The Lion King: Simba – Returning Home - Game Script Will Simba come back to the Pride Lands?

Timon and Pumbaa Simba's best friends in the jungle.

You are Timon and Pumbaa. A meerkat and a warthog that are best friends. As both of them have the same agenda, you talk for them both. You live in the jungle, where you just have fun all day. One day, years ago, you met the cutest lion cub, Simba. You took him under your wing and taught him everything about the Hakuna Matata philosophy. Since he grew up, you have enjoyed the fact that you have a predator on your side. Besides, you love Simba as a friend and love hanging out with him, drinking shakes, eating delicious insects and basically having the time of your life in the jungle.   

Your Task

Now that other characters ask Simba to go back to his homeland and leave the jungle, you must try and do everything in your power to keep him away from doing it. You want Simba to stay with you in the jungle, as a friend and as an important predator that helps guarding you from other predators.

In trying to convince Simba, you can try to use the good times that you have together in the jungle as good motives to stay.

You have to explain why Simba should stay with you and not go back to the Pride Lands and reclaim the throne.

Scar King of Pride Lands after Mufasa’s death

Your Task

You must make sure Simba does not come back to the Pride Lands. Just as you did years ago, make sure Simba knows that the blame for the death of his father is on him. You can kill two birds with one stone by manipulating and convincing Simba that it is his fault Mufasa is dead; you stay the king and Nala will be your queen.

You can lie as you like and tell Simba that his mother would never be able to forgive him after what he has done to his father.

However, make sure you keep up the impression of the sympathetic uncle who only wants to help his younger and innocent nephew. Only this way you will succeed to keep him away from the Pride Lands.

Do everything you can to secure your power.
