Before Kion walks into the Pride Rock’s cave, he sees Anga landing close to him.

Kion: Ah. Hello, Anga.

Anga: Hey, Kion.

Kion: How was your time with Mzingo?

Anga: Well. It was... interesting. Mzingo asked me to teach him some flying techniques, but he was acting really weird. He was always distracted.

Kion: Distracted? He's never distracted.

Anga: What is weird is that he was always looking at me, but it seems like he didn't listen to me.

Kion: I need to talk to Mzingo about this.

While walking to the Outlands...

Reirei: I know exactly where we can live, honey. *smiles*

Kion: You do?

Reirei: Sure. We have so much space there. And we can go to a certain den, big enough for us, our cubs, your mother and Janna.

Kion: You mean...?

Reirei: You'll see when we get there.

Kion: I love your surprises, baby girl.

Reirei: And I love you. *kisses his cheek*

Some time later, Kion talks to Nala:

Kion: *tells her how he, Kiara, and Kopa got Scar out of Simba's head* ...We can do something similar.

Nala: Okay. Sounds good. I hope you three can convince Simba that he doesn't need me to be happy.

Kion: Mom... Please forget about what dad did to us.

Nala: No, Kion. He hurt you and me. Twice. And my love for him disappeared. *serious*

Now Kion looks sad.

The morning is almost over and Maalum is walking with Kion in the Outlands:

Maalum: Tomorrow I will finally leave the Pride Lands.

Kion: I'll miss you, Maal. But I know you will be back. Permanently this time.

Maalum: I will miss you too. But we can spend lots of time together when I get back. *smiles*

Soon...

Raha: *running to Kion and Maalum, worried* KION!

Kion: Raha? What's wrong?

Raha: It's... Queen Dhahabu. She needs your help.

Kion: Ok. I'll be there.

After Raha leaves...

Kion: Maal. If Mapigano's there, I'll need your help. You have the Roar.

Maalum: Okay. I'm going with you.

In the Back Lands, Kion sees Dhahabu in the distance. She's sitting next to the lake.

Kion: Dhahabu? *walks to her*

Dhahabu: *turns to see him* Kion. *weak smile, clearly worried*

Kion: What's wrong?

Dhahabu: I... I don't know what's going on, but I think our herd lost some zebras in the last few days. *worried*

Kion: What do you mean, honey?

Dhahabu: I think some zebras were kidnapped or... worse. I don't want to lose more zebras.

Then...

Kion: Come here, Maal.

Maalum: Huh? *walks to him* What's wrong, Ki?

Kion: I would like you to meet, Dhahabu. *smiling*

Dhahabu: Hey there. *smiling*

Maalum: *nervous* H-Hi, your beauty. I mean majesty.

Dhahabu: *blushes a little* Oh. You're Kion's husband. You can call me Dhahabu.

What’s happening in the Back Lands? Don’t miss...
