story because, well, why not? After all, Kion gained a scar in series three, so why shouldn't she have one too?
