SEASON 5, EPISODE 3: HELPING KASI

In the Pride Lands, Vitani's Guard isn't patrolling. They are talking to each other and they all seem worried, except Vitani who seems to be upset.

Reirei: *to Kion* Uh... There's something wrong with them.

Kion: I'll talk to them. Just follow me.

Reirei: Ok, honey.

The girls keep "arguing" and Kion and his wife walk to them.

Kion: Lion Guard? What's going on?

Imara: Kion. Hi. Can you please give our leader some good sense?

Vitani: Imara! Shut up!

Kion: Uh... Sure. *to Vitani* What's wrong, Vi?

Vitani: *serious* Let's just say we need a new fastest member.

Kion: Ahh... That's exactly who I came to talk to you about..

Vitani: What? Did you find someone to replace Kasi?

Kion: No. Just listen to what I have to say.

Vitani: Okay. I'm listening.

Kion tells her about the contest with Fuli tomorrow morning and about Rafiki's warning.

Tazama: Hiyo kali!

Kion: *to Tazama* I know.

Vitani: Oh no. I... I didn't know it was that bad. Let me tell you what happened. Fuli came to talk to me about that contest and I talked to Kasi. I just found she was lying to me all this time. She promised me that she would stop with the extra training, but she kept training.

Kion: All of this bullshit is from her losing the race against Fuli last year.

Vitani: Now she really believes that she will beat Fuli tomorrow and I told her to forget about that and to stop training too much. But she refuses to stop. So I didn't have another choice. I told her she's out of the Guard.

Imara: Which was clearly a bad decision.

Shabaha: We need her.

Vitani: I'm the leader! I decide!

Kion: *stern leadership voice* VITANI!! You need her! Fuli did the same thing when I was a cub and got surrounded by Mzingo's vultures! If it wasn't for Ono pointing it out, she would be DEAD. The fastest member is one of the most important parts of the Guard!

Vitani: *serious* Kion. I don't need your help. I know what I am doing. She lied to me and she hasn't been doing good training with us because she's focused on facing Fuli in that stupid race. You think you can come here and tell me what to do? Well. Here's something you should know. I am the leader of the Lion Guard. This is my Lion Guard. Not yours. So don't tell me what I should do.

Kion: That doesn't matter. Fuli had an attitude and was sometimes stubborn, but she still was and still is part of my Lion Guard.

Vitani: Then I think you are not a good leader.

Kion: What?! You're the bad leader here! Do you want her to be paralyzed!?

Vitani pins him down hard.

Reirei: Kion! *worried*

Vitani: Listen to me. She made her choice. Now she needs to learn her lesson. And you… Stop telling me what to do with my team.

Kion: Get. Off. *serious*

Vitani: I will. If you promise to stop telling me how to lead my Guard.

Kion: I promise, but you made a mistake by firing Kasi.

Vitani: *gets off* I'm doing the right thing. You'll see.

Kion: *gets up* Vitani. You don't listen to the lion who has the most experience. I'm trying to give you advice, but you just don't care. *pauses and looks at her*

Vitani looks at Kion seriously.

Kion: I think... I think we need a break from our relationship.

Vitani: W-What? N-No.

Kion: Yes, Vitani. Please think about what I said.

Vitani: You can't do that. Is that because of Kasi?

Kion: Yeah. She's gonna end up paralyzed if she doesn't stop what she's doing.

Vitani: But she doesn't want to stop.

Kion: I need you to talk some sense to her. If she does get paralyzed, she'll end up DEAD somewhere. You firing her made this whole thing far worse than it should be.

Vitani: You... You really think I did it worse? *now she's getting more worried and sad*

Kion: Yeah.

Vitani: I... I'm sorry, Kion. I just thought... *sighs* I'm a bad leader. *lowers her head sadly*

Kion: That's why I'm here. *gets closer* I want to help you be a better leader. *nuzzles her*

Vitani: You... You want to help me?

Everyone is looking at them both with a smile.

Kion: Yeah. Both me and my lovely wife do.

Reirei: I... I want to try.

Vitani: Asante, Kion.

Kion: Hakuna matata, Vitani.

Vitani: So... What do you think I should do? She didn't listen to me last time.

Kion: We'll all talk to her. I'll even get Rafiki involved.

Vitani: All of us? Even my girls?

Kion: Yes. Even your girls.

Vitani: Okay. Lion Guard. You heard my lo... You heard Kion. Let's go.

Before leaving, Vitani looks at Kion with a lovely smile. He looks at her with a lovely smile too.

Kion: May I take the lead this time?

Vitani: How about we both lead? Together. *smiling completely in love with him*

Kion: Sounds great. *kisses her cheek*

Vitani: *blushes a little* Let's go, my love.

They both lead the Guard, Reirei next to Kion as his wife.

Kion: Alright. Reirei and I will get Beshte and Fuli. Imara, you go get Rafiki.

Imara: As you wish, great leader. *smiling*

Vitani: What about us? We should talk to her together.

Kion: Yes. You, Shabaha and Tazama go to the old Lion Guard lair. She should be there.

Vitani: Ok, Kion. We wait for you at the entrance.

Kion: Thanks, Vi.

Vitani: You're welcome, Kion. Let's go, girls.

Before leaving, Vitani gives Kion a quick kiss on the lips.

Kion: *blushes* That's my girl.

Reirei: You know, Kion? Now I'm the one who's getting jealous. *kidding*

Kion: Hehe.

In Ardhi Zetu, Maalum is showing the lands to Yun Mibu.

Maalum: What are you thinking?

Yun Mibu: This is the most peaceful place I've ever been in. *smiling*

Maalum: Really? *surprised*

Yun Mibu: Honestly, yes.

Maalum: Aww... That's so sweet. *nuzzles him*

Yun Mibu nuzzles back and purrs softly.

Maalum: Yun Mibu. I'm so happy to have you here in Ardhi Zetu. *keeps nuzzling*

Yun Mibu: I'm so happy that you invited me to live here, Maal.

Maalum: This way we can spend more time together, honey. *kisses his cheek*

Yun Mibu: *blushes more* Oh! Hehe.

Maalum: Yun Mibu. You're the cutest leopard I've ever seen. *smiling sweetly in love*

Yun Mibu: You're the cutest hybrid I've ever seen, Maaly. *smiling completely in love*

Maalum kisses him softly and the clouded leopard kisses back.

Maalum: Mmmm... *shares tongue*

Yun Mibu: Mmmmmmmm~ *his tail moves happily*

Maalum plays with his tongue, purring. Yun Mibu plays with his tongue too, also purring. Then Maalum breaks the kiss slowly and looks at the clouded leopard with love.

Maalum: Oh Yun. I love you so much.

Yun Mibu: I love you too.

Maalum: Let's keep walking?

Yun Mibu: Yes. Let's keep walking. *wraps his tail with Maalum’s*

The hybrid purrs and walks, looking at Yun Mibu cutely as he does the same.

Meanwhile, in the Pride Lands, Kion arrives at the lair with Reirei, Beshte and Fuli. Imara and Rafiki are already there with the rest of the Guard.

Vitani: Kion. Finally. We're all here. Let's go inside?

Kion: Yes. Let's go.

Inside the cave, Kasi is training, running all around really fast. But, suddenly, she stops, feeling a little sting on her leg.

Kasi: Fuck. I hope this gets better tomorrow. I can't let that bitch win.

Everyone walks in.

Kasi: *upset* What's this? What are you all doing here?

Vitani: Kasi. We need to talk. *serious*

Kasi: I told you I won't stop training.

Kion: Kasi, please. Listen to Rafiki.

Kasi: Ok. But just because I want you all out of here and fast.

Rafiki: Kasi. You're putting yourself in danger. If you keep training like this, you'll end up paralyzed.

Kasi: What? That's not possible. I'm the fastest of the Pride Lands and I know I can be faster than that cheetah.

Fuli: Kasi. Please. I used to be like you. I was always trying to show how fast I could be. But I put too much effort in my legs and I got too tired to even walk. I almost died because of that. I know you don't want that to happen to you.

Kasi: *starts getting worried* Is... Is that true, Kion?

Kion: Yes. That's true.

Kasi: *sits down, sad* No. That... That can't happen to me. I... I know I can be faster.

Rafiki: Kasi. It's going to end up happening.

Vitani: I want you back in the Guard, but I can't have you there with you paralyzed.

Fuli: You don't need to be faster than me. You're the fastest in the Pride Lands. You're in the Lion Guard. You don't need to prove anything to me. I won that race last year, but I was very impressed with your speed. Please. Don't hurt yourself.

Reirei: We all want your best.

Kion: They're right, Kas.

Kasi: *serious, sad, worried* I... I need to stay alone.

Rafiki: Ok. *to everyone else* Come on, everyone. Let's go outside.

Everyone leaves and Kasi stays inside, thinking about what's happening.

Vitani: Kion. Do you think she will stop?

Kion: Judging her reaction, I think she will.

Vitani: I hope you're right. Now we need to finish our patrol. Tell us if she makes a decision.

Kion: Will do. Rafiki, Fuli, Beshte and I will stay.

Fuli: No, Kion. You heard her. She wants to be alone. She needs some time to think. Believe me. I know that. *smiling*

Kion: Ok, Fuli. *smiling* But I want to be nearby.

Fuli: If that makes you feel better, ok. I think I will visit some friends. You wanna come, Beshte?

Beshte: Sure, Fuli.

Fuli: Ok. Let's go.

They leave. Now Kion is alone with Reirei and Rafiki.

Kion: Let's go up to Pride Rock.

Reirei: A... Are you sure?

Kion: Yeah.

Reirei: Wow. *smiles big* I'm sorry. It's just... I'm still not used to this. Me in the Pride Rock...

Rafiki: Shwari, Reirei. You'll get used to it.

Reirei: Yeah. But just because Kion is with me. *smiles lovely at Kion*

Kion: *blushes* Let's go.

They start going up to the Pride Rock.

In Ardhi Zetu, Maalum takes Yun to his tree.

Maalum: Well. We're here. How can you live in a tree? Are you sure you don't want me to find a cave for you?

Yun Mibu: Hehe. I love living in a tree. They're more... comfortable. Plus I can hang on them. Like this... *hangs on the tree*

Maalum: Cool! You are really talented, honey. *smiling lovely*

Yun Mibu: *smiles and blushes* Thanks, my love.

Slowly, Maalum walks to Yun Mibu and kisses him.

Yun Mibu: *kisses back* Mmmmmmm...

(Maalum's kissing Yun Mibu like Mary Jane kissed Spider-Man in that iconic scene in the rain.)

Maalum: Mmmmm... *keeps kissing him with love, feeling his soft lips*

Yun Mibu purrs softly. After a long passionate kiss...

Maalum: Oh Yun. You're the most incredible leopard I know. *smiling completely in love*

Yun Mibu: You're the most incredible hybrid I know, Maalum. Rani and Kion are so lucky to be married to you.

Maalum: *blushes* Yun. I... I want to do something with you.

Yun Mibu: Huh? What is it?

Maalum: N-Not now. I need to go. Maybe we can meet tomorrow or another day. I don't know. I just... I want to show you a new way to seal our love. *blushing*

Yun Mibu: You want to... seal our love? *blushes*

Yun Mibu is still a virgin.

Maalum: I... I'll tell you then. But I promise you will like it. *smiling*

Yun Mibu: O-Ok.

Maalum: *nuzzles him* I love you so much, Yun Mibu. I really want us to be good mates.

Yun Mibu: *nuzzles back* I love you too, Maaly.

Maalum: *kisses his cheek* See you tomorrow, my love.

Yun Mibu: See you tomorrow.

Maalum leaves slowly, looking at him with a cute smile, totally in love. Yun Mibu looks at him the same way, still hanging on the tree.

Kion, Reirei and Rafiki walk into the Pride Rock's cave. Kiara is there with the cubs. Simba and Nala are out.

Rafiki: Hello, Queen Kiara. *smiling*

Kiara: *smiling* Oh. Hello everyone. What a good surprise.

Reirei is distracted. She's looking all around the cave with a happy face.

Kion: Hey sis. How are you today?

Kiara: Heh. I'm fine, Kion. Zazu told me his morning report a few minutes ago. It seems like everything is fine in the Pride Lands.

Kion: Well... Everything's fine now. I-

Rafiki: Ahem.

Kion: I mean, we had a problem earlier.

Kiara: A problem? *a little worried* What kind of problem?

Reirei is walking around the cave, looking everywhere and smelling everything while Kion tells Kiara about Kasi.

Kiara: Wow. I didn't know about that. I should have talked to Vitani before.

Now Reirei starts playing with the cubs.

Rafiki: Everything is fine now. We talked to her and she is thinking about what we said.

Kiara: Well. I hope she decides to do the right thing. The Lion Guard needs her and I need the Lion Guard.

Reirei keeps playing with the cubs.

Kion: I hope so too.

Kiara: *sees Reirei playing with the cubs* Heh. Are you seeing this, Kion?

Kion: *looks over* Hehe. Yeah. *smiling*

Kiara: *keeps talking to Kion* How are things going between you two?

Kion: Better than it was.

Kiara: Yeah. That's true. Are you happy?

Kion: Of course I am. *smiling*

Kiara: That's all I want Kion. You are my brother, so you are like... the second king. I mean... If I still have a king. *sad*

Kion: Kovu's been trying to get back to you, Kiara. He wants to be your king again even after all that stuff happened between you, him and dad. He misses you. He loves you.

Kiara: I love him too, but...

Kion: But... what?

Kiara: He left me alone with the cubs and the kingdom. He refused to talk to me. And now he came back like nothing had happened? I know I made a mistake, but he did worse. He needs to learn a lesson. He needs to understand that he hurt me a lot by leaving that way.

Kion: Why do you think he wants you back? He was going to live in Ardhi Zetu, for Mufasa's sake! He was clearly sorry for refusing to talk to you and for hurting you. Can you at least talk to your king?

Kiara: *sighs* Fine. I'll talk to him. But I don't know if I'm ready to accept him back. *serious*

Kion: You'll see, sis. *nuzzles her*

Kiara: *nuzzles back, purring* Thank you for your support, my love.

Kion: You're welcome.

Reirei: *screams* AAAAAAHHH!!!

Kion: Reirei?! *worried*

Kiata is biting Reirei’s tail.

Kiara: Oh no. Kiata! Stop biting Reirei's tail!

Kiata keeps biting.

Reirei: Aaah! She's young, but she has strong teeth.

Kion: *stern* Kiata! Stop biting Reirei's tail!!

Kiata leaves her tail, walking back to her siblings, feeling ashamed.

Kiata: I was just playing.

Kion: I know, sweetheart. But you need to control your strength. Heh. I bit your mother's tail all the time when I was your age. *nudges Kiara*

Kiara: Yeah. That's something I would like to forget.

Reirei is licking her tail.

Kion: *to Reirei* You ok, honey?

Reirei: Yes, Kion. My tail is just a little sore. I'll be fine.

Kiara: *a little upset* Kiata. Go apologize to Reirei.

Kiata: But mooom...

Kiara: NOW!

Kiata: *walks sadly and cutely to Reirei* I'm sorry, Reirei.

Reirei: It's okay, cutie. I know you didn't bite me on purpose. *smiles and nuzzles Kion and Kiara’s daughter, who starts purring*

Kion looks at both Kiata and Reirei with a smile.

Zazu: Your Highness. *walking in* Do you know where...? *sees Kion* Oh. Forget it. Prince Kion. The fastest of the Pride Lands wishes to talk to you.

Kion: Ok, Zazu. I'm headed to her now.

Zazu: She's waiting for you in the Lion Guard's lair.

Kiara: Zazu. Before you leave, I want to ask you something.

Zazu: I am here to serve you, Queen Kiara.

Kiara: If you see Kovu, tell him I want to talk to him.

Zazu: You can count on me, your majesty. I will send your message to the king. See you around, Prince Kion.

Kion: See you around, Zazu.

Zazu leaves.

Kiara: *to Kion* Well. I think you need to go.

Kion: Alright. I'll see you later, sis. *nuzzles her*

Kiara: *nuzzles back* See you later, little brother. *then to Reirei* And see you too, Reirei. It's always a pleasure to have your presence at Pride Rock. *smiling*

Reirei: Wow. I'm still getting used to this.

Kiara: Heh. You better get used to it. Since you are Kion's wife... You are family now.

Reirei: *to Kion* Kion. Let's go, before I pass out.

Kion: Heh. Ok, my love. Let's go.

Kiara: Rafiki. Everything is fine here. You can go if you have something to do.

Rafiki: Ok, your majesty. Let ol' Rafiki know if you need anything.

Kiara: I'll tell you. Asante. *smiling*

Rafiki: Hakuna matata. *smiling*

Kion, Reirei and Rafiki leave.

In Ardhi Zetu, Maalum walks into Mama Binturong's den.

Maalum: Mama! Are you there?

Mama: Yes, dear. I'm here.

Maalum: *walks to her with a smile* Hi. How are you feeling now that you are living here?

Mama: I'm loving it here, Maaly. *smiling*

Maalum: That's good. I want you to show some places in Ardhi Zetu. You wanna come? *smiling*

Mama: Of course, dearie. I missed our time together.

Maalum: Heh. Yeah. Me too. Come with me.

Mama: Ok.

They both leave her den.

In the Pride Lands, Kion and Reirei walk into the lair. Kasi's there, waiting for Kion.

Kasi: Kion. I'm glad you came. Oh. I see you decided to bring your wife with you.

Kion: Did you think about what we said?

Kasi: Yeah. I... I made a decision.

Kion: What's your decision.

Kasi: I don't want to race anymore. And... I will stop with my extra training. *talking sadly*

Kion: That's good to hear.

Kasi: And... I also want to say... I'm sorry. I was a real bitch with you. And everyone else.

Kion: I forgive you, Kasi. You need to apologize to everyone else too.

Kasi: I know. I will do that. Reirei. Since you are here, I want to tell you I'm really sorry for screaming at you. You were just trying to help me.

Reirei: It's okay, Kasi. Like Kion, I also forgive you.

Kasi: Thanks, Reirei. You too, Kion.

Kion: You're welcome, Kas.

Kasi: *still sad* I just wanted to show everyone that I can be faster. I lost that race last year and everyone saw how slow I was.

Kion: Kasi, listen. You put way too much confidence in yourself and your speed. You're amazing just the way you are. Fuli's a cheetah and you know that. Forget about that race with Fuli. Your guard still won.

Kasi: *looks at him, still sad* But everyone will think I am weak and slow now. I shouldn't stay in the Guard. I'm not the fastest. I'm the slowest. *very sad*

Kion: *gets closer to her* You should stay in the Guard. I've seen your work in the past, even before your excessive training. You're still the fastest in my eyes. And in Vitani's eyes. *nuzzles her*

Kasi: *starting to feel better* You really think that?

Reirei watches with a smile.

Kion: I know that.

Kasi: *smiling* And you think I am better than Fuli, right?

Kion: Yes.

Kasi: *hugs him tightly* I knew it.

Kion hugs back. After some time hugging, Kasi looks at Kion with the beautiful smile she used to show him before.

Kasi: I think I just needed your support, my love. I'm feeling really good right now.

Kion licks her snout.

Kasi: *purrs* Hey. You're living in the Pride Lands now, right?

Kion: Yeah?

Kasi: That's great. I want to spend more time with you. Especially now, after all this situation, I really want to have your company. What do you think about spending a good time with me tomorrow?

Kion looks at Reirei with a smile.

Reirei: *thinking* Here we go again.

She's not happy, but she doesn't show him that, so she smiles back.

Reirei: You can do it.

Kion: Thanks, hun.

Kasi and Kion walk over to Reirei and Kion kisses her cheek.

Reirei: Yeah. You're welcome.

Kasi: I think I'm going to talk to Vitani now. Thank you for listening to me, Kion. *smiling*

Kion: You're welcome, Kasi. *smiling*

Kasi: And I will not run to her. *winks*

Kion keeps smiling.

Kasi: See you tomorrow, my love. *leaves*

Reirei: Ok. Now what?

Kion: We spend the rest of the day together, beauty.

Reirei: Hehe. Okay. Where do you want to go?

Kion: I was about to ask you the same thing, babe.

Reirei: Um... You decide. You know the Pride Lands better than me.

Kion: Hmm... I hear Timon and Pumbaa are back, so let's go to the Falls.

Reirei: Sounds great. I'm very curious about those two.

Kion: Alright. Let's go.

They leave the cave.

After walking a little, Anga lands close to them, making both stop.

Anga: Hey, Kion. Reirei.

Kion: Hey, Anga.

Reirei: Hello, Anga.

Anga: Kion. Can I talk to you a little?

Kion: Is it important? I'm kinda in the middle of something. *looks at Reirei with a smile*

Reirei smiles back.

Anga: It is important. Kion. I need your help with the Lion Guard.

Kion: Oh. Is anything wrong?

Anga: Yes. You said I could join Vitani's Guard, that I could help them. Well. I want you to talk to Vitani to see if I can start working with them tomorrow.

Kion: Ok. *looks at Reirei* Sorry hun. We'll go to the Guard first.

Reirei: *sighs* Okay. Let's go to them. *starting to get tired of this constant change of plans*

Kion: Alright. Let's go.

Anga: They're close to the Killio Valley.

Kion: Lead us there, Anga.

Anga: Ok, Kion. Follow me. *starts flying*

In Ardhi Zetu, Maalum is showing the lands to Mama Binturong.

Maalum: What do you think, Mama?

Mama: I'm loving it, dear.

Maalum: I knew you would like it. *smiling* I want you to feel at home in Ardhi Zetu.

Mama: I already feel at home.

Maalum looks at her, blushing a little. She smiles sweetly.

Maalum: *licks her cheek* You're very cute, especially when you are on the good side.

Mama: *blushes* I'm glad too.

Maalum: Come with me, cute lady. I want to show you more places.

Mama: Alright.

They keep walking. This time, Maalum is closer to her.

Meanwhile, in the Pride Lands, Kion and Reirei keep following Anga.

Anga: They're right there.

They go to the Guard, Anga landing close to Kion while Reirei stays a little back, just watching them. Kasi isn't there with the other lionesses.

Kion: *thinks* Where's Kasi? Hey, Vi. Can we talk?

Vitani: Oh. Hey, Kion. If you want to talk about Kasi, I already talked to her. She just left a while ago. I gave her a break for two days to rest.

Kion: Ah. Good. But I'm not here to talk about Kasi. I came here to talk to you about Anga.

Vitani: About... Anga? *confused*

Anga is a little nervous.

Kion: Yeah. She was kicked out of my Lion Guard back at the Tree of Life due to a... conflict. You've seen her work.

Vitani: Yeah. I know. She's really good... for a bird.

Now Anga is more nervous.

Kion: Yeah. I wanted to ask you... Can you let Anga work for you? In the Guard? She can be your eyes in the sky.

Vitani: Uh... I don't know if I can do that. We are not used to working with birds. Or any other creature.

Now Anga is a little sad.

Kion: Please? *kitten eyes* She can see even more from the sky than Tazama ever could.

Tazama: *upset* Are you telling me she's better than me?

Kion: No, Tazama. She can help you and the rest of the guard.

Vitani: Well... Ok. But I have a condition.

Kion: What condition?

Vitani: Tazama is the keenest of sight. Not Anga. Your friend can stay with us, but she will only act if necessary. My girls are more important than her.

Kion looks at Anga.

Anga: *not really happy, but...* Ok. I promise I will only do what you want. I will only work if you want.

Vitani: That's right. You're not part of the Guard, so you need to respect us. You won't work with us, you will work for us.

Anga: *sadly* I understand, Vitani.

Kion keeps watching. Reirei’s still watching back there.

Vitani: You can meet us tomorrow morning. Now it's getting late.

Anga: I promise.

Vitani: *gets closer to Kion* Kion. Thank you for helping, Kasi.

Kion: You're welcome, Vitani.

Vitani: You are always welcome to join us. You and I can work together as leaders if you want. *smiling*

Kion smiles back.

Vitani: *nuzzles him* You're a great lion, Kion. I love you.

Kion: *nuzzles back* I love you too, Vitani.

Vitani: Now it's time to go to rest after a hard day of work. See you tomorrow, Kion. *licks his cheek*

Kion: See you tomorrow, Vi.

Vitani: Anga. Tomorrow morning. Don't forget.

Anga: I won't.

Vitani: Ok. Let's go, girls.

They leave. Anga sighs sadly.

Kion: You ok, Angs?

Anga: This won't be as good as I thought. I can't do too much in the Guard if they will use me only if necessary.

Kion: You know she's a different leader than me. I did my best to get you in.

Anga: Yeah. I know. And thank you. *now she smiles a little*

Kion: You're welcome. *licks her cheek*

Anga: *starts to feel better* I love you, Kion. I really love you.

Kion: I love you too, Anga.

Anga: I promise you that I will do my best to help Vitani's Guard and I will be a good mate for you.

Kion: I know you will. *smiling*

Anga: *nuzzles him* See you tomorrow, my love.

Kion: *nuzzles back* See you tomorrow.

Anga leaves and Kion goes to Reirei who watched everything. Kion looks at Reirei with a smile.

Reirei: *she doesn't smile* Let's go to our den. It's getting late and it's a long walk to the den. *turns and starts walking*

Kion: Reirei... You're not happy? *worried about her*

Reirei: Oh. Yeah. Sure. *showing him a smile, but she's sad inside*

Kion is still worried.

Reirei: Let's... Let's just walk. We can visit the Falls another day. *keeps walking*

Kion: *sighs* Ok...

Sunset, almost night, in Ardhi Zetu, Maalum takes Mama Binturong back to her den.

Maalum: Did you like our walk?

Mama: I did.

Maalum: Good. I want to show you some other places, but now it's getting late and I should go back to my den.

Mama: *yawns* You're right.

Maalum: Hehe. Someone's tired.

Mama: Heh. Yeah.

Maalum: Well. I have something for you that will help you to sleep better. *smiling*

Mama: You do?

Maalum: *gets closer* Something like this. *kisses her*

She kisses back.

Maalum: Mmmmm... *keeps kissing*

Mama: Mmmmmm...

After a long kiss...

Maalum: You're so adorable, Mama.

Mama: *smiles and blushes* Hehe.

Maalum: Goodnight, popcorn lips.
