[Cut to a pile of snails. The camera pans to show the sun. "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" plays in the background. Simba and Timon face off at opposite ends of a massive pile of snails on a rock table. They each have a determined expression on their face. They flex their paws to the beat of the music. Meanwhile,Pikachu,Scorbunny, and Pumbaa sits in a bush, clearly worried.]
Pumbaa:I don't think this is such a good idea.
Pikcahu and Scorbunny: agreed.
[Simba grabs a snail and slurps it straight out of its shell, leaving slime all over his chin. He slams the shell down and leers at Timon, who yawns theatrically, then slurps down a snail of his own and folds his arms defiantly. Simba raises a paw with four snails, which he slurps down rapid-fire one after the other, then tosses the shells down and grins devilishly. Timon stares back in amazement, his eye twitching. Then he swallows four of his own, swats away the shells, and grins at Simba, a trifle insanely, breathing heavily. Cut to Pikachu,Scorbunny, and Pumbaa in the bushes, looking at one, then the other, like in a tennis match, as we hear slurps from one side and then the other in rapid succession. Finally,Pikachu,Scorbunny, and Pumbaa sinks down in trepidation, and the camera switches back to Simba and Timon, who are slumped against the rock table, only one snail left in front of each of them. In extreme perspective, Simba reaches for his final snail and shudders.]
Simba:*groans*
[Simba slurps the snail down.]
Simba:*belches*
[Simba tosses the shell away with a drunken smirk and rests his head on his paws. Timon looks uncertainly at his final snail. He picks it up, his belly bulging out over the edge of the rock. The snail in his hands morphs into Pumbaa.]
Pumbaa snail:I told you this wasn't such a good idea!
[Timon gags. In slow motion, he throws the snail up in defeat and collapses backward onto the ground. His arm falls limply against the grass. In regular speed, the snail lands on the rock table and crawls away frantically. Cut to an overhead view of Timon lying on the ground. The camera slowly zooms out to show the large pile of snail shells next to him.]
Pumbaa:[voiceover] Thus did the pupil surpass the teacher.
Scorbunny:[voiceover] Wow that was a good one Pumbaa.
Timon:[voiceover] You've been hanging around with the monkey again, haven't you?
[Pikachu,Scorbunny, and Pumbaa approaches Timon, looking concerned. They helps Timon stand.]
Timon:Uh. [Timon watches Simba swagger away.] Our Simba is growing up.
Pikachu:Well, you know what they say. Kids gown up fast.
[Pikachu,Scorbunny,Timon and Pumbaa stare after Simba wistfully. Timon gesticulates holding a baby.
Timon: Is this the little boy I carried?
[Pumbaa looks at Timon.]
Pumbaa: When did he grow to be so tall?
Pikachu,Scorbunny,Timon and Pumbaa: Wasn't it yesterday when he was small?

[The scene transitions to a bubbling pool in the jungle. Pikachu,Scorbunny,Pumbaa and Simba relax in the water.]
Pumbaa:So, you see, that's why they call it a dung beetle.
[Simba looks at Pumbaa in disgust.]
Simba:Ewww. You don't say. And yet still so tasty.
Pumbba:Oh, yeah, [Timon walks up to the edge of the pool, holding a leaf like it's a towel.] and they're my favorite too.
Scorbunny: Ah, I never felt so alive.
Pikachu:Me too Scorbunny me too.
[Timon throws the leaf aside and tests the water with his toe.]
Timon:Ooh! [Timon begins easing himself into the pool.] Ah. Ah.
[Timon slides fully into the pool. He,Pikachu,Scorbunny,Pumbaa and Simba relax in the water.]
Timon:Just what the doctor ordered.
Pumbaa:Yep. After a long day of doing nothing, it's good to kick back.
Simba:Five pals and no worries. What more could you want?
Pikachu,Scorbunny,Simba,Timon, and Pumbaa: Ah.
Pumbaa:*yawns* [Pumbaa stretches and rubs his backside.] I'm bushed. [Pumbaa starts to climb out of the pool.] Think I'll turn in for the night.
[Pumbaa gets out of the pool, and the bubbles immediately stop. Pumbaa waddles away. Simba Pikachu,Scorbunny,and Timon open their eyes and stare after Pumbaa. They look down at the pool in disgust, then at each other.]
Timon:I'm out.
Scorbunny:Me Too.
[Timon, and Scorbunny darts out of the pool. Pikachu, and Simba does the same.]
Pikachu, and Simba:Right behind you.
[Pumbaa approaches his leaf bed. Pikachu,Scorbunny,Simba and Timon run to join him. As the Five slide into bed together, Simba gives Pumbaa a noogie.]
Simba:Oh!
Pumbaa:Ah, ha, ha! You're killing me!
[Timon tickles Simba.]
Simba:*laughs*
[Pikachu,Scorbunny,Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa snuggle together and close their eyes. Pumbaa looks at Timon.]
Pumbaa:Timon, it's your turn to say good night.
[Pumbaa closes his eyes.]
Timon:Good night!
[Simba glances at Timon.]
Simba:Sleep tight!
[Pumbaa glances at Timon.]
Pumbba:Dream of bedbugs tonight! [Pumbaa instantly passes out.] *snores*
[Simba moves his paw so his head is resting on it, and Pumbaa gets comically squished. Timon lies with Simba's other paw over him. Simba moves it unconsciously, and Timon, realizing what is happening, grabs for it and snuggles with it again. The camera slowly zooms out from Pikachu,Scorbunny,Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa.]
Scorbunny:[voiceover] Ah. You go to admit, we had a pretty good thing going there.
Pumbaa:[voiceover] We could've gone on like that forever.
Timon:[voiceover] Except for one teeny, weeny, little thing we forgot to count on.
