It seemed to be a slow week with nothing interesting going on, so everyone agreed it would be nice to get out of town for a little while, and they soon decided to go to Pride Rock since Estelle had some dreams about the African jungle, and it had been a while since they last visited since that was when Kion and the others became apart of The Lion Guard, but unlike her last dream, it had a nightmare in the end as there seemed to be a certain evil lion involved. Estelle smiled as she dreamt about being a lion cub in the Pride Lands with Kiara, Zuri, and Tiifu again. They seemed to all play together, and they ran off together until they heard an evil laughter which made them all freeze suddenly.
"W-Who just laughed?" Estelle shivered.
"Ah... A little lioness cub who seems unlike the others..." The voice smirked to her. "You remind me very much of these visitors who came into my brother's pride almost 20 years ago~..."
"No way... S-S-S-S-S-Scar?" Estelle gulped.
"You're a smart little one, aren't you?" The voice smirked as a pair of green eyes came out to her.
"It is you!" Estelle yelped as she stepped back. "But... You're dead... Mom and Dad told me what happened to you when Uncle Simba became the next Lion King of Pride Rock."
"Oh, I am dead." Scar smirked.
"Then how are you here?" Estelle gulped.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Scar smirked to Estelle. "Little does anyone know, I'll be brought back in a very special way with the use of a very special tool."
"You won't be," Estelle glared, trying to be brave. "I'll stop you and whoever is helping you! I'll bet it's those nasty hyenas!"
"Nope, I'll give you a hint though: I used to have the same special gift that a certain lion cub has." Scar smirked.
"Kion?" Estelle frowned as this was getting scary and intense, especially since she was talking to Scar.
"Indeed, although he uses it out of anger after one of the hyenas threatens him." Scar smirked.
"Th-That won't happen!" Estelle replied. "You won't be set free, Scar, especially after what you did to Mufasa!"
"Oh, don't worry, I can only appear in fire." Scar told her evilly.
"No! NOOOO!" Estelle cried out.
Scar laughed to her in a rather evil way.
"No! Stop! Leave Pride Rock alone!" Estelle cried out in her sleep, and since she had the crystal powers like her father, this caused crystal spikes to form out of fear.
Mo soon woke up and rushed to her daughter, and gasped to the spikes, and rushed quicker before coming to her daughter. "Estelle, wake up! Wake up!" she then told her. "It's Mom!"
Estelle soon woke up and soon saw the crystal spikes and started to do her best to calm down from her nightmare.
"Oh, sweetie, are you okay?" Mo frowned.
Estelle frowned back before hugging her mother right away. "Not really."
"Did you have a nightmare?" Mo frowned.
"Uh-huh, although I'm not sure." Estelle frowned back.
"Tell me what happened." Mo said.
"Well... All right..." Estelle said, taking a deep breath. "I was in Pride Rock with Kiara, Zuri, and Tiifu, and it was a lot of fun, but then, I heard a scary voice."
"A scary voice?" Mo asked.
"Yeah, and the voice was a male voice." Estelle said.
"Hmm..." Mo paused. "I'm not sure who it could be... You said Pride Rock, right?"
"Yes, Mom." Estelle nodded.
"Hmm... Well... Hmm..." Mo replied. "All I can think of you might've heard was either those hyenas, or, it seems unlikely, but Scar himself."
"It was!" Estelle told her.
"That's strange, and a bit scary..." Mo frowned.
Estelle soon hugged her mother again as Scar scared her in her sleep somehow.
"Well, don't worry, he's gone and is never coming back." Mo soothed.
"Promise?" Estelle frowned.
"I promise, sweetie," Mo comforted. "There's no way he could possibly come back, especially after what your Uncle Simba did to save Pride Rock."
"Yeah, you're right," Estelle smiled. "It must have just been a nightmare and nothing else."
Mo walked off for a moment and came back with some warm tea with honey.
"Thanks, Mom." Estelle said as she sipped the tea.
"That should give you sweet dreams now," Mo smiled back. "It's exciting to visit Pride Rock every once in a while."
"It sure is." Estelle smiled back after sipping the tea.
Mo smiled to that.
"Uh, Mom?" Estelle asked. "Can you stay here? ...At least until I fall asleep?"
"Of course, kiddo." Mo smiled as she stayed there.
"Thanks." Estelle smiled back.
"No problem, sweetie." Mo smiled back.
Estelle then set the cup down for a little bit.
"Ah, Estelle, we're going to have lots of fun in Pride Rock," Mo smiled. "I just know that Akito's gonna love seeing the Lion Guard again."
"Why wouldn't he?" Estelle smiled back.
"I know that Kiara will be happy to see you and Felicity again." Mo smiled.
"Yeah, that's true." Estelle smiled back.
"And I'm sure she's been a great sister to Kion now after our last visit." Mo said.
"Yeah... I'm sure she has, Mom..." Estelle smiled, sounding sleepy now. "Especially with Kopa."
"Yeah, he really seemed like he was a perfect big brother." Mo smiled back.
"Mm-hmm..." Estelle smiled while yawning a bit. "You, Dad, and Aunt Cherry had fun there?"
"We sure did." Mo smiled back as she tucked Estelle in, seeing that she was getting sleepy.
And where before she knew it, Estelle was fast asleep.
"Good night, sweetheart." Mo smiled as she kissed her on the forehead.
Estelle smiled back in her sleep as Mo soon left her alone for the rest of the night.
Soon enough, the next day came.
"Estelle, I had a bad feeling last night," Akito said. "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine now, Kito, it was just a bad dream." Estelle told her twin brother.
"By any chance, did it have anything to do with Scar?" Akito asked.
"You had the same nightmare?" Estelle frowned.
"Yeah, I dreamt I was with Kion and the other Lion Guard, and he just showed up, and said that he would come back somehow." Akito replied.
"He told me the same thing while I was with Kiara, Tiifu, and Zuri." Estelle replied back.
"What about you, Vincent?" Atticus asked. "Any dreams?"
"I just dreamt about hanging out with Kopa," Vincent shrugged. "Nothing like that though."
"Well, they are twins, and they tend to feel each other's pain and sickness." Mo replied.
"That's true." Atticus nodded.
"Do you think our dreams mean anything?" Akito asked.
"I'd ask your aunt when we get to Pride Rock." Mo suggested.
"Right." The Fudo twins nodded in agreement.
They soon continued to eat their breakfast, and after they were done, Mo washed the dishes, and where they were on their way to meet up with Cherry, Forte, Felicity, and Simon. Felicity, Chip, and Gabrielle looked up into the tallest tree of the forest by Belle and Adam's castle grounds as Simon was climbing up without any fear, and didn't even look down.
"How can he not be afraid?" Chip asked.
"I'm pretty sure my brother was born without fear." Felicity replied.
"He's still going!" Gabrielle gasped.
"Is he ever going to stop?" Chip asked.
Simon soon came to the very top, and held out his hands, waving down to them.
"Okay, Simon, that's impressive, but please come down before you hurt yourself!" Felicity called out to her little brother.
Simon soon took out some rope and tied it around his waist, and to the tree top, and soon swooped down like a double agent.
"Not like that!" Felicity panicked.
Gabrielle covered her eyes while Felicity cupped her mouth and Chip covered his ears. Simon soon came down safely on the ground and looked up at the older kids who stared at him.
"He sure is something." Felicity said.
"Yeah, he really is..." Chip said. "Uh, Felicity, how long are you gonna be gone with your family?"
"I'm not sure," Felicity shrugged. "We're going to Pride Rock."
"Well, just stay safe, okay?" Chip asked.
"I promise." Felicity smiled.
Chip smiled back and soon hugged her. Gabrielle smiled to that as she helped Simon up to his feet.
"I'll see you around." Felicity told her best friends.
"See ya around, Felicity." Gabrielle smiled.
"Come on, Simon." Felicity told her little brother.
Simon then went to follow her as they left the castle grounds as it was time for another visit into Pride Rock, but this visit wouldn't be an ordinary visit as it would indeed involve Scar even if they wouldn't know about it. Eventually, everyone met up together, and they made their way to Pride Rock as it was one of their usual vacation spots like in Enchancia or Atlantica. Once they got there, it seemed to be busy in the Pride Lands for Kion and his friends.
