''Hey,Kiara,wanna play Baobab Ball with me and Bunga?'' Kion said,as Baobab ball was his and Kiara's favorite thing to play.

''Well,Kion..um...I-'' Kiara started,but Zuri stopped her

''She isn't interested in that kiddy stuff,Kion.'' Zuri scoffed.

'''What?No,that's not what I was gonna-'' Kiara started,but this time,Kion stopped her.

''Kiara..'' Kion said and Kiara sighed.

''Sorry,Kion,but she's right..I love playing baobab ball and all,but we all have friends..plus,we are getting older,so we need to grow out of it sooner or later.'' Kiara explained and Kion frowned.

''Kiara,we're only 5 months old!'' Kion spat,''We still have MONTHS to play baobab ball.''

''But we are heirs..we have responsibilities.'' Kiara said

''Since when did YOU care about responsibilities,Kiara?'' Kion asked angrily,''You have constantly said that you never wanted to be Queen in your entire life..that you would give the title of ruler to me the moment you gained it..what is happening to the sister I know and love?''

''Hey,I'm still the same person,just...different.'' Kiara replied,but Kion stormed off,''KION,WAIT!''

Kiara tried running after the younger cub,but stopped at the bottom of pride rock as Zuri and Tiifu came down.

''Well..that escalated quickly.'' Zuri said and Kiara nodded.

''I'm gonna go talk to him.'' Tiifu said as she ran after Kion.

''Sister,w-'' Zuri started,but Kiara shushed her.

''Kion can trust Tiifu..he always has.'' Kiara told the older lioness.

And he always did..he eventually married Tiifu after the prides united and is living happily.

Kion sighed as he walked back to pride rock after visiting Rafiki's tree,since Abasi and the Hyenas went into hiding lately.

''Hey,Kiara!'' Kion called to his sister,who was with the newborn Asha.

''SHHHH!Kion,you're gonna wake her up!'' Kiara whispered to her brother.

''Well can you leave her with mom while we talk for a minute?'' Kion asked her.

''I guess...mom,can you take care of Asha for a little bit?'' Kiara asked her mother,who Nodded,''Thanks.''

Kiara and Kion walked out of the den and looked in the distance.

''What did you want to talk about,Kion?'' Kiara asked the younger lion.

''About everything...everything that has happened to us since we were newborns..we are so different,yet so similar.'' Kion replied,''We had a sibling rivalry that we couldn't put behind us for a couple years until after Zira's death..and I wanted to say that I'm sorry for all that i said the day after you went to the outlands.''

"It's ok,Kion..I want to apologize for leaving you in the dust while I hung out with Tiifu and Zuri…'' Kiara said,''And I didn't mean for you to feel that way.''

Then..silence..until…

''Hello,young master!'' Zazu shouted,startling the much younger animal,''...What?''

''YOU STARTLED ME,ZAZU!'' Kion yelled

''Oh..sorry,young master'' Zazu apologized

''It's fine..'' Kion grumbled.

''What's wrong,Kion?'' Bunga asked his best friend,who sighed.

''Kiara can't play with us anymore because of 'Responsibilities' '' Kion said,growling after.

''Well,you guys are getting older…'' Bunga said,''Maybe it was time for Kiara to move onto worse things.''

''I'm just worried that eventually,the fiery spirit of Kiara will be gone forever.'' Kion sighed as Bunga hugged the cub.

''It's ok,Kion..she still loves you,she just has more things to do.'' Bunga said,comforting his best friend.

''Yeah...I guess you're right..'' Kion admitted.

'' Zuka Zama,Kion,don't be so down,be up!'' Bunga shouted and Kion cocked an eyebrow at this.

''What do you mean?'' Kion asked

''I mean don't be negative,be positive!'' Bunga replied.

''O...K…I guess.'' Kion said.

''You went to Bunga to ease your problems?'' Kiara asked,baffled

''Yeah..why?'' Kion replied

''Bunga is normally stupid compared to you!'' Kiara said

''...true.'' Kion admitted.

Tiifu then came out of the den and nuzzled her husband.

''You talking about childhood?'' Tiifu asked Kion,who nodded,''Don't lie in the past,sweetheart,focus on the future.''

meanwhile at the Hyena hideout.

''Janja,Is it time?'' Cheezi asked his leader.

''One more day,Cheezi…'' Janja replied,''One more day…''
