Kion was the first one to climb up the stone stairs. He spotted his parents at the peak. He took a deep breath before he took a step toward them.

Kion: Hey mom, dad.

His parents whipped their heads around to look at him.

Nala: Kion? Is that really you?

Kion: Yes. It is.

Simba and Nala: Kion.

They nuzzled each other warmly as the others came to the top.

Kiara: Actually, mom and dad. It would be King Kion now.

They stared at Kion in disbelief.

Kion: It's true. This would be my mate, Rani and our cubs, Kida and Kopa, they're twins.

Kovu: Yeah and Rani thought that Kion and Kiara dated.

Kiara and Kion: KOVU!

Kovu: Sorry. It was.

Kiara: Kion left because of a threat and was basically a rouge until he met Rani and the Night Pride at the Tree of Life.

Kion: Kiara. I can speak for myself. So, um, we can stay for a little bit now that the threat is gone.
