"Once Upon a Timon"[]
One day, while the Duke is away, leaving his daughter, Tatiana, alone in his castle with Fred tasked to guard the castle, Fred runs off to the grocery to get himself a snack. He then convinces Timon, who is guarding the back gate, that with the Duke gone for the day, he now has the opportunity to speak to Tatiana, knowing Timon has a massive crush on her. At first, Timon vetoes the idea of abandoning his post, as it will lead to him getting banished from the colony, but as Fred puts it, not if he does not get caught. When Fred returns to the castle, Timon thinks about Fred's words and figures he might be right.

Timon places a mop as a dummy in place of his spot and prepares for his date with Tatiana. Little does he know, a cobra sees that the back gate is unprotected and invades the meerkat colony, kidnapping Tatiana before Timon gets to see her. This saddens the entire colony as they believe Tatiana is dead. The Captain of the Guard, who guards the front gate, questions the possibility of the cobra's invasion, but when Fred points out that no one ever gets through the back gate, the meerkats realize that Timon abandoned his post.
As Timon gets ready for his now-cancelled date, he is shocked by the colony's suspicion and runs off, with the guards giving chase. While he successfully escapes the guards, he gets caught by the Duke Meerkat. Having heard about his daughter's kidnapping and presumed death, the Duke puts Timon on trial for abandoning his post. As Timon is found guilty, he is sentenced to banishment, thus becoming an outcast from his colony. As Timon sadly leaves, he sees Fred guarding the back gate, indicating that he had been demoted for failing to protect the castle.
Later, after Timon meets and befriends Pumbaa, who is also an outcast due to his gas problem, the two find Tatiana being held captive by the cobra in a lava pit. After Timon and Pumbaa rescue Tatiana and defeat the cobra, the three return to the meerkat kingdom, where a joyous celebration is being held. Pumbaa takes Timon and Tatiana to the castle, where the Duke and Tatiana happily reunite.
