During their night of watching the stars, Kion and Jasiri had fallen asleep in each other's loving embrace. They woke up a few hours after the sun rose, Jasiri waking up a couple minutes before Kion. When Kion woke up, Jasiri rolled onto her back and lifted up her left back leg, reached out with her left forepaw and grasping her back left paw, and gave him a simple, yet sweet smile, wishing him a good morning. Kion smiled at Jasiri giving him a sexy pose and reached down, gently scratching her chest and than her belly. As Kion did so, Jasiri's other back leg soon started to kick out and her tail wagged.

Kion noticed this and decided to tease her about it.

"Wow Jasiri, I didn't take you for one who kicks out and wags their tail when someone scratches your chest and belly." Kion said.

"What? I don't kick when someone scratches me." Jasiri denied.

"Oh, then what do you call what you're doing?" Kion asked

"I'm doing it on purpose to amuse you." Jasiri lied.

"Hmm?" Kion mused.

Kion started to scratch a faster, which caused Jasiri's back right leg to kick out and her tail to wag more rapidly.

"Okay, fine! I kick out when someone scratches my chest or belly." Jasiri admitted.

"I knew it!" Kion said.

"Hay! It's not my fault it feels so good." Jasiri said.

Kion continued to scratch Jasiri and watch her kick out and wag her tail for a few minutes before letting her up and the two made their way to the volcano. They ate some oryx meat they had left over from the other night before they decided to take a patrol through the Outlands to keep an eye out for anything that required their attention. Before they could leave however, Madoa came up to them and encouraged them to spend the day together since it was just the day after their wedding while she took care of the Outlands. Jasiri tried to turn down Madoa's offer, but Madoa reminded her that it was also Kion's birthday. Reminded that it was Kion's birthday and that his birthday last year had been a horrible one with confronting Rani and the fight between him and Janja, Jasiri couldn't help but feel like she had to take the day off to make it special for Kion.

Jasiri told Madoa that she and Kion would spend half the day alone together and would meet up with her to visit Pride Rock later. Madoa agreed and wished her sister and lion brother-in-law a good day. So, Kion and Jasiri went into the savannah to spend most of the day together. They soon came across a watering hole that nobody was drinking at. Looking at the watering hole, Kion saw that it was big enough to swim in and it had an overhanging rock that served like a diving board.

He challenged Jasiri to beat him to dive into the water from the rock, immediately taking off, not hearing her say it wasn't a good idea. Kion got on top of the rock and jumped off into the water and swam around for a little bit before suddenly getting a pain in his side. Jasiri helped Kion out of the water, saying that she was trying to tell him that swimming wasn't a good idea since they had eaten not even a half hour ago. Jasiri than massaged Kion's side to ease the cramp, which helped. Before moving on, they decided to get a quick drink from the small watering hole.

They drank in silence for a few moments before deciding to move on, well, at least Kion started to. As he walked away, he soon noticed Jasiri wasn't following him. He looked back to see that she was still drinking. He went to go sit by her until she was done, but as soon as he got close enough, Jasiri suddenly turned around and squirted water into Kion's face. Startled, Kion gave a small shout of surprise while Jasiri laughed her head off, saying she had been waiting months to do that.

Kion looked at the water and grinned mischievously at the thought of revenge. Kion used his paw to slap water into Jasiri's face, drenching her mane, causing it to fall into her eyes. Moving her mane out of her eyes, Jasiri tried to get revenge back on Kion, but he pointed out that they were even since they got each other once. Their little prank on each other over, the two headed back into the savannah, running around for a while, doing stuff to entertain themselves or just talking. After doing so for about two hours, they decided to head back to the small watering hole to swim.
