SEASON 5, EPISODE 19: SUPPORTING MY LOVE

After leaving the lair, Maalum and Kion are walking to the Outlands.

Maalum: So... How are things going between you and Janna?

Kion: Things are good, but Dogo isn't happy with me. In fact... he hates me.

Maalum: What? But Janna is still mates with him, right?

Kion: Yeah.

Maalum: Then why is Dogo mad at you?

Kion: Because he thinks that I'm stealing Janna from him.

Maalum: Wow. That's... Tough. I just don't know what to say.

Kion: I know.

Maalum: So I heard you went to the Backlands today. You're officially king of the Backlands?

Kion: Yup. *gets nervous*

Maalum: *notices his nervousness* You don't seem to be very happy. What's wrong?

Kion: I need you to stay calm and to not tell Rani.

Maalum: *stops* Kion. What happened? *very serious*

Kion: Jan and I had an encounter with Mapigano, the leopard.

Maalum: A leopard? What about that leopard?

Kion tells him what happened.

Maalum: WHAT?! *furious* Take me to him! I'm gonna kill that monster!

Kion: Shwari, Maalum. Mapigano isn't an easy leopard like Badili and Makucha.

Maalum: Grrrr... He was seducing my daughter!

Kion: I know he was seducing her, but I protected her like a good lion should.

Maalum: *calming down* Yeah. You did. Please. Keep protecting my daughter. I know how important you are to her.

Kion: You know I will, Maal.

Maalum: I know. Now... Do you know where we are going to sleep?

They're already in the Outlands.

Kion: *spots Janja's old den* Over there.

Maalum: *follows him into Janja's old den* Nice. I almost forgot how comfortable this place can be. *smiling*

Kion: Hehe. It even still smells like him.

Maalum: *sniffing* Yeah. I know. But I prefer other animal's scent. *smirks*

Kion: Awwe honey.

Maalum: *smiling completely in love with Kion, walks closer* I missed you so much, my love.

Kion: I missed you too.

Maalum starts kissing him softly.

Kion: Mmmmmm... *kisses back*

Maalum: Mmmmm... *keeps kissing him softly, enjoying his perfect lips*

Kion starts purring. Maalum’s tongue slides into Kion’s mouth when he also starts purring. Kion’s paw rubs the hybrid’s cheek.

Maalum: Mmmm... *tongue kissing, purring, his tail wagging cutely with love*

Kion slowly starts laying Maalum on his back.

Maalum: Mmmmm~ *keeps kissing the lion with pure love and his paws hug his neck slowly and softly*

The lion does the same. They’re wrapping tongues and tails.

Kion: Mmmmmmmmmm...

Maalum breaks the kiss slowly, smiling at Kion completely in love.

Kion: Oh Maal...

Maalum: Kion... It was really hard to stay far away from you. But you were always in my mind.

Kion: Same here, my golden fluffy love.

Maalum licks his cheek slowly with love. Kion purrs sweetly.

Maalum: *keeps licking his cheek with love* Mmmm. Honey~

Kion: Mmmmmmmmmm... baby~

Maalum: *stops licking* Kion, honey. You're everything to me.

Kion: You're everything to me too. My one true love.

The hybrid leans his head, touching Kion’s snout with his, so cutely and with a lot of love.

Maalum: Let's enjoy our time together while we can. My king. *big lovely smile*

Kion: I would love that, babe.

Maalum starts kissing Kion again, while hugging him.

Maalum: Mmmmm... *tongue kissing again*

Kion: Mmmmmmm~

They start mixing salivas, the hybrid’s paws rubbing the lion’s neck, including the red mane he has growing there. Kion’s dick is getting hard.

Maalum: Mmmmm... *keeps like that, now purring a lot*

Kion slowly breaks the kiss.

Maalum: Aah... Honey. You're perfect. *cute smile completely in love*

Kion starts kissing his neck.

Maalum: Mmmm... Yes, honey. Keep doing that. *smiling lovely*

Kion: Mmmmm~ *keeps kissing his neck*

Maalum: Aaahh... *relaxing, enjoying the kisses, but his dick is also getting hard*

Kion kisses Maalum all the way down to his dick.

Maalum: Mmmm... Ooh yes. *totally hard*

Kion: Heh. I see you have a present for me~

Maalum: Heh. It's all yours, my love.

The lion gives it a loooooooong and sloooooowww lick.

Maalum: Mmmm~ Oooooooohhhhh... Ffffuuuuuuuck~ *moans*

Kion: Mmmmmmmm~ *keeps licking*

Maalum: Ooohh. That tongue... *keeps moaning*

Without warning, Kion starts sucking it.

Maalum: Mmmm yeah. That's it.

The lion sucks harder.

Maalum: Ooh ooh. Those lips. Mmmmmm...

Kion rubs Maalum’s soft balls while sucking his dick.

Maalum: Oooohhh Kiooon... Mmmmm...

Kion can taste Maalum’s pre while the hybrid’s fluffy tail hugs the lion’s sexy body. Kion rubs the hybrid’s dick with his tongue.

Maalum: Aaaahh fuuuck. I really missed you. *his dick starts swelling*

The lion sucks harder than ever.

Maalum: Ooohhh. Kion! I can't... Mmmmmmm... *cums really hard, a loooooot of his hybrid cum comes out of his dick*

Kion: MMF!~ *his mouth gets filled almost instantly*

Maalum: Ooohhh... *cumming just a little more*

Kion swallows it.

Maalum: Mmmmm... Aaah... *panting*

Kion: I missed your cum~ *some of it got on his face*

Maalum: Hehe. It's good to hear that from you. *smiling*

Kion smiles lovely.

Maalum: Come closer, my love.

The lion gets closer. Maalum hugs Kion again and starts licking his face slowly, tasting his own cum. Kion purrs. Maalum keeps licking the lion’s face, even after he has cleaned off his own cum.

Kion: Oooohh babe~

Maalum starts licking Kion’s lips. The lion can feel how wet the hybrid’s tongue is.

Kion: Mmmmmmmm~ *purring*

The hybrid’s wet tongue starts going into the lion’s mouth.

Kion: Aah~ *opens his mouth*

Once again, the hybrid’s tongue starts playing with the lion’s. Kion does the same. Maalum purrs and tongue kisses while hugging Kion. The lion rubs Maalum’s hair.

Maalum: Mmmmm... *wrapping tails again*

Kion: Mmmmmm~

Maalum keeps like that for a while as Kion keeps rubbing his hair.

Maalum: *breaks the kiss* Aaah... Oh Kion. You're really my true love. *kisses his cheek*

Kion’s dick touches Maalum’s ass.

Maalum: Mmmm... Honey... *looks at him with a very cute smile*

Kion: You ready to feel me again?~

Maalum: I'm always ready for you, fluffy mane. *licks his cheek sweetly*

Kion: Alright~ *slowly slides his dick in the hybrid’s tight, sexy ass*

Maalum: Mmm aaaaahh~ *moans cutely, feeling Kion’s rough dick rubbing his soft walls*

Kion: Oooohhh babe~

Maalum: Mmmmm... *hugs him a little tighter*

Kion starts thrusting hard.

Maalum: Aaahh. Aaah. Oh honey. Mmm... *keeps moaning and hugging him tightly*

Kion: Ooohhh. Ooohh baby~

Maalum: Aaah. Aaah. You're so good. Mmmm...

The lion starts kissing the hybrid’s cheek again while thrusting harder.

Maalum: Aaah. Mmmm Kion... *hugs him more tightly, moaning cutely*

Kion’s thrusting gets faster and harder.

Maalum: Aaaahhh! *moans more and louder* Aaahh fuck! *hugs him tightly with all his four legs*

Kion: Mmmmmmm~ *his pre leaks*

Maalum: Aaahhhh! Give me your cum, baby! *keeps like that*

The lion starts thrusting harder and faster.

Maalum: Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah~ *moans a lot with the lion’s amazing work*

Kion: Aaaahhh... I'm gonna.. *his dick swells*

Maalum: Aaah yes. Oh honey. Mmmm... Give me your best... Mmmm... Aaah. I want you so much. Mmmm...

Kion: Oooooooohhhh!!~

Maalum: Aaaaaahhhh!!~ *hugs Kion really tightly, his tail wrapping with his*

Kion cums super hard.

Maalum: AAAAAAHHH!!!~ *screams with pleasure when he feels Kion’s hot cum inside him*

Kion starts panting. Maalum pants too, smiling completely in love.

Kion: Heh. I can tell you missed me, honey~

Maalum: Aah. Yeah. I missed you so fucking much. *licks his cheek again*

Kion purrs.

Maalum: *after a lot of licks* Ardhi Zetu isn't the same without you there, my beautiful husband.

Kion: The Pridelands isn't the same without you here, my perfect husband.

Maalum: I would love to live with you again.

Kion: Me too.

Maalum: Why don't you come back with us to Ardhi Zetu?

Kion: I wish I could, but... you know... the problem with my dad...

Maalum: Yeah. You really have a lot of shit happening here.

Kion: Yeah...

Maalum: But don't worry. I know everything will be fine. Your plan will work. I know it will. *confident smile*

Kion: Thanks, Maaly.

Maalum: You're welcome. And Baliyo needs some time until he gets completely healed, so I will stay in the Pride Lands for a week, maybe two. We will have more time for ourselves. *nuzzles him*

Kion nuzzles back, purring.

Maalum: Let's go to sleep? Tomorrow you will have a hard day.

Kion: Yeah. Let's go to sleep.

Maalum: *hugs him softly, looking at him with love* I love you, Kion. Forever and ever.

Kion: I love you too, Maaly. Forever and ever.

Maalum starts resting on the ground with Kion’s sexy body warming his and falls asleep with a cute face, still hugging the lion. Kion kisses the hybrid’s cheek and falls asleep too.

Next morning, Kion wakes up first, hearing someone whispering.

Male Voice: These two are the cutest thing ever. Don't need to vote.

Kion: Huh? *yawns*

Mzingo: Oh. Sorry, Kion. We didn't want to wake you up.

Mwoga: Yeah. We were just watching.

Kion blushes and Maalum keeps sleeping.

Mzingo: You and Maalum are so cute together. Why are you living with Reirei?

Kion: Because I'm married to her. Why?

Mzingo: Oh nothing. I just think you should live with Maalum instead.

Mwoga: If you want, we can make an election. I vote for Maalum.

Kion: I don't think that's necessary, Mwoga.

Mzingo: Mwoga. Shut your beak up. *hits him with a wing*

Mwoga: Ouch!

Mzingo: Kion already decided to live with Maalum.

Maalum starts moving a little and Kion looks at him.

Maalum: Mmmmm... *starting to wake up*

Mzingo: That's your opportunity, Kion. Tell him you want to live with him.

Mwoga: Yeah. Tell him, Kion.

Maalum starts opening his eyes slowly.

Kion: Vultures... please...

Mzingo: Oh. Right. Mwoga. Let's go back to the Parliament Tree. These two need their privacy.

Mwoga: Oooh fine. *leaves*

Mzingo: *whispering* Tell him, Kion. *then leaves*

Maalum opens his eyes completely, looking at Kion’s pretty face.

Kion: Morning, honey.

Maalum: *yawns* Morning, cutie. *start looking around, a little confused*

Kion: Slept well?

Maalum: Yeah. But... I thought I was hearing someone else. *still confused*

Kion: Yeah. Mzingo and Mwoga were here.

Maalum: Mmm... The vultures? *still confused, because he still doesn't know them very well*

Kion: Yeah. The vultures.

Maalum: What did they want? Is everything okay?

Kion: Well... *tells him about the vulture’s suggestion*

Maalum: *blushing heavily, smiling big* Did they really say that?

Kion: Yeah. They did.

Maalum: And... What do you say about that? *keeps blushing, now a little nervous*

Kion: I say... I'll think about it.

Maalum: Oh. That's good. I would really love to have you back in Ardhi Zetu.

They nuzzle each other, purring.

Maalum: My love. Do you want to stay here for a while?

Kion: Yes.

Maalum: Mmmmm... *cuddles*

Kion purrs.

After some time, they start walking back to the Pride Lands. Kion needs to go to his sister because of his plan to save Simba. And Maalum...

Maalum: Honey. Is my daughter still living with Dogo?

Kion: Yeah.

Maalum: I want to see her. After what you told me last night, I'm really worried about her.

Kion: Alright, but I promised her I wouldn't tell you and Rani.

Maalum: Don't worry. I won't tell her I know what happened.

Kion: Ok. Let's go.

Maalum: What about your problem with Simba?

Kion: Maybe my brother can talk to Kiara today. *looks at the sky*

Maalum: Do you want me to go with you?

Kion: I would love that.

Maalum: *nuzzles him* I'll be there by your side, my love.

Kion nuzzles back.

After a while, they arrive at the jackals' place. They're walking to Dogo's den, but...

Bweha: Good morning, Kion. *walking to them with a smile*

Kion: Ah. Good morning, Bweha.

Bweha kisses Kion’s lips and Maalum just watches as the lion kisses back.

Bweha: *after the kiss* So... Did you talk to Reirei?

Kion: Yeah, I did. Until Simba tried killing me... again.

Bweha: *worried* Oh no! Kion! Are you okay? *nuzzles him*

Kion: *nuzzles back* Yeah. I'm fine. Maaly saved me. *looks at the hybrid*

Maalum: That's right. *smiling proudly*

Bweha: Thank you, Maalum. You saved my lovely mate. *licks Kion’s cheek*

Maalum: Uh... You're welcome. *starting to feel a little jealous*

Kion blushes.

Bweha: And... Did you talk to Reirei about me? Do you think she will forgive me?

Kion: After Simba tried killing me again, they left before I could tell her.

Bweha: Oh. *sad* I really want her to forgive me.

Kion: Give it time.

Maalum: He's right. She just needs time.

Bweha: Ok. I will try. But I really love her, Kion. You know that.

Kion: I know.

Maalum: Kion. Can we go?

Kion: Yes, Maal. We can go.

Bweha: Ooohh Kion. Don't go. I love your company. *nuzzles him again*

Kion: Me too, but my husband needs me.

Bweha: Ok. But... You'll be back, right? I didn't forget about your promise.

Kion: Right.

Bweha: Heh. I'll be waiting for you, my love. *kisses him again*

Kion: Mmmmm... *kisses back*

Bweha: *shares his tongue and hugs his neck* Mmmmmmm~

Kion does the same.

Bweha: Mmmmm... *keeps tongue kissing*

Maalum: Kion... *jealous*

The lion breaks the kiss.

Bweha: I love you so much, Kion. *smiling completely in love with him*

Kion: I love you too, Bweha.

Bweha keeps looking at Kion with that smile.

Maalum: Let's. Go.

Kion: I gotta go, Bweha.

Bweha: I'll be in my den, honey. *winks*

Kion: Ok, babe.

Bweha leaves, showing Kion his sexy ass, making him blush heavily.

Maalum: Kion. Please.

Kion: Huh? *looks at him* Ok, Maal.

Maalum: *sighs* It's okay. I know he's prettier than me.

Kion: Nah... You're prettier.

Maalum: Yeah right. *not convinced*

Kion kisses him passionately.

Maalum: Mmmmm. *surprised at first, but then kisses back*

Kion: Mmmmmmm~

Maalum rubs Kion’s cheek while kissing him. Kion shares his tongue.

Maalum: Mmmmm~ *plays with his tongue*

Kion starts purring.

Maalum: *breaks the kiss after a looooong time* Aaahh wow~

Kion: Told you, pretty boy~ 

Kasi: *from far away* HEY!

Maalum: I'll pretend I believe you. *joking* Now let's go talk to my daughter?

Kion: Yes. Let's go.

Dogo and Janna are already up when they walk in.

Dogo: What? *to Kion* Get the fuck out of my den! NOW!

Janna: *serious* No! He's my mate!

Dogo: He's not welcome here!

Janna: Yes, he is.

Dogo: No, he's not.

They're arguing. Kion looks at Maalum, worried. Then...

Kion: *roars* SHUT UP!!!!

They look at Kion and Maalum, surprised.

Maalum: Janna. Sweetie. I came here to talk to you.

Dogo: Good. So that lion can leave my den. *smiling*

Kion: I'm not leaving, Dogo.

Janna: *looks seriously at Dogo and then comes to her father* Dad. Is everything okay?

Maalum: That's what I want you to tell me. Are you okay?

Janna: *confused* Uh... Yeah. Why are you asking me that?

Dogo keeps looking at Kion very seriously.

Maalum: You're my daughter. I care about you. *smiling*

Janna: Yeah... Well. I'm fine. Kion is an excellent mate. I'm really happy with him. *looks at Kion completely in love*

Kion smiles at her and then looks at Dogo seriously.

Dogo: I'm not an invisible jackal, Janna. *upset*

Janna: Dogo. Shut up. We can talk after they leave.

Maalum: Did you like to visit the Backlands?

Janna: Yes, dad. The zebras are funny and nice. And those lands are very beautiful.

Maalum: So you loved all the time you spent there?

Janna: I uh... *looks at Kion, now a little nervous*

Kion: Yes. She did. The zebras' are so nice there.

She smiles, kinda like she was saying "thank you". Kion winks at her.

Maalum: Okay. I'm glad you're enjoying your new life here with Kion.

Janna: Absolutely. *very happy*

Maalum: *to the lion* Kion. Thank you for taking good care of my daughter. *smiling*

Janna: *serious* Daaaad.

Kion: You're welcome, Maaly.

Dogo: Yeah, yeah. Can you leave now?

Janna: Dogo! *very upset*

Maalum: It's okay, Janna. We gotta go. Kion has something important to do at Pride Rock. *to Kion* Right, honey?

Kion: Right. *kisses his cheek*

Maalum purrs a little.

Janna: Ooooh ok. See you later?

Kion: Yup. *to Maaly* Let's go, cute boy.

Maalum: *nuzzles her* See you later, Janna. Love you.

Janna: *purrs and nuzzles back* Love you too, dad.

Kion: *nuzzles her too* Love you, Jan-Jan.

Janna: Mmmm... *nuzzles back* I love you a lot, Kion.

Dogo: *starts pushing him* Leave. My. Den.

Kion: *glares at him* Ok, you little cock-blocker. I'll leave.

Maalum and Kion walk away.

Janna: DOGO! LET'S TALK! NOW!

Outside...

Maalum: Oh no. My daughter is exactly like my wife. Poor Dogo. Hehe.

Kion: Heh... Yeah.

Those two jackals come to Kion.

Jackal 1: Kion. We need to talk. *serious*

Kion: Is it about getting more room to live in? Reirei is with the queen. We're figuring it out.

Jackal 2: Yeah. We heard that excuse more than once.

Jackal 1: About three days ago you said you were going to find a solution with the queen. You promised us that you would find a new place for the pack.

Jackal 2: Yesterday we talked to Dogo and he said the same thing. But look at us. We're still here. Tired of all this shit.

The lion sighs.

Jackal 1: Not only us. The whole pack is feeling uncomfortable with this situation. You need to do something.

Jackal 2: But you and Reirei are always out and Dogo just doesn't care about us.

Maalum: Hey! That family has a lot of problems right now. Please. Give them more time. They will help you as soon as possible. I know that.

Jackal 1: *to the lion* Are you sure you and Reirei can help us?

Kion: Yes, I am sure!

Jackal 2: You have until tomorrow to make a decision. Or we will choose a new leader.

They start walking away.

Kion: Go to the Outlands.

Now they stop.

Jackal 1: What did you say?

Kion: Reirei and I talked and it would be best to occupy the hyenas’ dens.

Jackal 2: And do you think that's enough for the whole pack?

Kion: When both Janja and Jasiri's clans came together, they were bigger than us jackals. There is plenty of room.

Jackal 1: Alright. When can we move?

Kion: We can now.

Jackal 1: Now? Cool!

Maalum: Uh... Kion. Your father... You can't go to the Outlands now. Right?

Kion: Right. But the other jackals can go.

Jackal 2: So... Are you asking us to lead the pack while you and Reirei are out?

Kion: Dogo is gonna lead.

Maalum: Dogo? Are you sure?

Kion: Yes, I'm sure.

Jackal 1: Alright. Let's go talk to Dogo.

Jackal 2: Thank you, Kion.

Kion: You're welcome.

They leave.

Maalum: Wow, Kion. You are really a great leader.

Kion: Thank you, Maaly.

Maalum: *nuzzles him* Now let's go.

Kion: Ok, honey.

While they are walking to Pride Rock, they can see Simba and Reirei in the distance. They see Simba kissing Reirei's lips, but she's very sad. Kion looks at her, clearly worried and sad.

Maalum: *seeing his sad face* Don't worry, honey. It's almost over.

Kion: I know... I just hate seeing her that way. Especially with her being pregnant.

Maalum: I understand. But you need to be strong to give her your support. She will need it.

Kion: I will. Thanks, Maaly. *smiles*

Maalum: You don't need to thank me. I'm always here for you, my love. *kisses his cheek*

Kion purrs.

Maalum: Let's keep going.

Kion looks again and sees Simba screaming something to Reirei. Then she starts walking away completely sad. Kion sighs sadly.

They keep walking and, after a while, they walk into the Pride Rock's cave. Kiara sent Kovu out with the kids and now only Anga is with her.

Kion: Hmm. *looks around*

Anga: *going to him* Hey, Kion. *always happy to see him*

Kion: Hey, Anga. *smiling*

Anga: How are you doing, my love?

Kion: I could be better. But Maaly has been keeping me happy. *nuzzles the hybrid*

Maalum purrs and nuzzles back.

Anga: Wow. I'm really happy for you.

Kiara: Anga. Don't bother my brother.

Kion: *smiling at the martial eagle* Thank you, Anga.

Anga: I want the best for you. *smiling completely in love*

Kiara: *walking to them* Anga. Please. Leave my brother alone. Today will be a hard day for us.

Anga: *to Kion, feeling a little sad and ashamed* I'm sorry, Kion.

Kion: It's ok, Anga. But Kia is right.

Anga: Okay. I'll leave you. I think I will visit Hadithi.

Kiara: Anga. Please stay. *to her brother* Kion. I want her to help us if we need. What do you think?

Kion: I agree. *smiling*

Anga smiles.

Maalum: I'll stay with Anga back there.

Kiara: Thanks, honey.

Kion: Thanks, Maal. *kisses his cheek*

Maalum purrs and blushes a little, before going with Anga.

Kiara: I'm still not sure about this. What if dad gets mad at us instead of calming down? *worried*

Kion: Kiara. All we need to do is stay calm. Remember, dad's mind is being controlled by Scar.

Kiara: *sighs* Okay. I will try. *looks at the cave's entrance* Do you think he will come?

Kion: I told him to. If he doesn't I'll drag his ass here myself.

Kiara: Oh Kion. We were almost getting back to normal. You living in the Pride Lands, dad and mom were close again... I just want our family to be happy like we were in the past.

He kisses her cheek.

Kiara: At least you keep trying to help our family. *smiles a little*

Kion: That's my job, my love.

Kiara: Oh Kion. You always know how to make me feel better. *gets closer, smiling lovely*

Kion nuzzles her.

Kiara: *purrs and nuzzles back* I love you so much.

Kion: I love you too.

Simba: *walking in* Am I interrupting something?

Kion: No. Perfect timing.

Simba: *serious* Whatever. So. Why the heck did you call me here?

Kion: Dad. You're not acting like yourself.

Simba: What the fuck are you saying? I am Simba.

Kiara: *really worried* Dad. Please. Listen to us. You are acting like a monster. You tried to kill Kion. Your son.

Simba: HE'S NOT MY SON!

Kion: I am your son.

Simba: You are a big piece of shit who fucks everyone without thinking about the others. But it's okay. At least I can I fuck your sexy ex wife, hehe. That pussy is all mine now and you can't do anything about it. *smiling proudly, evilly, wanting to leave Kion mad*

Kiara is shocked.

Kion: *stays calm* I knew you would say that. That's why I asked someone for help.

Simba: Let me guess. Your fucking asshole husband? Hah. You're so weak that you need his help. *smiling*

Maalum's starting to growl a little, hearing that.

Kion: Nope. My brother.

Simba: Your... B-B-Brother? *very nervous*

Kion: Yes.

Kopa's spirit appears.

Kopa: Hey, dad. Remember me?

Simba: You... You... N-No. *closes his eyes, a little perturbed*

Kiara is smiling, crying a little with happiness by seeing her brother's spirit.

Kopa: Dad. You are being controlled by Scar. But I know you're still inside. Please. Think about your children: Kion, Kiara... Me.

Simba: *not looking at him, still very nervous* N-N-No. N-NOOOO! *pins Kion down hard, starting to strangle him* YOU MUST DIE!

Kiara: *tries to push him* DAD! *but he hits her hard* AAAH!

Kion pushes him off and then pins him hard.

Simba: FUCK! YOU HAVE TO DIE!

Kopa: Dad. Look at me.

Simba refuses to look. Kion forces him to look at Kopa with his paw on his face.

Simba: AAAAAHHH! *suddenly, starts calming down* I... I know you...

Kopa: I'm your son. Kopa.

Simba: K-K-Kopa? *starts smiling, crying a little* My son.

Kiara smiles big. Anga and Maalum are watching with a smile.

Kopa: It's okay, Kion. I think he's back. *smiling*

Kion lets his father go.

Simba: *getting up* Kopa. *now sad* I'm so sorry. I couldn't save you.

Kopa: It was my fault, dad. I walked alone into the Outlands because of Vitani. You're not responsible for what happened. Besides, I've been watching you all these years and I know how much you love me.

Simba: *smiling* Thank you, son. I will always love you.

Kopa: I'll always love you too, dad. *smiling*

Simba lays down, crying, now with happiness.

Kopa: Kion. Kiara. You need to help dad now. He will need your support.

Kiara: Sure, Kopa.

Kion: Alright, Kopa. Thanks for your help.

Kopa: Heh. You can call me any time, Ki-Ki. *disappears*

Simba: Kopa... *smiling*

Kiara: Dad?

Simba: *looks at her and Kion, a little confused* Kiara? Kion? What...? What happened? I... I talked to Mufasa and... Did you see Kopa?

Kion: Kopa helped us, dad.

Simba: I... I'm so confused. I feel like I did a lot of things I can't remember.

Kiara: That's because you were being controlled by Scar.

Simba: What? No. What happened?

Kion: It's a long story.

Simba: Wait. The last thing I remember... I... I talked to my father about... *looks at Kion, now serious*

Kion: Yeah... I know...

Simba: Kion. We need to have a serious conversation. But first, I need to rest. I feel so tired and... *goes to his place in the cave, laying down* We can talk later.

Kiara: Sure, dad. Everyone. Let's go outside.

Maalum and Anga: Ok, Kiara. *start leaving*

Kiara: Come on, Kion. Our dad needs to sleep.

Kion sighs and follows her.

Outside...

Kiara: *smiling* Dad's back.

Kion: *smiles a little* He's still mad at me though...

Kiara: Yeah. Scar controlled his mind, but not before he found out about you and grandma. It won't be easy for him to forgive you.

Kion: What about Reirei though?

Kiara: Well. Our dad is healed. I think everything can get back to normal. Right?

Kion: Right. I just need to see her.

Kiara: Heh. So what are you waiting for? Go to your jackal.

Kion: Alright. *starts walking*

Maalum: Honey. If you don't mind, I'll stay. I want to talk to your sister.

Kiara: Me?

Kion: Ok, Maaly. You're the best husband a lion could ask for. *kisses his cheek*

Maalum: *purrs and blushes* And you're the best husband a jackal-lion hybrid like me could ask for. *kisses his cheek too*

Kion blushes and purrs.

Maalum: Now go, love.

Kion: See you later, cutie~
