The evening came, and the time was right for Kion to try and be at two places at once. He got out of Pride Rock and went with his parents for the little gem search in that mystical cave, and spend some quality time with Simba and Nala before leaving ten minutes after, and joining Kiara and Kovu with the rhino celebration with Chikelu. This would surely be a weird night for him, but he was absolutely determined to make his family happy today, and make sure he didn't miss out on these two activities happening in the same day.

Bright and Shining, the stars were glistening in the night sky, and the moon was a left crescent today. At least when they get to the cave, they will build a fore to light their way outside.

"I'm really glad you decided to come with us, Kion." Said Simba. "It's been a little while since we did something like this."

"Right you are, dad." Kion agreed with him. Then he made a somewhat nervous chuckle. "I wonder what kind of gems we'll find in that cave."

Nala was the next one to speak, and she said: "I wonder that myself. Maybe so much, boundless gems in that cave that you can be the richest animal in all the Pride lands."

Simba made a small chuckle: "Ah, gems are great but, being with my family is all I need in my life, and my own friends out here."

"Well, I hope this cave is not very far from here." The cub remarked

"No. It's only about six miles from Pride rock." Simba replied. "I know you will love it when we get there." Inside of Kion, he was feeling a little nervous and he was thinking of how he can get out of gem searching and go attend the summit with Kiara and Kovu.

"You alright, son?" Asked the king.

"Yeah dad. I'm just thinking if the kind of gems we might in the cave when we get there." The cub lied to him.

"Like I said: we'll when we get there. And besides, Rafiki wants the most sparkling gem we can find for his magic." Nala reminded. "I just hope we find the right one for him."

"Ah, I'm pretty sure we will, mom." Kion replied. "Just keep looking. But, I'm keeping this one just in case.

"Come on, Nala. I'm sure we'll find the perfect fem for Rafiki."

"Yeah, you're right, Simba. Who knows what kind of gem he will need to help with his staff." They all eventually found the cave, and Kion hoped that this was the place that he was told about. "Here we are." Nala Said.

The cub then Asked: "How can we be able to see in there?"

"No problem." Simba remarked. "Fireflies live inside of there, and they can give a luminating light to anyone who comes inside."

"huh." He and his parents got a good look at the exterior of this cave and a couple of fireflies showed up, and revealed the path to the three lions by forming a straight pattern while hovering in midair, possibly to show respect to the royals before they enter like s line of torches in a ruined crypt.

All the lights glew a greenish-yellow color and it looked rather wonderful. The three lions ventured in the cave and it revealed to be cornucopia of gems and jewels attached to rocks, boulders, walls, and some of them were trapped on the floor even.

"Hevi Kabisa." Kion muttered.

"You can say that again, Kion." Simba agreed with him. "Now, the least we can find is a very good gem that Rafiki will love."

"And don't worry if we get lost." Nala explained. "The fireflies can Help us find the way out."

"Got it, Mom." Kion remarked. He began looking around for some good gems and jewels for Rafiki, and so far, he didn't really find anything that the baboon will like in his eyes. All around him were many kinds of these sparkly gems such as malachite, emerald, ruby, sapphire, topaz, geode, and a few pieces of diamonds.

Not being much of a critic, Kion didn't know what to think or say about this, and he didn't have a good eye for gems. At last, he found a small diamond made out of pure gold, glistening under the lights of the fireflies.

"Hmm. This looks good." He muttered. Trying to pry it off the ground, he was using his paws and arms, for he didn't want to damage his teeth while trying to pry this diamond free. He gave once last powerful pull on this jewel and he finally did it, this diamond was as good as his.

Nala couldn't help, but go up to her son, and she asked him: "Ooh, that is a nice find. Where did you find that?"

"Right here." then he showed his parents where he found this diamond, and there was the hole from where Kion pried it off. "It was quite stuck to the wall here." he explained. "It's so beautiful, and it's golden." and he looked at it some more.

"Wow. That's a good find, Kion." said Simba, feeling impressed. "Do you think we should give that to Rafiki?"

"Well... We just got here, didn't we? There might be more gems to find around here."

"Good point, Kion." said Nala. "You're right, we should look around some more." And they spread out to look for some more gems for what Rafiki would possibly like. So far, there were no other gems that were nowhere near as equally beautiful as the golden diamond piece that Kion found before, but still, they wanted to all help make Rafiki happy by any beautiful gems they can find in this somewhat beautiful cave.

Nala and Simba just couldn't decide on what kind of gem they should get the crazy, yet wise baboon, for there were so many gems as far as the eye can see in the cave. Finally, Nala found a beautiful cubic sapphire from the ground, and Simba found a perfectly round emerald from the right wall in this cavern, and they looked very sparkling under the fireflies' light.

the two regrouped with Kion who was looking at the gold diamond he found, and thinking of going to the Rhino festival right now. Apparently, ten minutes have passed already and his time in the first round was up. "What do you think, son? I found this round emerald."

"And I found this beautiful sapphire." Nala added. "What do you think?"

"Wow. those are beautiful gems." Kion remarked. "Oh, wait. I have to go look at the stars in the sky."

The parents gave him a rather confused look. "The stars?" they both said.

"Yeah, don't you just love the nigtht sky and the moon shining out there? The great kings of the past looking down on us from the sky at night?" Kion lied to them both. "I mean it will only be for a little while."

"True. Just don't go to far out there." said Nala

"And be careful out there, and... watch your step." Simba added.

Kion smiled at the king. "I will dad. I'm always careful." Then he went back outside, and as soon as they weren't looking, Kion bolted across the field with a spurt, running to catch the festival that Kiara and Kovu were participating in right now. He was almost going as fast as Fuli was, but he was no cheetah, he was a lion. As soon as he was looking for the area, he saw a small bonfire, and he wondered if it was it.

Walking closer to the bonfire, and there was a large group of white rhinos near a river, and there was Chikelu, and his son, Kifaru. Next to them on the left were Kiara and Kovu, and they were more than happy to see Kion when he approached them.

"Ah, there you are." Said Kiara. "You're a little late."

"I know. Sorry." Kion replied.

"Don't worry about it." Said Kovu. "What matters is that you're here now."

"Well, let the celebration begin!" Chikelu announced. Then this festival commenced just like that
