"Let's jump in!" Jax shouted. They all ran in. "Ok who's it first?" Alinta asked. "I will," Rani offered. She closed her eye's, "Marco!" "Polo!" Everyone shouted. She swam to the voices. Kion whispered in Lux's ear," I've got an idea," he swam to Rani, smirking. "Marco!" Rani shouted. "Polo!" Everyone but Kion shouted. Kion swam behind her. He smirked. Kion grabbed Rani's shoulders. He plunged her under the water. Rani splashed around. Kion let her up. Rani bursted out of the water. She gasped for breath. Kion laughed. Rani looked at him, "Really Kion!" "Yes really! That was hilarious!" Kion laughed uncontrollably. Rani grabbed Kion's shoulders and brought him under. Kion gasped. Rani kept holding him under. Kion was running out of breath. He tried clawing at Rani, but he couldn't find her. Kion lost his breath. Rani let him up. Kion burst out of the water. "Rani! You almost killed me!" He shouted. "Oh I'm sorry tough guy," Rani smirked at him. Kion looked at Rani. "Why are you calling me 'tough guy'?" Kion asked. "Because you are always acting strong and tough, but your not," Rani mocked. Kion growled, but in a playful way. "Get this!" Kion pushed Rani into the water. Rani pulled him under with him. They had a play fight under the water. They rose back up. "So what happened to Marco Polo?" Jax asked. Lux nudged him. "What?" Jax asked. "Let them be," he smirked. "Ohhh," Jax realized what Lux was talking about. They went back to watching.

Rani pushed Kion away. Kion floated back. He swam back and brought Rani under. Rani came back up. "Oh Kion, your it!" Everyone, swim away from Kion!" Rani shouted. They all swam away from him. Kion went for Lux. Kion put him under. "Gotcha!" Suddenly, there was something in the trees that was coming towards them. "What is that?" Risa asked. "I don't know," Rani replied. Then, a huge bear jumped out and roared at them.

Kion swam to the bank, and stood there. He roared back at the bear. "Kion what are you doing!" Lux shouted. Kion didn't answer, he kept growling at the bear. The bear pinned him down with one paw, and slashed down his stomach. Kion roared in pain. Kion used all his strength and got the bears paw off him. There was blood all over Kion's golden fur. Kion roared the bear away, and clasped to the ground. "KION!" Rani screamed.

She ran up to him. Kion was breathing, but barely, his eyes were open. "Help me stop the bleeding!" She ordered. Rani started to cry. Lux, Jax, Cyrus, Liv, Alinta, and Risa all looked for leaves. They found a bunch, and brought them back. They put then on Kion. Rani wouldn't stop crying. Risa was confused on why she was crying. She walked up to her, "Rani why are you crying? He's going to be fine." "I like him ok!" Rani shouted through tears. Everyone was shocked, except Lux. "Please don't tell him," Rani begged. Everyone nodded and went back to helping Kion.

Kion woke up. "Guys he's up!" Jax shouted. Everyone ran to him. "My whole body hurts," Kion complained. "Here, let's get you in the water," Lux carried Kion in. "Thanks." "NO problem," Lux smiled. Kion relaxed in the water for a bit, the others joined him, but not Rani. "Rani, join us," Alinta said. Rani shook her head. Alinta shrugged. "Any one want food?" Cyrus asked. "Me!" Kion yelled. "I'll get it," Rani sighed. Liv stopped her, "No you wont," She whispered in her ear, "Sit next to Kion," Then Liv ran off to get food. Rani walked to the river and sat down next to Kion. She had to admit, it was pretty nice.

Liv came back with a zebra. "Nice catch babe!" Lux said. Liv kissed him. Kion grimaced, "UGH why!"

 Kion grimaced, "UGH why!"

Everyone laughed. "Kion you are such a cub," Risa joked. "And I'd like to stay one," Kion smirked. Everyone giggled. "Let's eat," Jax said. They all ran to the zebra and started eating.

Kion licked his muzzle. "Hey Kion, you still have some on your face," Rani giggled. "Where?" Kion asked. Rani pointed to a spot on her face, "Here." Kion licked there. "Not there, here," Rani pointed to another place. Kion licked there, "Did I get it?" He asked. Rani laughed, "No." "What!" Kion shouted. Rani walked up to him, and licked his cheek, "There." Kion was shocked. A lioness had never licked his cheek before. Everyone giggled. Rani backed away. Lux walked up to Kion and whispered in his ear, "She likes you." Kion just stood there, frozen. "So Kion, Rani, is there anything we should know about," Liv joked. "N-No," Kion stampered. Rani nodded. "I think you are lying," Alinta replied. "We're not lying!" Kion shouted. Alinta, Risa, Rani, and Liv backed away in fear. Kion realized he was yelling, "Sorry guys." "Your fine," Rani smiled at him. Lux nudged Kion.
