Kion came into the royal den to see Kovu laying down sleeping next Kiara.
Kion ask "Kovu? Kovu wake up."
Kovu opens his eyes groggy and ask "what is it, Kion?"
Kion ask "can you come with me."
Kovu follows Kion out of the royal den.
He ask "what do you want?"
Kion says "I want to know how did you survived that fall into the gorge?"
Kovu answers "I landed on Gavin's body and floated down river for three days unconscious."
He ask how's is my sister, Vitani doing?"
Kion answers "she was upset too that you were gone."
Kovu left to see his sister.
Kiara woke up to see Kovu gone and starts shedding tears thinking that Kovu didn't come back.
Kovu look for Vitani around the pridelands until he found her talking to Katie and ask "Vitani?"
Vitani turned to see Kovu standing there and smiles "hey there little lion slayer."
Kovu blushes saying "I did what I needed to do in order to save Rani."
Katie ask "Kovu, are you droping Kiara to start dating Rani?"
Kovu ask "why would I date her for?"
Katie says "Rani broke up with Kion because she blamed herself for you killing yourself running Gavin into the gorge. She told Kiara that you ran Gavin into the gorge and told Kion that she was breaking up with him for letting you die."
Kovu ask Rani ended their relationship?"
Vitani nods her head "yes."
Kovu lowers his head.
He talked about being away and couldn't believe that Rani broke up with him.
Katie said "even when Kiara was stepping down as queen of Pride Rock.
Kovu ask "what did Kion say?"
Katie answered "he let it go because he was worried about Kiara's pain of your death."
Kovu ask "did Kion talk about wanting her back?"
Vitani replies "no, he said if she wants to be alone for now he was gonna give her, her space. She still helps the guard, but as a lion guard only."
Kovu leaves to find the guard.
Kion was playing watermelon ball with Bunga and Beshte while Fuli, Rani and Ono just watched them.
Kovu walked up to them and ask "Rani, could you come walk with him?"
Rani smiled at him and replied "sure."
Kovu and Rani walked to the watering hole.
Rani smirks "Kovu, why did you ask me to come take a walk with you?"
Kovu answers "I heard that you broke up with Kion."
Rani answers "yes, because I didn't want to date him anymore for letting you die."
Kovu thinks about it and ask "are you going to get back with him since I'm back?"
Rani answers "no, because I like you."
Kovu sighs and says "Rani, I can't date you because I love Kiara."
Rani lowers her head.
Kovu looks at her and says "you should get back with him."
(In the royal den)
Nala walked into the royal to see Kiara crying and ask her "why are you crying for?"
Kiara answers "Kovu really did die."
Nala pulls her into embrace and whispers "it will be alright Kiara."
Kiara tells her "I miss him, mom."
Nala tells her "he will come back soon. He had to leave for something."
(With Kovu)
Kovu talked with Rani for the rest of the day.
He ask "Rani, Kion ask you to be his queen. Do you really want to throw all that away?"
Rani tells Kovu "Kion won't take me back after I told him that I got his sister's boyfriend killed."
Kovu looks at her and says "he will take you back, stay here."
Kovu left to get Kion.
Kovu ask "Kion, a word."
Kion looked Kovu and ask "what's up?"
Kovu ask "since I'm alive, would you take Rani back?"
Kion answers "she doesn't want to get back together with me because you died."
Kovu says "Kion, everything you and her did together was love. Why would you let her go, over me?"
Kion ask "what was I suppose to do? Kiss her and tell her I love her?"
Kovu yells "yes! That's what your suppose to do."
Kion turns around and begins to walk away when Kovu stopped him and snarled "your gonna go to Rani right now and kiss her and say you want her even if she tries to leave."
Kion walked to where Rani was and said "I'm sorry Rani for letting you go through this alone. I know what happen wasn't your fault."
Rani stops him there and says "I know he did it to make sure that Gavin wouldn't bother Kiara again or the pride landers. He told me to go free Kiara and I stood there watching him push Gavin into the gorge to kill him.
After he came back here, I feel relieve that he's alive. Kion if you want to get back together we can."
Kion answers "yes, I want to get back together with you, Rani. I love you, plus Kovu said if I didn't get back with you, he was gonna beat me up for letting you go."
Rani giggles at Kovu beating up Kion for letting me go.
Rani ask "so you want to play tag?"
Kion pounces on Rani and says "Kovu also told me to do this to you."
Rani ask "wha-"
Kion kisses Rani, rubbing the sides of her body.
Kovu smiled at them and walk back to Pride Rock to go inside the royal den.
Kovu looked at Nala comforting Kiara since he's been gone.
Kiara tells her mom "I know he's gone but he was the only one who could ever make me feel happy all day and night. I can't live my life without him around."
Nala whispers "I can't imagine you being happy without him too sweetie.
Kiara tells her mom "Kovu would be the only one I would have a cub with."
(In Kovu's limbo)
Mufasa ask "Kovu you still have a choice to go back or stay here, but if you don't go back, She will be upset everyday because you didn't come back."
Kovu says "I have to go back because she needs me."
Mufasa nods his head and sends him back.
(Real world)
Kovu wakes up by the river wonder what happen.
Mufasa whispers through the wind "They Need You Now More Then Ever."
Kovu realized where he was and ran alongside the River until he arrived in the Pridelands.
Kiara laid there in the royal den with Nala trying to comfort her.
Kovu walked in and said "Kiara?"
Kiara looked up to see Kovu standing there in the entrance of the den and ask "Kovu?"
Kovu nods his head.
Kiara ran to him, tackling him to the ground, licking his face over and over and over.
Kovu says "I'm here, Kiara. I'm back, I'm home."
He told them all what he saw while in limbo.
Kion and Rani broke up over me dying, Kiara cried all day and night for me.
Kion ask "how did you get us back together?"
Kovu said "I talked about what you two did while dating and threaten you to go after her. Kiara I know what you told Nala while crying."
Kiara ask "what did I say?"
Kovu whispers in her ear making her eyes widen and giggles at him.
Kion ask "what?"
Kovu says "Kiara told Nala that I was the only one she would have a cub with."
Rani giggles at the jester.
Kion says "maybe when we're older, but I'm glad your back Kovu."
