Then all of a sudden it was Mufasa and Zazu's turn to take the stage. As they were on there way Zazu was on Mufasa's shoulder speaking to him
Zazu: Do we really have to go through with this sire? We need a heart to heart talk here, you don't really want to go through with this do you?....I hope not! Do I have to be the pouncing dummy?....This is very wrong indeed....why don't you just use some random pooch who doesn't care about getting their bones broken.
Mufasa laughed at Zazu and shook his head. "Zazu, Zazu, Zazu..what am I going to do with you? Look, i'm not going to hurt you. Trust me, it'll be fun!"
Zazu: If you call me being flattened fun then be my guest!
Mufasa smiled and continued on with Zazu on his shoulder. Someone put a huge stone in the middle of the stage and 15 ft obstacles all over the stage. Some were shorter than others, a lot shorter and some were just a little big shorter. Zazu shook his head as he got up from his shoulder and flew up and landed on the stone and stood there. He gulped and said "Sire you owe me big time!"
Mufasa just nodded and moved onto the stage and then moved all the way to the right and got up on the 15ft obstacle. He then waited til it was time to start and then he quickly jumped off and went through each obstacle quickly left and right with no problem and til finally when it came to the end Mufasa was seen soaring at Zazu. "AHHHH!!!" Screamed Zazu. He pounced on Zazu and Zazu layed on the ground twitching. Mufasa stood up and smiled and took a bow. Mufasa picked Zazu up and Zazu went to bow also but he fell in the process. Mufasa picked up Zazu and put him on his shoulder and finally Zazu snapped out of it and was fine. He took a quick bow as they accepted the loud cheering and the many applauses of the many people who thought that what they just did was an amazing performance.

(posting for Merlin) Archimedes, who throned on top of Merlin`s hat, immediately took symphaty for the poor African bird. After all he knew all about what it was to be tormented by your "master" (at least that were what he let Merlin think)
The owl circled around, discreetly "psst`ing" the fellow bird, hoping to share a word or two with him.
Meanwhile, Merlin took it upon himself to enter the stage to show them all " a real trick,... or two" as he put it. He appeared on the stage, riding a brightly colored fire dragon. (Literally, as the dragon is made by fire) The dragon then shot into the air at high speed, and exploded into a rain of roses right over the heads of the audience, leaving Merlin alone on the stage.
The wizard then showed of his shape shifting skills, by morphing faster an faster for each shape, till he came up in and amazing speed. As he reached his speed limit, at the point he started to get slightly blurry, he suddenly disappeared with a poof.
So did the stage..
Merlin waited for the audience shocked reaction, and returned the stage,and himself, before panic could break out. Almost as a second thought he waved his wand lazily towards Archie as he where about to climb down the stage.
The owl looked absolutely adorable in his new ballerina skirt, with a hat that looked a lot like Frollo`s to go with it.

A pouncing demonstration...that was unusual. But, thought Gadget, applauding, educational, in a way.
Then came a magic show from her friend Merlin. It was awe-inspiring! From the flaming dragon at the beginning to the disappearing stage at the end.
"Wow! What great tricks. I wonder how he does it? Oh, yeah," she remembered suddenly, "real magic."
The finale was an owl in a tutu, which was awfully funny.

Basil took his turn on stage, but not as a violinist. He decided to give a dramatic reading from MacBeth, Act II Scene I, in full costume. Beginning with MacBeth's speech, "Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand?" and continuing quite passionately as the character contmplated the murder he intended to commit. Having studied drama at university for the express purpose of using disguises in detective work, Basil was an excellent actor. But the tour de force came at the end of the speech, "I go and it is done; the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan, for it ts a knell That summons thee to Heaven or to Hell." when Basil dashed off one side of the stage and re-entered mere moments later from the opposite side, now dressed in woman's costume to recite Lady MacBeth. "That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold" he intoned in a very creditable female impersonation, filled with suppressed ambition and sinister intentions. Basil skipped over a good bit in which the husband and wife characters confer, but it couldn't be helped in a one-man performance. Ending with, "I'll gild the faces of the grooms withal, For it must seem their guilt." He then swept away the lady's dress and wig in an instant, appearing as himself to take his bow.

(Mind if Pinoke joins?)
Pinocchio was walking around the Dino Land for he had not wandered here before. He looked around for something interesting to do. Then a look of a stage caught his eye. He had before been on stage and decided to have a look.
As he got inside, he spotted many characters. He cracked his wooden knuckles and straightened his hat out before blurting out. "Hi! My name is Pinocchio! I have been on the stage before, and look.." He moved around and gave a few moves. "I've got no strings to hold me down!"
He then stood patiently to wait before he could be accepted. He wanted very much to be in show once again and NOT be tricked or locked in a birdcage. He hoped these folks would be respectful.

Pinocchio looked and saw a mouse, but it looked friendly. "Hello there." he said. "Mind if I do a sing and dance?"

There was that little wooden boy again. 'Pinochle,' or whatever his name was. <<Pinochle is a card game, in case anybody didn't know>>
Basil hadn't seen him in quite some time, and was glad for a chance to observe him more closely.
"By all means, sing away."

Pinocchio chuckled. "My name is Pinocchio. Hold on to your hat, because what I'm about to do will blow your mind." With that he began his song and danced number and did thousands of different dances around the stage and then gave the finale with a perfect split. He was sure to amaze the crowd this way.

Basil applauded politely, though he was more interested in the puppet himself than the dance.
"I say, how do you do that? Move about without strings and such?"
He produced a magnifying glass and examined the child more closely. "Yes, most certainly made of wood. Pine, if I'm not mistaken."

Pinocchio nodded. "I am made of wood. I was built by a woodcarver named Geppetto and he's now my father. Listen." He then began to sing a song of how he came about.

"Yes, yes," answered Basil impatiently, "lovely little tune." He wished the wooden boy would stand still instead of dancing about like that.
"How did this woodcarver create a living puppet? Is he a wizard?"

"Oh, no," Pinocchio said with a shake of his wooden head. How could he explain such to a mouse. "How'd you come about?"

"Well, when two mice fall in love and get married, then they...that is..."
"Er, perhaps you'd better ask your parents."

"I didn't come by nature." was all the puppet said.
