Too Many Termites/Transcript

Fade to the Pride Lands at night. The Lion Guard runs through the savanna.
Muhangus 	[from offscreen] Lion Guard! Lion Guard!
 	The Lion Guard pauses and looks around.
Ono 	This way, everyone!
 	The camera pans up to show Ono flying overhead, silhouetted by a full moon. He flies off, and his teammates follow. Cut to the Lion Guard approaching some rocks. Muhangus's and Muhanga's heads come into frame as they hide behind the rocks.
Muhangus 	You're here! Thank goodness!
 	Muhangus and Muhanga approach the Lion Guard.
Kion 	We came as soon as we could.
Beshte 	What's the kerbubble?
Muhangus 	Our den! It's full of...hyenas!
Bunga 	Hyenas? Again?
Fuli 	We've had to chase them out of the Pride Lands every night this week!
Kion 	I know one thing that'll scare them away from the aardvarks' den for good. Lion Guard, follow me!
 	Kion runs off, and his teammates follow. Cut to dark, hyena-like shapes skulking around the aardvark dens. The camera pans right to show the Lion Guard, Muhangus, and Muhanga emerging atop a nearby ridge.
Muhangus 	*yells* There they are!
Kion 	I see 'em. Everyone, stay behind me. [Kion jumps down from the ridge and climbs onto a large rock that overlooks the aardvark dens.] Hey! [The outlines of the mysterious creatures' heads come into frame.] I told you before, and I meant it. [emphatically] Get out of the Pride Lands! *roars*
 	Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to blow the mysterious creatures into the Outlands.
Aardwolves 	*yip*
Kion 	And stay out.
 	Cut to Pride Rock by day.
Bunga 	[from offscreen] Oh, yeah! [Cut to Beshte and Bunga in the Lair of the Lion Guard. While Beshte stands in the pool, Bunga lounges on his back on the bank, with termites crawling around him.] Things have been pretty quiet since we chased those hyenas off the other night, [Bunga picks up a termite.] huh? [Bunga eats the termite.] *munches*
Beshte 	Well, Kion did most of the work.
Bunga 	*munches* Yeah, but we had his back! [Bunga gets down on his knees and eats more termites.] Mmm!
 	Cut to Fuli, who is lying on her stomach nearby. She flinches.
Fuli 	Ugh. Bunga!
 	Bunga looks over one shoulder at Fuli.
Bunga 	What?
Fuli 	Please tell me you're done eating.
Bunga 	Not even close! [Bunga holds up a hand, which is covered in termites. He throws the termites into his mouth.] *munches* Besides, haven't you noticed? [The camera zooms out to show the Lair of the Lion Guard crawling with termites.] There are termites everywhere!
 	Fuli stands and lifts a paw as termites crawl around her.
Fuli 	*gasps*
 	Cut to a termite crawling up Beshte's nose.
Beshte 	Uh, yeah.
 	Cut to Kion, who stands. Termites carry a stick past him.
Kion 	No kidding. Here, Bunga. [Kion kicks the stick to Bunga.] All yours.
 	Bunga catches the stick.
Bunga 	Mmm! Termites on a stick! Thanks, Kion! [Bunga slurps up the termites with his tongue, then chews them.] Mmm!
Fuli 	[disgusted] Really?
Ono 	[from offscreen] Everyone! [Cut to a wide shot of the Lair of the Lion Guard. Ono lands among his teammates.] Everyone!
Kion 	What is it, Ono?
Ono 	We've got an emergency at Mekundu Cliffs! A big hollow tree is falling apart!
Kion 	A tree falling apart? That's not really an emergency.
Ono 	Yes, it is! It's the tree where the Mekundu bats live! They're asleep inside!
Fuli 	Why didn't you wake them up?
Ono 	I would, but, you know... *shudders* ...they're bats.
Bunga 	You're afraid of bats?
Ono 	[annoyed] You're the bravest. I'm the keenest of sight. Okay?
Kion 	You were right to get us, Ono. Come on, everybody. 'Till the Pride Lands' end...
 	The Lion Guard runs out of the Lair of the Lion Guard.
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, Kion, and Ono	Lion Guard defend!
 	Bunga runs past some termites. He doubles back.
Bunga 	One second! [Bunga scoops the termites into his mouth with his arms.] *munches* [Bunga runs after his teammates, his voice muffled.] Lion Guard defend!
 	Cut to a ravine. The camera pans up to show the Lion Guard running toward it.
Kion 	What's the fastest way, Ono?
 	Ono's vision flickers, and he spots a log that forms a bridge over the ravine.
Ono 	Across that fallen tree [Cut to the Lion Guard standing together.] and over the ravine!
Kion 	Got it!
 	The Lion Guard continues running. They run alongside the ravine, then over the log. As they cross, the log breaks in two and crumbles into the ravine behind them. The Lion Guard pauses and looks back. They approach the ravine.
Kion 	Hevi kabisa!
Fuli 	I don't get it. That tree's held all of us before. Even Beshte. What happened?
Bunga 	Maybe it just got old.
Kion 	Whatever it was, we can talk about it later. We still have to help the Mekundu bats! Come on!
 	The Lion Guard continues running. Cut to the Lion Guard approaching a bare hollow tree.
Ono 	There it is! The hollow tree!
 	The Lion Guard slows and approaches the tree. A branch creaks, then falls. Kion narrowly dodges it.
Kion 	Whoa! [The Lion Guard approaches the tree once more. It creaks ominously.] The whole thing's coming down! We gotta wake up the bats!
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, Kion, and Ono	Wake up! Get up! Wake up, guys! Wake up, bats!
 	Bunga bangs repeatedly on the tree trunk.
Bunga 	Hey, bats!
 	Cut to Ono flapping in place.
Ono 	Are they coming out?
 	Kion presses one ear to the tree trunk.
Kion 	I don't hear anything.
 	Bunga peers into the hole in the tree trunk.
Bunga 	*exclaims in delight* [Cut to a view of Bunga peering into the hole in the tree trunk, with termites crawling along the inside of the tree.] I'm going in! Zuka zama! [Bunga jumps into the tree. His voice is heard offscreen.] Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Bats 	[from offscreen] *screech*
 	Bats erupt from the hole in the tree. Beshte, Fuli, and Kion duck as they fly past.
Beshte, Fuli, and Kion 	*exclaim*
 	The bats fly at Ono.
Ono 	Oh, no! [The bats fly past Ono, the momentum of their passing spinning him around. He falls.] *screams* [Ono lands on Beshte's snout.] Are they gone?
Beshte 	They're gone.
Kion 	Bunga? [The tree begins to shake and creak.] Uh-oh!
Fuli 	Look out!
Beshte 	Oh, no!
 	The tree collapses.
Fuli 	Bunga!
 	The Lion Guard stares worriedly as termites crawl over the remains of the tree. Suddenly, Bunga emerges from the dirt.
Kion 	*gasps*
Bunga 	Somebody call me? [Bunga picks up termites from the remains of the tree and begins to eat them.] *munches*
Fuli 	I am not okay with all the termites around here.
Kion 	You're right. There's a lot of them.
Beshte 	I've never seen so many termites. They ate through the whole tree.
Kion 	Maybe they ate through the tree bridge too. I bet that's why it collapsed!
 	Cut to Ono flapping in place.
Ono 	That certainly makes sense. Termites eat wood. So, too many termites would eat too much wood.
Beshte 	But we've always had termites in the Pride Lands. Why are there too many now?
Bunga 	Hey! Just because there are a lot of termites, it doesn't mean there's too many. [A creak is heard.] Huh? [Several nearby trees collapse in succession.] Okay. There may be a few too many.
Kion 	We have to tell my dad.
 	Cut to Pride Rock.
Simba 	[from offscreen] Let me guess. You're here to tell me that [Cut to Simba standing in the entryway of Pride Rock. The Lion Guard faces him. Next to Simba is a termite mound.] there are too many termites in the Pride Lands?
Kion 	Um, yeah. The thing is, we don't know why there are so many termites.
Simba 	Hmm. Maybe we should ask the aardwolves.
Fuli 	Aardwolves?
Simba 	That's right. They're the Pride Lands' termite experts.
 	Bunga scoops up nearby termites and eats them.
Bunga 	*munches*
Ono 	I've heard of aardwolves, but I've never seen one.
Simba 	I'm not surprised. They're very shy. They come out only at night and pretty much keep to themselves. But they love to eat termites. [to Bunga] Even more than you do!
Bunga 	[muffled] Not possible! [Bunga eats another termite.] *munches*
Fuli 	So, the aardwolves keep the Pride Lands' termites under control?
Simba 	That's right. At least...until now.
Beshte 	I sure hope nothing happened to them.
Kion 	Yeah. We better talk to the aardwolves and make sure they're okay. Where do they live?
Simba 	Well, they tend to roam around. But their favorite places to sleep are empty aardvark dens.
 	Fuli and Kion exchange glances.
Fuli 	Empty aardvark dens?
 	Bunga pops up in-between Fuli and Kion, holding termites.
Bunga 	Ha! That's funny. We just chased hyenas out of an empty aardvark den a couple days ago! [Bunga eats a termite.] *munches*
Kion 	Uh, Dad? What exactly do aardwolves look like?
Simba 	Well, they actually look a lot like hyenas.
 	Fuli and Kion exchange glances, while Bunga continues to feast on termites.
Bunga 	*munches*
Kion 	I was afraid you'd say that. [Kion approaches Simba.] Dad, I... I think I kicked the aardwolves out of the Pride Lands. It was a mistake. I thought they were hyenas.
Fuli 	We all did.
Bunga 	I still do!
Kion 	Thanks, guys. But I'm the one who used the Roar on them.
Simba 	You...Roared at the aardwolves? Well, that explain the termites.
 	Kion looks down in shame.
Kion 	I'm sorry, Dad.
 	Simba uses his muzzle to lift Kion's head.
Simba 	Kion, you've made a mistake. We all do. But it's what you do to correct your mistakes that really counts.
Kion 	Thanks, Dad. We're gonna make things right. I promise! Lion Guard, we're gonna find those aardwolves and bring them back to the Pride Lands!
 	Cut to the Outlands. A chameleon climbs onto a rock, then looks over a ledge. Down below, the Lion Guard walks through a wide canyon, with Ono riding on Beshte's back.
Fuli 	Your Roar sure knocked those aardwolves a long way into the Outlands.
 	Cut to Kion walking with his head bent to the ground.
Kion 	*sighs* [Kion looks over one shoulder at Fuli.] Don't rub it in. [Kion resumes his tracking.] I'm just glad we got their scent from the aardvark dens so we can track them.
Bunga 	I'm glad I had a termite snack before we left. [Beshte, Bunga, and Fuli pause.] This place has none.
Beshte 	Those poor aardwolves must be gettin' awful hungry.
Ono 	As soon as we get them back home, they'll have plenty of termites to eat!
 	Cut to Fuli and Kion walking with their heads bent to the ground.
Fuli and Kion 	*sniff*
 	Fuli pauses.
Fuli 	*gasps* [Kion pauses and looks over one shoulder at Fuli.] Do you smell that?
Kion 	*sniffs* It's the aardwolves' scent. And it's getting stronger. [Kion resumes his tracking.] *sniffs*
 	Cut to a large rock in the canyon. Ogopa climbs atop it and spots the Lion Guard walking closer.
Ogopa 	*gasps* [Ogopa hops down from the rock to join her packmates.] I just saw the Lion Guard! They followed us into the Outlands!
Haya 	[stuttering] What are they doing out here? You think they're still after us?
Mjomba 	The Lion Guard? Why would they be after us? They already chased us out of the Pride Lands...into the termite-forsaken Outlands.
Ogopa 	Yes. *chuckles* Yes! Of course! The Lion Guard can't be looking for us. *sighs* They're just passing by!
 	Haya, Mjomba, and Ogopa bound out from behind the large rock and hide behind a smaller one. They peek over it. Cut to the Lion Guard walking closer, with Fuli and Kion still tracking.
Fuli and Kion 	*sniff*
 	Fuli pauses.
Fuli 	So, when we find the aardwolves, what's the plan?
Bunga 	Sneak up on 'em?
Beshte 	Surround them?
Haya 	[to Ogopa] Still think they're just passing by?
Ogopa 	But why? Why?
 	Haya and Ogopa run offscreen.
Mjomba 	Oh, look! Is that a bug?
 	Mjomba ducks offscreen. Cut to Beshte and Bunga walking side by side.
Bunga 	Pfft! All this tracking's taking too long. I'm goin' up and [Bunga does a flip.] over. Zuka zama!
 	Bunga bounds toward the large rock, while the rest of the Lion Guard follows more slowly. Bunga begins to climb the rock. Cut to the aardwolves gathered behind the rock.
Ogopa 	It's not like you'd sneak up on somebody and surround them just to say hello.
 	Bunga reaches the top of the rock, only to slip and fall over the other side.
Bunga 	*yells*
 	Cut to the aardwolves.
Ogopa 	Am I right?
 	Bunga lands in the midst of the aardwolves.
Bunga 	*grunts* [Bunga looks around at the aardwolves.] Oh, [Bunga waves.] hello!
Aardwolves 	*scream* [The aardwolves flee.] *pant*
 	The rest of the Lion Guard reconvenes with Bunga.
Bunga 	I found 'em! They're goin' that way!
Beshte 	But why are they running away?
Kion 	I don't know, Beshte. All I know is that we've gotta convince them to come back to the Pride Lands! Now, come on! [The Lion Guard takes off after the aardwolves.] Aardwolves!
Beshte, Bunga, Fuli, and Ono 	Aardwolves! Aardwolves!
 	As the Lion Guard runs offscreen, chasing the aardwolves, Mjomba emerges from behind a rock.
Mjomba 	*gasps* It really is the Lion Guard! Why didn't somebody say something?
 	Cut to the Lion Guard chasing the aardwolves.
Ogopa 	*squeals* They're coming after us! *squeals*
Haya 	Run faster!
Kion 	Wow. They're pretty fast.
Fuli 	Oh, you want fast? [Fuli puts on a burst of speed.] Huwezi! [Fuli streaks ahead of the aardwolves and does an about-face.] Listen up! We're the Lion Guard! We're only here to...
Aardwolves 	[from offscreen] *yip*
Fuli 	Whoa!
 	The aardwolves bowl over Fuli.
Aardwolves 	*shriek*
 	Fuli lands on her feet.
Fuli 	*groans*
 	The rest of the Lion Guard catches up to Fuli.
Kion 	You okay?
Fuli 	They didn't stop.
Bunga 	Yeah, we noticed. That was weird.
Kion 	Wait. They're afraid of us.
Ono 	Afraid of us?
Kion 	Well, I did use the Roar on them. Maybe they think we're out to get them.
Bunga 	You mean they think we're the bad guys?
Beshte 	But we're the Lion Guard. We can't be the bad guys.
Fuli 	And you didn't mean to Roar at them. It was an honest mistake.
Kion 	Yeah, but they don't know that. So, we've gotta convince them we're the good guys. Of course, we've gotta find them again first.
 	Ono points.
Ono 	Look! I see one of them right there! [Ono takes to the air. His vision flickers, and he spots Mjomba running toward a cliff.] Hapana! Guys! He's running right towards a cliff!
Bunga 	Leave this one to me! [Bunga runs off. He somersaults down a ledge and keeps running.] Zuka zama! [Cut to the rest of the Lion Guard watching worriedly from atop the ledge. Cut to Mjomba running, with Bunga just behind him. Bunga lunges at Mjomba.] *yells*
 	Bunga and Mjomba roll over.
Mjomba 	*grunts* [Bunga pins Mjomba at the edge of the cliff.] *groans* [Mjomba strains to get free, to no avail.] *grunts* Get off me. Get off of me! What do you think you're doing?
Bunga 	Uh, maybe a little something like... [pointedly] saving your life!
 	Bunga gets off Mjomba, who rolls onto his stomach and looks over the cliff.
Mjomba 	What? Oh. Uh, well, in that case, thanks. *sighs* [The rest of the Lion Guard approaches. Mjomba sits up.] So, now, what? [Mjomba stands.] You've already kicked me and the others out of the Pride Lands! Where do you want us to go now?
Kion 	We want you to come back to the Pride Lands!
Mjomba 	You want us to go back? Wouldn't it have been easier just to not kick us out in the first place?
Bunga 	[in an aside to Fuli] He's got a point there.
Fuli 	Bunga...
Bunga 	Just sayin'...
 	Kion approaches Mjomba.
Kion 	Look, I'm really sorry. That was a mistake. I Roared at you because we thought you were hyenas.
Mjomba 	*growls* Hyenas? Hyenas?! Do I look like a hyena to you?
 	Kion looks over one shoulder at his teammates.
Bunga 	Pretty much.
Ono 	Yep.
Beshte 	Uh-huh.
Fuli 	You aardwolves really don't get out much, do you?
Kion 	We still need to find the rest of your pack so we can take you all home.
Mjomba 	[suspicious] I don't know... What's in it for me?
Ono 	Well...you get to go home.
Bunga 	A home that's now totally overrun with termites, by the way.
Mjomba 	*gasps* Termites? *slurps* [chuckling] Mmm! [Mjomba jumps in a circle excitedly.] Now, you're talking! Why didn't you say so in the first place? [Mjomba runs off.] Let's go!
Kion 	Uh, hey! [The Lion Guard runs after Mjomba.] Wait for us!
 	Cut to the aardwolves running.
Aardwolves 	*scream*
Haya 	Here. Behind these rocks!
 	The aardwolves take shelter behind a large rock pile. Ogopa notices an opening in the rocks.
Ogopa 	Ooh, look! Let's hide in there! [The aardwolves walk through the opening, entering a small enclave.] This is perfect! Yes! Totally perfect! I think.
Haya 	Yeah! They'll never find us here. [after a beat] I hope.
Ogopa 	Poor, brave Mjomba! [Ogopa collapses on her stomach.] It's because of him we're safe. *sobs* [after a beat] Maybe.
Haya 	I'll take a peek, just to be sure. [Haya pokes his head out of the enclave. He looks around, then ducks back inside. His voice is heard offscreen as the camera pans left to show more of the Outlands.] Yep. All clear.
 	Reirei emerges nearby.
Reirei 	*sniffs* Mmm. Ooh. Something smells delicious! *sniffs* Oh! Aardwolves! [Reirei pokes her head into a nearby cave.] Goigoi! [Reirei approaches Goigoi, who is asleep.] You hear what I said?
Goigoi 	*snores* I love you too, baby.
 	Reirei approaches Goigoi and shoves him.
Reirei 	Goigoi!
Goigoi 	*snores* [Goigoi's eyes droop open.] Huh? Was I snorin'?
Reirei 	Oh, never mind. Keep sleeping if you want. [Reirei turns away from Goigoi.] Just more scrumptious aardwolf for me and the kids.
Goigoi 	*snorts* [Goigoi shoots to his paws.] You had me at aardwolf.
 	Reirei turns to face Goigoi.
Reirei 	Thought so. Smells like a whole pack of 'em just moved in next door.
Goigoi 	When did the hyraxes move out?
Reirei 	They didn't.
Goigoi 	Oh, yeah. *chuckles* They were delicious.
Reirei 	Now that you're up, [Reirei turns away from Goigoi.] time we said hello to our new neighbors.
 	Reirei bounds offscreen.
Goigoi 	*slurps* Whatever you say, dear.
 	Cut to the outside of the aardwolves' enclave.
Haya 	[from offscreen] Coming in here was a great idea! [Cut to the inside of the enclave. Some of the aardwolves are lounging on rocks, while Ogopa sniffs around, and Haya looks around.] It's roomy, nice and dank, wall to wall dirt...
Ogopa 	Awww. Too bad there's nothing here to eat.
Reirei 	[from offscreen] Oh, I wouldn't say that!
Aardwolves 	*gasp*
 	Cut to Goigoi and Reirei standing in the entrance of the enclave.
Ogopa 	*gasps*
Haya 	*gasps*
 	The aardwolves huddle together fearfully.
Reirei 	We're the folks from next door!
Goigoi 	Howdy, neighbors!
Haya 	*sighs* You scared us for a second there!
Ogopa 	*chuckles* We thought you were the Lion Guard.
Goigoi 	[panicked] Lion Guard? Where? 'Tweren't me! Reirei made me do it!
Reirei 	Goigoi...
 	Reirei kicks Goigoi away.
Goigoi 	Hey! [Goigoi hits the wall of the enclave and collapses on the ground.] *yips*
Haya 	Oh! [Haya approaches Reirei.] You don't like 'em either? Well, don't worry. They'll never find us. We totally gave them the slip! [after a beat] I think.
Reirei 	I see. Well, now, you just set your minds at ease. [Reirei walks in among the aardwolves.] We're the furthest thing from the Lion Guard. Believe you me. [Reirei approaches Ogopa.] And, uh, why exactly were you running away from the Lion Guard?
Ogopa 	Because they're mean! And they're scary!
Reirei 	Say it, sister!
 	Haya bounds over to join Ogopa and Reirei.
Haya 	But mainly because Kion's Roar sent us flying out of the Pride Lands!
Ogopa 	And then, they came after us here! *gasps* You won't tell them where we are, will you?
Reirei 	Don't you worry about that. I promise, the Lion Guard won't find hide nor hair of you. [in an aside to Goigoi] Well, maybe a little hide.
Goigoi 	And maybe a little hair.
 	Ogopa takes a confused step backward.
Ogopa 	Huh?
 	Reirei strides toward Ogopa.
Reirei 	All we're trying to say is, as your new neighbors, we're going to be such good friends! And you know what friends do...
Goigoi 	Have each other for dinner! [Reirei kicks Goigoi away.] Owww!
Reirei 	He means, have each other over for dinner.
 	The aardwolves look up in relief.
Aardwolves 	*whine*
Reirei 	This is your new home.
 	Goigoi sidles up to Reirei.
Goigoi 	And we're your new friends.
Reirei 	No need to keep runnin'. Your trip's at an end.
Goigoi 	We're here for you.
Reirei 	We know how you feel. [Reirei dances past the aardwolves.] Just stay with us, and [Goigoi and Reirei pose back to back.] we'll make you a meal. You'll be safe inside.
 	Reirei approaches the aardwolves, who flinch away from her.
Goigoi 	Inside our bellies.
 	Reirei kicks Goigoi away.
Reirei 	Goigoi! [Goigoi lands on his back, then stands. Reirei joins him.] It's gonna be a meal you won't forget.
Goigoi 	It might just be our biggest yet.
Reirei 	Now that we're all neighbors [Reirei strides in among the aardwolves.] and 'cause you look so sweet...
 	Goigoi bounds forward.
Goigoi 	We'll have you 'round our place [Goigoi slides in next to Reirei.] and have ourselves a treat. [Cut to the aardwolves hiding behind a rock, shivering. Goigoi approaches them.] Ain't no need to be scared, y'all.
 	Goigoi hops onto the rock, and an aardwolf leaps away fearfully.
Aardwolf 	*yips*
Goigoi 	We'd love to help you hide.
 	Cut to Haya and Ogopa hiding behind a rock, shivering. Reirei approaches them.
Reirei 	We promise no one will find you once you're safe inside. This is your new home.
 	Goigoi joins Reirei.
Goigoi and Reirei 	And we are your new friends. [The aardwolves emerge, smiling.] No need to keep runnin'. Your trip's at an end.
 	Goigoi leaps onto a rock.
Goigoi 	We're here for you.
 	Reirei hops up next to Goigoi.
Reirei 	We know how you feel. [Goigoi and Reirei hop onto another rock.] Just stay with us, [Goigoi and Reirei pose back to back.] and we'll make you a meal.
 	The aardwolves exchange glances. Goigoi and Reirei get onto their hind paws and spin several times. Goigoi jumps into the midst of the aardwolves.
Goigoi 	So, when you're good and ready, you'll wanna close your eyes.
 	Goigoi walks backward away from the aardwolves. They follow him, while Reirei walks along behind them.
Reirei 	'Cause we're gonna give you a really big surprise. [Reirei approaches Haya.] We just can't wait to have you [Ogopa approaches on Reirei's other side.] as our special guest.
 	Reirei bounds away. Cut to Goigoi.
Goigoi 	You'll be gone when it's over. [Reirei sidles up to Goigoi. They dance and pose back to back.] No need to clean our mess.
 	Goigoi and Reirei hop onto a rock and dance.
Goigoi and Reirei 	This is your new home.
 	Goigoi and Reirei climb higher, while the aardwolves shake their heads to the rhythm down below.
Aardwolves 	And you are our new friends.
Goigoi and Reirei 	No need to keep runnin'.
Aardwolves 	Our trip's at an end. [Goigoi and Reirei hop down among the aardwolves, who continue to dance.] You're here for us.
Goigoi and Reirei 	We know how you feel.
Aardwolves, Goigoi, and Reirei 	We'll stay with you, and...
 	Cut to the aardwolves, Goigoi, and Reirei dancing in a circle.
Reirei 	We'll make you a meal.
 	Goigoi briefly looks back at Ogopa.
Goigoi 	We'll make you a meal. [Goigoi continues dancing.] *laughs*
 	The aardwolves pose together, then draw apart to let Goigoi and Reirei stride in-between them.
Reirei 	Just stay with us, [Goigoi and Reirei hop onto a rock.] and we'll make [drawing the note out, climbing onto Goigoi's back] you a meal.
 	Haya and Ogopa cuddle up to Goigoi, who puts his arms around them.
Ogopa 	Wow! That was fun, huh? We are so lucky we picked this cave to hide in!
Reirei 	Oh, no, honey. We're the lucky ones.
 	Cut to the Lion Guard and Mjomba standing at a distance from the outside of the aardwolves' enclave. Ono lands on Beshte's back.
Ono 	Yep. They're hiding in that cave all right.
Kion 	Okay. This time, we need a good plan.
Bunga 	On it. I'll go in alone. [Bunga starts to walk off, only to run into Beshte and fall over.] *grunts*
Beshte, Fuli, Kion, and Ono 	[whispering] No!
 	Bunga rubs his head resentfully.
Beshte 	Sorry, Little B. Nothin' personal.
Kion 	Mjomba, will you go into that cave? Tell the other aardwolves we're not a threat?
Mjomba 	Sure. I can do that.
Kion 	Just pop your head out when you know they won't run. Then, we can all go back to the Pride Lands.
Mjomba 	*gasps* Then, I can eat! Unlimited termite feast, here I come!
 	Mjomba bounds offscreen.
Bunga 	[yelling after Mjomba] Almost unlimited! Some of those termites are mine!
Fuli 	*groans* Seriously?
Bunga 	Never too early to call dibs.
 	Cut to Mjomba entering the aardwolves' enclave.
Mjomba 	Hello? Any aardwolves at home?
 	Cut to Goigoi, with his arms still wrapped around Haya and Ogopa.
Goigoi 	Private party!
Reirei 	Not at all! Not at all! The more, the merrier!
 	Haya and Ogopa wrest themselves free of Goigoi and run toward Mjomba.
Haya 	Mjomba! You escaped! How smart! How brave! It is really you, right?
Mjomba 	Yeah, it's me! [Mjomba approaches Haya and Ogopa.] And I've got good news: the Lion Guard are the good guys. They saved me!
Ogopa 	Good guys? No way! They kicked us out of the Pride Lands! *gasps* Is this another trick? [Ogopa looks around fearfully, then checks behind Mjomba.] Are they hiding behind you?
Mjomba 	No! And they didn't mean to kick us out! [The other aardwolves approach Mjomba.] They thought we were hyenas!
Haya 	Hyenas? That's ridicu... [Haya looks over one shoulder at his packmates.] Okay, now, I see it.
Mjomba 	Anyway, they want to take us back to the Pride Lands. [Goigoi and Reirei exchange glances, then walk past the aardwolves, toward the entrance of the enclave.] Since we left, it's crawling with termites!
 	The aardwolves smile.
Aardwolves 	*yip*
Ogopa 	Mmm. Termites? Crawling with 'em?
Mjomba 	Yeah, and we can eat 'em all! They need us to!
Haya 	You hear that? We can go home and eat termites!
Mjomba 	So, let's go!
Reirei 	[from offscreen] Hold on a second! [Cut to Goigoi and Reirei standing in the entrance of the enclave.] I thought we were going to have dinner here.
Mjomba 	Well, I dunno. You got any termites?
Reirei 	Oh, trust me, none of you are leaving this cave hungry. In fact, [sinisterly] none of you are leaving at all! Goigoi! Push!
 	Goigoi pushes a rock into the entrance of the enclave, blocking the way out.
Aardwolves 	*gasp*
 	Cut to the Lion Guard. A thud is heard, and Kion turns around.
Kion 	Something's not right. Why'd they do that?
Fuli 	Maybe they're still scared of us?
Beshte 	You think they didn't believe Mjomba?
Kion 	I promised we'd make things right. Come on! [The Lion Guard runs toward the aardwolves' enclave. Kion stops outside the entrance, and Ono flies in place beside him.] Ono. Can you see through the crack?
Ono 	I can try. [Ono peeks through a gap in the rocks.] *gasps* [softly] Hapana! [Ono flies up to Kion.] Jackals!
 	Cut to Goigoi and Reirei stalking toward the aardwolves, who back up.
Reirei 	*growls*
Goigoi 	Should we wait for the kids?
Reirei 	We'll bring 'em the leftovers.
 	Goigoi and Reirei lunge at the aardwolves.
Goigoi and Reirei 	*growl*
 	The aardwolves scatter.
Aardwolves 	*yip*
Goigoi and Reirei 	*growl*
 	Goigoi chases an aardwolf, snapping at its heels.
Beshte 	[from offscreen] Twende kiboko!
 	Beshte pushes through the rock at the entrance of the enclave, and the Lion Guard enters behind him. The camera pans out to show Reirei about to eat Mjomba, who is cowering on the ground.
Kion 	Get away from the aardwolf, Reirei! [Kion tackles Reirei.] *grunts*
Reirei 	*yips*
 	Kion and Reirei land, with Kion pinning her on her back.
Kion 	*growls*
 	Cut to Fuli standing in front of the aardwolves.
Fuli 	Aardwolves! Follow me!
 	Fuli races out of the enclave, and the aardwolves follow. Ono flaps in place outside the entrance of the enclave.
Ono 	All clear, Kion!
 	Cut to Kion pinning Reirei.
Kion 	*growls*
Reirei 	Kion! So nice of you to drop by! Gotta admit, I wish you'd of come a little later.
Kion 	I'll bet you do, Reirei. [Kion looks over one shoulder.] Anybody got Goigoi?
 	Cut to a close-up of Bunga.
Bunga 	He's not going anywhere.
 	Cut to Goigoi running in place, while Bunga holds his tail.
Goigoi 	*pants*
 	Kion steps off Reirei.
Kion 	All right, Reirei. [Reirei sits up.] Time for you to go home!
Reirei 	You betcha! See ya next visit!
 	Reirei runs off.
Kion 	Okay, Bunga!
 	Bunga lets go of Goigoi's tail, and Goigoi runs after Reirei.
Goigoi 	*yelps*
 	Reirei bounds out of the enclave, passing the aardwolves and the Lion Guard. She pauses and briefly looks back.
Reirei 	*sighs*
 	Goigoi crashes into Reirei, and they roll away in a tangle.
Goigoi and Reirei 	*grunt* [Bunga exits the enclave, doing a flip as he goes. Goigoi and Reirei roll into their den.] *yelp*
 	Bunga pushes a rock into the entrance of the den, blocking the way out.
Bunga 	And stay in there!
 	Bunga crosses his arms and leans on the rock.
Reirei 	[from offscreen] Don't you worry about little old us! [Bunga struts away.] We love it in here! Don't we, Goigoi? Goigoi?
Goigoi 	[from offscreen] *snores*
 	Cut to the aardwolves.
Ogopa 	She seemed like such a good hostess. Until she tried to eat us.
Haya 	Yeah, that sorta spoiled the party.
 	Cut to Mjomba standing with Fuli and Kion, while Ono flaps in place nearby.
Mjomba 	I could really use a termite about now. Can we go home and eat?
Kion 	Best idea I've heard all day.
 	Kion stamps his paw emphatically. Cut to the Lion Guard walking through the Outlands, with the aardwolves running after them. Cut to the underside of Pride Rock. The camera pans down to the entrance of the Lair of the Lion Guard. Cut to Bunga lying on his back on a rock.
Bunga 	*sighs*
 	The camera zooms out to show Beshte, Fuli, and Kion gathered around Bunga in the Lair of the Lion Guard.
Kion 	Hey, buddy, how you doing?
Bunga 	[sullen] I'm fine. I guess...
Beshte 	Miss the termites?
Bunga 	[with dramatic flair] I'm trying to be brave about it, but I gotta admit... *sniffs* [choked up] I do miss 'em.
Fuli 	Well... [Fuli stands.] we've got a little surprise that might make you feel better.
Bunga 	I don't think there's anything that could do that.
 	Ono swoops into the Lair of the Lion Guard carrying a leaf bundle.
Ono 	How about a thank you gift from the aardwolves?
 	Ono drops the leaf bundle onto Bunga, and it splits open, revealing termites.
Bunga 	They saved me some! Un-Bunga-lievable! [Bunga eats some termites.] *munches* Hey, it's working! I really do feel better!
Beshte, Fuli, Kion, and Ono 	*laugh*
 	The credits roll.
