(One day in the Pride Lands, the world is at peace as Nala watch over in the peak of Pride Rock while watching the sky)
*Nala: The Pride Lands must be at peace. Everything the light touches connect to us. *see a portal open up as Skipper emerges* Hey!
*Skipper: Hey there Nala! We got a lesson to learn about in the Pride Lands.
*Nala: Hi Skipper! Bet you're here for one of these lessons about veterans, huh?
*Skipper: I'm right on time cause, I got a class to teach.
*Nala: The world really inspire us to protect our families and praise all the men and women who serve in the armies and sacrifice their lives to save the worlds, known as veterans.
*Skipper: They're courageous and the most skilled people on the countries. You know, we're getting tired of the seals getting all the good missions and what about us penguins?!
*Nala: I'm also getting tired of hyenas succeeding on hunting every other animal. As a matter of fact, I've got a top secret mission that's perfect for the penguins.
*Skipper: Ooh, what is it?
*Nala: *hold the files to Skipper* These are the files you need to learn to your rookies, Timon and Pumbaa at the jungle oasis. Teach them with courage in wake of Memorial Day coming up.
*Skipper: Thank you Queen Nala. I'll be happy to give you a call once we get everything settled and throw some hoops in the basket.
*Nala: Well good luck Skipper. King Simba is counting on you and know you can do it along with the animals of the Pride Lands.
*Skipper: Off to teaching with the students! *salute and jump off the peak with some crashes* Ouch! I can fix that!
*Nala: Great. Now I can help Rafiki with some errands at the tree. *walk off* Hey-a Zazu!
*Zazu: *fly* Keep up the good work, Nala!
(Meanwhile at the Jungle Oasis, Timon and Pumbaa are chilling while eating some grubs while the penguins do some push-ups in the middle of training)
*Timon: *eat a grub and smell some grubs* Oh Pumbaa. Don't you love the smell of grubs in the morning?
*Pumbaa: *crunch up some grubs* I sure do love grubs. They are yummy in a warthog's tummy.
*Timon: We also say the same thing about fruits.
*Pumbaa: Like eating watermelons.
*Timon: Ooh, look at the penguins doing some push-ups. They sure do love a good exercise, don't they?
*Pumbaa: All they do is train like soldiers.
*Kowalski: *do push-ups with the penguins* One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
*Rico: Push-ups!
*Private: Man, I'm strong, like a man!
*Kowalski: Good job everyone. Skipper is gonna be so proud when he hear this.
*Rico: *feel his fins* Grr. Ahh. Ooh.
*Private: Grunting like a real man.
*Skipper: *show up* Timon and Pumbaa!
*Timon: Hey-a. Welcome back Skipper. Here on our crossover play date while we do the honors while your friends are training for their secret agents act for the North Wind, eh?
*Pumbaa: Do you wanna eat some fruit salad for breakfast?
*Skipper: Thank you for the offer, but no thank you. We have a lesson Nala gave us for all of us to learn today.
*Timon: Show us.
*Skipper: If you say, please.
*Pumbaa: Please. *he, Timon and everyone read the files from Skipper and amazed* Oh. My. Grubs.
*Timon: I feel so emotional right now.
*Skipper: Guess we have an important lesson to learn about Memorial Day today, huh?
*Timon: Attention all penguins! Front and center. Face this way!
*Kowalski: *he and his friends face toward the gang* Yes sir!
*Rico: Ea ah.
*Private: Ah, school lessons. What are we gonna learn about.
*Pumbaa: Wait 'til Skipper announce something secret.
*Skipper: Today my friends. We are going to learn about the actions and history of Memorial Day!
*Kowalski! Whoa! Another lesson about veterans, huh? We haven't learn one of these topics since 2014.
*Rico: Ooh ah.
*Private: Ooh, Memorial Day. I hope the veterans are excited for what they have to offer.
*Skipper: Shh. Quiet Private. This is going to be emotional and you should remain silence at all times while we speak.
*Private: Um, ok. No time to speak.
*Timon: *clears throat* Ahem! Thank you all for coming. I hope you guys enjoy what we have to offer on our Memorial Day lesson.
*Pumbaa: We honor our heroes who sacrifice to protect the countries, just like in Veterans Day.
*Skipper: *hold the files* Our good work have proven us with some tasty Intel- *Rico eat his files* Rico!
*Private: Not again.
*Kowalski: Oh Rico. We talked about this last class.
*Timon: Does he always have to eat everything like it's food?
*Pumbaa: He's the same guy that ate my burrito salad last May!
*Skipper: Everyone calm down! I can handle this! Boys, let's get to work! *he and the boys hold Rico and put him on the lamp as Rico glows with the file on his belly* Eureka.
*Private: What does it says?
*Skipper: It look like Operation: Got Your Six is a go!
*Private: Operation: Got Your Six? We already did that the other day.
*Skipper: Well, we're gonna do it again in a new version with our folks from the jungle.
*Timon: I'm right here.
*Pumbaa: What about it?
*Skipper: *explain with 2D cartoon scenes* Military slang.
*Pilot: *ride a jet* Moonboy, I've got your six.
*Skipper: 12 being forward. Six is behind you.
*Timon: Got Your Six means taking care of each other.
*Skipper: Exact A-Munda. *turn off the light bulb with Rico landing on the floor*
*Timon: Ooh, it's like Safety Smart, right Pumbaa?
*Pumbaa: No doubt about it.
*Skipper: Now let's light the fuse on this mission and battle a few windows.
*Timon: *break a window sample* Boom!
*Skipper: Not the exact of window, Timon!
*Timon: Sorry.
*Pumbaa: Unleash a real window, boys!
*Skipper: *use his tech to open up a window screen and bring up some characters on the screen* Boys. This is Faction Jackson and Truthie McRuthie.
*Timon: Ooh, 2D cartoon characters, ah? It's like watching a Saturday Morning Cartoon featuring them on Disney Channel.
*Private: Ooh! I remember them.
*Kowalski: Good old lesson of videos to learn.
*Rico: Ya ya ya.
*Timon: Human soldiers, huh?
*Pumbaa: The type of people that serve in the armies.
*Skipper: Positive ID! Timon.
*Timon: These guys represent the truth and facts about our servicemen and women in the army and USA.
*Skipper: Bingo!
*Timon: Yes!
*Pumbaa: You're on a roll, buddy.
*Private: *see Smythie show up by burshing his teeth in front of two soldiers* And meet Smythie Mythie! He show us all the good ideas on what soldiers and veterans have to offer.
*Skipper: Private!
*Timon: Eh, boy.
*Pumbaa: Way to spoil a perfect scene for everyone else in this school lesson!
*Skipper: *see Smythie cover himself with a towel as the words on Smythie's name breaks* This Jelly Bean Jarhead represent all the wrong ideas some people have thought about the military.
*Kowalski: Right or wrong, you're out!
*Rico: Pssst!
*Timon: *scared* Yikes.
*Pumbaa: At least, I'm not dumb as a hyena or cape dog.
*Skipper: Alright. My friends, what is Memorial Day? Anyone? You? You there? Nobody?
*Private: I got it! *show Smythie caring for a dog and prasing some cats and hamsters as a doctor* Memorial Day is a holiday where people remember their animals that they love.
*Skipper: *slide the screen to soldiers* Private! I said Memorial Day! Not Animal Caring Day! What part of the lesson don't you understand?!
*Private: Uh oh.
*Timon: *see a eagle attacking Smythie on the screen* He's like me when I'm dumb.
*Pumbaa: Like you, he gotta pay attention more.
*Timon: Hey, I always pay attention to the basics.
*Pumbaa: Shh. Watch.
*Skipper: Next time you fail, you lose a point!
*Private: Zoinks! I don't wanna lose a point.
*Skipper: Okay. So pay attention like a man! *show a scene of a calender of where the holiday is set in and people giving out flowers to the soldiers and saluting the lost ones in the graves to remember* Memorial Day is a holiday for all the men and women who served in the United States Armed Forces. Some sacrifice their lives to save others and honors and mourn the loss ones of the U.S. military personnel forces. The holiday is also considered the unofficial beginning of summer in the United States.
*Pumbaa: *see some soldiers saving lives and shooting against tanks* They saved lives and served all the goods for what the country have to care for and pay respects.
*Skipper: Bingo! You are correct!
*Pumbaa: Hakuna Matata! I never expect to be a master of the learnings of histories in all the holidays in the world. *show his USA stitcker on his butt* I am proud to be a warthog and a American at the same time while raised in the Pride Lands where the lion kings live. *also show his Mickey Mouse bandage under his USA stittcker* This is also my bandage of the mascot of the Walt Disney Company. *cover his bandage with his USA stitcker* He he.
*Skipper: Preciesly, Pumbaa-wumbaa. What happens when they finish their tour of duty?
*Private: *see Smythie come home with a bunch of sweets and kisses from his grandpa and grandma* When they come home, they deserve a whole bunch of candies like doughnuts and cupcakes and kisses from the grandpas and grandmas!
*Skipper: That sound adorable, Private. You're wrong! *take off Private's USA stitcker off his butt*
*Pumbaa: *immitate a wrong sound* Eeh! Wrong! Try again.
*Timon: Try to be more spefitic when you're telling the truth more.
*Private: *embarrassed* Sorry.
*Skipper: Good. Does anyone have a answer?
*Kowalski: *see some soldiers serving in the army, training in the ground, working in college, teaching in school, helping some people come out of the buildings from the fires, save the cats from the trees and give them to the kids, getting badges from the presidents, working on the computer in a office and getting promoted in the White House with praise* Sir, veterans and soldiers continue to serve the country when they come home and spend time with families. Some to go college, some work in jobs and all of them are eager to help in the community like saving animals and cleaning out fires in buildings.
*Timon: Wow, that's a big affirmative there, Kowalski.
*Pumbaa: If you know better, then a veteran should ask a person some questions about their experiences.
*Kowalski: *see the soldiers tell stories in front of the people in the library* They may have some cool stories of courage, camaraderia, exotic, and excelsior!
*Skipper: Great answers you guys. I'm impressed.
*Private: *see Smythie as a pirate fighting against the pirates and beat each other up* When the pirates come to invade, the soldiers are always here to fight and save the countries.
*Skipper: That sound like a bad old story from the 1450s, but wrong! *take off Private's eagle stitcker off his butt, revealing his Shrek, Fiona and Donkey bandage*
*Private: Aah!
*Timon: Eek! No more protections of boo-boos.
*Pumbaa: One more wrong and you're out! *immitate and cut* Eh!
*Private: Sorry!
*Skipper: Pay attention, mister!
*Timon: Jeez, who cover their bandages on their butts with pro-country stitckers?
*Pumbaa: You know I do.
*Timon: Very funny, Captain Obvious.
*Pumbaa: *make a awkward face* You don't say.
*Skipper: *see the soldiers put some flags and salute by cherishing with a parade in town* When it's time to remember the soldiers, they put up flags to remember the fallen and loved ones. They also host a parade for them in celebration of serving in the U.S. military and honoring the heroes of the country.
*Kowalski: Like on Veterans Day.
*Skipper: Close.
*Pumbaa: *see the color guard watching the people walk in the buildings* You also got the color guard watching and saluting at you at all times.
*Timon: Correct.
*Private: *see Smythie building a statue of himself and salute* Ooh, they can even build a big statue of a somebody like me and honor among all heroes in the lands.
*Skipper: In your dreams. Wrong again! *take off Private's Shrek's bandage*
*Private: *shred a tear* Ooh.
*Pumbaa: Uh oh. You have no more boo-boos. Game over man!
*Private: What?!
*Timon: Ooh, ouch. This is not going to end well on a bad sight over a wrong answer.
*Kowalski: Oh snap.
*Rico: Wah wah wahhhhh.
*Skipper: Private, pay close attention. What skills do the men and women in the armies offer in their community?
*Private: *see Smythie tying his shoelaces and get trapped on a chair, make his bed and spin a coin to break a ceiling and make a soldier complain while hearing a complaint by covering his ears by opening up and close* Probably tie their boots with a lot of laces. Make a nice bed so tight they could put in a tooth underneath a pillow for the tooth fairy to come to give you a dollar money! If you fail at your test, they yell at you for the purposes you done wrong.
*Skipper: Wrong! Now give me five push-ups Private!
*Private: *do push-ups* One, two, three, four, five! Ooh, I can't do it.
*Skipper: That's for babies! Act like a real soldier, not like a baby!
*Timon: Boy, will people get punished with exercises if you fail?
*Pumbaa: Most likely yes.
*Timon: And you try again with more lives, like playing a video game.
*Pumbaa: You don't need to ask.
*Skipper: Who's talking? *look at Timon* Timon! Give me a good veterans set!
*Timon: Jeez, are we doing a staring contest here?
*Skipper: *walk close to Timon* Answer!
*Timon: *talk fast* They have good leadership skills, they serve with great power with problem solving, show love and care with respect and act like a lot of positives in their hearts to the kings and queens of the lands! They also learn a lot of new words when things go wrong!
*Skipper: *see a scene with Smythie complaining while cleaning the toilet in front of a soldier* Oh really?
*Timon: *talk clearly* Am I wrong?
*Skipper: No. *slap Timon* Good try.
*Timon: Thanks.
*Pumbaa: You got it and it hurts.
*Skipper: Let's leave it to the teams working and get with the motto, shall we? The fact is, the skills the veterans and army people learn in their service pay off everywhere.
*Private: Like bills and taxes!
*Pumbaa: *see some scenes of what soldiers and veterans can do* Veterans could be doctors, firefighters, artists, police officers, cashiers, janitors, teachers and even presidents.
*Timon: Like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln!
*Skipper: Correct-o. Private, you have a answer?
*Private: *see Smythie holding some pillows and dropping them on the ground as well crashing with a bunch of books* Veterans, teach us how to get each other six, but we get each other's back, so I guess we live by the same code!
*Timon: By cybersecurity?
*Pumbaa: Like leaks for upcoming media?
*Skipper: You ain't a hacker. Kowalski, give me an answer.
*Kowalski: Despite All Odds, it appears Private make sense. I have a thought, what if one of us was made a general and could order everyone to learn about Operation: Got Your Six.
*Timon: A general?
*Pumbaa: Sound like a promotion to me.
*Skipper: I love it! Who's up for the general role. Someone innocent, not easily corrupted. With the power wouldn't go to their head.
*Timon: Well that cuts me out by the hand.
*Pumbaa: Could have use jet packs to fly.
*Kowalski: *hear a noise* What's that noise?
*Rico: Eh?
*Private: *hold a rubberband and move it* Ooh, spring-gee.
*Skipper: Ah, Private. Ready to take the role of a general?
*Private: Ooh, yes!
*Skipper: Then act like one and teach us the wisdoms!
*Private: Alright! *put on some general clothes and teach everyone* Alright class! Listen up! *see some scenes of soldiers teaching, working and texting with Smythie texting and crashing on a hole while being grabbed by a firefighter and hugging him as a cat shows up* Since I've been promoted to be your new general, I heareby order that all of us spread the news about Operation: Got Your Six. I want everyone, everywhere, to learn how great our men and women served in the U.S armies are.
*Timon: That was... great!
*Pumbaa: Emotional. *cry with Timon*
*Kowalski: Who's crying?
*Skipper: Iceberg flippers. Does anyone need a tissue?
*Rico: *drink some water* Ah.
*Private: Wait! I'm not finish! I also pronounced this unit drop and give me 100 push-ups!
*Skipper: What?!
*Kowalski: Are you crazy?! 100? That's too much!
*Rico: Ah!
*Timon: 100? I'm getting sentry duty vibes back at the colony.
*Pumbaa: I'm gonna pass gas when I workout. I can't do it!
*Private: Everyone do push-ups, now! *make everyone do push-ups*
*Timon and Pumbaa: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
*Kowalski: Skipper, out of all the people you choose to be general, why chose the weak one?
*Skipper: Zit up. Keep counting. I'm getting distracted.
*Rico: Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
*Private: Move it soldiers. We've got a long day ahead of our schedule of working on our duties, chores and errands!
*Everyone: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
*Private: I can't hear you.
*Everyone: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
*Private: Bingo-dingo!
*Timon: And done.
*Pumbaa: How did we do, General Private?
*Private: Amazing! Now let's go workout and show how worthy we are to the king of the Pride Lands.
*Skipper: Hope the Great Kings of the Past know that we're doing business.
*Kowalski: Alex would have loved this lesson if he was here right now.
*Rico: Ya ya ya.
*Private: Time to exerise!
(Timon, Pumbaa, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private begin their workout session as they lift some weights, run on the treadmill, pulling rocks on a rope, climbing up the mountain, smashing wood, breaking bricks, lifting cubes, punching sandbags, holding big rocks and show their muscles, proving how strong these guys are on the mirror)
*Timon: *show some muscles* Ah yeah. Feeling strong!
*Pumbaa: *feel strong* I got the muscles here!
*Skipper: Oh yeah. Now who's ready to chop down some fish?
*Kowalski: Hope we can take down some hyenas and squids easily.
*Rico: *grunt* Grrrr.
*Private: Now that's the solider looking type everyone wanted.
*Timon: That's Safety Smart to ya!
*Pumbaa: What a good lesson about veterans and Memorial Day.
*Skipper: *see some soldiers and Smythie saluting* Always show your innocence and prove best how a soldier can be to give respect to others and help people in need of help.
*Kowalski: Give respect to give respect. Remember your friends, your families, your doctors, your nurses, your teachers, your surroundings, and your co-workers.
*Rico: Ya ya ya.
*Private: We're not here to be average, we're here to be AWESOME! SAY AWESOME!
*Everyone: AWESOME!
*Private: I can't hear you.
*Everyone: AWESOME!
*Timon: We take action. We are wonderful. We are enthusiastic. We are super. We are optimistic. We are marvelous.
*Pumbaa: And we energize!
*Private: Everyone together! I am awesome!
*Everyone: I AM AWESOME!
*Timon: Thank you for watching and reading our basics and learning what Memorial Day is like, including the veterans.
*Skipper: Thanks GotYour6 for the flies to learn about how we save lives and Joining Forces by taking action to serve America's Military Families and Services!
*Kowalski: Does everyone in the universe need to be in the army?
*Skipper: Not quite. We work as agents here while these two work as janitors.
*Timon: Agents!
*Skipper: Agents, whatever. I thought you guys were like servants of the king or something.
*Pumbaa: Babysitters and admins of the rock.
*Skipper: Be sure to be safety smart and be a citizen today.
*Private: Thank you for watching us.
*Timon: Until then, no worries. For the rest of your days.
*Pumbaa: Hakuna Matata! *wink eye*
