    Many years after the defeat of Scar and the revival of the Pride Lands, Simba becomes king and everything is now the way it was before. Nothing changed until that night. A human family struggled in their yacht during a big storm. After struggling with strong winds and blows to stay alive, they ended up in the river in the Pride Lands and landed the yacht there. In order to survive, the father would go and find food for himself, his wife, his teenage daughter and his newborn son. Meanwhile, in the Pride Lands, it is the presentation of Kion, Kopa and Kiara's youngest brother and fellow litter-mate and all of the animals gathered to see their new prince. Rafiki, the high priest, advisor and shaman of the Pride Lands held the cub in the air for all to see and the animals let out a great cheer. Two days later, Celestia and Luna, the co-leaders and queens of their own pride of lions and Simba's most trusted guardians are guarding the northern border from Zira and her pride of Outsiders, a group of lions who follow Scar, the late Mufasa's evil brother and Simba's uncle.

    Celestia: This is strange, Luna. Zira and her pride haven't been heard from for many days.

    Luna: Indeed, who knows what they're up to.

    Suddenly, a shriek and a gunshot was heard from the riverside. Celestia and Luna pounced into the eastern part of the Pirde Lands and when they reach the banks of the Mara River, they saw the yacht where the human family live.

    Celestia: It's a man's leaf rider.

    The lionesses entered the yacht where they saw a rifle on the floor and a trail of blood. They spotted bloodied pawprints of a lion. Celestia knew who could've done it for this bloodied pawprints looks familiar.

    Celestia: Zira!

    Luna: What happened here?

    Celestia: Zira and her pride had killed man and this is the reason why Simba had banished them in the first place. For their devotion for Scar, poaching and killing man.

    Luna: That monster, just like Scar.

    Celestia: Zira is as evil as her husband, Scar is. We'd better find the survivors before she does.

    All of a sudden, the lionesses heard a lusty cry somewhere inside the yacht. It came from a crib in the so Celestia looked closer just in time to find out that the cry came from a human baby boy.

    Luna: What have you found?

    Celestia: It's a man-cub.

    Luna: This one must've lost its parents because of Zira.

    Celestia: It is true, we have to go now before it's midnight.

    Meanwhile, Rafiki was drawing a picture of Simba and Nala's Cubs, Kope, Kiara and Kion beside Simba's on the trunk of his tree.

    Rafiki: Oh, Mufasa, two princes and a princess, Kopa, Kiara and Kion are born and the circle of life is complete."

    But the wind blew and wiped away the circle.

    "What is it?" Rafiki asked and he spotted leaves blowing in the wind. The mandrill picks them up and sniffs it. It is a scent of man. He reaches for the empty turtle shell, threw the leaves in, shook it and took a good look.

    Rafiki: A man-cub? The third prince is here?

    The strong wind blows softly.

    Rafiki: Okay, I will bless him just like I did to his siblings.

    The lionesses went off to Pride Rock with the man cub, who is carried in its blankets on Luna's mouth like how she carries her sister's adoptive daughter, Creative Spirit. As the moon shines above the dark night, a pink lion cub, Mi Amore Cadenza, or Cadence looks at the entrance of the den for her aunts, Celestia and Luna with Creative Spirit, who is just a newborn cub.

    Simba: Cadence, what are you doing in here?

    Cadence: I am waiting for Aunt Celestia while caring for baby Creative. I wish I could go with them but they would refuse.

    Simba: You were much like me when I was your age. My father wouldn't let me go with him too.

    Cadence: Yeah.

    The sisters had successfully returned to Pride Rock with the man-cub. Simba, his queen, Nala and the other lions, especially Nightlight, Twilight Twinkle, their two cubs, Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle, Tenor Treble, Melody Song and their litter of cubs, a wise elderly lioness, Granny Smith and the others greeted them.

    Cadence: Aunt Celestia! Aunt Luna!

    Celestia: Simba, Zira strikes again.

    Simba: What happened there?

    Celestia: She and her pride had killed humans. We investigated the banks of the river where we found a man leaf rider and we discovered that Zira had killed not only one man but three.

    Simba: You have noticed it Celestia and, Luna, what is that with you?

    Luna sets the bundle to the ground gently. The blankets shed off revealing a baby boy. The child has pale skin, amber eyes and whitish blonde hair. The lions of Pride Rock gasps in surprise.

    Simba: A man-cub?

    Cadence: Where did this came from?

    Luna: We found him in his man leaf rider when his family died. His mother, father and one more.

    Melody Song: We heard about man using fire sticks to hunt us and all the animals. I have seen man-cubs with their mothers but this one has lost his.

    Sarabi: For an infant, he is unique. He is very brave.

    Granny Smith: Indeed, but what shall we do with this man cub?

    Simba: It's a human, we should return it to where he belongs.

    Luna: It's not a good idea, it is better to keep it.

    Melody Song: He will die in the long journey or worse.

    Celestia: Besides, he has no intentions to kill us like all man because he's just a baby.

    Nightlight: Simba, you accepted us to your pride in spite of being different from you and the others when our home was destroyed. He also lost the ones he loved like you lost Mufasa himself. Would your father accept the man-cub?

    Simba was speechless and confused to think of what his father would do in this situation. Nala leaned down and gently slid the baby over to him. The child looked at him and the lion leaned his head down. He sniffed him and the baby started to chuckle as he placed his small hands on him.

    Nala: What do you think?

    Simba looked at the man cub, who is playing with his tail. He began to smile, maybe there is something similar to him and the cubs at all.

    Simba: He is a part of our family now. (Nuzzles at his mate)

    Cadence: Hear that Creative? We have a new family member.

    Creative let out a soft laugh in agreement.

    Cadence: So um, whatcha gonna call it?

    Nala: I'm going to call him Kijani, for he is will be a true warrior.

    Simba: Kijani? It is wonderful.

    The queen picked up the baby and carried him to her other cubs but the blanket that wrapped around the baby slipped out of her mouth but Nala quickly bent down to catch him. Kijani began to cry.

    Nala: Oh, oh no, shh, shh, don't cry, come on, come on, I'm here.

    Simba: It's okay, I am here for you, son.

    The baby calmed down and he giggled as his father nuzzled him.

    The lion couple laid beside their newborn cubs. Nala placed Kijani with Kopa, Kiara and Kion and nuzzled him. The infant cuddled with the warmth of his adoptive mother and older siblings. He then yawned at faded into his sleep.

    Simba: Goodnight, my sons.

    Kijani slept through the night with his new family as destiny awaits for the man-cub.

    2. A New Prince is Here

    The next day since Kijani is adopted by the lions, Simba and Nala discuss with the other high-ranking lions and lionesses, Chumvi and Kula, Malka and Tama, Tojo, Mheetu, Mtoto and the others about protecting their prides and their lands from Zira and the outsiders while Celestia and Luna as well as the other lions watch over Kijani and the cubs.

    Celestia: It's great Kijani is a part of our pride.

    Luna: Yes, but I'm concern about what happen if Zira finds him.

    Melody Song: We'd better look out for him and the Cubs now but when they grow older, I'll teach them how to be warriors.

    As the Cubs started laying with each other, Kijani woke up and began to crawl away but Nala caught him at the right time.

    Nala: Oh no, you don't. You're not going anywhere. (Picks up Kijani and places him among his siblings.)

    Simba: Nice try Kijani.

    After the meeting, Simba lead all the other lions and introduced them to his new son, Kijani. They were so surprised to see him that he looks different from all of them.

    Chumvi: Congrats, Nala. Your new cub's gonna be a great warrior.

    Kula: My mate and I are so proud of you for making a desicion in keeping the child.

    Malka: I remember a story about a girl raised by lions.

    Tama: He looks so unique from the rest of us and his mane is white like the snowcap of Mount Kilimanjaro.

    Tojo: I hope he is as great as his grandfather himself.

    Mheetu: Congratulations, sister.

    Mtoto: Congrats, cousin Simba.

    Then, Timon and Pumbaa as well as Zazu arrive in the Pride Rock just in time for the presentation of Jasiri.

    Pumbaa: Hi fellows!

    Simba: Hi guys.

    Timon: Looks like nothing changes (sees Kijani) Whoa!

    Zazu: Where in the world have you got this man-cub, sire?

    Celestia: Me and Luna found him by the man leaf rider, his family is killed by Zira and her pride. So Luna and I took him here.

    Zazu: I heard about man killing animals but this one is so different.

    Pumbaa: Aww, he's so cute!

    Timon: What, Simba, that's your son...(Kijani grabbed Timon's tail and plays with it) Hey! Let go of my tail.

    Kijani lets go of his tail and clapped his hands.

    Cadence: I think he likes you Timon.

    Timon: Yeah, cute alright. (Dusts his tail)

    Rafiki arrives at Pride Rock, as well as the animals who are waiting outside the den.

    Rafiki: Hello.

    Simba: Hello Rafiki.

    Celestia: What brings you here, sir?

    Rafiki bends down to see Simba's youngest son, Kijani.

    Rafiki: Just as Mufasa told me. The third prince of the pride.

    Celestia: Mufasa told you about Kijani?

    Rafiki: Yes, dear benevolent one. Kijani is the third prince. (Applies a mark on Kijani's forehead and takes him. He raises the baby up for all of the animals and the great kings to see. The animals cheered for the first human prince of the Pride Lands)

    Timon: Aww, Pumbaa, look at that little boy, a chip off the old block. Wanna know who will raise him?

    Pumbaa: His parents?

    Timon: Yeah, but who's gonna teach him the really important stuff like how to belch and dig for grubs. I'm telling you Pumbaa, it's gonna be like old times, you me and the little boy.

    Nightlight: Well, he and his brothers will be warriors too like my sons and the other Cubs.

    Timon just laughed at him.

    Timon: Hahaha! A skinny hairless thing, a warrior? HAHAHAHAHA!

    Pumbaa: Simba's not gonna be happy about this!

    Rafiki: Looks can be deceiving.

    Simba: They'll be powerful warriors someday.

    Celestia: And one day, he'll defeat the outsiders when he grows older.

    Timon: (walks out) Whatever!

    3. Brother's Older Sister

    Years later, Kopa, Kiara and Kion grew up to be active cubs. Kopa had a red Mohawk like his little brother Kion, who had spots on his fur and Kiara grew up similar to her paternal grandmother, Sarabi. Kiara grew close to Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Creative Spirit, Mariposa, Sunset Shimmer, Sela and the other female cubs while Kopa and Kion played with the other cubs and their friends, the Lion Guard, Bunga the honey badger, Fuli the cheetah, Beshte the hippo and Ono the egret.

    Kopa: Cmon Kion.

    Kion catches up with his brother, only to be pounced at by a white skinned child. Kion looked up to see Kijani himself, the boy has long, messy platinum blonde hair and he has muscles growing on his arms and legs.

    Kion: Good pounce Kijani. Now can you please get off of me?

    Kijani: Whoops, sorry. (Gets off his brother)

    Shining Armor: Nice one. It's getting better than you pranking your sister, Kiara.

    Kopa: Yeah, I remember how you dumped that coconut shell full of water on her head.

    Kijani: And she chased me through the den and gave me a paw noogie.

    Kopa: And it was hilarious too.

    Kion: (sarcastic)Sure it was.

    Kijani: Speaking of Kiara, where is she?

    Meanwhile, Kiara is walking through the tall grass, chasing a butterfly while the other cubs would go out and pick flowers.

    Kiara: Hey! Wait! Come back! I just wanna play! (She sees the butterfly land, and crouches to attack) Ahhh... the mighty hunter has cornered her prey. Errrrh!

    Kiara's pounce takes her up the side of a small rise, from which she can see a distance into the Outlands.

    Kiara: Whoa... cool! The Outlands! I wonder what's out there...

    A rustling in the grass behind her draws Kiara's attention. She turns, and the grass separates.

    Kiara: AH!

    Timon and Pumbaa: AH!

    Kiara is frightened backwards, and falls off the far side of the knoll into a pool below. Pumbaa gets set to leap after her and Timon jumps off just as he throws himself into the pool.

    Pumbaa: Oooh, don't worry, Kiara- Uncle Pumbaa's comin'!

    Timon: Oh, no... ohh... uh... uh... let's see, uh... (in-character as though talking to Simba) Gee, Simba. The good news is, we found your daughter. The bad news is, we dropped a warthog on her. Is... there a problem with that?

    Pumbaa: (looking from side to side in the water) Kiara? Kiara?

    Timon: Pumbaa! Let me define "babysitting"!

    Pumbaa: (He finds Kiara underneath him, spluttering, and he gets off.) Sorry. Now, Princess Kiara... as Simba's daughter, you know better than to go off all alone. You could have been hurt!

    Kiara: But... but...

    Timon: Hurt! Oh... Simba would kill us! You didn't slip a disc, did you?

    Kiara: B-but-

    Timon checks to make sure Kiara is intact. Kopa, Kion, Kijani and the others looked at her.

    Kijani: There you are, big sis.

    Timon: Catch a fever? Get a hangnail?

    Timon is examining her claws; she pulls her paw away.

    Kiara, Kopa, Kion and Kijani: Timon...

    Timon: I had one once.

    Pumbaa: Very painful.

    Timon: Excruciating!

    Timon picks a fern branch and over Kiara's head, shading her.

    Timon: Darling... with your complexion, you should stay out of the sun. (She swats the branch away) What!? Do you wanna wrinkle?

    The boys: Hehehehe!

    Kiara: Would someone please just listen to me?

    Timon: I'm sorry; I wasn't listening. Did you say something, Princess?

    Kiara: I'm not just a princess, you know. That's only half of who I am!

    Pumbaa: Oh, uh... who's the other half?

    Kijani: Well, I have an other half and that's pranking him! (Snaps finger on his brother)

    Kopa: Hey!

    Kiara: Uh... well, I, uh... um...

    Timon: Well, while you're figuring it out, let's eat. (He snaps his fingers, and Pumbaa lifts up a log) Grubs!

    Pumbaa: The other white meat!

    Timon: (offering a leaf-full of grubs to the siblings) And so high in protein!

    Kiara: Eww! Gross!

    Kijani: Yuck!

    Kion: Eyy!

    Kopa: Errrrhhhhh!

    Timon: No? How 'bout you, big boy?

    Pumbaa: (sniff) Aaah. Love grubs!

    Timon: Not like...

    Pumbaa: Love!

    Timon tosses a bug into Pumbaa's mouth; he crunches and coughs on it a little, then hiccups and spits the fragments back onto the leaf, coating them all with saliva.

    Timon: (grossed out) Ohhh.. you always do that! You take a bite out of every one, and then put it back. It drives me crazy!

    Pumbaa: But you can't tell from the outside which are the real slimy ones!

    Timon: Slimy? Pumbaa... my corpulent compadre. It's the crunchy ones that make the meal!

    Pumbaa: Slimy!... Slimy!... Slimy!... Slimy!... Slimy!... Slimy!... Slimy!... Less filling!... Less filling!... Less filling!... Less filling!... Low fat!

    Timon: Crunchy!... Crunchy!... Crunchy!... Crunchy!... Crunchy!... Crunchy!... Crunchy!... Tastes good!... Tastes good!... Tastes good!... Tastes good!... Check, please!

    Kijani: Let's ditch them, dude!

    Kiara and the others wanders off while they argue. While the boys are playing with the other baby animals, she crosses a river on a log, and tumbles off- directly into Kovu, bowling him over. He snarls at her confrontationally, and continues growling.

    Kovu: Who are you, Pride lander?

    He continues growling and snarling at her.

    Kovu: What are you doing?

    Kiara: My father says to never turn your back on an Outsider!

    Kovu: You always do what Daddy says?

    Kiara: No!

    Kovu: Bet you do. Bet you're Daddy's little girl! Ha ha! (He moves away, hopping on logs across the river) An Outsider doesn't need anybody. I take care of myself!

    Kiara: (awed, following him across) Really?

    (But the crocodiles started attacking them as they crossed the river)

    Kovu: That was a close one.

    Kiara: Yeah...

    But the crocodiles they are sitting on rise up and reveal themselves as more crocodile heads.

    Both: Ah!...

    Kiara runs up a tree limb, getting out of reach; however, Kovu runs past her, leaping from crocodile to crocodile down the river.

    Kiara: Hey.. what about me?

    Kovu: I'll distract them. Run!

    Kovu slips off the last crocodile into the water; as he comes up, gasping for air, the crocodiles loom over him.

    Kiara: (swiping at crocodiles from her branch) Look out!

    Kovu is paralyzed by fright; the gaping mouth in front of him is suddenly clamped shut by Kiara leaping on top of it.

    Kiara: Move it!

    The two cubs scramble up a branch and up onto the bank, out of reach of danger. From the top, they pant and rest for a few moments, then move back to look over the edge. The crocodiles are massing below, furious at being cheated of their meal.

    Kiara: I did it... I did it! (she blew raspberries at the crocodiles below)

    Kovu: Hah!

    The cubs move back from the edge and recount their adventure.

    Kiara: Whoa, man- did you see the size of those teeth? They were goin' "Rrrarrarrarr" ... (rolls over on her back and laughs) He was just totally eatin' you up right there, and I jumped on his head- and I bopped him so good-

    What they didn't know is that someone is crouching in the grass some distance away.

    Kiara: We make such a good team! And you... you were really brave!

    Kovu: Yeah... you were pretty brave too. My name's Kovu.

    Kiara: I'm Kiara.

    She crouches down playfully, waving her tail; she reaches out and bats him

    Kiara: Tag! You're it!

    She jumps back, laughing; instead of chasing, Kovu just looks at her silently. She tries again.

    Kiara: Tag! You're it! You're it!

    Kovu: (Still no response; he just stares at her.)

    Kiara: Hello? You run, I tag... get it? What's the matter? Don't you know how to play? I usually play it with my friends and my brothers.

    Getting an idea, she crouches down and goes back to playing his style, with bared teeth and growls. He gets the idea and mock-growls back, but suddenly he finds himself growling at Simba's leg. Simba roars, and the unknown lioness jumps out of the grass and roars back.

    Simba: Zira.

    Zira: Simba!

    Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa as well as Kiara's friends, the Lion Guard, Kopa, Kion and Kijani arrive behind Simba, with other lionesses.

    Zira: Nala.

    Nala: Zira.

    Timon: Timon, Pumbaa. Great. Now that we all know each other.. GET OUTTA OUR PRIDE LANDS!

    Zira: Your Pride Lands? (She snarls, making Timon leap backwards over Pumbaa's head in fear) These lands belonged to Scar.

    Simba: I banished you from the Pride Lands for killing man! Now you and your young cub... get out!

    Zira: Oh... haven't you met my son, Kovu? He was hand-chosen by Scar to follow in his pawprints... and become King!

    Timon: PTTTT! That's not a king... that's a fuzzy maraca!

    Kijani: Ew!

    Zira: Kovu was the last born before you exiled us to the Outlands, where we have little food, less water...

    Simba: You know the penalty for returning to the Pride Lands!

    Zira: But the child does not! However... if you need your pound of flesh... here.

    (She nudges Kovu toward Simba, daring him to show either ruthlessness or cowardice.)

    Simba: Take him and get out. We're finished here.

    (Simba picks up Kiara in his teeth. Zira walks over to Simba and looks down at a terrified Kiara and her brothers.)

    Zira: Oh no, Simba... we have barely begun. (Looks at Kijani) I see you take in humans here. How do they taste, pretty good I hope. (Snarls at Kijani)

    Simba: (roars) Don't you ever come near my children again!

    Zira: Child? you made this thing one of your own? You're even weaker than I thought, like I said, we have barely begun.

    She glares wickedly at the siblings, then turns and picks up Kovu in her jaws. He and Kiara watch each other dangle as they move apart.

    Kiara: Bye...

    Kovu: Bye...

    As they are going back home, Kijani felt guilty and anxious.

    Kijani: Who is that cub?

    Kiara: Kovu

    Kijani: I'm sorry I called him Ewww.

    Kiara: It's okay.

    As they are ready to go back to the pride rock, Simba asks Nala and the boys as well as the lionesses to go ahead while he would have a word with the eldest cub herself. In Pride Rock, Kijani was so confused.

    Mariposa: What is wrong, dear Prince?

    Kijani: I didn't know that the lioness we confronted wants to eat me.

    Creative: That's Zira, Mom told me that she killed humans and that's why she is banished from Pride Rock.

    Kijani: What are humans?

    Applejack: A furless and tailless monkey. They can be found in places filled with giant stones, large trees and medium sized rocks.

    Twilight: Right, but we never seen them around here.

    Kijani: I am the only one who lives here. I am so different from everyone and some of our kind wants to eat me for dinner. Why is this so complicating, mother?

    Nala: Well, anyone evil living in the outlands wanted to eat man.

    Celestia: But not all livings are evil, we didn't eat you, did we?

    Kijani: No.

    Sarabi: One day, he'll understand something about his past, Cel. Give him a break.

    4. Scar's Legacy

    Meanwhile, in the outlands, all the outsiders were finding food while a black maned lion, Nuka was sulking to himself.

    Nuka: (muttering to himself) Kovu, kovu, kovu, Scar wasn't even his father, we just took him in. (Sees Vitani) Hey Vitani, where's little termite Kovu, the chosen one! (Scratched the branch that Vitani is grabbing on)

    Vitani: Nuka, where's Kovu? Did you leave him out there in his own again?!

    Nuka: Hey! It's every lion for himself out there, that little termite's gotta learn to be on his own!

    Vitani: Mother's gonna be mad, she told you to watch him!

    Nuka: Oh, who cares, I should've been the chosen one (scratches himself) I'm the oldest, the strongest, the smartest...Oooooogh! These termites! (Scratches even more) I could be the leader if she just give me a chance.

    Vitani: Yeah right, why don't you tell it to her!

    Nuka: Oh yeah, don't think I won't!

    Vitani: Oh yeah, here's your chance.

    Nuka: What, oh mother, mother, hi! (Sees Zira with Kovu) Mother, I caught some field mice for your dinner, I left them by the...ok.

    Vitani: (sees Kovu) Hey Kovu, wanna fight?

    Zira: (snarls at Nuka) You were supposed to be watching him!

    Kovu: It's not his fault, I went off on my own!

    Zira: What are you doing?

    Kovu: Nothing

    Zira: Who made us outsiders?

    Kovu: Simba!

    Zira: Who killed Scar?

    Kovu: Simba

    Zira: What have I told you about them!

    Kovu: I'm sorry, mother, they didn't seen so bad, I thought we could be...

    Zira: Friends? You thought you you'd get to those royal brats, and Simba would welcome you with open arms? What an idea! What an IDEA! You brilliant child! I am so proud of you. You have the same conniving mind that made Scar so powerful!

    Nuka: Yuck!

    Zira growls at him and takes Kovu to their own dead.

    Zira: I now see the path to our glorious return to power!

    Kovu: But I don't want...

    Zira: Hush! Hush my little one, you must be exhausted.

    Sleep, my little Kovu
    Let your dreams take wing
    One day when you're big and strong
    You will be a king

    Kovu: Good night...

    Zira: Good night, my little prince. Tomorrow, your training intensifies.

    I've been exiled, persucuted
    Left alone with no defense
    When I think of what that brute did
    I get a little tense

    But I dream a dream so pretty
    That I don't feel so depressed
    'Cause it soothes my inner kitty
    And it helps me get some rest

    The sound of Simba's dying gasp
    His daughter squealing in my grasp
    His lionesses' mournful cry
    That's my lullaby

    Now the past I've tried forgetting
    And my foes I could forgive
    Trouble is, I knows it's petty
    But I hate to let them live

    Nuka:
    So you found yourself somebody who'd chase Simba up a tree

    Zira:
    Oh, the battle may be bloody, but that kind of works for me

    The melody of angry growls
    A counterpoint of painful howls
    A symphony of death, oh my!
    That's my lullaby

    Scar is gone... but Zira's still around
    To love this little lad
    Till he learns to be a killer
    With a lust for being bad!

    Nuka:
    Sleep, ya little termite!
    Uh- I mean, precious little thing!

    Vitani:
    One day when you're big and strong

    Zira:
    You will be a king!

    The pounding of the drums of war
    The thrill of Kovu's mighty roar

    Nuka:
    The joy of vengeance

    Vitani:
    Testify!

    Zira:
    I can hear the cheering

    Nuka and Vitani:
    Kovu! What a guy!

    Zira:
    Payback time is nearing
    And then our flag will fly
    Against a blood-red sky

    All:
    That's my lullaby!

    5. The Story of my Life

    The next day, Nala announced to her children that it was bath time. The siblings hated taking a bath and they try to get out of here but Kiara, Kion and Kopa were easy to catch because all that Nala has to do is grab them by their necks. The other Cubs are so excited including Mariposa and Rarity because Rarity would complain about the mess on her white fur.

    Kiara: Run Kijani, save yourself.

    Kijani ran out of the cave and Simba would have to chase him. Celestia watches Simba try to catch Kijani while giving Creative her bath.

    Celestia: (giggle) They look funny, do they Creative?

    Creative: Yes Mom.

    Kijani kept on running until Simba caught him with his paws.

    Kijani: Hey!

    Simba: Okay, young lion, it's bath time. Come on now.

    Kijani: Yes, dad.

    Simba came back with Kijani, who grudgedly went to Nala.

    Simba: Why do you cubs get into fights when it comes to bath time?

    Sarabi: I remember a cub who hates getting baths too. He was afraid I mess up with his mane.

    Simba: Very funny, mom.

    Kijani: (while Nala gives him a bath) Haha, looks like I am not the only one who hates baths.

    Kiara, Kopa and Kion: (giggle.)

    Kopa: Why didn't you tell us all of this?

    Kion: Yeah?

    Nala: Your father wouldn't tell it to you because you are too young to understand it.

    Kijani: We wanna hear it, please.

    Simba: Sure.

    Kiara: How did this go on.

    Simba: You see, I was born on to your grandfather and grandmother. Everybody was so happy , all but one.

    Kijani: I remember my presentation.

    Kion: Me too.

    Kiara: Me three.

    Kopa: Me four.

    Simba: By the time I am old enough, I would go out and play but I would get to mischief and troubles and Zazu would babysit us.

    Zazu: Yes, fuzzy.

    Kopa: Fuzzy, HAHAHAHAHA!

    Kijani: I remember you babysitting us, banana beak.

    Zazu: It's Mr. Banana beak to you, blondie.

    Kiara: What happened next?

    Simba: I had good times with my father, your grandfather and your mother too until your grandfather was killed by scar.

    Jasiri: Who is Scar?

    Celestia: Scar was your grandfather's brother and your father's uncle. He killed Mufasa to become king of the Pride Land and driven Simba away with the hyenas.

    Kijani: Well, not all hyenas are bad. Asante and Jasiri are good hyenas.

    Kion: Yeah, you're right, Kijani.

    Timon: Oh, I know what happened next, we found him and taught him about Hakuna Matata, which means no worries.

    Pumbaa: Yeah, we swing on vines, bath in hot tubs, swim and eat bugs.

    Kijani: Wow, I love swinging on vines and swimming. I practice it with my friends.

    Kopa: And dad ate bugs, eeewww!

    Creative: Hakuna Matata!

    Celestia: (giggle) That's right, my Creative Spirit.

    Nala: Luckily, I am able to find your father but he doesn't wanna come back. The time he wants to come back is when he was convinced by Mufasa's ghost. When he came back, he saw everything destroyed. No food and no water.

    Simba: But I heard that the hyenas attacked humans and Scar ate four men.

    Kijani: Scar ate humans?

    Timon: It is true. Simba fought Scar and reclaim his rightful place as king of the Pride Lands.

    Kijani: Wow, I hope we can be great warriors of this place, just like you.

    Sela: Well, good luck.

    Twilight Sparkle: Yeah.

    Mariposa: I hope you, Kopa, Kion and Kiara will be great leaders.

    Kijani: Thank guys but I will be just like dad,

    Simba: Correct, children. I hope you will be as great as me, your grandfather and all of the great kings of the past one day.

    6. Lovely Sadie

    Ten years later and Kiara never saw Kovu again, everything is perfect just the way it is except that Simba is overprotective of his sons and daughter. He would let Timon and Pumbaa babysit them and the other youngsters but Kiara would wander off. Kijani created his own spear from a long stick with a sharpened stone tied to the end with a vine and a knife from a piece of metal and wood that he would shear off his facial hair with it and he would play tricks on Timon and Pumbaa instead of his older sister. Then he heard Timon and Pumbaa heading his way and hide.

    Kijani: Heeheeheehee!

    As Timon and Pumbaa were looking for food, Kijani and his brothers jumped right behind them.

    Kopa, Kion and Kijani: Boo!

    Timon and Pumbaa: Ah!

    The brothers laugh behind the duo because their prank worked.

    Timon: Hey, why did you do that for?

    Kopa: We got ya!

    Kion: We sure do!

    Kijani look around as if he's looking for something or someone.

    Kijani: Where's Kiara?

    Kopa: And the others.

    Unknown to them, the now-grown up Lion Guard and the other lions sneak up behind and jumped right behind them.

    Kiara, the Lion Guard and the other lions: Boo!

    Kopa, Kion and Kijani: Hey!

    Kiara: I got you, baby brothers!

    Timon: And that makes you even.

    Kiara: Are you ready for your first hunt? I know you are up to the challenge.

    Kijani: I'm on it.

    Kopa: We are all ready

    On the day before the hunt, the lions and lionesses would train the young ones in hunting and self defense. Jasiri got used to fighting in hand-to-hand combat but he only uses his new weapons for hunting and protecting himself from other creatures. On the day of the first hunt, where all the other lions are emerging to take part in their first hunt. Nala is walking towards Simba, who is sitting at the end of the assembled lionesses. He looks quite worried and sad, but he sighs gently and forces a smile when Nala reaches him.

    The other lionesses: Wow, her first hunt! You must be so proud, ladies. Here they are!

    The young lions and lionesses emerge from over a hill on the trail. Kiara looks at Rafiki, who is standing next to the path. She looks worried until Rafiki speaks to her.

    Rafiki: Kiara.

    Celestia: Good luck, children!

    Melody Song: She'll be great.

    Pizzazz Perfect: Mariposa's first hunt!

    Granny Smith: You can do it, Applejack!

    Twilight Velvet: It's your day, Twilight.

    Cup Cake: Good luck, Kiara!

    Sarafina: My, how you've grown!

    As Nala nuzzles her children, Simba looks glum on that day.

    Nala: You'll do just fine, children.

    Kiara: Daddy... you have to promise to let me do this on my own. Promise?

    Simba glances at Nala, who raises her eyebrows at him. He rolls his eyes upward acquiescently.

    Simba: All right... I promise.

    They rub heads; Timon and Pumbaa break into tears. Kiara looks back, and then runs off into the fields. Simba moves surreptitiously over to Timon and Pumbaa.

    Simba: (quietly) Make sure she doesn't get hurt.

    Timon and Pumbaa begin humming in a show of nonchalance, and sidle away off the rock until they drop over the side and out of view. As the hunt goes on, the siblings were unaware of a group of humans, exploring the Savannah for animals to study and help.

    Louis: I thought I saw something, dad!

    Dr. Parker: A hippopotamus amphibious, or a rhinoceros-

    Desmond: Father, don't move!

    Dr. Parker: Oh, right.

    Sadie: Daddy? Ow. Daddy, what's all the hullabaloo about? What is it, Daddy?

    Mrs. Parker: Shh, your brother asked me not to move. He saw something. Oh, I moved.

    Sadie: Uh, guys, sorry, excuse me, uh, but we came on this expedition to study animals.

    Katie: And I think your shooting might be scaring them off.

    Penelope: Yeah, it's not right to shoot, it's poaching!

    Frederick: Mama and papa asked me to protect you, big sis, and protect you I shall.

    Penelope: And you're doing a marvelous job of it.

    Katie: But we only have a short time before we go back home and you see-

    Mrs. Parker: Sadie, Sadie, do you realize what you're standing in? A lion's paw print.

    George: Oh, Daddy!

    Desmond: At last! Our first sign in days!

    Katie: Do you think the beasts could be nearby?

    Marie: Well, they could be. There's the evidence, you know.

    Lucy: And they're so fascinating.

    Frederick: Daddy, look! Over there and there and-

    Dr. Parker: Yes! More paw prints! I see them!

    Mrs. Parker: Just as you predicted, dear!

    Penelope: Family groups!

    Dr. Parker: Oh kids, I love you!

    Desmond: Family groups? Excuse me, but these are wild animals that would sooner take your head off than look at you!

    Sadie: On the contrary, baby brother. Daddy's theory is that these are social creatures-guys, please!

    Katie: What if it's a lion? Have you listened in veterinary college studies?

    Penelope: We girls took that course to be an animal doctor! I can't wait to give animals first aid.

    Desmond: It's no lion. Perhaps we should press on.

    George: Yes indeed. Now we should keep heading west...

    Sadie: Are you what all the fuss was about? Daddy, daddy quick! Grrr!

    Sadie walks off in anger to find an animal to draw.

    Penelope: Sadie!

    Elsa: Sadie, Wait for me!

    Sadie: My brothers never know about animals except for me.

    Suddenly, a hyena named Chrysalis corners Sadie. The hyena has spots all over her and she has dark green locks of fur on her head. Behind her is an army of hyenas.

    Sadie: Uh oh!

    Chrysalis: What is a tasty human doing in here all alone?

    Sadie: Nice hyena!

    But Chrysalis growls in response for she and her pack wanted Sadie for dinner.

    Sadie: (quietly) If all else fails, run! (Zooms away, with a pack of hyenas chasing her in the Savannah.)

    The hyenas chased Sadie in the grasslands but when a wildfire spreads all over, the scavengers scampered for cover. Meanwhile, in Pride Rock, Simba paces back and forth.

    Zazu: Don't worry, Simba. She'll be fine. What could happen?

    Simba looks up and gasps as he sees the smoke rising.

    Simba: No... no! Kiara! (he turns to Zazu) Zazu! Fly ahead. Find her!

    Kiara is following a pair of zebras away from the flames, but finds herself trapped and hemmed in on all sides with Sadie, choking on the thick smoke. The girls sees a high stone overhang above the flames; Kiara leaps up and tried to climb up the side while Sadie uses rope to climb up, but they falls unconscious upon reaching the top. A shadow appears from the smoke and looms over her; she wakes for a moment and sees him baring his teeth down at her, then loses consciousness again. The lip grabs the nape of her neck and throws her body on top of his, and begins to carry her away from the fire with the other lions, who are still okay as well as Sadie, tied on Kijani's back. The lions leap across chasms with flames roaring, and then tumbles with Kiara down a slope into a pool of water, where Kiara begins to sink. the mysterious lion dives for her and drags her to shore. Zazu, flying overhead, watches the event.

    Zazu: (gasps)I must tell Simba!

    Zazu flies back to Pride Rock. The lion drags Kiara to shore, and she wakes up, gasping for breath.

    Sadie and Kiara: Where am I

    ?: You're safe... in the Pride Lands.

    Kiara: (bewildered) The Pride Lands... no! Why did you bring me here? Who do you think you are

    ?: I think I'm the one who just saved your life!

    Kiara: Look! I had everything under control!

    Sadie: (unties herself and can understands all animals) What's going on?

    ?: Not from where I'm standing.

    Kiara: Then move downwind.

    The lions confront each other. Kiara begins jumping from side to side, as she had done in their earlier encounter as cubs. Soon his interest is piqued.

    ?: What are you doing?

    Kiara: (recognizing him) Kovu?

    Kijani: That's him?

    Kopa: As a matter of fact, he is, bro.

    Kion: Yeah.

    Mariposa: He seemed to be different from the other outsiders.

    Simba: (off-screen) Children!

    Simba and the lionesses from Pride Rock arrive. Simba jumps in front of Kiara, snarling and growling.

    Nala: Kiara, Kopa, Kion, Kijani! You're all right.

    Kiara: Father... how could you break your promise?

    Simba: It's a good thing I did. I almost lost you. No more hunts for you; not ever!

    Kiara: But I was doing just fine! Even before Kovu-

    Simba: Kovu? {he roars at Kovu again}

    Nala: (surprised at his ferocity) Simba? (Simba glares at her.)

    Sadie: Oh, I'm in the savannah with a man who talks to cats! Oh, I can't do this, I can't-oh, this is good, this is very good, I-wait, one two, aah! Oh, it can't get any worse, can it? Obviously it can.

    Simba: (sniffs at Sadie and turns at Kovu) You saved her, why?

    Sadie: Why did he sniff at me?

    Kijani: She can understand us?

    Kopa: Dad didn't see you as an enemy.

    Sadie: Why? Am I an enemy?

    Kion: No, but you look familiar.

    Then they heard a voice and it's her sister, Penelope, her cousin, Katie and Elsa, Sadie's best friend and colleague.

    Elsa: Sadie! Sadie! (See Sadie) There you are! Do you have any idea how worried I am if anything happen to you?

    Penelope: You're safe with us, sis.

    Katie: Good thing you're safe.

    Kijani: Another one?

    She turned and see a group of lions.

    Elsa: A pride of lions! Amazing!

    Sadie: I know this is crazy but I see a wild guy with a pride of lions over here. No offense, I can talk to animals like my entire family.

    Penelope: Me too.

    Katie: So does I.

    Elsa: A boy with lions? Strange. Wait, you can understand what those majestic beasts are saying? It seems you and your family have some kind of ability that allow you to communicate with animals.

    Sadie: It is true but let's just say, it's a gift.

    Rafiki has arrived, and is standing on the hillside behind Simba.

    Rafiki: Hey! You! How dare you save the King's daughter?

    Simba: You saved her? Why?

    Kovu: I humbly ask to join your pride.

    Simba: (immediately) No! You were banished with the other Outsiders.

    Kovu: I have left the Outsiders. I am a rogue. Judge me now, for what I am... or am I to be blamed for a crime I didn't commit?

    Simba snarls and paces around. Nala looks hard at him.

    Nala: Simba... you owe him your daughter's life and the girl that Kijani had saved has the ability to talk to all of us.

    Zazu: Mmm... yes, sire. Clearly we are in his debt... and royal protocol demands that all debts be paid. Though in this case you might want to make an exception.

    Simba paces a few moments more, then comes to a decision.

    Simba: Hmmm. My father's law will prevail. For now, I reserve judgment. We'll see who you really are. (Turns to Sadie and her family) Come with us, looks like we need more than one paw.

    Kovu smiles inwardly and looks sidelong at Kiara, who smiles back at him. Zazu turns his back on Kovu.

    Zazu: Humph! Riffraff.

    Zazu flies off. All make their way back to Pride Rock, with Kovu walking behind Simba and the Parkers as well as their friends and growling to himself.

    Mrs. Parker: Well, we can study him when we have time.

    Katie: So, we'll stay in our house for tonight.

    Elsa: Where do you live?

    Louis: Near Pride Rock. It's here. (Points at the house, which is built with the largest tree in the middle.)

    Sadie: C'mon

    As night falls over Pride Rock and the Lions' new human allies went back to their tree house, Simba notices Kovu about to go into the inner cavern with the lionesses; he jumps in front of Kovu with a growl and intimidates him away from the cavern opening as he goes inside. Kovu walks out onto the rocks to sleep. Kiara goes out to speak to him.

    Kiara: Hey... uh, thanks for saving me today.

    Kovu: What kind of hunter are you, anyway- Princess? You almost got yourself killed out there.

    Kiara: What?

    Kovu: You wouldn't last three days on your own.

    Kiara: (provoked) Oh... and I suppose you could teach me?

    Kovu: Heh... yeah.

    Simba: (offscreen) Kiara! Kion, Kopa and Kijani are waiting for you!

    Kiara: Coming! (She turns back to Kovu) All right- impress me. We start at dawn.

    Kiara walks back to the cavern; Kovu continues speaking to himself.

    Kovu: (chuckles) I look forward to it.

    The camera pulls back to where Nuka and Zira sit watching from a nearby hill.

    Nuka: Oh... oh... d-d-did you see that?! He let her go! If that were me-

    Zira: Hush. The fire-rescue worked perfectly, and Simba fell for it. Now, the closer Kovu gets to the daughter, the closer he gets to Simba! And once he has Simba alone... rraaagh! (she emphasizes her point by swatting a young tree from its trunk)

    In the tree house, everybody fell asleep that night. Then, Elsa heard a noise. She woke up and saw Sadie, who is wide awake.

    Elsa: Sadie? Why are you awake?

    Sadie: I just gave the lion my favorite blue blanket. He is a bit chilled.

    Elsa: That's very nice of you to do that. But there's something about him that I sense in him, like he's hiding something.

    Sadie: And the lion I comforted had a nightmare. I sang him this song.

    Sun goes down and we are here together
    Fireflies glow like a thousand charms
    Stay with me and you can dream forever
    Right here in my arms

    It's magic, when you are here beside me
    Close your eyes and let me hold you tight
    Everything, that I could ever need is
    Right here in my arms tonight

    Sounds of day fade away
    Stars begin to climb

    Melodies fill the breeze
    Sweeter all the time

    My love...
    (Sun goes down and we are here together)
    Is always with you, whether near or far
    (Fireflies glow like a thousand charms)
    How sweet to hold you
    (Stay with me and you can dream forever)
    Right here in my arms tonight

    Elsa: That's sweet of you, you always know a way to help animals. But as right now, let's get some sleep.

    Sadie: Okay

    Original song: watch?v=MDHtotU58IE

    7. Hello, Lovers

    The next day, the Parkers took an examination on Kijani as he is playing with the Lion Guard, Kopa and Kion.

    Louis: Here it is, Romulus and Remus, the founders of the Roman Empire raised by wolves.

    Penelope: It's a legend.

    Marie: There are a lot of legends based on the stuff that really happened.

    Sadie: But there are documented cases of children raised by animals.

    Dr. Parker: Take the gazelle boy of Africa, John Ssebunya in Uganda and others.

    Lucy: What about Kamala and Amala?.

    Penelope: No, they have a mental illness and besides, some are hoaxes.

    Roland: Do they ever grow up to be normal?

    Ashley: Very few, it's a delicate mission.

    Sadie: It is true. We have to be patient, compassionate and do it with care.

    Elsa: Right.

    Vivian: Did you see how he walks? He walks like a lion.

    Frederick: His hair is shaggy and messy like a lion's mane and the nails are long.

    Magnus: And he refuses to eat my waffles.

    Ashley: And he left scratches on my door.

    Katie: And he is such a cat person, you know, like a werecat.

    Elsa: Maybe because he's raised by lions. Like Tarzan is raised by gorillas.

    Sadie: And he copies everything I say.

    Kijani: Say.

    Dr. Parker: Maybe you can teach him, my girl.

    Penelope: Sure, but first, he needs a bath and clothes. Peeee-hewwww!

    Katie: So gross. he smells like lion poop.

    As Kijani was given a bath by Louis, Sadie took out her childhood toys with the girls.

    Sadie: Everything okay?

    Louis: Everything's fine! AHHHHH!

    The sisters chuckled as a splash was heard all over the house. Louis came out of the bathroom, all wet.

    Louis: He loved bathing in the tub, we both did but he tore this into pieces whenever I want to put this on him.

    Sadie: How about this. (Takes out her leopard spotted sarong that she is wearing and gives it to him.) it has my scent on because he gets used to me.

    Louis enters the bathroom and takes Kijani out, who is now wearing Sadie's sarong. Jasiri sniffs at her friends.

    Ashley: He's so brave.

    Katie: No, he's a little shy.

    Sadie: I guess we are ready.

    For the rest of the day, Sadie teaches him the human language, walking upright, etiquette and manners while Kijani taught her how to swing on the vines, swim and other outdoor activities but what they enjoy is target practice because Sadie is good at archery while Kijani uses his spear. The more they spend time together with the lions, Kijani felt close to Sadie as if he wants her for a mate. After having fun, Frederick alarmed everybody of what he researched in the Internet.

    Frederick: Guys, check out what I have seen here, in old newspapers from a long time ago, Zuberi River, Africa. Listen to this: Lion Attack incident on a Socialite family, wealthy animal activist, John Radcliffe and his family ran off in their yacht from United Kingdom to Serengeti Tanzania. As they try to survive this place, John Radcliffe, his wife, Holly Radcliffe, their eighteen year old daughter, Amber and their newborn son, Jonathan have been attacked by a group of lions. Here's the hint: the natives and the safari team recovered the bodies of John, Holly and Amber in their yacht in Tanzania but Jonathan was never found?

    Hildegarde: Could he be Jonathan?

    Elsa: There's a slight fifty percent chance he could be.

    Kijani: Where is Kiara?

    Sadie: Who is she?

    Kopa: Our older sister.

    Desmond: What does she look like?

    Kion: A lioness, she is the heir and the eldest sister. She was born first among this litter.

    Sadie: We'd better let them go back. We'll look for evidence tomorrow.

    Elsa: Hey guys, what did that lion say?

    Katie: He wants to find Kiara, their older sister.

    Elsa: I see, I sense that they're looking for her as well.

    Penelope: Yeah, I can understand their empathy as well.

    Elsa: Alright

    As Kijani and the lions went back to Pride Rock, Sadie felt a sense inside her, which is connecting her to the boy as they ran back home.

    8. Not One of Us

    The next day, Kovu was confused about his destiny of love or fate. As Sadie went to Pride Rock, he saw her holding some books.

    Kovu: Um, Sadie right?

    Sadie: Yeah, why?

    Kovu: Okay- I have to tell her today. Oh... where do I start? "Kiara... Zira had a plot- and I was part of it. But I don't wanna be, because- it's because I love you. {sighs} Oh, she'll never believe me. But I gotta try.

    Sadie: Just have the courage to do it.

    Kovu: Thanks, Amirah.

    Sadie: Amirah? (Looks in her Swahili book) Oh, it means princess too, like my name, Sadie.

    Kovu: (tries to talk to Kiara) Kiara... I need to talk to you.

    Simba: (sternly) Kiara... I don't want you talking with him. (softening) I want to talk with him.

    As Simba and Kovu were talking, Sadie was so confused why Kovu translated her name in Swahili.

    Sadie: Amirah?

    Elsa: Kovu called you Amirah?

    Sadie: It's Swahili for princess. Some called me Kibibi, Saida and many more Swahili names meaning princess because my name, Sadie has the same meaning.

    Penelope: Wow, they could guess the meaning of your name.

    Katie: What a coincidence.

    Elsa: If my calculation are correct, I think it's because you're a princess or something. Not sure why he call you that name.

    Sadie: I don't know why.

    Katie: I dunno either.

    Suddenly, she heard a loud roars and growls. Sadie runs to the Savannah where she saw Simba cornered by the outsiders.

    Sadie: I know what to do. (Turns to the other side and does a Tarzan-like yell)

    At a minute of Sadie's jungle call, Chumvi, Kula, Tama, Malka, Tojo, Mheetu and Mtoto as well as Celestia, Luna, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Creative Spirit, Mariposa, Sela and the other lions arrived.

    Twilight Sparkle: We came here as soon as we heard the call.

    Creative Spirit: What happened?

    Mariposa: What's going on?

    Elsa: Those lions are hurting him! We have to help him!

    Sadie: I know he can do this, when he gets tired, we'll handle them. (Loads her bow and arrows)

    Katie: Oh no!

    Penelope: We'd better hurry and get there quick!

    The chase goes on until the girls and the other lions saw Simba escaping the logs, which killed Nuka. After that, Sadie, Penelope, Elsa and the lions rushed to Simba's side and lead him back to Pride Rock.

    Elsa: Will he be alright Sadie?

    Sadie: I got my stethoscope and check the heartbeat. Good thing I learn veterinary skills and zoology from dad since my part-time job in high school and learning college in veterinary medicine. (Takes out her stethoscope in her veterinary bag and checks Simba's heartbeat) Oh, he is exhausted, let's get him back home and give a checkup.

    As Sadie, Penelope, Katie, Elsa and the other lions help Simba, who is walking wearily back to Pride Rock. Kiara, Kopa, Kion and Kijani as well as the Lion Guard see him from a distance off.

    Kiara: Father...

    Kion: Father! Zazu, get help!

    Zazu: (flying off) Oh yes! Help... at once! Of course!

    Simba is walking with great pain. Kiara, Kopa, Kion, Jasiri, Timon, and Pumbaa reach him.

    Kiara: Father...?

    Timon: Simba! Talk to me! What happened?

    Simba: (Simba coughs, wheezing, having a hard time speaking) Kovu... (a painful breath of air) Ambush...

    Simba collapses on his side, groaning in pain.

    Kiara: No...

    Timon grabs Simba's tail and hugs it; Pumbaa hoists Simba on his back, and they start to drag him back to Pride Rock.

    Timon: It's all right, buddy... we're here for you.

    Sadie: Right now, we'll give you a checkup.

    Back at Pride Rock, Sadie gave him a full checkup.

    Elsa: I knew it! I knew that lion name Kovu was hiding something! I sense it right through him!

    Sadie: No, he ran off, just as he did. I heard that he didn't have anything to do with it. (To Fluttershy) My prescription is that he needs some water to bring his strength back. This is a bad case of exhaustation.

    Penelope: Oh, he's waking up.

    Simba: (wakes up) I knew he did this. I pass this judgement now when he comes back.

    Kijani: Okay, father. (Looks at Sadie) See you, Amirah.

    Sadie: Sure thing.

    After Sadie, Penelope, Katie and Elsa left, Jasiri's face turned red like a red balloon.

    Kijani: I just felt a connection to her.

    Kion: Like a mate eh? She's perfect for you, ya know.

    Kijani: What!

    Nala: Face it like a real lion, she's a human just like you.

    Kijani: I really knew her after learning my human heritage.

    Kion: Yeah, you also have that thing for her like I have a thing for Aja.

    Kopa: And Shani too

    Kijani: Yeah, I remember.

    Kopa, Kion and Kijani: HAHAHAHAHA!

    It was just in time when Kovu was judged. Kiara, Nala, Sarafina, Sarabi, Celestia and Luna were worried, Kijani, Kopa, Kion Celestia, Luna, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Creative Spirit, Mariposa, Sela and their friends were confused while Chumvi, Kula, Tojo, Malka, Tama, Mheetu, Mtoto, the other lions and lionesses were very furious.

    Kiara: Daddy... it can't be true.

    Simba: Why have you come back?

    Kovu: Simba... I had nothing to do with-

    Simba: You don't belong here.

    Kovu: Please... I ask your forgiveness.

    Kiara: Daddy, please... listen to him!

    Simba: (to Kiara) Silence! (to Kovu) When you first came here, you asked for judgment...

    All: Give him what he deserves!

    Simba: ...And I pass it now.

    All: Kick him out! That's right! Judgment day is here!

    Simba: Exile!

    Kiara: No!

    The animals started to shoo Kovu out of Pride Lands.

    Kiara: No! ...Kovu!

    9. Truth Revealed

    The hour after the exile, Kiara was so devastated that she ran off to the Savannah. The Lion Guard, Kijani, Kopa, Kion and their friends, sensing her run out of sight, tries to follow her but they bumped to Sadie and her team.

    Kijani: Oh, hi Amirah.

    Katie: What's the rush?

    Kopa: Our sister ran off.

    Elsa: What did Kopa say?

    Penelope: Kiara ran off.

    Elsa: Ran off? You mean she run away?

    Kijani: (talks to them) Yes.

    Sadie: We'd better search in the Zuberi River, we'll find her there.

    Elsa: Alright.

    So Kijani, Sadie, Penelope, Elsa, Kopa, Kion, Sadie's siblings and the other lions ran off to the banks of Zuberi River. As they are looking for Kiara, they saw the abandoned yacht, which is now rooted in the riverbank.

    Sadie: I have seen this before. It's from dad's old newspapers about the Radcliffe lion attack.

    Louis: Yeah, it is a match.

    Katie: It is true, it's a coincidence.

    Frederick: And now, it's abandoned.

    Kijani: It really bothers me than Timon and Pumbaa's cutting in our hunt.

    Sela: This the place where Celestia and Luna found Kijani.

    Kopa: Maybe there's something interesting inside, let's go.

    Kijani and his allies enter the yacht and they saw many belongings inside. There is a shelf of plush toys in the form of zebras, giraffes, lions, leopards, antelopes and other animals, a poster that says, Save the Leopards, newspapers about awareness campaigns of saving endangered animals and many more. Kijani went into the familiar side of the the yacht and he saw the crib where he was found by Celestia and Luna many years ago.

    Elsa: Guys, I think this is the Radcliffe yacht.

    Katie: Yeah, everything that uncle read about in the newspaper is true.

    Kijani takes out the blankets from where he used to lie down as a baby and he cries.

    Penelope: (Comforts Kijani) Jonathan? It's okay, it was a long time ago.

    Katie: Just leave it behind and go with the future.

    Kijani: It was Zira and the outsiders, they killed my real family.

    Elsa: Zira? Who's Zira?

    Sela: An outsider.

    Sadie: (takes out the journal that she have found years ago.) We'll talk about it later, right now, we're going back to Pride Rock with everything we have found.

    After salvaging everything from the yacht, they returned to Pride Rock. Kijani sat down on the center of the den and looked at the ground.

    Celestia: What is wrong, Kijani?

    Kijani: I have discovered my origin when I was looking for Kiara.

    Timon: You found your origin?

    Sela: Amirah and the others found a lot of things in the man leaf rider.

    Penelope: It must be the link to Kijani's life story.

    Katie: Everything uncle read is true.

    Sadie: It is an evidence right here. (Opens the journal) here it is: January 17 1997
    As I gave my donations from every animal rescue centers, I was happy that Amber broke up with the man who happens to be a poacher but my father warned me that he will try to gain vengeance on me and my family so I packed everything we had in our yacht and sailed away.

    Timon: Yeech, I am tired to listening to some jibber jabber.

    Penelope: Please, you little meerkat.

    Pumbaa: I think it's interesting, read more.

    Sadie: Okay, January 19 1997: A storm came in and we strived hard to survive. Our yacht was almost destroyed until we got swept into this place called Serengeti, Africa. For three months, I would go out and find food for my wife, Lucy, my daughter, Amber and my baby boy, Jonathan.

    Elsa: The Radcliffes are so generous.

    Sadie: Well, there was one that has a letter attached to it.

    Sarabi: What is it?

    Sadie: (reading the journal) Here it is, January 31: It was our fifth night here in the jungle as we are getting ready for bed but I heard growling sounds. I thought it was any of us but when I peeked into the window of the yacht, I can't believe my eyes. There are skinny looking lionesses with dark eyespots and black noses, lead by their chief, who is also a lioness. It has a streak on top of its head, black eyespots and it has a nasty grin on her face. I was afraid that they might eat all of us so we barricaded Jonathan's crib, I grabbed my rifle and tried to defend our home but...

    Kijani: What is this? (Takes out the letter) Dearest Jonathan, All of this animal activism I am doing is for the benefit for all living creatures from all over the world. I know that everybody doesn't care of doing what is right but I want everybody to start over and do what is truly right for everybody and all the living things around us. What I have learned from all of my cooperation is this phrase: "We Are One". From your father, John.

    Elsa: Looks like he really does care about you Kijani.

    Penelope: Like dad, Simba and Mufasa.

    Katie: That's right, uncle James adopted me as his niece when we were babies.

    Sadie: Jonathan, because of this, will you ask the outsiders to accept our friendship and fulfill your father's last wish to you?

    Kijani: Yes, we will.

    Timon: I hate to break it but I can't believe we lost your sister again. (To Pumbaa) This is the eight thousandth time!

    Pumbaa: Ooh!

    Timon: I thought you were gonna watch her!

    Pumbaa: Me? You were gonna watch her!

    Timon: I thought you were gonna watch her!

    Pumbaa: No, you were gonna watch her!

    Timon: You were gonna watch her!

    Pumbaa: Aah, watch this! {he leaps onto Timon}

    Timon: Ow! Take that, you creepy warthog! Say it! Say it!

    Pumbaa: Fat! Fat! Fatty fat fat!

    {Timon and Pumbaa are all-out wrestling when Simba approaches. When he speaks, they leap to attention.}

    Simba: What are you doing?

    Sadie: We have found something interesting.

    Kijani: I have to finish my birth father's last wish.

    Celestia: It's the prophecy of the Pride Lands.

    Timon: Good question! Now let me ask one.

    Pumbaa: Hippo-thetically...

    Timon: Very hypo-thetical, there's this guy...

    Pumbaa: But he's not a lion...

    Timon: No! No, he's not a lion... yeesh. (Simba is looking amused) Definitely not a lion. And, uh... uh... his daughter, um, say... vanished.

    Simba: Kiara is gone?

    Zazu flies into the den to tell everybody the bad new.

    Zazu: Sire! The Outsiders are on the attack... heading this way! It's war!

    Simba: Zazu! Find Kiara! We'll assemble the lionesses. Move! Now!

    Sadie: I'll help you with the alliance, sire (Uses the Tarzan call and Chumvi, Kula, Tama, Malka, Tojo, Mheetu, Mtoto and all of the lions arrive) Looks like we're ready.

    10. We are One

    Zira: If you will not fight... then you will die as well.

    (Some of Zira's lionesses begin to move over onto Simba's side. Zira's eyes begin to panic as her whole pride leaves her.)

    Zira: Wh-wha... Where are you going? Get back here!

    Simba: Let it go, Zira. It's time to put the past behind us.

    Zira: (now alone) I'll never let it go!

    More logs pile up in the river, forming a dam.

    Zira: This is for you, Scar!

    Zira leaps at Simba, but Kiara and Sadie catch her in mid-flight and rolls over with her; the two lionesses and the young girl tumble down the embankment.

    Simba: Kiara!

    Kovu: Kiara!

    Jasiri: Sadie!

    Louis: Sadie, no!

    Desmond: Sadie!

    Frederick: Sadie!

    Penelope: Sadie!

    Katie: Sadie!

    All lions: Kiara! Amirah!

    All: Sadie!

    Simba jumps down the slope, trying desperately to reach Kiara and Sadie, but she and Zira have already fallen too far for him to catch up. Kiara manages to catch a hold on the ledge, slowing her descent enough for her to jump onto a small ledge with Sadie. Zira clings to the rocks some distance below Kiara, hanging by her front paws.

    Nala: Hold on, Kiara,

    Kijani: Hold on Amirah!

    The dam of logs breaks; the river suddenly begins to swell to many times its normal flow.

    Nala: Simba! Simba- the river!

    The river is rapidly rushing to fill the canyon. Simba leaps from rock face to rock face, trying to reach Kiara. Below, Zira hangs precariously from the rock face. Kiara is above on the ledge with Sadie.

    Kiara: Zira! Give me your paw!

    Zira swipes at Kiara, growling. She slips further down the rock face; she glances at the tumbling water and logs below.

    Zira: Ahh... ahhh...

    Kiara: Zira, come on... I'll help you...

    Sadie: Please!

    She lets go, and falls back-first into the churning water below. The water and logs carry her under, and the flow in the canyon gradually subsides. Kovu looks down where his mother fell, closes his eyes, and lets out a sigh. Simba is waiting on the rocks near Kiara and Sadie.

    Simba: Kiara...

    Kiara: Daddy... I tried...

    After Zira's death, Simba helped Kiara and Sadie up to the top of the cliff.

    Nala: Kiara... oh.

    Pumbaa: Wow... that was really brave!

    Timon: Yeee-haaa!

    Kiara and Kovu approach each other as Kopa and Kion approach their own girlfriends, Aja and Shani.

    Kiara: Kovu...

    Kovu: Oh, Kiara.

    Kijani: Ahem, dad?

    Simba: Kovu... I was wrong. You belong here.

    Kiara leans into Kovu while Kopa and Kion with Aja and Shani nuzzled with each other as well as Kijani cuddles Sadie.

    Simba: Let's go home... all of us.

    A day after the incident, Sadie's family and friends came together to set up a wedding for Kijani and Sadie.

    Sadie: What do you think of my own design of my wedding dress? (Shows a design of an African style wedding gown with one long sleeve on the right side and the gown skirt has fluttery creases on it)

    Elsa: It's beautiful Sadie.

    Penelope: It really fits you, I made the design of the decorations, it will be as beautiful as Africa itself.

    Katie: I helped her with the patterns and I did the colorations for the bridesmaids' dresses, mom's dress and anything that matches the theme.

    Sadie: Thanks, (turns to her father) Dad, how did the checkup go?

    Dr. Parker: Good. Jasiri was discovered to be Jonathan Radcliffe because of the DNA test. The doctors took a blood sample of the father, mother and his sister and they took a blood sample from Kijani. It was a match and the Radcliffe wealth is now transferred to him as well.

    Penelope: It was a wonderful news, dad! I can't wait for the wedding to come!

    Dr. Parker: I am so proud of you, honey.

    Ashley: Here's the design of the gowns and outfits. The bridesmaid dresses are African styled with animal prints and tribal patterns. Sadie's bouquet will be perfect. It has African daisies, irises, orchids, purple lilies, kniphofias, queen lilies, violets, hibiscus, delphiniums and protea flowers, which will be used on the animals' garlands, the flower girls' hair accessories, the guys' boutonnieres and flower arrangements.

    Hildegarde: Everybody's gonna wear formal clothes with the colors of African Safari itself.

    Penelope: Well, the four tiered cake's gonna match your theme. It will be made out of chocolate with its fondant frosting and icing in animal prints. It has candy flowers in it and a pair of lions on top.

    Sadie: Aww, that's sweet.

    Lucy: You know, Jonathan is not gonna wear a tux, unlike the others, he is gonna wear something tribal African. He is gonna wear something like this. (Shows them a design of Kijani's wedding outfit. A Greek-tunic style outfit in traditional African patterns, a colorful cape and matching bracers.)

    Elsa: He'll look very handsome in it.

    Suddenly, a Tarzan-like call was heard.

    Sadie: Oh, I gotta go to my date.

    Louis: Kijani? I mean, Jonathan Radcliffe?

    Lucy: Is it a date?

    Sadie: Yes, gotta swing off! (Swings on a vine and went off)

    After many dates and untimely preparations, Sadie and Kijani were watching the moonlight from Pride Rock.

    Sadie: What made you think of me when I first met you?

    Kijani: Your ability to understand us.

    Sadie: It was a special gift and a hereditary one as well. Everyone said that we descended from a girl who was raised by lions, like you. Her name is Vella but her real name is Velouria.

    Kijani: How did you know?

    Sadie: I read her life story. She was raised by the first king of Pride Lands and she had a gift that no one had. It was the power to talk to animals. She had adventures with her three brothers and three sisters as well as her animal friends. She was happy to be with the animals until she fell in love too, with a young man who seem to understand her. They got married and lived happily ever after.

    Kijani: Wow, so is this the love she experienced?

    Sadie: Yes! (Then, they both kissed)

    Unknown to them, Timon and Pumbaa watched them from a bush.

    Timon: What do you call that thing those two were doing?

    At the day of the wedding, all the people and animals arrive at the wedding ceremony. The lionesses, Fuli, Asante, Jasiri and the female animals wore lovely leis made out of African flowers while the lions and the male animals had their fur completely neat as they sat in lines, facing the aisle while Simba, Nala, Kovu, Kiara, Kopa, Aja, Kion and Shani, who were wearing flowers as well accompanied Jasiri, who is standing beside the altar. As Hildegarde, the maid of honor and Louis, the best man, the bridesmaids and their matching groomsmen, the junior bridesmaids and junior groomsmen, the flower girls, the ringbearer, the coin bearer and the bible bearer finished walking down the aisle, the bridal March was played. Sadie walked down the aisle in her African style wedding gown, veil, a crown of dolichos flowers and her lovely bouquet with her mother and father escorting her until she reached the altar, where the priest uniting her and Kijani, who is wearing his African robes as one. After the ceremony was done, Timon and Pumbaa, who were wearing bow ties were so happy for the prince.

    Pumbaa: I love moments like this.

    Timon: Yeah...

    Timon and Pumbaa: ...Love. Not like... love!

    Zazu isn't amused as Timon and Pumbaa burst into tears. Zazu shields himself with his wings.

    After the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom rode an elephant and Simba and Nala lead the procession to the reception where everybody including all the lions and animals congratulated the newlywed Kijani and Sadie.

    Vivian: C'mon guys, let's get this party started.

    (Penelope grabs a microphone as everybody started dancing to her song, Love is in Bloom while Katie turned on the DJ turntables.)

    Love is in bloom
    A beautiful bride, a handsome groom,
    Two hearts becoming one
    A bond that cannot be undone because

    Love is in bloom
    A beautiful bride, a handsome groom
    I said love is in bloom
    You're starting a life and making room
    For us (For us, For us...)
    Your special day

    We celebrate now, the safari way
    Your friends are all right here
    Won't let these moments disappear because

    (The song continues as snapshots of each moment was shown from Kijani and Sadie eating a slice of their cake together, Elsa dancing with a cute guy she met in the wedding, Simba, Nala and Kiara caught Kovu eating the sausages that he snatched from the buffet, Vitani flirting with a cute lion, Kopa and Kion impressing Aja and Shani and many more.)

    Love is in bloom
    A beautiful bride, a handsome groom
    I said love is in bloom
    You're starting a life and making room
    For us, (For us... For us... Aah...)

    Jasiri: Are you ready?

    Sadie: Oh, I almost forgot! (Throws her bouquet)

    Jasiri: I got this. (Takes off Sadie's garter and shoots it in the air like a slingshot.)

    Elsa: The bouquet is mine!

    (She tries to catch the bouquet but Kiara got it first)

    Elsa: What!

    The boys tried to catch Sadie's garter but Kovu met caught it first.

    Kiara: Now that is great wedding.

    Kovu: Just wait till you see what we did in our boys only party!

    All: Hahahahha!
