Simba was laying out in the hot desert sun with Saki and Mai. Buzzards circled around their bodies. When they flew down to them, Saki and Mai woke up. Then in an instant, Timon appeared riding on Pumbaa and dived into the midst of the buzzards. Hearing Timon yell while he and Pumbaa charged in made Saki and Mai scream and get up. Then they helped the meerkat and warthog slap and kick the buzzards all away. "Get out! Get out! Get outta here! Whoo!" Timon said while slapping the buzzards. "I love it! Bowling for buzzards!" said Pumbaa. Timon laughed while dusting himself off. "Get's e'm every time" he laughed then stopped when he saw the girls. "You girls okay?" he asked. "We're fine thank you" said Saki and Mai. Pumbaa looked at Simba. "Uh oh. Hey Timon. You better come look. I think it's still alive" he said. Timon looked disgusted at first then he walked to the front of Simba who was lying with his paw over his face. "All righty, we have we got here?" said Timon before smelling Simba. Then he tried to lift Simba's paw but he couldn't. He went under it and with a great push, he got the paw over his head and saw Simba's face. "Jeez, it's a lion!" he said letting go of Simba's paw. Timon jumped on Pumbaa. "Run, Pumbaa! Move it!" he told him. "Hey, Timon. It's just a little lion. Look at him. He's so cute and all alone! Can we keep him?" said Pumbaa. "Pumbaa, are you nuts?" Timon yelled into Pumbaa's ear creating a reverbrating effect. "We're talking about a lion. Lions eat guys like us". "But he's so little" said Pumbaa leaning over to regard Simba. He accidentally dumped Timon from his head. "He's gonna get bigger" said Timon. "Maybe he'll be on our side" said Pumbaa. "A-huh! That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Maybe he'll b-..Hey, I got it! What if he's on our side? Y'know, having a lion around might not be such a bad idea" said Timon. "Isn't that what Pumbaa just said?" Saki thought to herself. "So we're keeping 'im?" asked Pumbaa. "Of course. Who's the brain in this outfit?" said Timon. Pumbaa picked Simba up on his tusks. "Uhh..." Pumbaa said. "My point exactly. Jeez, I'm fried. Let's get out of here and find some shade" said Timon. "We're coming to" said Mai following Timon and Pumbaa with Saki. While walking, Mai said "I'm Mai by the way and this is Saki". "I'm Timon and this is Pumbaa" said Timon.

Next, they were near a pool of water and oasis. Simba was laid near the water. Timon splashed some water in Simba's face and Simba stirred. "You okay kid?" Timon asked. "I guess so" said Simba. "You nearly died" said Pumbaa. "I saved you" said Timon. Pumbaa snorted at that. "Well, uh, Pumbaa and the girls helped. A little" said Timon. "Thanks for your help" said Simba walking away. "Simba, where are you going?" asked Saki. "Nowhere" Simba replied. The girls followed him. "Gee. He looks blue" Timon told Pumbaa while watching Simba. "I'd say brownish gold" said Pumbaa. "No, no, no, no. I mean he's depressed" said Timon. "Oh" Pumbaa said. He trotted up to Simba with Timon following him. "Hey kid, what's eatin' ya?" he asked. "Nothing; he's at the top of the food chain" said Timon. He laughed at his joke. "The food cha-haain!" he laughed. Pumbaa, Simba, Saki and Mai stared at him silently. Timon stopped laughing. "So, where you from...?" he asked. "Who cares? I can't go back" said Simba. "Ahh. You're an outcast! That's great, so are we" said Timon. "What'cha do kid?" asked Pumbaa. "Something terrible. But I don't wanna talk about it" said Simba. "We don't want to either because Mai and I were involved" said Saki. "Good. We don't wanna hear about it" said Timon. "Come on, Timon. Anything we can do?" Pumbaa asked. "Not unless you can change the past" said Simba. "Y'know kid, in times like this my buddy Timon here says "You got to put your behind in your past..." said Pumbaa. Timon waved his arms saying "No, no, no". "I mean.." said Pumbaa thinking. "Amateur. Lie down before you hurt yourself. It's "You got to put your past behind you." Look, kids. Bad things happen, and you can't do anything about it right?" said Timon. "Right" Simba replied. Timon poked Simba's nose. "Wrong! When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world" said Timon. "That's not what we were taught" said Saki. "Then maybe you three need a new lesson" said Timon. "Actually there's more of us" said Mai. The fairies came out of their communes. Timon shrieked and stepped back in alarm. The fairies introduced themselves. Timon took a breath and said "Nice to meet you too. As I was saying, maybe you all need a new lesson. Repeat after me". He cleared his throat. "Hakuna Matata". "What?" said Simba. "Ha-ku-na Ma-ta-ta. It means no worries" said Pumbaa. "Here comes my other favorite song" Saki whispered to Mai.

Timon:
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase

Pumbaa:
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

Timon:
It means no worries
For the rest of your days

Timon and Pumbaa:
It's our problem-free
Philosophy

Timon:
Hakuna Matata!

"Hakuna Matata?" Simba asked. "Yeah, it's our motto" said Pumbaa. "What's a motto?" asked Simba. "Nothing! What's a motto with you?" said Timon. He, Pumbaa, the girls and fairies laughed. "You're funny Timon" said Saki. "Thanks Saki" said Timon smiling. "You know, guys-These two words will solve all your problems" said Pumbaa. "That's right! Take Pumbaa for example!" said Timon before singing again.

Timon:
Why, when he was a young warthog...

Pumbaa (using an Italian counter-tenor rage):
When I was a young wart hoooog!

Timon (speaking):
Very nice

Pumbaa (speaking):
Thanks!

Timon:
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal

Pumbaa:
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seemed thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame

Timon:
He was ashamed!

Pumbaa:
Thoughta changin' my name

Timon:
Oh, what's in a name?

Pumbaa:
And I got downhearted

Timon:
How did you feel?

Pumbaa:
Every time that I...

Timon (speaking):
Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!

Pumbaa (speaking):
Oh...sorry

Timon and Pumbaa:
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

Simba, Saki and Mai:
It means no worries
For the rest of your days

Timon (speaking):
Yeah, sing it kids!

Simba, Timon and Saki:
It's our problem-free...

Pumbaa and Mai:
...philosophy...

All:
Hakuna Matata!

Then Timon pulled back a fern leaf, revealing a beautiful view of a rift-jungle. Waterfalls and rugged terrain made a beautiful view. "Welcome...to our humble home" said Timon. "You live here?" asked Simba. "We live wherever we want" said Timon. "Yep. Home is where your rump rests! Heh" said Pumbaa. "It's beautiful. I could definitely draw this scenery. Too bad I don't have my sketchpad and pencil though" said Mai. Pumbaa's stomach started growling. "I'm starved" he said. While he and Timon explained to Simba how to eat like them, Saki and Mai looked around for some fruit. Saki saw some mangos on a tree and picked one for her and one for Mai. "Thanks Saki" Mai said. "Saki, could you give us all a snack too-lapi?" asked Flappy. "Please-chopi" said Choppy. "Okay" the girls said. The fairies turned into their commune forms making Timon, Pumbaa and Simba notice. They watched Saki and Mai raise the Crystal Communes near the Splash Commune and two lines of red light went from the Crystal Communes to the Splash Commune making Flappy and Choppy go into it and eat with Moop and Foop. "I didn't see you guys do that before" said Simba. "That's how we feed our fairies" said Saki. After Simba ate a grub, he, Timon, Pumbaa, and the girls walked across a log, walking and tossing their heads to the music. With a steady built in the music, a change occurs. Simba becomes an adolescent, then an adult.

Timon, Pumbaa, Saki and Mai (chanting to the music):
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata

Simba (adult voice now):
It means no worries
For the rest of your days

All:
It's our problem-free
Philosophy

Simba:
Hakuna Matata

They all dived off the log into a pond. First, Timon jumped in doing a cannonball making a small splash. Then Pumbaa doing a swan dive made a small splash too. Then Saki, Mai and the fairies jumped in making a bigger splash. Finally, Simba swings on a vine gripping his teeth but before he could dive, the vine breaks under his weight. The resulting splash was big enough to wash Timon, Pumbaa, the girls and fairies ashore.

That night, they all were laying on their backs on some grass watching the stars. "Whoah, nice one Simba" said Timon. "Thanks. Man, I'm stuffed" said Simba. "Me too. I ate like a pig" said Pumbaa. "Pumbaa, you are a pig-pupu" said Foop. "Oh. Right" said Pumbaa. They all sighed deeply in unison. "It feels good to be out here watching the night sky again-chopi" said Choppy. "Timon?" Pumbaa asked. "Yeah?" said Timon. "Ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?" asked Pumbaa. "Pumbaa, I don't wonder. I know" said Timon. "Oh. What are they?" Pumbaa asked. "They're fireflies. Fireflies that uh...got stuck up on that big...bluish-black...thing" said Timon. "Oh. Gee. I always thought that they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away" said Pumbaa. "Pumbaa, wit' you, everything's gas" said Timon. "Saki, what do you think?" asked Pumbaa. "I was kind of thinking the same thing" said Saki. "Me to" said Mai. "And us!" said the fairies. "How about you Simba?" asked Saki. "Well, I don't know..." said Simba. "Aw come on. Give, give, give..Well, come on Simba, we all told you ours...pleeeease?" said Pumbaa. "Come on, come on..give, give" Timon added. "Well, somebody once told me that the great kings of the past are up there, watching over us" Simba said reluctantly. "Really?" said Pumbaa. "You mean a bunch of royal dead guys are watching us?" said Timon. He tried to keep posture, then "Pbbb". He broke out laughing and Pumbaa joined him but the girls and fairies didn't. "Who told you something like that? What mook made that up?" said Timon. "Yeah. Pretty dumb, huh?" said Simba. "Aw, you're killing me, Simba" said Timon. Simba looked back up at the stars. Then he quietly got up and left. "Was it something I said?" asked Timon. "Maybe-mupu" said Moop.
