It's been 1 year since Kion became King of The Tree of Life and he's been having fun with his friends, his mate and his relatives-in-law. However, the last month he started to miss his parents and Kiara. He couldn't concentrate on his duties, but he was concentrated when he was fighting Makucha, Chuluun, Ora and Mama Binturong, when they were trying to take over The Tree of Life because it reminded him of the good old times had when he was The Leader of The Lion Guard. However he couldn't stop thinking about his father, mother and sister. Soon he started to talk while he was sleeping, he was saying stuff like: "No. Please. Forgive me." And "I'm so sorry." Rani was heard that and woke up, unlike the rest of The Night Pride as they were still sleeping, she realized that Kion was having a hightmare. She decided to wake him up without bothering the others.

Rani said quietly: "Kion, wake up." Kion woke up and he saw Rani giving him a worried look. Kion: "Rani? Did I wake you up?" Rani answered: "I'm fine. Are you OK? You seemed to have a nightmare." Kion: "Yes. I did. It was terrible." Rani said with smile: "How about we talk outside?" Kion: "OK"

Kion and Rani got outside The Tree of Life, after they sat down, Rani started to talk: "What was that nightmare about?" Kion took a deep breath and answered with a sad expression: "I was going back to The Pride Lands but everything there was devastated, Kilio Valley, Big Springs, Mizimu Grove even Pride Rock. When I reached Pride Rock, I saw my parents, Kovu, Vitani, Tiifu and Zuri dead. Kiara was the only one that was still alive, she was devastated and she blamed me for this because I didn't came back in time. Then I saw Zira and her pride along with Makucha and his friends surrounding us and then Scar's ghost appeared on Pride Rock making an evil laugh. The last thing I saw in this nightmare was Kiara getting killed before you woke me up."

Rani was shocked when she heard all this but she remembered something and said: "My grandmother told me that nightmares are caused by something that bothers us? Is there something bothering you Kion?" Kion answered: "Yes. There is. I miss mom, dad and Kiara. I haven't seen them for a year and the last time we saw each other was on our weeding. Why do you think I can't focus on my duties?"

Rani: "How long have you missed them?" Kion: "A month." Rani: "Why you didn't tell me about this earlier?" Kion: "I didn't want to bother you." Rani: "You should go and visit them." Kion said with a surprised look: "What?" Rani: "You should visit your family. I think spending a week with them will help you feel better." Kion answered with a smile: "Thank you Rani but who will take care of my duties while I'm gone?" Rani: "Don't worry, The Night Pride will take care of everything." Kion: "Thank you" after he said that Kion nuzzled his mate and Rani answered with smile: "You're welcome." She pointed him the path and said: "Now go, I'll let your friends know. Your week starts when you reach The Pride Lands." Kion: "Thanks" as Kion was going to the path, he turned around and said: "Bye Rani, I love you." Rani: "I love you too" Kion went to the path without turning again.

Kion walked all night until sunrise, he was on half of the way to The Pride Lands, he decided to take a rest, so he sat under tree thinking about returning to his family. Meanwhile the rest of The Night Pride woke up, Bunga asked: "Where is Kion?" Rani entered the tree and answered: "Kion misses his family, so I decided let him go to The Pride Lands and stay there for a week." Bunga: "What? Why you didn't woke us up so we can come with him." Rani: "Because he is going to The Pride Lands to spent time with his family, plus that I didn't want to ruin your dream of beauty, also I need you to help me with my duties. With all of you it's so much easier." Bunga: "OK. I just hope Kion can make it." Rani answered with laugh: "Bunga. Kion has mastered The Roar. He can take care of himself." Baliyo said with a smile: "I hope Kion have a great week." Rani nuzzled her brother and said with a smile: "I hope so too little brother."

Meanwhile Kion continued to walk, as he was walking, he was thinking about the good old time he had at The Pride Lands before he and his friends went on a journey to The Tree of Life. He also imagined his family's reaction once they see him, he also thought about getting to know Kovu better and see Vitani's progress as leader of The Lion Guard. He stopped once he reached The Outlands and he remembered the fun times he had with Jasiri. He continued to walk, soon he saw Jasiri and Janja, they were surprised to see Kion, Jasiri said a surprised look: "Kion? I'm surprised to see you."

Janja: "Same here. It's been a year, since we last meet."

Kion: "True. I came here to pay my family a visit for week. But it's also great to see you two."

Jasiri: "I agree"

Kion: "So, what are you doing?"

Janja: "We got exhausted from our duties. So we asked Madoa to take care of the unfinished duties while we take a rest."

Kion: "Are you always exhausted from your job as rulers of The Outlands?"

Jasiri: "No but Madoa helps us a lot. Even Tunu and Wema are helping us?"

Kion: "Really?"

Janja: "Yeah. They became so mature, just like Jasiri."

Jasiri said with a laugh: "Janja stop, I'm going to blush."

Kion felt a little awkward, so he said: "I guess I should be going. It's great to see you again. Bye."

Jasiri and Janja: "Bye Kion"

Kion ran as fast as he could and he finally reached The Pride Lands.
