Fuli's New Family/Transcript

Fade to a canyon. A herd of cape buffalo flees an oncoming mudslide.
Kion 	[from offscreen] Lion Guard! [Cut to the Lion Guard running through the canyon.] Ono's found dry ground. We gotta round up the buffalo and guide them over there fast!
Fuli 	Nobody does fast better than me. Huwezi! [Fuli charges toward the cape buffalo, outpacing her companions. She sidles up to the cape buffalo herd.] This way, everybody! Follow me!
 	Fuli charges away, and the cape buffalo follow.
Cape buffalo 	*bleat*
Fuli 	This way! [Fuli leads the cape buffalo out of the canyon.] *chuckles* That's it.
 	A cape buffalo falls in the mud. Kion, who is running alongside the cape buffalo herd, does an about-face.
Kion 	*grunts*
 	Cut to the cape buffalo stuck in the mud.
Cape buffalo 	*bellows*
Kion 	Beshte! Bunga! That last one's yours!
Beshte 	You got it, Kion!
 	Beshte circles the cape buffalo and comes at it from behind.
Cape buffalo 	*bellows*
 	Beshte shoves at the cape buffalo from behind.
Beshte 	*grunts*
 	Bunga clambers onto the cape buffalo's back and hangs on by its horns.
Bunga 	Come on! [Bunga tugs on the cape buffalo's horns.] Let's go, buffalo!
Beshte 	[straining] Twende kiboko!
 	Beshte shoves the cape buffalo free, and Bunga flies off its horns.
Bunga 	Whoa! [Bunga disappears into a bush.] *grunts*
Ushari 	[from offscreen] *hisses*
Bunga 	[from offscreen] *screams* [Bunga flies out of the bush, holding his rear.] Yowch!
 	Kion approaches Bunga.
Kion 	Bunga, are you okay?
 	Bunga examines his rear.
Bunga 	Something bit me. [Ushari approaches, and Bunga points at him.] And it was him.
Ushari 	*hisses*
Ono 	We did it, Kion! [Ono lands next to Bunga and Kion, while Beshte and Fuli approach on the ground.] The buffalo are all safe and...sound? [Ono flinches at the sight of Ushari.] Hapana! Egyptian cobra! Whatever you do, don't let him bite you.
Bunga 	He already did.
Beshte, Fuli, Kion, and Ono 	*gasp*
Ono 	Oh, no!
 	Beshte walks toward Ushari.
Beshte 	Hey, Ushari? Why did you do that?
Ushari 	He landed on my head, Beshte. [hissing] He's lucky I only bit him once!
 	Ushari slithers back into the bush.
Bunga 	He's got a point. [Bunga examines his rear.] Wonder if he left a mark.
Ono 	Bunga! Bunga! [Ono rushes up to Bunga and grabs him by the shoulders.] You don't understand! That snake, his bite is venomous.
Bunga 	You mean it did leave a mark?
Ono 	I mean, his bite is [Ono spreads his wings.] poison!
Beshte 	*gasps*
 	The Lion Guard stares at Bunga in horror.
Bunga 	Poison? That's not good. That's bad. That means... That means I'm a goner! *moans*
 	Bunga stumbles backward into Kion.
Ono 	The venom's hit his system! [Ono begins fanning Bunga.] We need to suck the poison out!
Bunga 	Okay, if you think it'll help!
 	Bunga puts his rear in Ono's face. Beshte, Fuli, Kion, and Ono stare in disgust.
Beshte 	Ugh...
Fuli 	Really?
Ono 	Maybe not.
Kion 	I have a better idea. We'll take him to Rafiki. Ono, have Timon and Pumbaa meet us at Rafiki's tree.
 	Ono salutes Kion.
Ono 	Affirmative!
 	Ono flies offscreen.
Kion 	Hang in there, Bunga. Rafiki will know what to do.
 	Cut to a wide shot of Rafiki's tree. The Lion Guard rushes toward it, with Bunga on Beshte's back. Ono approaches on the other side with Timon and Pumbaa.
Bunga 	*moans*
Timon 	*cries* [The Lion Guard, Timon, and Pumbaa stop at the base of Rafiki's tree. Timon hops into Pumbaa's mane.] Bunga! The bird said a snake bit ya on the bottom.
Pumbaa 	Oh! Say it ain't so!
Bunga 	*moans* It's so.
Timon and Pumbaa 	*gasp* *sob*
Kion 	Timon, Pumbaa, [Kion holds up a paw.] calm down. I'm sure Rafiki...
Timon 	Rafiki? What's he gonna do?
 	Rafiki, who is holding some fruit, swings in on a vine from behind his tree.
Rafiki 	Who, me? *laughs* [Rafiki sits, then holds up a fruit.] Nothing!
Pumbaa 	*chuckles* Thanks, Rafiki! That's great. [realizing] Nothing?
 	Rafiki cracks his fruit on a nearby rock. Kion approaches him.
Kion 	Rafiki, [Rafiki tears the fruit in two.] Bunga was bitten by a poisonous snake.
 	Bunga slides down Beshte's back.
Bunga 	*moans* [Bunga stumbles toward Rafiki, holding his forehead.] You gotta help me. I can't have much time left. [Bunga pauses next to Rafiki, who continues to examine his fruit.] I think this is the end. [Bunga waves dramatically.] Goodbye, everyone. Hello, Circle of Life.
 	Bunga falls over dramatically and grabs a nearby flower to hold on his chest.
Kion 	Bunga! [Kion runs toward Bunga.] Bunga!
 	Timon hugs Pumbaa, who holds him.
Timon and Pumbaa 	*sob*
Rafiki 	Eh, Bunga? Honey badgers like you, you're immune to snake bites.
 	Bunga sits up abruptly.
Bunga 	What? Immune?
 	Timon and Pumbaa stop crying.
Pumbaa 	[deadpan] What?
Bunga 	I thought I was a goner, but this is even worse. [Bunga tears his flower in half.] I'm immune! [after a beat] What's immune?
 	Ono walks toward Bunga.
Ono 	If you're immune to something, it can't hurt you.
Bunga 	So, if I'm immune to snake bites, they can't hurt me? [Ono nods. Bunga leaps to his feet.] Great! [Bunga tosses the two pieces of his flower aside.] Let's go, guys!
Fuli 	Are you kidding me? We were worried about you, and you were faking it?
Bunga 	Uh, not exactly.
 	Fuli thrusts her head at Bunga.
Fuli 	I should bite you myself.
 	Kion steps in-between Bunga and Fuli.
Kion 	Easy, Fuli. Bunga, we just thought you were really hurt.
Bunga 	Me too.
 	Timon approaches and lifts a finger into the air.
Timon 	But he's not. [Timon rubs Bunga's shoulder.] He's fine. So, let's celebrate!
Pumbaa 	Yeah! A feast at Hakuna Matata Falls. And everyone's invited!
Kion 	Thanks, Pumbaa. Sounds great. But I have to meet my family for dinner.
Beshte 	Me too.
Ono 	Eh, the flock gets jittery when I don't show up for mealtime.
Pumbaa 	How 'bout you, Fuli? Are you meeting your cheetah family?
Fuli 	Nah. I'll just go hunt by myself.
Pumbaa 	By yourself? All alone? That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. [Beshte, Kion, and Ono exchange uncertain glances.] Isn't that the saddest thing you've ever heard?
Timon 	You're right, Pumbaa. [Timon clasps his hands.] It is! Friends don't let friends eat alone.
Fuli 	It's not like that. Girl cheetahs hunt alone. It's what we do.
Timon 	Not this girl cheetah. [Timon points at Fuli.] Not today. [Timon approaches Fuli and points at her.] You're eating with [Timon jerks a thumb at himself.] us, and I'm not taking no for an answer.
Fuli 	But I...
 	Timon wags a finger at Fuli.
Timon 	Ah, ah, ah. Not another word. I insist. [Timon gestures in front of him.] After you.
Fuli 	*sighs* [Fuli rolls her eyes.] Okay.
 	Bunga, Fuli, Timon, and Pumbaa walk away.
Ono 	Is what Timon said true? Do friends not let friends eat alone?
Beshte 	If it is true, we haven't been very good friends to Fuli.
Kion 	We need to be sure Fuli knows we're here for her.
Ono 	How do we do that?
Kion 	From now on, if any of us sees Fuli all alone, we'll invite her to join us in whatever we're doing.
Beshte 	Poa. Good idea, Kion. Then Fuli will know we're her friends.
 	Cut to Hakuna Matata Falls. Timon carries a leaf full of grubs toward Bunga, Fuli, and Pumbaa.
Timon 	Dinner is served.
 	Timon proffers the leaf full of grubs at the camera.
Pumbaa 	Oh, they're slimy yet satisfying.
 	Bunga grabs a grub from the pile and tosses it into his mouth.
Bunga 	*munches*
 	Fuli recoils.
Fuli 	Ugh!
Bunga 	Mmm! The slime helps them go down [Bunga makes a wave motion with one arm.] smooth!
Fuli 	Uh, thanks, but I'm not really hungry.
 	Fuli walks away.
Timon 	Of course. How rude of me. How can you dive into a meal without a little dinner conversation?
 	Timon throws the leaf full of grubs into Pumbaa's mouth.
Pumbaa 	*munches* Mmm!
 	Cut to Fuli cleaning herself. Timon climbs onto a nearby rock.
Timon 	So, how are things on your end of the food chain?
Fuli 	Um... Good?
Timon 	Good, good. [Timon pats Fuli's cheek. His face takes on a shocked expression.] Oh, wow. You are so soft. [Timon grabs Fuli by the cheeks.] Do you know how soft you are?
 	Timon hugs Fuli's face and begins to rub her.
Fuli 	I, uh, don't really love having my fur touched.
Timon 	Pumbaa. Feel this fur. [Fuli looks annoyed as Timon continues to rub her.] You could drown in fur like this.
Pumbaa 	Oh, oh, I wanna feel! [Pumbaa rubs against Fuli.] Mmm. Cuddly! [Timon hugs the top of Fuli's head.] Oh. *mutters* Bunga, you try. [after a beat] Uh, where'd he go?
Timon 	Oh, I'm sure he's around somewhere.
 	Cut to Bunga standing next to a crocodile.
Bunga 	Right here! Check it out! Open wide!
 	Bunga opens the crocodile's mouth.
Crocodile 	Ah...
 	Bunga steps into the crocodile's mouth.
Bunga 	Ah. [Bunga jumps back and forth excitedly on the crocodile's tongue.] Look at me! I'm immune! Whoo!
 	Cut to Fuli, Timon, and Pumbaa staring at Bunga in horror.
Fuli 	Bunga!
 	Fuli dashes for Bunga and pulls him out of the crocodile's mouth, just before its jaws clamp shut. She pauses, with Bunga dangling from her jaws.
Bunga 	What ya doing, Fuli?
Fuli 	[muffled, angrily] Saving your life.
Bunga 	But you heard Rafiki. I'm immune. I can't be hurt. I could've stayed in that croc's mouth all day! [Fuli drops Bunga.] *grunts*
Fuli 	Gah! Fine. Go get eaten if you want to. I'm out of here.
 	Fuli runs offscreen. Timon and Pumbaa approach Bunga, with Timon holding the leaf full of grubs.
Timon 	Bunga! Bubby! Want some more bugs? They're delicious.
Bunga 	Are they poisonous?
Pumbaa 	Of course not!
Bunga 	[disappointed] Where's the fun in that?
 	Bunga walks away.
Timon 	*sighs* Kids. [Timon eats a grub.] *munches*
 	Cut to a shot of a gazelle grazing in some tall grass. The camera pans out to reveal Fuli stalking it. Cut to Ono flying overhead. His vision flickers.
Ono 	Hapana! [Through Ono's vision, we see Fuli stalking the gazelle.] Fuli's all alone. [Ono descends.] Hey, Fuli! Fuli!
 	The gazelle runs away.
Fuli 	[from offscreen] *gasps* [Fuli's head emerges from the tall grass.] Ono! What's up? Is there trouble?
 	Fuli rushes up to Ono as he lands on the ground.
Ono 	Trouble? [Ono looks around.] Oh. [awkwardly] Uh, no.
Fuli 	[annoyed] Ono, I was hunting.
Ono 	Hunting? That's perfect. I was on my way to hunt with the other egrets. [Ono flaps in place in front of Fuli.] You should join us.
Fuli 	Okay. Nothing like a good hunt.
 	Cut to flies buzzing around some elephants.
Elephants 	*trumpet*
 	The camera pans down to show egrets hopping around the legs of the elephants.
Egrets 	*squawk*
 	Fuli walks through the elephants, looking around.
Fuli 	[to herself] And this is nothing like a good hunt.
 	Ono emerges from behind an elephant, hopping along through the mud.
Ono 	What? A good hunt? Yeah, it's great.
Fuli 	Ugh, what are we doing here, Ono? Do egrets eat elephants?
Ono 	No! We eat the bugs kicked up by the elephants' feet. *chuckles*
Fuli 	Bugs? [Fuli pauses.] Again? What is with everyone eating bugs? [An elephant splashes Fuli with a sticky brown substance.] *grunts* [Fuli sits.] Ugh.
Ono 	What's wrong, Fuli? [Ono approaches Fuli.] Why'd you stop?
Fuli 	Ono, I'm covered in mud!
 	Ono hops closer to Fuli and sniffs her.
Ono 	Oh, that's not mud. Come on!
 	Fuli looks down at herself in horror.
Fuli 	*gasps* Ugh. Gross.
 	Cut to a gazelle standing in some tall grass. Fuli stalks onscreen.
Beshte 	[from offscreen] Fuli! Jambo!
 	The gazelle runs away.
Fuli 	*groans* Beshte?
 	Cut to Beshte walking toward Fuli.
Beshte 	Hey! I couldn't help but notice you're all by yourself.
Fuli 	So?
Beshte 	So, I thought you might want to join me for a swim. You can meet my whole hippo pod.
 	Beshte walks behind Fuli and pushes her forward with his snout.
Fuli 	*groans* [Cut to a shot of Fuli's perspective, where a watering hole full of hippopotamuses looms closer and closer. Fuli pulls away from Beshte and sits in front of him.] It's okay. I'm not a real fan of water.
Beshte 	It's not that bad once you get used to it. What do you say?
 	Fuli glances over one shoulder at the watering hole.
Hippopotamuses 	*snort*
 	Fuli looks back at Beshte, who smiles.
Fuli 	*sighs* [Fuli turns and walks resignedly toward the watering hole. Beshte follows her.] Well, maybe just my paws.
Beshte 	That's the way! Yeah!
 	Fuli hops onto a rock at the edge of the watering hole. As she starts to dip a paw in, Beshte approaches from behind and kicks the rock, which knocks Fuli into the water.
Fuli 	Whoa!
Beshte 	*gasps*
 	The hippopotamuses look up.
Hippopotamuses 	*snort*
Beshte 	Whoops! [Beshte searches the water.] Fuli? Fuli?
 	Bubbles form on the water's surface. A moment later, Fuli emerges on a hippopotamus' back.
Fuli 	*coughs* *sighs*
Beshte 	*gasps*
Fuli 	[annoyed] Okay. So I'm in the water. Just like a hippo.
Beshte 	Well, uh, how do you like it?
 	Fuli hops onto the shore.
Fuli 	It's great. [Fuli shakes herself, splattering Beshte with water.] *chuckles* Maybe we can do it again. [pointedly] Some other time.
Beshte 	Uh, okay, Fuli. [Fuli runs offscreen.] *sighs* Some other time.
 	Cut to a wide shot of Pride Rock. Kion lounges on a rock, while Bunga bounces a porcupine on his head.
Bunga 	But I gotta tell you, being immune? It's un-Bunga-lievable! Nothing hurts! Not even bouncing a porcupine on my head.
Kion 	Wow. I guess you can do that with thick skin like yours.
Bunga 	Pfft! Kion! [The camera zooms in on Fuli stalking a gazelle behind Bunga.] Skin has nothing to do with it. [Kion notices Fuli.] I'm immune! 98, 99...
 	Kion stands.
Kion 	There she is!
 	The porcupine falls onto the ground.
Porcupine 	Ow!
Bunga 	Ah. Sorry, guy.
Kion 	Fuli!
Gazelle 	*snorts*
 	The gazelle runs away.
Fuli 	*groans* [Fuli approaches Bunga and Kion.] Hi, guys.
Kion 	Hey! Sorry about the gazelle. [Kion strikes a pose.] But if you're up for a hunt, [Kion hops down from his rock.] you could hunt with me and my family.
Fuli 	[with increasing excitement] Hunting? With the royal family? Yeah! Thanks, Kion. Asante!
Kion 	Hakuna matata! [Bunga approaches.] You in, Bunga?
Bunga 	Nah, I'm gonna stay here and enjoy bein' immune.
 	Bunga lifts his arms into the air.
Kion 	Okay. See you later.
 	Fuli and Kion walk away.
Fuli 	Bye, Bunga.
 	Bunga waves.
Bunga 	Yeah, later. [Bunga rubs his hands together and approaches the porcupine.] Now, back to bouncing.
 	The porcupine bounces away from Bunga.
Porcupine 	Huh-uh! Ninety-nine bounces is enough for me. Why don't you go play in a volcano?
Bunga 	Play in a volcano? That's a great idea!
 	The porcupine stares in shock as Bunga walks away.
Porcupine 	No! It's a bad idea! I was kidding!
 	Cut to a gazelle grazing in a grassy field. Atop a nearby hill, Nala, Kiara, Kion, Fuli, Tiifu, and Zuri emerge.
Nala 	Okay, Kiara, you lead the hunt.
 	Kiara looks over one shoulder at Tiifu and Zuri.
Kiara 	You girls ready?
Tiifu 	I'm ready if you are, Kiara. You're our leader. *giggles*
 	Zuri rolls her eyes.
Zuri 	*sighs* Can we just get this over with?
Kiara 	Come on, Zuri. [Kiara walks away.] Focus.
Tiifu 	Ooh, [Tiifu puts a paw on Zuri's shoulder.] Kiara's gonna be so impressed with how I hunt those gazelles.
 	Zuri absently bats Tiifu's paw away.
Zuri 	[yawning] Uh-huh.
 	Tiifu strikes a pose, bouncing up and down.
Tiifu: 	Just wait 'till she sees what a tracky tracker and pouncy pouncer I can be.
Zuri 	[sarcastically] Yeah, that ought to wow her.
 	Nala smiles at Tiifu and Zuri.
Zuri 	[laughing] Ooh, Queen Nala's looking. [Zuri nudges Tiifu.] Act all excited and hunterish.
Tiifu 	*gasps* [Tiifu thinks for a moment, then walks past Fuli and Kion.] Growl!
 	Zuri follows Tiifu, rolling her eyes.
Fuli 	[in an undertone to Kion] Ugh. Do I seriously have to hunt with those two?
Kion 	Tiifu and Zuri? Sure. They're my sister's best friends. They're like family.
Kiara 	Ladies, follow me. [Kiara bounds down the hill. Tiifu follows, while Zuri rolls her eyes. Kiara jumps from hiding spot to hiding spot.] *grunts*
 	Tiifu follows Kiara, hiding as she goes, while Zuri strolls along nonchalantly. Fuli exchanges a glance with Kion, then bounds down the hill after Kiara. As she rushes toward Kiara, she bumps into Tiifu.
Tiifu 	*gasps* [Tiifu glares after Fuli. Fuli creeps up next to Kiara, who is in a stalking position. They exchange glances, then begin to creep up on the gazelle.] Who does she think she is? Hunting right beside the future queen.
Zuri 	*scoffs* Who cares? Hunting is so overrated. Let the cheetah hunt for us.
 	Kiara, then Fuli peeks out of the grass. They exchange glances.
Tiifu 	Don't cheetahs like to hunt alone? Why is Fuli all like, [Tiifu hugs Zuri close.] "Look at me. I'm Kiara's new bestie."?
Zuri 	*scoffs* I don't even like gazelle. Hyena food.
 	Cut to the gazelle standing obliviously.
Gazelle 	*munches*
 	The camera pans to show Fuli and Kiara crouched in the nearby grass.
Kiara 	Ready? *growls*
 	Fuli rushes out of the grass, while Kiara stays put.
Nala 	[from offscreen] And stop!
 	Mid-lunge, Fuli pauses and falls to the ground.
Fuli 	*groans* [The gazelle runs away.] *groans*
 	Kion, Tiifu, and Zuri bound up to Kiara, followed by Nala.
Nala 	Excellent tracking skills, Kiara! Really fantastic!
Kiara 	Thanks, Mom.
Fuli 	But the gazelle got away!
Nala 	Of course it did. We're still training for Kiara's first hunt. Come on, girls.
 	Nala walks away, and Kiara, Tiifu, and Zuri follow her.
Tiifu 	Bye, Fuli!
 	Kion starts to follow Nala, but Fuli grabs his tail in her teeth, halting him.
Fuli 	Hold up. You mean I don't get to eat? What's the point of hunting if I don't get to eat?
Kion 	You got to hang out with us. Isn't that better than hunting alone?
Fuli 	When I hunt alone, I get to eat. Except for today, [Fuli steps forward emphatically.] when someone in the Guard keeps stopping me! What's going on with you guys?
Kion 	We just thought you'd be happier with company.
Fuli 	Do I look happier?
 	Fuli glares at Kion. His ears droop.
Kion 	Not really.
Fuli  	*sighs* I like being alone, Kion. I enjoy it. And you know what? I've never wanted to be more alone than I do right now!
 	Fuli runs off.
Kion 	Fuli! [Kion sits.] *sighs* Sorry.
 	Cut to Bunga strolling toward the Outlands volcano.
Bunga 	Zuka zama. I'm immune. Zuka zama. Zum, zum, zum. [Bunga crosses a river of lava on stepping stones.] Zuka zama. I'm immune. Zuka zama. Zum, zum, zum. [Bunga strolls deeper into the volcano.] Ta-ta-ta! [Cut to Cheezi, who is sleeping on a nearby ledge. He looks up and notices Bunga crossing another river of lava.] Zuka zama. I'm immune. Zuka zama. Zum, zum, zum.
Cheezi 	*exclaims*
 	Cheezi darts offscreen. Cut to the inner chamber of the volcano, where Chungu is giving Janja a back rub, while the rest of the clan lounges around.
Chungu 	Scritchy-scratchy, scritchy-scratchy, scritchy-scratchy...
Janja 	Up a little. Ooh, yeah, to the right. Your other right, fur-brain.
 	Chungu pauses.
Chungu 	Ooh. [Chungu begins to rub Janja's back more aggressively.] Scritchy, scritchy, scritchy...
Janja 	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. [Janja begins thumping his foot.] That's the stuff.
Cheezi 	[from offscreen] Janja! Janja! [Cheezi rushes into the inner chamber.] You're not gonna believe this!
Janja 	What are you lookin' at?
Cheezi 	Dinner! [sinisterly] And it's being delivered. *cackles*
 	Cheezi runs off. Janja and Chungu follow. Cut to Bunga crossing a river of lava.
Bunga 	Zuka zama. I'm immune. [The camera pans out to show the hyenas watching Bunga.] Zuka zama. Zum, zum, zum. [Bunga hops onto a stepping stone, and a piece crumbles into the lava.] *yells* Ooh, ah, ah! Good thing I'm immune, or this would be a really bad idea. [Bunga jumps onto the opposite shore.] Hi-yah! [A geyser goes off in Bunga's face.] Ooh, that's warm. [Bunga collapses back on the geyser and lounges there.] Mmm. *giggles*
 	Cut to the hyenas staring at Bunga in shock.
Chungu 	I don't understand. That stuff is hot. Even I know not to do that.
Cheezi 	*cackles* Yeah! What's that honey badger thinking, huh?
Janja 	Who cares? Our dinner is cooking itself.
 	Cut to Fuli walking through the Pride Lands. She pauses on a ridge.
Fuli 	*sighs* The Guard always used to let me be by myself. What's gotten into them? [Fuli hops down the ridge and strides through a trio of giraffes.] I don't know why my friends don't understand. They can't deny that I know who I am. [Fuli walks away and falls into a hunter's crouch.] I love the hunt and the chase, [Fuli watches a herd of oryx run by.] the thrill of the race, [Fuli runs past the oryxes.] and doing it on my own. [Fuli does an about-face and runs away, with bees chasing her.] There's nothing wrong with being alone. [Cut to a flock of flamingos. Fuli emerges and strikes a pose.] I thought my friends already knew. To myself I must be true, [Fuli dashes through the flamingos, who scatter.] be true, be true! [Cut to Fuli striding through the Pride Lands.] I go my own way. [Fuli weaves in-between some elephants.] My call, every single day, no matter what they say. [Fuli pauses and turns back to face the elephants. They likewise pause and look back at her.] Yeah, I go my own way. My own way!
Elephants 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way!
Elephants 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way! My own way!
Elephants 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way!
Elephants 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way! [Fuli runs off, and the elephants continue walking. Hares scatter as Fuli races past. She runs past one hare.] You can try to run from me, yeah, go. But catch my eye, I'm faster than you know. [Fuli puts on a burst of speed. Cut to genets hopping through a tree. Below, Fuli strides past.] Don't need to run with the pack. [Fuli pauses.] I got my own back. [Fuli continues walking.] My life is what I make it, [Fuli strides underneath the genets' branch.] and I know where to take it. [Fuli pauses.] I thought my friends already knew. [Butterflies circle Fuli.] To myself I must be true, be true, be true! [Fuli climbs atop a large rock.] I go my own way. [Fuli hops down the rock, and several hyraxes watch her.] My call, every single day, [The hyraxes run off.] no matter what they say. [Fuli runs past two rows of grazing zebras.] Yeah, [The zebras briefly lift their heads as Fuli passes, then return to grazing.] I go my own way. [Fuli strides through a grove of trees.] My own way!
Chorus 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way!
Chorus 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way! [Fuli strides past a watering hole.] My own way!
Chorus 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way!
Chorus 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way! [Cut to tickbirds flying.] I thought my friends already knew. [The tickbirds circle Fuli.] Being myself is what I do, [Fuli runs off.] I do, [Fuli pauses.] I do! [Cut to Fuli running alongside a group of various animals.] I go my own way. My call, [Fuli outpaces the other animals.] every single day, no matter what they say. Yeah! I go my own way! My own way!
Chorus 	My way!
 	The camera pans out to reveal Fuli running alongside a cliff.
Fuli 	My own way!
Chorus 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way! My own way!
Chorus 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way!
Chorus 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way! My own way!
Chorus 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way!
Chorus 	My way!
Fuli 	My own way! [Fuli pauses on the edge of the cliff.] I go my own way!
 	Cut to Kion running through the savanna. He approaches Beshte and Ono.
Kion 	Hey, guys, have you seen Fuli?
Beshte 	Uh, not since I accidentally knocked her into the lake. She was kind of upset after that.
Ono 	She didn't seem happy hunting with my flock either.
Kion 	I asked her to hunt with my family too. But it didn't go so well.
Beshte 	Maybe we shouldn't have tried to stop her from being alone.
Kion 	[thoughtfully] Yeah. She said she likes it. Guess we were being better friends when we just let Fuli be Fuli.
Ono 	Hey! Let's find Fuli and tell her, from now on, we'll leave her alone!
Beshte 	Poa! Great idea!
Kion 	Lead the way, Ono.
 	Ono flies offscreen. Beshte and Kion follow. Cut to Bunga strolling through the Outlands volcano.
Bunga 	Zuka zama. I'm immune. Zuka zama. Zum, zum, zum. [Cut to a wide shot of Bunga, with the hyenas stalking him from behind.] Zuka zama. I'm immune. [The camera zooms out to reveal Janja's legs in front of Bunga.] Zuka zama. Zum, zum, zum.
 	Janja gets in Bunga's face, halting him.
Janja 	Hello, morsel.
 	Bunga shoves Janja away.
Bunga 	Move it, Janja! [Bunga points.] See that volcano up there? I'm gonna go play in it!
Janja 	I don't think you get it. We're gonna eat you.
Bunga 	[chuckling] You couldn't eat me if you tried. You know why? 'Cause I'm immune! [Bunga crosses his arms.] That's right! [voice echoing] Immune!
 	Cut to a wide shot of the Outlands volcano. The camera pans down to a patch of grass. Fuli's head emerges.
Fuli 	Bunga? In the Outlands? Oh. This can't be good.
 	Fuli takes off for the Outlands volcano. Cut to the hyenas surrounding Bunga.
Janja 	You're what?
Bunga 	Immune.
Chungu 	What's immune?
Cheezi 	I hope it's not contagious!
Janja 	Stuff it, fur-brains! It doesn't matter. Let's just eat him!
 	Janja braces to attack Bunga. Suddenly, Fuli drops in from overhead, landing on Cheezi.
Fuli 	Huwezi!
Cheezi 	*groans*
 	Fuli grabs Bunga and carries him away from the hyenas. They pause on the edge of a river of lava.
Bunga 	[annoyed] Again? [Bunga turns his back on Fuli and crosses his arms.] You always jump in just when things are getting fun.
Fuli 	Fun?
 	The ground cracks beneath Bunga and Fuli.
Bunga and Fuli 	Whoa!
 	The piece of land that Bunga and Fuli are standing on gets swept away by the lava.
Janja 	Come on, boys! [Janja takes off after Bunga and Fuli.] Follow that rock!
 	The hyenas, save Cheezi and Chungu, follow Janja.
Chungu 	Why do we always have to work for our food?
Cheezi 	Ain't no such thing as a free meal.
 	Cheezi and Chungu follow Janja. Cut to Bunga and Fuli being swept down the river of lava.
Bunga 	I take it back. This is even more fun. [Lava bubbles up in front of Bunga, and he falls backward onto Fuli.] Whoa! [Bunga feels Fuli's face.] Hey, Timon was right. You really [Bunga nuzzles into Fuli.] are soft.
Fuli 	*groans*
 	Cut to Ono sweeping over the Outlands. Kion emerges on a nearby rock.
Kion 	Any sign of Fuli?
 	Beshte approaches behind Kion.
Ono 	Not yet! [Ono's vision flickers, and he spots the hyenas chasing Bunga and Fuli along the river of lava.] Hapana! Fuli and Bunga are in trouble! We have to hurry!
 	Ono swoops away, and Beshte and Kion follow. Cut to Bunga and Fuli being swept down the river of lava, with the hyenas in hot pursuit.
Hyenas 	*growl*
 	A piece of rock falls off the piece of land that Bunga and Fuli are standing on.
Bunga 	*sniffs* Do you smell something burning?
 	Bunga turns around to reveal an ember on the tip of his tail.
Fuli 	*gasps*
Bunga 	Ow!
Fuli 	I got it.
 	Fuli flicks the ember off Bunga's tail.
Bunga 	That lava's hot. [Bunga recoils.] And it hurts!
Fuli 	Calm down. It's gone now.
Bunga 	But... But... This means... [Bunga shakes Fuli.] I'm not immune! [Another piece of rock falls off the piece of land that Bunga and Fuli are standing on. Bunga climbs on top of Fuli.] Whoa!
 	Cut to the hyenas waiting on either end of the lava river bank up ahead.
Janja 	A little bit further, and they're ours for the eatin'. Honey badger, with a side of cheetah.
Kion 	[from offscreen] 'Till the Pride Lands end...
 	Kion, Beshte, and Ono appear on the opposite bank.
Kion, Beshte, and Ono 	Lion Guard defend!
Hyenas 	*yelp*
 	Some hyenas run away, leaving only Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu. Bunga and Fuli drift past.
Fuli 	[straining] Are we glad to see you guys!
 	Ono flies alongside Bunga and Fuli.
Bunga 	Yeah! You won't believe it, but I'm not immune to lava! Or fire!
Ono 	I believe it.
 	Kion looks around.
Kion 	Beshte! The dead tree!
Beshte 	You got it, Kion. [Beshte approaches a dead tree on the bank of the lava river.] Twende kiboko!
 	Beshte knocks the dead tree into the river of lava. As they drift closer, Bunga and Fuli hop onto the dead tree.
Chungu 	Awww, there goes dinner.
Janja 	Oh, they're not gone yet. After them! [Janja jumps onto the dead tree.] *snarls*
 	Janja's weight causes the dead tree to tip, and Bunga and Fuli begin to fall toward him.
Bunga 	*yelps*
Fuli 	Huwezi!
 	Bunga and Fuli begin to fall toward Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu.
Chungu 	*cackles*
Janja 	*laughs*
Fuli 	Can't catch me!
 	Fuli bites Bunga's scruff, then leaps onto the far end of the log. As she jumps to safety, the log tips, and the hyenas slide backward, nearly tumbling into the lava.
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu 	*groan* *yelp*
 	Cut to Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu sitting in a row. A sizzling noise is heard.
Cheezi 	*sniffs* Mmm!
Chungu 	Something smells delicious!
Janja 	*grunts* That's us, fur-brains!
 	The camera zooms out to reveal Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu trapped on a rock in the midst of the lava.
Cheezi and Chungu 	*yelp*
 	Cheezi and Chungu pile on top of Janja.
Janja 	Get off me!
 	Cut to a wide shot of Pride Rock. The Lion Guard walks toward it, with Bunga resting on Fuli's back.
Fuli 	Thanks, guys. [The Lion Guard pauses.] I don't know what we would have done without you.
Kion 	We're the Lion Guard. We come through for each other. Always.
Fuli 	Uh, Bunga? You can get off me now. We're safe.
Bunga 	Yeah, I know. [Bunga pets Fuli's cheek.] You're just so soft. [Fuli tips Bunga off her back, and he rolls into the grass.] Whoa! *grunts* [Bunga rubs his head resentfully.] On the outside at least. [Bunga stands.] Hey, anyone else want to cool off at the watering hole?
Beshte 	For sure!
Ono 	I'm in!
Kion 	Let's go! [Kion starts to bound away, then turns back.] But if you'd rather be alone, Fuli, that's okay too.
Fuli 	Thanks, Kion. I do like being alone, especially when I'm hunting. But I really like hanging out with you guys too.
Kion 	[happily] You do?
Fuli 	Well, yeah. It's like you're my...my family.
Beshte 	*sniffles* [touched] That's a beautiful thing to say, Fuli.
Fuli 	Ugh, you all want a hug, don't you? [Beshte, Bunga, and Ono look pleadingly at Fuli and nod.] *sighs* All right. This once.
Beshte 	Poa!
 	Beshte, Bunga, and Ono hug Fuli.
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Ono	*coo*
 	Fuli opens one eye to look at Kion.
Fuli 	*chuckles* Yeah, you too.
 	Kion smiles.
Kion 	Hmm.
 	Kion joins the group hug.
Beshte 	You were right, Little B! She is really soft.
Bunga 	Told you.
 	The credits roll.
