For those who are interested, I got this from the Timon & Pumbaa show episode "Be More Pacific". If you've seen it, you'll remember the scene where Pumbaa tells Timon about the wishing whale he found, and Timon gets all excited. But Pumbaa says, "Wishes can be *dangerous*. Remember?" Then there is a *quick* flashback scene to a cavern with a magic lamp and Timon and Pumbaa--

But I'll stop there because if I say anymore I'll ruin the parody. Anyway, since Disney never elaborated on this flashback, I thought I would instead, hence the title, "The Lost Pacific".

The Lost Pacific

[Fade in on a normal, nothing out-of-place Savanna scene. The only thing that can be heard in the background is that of snoring. As the camera pans in the direction of the snoring, two things are seen. A warthog, and a meerkat. The meerkat lying on the warthog's belly, both asleep. It is, of course, our dynamic duo. Only.. they're not very dynamic right now. That is until a bug half Timon's size lands on top of Timon. Timon stops snoring and opens his eyes. He looks out the corner of them and sees the bug. He quickly jumps up and tries to grab it, but it quickly flies off of him, and lands on Pumbaa's nose. The bug is perfectly still, so it doesn't bother Pumbaa's sleeping.]

Timon: Pumbaa.. don't.. move..

[Timon quietly walks towards the bug, which isn't far, and dive-bombs the bug.. but the bug flies away, so Timon starts to fall towards Pumbaa's nose, instead.]

Timon: AHHHHHHHH! Pumbaaa! Moooov--

[But it was too little too soon. Timon lands square-on to Pumbaa's nose, waking Pumbaa up the instant Timon lands.]

Pumbaa: [eyes opening wide] AHHHHHHHH!

Timon: Oooof!

Pumbaa: TIMON! WHAT DID YOU DO *THAT* FOR?!

Timon: [plastered down to Pumbaa's nose] Oy.. [peels himself off Pumbaa] Sorry, Pumbaa I was trying -- [sees the bug] Shhh-- [whispers] I was trying to get that bug, over there.. [he nods his head in the direction of the bug]

Pumbaa: Ohhhh..

Timon: He's fast, though.

Pumbaa: Let me try..

[Pumbaa gets up slowly, Timon sliding off as he gets up, and slowly and cautiously makes his way over to the bug. At the last second, he pounces the bug, and once again, the bug gets the better of them, and starts to fly away. Pumbaa came close though, and even manages to start running after the bug as it flies away. The bug then travels into a log, Pumbaa pursuing after it. Unfortunately, Pumbaa is too big for the log, and so gets stuck halfway in-halfway out.]

Pumbaa: [kicking his hind legs] Timon! Heeeeelp! I'm stuck!

Timon: [running past the log, eyes on the bug just emerging from the other end of the log] Not now, Pumbaa, I'm hot on the bug's trail!!

[Timon runs past the log and all is quiet around where Pumbaa is]

Pumbaa: [stopping his kicking] Timon? Hello?

[The bug starts to fly up, and then perches itself on a branch of a tree fairly close to the ground, but way too high for Timon. But Timon stands under the branch, jumping up and down, arms extended, trying to reach the bug, anyway.]

Timon: You.. [jump] stupid.. [jump] bug.. [jump] get.. [jump] DOOOOWN! [stops jumping, and pants with a frown, exhausted]

Pumbaa: [yelling, now] TIIIIIIIIIIMOOOOOOOOOOOON!!

Timon: [glancing to Pumbaa, then keeps his eyes on the bug, even as he starts to walk over to his friend in the log] Yeah, I'm coming, Pumbaa, I'm coming..

Pumbaa: TIMON! Did ya' get the bug, did ya', did ya', huh, huh?!

Timon: [eyes still on the bug, behind Pumbaa now] No, Pumbaa, I didn't. And I don't think we ever will. He's one of those really smart bugs.

Pumbaa: Oh, gee, that's too bad, Timon. Do ya' think you could get me out of here now?

Timon: [suddenly turning back to Pumbaa] Hmm? Oh, right. [puts his paw to his chin, thinking] Hmm.. Pumbaa! Imagine that there's a big, yellow, ready-to-blow [Timon moves out the way] STINKBUG in there with you!

[All of a sudden, a 'whirring' sound can be heard as if an engine has been started. When looking at Pumbaa, his back legs are moving as fast as they can. After a few seconds of this quick "running in place" he breaks free of the log, turns around and starts running as fast as he can away from the log.]

Timon: [grinning] Gets 'im *every* time!

[Timon starts to chase after Pumbaa.]

Timon: Hey, Pumbaa, wait up!

[Fade out.]

[Fade in on Timon and Pumbaa watching the sunset drowsy-eyed after a bug feast they had later on to prove to themselves that they're still good bug-hunters regardless of the incident earlier. Pumbaa is lying down and Timon is lying on top of Pumbaa's head.]

Pumbaa: But we're still a good bug hunting team, right?

Timon: Of course! We just can't get all of 'em.

Pumbaa: [after a short pause] Why didn't we get it, Timon?

Timon: I dunno Pumbaa. Maybe he was too.. [stops suddenly]

Pumbaa: Too what, Timon?

Timon: Er.. er.. [trying to find something besides 'smart for us' which is what he was *going* to say] too.. too.. early. Yeah, that's it. Early. We were too tired to be hunting for bugs. We had just woken up.

Pumbaa: Oh. He seemed pretty smart if you ask me.

Timon: Pbbb! Please, Pumbaa, *I'm* the smartest, nothing could outsmart me!

Pumbaa: Yeah, I guess you're right, Timon. Still, I think we could have got him if I didn't get stuck in that log. If only I were smaller, like you.

Timon: Yeah. But I could have got that bug if I were bigger. Like you. It would have been no trouble getting that bug off the branch.

[The two pause, thinking about this.]

Pumbaa: I guess we just need to learn to work together better, huh Timon?

Timon: Yeah. [chuckles] Or try to become one another! [laughs]

Pumbaa: [starting to laugh] Yeah.

[They slowly stop laughing again and sigh, looking to the sun as it takes one last look at the world before sinking below the horizon to end yet another day.]

Pumbaa: Timon?

Timon: Yeah?

Pumbaa: Do stars move closer?

Timon: Whaat?

Pumbaa: Well, there's a star that looks like it's getting closer and closer. See?

[Timon squints his eyes. Indeed, what looks like a dot in the sky, but not necessarily a star, is coming closer to them by the second.]

Timon: Er.. stars don't *normally* move, Pumbaa. Not like that, anyway.

Pumbaa: So.. what is it?

Timon: I don't know, Pumbaa..

[They watch it as it gets closer and closer.]

Timon: Do you hear that?

Pumbaa: Hear what?

Timon: It.. it sounds like.. *music*!

[A *very* quiet rendition of "A Whole New World" from _Aladdin_ can be heard playing.]

Pumbaa: Yeah -- what is that?

Timon: I dunno.

Pumbaa: Erm .. maybe we should move, Timon.

Timon: Why?

Pumbaa: They could run right into us!

Timon: Doesn't look like it to me.

Pumbaa: Does to me! I think we should go, Timon!

Timon: No, let's wait.

Pumbaa: Gooo!

Timon: Er..

[The dot, now close enough to be seen as two humans riding on something, gets within a mile of the two]

Timon: ..perhaps we *should* go..

Pumbaa: Then let's--

[And the "dot" is a foot within the two..]

Aladdin: [singing] A Whole New --
