"Um..." Timon mumbled, taking a few steps back and shooting a nervous look
up at Shenzi.
She watched the two approaching with a slack jaw for a moment, looking stunned. "You... ah, you better hide," she said quickly, shoving Timon behind the rock. He landed with an 'oof', but didn't give a peep of protest. He just sat up and pressed his back against the rock, trying to remain as quiet as possible.
"Shenzi!" he heard Banzai greet. "Where have you been?"
"Like its any your business," Shenzi said with sass, although her voice was light. "I just went out on my own for a while. Is that a crime?"
"Yeah, well, we don't have any food. Right, Ed?" The barmy hyena just gave a cackle in response. "And we were looking for you," Banzai added.
Shenzi gave a huge sigh and rolled her eyes, strategically walking away from the rock Timon was cowering behind. "Well, I knew you guys wouldn't last without me."
"Ed chased everything away before I could get the chance to nab 'em," Banzai frowned. He looked over her shoulder, his eyes growing wide, and he pointed with a paw. "See?! See?! He's after something again!"
Shenzi whipped around and gasped when she saw Ed digging frantically at the dirt behind the rock. In a flash, she ran at him and pushed him aside. "Cut it out!" she demanded.
"No, no! Look!" Banzai said, and she looked over to see him peering into the hole. "It's that little hula-hula-hairball!"
"Ah, hi," Timon said nervously, crouching as far as he could into the hole that he had made within a few panic-stricken seconds.
"Let's get him!" Banzai yelled, and like a gunshot, both Banzai and Ed were head first into the hole, growling and clawing.
Shenzi stood helpless behind them, unsure of what to do. She opened her mouth to say something when a hole suddenly appeared in between her paws and out popped a panting Timon. She looked down at him, wide-eyed, but didn't have time to react before the two meerkat-hungry hyenas headed right at her. Timon yelped in alarm and took off for a bush, sliding underneath it and hoping its prickly leaves would ward them off. The two jumped back a little at first contact, but it did not ebb their hunt. With blunt claws, they dug at the dirt, getting closer and closer to Timon.
"Help!" Timon finally called, backing up as far as he could against the root of the bush. "Please, help!"
Shenzi stood there and bit her lower lip, afraid to be made a fool in front of them.
Timon stared at her in disbelief, his heart pounding as his two foes got closer. He tipped his head back and let out one last desperate yell, "Shenzi, help!" before he was being dragged out by his tail.
"Gotcha!" Banzai exclaimed.
She watched the two approaching with a slack jaw for a moment, looking stunned. "You... ah, you better hide," she said quickly, shoving Timon behind the rock.
