I Just Can't Wait to be King

(For more immersion listen to 'I Just Can't Wait to be King' from The Lion King)

♪I'm gonna be a mighty king,

so enemies, beware!

Well, I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair.♪

♪I'm gonna be the main event,

like no king was before.

I'm brushing up on looking down,

I'm working on my roar!

Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing.♪

♪Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think...♪

♪No one saying, "Do this."

No one saying, "Be there."

No one saying, "Stop that!"

No one saying, "See here!"

Now, see here!

Free to run around all day.

Free to do it all my way.♪

♪I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart-to-heart.

Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start.♪

♪If this is where the monarchy is headed, count me out!

Out of service,

out of Africa,

I wouldn't hang about.

Ah! This child is getting wildly out of wing.♪

♪Oh, I just can't wait to be king!♪

♪Everybody look left.

Everybody look right.

Everywhere you look, I'm standing spotlight.

Not yet!

Let every creature go for broke and sing.

Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing.

It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling.♪

♪Oh, I just can't wait to be king.

Oh, I just can't wait to be king.

Oh, I just can't wait...♪

♪to be king.♪

After finishing the song, I was impressed with Camila's vocal talents. She was a natural at singing, kind of like me and Taylor, and she was able to keep up with me and my clone without a problem. She didn't even make any mistakes when it came to wording.

"Are you sure you need me to teach you? I don't think there is anything I could teach you that would make you better than you already are." I complimented her and she ended up getting flustered.

"I'm not that good, you were able to sing two parts on your own." She ended up looking at the ground with a blush on her face, probably not used to getting compliments from someone.

"Bah, that's just because of my quirk. I actually split into an entirely new person, so this guy right here," I hook my arm around my clone's neck as he just smiles at Camila, "is his own person."

Camila nods her head after hearing my explanation, then she puts her hand to her chin as if she was thinking about something. "Doesn't that make you sort of like a mother?"

I was completely caught off guard by that statement and end up falling with my clone to the ground in an overdramatic fashion. This startles Camila and she ends up yelping in shock and covers her face in panic.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" There aren't any tears in her eyes currently, but I can tell that she is about to start the water works. I guess that the villain attack really did cause her to panic a lot more.

"It's fine, I've just never thought of it like that before." I lower my voice and dispel my clones. I walk up to her and end up patting her head, causing her to tense up at the sensation but eventually she relaxes.

We walk out of the room a few minutes later, Camila having calmed down, and I walk her to her room. We part ways for now and I head to my room, settling myself into my desk chair and pulling out my notebook.

I need to think about making an album for when Star introduces me to that music production company. If I can make a good album then that is one step closer to me being famous.

I'm not just trying to be famous for the money, well that is the main reason but it's actually bigger than that! I want to pay back the people who have helped me in my life and the orphanage has done more for me than I can possibly repay.

I also want to repay people like Mr. Gram and Ms. Portman more personally, but I need to have money to do something significant for them.

Anyway, my album is going to be a collection of songs from various artists from my old world. Just choosing one album wouldn't work because I personally don't enjoy every song that someone produces, and I doubt that people are that different here.

So my album is going to be something like this:

1. Like it Like That by Guy Sebastian

2. There's Nothing Holding Me Back by Shawn Mendes

3. Something Big by Shawn Mendes

4. Best Day of My Life by American Authors

5. Sucker by Jonas Brothers

6. Stay by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber

7. Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts (the Cars version)

8. Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

9. Hooked on a Feeling by Blue Swede

10. I Wanna Be Like You by Fall Out Boy (the We Love Disney version)

11. We Are Young by Fun.

12. On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons

I think that this is a good collection of songs, and they shouldn't be too difficult to play. I already have played some of them, I just need to have them recorded now. Now I need to start practicing the other songs, which will hopefully be finished before Star returns.

I also don't need any help to practice the songs as they are all mostly male artists who sung them. Maybe in my next album I can do some duets with Taylor or Camila if they agree, which I'm sure that at least Taylor will.

It's almost dinner time, so I'll start practicing tomorrow during school. Some of the songs even have guitar solo's that will be super fun to do. I honestly couldn't wait to work on the songs, it has really been the highlight of this life so far.

About half an hour later we were called for dinner. I sat down with Taylor since I hadn't seen her all day, being too busy with the new kids, and Camila came down and sat next to me as well. I didn't mind, she was a sweet girl who just needed some help to get over the incident.

We all talked during dinner and Taylor and Camila even became good friends somehow. I don't know if it's just a girl thing that they were able to become friends this quickly or if they were just compatible, but I was happy for them.

Leaving them, I once again returned to my room and settled down at my desk. I needed to write down the lyrics of the songs I was going to use before I could sleep.

It took some time to write down the lyrics to all of the songs that I needed in my album, but I eventually got it done. It only took a couple of hours, but I was exhausted after what had happened today. Meeting Star and Stripes, getting new kids at the orphanage, publishing my first song, it was a lot for me.

It was fun but I hoped that not every day was going to be as hectic as today was. I also hoped that I was able to help the kids in some way, they had been through a lot after the Cuba incident.
