Sunlight shines into the lair of the Tree of Life, as Rani wakes up laying on Kion's chest. She looks over at Kion, currently in a very deep sleep. She gets up and stretches before she tries to wake him up. She leans over, then licks the side of his cheek. 

Kion wakes up with a quick inhale."Oh, morning, Rani," Kion says, rubbing his left eye.Rani giggles. "Morning cutie," Rani says as she kisses him.Kion breaks off after a second. "Huh, that's new," Kion says before pulling her back down.As they hold their kiss, Makini walks into the lair, but she's quick to stop in her tracks.Kion looks over at the mandrill as she is about to turn around and leave. 

"Oh. Morning Makini," Kion says, causing Rani to turn her head towards Makini."Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt anything," Makini says as she begins to back up."It's fine, Makini," Rani says as she jumps down from the rock. "Are the Night Pride still awake?" Rani asks."Oh, yes they are! They're down by the lake with Kiara and Kovu," Makini replies.

"Ah, perfect, I actually want to see how Kiara is doing," Kion says as he stands up and jumps down from the rock.Kion, Rani, and Makini walk out of the lair and down to the lake where the Night Pride sits, talking with Kiara and Kovu.

"Morning everyone," Kion says with the fattest smile across his face."Morning Kion," Kiara says as Kion and Rani sit with the group.

"You two enjoy yourselves last night?" Kovu asks before being nudged by Kiara.

"Eh, yeah, we had a good time," Kion says, smirking at Rani as she smiles back. "But uh, Kovu, I heard a roar from you last night, what's all that about?" Kion asks jokingly.

Kovu chuckles. "Ah it was nothing," Kovu replies, looking over at Kiara.

 "Ah it was nothing," Kovu replies, looking over at Kiara

"Sure," Kion says sarcastically."Morning everyone," Fuli says as she walks up with the rest of the Lion Guard."Morning, how was your guy's night," Kion asks as the Lion Guard sits down with the rest of the group."Oh you know, the good stuff," Bunga replies.

"I got to hang out with a bunch of cool animals," Besthe remarks.

"What about you Fuli?" Kion asks."Eh, I think you can already guess what I did."

"Yeah, spending time with Azaad huh?"

"Oh yeah," Fuli replies."Well, it's about time the Night Pride gets some rest," Surak adds."Of course, go and rest," Rani says." 

Kovu, do some exercise before you leave, we'll give you a herb to ensure you don't get any pain while walking back home," Nirmala says before she walks off with Surak.

"Alright. You two want to join me on this walk," Kovu asks, looking at Kion and Shido.

"Sure, I'm down," Shido replies.

"Maybe later, I actually got to go do something up at Cikha Escarpment," Kion says to both of them."Oh, what are you going to do up there?" Rani asks.

"I'm just going to ask Askari something about the roar."
