The Love Stone was a very peculiar place to be out here in this kind of jungle, but it was rather fascinating, despite being a little unusual. Kion and Rani were offered to bring some kind of affection in front of the rock since these lions were lovebirds.

Of course, they didn't really have anything special to offer the stone, and everyone was watching them. So to watch them consulate their love for one another.

Both of them accepted something at least to show their love in front of the stone, and they showed it with a kiss that lasted for three long seconds in front of the love rock. "Well done, children." said Adewale. "You have done well to prove your point to the stone."

"Thanks," said Rani. "Even if it was three seconds?"

"Yes." The Emela-Ntouka leader let out a small chuckle from himself. "It doesn't have to be making out. After all, I'm sure you kids would save that in private."

"True." said Kion. "We would." he looked at Rani and blushed. Joel and Persephone were the next ones to come up to the stone and show their love to one another, given they were husband and wife (or mates as other animals would call it).

They, unlike Kion and Rani, made out for seven seconds... then they found themselves making out together in front of the stones, enjoying the passion too much obviously.

All three kids were getting a little uncomfortable and the parents of Chris and Tara were so deep in their kiss, that they clumsily fell to the ground as they still didn't stop making out.

"Mom! Dad!" Tara groaned. "Not again." she looked at her brother, "Chris, can you help me?"

"Sure sis." the boy replied to her. They walked up to her, and it looked like they were going to pull their own parents apart. However, they stood in place and they pulled out an air horn from ther bags. "You guys might want cover your ears." said Chris

"Why would we do that?" asked Kifaru.

"Trust me, you'll need to." said Tara.

Still not understanding why, the animals did so, and covered their ears to prevent any more noise from penetrating their ear holes.

The human siblings pushed their fingers on the button, and the sound of two loud blares were heard, and it even echoed. The parents yelped in surprise, and even though their ears were covered, the animals still heard the blaring noise of those two human objects.

"That was loud." said Bunga.

"I can see why you wanted us to cover our ears." said Kion

The parents got back on their feet and looked embarrassed after, along with whistling. "We did it again, didn't we?" Joel asked his son while still embarrassed.

"Yep, you guys were making out again."

"Sorry, kids." said Persephone. "Our love has no boundaries."

"Well, I suppose that was an... unexpected part of the tour to witness." said Amadou. "Yet again, I see how humans show love."

"You can say that." said Adewale. "But I suppose we should move on now." They followed the Emela-Ntouka leader and they were going through more dense trees ajs vegetation of this rainforest.

Chris looked at his surroundings and then on the ground. What he saw next made his heart stop for a few seconds. There was a really large snake, camouflaged in the leaves on the ground, and its body was wider than most snakes would be like. It was a very close call, and Chris knew that if he stepped on the snake, it would bite him for sure. This snake looked rather dormant, and not as big as Mjinja was, but he was still big either way. It had two small horns on his nose, and its eyes were large with cat-like pupils like most snakes would have on their eyes.

He was a little scared, but Chris took a breath and closed his eyes for a few seconds. "Mind where you're ssssteping, kid." said the snake in a deeper voice than Mjinja would sound. "I wasssss almosssst ready to sssssstrike you down with my fangssssss."

"Sorry." Chris said.

"Ah, Gabe." said Amadou, recognizing the snake in front of the human boy.

"Hello Amadou." said the large snake, slowly turning his head to the giant forest hog.

"Who are you?" asked Chris to the snake

"My name is Gabriel." said the viper, turning towards the boy. "But you may call me Gabe." he tried standing up like a cobra would stand like and touched Cody with his forked tongue, sensing him. Joel looked a little worried since the last snake he saw with his own song was about to eat him, and clutched his rifle behind him. "Hmmmm, you are a very peculiar creature." said the viper. "What are you?"

"A human. Please don't eat me."

"Don't worry, I won't eat you." said Gabe. "I am not a python."

Chris never felt so relieved to hear that. "Whew. That's good." he swayed the back of his left hand across his forehead. "What are you exactly?"

"I am a gaboon viper." said the snake.

"Forgive us," said Adewale. "I was only showing this human family our humble home out here."

"Ah... tourissssts, eh?"

"Uh-huh." said Tara.

"My name is..." Kion tried introducing himself to the venomous snake, but he was interrupted by Gabe before he could finish.

"Wait... you're the Lion Guard, aren't you?" asked the snake

"How did you know?" asked Kion

"You are famous around here." said Gabe. "Mostly because of the birds."

"Oh, right." said Bunga. "Leave it to the birds to spread the word."

"I'm Rani." said she, "Kion's girlfriend."

"A pleasssure." said Gabe. "So what exactly are you humanssss? he looked at the four family members. The humans felt like they explained their origins and their nature to many animals who have never seen them many many times. They were getting a little sick of it, but they know that the animals here are a very curious bunch, and most of them are a very friendly group. Joel and Persephone were the ones to explain to him what humans were as usual, and the gaboon viper was as impressed and amazed as everyone else to see these aliens.

Gabe then said: "That isssss quite fassssscinating." and he smiled. "Related to Chimpanzeesssss?"

"Pretty much." said Chris.

"I was just as amazed as you are, Gabe." said Amadou. "And they're really nice humans. I mean, what's not to find fascinating about Chris and his family here?"

"I concur with you." said the snake.


At the end of the tour, the group was back in the Pride Lands, and the humans were back in their camp. It was a fun tour to look around the rainforest habitat that the Emela-Ntouka lived in and called their home. Chris was settling in his tent, and he was glad to visit that peculiar place around the Pride Lands. His family was also glad to come to the rainforest with Kion and the others, despite how sticky and humid it was. But, alas, it was just how the rainforest was.

For Rani, she was back home in the Outlands, and got herself a snack, a small duiker that is, before bed. For Kion, he was already asleep, for he was more tired than usual from all the walking around the rainforest.

Soon, everyone was asleep and it was all quiet, except for the crickets chirping, scattered around the areas at night, a common sound for many animals to hear when it becomes nightfall. While everyone was sleeping in the night, and looking so peaceful, Kion certainly was... having the opposite kind of sleep right now.

Kion's Dream

It was looking evil in the Pride Lands, and he looked all alone with no one else, not even a bird or an insect was in sight. The sky was red and it gave Kion a feeling of "Deja vu" all of a sudden. Yes, he had seen that sky before... ever since... "Oh no." Kion realized. his heart sank and he knew what was going to happen.

"Hello Kion." said a very familiar voice. Kion turned his back and there he was; Inuwa, making Kion afraid, but... he remembered how he defeated Inuwa the last time. "No! You're dead! I killed you!"

"I can never be killed, my boy." said the evil, demonic lion.

"But... how?"

"I am evil and demonic. Nothing cane ever kill me."

"Where's my family!"

"Right behind you." Inuwa grinned evilly.

Kion turned his back and he grew even more afraid to see his family, friends, and acquaintances brainwashed by Inuwa's dark magic. "This can't be happening!"

"But it is, Kion." said Simba. "Join us."

"NOOOOO!" Kion exclaimed.

End of Kion's Dream

He was being gently shaken by his big sister. "Kion, Kion!" said Kiara, making her brother wake up with tears in his eyes. "Kion? Are you ok?"

"Inuwa!" Kion gasped. "He... brainwashed all of you again, he... You guys-!" he then felt himself being hugged by his sister and mother at the same time to come him down.

"There there." said Nala. "It's ok."
