Three Wildebeest

[Action - Mayfield High]

[So Simba's quickly learning that animals are not allowed inside any of the buildings around Mayfield. But stubborn curiosity has kept him going as he's determined to see what they're keeping secret from him. Obviously it's something that he's not meant to see, otherwise why else would they chase him out every time he tries to snoop around? And his exploring eventually leads him to outside the school, a place where he definitely hasn't been yet.

After waiting by a nearby tree, it dawns on him how he's going to get inside. He crouches down and sneaks closer to a group of drone kids, one of them that has set his backpack down in order talk to some of his friends. While the drone's distracted, Simba crawls into the backpack and waits. Eventually, as the bell rings the drones disperse and the drone boy picks up his bag - only to find it much heavier for some weird reason.]

Oof! I didn't remember packing this many books this morning!

[But since the kid is a drone, he doesn't question it much and hauls that heavy backpack to class. However, as he gets to class and gets settled in, his bag seems to be...twitching? As soon as the kid reaches down to open his backpack for his notebook, Simba scrambles out before he can get caught.

There is now a lion in the school.

And he's currently sneaking into classrooms, lunchrooms, the teacher's lounge, and wherever else he thinks he can get to without being caught.

Do you want to try catching him?]

[Oh, is that the tip of a yellow lion's tail? Shepard pauses a moment to stare at the desk in the teacher's lounge.]

[causesstampedes]

[A second later, Shepard will hear the sound of a light thump from behind the desk as Simba smacks his head while trying to stand up.]

Ow!

[the_end_run]

[Shepard will duck behind the desk and raise one eyebrow.]

You know, most kids would try to stay out of school. If you wanted to join a class, you could've just asked.

[causesstampedes]

But whenever I try going into one of these places, I get thrown out! I wanna see what's in here too!

[the_end_run]

There's not a lot going on, but if you're that interested, you can come along to one of my classes. It's gym, so I think you'll enjoy it.

[causesstampedes]

I can?! That'd be great! What's "gym"?

[the_end_run]

[How to explain PE to a lion?]

It's basically a place where kids get to exercise. You'll see what I mean.

[She beckons him to follow her out. When they've reached the gym, there's already kids doing laps, some of the girls playing skip rope, and a game of basketball going on at the court. There's also soccer out in the field as well.]

[Simba's eyes widen. The running, the chasing after balls, all the playing...]

This is gym?!

[This is no gym, this has to be some kind of wonderland.

No wonder the drones were keeping him out, this looks like fun.]

[the_end_run]

Yeah. It's probably the most fun you can find in high school, if you like physical activities.

Now, I'll let you play around here but no eating, biting or clawing the students. Alright?

[causesstampedes]

I don't do that kinda stuff anyway!

...So I can really come to this gym whenever I want?
