"Scurry, sniff, flinch," Timon started, freezing at the end.

He looked around, but there was nothing.

"Scurry, sniff, flinch," he repeated, doing it again.

He looked around again, but there seemed to be some tune playing.

"Huh. I like the sound of that," he commented before doing it on the beat and singing.

[TIMON:]

"Scurry, sniff, flinch

Scurry, sniff, flinch

Scurry, sniff, flinch

Scurry, sniff, flinch

There's more to life than panic,

And being some other guys snack.

Y/N and I may be delicious, organic,

But these little entrees're fighting back.

We're gonna put diggin' tunnels behind us,

And live at a new altitude.

We're gonna reach for the stars to remind us,

That meerkats are not merely food!

For once we'll be,

Looking out for us.

Yeah!

We'll tell you what I want,

These cats are moving on.

Where they're bonlibontes,

Who's missing out on the bone.

We'd be bigger cheese,

Far from the desert scenes.

A little booling breeze.

A little patch of green.

And we'll be sitting in our hammocks,

By a rippling stream.

Many miles from any tunnels,

Or the digging team.

Looking out for number ones,

Will be our only greed.

That's all we need,

That's all we need!

We've always been good at running away,

But now we're gonna run to show.

We've always been seen as the ultimate prey,

But now our statuses ain't so quo.

Our dreams alive,

Its Hyena time!"

But he stopped at the sound of clapping and new voices.

"Oh, look, it's dinner and a show," Shenzi said.

"And I thought beans were the only musical food," Banzai commented as Timon turned to face them.

Timon gasped and stammered, "Hy-hy-hy-"

"Well, hi to you, too," Shenzi greeted before smacking him.

"Ohh!" Timon grunted at the impact.

He tumbled down the hill until he collided with Y/N, him on top of her. When they noticed the position they were in, they were shocked.

"Ow. Okay," Timon said.

"Timon, what's going on?" she asked worriedly.

"Well, I--" he started to say.

"This is no time for horseplay, Timon. You're supposed to be up there looking out for--" Max started to scold, saw the three hyenas coming their way, then shouted, "Hyenas!"

The other meerkats gasped then ran around, screaming.

"Whoa, look at them scramble," Banzai stated.

''And that's just how I like them-" Shenzi replied.

Then a line of meerkats stopped in front of her nose with Max in front.

"Scrambled..." Shenzi started, licked max, then finished, "And a little bit runny."

"Hyenas!" meerkats screamed.

Some meerkats and the hyenas ran right past Timon and Y/N, him holding her close to him. When they were in the clear, they sighed before someone grabbed them and pulled them underground.

"Get in here. What are you, meshugginahs?" Ma asked them.

More meerkats made it underground in time until Ed stopped Uncle Max with an evil laugh.

"Stumpy?" Ma called.

"Here," Stumpy answered.

"Flinchy?" Ma called again.

"Here," Flinchy remarked.

"Swifty?" Ma called a third time.

"Here," Swifty replied, finishing roll call.

"Oh, what a relief. Everybody's-" Ma started, gasped, then panicked, "Where's Uncle Max?"

Max ran from the three hyenas as the others came to see what was going on.

"Max! Run for your life!" a meerkat called.

"Play dead!" another suggested.

"Andale!" a third encouraged.

"Almost there!" a fourth signaled.

The channel then changed to a shopping network.

"Suede is the look for this fall," a woman informed.

"Hey, what's going on?" Timon asked.

"Um, Pumbaa, I think you're sitting on the remote," Y/N told their warthog friend.

"Huh? Oh, sorry. I thought it was a brownie," Pumbaa apologized, making Y/N giggle.

Pumbaa changed it back to the movie to see Uncle Max, still running from the hyenas.

"You've got it, Max!" another meerkat said.

Then they covered their eyes when they thought he was done for. The meerkats came down bowed their heads in sadness until Max fell in with his tail completely bald except for the tip.

"Max!" one called.

"I flinched when I should've scurried," Max said before passing out.

Up top, the hyenas laughed as they left.

"Ha ha! Oh, man. It just never gets old, does it?" Banzai commented.

"Ooh, the classics never do, honey," Shenzi responded.
