A/N: I saw this YouTube video about Scar and Mufasa. When i saw it, i immediately said, "I got to write a story about it." It's actually a lip sync video. It's by flashkaviolet. It's called, "Scar and Mufasa have a talk before the coronation." It was a really heartwarming video. I suggest you watch it. Anyway, this is a short story before Mufasa was king. Hope you like it.

A ceremony is taking place at Pride Rock. The new King is going to take his place at Pride Rock. It's a fairly easy event. The shaman and the others say a few words about the new King and then the new King roars to let everyone know that he has claimed his place. Unfortunately for the new king, Mufasa is having trouble keeping calm about the event. He's inside the main den getting ready. Zazu is trying to help him.

Mufasa kept saying all these impossible things. He complained, "What if I roar wrong? I'll be a laughing stock. Surely, I can't do it."

Zazu sighed, "Sire, you're worried for nothing. Trust me; you'll be in and out very easily."

He took a deep breath to try to stay calm. But, his efforts were fruitless. He continued, "What if,"

Zazu squawked, "Mufasa, you've got to stop with all these 'What ifs'."

A lioness came into the den. She asked, "Zazu, can you fly over the crowd to see if everyone is present?"

Mufasa gasped, "Crowd?"

He rolled his eyes and sighed, "Good job, Sarabi." The lioness smiled and walked out. Zazu flew up and accidently hit the King's mane. He said, "Sorry."

Mufasa responded with a sigh. There were footsteps inside the den. There was voice that teased, "Oooh. Nice feathers."

Mufasa laughed and turned around. It was his brother Ta-err-Scar. Mufasa asked, "You don't really want to start this again, do you?"

Scar advanced forward. He smiled, "I was being sincere."

Mufasa growled, "You are incapable of sincerity!"

Scar was taken aback. He asked but meant it to be rhetorical, "Am I?"

Mufasa said, "Yes!"

There was a silence between the two. Scar got up to Mufasa. He sighed, "I've looked forward to this day, as long as you have."

Mufasa looked at his younger brother, shocked. Scar continued, "You're my brother and my friend."

He simply nodded. Scar continued walking away only a few feet, "Sometimes I'm envious. But, I never had done that on you."

Mufasa smiled and embraced him. Scar returned it. He was about to leave out, until Mufasa said, "Thank you."

Scar joked, "Now how about a kiss?"

Mufasa playfully pushed him and laughed, "Stop it."

Scar also laughed. The two smiled at each other and remained silent. Mufasa looked down at the ground. Scar started walking towards him. He asked, "Really, how do I look?"

Scar looked at his brother. He was going to put out another joke but, couldn't say it. He said, "Like a king."

Mufasa smiled at him. There were sounds at the entrance. Rafiki stood at the entrance as a signal. Scar took a deep breath and informed, "It's time."

Mufasa furrowed his brow. He sighed, "You go ahead."

Scar look at his brother, disbelieving. Mufasa said seriously, "I'll be alone, go on."

Scar nodded and left outside to get it started. Mufasa took a deep breath. The conversation helped him calm down. After a few minutes he went outside.

Mufasa walked out on time to hear the few words, a few friends had to say about him. Rafiki announced, "Now, from Mufasa's brother, Scar."

Scar advanced forward to the peak. He looked down at all the animals gathered. Then, he looked back at his brother. He announced, "I know everyone has seen me mostly, when I was with the hyenas. I've forgotten who I am. But, when I was cub I knew who I was. Not to mention, my brother. He's loyal, faithful, and a good friend. Actually he seemed to be my only friend. And I guarantee you'll love him, as much as my father and mother did. But, not as much as I do."

Mufasa eyes widened. He started smiling. He's never really heard his brother say these words it was nice. Rafiki whispered to Mufasa, "It is time."

Scar started walking down as soon as Mufasa started walking up. They passed by each other. Scar stopped him and whispered, "Give them a roar they'll never forget."

Mufasa nodded. The two parted. Scar sat down beside Sarabi. She whispered, "I didn't know you felt that way."

Scar laughed, "Nether did I." She sent him a warm smile.

Mufasa got up to the peak. He looked down at all the animals and looked back at the pride. But, he was mostly looking at his brother. Scar nodded to him. Mufasa turned his head, took a deep breath and roared as loud as he could. All the animals responded, trumpeting, chittering, chirping, etc. The pride roared back. He turned around and headed down Pride Rock, so his new subjects can see him better. He walked along the side of his mate, Sarabi.

Zazu went on his shoulder and said, "Didn't I'll tell you it'd be easy."

Scar's the only one who stayed behind. He whispered, "Good job my brother and good luck."
