I... [trails off, hmms a little] I really have no idea where I am.

I can't go up. There's just sky. Am I supposed to climb a mountain or something? That's crazy. But...

Maybe I should just go back to that forest.

[long bout of silence]

...Which direction was that in...

[a gasp of panic]

Is that a hyena?!

[and then the sound of digging and burrowing]

I don't think you're in their neck of the woods, Ma.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

[well there's definitely some kind of loud growling and snuffling above her, muffled by her tunnel :|]

I'm in something's neck of the woods!

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

[Definitely sounds more serious than he had originally thought.]

Ma?

Where are you? I'll get...

Ah... [Is there anyone 'big' even around?] Uh...

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

I went to that wedding in... Macalania? I think that was it...

And then I left...

[very specific, right.]

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

Macarena? That's not even a...

What's 'left'? Your left or mine?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

Maraca?

[Hmmmmmm.]

No, no left-or-right. Just. Left. Maybe I did take a left, though. Or was it...

Oh, I don't know! Stop confusing me, Timon!

I was in a really open plain.

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

You're the confusing one! How am I supposed to know if you don't even know?!

[An open plain? Great. He'll just fly up and get a nice clear view of the entire - oh, wait. MEERKATS CAN'T FLY SO THIS ISN'T ALL THAT HELPFUL.]

Give me somethin' else! Anything.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

I'm sure I was right the first time!

[a deep breath, and then some more digging... probably safe now]

I don't know! I don't think I was too far from that forest. That was unlike anything I've seen before! Oh, it was beautiful, Timon! [yeah. what was the topic again?]

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

. . .

THE HYENA, MA?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

What? [she sounds very confused] What hyena -? Oh, no, I think that's gone now. I don't think it was actually a hyena, Timon.

[circular conversations, it's what's for dinner.]

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

...

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

What is wrong with this family?!

[Voice] 1/2 :|

[meerkatmama]

Timon.

[voice] 2/2

[meerkatmama]

I'm lost and have no idea where I am or where to go! Now is not the time! [for your existential genetic crisis]

[Voice]

[sparkwithinme]

[Was that... digging?] Are you alright?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

For the moment, I think...

I think it's going away.

[Voice]

[sparkwithinme]

Well, that's good at least!

Hm... I haven't really seen all the floors so I'm not sure which you're on.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

[concept of floors still confuses her]

I wasn't umm... paying attention to the other 'floors' when I got to... this one.

Re: [Voice]

[sparkwithinme]

Well... that's a problem. Alright, let me think... there must be some way to figure this out...

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

Your guess is as good as mine... [or a lot better]

[Voice]

[sparkwithinme]

Well, let me see if I can get someone to tell me about all the different floors. Then it should be pretty simple to work out which floor your on.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

Alright. I appreciate it.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

Are you a zebra?

[yeah. conversations with Timon lead to this.]

[Voice]

[sparkwithinme]

A zebra? No... Zebra's have stripes.

I'm a unicorn. My name's Twilight Sparkle.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

Oh, okay! My son thought you were. I wanted to check.
