Kion forced himself to get up around noon time. Even though he was utterly exhausted from the previous day's events, he figured he'd ought to get up if he was ever going to get his sleep schedule back to normal. Slowly, he got to his feet, yawning and stretching out his whole body. He made his way out of his family's den and out onto Pride Rock. He smiled as he looked over the entirety of the Pridelands.

"It's a beautiful day," he told himself, "and I'm going to enjoy it."

In the distance, he could see his mother, father and sister Kiara heading off in the direction of Hakuna Matata Falls. He assumed they must be going to visit Timon and Pumbaa today.

"Looks like they left without me." he said, chuckling to himself.

Kion opted to try and find Fuli. He was so excited to tell her that his father had given them the ok to start dating. He headed to the Lion Guard lair where he knew Fuli would be sleeping. She had been awake almost as late as he had, and he had a feeling that she was probably still sleeping. Quietly, he tip-toed into the lair, scanning the area for his friend. He quickly spied Fuli, asleep, by the small pond in the lair's center. He didn't see any of his other fellow Lion Guard members. He figured they had probably gone out on patrol.

Getting very low to the ground, Kion slowly crept over to Fuli. He got as close as possible before springing into the air and playfully pouncing on her. This quickly woke Fuli up and she let out a squeal of surprise as her lion friend landed on top of her. She looked up at him, smiling.

"Good morning, cutie pie." she said in a flirtatious tone.

Kion smiled at her. He leaned down and affectionately licked her cheek.

"Morning, baby." he replied through a cute giggle.

Fuli's eyes widened and she raised an inquisitive eyebrow.

"So you're calling me baby now…" she said curiously, "That's new."

Kion nodded, and his smile grew wider.

"Fuli, I talked to my dad." he said excitedly wagging his lion tail, "He said we can be together."

Fuli shrieked in delight and flung her arms around Kion, pulling him on top of her.

"That's the best news ever, baby" she said through tears of joy.

Kion began to purr.

"See?" he said teasingly, "You're already getting used to calling me baby."

Fuli smiled and nuzzled her face under Kion's chin.

"I love you." she whispered to him as she began to rub her paws on his chest, "Now, what do you say we be a little bit naughty?"

This made Kion blush a deep shade of red, and he began to purr louder.

"Y-you mean you wanna?..." he said, trailing off his sentence awkwardly.

Fuli nodded.

"I want to, Kion" she said seductively, "I need to."

Kion smiled, and hesitantly got off of Fuli.

"I need it too, Fuli." he said sincerely, "I need it just as bad as you do, but I think we should wait until tonight."

Fuli thought for a minute, then sighed.

"I guess you're right." she said sounding a bit disappointed, "I just want you so bad, baby."

Kion slowly rubbed his strong body against Fuli and purred seductively.

"Well then, baby girl." he said in a low voice, "We can have loads of fun tonight, but in the meantime, how about a romantic lunch date?"

Fuli giggled and purred back at her friend playfully.

"Sounds lovely," she said with a big smile growing on her face, "What are we waiting for, handsome?"

The couple laughed and continued to purr and rub against each other's bodies as they walked out of the Lion Guard lair together. They walked out into the bright sunlight and Fuli allowed Kion to lead her into a thickly wooded area.

"Where are we going?" she asked, giggling.

Kion shot her a sly smile.

"You'll see…" he said in a rather mysterious tone, "We're almost there."

As much as Fuli wished she and Kion could be mating right now, she wanted to respect his wishes and wait until later in the evening. So she pushed her promiscuous thoughts aside for the time being in order to enjoy a nice lunch with her new mate.

"We're here!" Kion said joyfully.

Fuli looked around and smiled. They were in a small clearing in the middle of the woods. In the center of the clearing was a small stump with a heart drawn in the dirt around it. Set like a table, the stump had all kinds of food fit for a lion and cheetah. Kion ran over to the stump and picked up a small bouquet of flowers that had been lying on it. He handed them to Fuli and licked her cheek lovingly.

"Surprise!" he said in an adorable voice that made Fuli so happy.

She smiled at him and pulled him into a tight hug.

"Aww, Baby!" she exclaimed, "When did you have time to set all this up?"

Kion smiled and winked at her.

"That's my little secret." he said teasingly, "I love you, babe"

Fuli practically exploded from how sweet Kion was being.

"I love you too." she said softly giggling, "Now let's eat!".

Both animals sat down at the table-like stump and began to enjoy their meal, and even more happy to be enjoying their first real date.
