Unending Love – A Kion And Maalum Love Story
SEASON 3, EPISODE 6: GOOD ADVICES

Maalum walks into the farm, into Reirei's den.

Maalum: Reirei. Can we talk?

Reirei: Sure, Maalum. What's up?

Maalum: We need to talk about us. *serious*

Reirei: About us?

Maalum: First: about me being co-leader of your pack. I really appreciate that you thought about me. And it seems awesome to be co-leader. But... I can't accept that.

Reirei: What? Why not?

Maalum: Because I already have a lot of responsibilities as king. And now I have my cubs. I need time to be with them.

Reirei: Well... Yeah. I guess you're right about that.

Maalum: Hey. Why don't you ask Kion? Maybe he can accept you back if you invite him to be co-leader again. *smiles*

Reirei: That's what I was gonna talk to you about.

Maalum: Oh. Yeah? What is it?

Reirei: I talked to him... and he accepted it.

Maalum: Really?! *happy*

Reirei: Yeah. *smiles* But... I don't know if it'll last. I think Dogo is trying to convince him to not be my co-leader and to live with him. This relationship is a big mess.

Her mom senses are tingling.

Maalum: Hey. Don't worry. I know how much you and Kion love each other. Everything will be fine. *Nuzzles her*

Reirei: *nuzzles back* You think so?

Maalum: Sure. Your love is very powerful. *smiling*

Reirei: *smiles* My love for him is probably not as strong as theirs.

Maalum: What? No. Don't say that. You and Kion will be parents. That's the biggest proof of your love for each other. Believe me. I know what I'm saying. *winks*

Reirei: Yeah. You're right. *smiles*

Maalum: You and Kion will have a beautiful family.

Reirei: So do you and Rani.

Maalum: *blushes with a cute smile* Yeah.

Reirei: Hehe... Come here, cutie.

Maalum walks closer, still with that cute smile. Reirei kisses him. Maalum starts kissing back, enjoying her lips.

Reirei: Mmmmm... *breaks the kiss* You should go back to Rani. Or Kion, one of the two.

Maalum: Huh?! *confused* Reirei. Are you sending me away?

Reirei: No. Of course not. Ono came here earlier telling Kion that his family was starting to leave. You should find him.

Maalum: Oh, but I love to be with you. *Nuzzles her*

Reirei: You know what? *gets up* Let's look for him together. *smiling*

Maalum: You sure? *smiling*

Reirei: Yeah. I need a walk anyways.

Maalum: Okay. Let's go, my love.

Reirei: Lead the way, my King.

Maalum: *thinking* Shit. I can't resist her. *walking away*

Kion is walking with his mother, telling her a lot of things about his life.

Kion: ...and now I'm in a bit of a pickle with Reirei and Dogo.

Nala: *worried* Oh my son. I would love to help you, but I don't know how.

Kion: You can try your best, mom. I don't want to hurt Reirei because, as you know, she's pregnant with my cubs. But I also don't want to hurt Dogo. It's very complicated.

Nala: First you need to understand what they feel and what they want. After that, you just need to follow your heart.

Kion: My heart belongs to Reirei.

Nala: *smiling* So I think you already know what to do.

Kion: Yeah. *smiles*

He sees Maalum and Reirei walking up.

Maalum: *smiling* Hey, Kion!

Kion: Hey, Maaly. Reirei. *smiling*

Reirei: Hello, Kion! Nala.

Nala: Hello. *smiling*

Maalum: Nala. I thought you were going back to the Pride Lands.

Nala: Everyone already left the Tree Of Life. But I decided to stay here with my son a little more. *rubs Kion's hair*

Reirei: Awww, how sweet. 

Kion: Heh. Mom. *smiles and blushes*

Maalum: Kion. I already know you're co-leader of the jackals again.

Kion: You do? 

Reirei: Yes, he does. And he understands. Especially since he's King and has kids.

Maalum: That's right. And I am really happy that you and Reirei are back together. *smiling*

Kion: *smiling* Me too, my love.

Maalum blushes.

Nala: *Whispering to Kion* Kion. Don't forget about our conversation.

Kion: *whispers back* I know, mom. 

Reirei: What's going on, you two?

Maalum: Is something wrong?

Kion: Nothing's wrong, right mom?

Nala: Right, son. In fact, everything is fine.

Reirei: That's good, your highness. *smiles at Nala*

Nala: Oh uh... *little blush* I'm not the queen. That's Kiara now.

Reirei: Oh. Right. Sorry… Nala. *smiles*

Nala: It's okay, Reirei.

Maalum: Okay, everyone. If you don't mind, I would like to go back to my queen... and my kids. *smiling really cute with pride, thinking about his cubs*

Kion: You wanna go with him, mom? You can see his cubs. *smiling*

Nala: That's a great idea. See you later?

Kion: Yup. I'll see you later.

Maalum: See you later, my loves. *winks* Come on, Nala.

Nala: Bye. *smiling*

Kion: Bye, mom! *smiling*

Reirei: See you, Nala. *smiling* Your mother is a very nice lioness.

Kion: Yeah, she is.

Reirei: And what was that thing between you and her? *suspicious*

Kion: Me and my mom? We were talking about my relationship with you and Dogo.

Reirei: Oh. *nervous* And... Can you tell me what you did say?

Kion: Sure.

Kion tells her everything.

Reirei: *very surprised* K-Kion. You... You said that to your mother?

Kion: Yeah. I did. *smiling*

Reirei: That's probably the best thing someone said about me. *big smile in love*

Kion: *smiling, and then sad* I need to tell Dogo, but I don't know how he would react.

Reirei: *Now serious* You... You really want to break up with him?

Kion: I don't think I have a choice...

Reirei: What do you mean you don't have a choice?

Kion: He's already attempted suicide twice. I don't want him to die.

Reirei: HE DID WHAT?! *shocked*

She didn't know about that.

Kion: Yeah...

Reirei: Oh no. My poor son. He... He attempted suicide because... because of me? *very sad*

Kion: You wanna go talk to him?

Reirei: I... I don't know if that's a good idea. I think he's a little upset because of our relationship.

Kion: We'll let him down easy.

Reirei: Kion. You don't need to break up with him. But... He needs to understand that you are... like my husband. *smiling* You will live with me, you will be father of my children and co-leader of the pack. You can be mates without you living with him.

Kion: Ok. We are gonna have to tell him.

Reirei: We can go now. I think he's back from the hunt.

Kion: Okay then.

Kion and Reirei go back to the farm, where Dogo is back into his den, resting a little after the hunt.

Reirei: D-Dogo?

Dogo: *a little upset* What do you want?

Kion: We need to talk. All of us.

Dogo: What? You want to rub your happiness in my face? Look at you very close. I knew you wouldn't accept living with me.

Reirei lowers her head sadly.

Kion: You know how much your mother and I love each other. She asked me to live with her. We can still be mates, but we can't live together.

Dogo: Didn't you hear me when we talked earlier? I need you, Kion. I never was happy like when we were living together. And now you will lead the pack and live with her? That along with your relationship with the king? You won't have time for me.

Kion: I'll still have time for you.

Reirei: And don't forget he's also your father.

Dogo: *screaming at her* I DON'T WANT HIM AS A FUCKING FATHER! I WANT HIM AS A MATE!

Reirei starts crying a little.

Kion: Dogo, please. Just listen to us for once.

Dogo: No. I'm tired of your lies. You both don't want to know about my happiness. You just think about each other. *then to his mother, very upset* Congratulations. You ruined my perfect life.

Reirei: Son. Please...

Dogo: DON'T CALL ME SON! You are NOT my mother.

She starts crying hard.

Kion: Dogo. Son...

Dogo: *Surprised and upset* You. What did you call me?

Kion: You heard me. If you don't accept the decision and let me live with your mother, we're done.

Dogo: So predictable. I knew this would happen. Since you decided to get back to this farm, I knew it was just a matter of time until you decide to break up with me because of my… because of that stupid jackal.

Reirei: *crying* Please, son. I just...

Dogo: *mad, practically growling* SHUT UP! You did enough. I HATE YOU!

Reirei falls on the ground crying.

Kion: DOGO!

Dogo: WHAT?!

Kion: OUR RELATIONSHIP IS OVER! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR BULLSHIT!!

Dogo: Then what the fuck are you doing here? LEAVE! That's what you do best.

Kion: NO! YOU LEAVE! GO FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO SLEEP!

Dogo: NO! THIS IS MY DEN! I thought you loved me. I gave you all my love. Even when you tried to break up with me the other day, I did everything to convince you that we were made for each other. But that was a mistake. You prefer her. You always did.

Kion: Maybe our relationship was a lie in the beginning... *to Reirei* Come on, Reirei. Let's leave this stubborn jackal alone.

Reirei gets up, but instead of joining Kion, she starts walking to Dogo, sadly.

Kion: Reirei. What are you doing?

Reirei is now very close to her son.

Dogo: You better go with him.

Reirei: You will always be my son. *kisses his cheek*

Dogo just looks at her, surprised.

Kion: Let's go, Reirei.

She walks close to Kion, very sad.

Dogo: Wait!

Kion: What?

Dogo: I... I... I just want to say... I hope you can be happy.

Reirei: *weak smile* Thank you, son.

Kion: What about me, Dogo?

Dogo: It's obvious you're already happy. ... Without me.

Kion: Dogo. I want to be happy with both of you. I wasn't intending on yelling at you. I was just upset because you didn't accept the decision.

Dogo: *sighs* Kion. I love you both. A lot. Reirei is my mother and I could give my life for her. And you... You are the love of my life. My first, true, real love. But I know that from now on you won't have so much time for me. And that makes me feel I will lose you.

Kion looks at Reirei.

Reirei: Kion will live here on the farm. You will see him everyday.

Dogo: But he will be with you and he has a lot of things to do out of the farm.

Kion: Yeah, but you and I can work together on that stuff.

Dogo: How?

Kion: You and I can help Maaly and Rani with stuff around the Kingdom. And we can hunt together.

Dogo: You don't mind me doing that with you?

Kion: Not at all. *smiling* I can use the help. *whispers in his ear* Some of it requires us to be alone for a long period of time.

Dogo: *smiling* So... I think we can be happy after all. The three of us.

Reirei: That's all I want, son. *smiles*

Dogo looks at them with hope.

Kion: Yes. That's all I want too. *smiling*

Dogo: *hugs Kion tightly* Thank you.

Kion: *hugs back* You're welcome, Dogo. *Then he hugs Reirei* I'm sorry, mom. I don't hate you. I love you.

Reirei: I love you too, son. *cries again, but, this time, with tears of joy*

Kion is smiling and then he hears someone calling him.

Voice: Kion? Where are you?

Reirei: Huh?! *curious* I know this voice.

Kion: Yeah. Me too.

Voice: Kion? I know you can hear me!

Reirei: Wait. Is that Janja?

Kion: I think so. Let's go see. *to Dogo* You coming?

Dogo: Sure. *smiles*

The three walk like a happy family, leaving the den and go to Janja.

Janja: There you are! *smiling and then looks at the two jackals* I wasn't really expecting you two to be with him, but it is good to see you, Reirei, and uhh... *he doesn't recognize Dogo*

Reirei: Yeah. It was also unexpected for me to see you as Kion's mate, but it's fine. This is my son Dogo.

Dogo: Hi, fur brain. *smiles*

Dogo knows Janja as fur brain because Reirei was always calling him that when talking about the hyenas in the past.

Janja: *chuckles* Hehe. Hi, Dogo. Nice to see you again.

Kion: Heh. Yeah, Janja's a fur brain, but he's my fur brain.

Janja and Kion nuzzle. Reirei smiles and Dogo is a little jealous.

Reirei: So. What are you doing here, Janja?

Janja: I came here to see you both, Reirei.

Reirei: *Surprised* T-To see me?

Janja: Yeah. *smiling*

Reirei: Wow. That's new.

Dogo: Heh. Hyenas are crazy.

Another thing he heard in the past.

Janja: You're right about that, Dogo. Cheezi and Chungu never seem to leave me alone, so I had to sneak off.

Kion: So, Janja. What's going on?

Reirei: Yeah. That's what I was about to ask.

Janja: I need... leadership advice.

Reirei: Leadership advice? You?

Janja: Yeah. Jasiri left the clan and went back to the Pridelands.

Kion: What!?

Reirei: What happened?

Janja: She told me that Simba asked her to go with them because something very important is gonna happen in the Pridelands.

Reirei: *Whispering to Kion* Probably about Kiara giving birth.

Kion: *whispers* Yeah.

Janja: I've never led the clan by myself.

Reirei looks at Kion.

Kion: Janja. All you need to do is stay calm and focus on the clan. I know you're a good leader. Maybe Nne and Tano can help you.

Janja: That would work... but I was gonna ask Reirei something completely unbelievable.

Reirei: Me? But I don't know anything about leading a hyena clan. If that's what you are planning.

Janja: No. Not at all. I was gonna ask if my clan and your pack were to... uhhh combine. I know we didn't have a great past, but we're friends.

Kion just looks at Janja in shock.

Reirei: *First in shock, then laughing* Hahahaha. Oh Janja. You're hilarious. *Then…* Wait. You serious?

Janja: Yes, I'm serious.

Reirei: Janja. I would love to help you, but my pack is big and I don't think we have space in the farm for so many animals.

Kion: Maybe we can find a bigger space for the jackals and hyenas.

Janja: I like that idea.

Reirei: Um... Kion. Can we talk privately?

Kion: Sure, Reirei. *to Dogo* You stay here with Janja. Get to know him.

Dogo: He looks funny.

Janja: I heard that.

Kion follows Reirei into her den.

Reirei: Kion. We need to talk about this. *serious*

Kion: I know, Reirei.

Reirei: Listen. You know we all respect the circle of life, but my pack... I mean... Our pack isn't used to living with hyenas.

Kion: I know our pack and the hyenas aren't used to living together, but this could be a good way for the jackals and hyenas to connect.

Reirei: Well. I think we can try.

Kion: This is only until Jasiri returns.

Reirei: Okay. But... We have another problem.

Kion: What's that?

Reirei: We don't have space for everyone here in the farm. We are a lot of jackals. And since Janja's clan joined Jasiri's clan, they're a lot of hyenas too.

Kion: Like I said, we can find a big enough space for the jackals and hyenas.

Reirei: *sighs* Fine. But I will miss this farm. This is our home.

Kion: Like I said, this is only until Jasiri gets back.

Reirei: Okay, Kion. We can join the hyenas. *smiles*

Kion: Thanks Reirei. *smiles and nuzzles her*

Reirei: *licks his cheek* With you by my side, everything looks easier.

Kion: Yup.

Reirei: Let's go back outside.

They go back to Dogo and Janja. They both are laughing. Reirei looks at them with surprise.

Kion: Wow. I really wasn't expecting that.

Dogo: *still laughing* Mom. Kion. Janja is a very cool hyena.

Janja: and Dogo is a very cool jackal. *smiles*

Reirei: Oh. I'm glad you two like each other. Because our pack will join your clan, Janja. *smiles*

Dogo: What?! *surprised*

Janja: really!? *surprised*

Kion: Yes, our pack will join the hyenas.

Reirei: I learned a lot of things with my Kion. One of them: the jackals and the hyenas are not that different. Sisi ni sawa.

Janja: you're right about that. I learned Sisi Ni Sawa from Jasiri.

Reirei: And I think we can learn a lot with each other.

Kion: I think so too.

Janja: that would be great! But my fur brains and Jasiri's clan combined. And you have a lot of jackals...

Kion: I already got that figured out, Janja.

Reirei: Kion. Do you know a good place where we can live while we are together?

Kion: I do but it's a long walk from here.

Reirei: Oh. In that case, I think we have to call everyone and go immediately.

Kion: Right. 

Janja: I'll get the clan. Wanna come with, Dogo?

Dogo: Sure! *smiles happy*

Reirei: Janja. You help me with my pack so we can show them we can live together in peace.

Janja: I can do that, Reirei. *smiling*

Reirei: Thanks, Janja. Kion. Dogo. Bring the hyenas here. Then we can all go together to the new place.

Dogo: *happy* Sure, mom. I will love to help Kion.

Janja: You're welcome Reirei. 

Kion: let's go.

Janja stays with Reirei and Kion geso away with Dogo.

Dogo: Oh Kion. I'm so happy. I never wanted to break up with you. I'm glad we are okay. And I really hope you keep your promise.

Kion: I will keep my promise this time my love. Now that we got everything worked out...

Dogo: Mmmmm... *walks leaning his body against his with love* I love you so much. *smiling cute*

After Nala leaves the Tree, Maalum talks with Rani.

Maalum: Nala loved our kids. And I think they loved her as well. *smiling proud*

Rani: *smiling* I agree with that.

Silence for a while, before Maalum talking seriously.

Maalum: Rani. I talked to Reirei like I said I would do.

Rani: You did? What did she say?

Maalum: Well. About the co-leader thing, she already accepted Kion back, so everything is fine.

Rani: That's good.

Maalum: Yeah. But... I still have a problem.

Rani: What problem?

Maalum: I was planning to break up with her, but... I lost my courage. *sad*

Rani: Oh Maalum. You don't have to break up with her.

Maalum: But... She has Kion. And she was... She is my mother.

Rani: Maalum. You should be able to talk to her. I know she'll accept you as her son.

Maalum: I know she accepts me. We were trying to have a mother-son relationship before we started... this. But now she says she loves me as a mate and I love her too. But... We can't be mates. It's just not right. I'm so confused.

Rani: Imagine what Kion's dealing with between Reirei and Dogo. I'm sure you and her can work something out.

Maalum: You think?

Rani: Yeah.

Maalum: *sighs* I just want peace. I'm tired of problems, confusions... That's why me and Kion... *stops, he can't tell her yet*

Rani: What are you and Kion gonna do?

Maalum: N-Nothing? *nervous*

Rani: Are you sure? *suspicious*

Maalum: Y-Yeah. Don't worry. I... I was... I was talking about the honeymoon. *smiling, trying to convince her*

Rani: Ok. I hope you and Kion have a great time. *smiles and winks*

Maalum: *blushing* Yeah. We deserve to have some time only for us. Last days have been crazy.

Rani: Yeah. It has been so crazy.

Maalum: Oh. Crazy, but also happy. *smiles and nuzzles her*

Rani smiles and nuzzles back.

Maalum: You make me so happy, my queen. *keeps nuzzling*

She purrs as little Furahi walks between his legs.

Maalum: Heh. Hey, little guy. *starts nuzzling him now*

Furahi: da.. da... ge... *he just speaks gibberish since he's a baby*

Rani: awwwe.

Maalum: *starts crying a little* Furahi.

Maalum is so happy that he can't control his tears. Little Janna is still asleep. Furahi grabs Maalum's head and pulls it close. Maalum and Rani can hear him purring.

Maalum: Awww. Come on. Go up. *leans his head down*

Furahi climbs on his head.

Maalum: Hahaha. It tickles. *his head goes up, very close to Rani*

Now their heads are very close to each other and Furahi is in his head.

Rani: Hehe... I have a feeling little Furahi is gonna have a unique life.

Maalum: What do you mean? *asks, remembering about his hard life before he comes to the Tree Of Life*

Rani: I mean, he could find another male to be mates with when he's older. One that loves him just as much as Kion loves you.

Maalum: I hope you're right. I want the best for our kids. I suffered a lot in the past and I don't want them to live like me. I want a better life for them.

Rani: I hope so too.

Maalum: And we will always be there for them. *his nose touch hers, Furahi still in his head*

Rani: Indeed, my king. *purring*

They kiss each other.

Maalum: *his tongue plays with hers* Mmmmm...

Rani: Mmmmmm~

Maalum's dick starts rising.

Rani: *sees it* Maaly, remember, Furahi is on your head.

Maalum: *realizes his dick is hard* Oh. Hehe. Sorry about that. It's just... We haven't done it since you became pregnant. I miss you, my queen.

Rani: It's okay. *nuzzles* I miss you too. But we can't do it in front of the kids.

Maalum: Yeah. You're right. Hey. Do you want to do it tonight, while they are sleeping?

Rani: I thought you'd never ask~ *looks at him seductively*

Maalum: Hehe. *almost kissing again, but Furahi jumps to Rani's head*

Rani: Hehe.. you hungry, Furahi? *smiles*

Furahi: Ngaaa. *opens his mouth cutely*

Maalum: I think that's a yes.

Rani: I agree. Now. I'm gonna need some privacy. Can you please step out so I can feed the kids?

Maalum: Oh. Okay. *blushing* I think I will visit Goya. He's still living with Nirmala while she's healing him.

Rani: You do that. I'll tell Anga to let you know.

Maalum: Thanks, honey. *quick kiss* Love you.

Rani: You're welcome. *kisses back* love you too.

Maalum leaves the Tree.

The jackals and the hyenas are already together.

Reirei: Thank you for helping me, Janja. You did it well. *smiles*

Janja: you're welcome Reirei. *smiles*

Dogo: *to Kion* Kion. You think I did it well? I did my best to help you.

Kion: you did very well, Dogo.

Dogo smiles big.

Reirei: So Kion. I think you should start guiding us to that mysterious place before getting dark.

Kion: Yes. Let's go.

All the jackals and hyenas follow Kion. Janja, Reirei and Dogo are close to him. It's a very long walk and they finally arrive there at sunset. They're now in the Mfupi Valley (Short Valley).

Reirei: Wow, Kion. I didn't know this place.

Kion: *smiles* there is plenty of space for both the hyenas and jackals.

Reirei: This is perfect. What do you think, Janja?

Janja: I love this place!

Reirei: Now we just need to decide where we will sleep. *looking around*

Kion: There's plenty of places where we can sleep.

Dogo: Kion's right. Look. *runs to a comfortable place between two bushes and lays down* Aaah. Perfect.

Kion smiles cutie.

Ono: *appears* Kion! I have two messages for you.

Kion: What's up Ono?

Ono: King Maalum asked me to tell you to don't forget that tomorrow you have to leave at sunrise.

Kion: Right. I already knew that.

Ono: And your mother wants to talk to you.

Kion: Ok Ono. I'll go to her now.

Ono: Okay. Have a nice honeymoon, Kion. *smiling*

Kion: Thank you, Ono. *smiling*

Ono leaves.

Reirei: So we won't see you for a while, huh? *a little sad*

Kion: Yeah. I'll be gone for a few days.

Janja: you don't need to worry about us, Kion. I can take care of her when you're gone.

Reirei: *blushing a little, joking* I'm the one who will take care of you, Janja.

Janja: Hehe.. we can take care of each other, Reirei.

Dogo: You will sleep with us tonight, right Kion?

Kion: Of course Dogo. *smiling*

Reirei: You sure? You still need to go talk with your mother. It's getting dark and it's a long walk between this valley and her den.

Kion: I'll be fine, Reirei. *nuzzles her*

Reirei: Okay, my love. Just be careful. *Nuzzles him, worried*

Kion: I will.

Reirei kisses Kion with love and he kisses back. Janja is a little jealous.

Reirei: *breaks the kiss, still touching his nose with hers with a smile totally in love* I love you, Kion.

Kion: I love you too, Reirei.

Reirei: Now go. I'll be right here waiting for you.

Janja: I'll be waiting too.

Kion: thanks babes~ *leaves*
