Timon and Pumbaa deciding to take cub Simba to therapy... To the only "therapist" they know, Rafiki.

And Rafiki obviously recognises Simba, but they all agree that Simba is too young and he's so traumatised to get back into the Pride lands, even more with Scar there. So Timon and Pumbaa still raise Simba, trying to help him with his therapy and to heal.

But also there's Rafiki telling about Simba to Nala and Sarabi, and telling about Nala and Sarabi to Simba.

Maybe even they organise secret meetings where Sarbi and Nala goes to the Oasis, Nala staying in the Oasis longer because she's also a cub.

And, when Simba grows up, he goes to defeat Scar.

AND IT'S TIMON X PUMBAA

Oh sign me up👁️👁️

I DO I DO I DO!!!!!!

I made the little cast list right here if you wanna learn more about it :)

(I don't think this makes sense without the context so you can read about my au here lol, it's messy but it's made for fun reasons and because i can draw whatever i want)

ANYWAY

The first time Kion roared he thought no one had seen him doing it as no one believed him ,even though he tried telling his family, everyone was busy preparing a celebration.

The night of that celebration Kion wandered off alone away from the buzz and talking to himself he muttered something about no one believing him which is when Bunga showed up from behind a rock and said that he believes him because he saw it (Kion and Bunga hadn't know eachother up to that point).

Bunga isn't from the pridelands but somehow managed to travel there by himself as he was looking for a home idk

The two become friends very quickly and spend the rest of the night when Kion is supposed to be at the celebration together and have fun doing stupid early teenage things and messing around,Bunga thinks Kion's magic is really cool and they bond over never really having friends although they soon get lost (i imagine in a forest or smth as they are still in the pridelands)

I kinda imagine something attacking them and they definitely dodge death too last minute lmao

They manage to be alive idk and Kion gets home by sunrise where everyone is just hangover LMAOAO and turned out everyone was looking for Kion and were like "OMG WHERE WERE YOU WE WERE SO WORRIED" and yada yada and Kion introduces them to Bunga who will be staying at the pridelands from now and then on.~~
