FOUR DAYS LATER

Rani: *notices that Maalum looks sad* Maalum? What do you have in mind?

Maalum: Rani. I…

Maalum tries to tell her something, but he loses his courage.

Maalum: Nothing.

Rani: You can tell me. I'll understand.

Maalum: I don't know if you will accept this. It's a big change.

He's afraid of how she will react.

Rani: Please tell me. I'll always accept it. Whatever it is.

Maalum: *sighs* Okay. Rani. I'm planning to...

Azaad walks in, interrupting Maalum.

Azaad: Good morning, your majesties.

Maalum shares his feelings with Kion:

Maalum: I don't know how this is possible, but... I think I feel for Rani exactly the same I feel for you.

Kion: *blushes* You do?

Maalum: I think... I have the same level of love for you both. How is this even possible?

Kion: I don't know.

Maalum: I could marry you both if it was possible.

Kion: You could, but it hurts the circle of life.

Goya and Nirmala get closer:

Goya: Nirmala. I... I... *really nervous, blushing*

Nirmala: You what?

Goya: I... I love you. *totally red* I have loved you since I first saw you. I mean... Since I woke up.

Maalum runs into the tree:

Maalum: Rani! I need your help! *hugs her, totally worried*

Rani: *hugs back* Calm down, my king. What's going on?

Maalum: I made a mistake. A big mistake. *very sad*

Rani: *comforts him* What happened?

Maalum: I betrayed Kion... with Reirei. *ashamed*

Kion and Maalum walk side by side in a path between the animals. Some of them look at the couple with a special smile: their mates. Kion and Maalum go to the flat rock, where Makini is waiting for them. Makini starts the ceremony and they look at each other, smiling completely in love, knowing that soon they will be officially married.

Maalum is walking and he hears Rani screaming.

Rani: Aaaaaaah!!!

Maalum: *worried* Rani!

He runs fast to the tree. Outside, Ono warns him:

Ono: King Maalum! The queen is giving birth.

Maalum: WHAT?! *surprised*

In the Pride Lands...

Rafiki: *sees Kion rubbing his scar* Kion. What's wrong?

Maalum: Kion has been acting weird. And he's always doing that with his scar. Do you know what he has? *really worried about him*

Rafiki: Kion. Have you had a lot of stress and unhealthy anger lately?

Kion: Yes, Rafiki. It's been happening for a while now.

Rafiki: Ooh... This is not good.

Nala: What's wrong with my son? *very worried about him*

Rafiki: I'm afraid he'll need to stay with me for two hours every day for the next two weeks. I'm afraid that if he doesn't, he'll end up seriously hurting someone very close to him. 

Kion: Hevi Kabisa...

Nala talks to Simba about her feelings:

Nala: *looking at Simba, feeling nervous* S-Simba. We need to talk about... us.

Simba: What about us, honey?

Nala: I... I don't know if you realized. But... I have been a little distant lately.

Simba: I have noticed that.

Nala: Well... You know we’ve had a great connection since we were cubs. And our love grew with time. We had three amazing children. We had a great relationship.

Simba: Yes. We did have a great relationship even during those tough times.

Nala: Simba. You were so important to me. I loved to be your wife. I loved you. But... I don't love you like I used to do. What I felt for you... disappeared. I'm sorry, but I don't want to be with you anymore. *lowers her head, afraid of what he can do*

Simba: You mean... we're gonna divorce?

Nala: Y-Yeah. *very nervous*

Zazu warns Kion:

Zazu: *calling* Kion! Kion!

Kion: Zazu!? What's up!?

Zazu: Your Highness, Kiara, Queen of the Pride Lands, wishes to see her brother, Kion, former King of the Tree Of Life, at this moment. The queen wishes to see you immediately, since she's about to give birth to the heirs of the Pride Lands.

Kion: Hevi Kabisa! We need to go.

Kion is hiding behind a bush, growling at Maalum. Maalum is lost in his thoughts and he can't hear Kion. The lion starts sneaking up to the hybrid, still growling, while he keeps distracted. Suddenly, Kion roars and pounces at Maalum.

Maalum: Aaaaah! What the...? *shocked* Kion?!

Kion starts attacking Maalum.

Maalum: Aaaah! Stop! Kion! It's me!

New characters, new conflicts, marks of the past… The circle of life keeps changing, but nothing lasts forever.
