Akito and Estelle were drawing in the middle of the floor so they could be artists like Vincent too as something really came to their minds after they had met Simba and Nala with their cubs: Kion, Kiara, and Kopa. They were drawing Kiara with a darker shaded adult male lion.
"Whatcha guys drawin'?" Vincent smiled.
"It's Kiara as the new Lion Queen with Kopa as the new Lion King." Estelle showed her drawing.
"And what about Kion and the others?" Vincent asked.
"They're still in the Lion Guard of course, but I've been thinking about Kiara lately." Estelle said.
"Who's that lion with her?" Vincent asked.
"Kovu..." Estelle nervously replied since he was an Outland cub and the adopted son of Zira.
"And who's that lioness next to Kopa?" Vincent asked.
Estelle took a look and squinted her eyes. "I'm not sure, but I saw her in a dream."
"Let me see that." Akito took the paper to see who the lioness was with the eldest cub of Simba and Nala.
It seemed like a lioness they had not seen before.
"Who is that...?" Akito himself even wondered. "I feel like I should know her, but I'm not sure."
Felicity walked into the room, surprising her cousins and they then greeted her and wondered why she was here. "Maman and Papa would like to visit Africa to see how Simba is doing with his grown children."
"We'd like to go too." Akito said.
"Can we bring whoever we want?" Estelle asked eagerly.
"I'm sure that would be fine." Felicity smiled.
The kids then came into the other room to see their parents all sitting down together and talking about visiting Africa to see Simba and Nala again to check on the Pridelands.
"Mom, Dad, can we bring anyone we want to Africa for the visit?" Estelle smiled.
"Of course, dear." Mo smiled back.
"Anyone you would like that wouldn't be scared of lions." Atticus also smiled.
Estelle soon squealed before rushing off to the Clark family house.
"Who do you think she's going to call?" Forte asked.
"I will give you fifty guesses who she is considering..." Cherry nearly deadpanned.
"I'll give you three letters, L-E-E," Vincent smirked. "Anyways, I'll be back after I go and make a call to Jenny."
The adults chuckled as they kids rushed off before they would get set to visit Africa.
"I hope this Lee boy understands what Estelle wants from him..." Cherry said to the Fudo couple since she didn't know Lee as well as they did due to being Estelle's boyfriend and all.
"And hopefully Atticus won't be paranoid." Mo said.
"When do I get paranoid?" Atticus asked. "I'm sane!"
"Yeaaaaaah... No." Cherry said flatly.
"Watch this," Mo whispered to Cherry before clearing her throat. "Atticus, Lee is wanting to take Estelle out on a date and to be alone with her.
"WHAT?!" Atticus asked. "WITH NO ADULT SUPERVISION?!"
Cherry and Mo smirked to that. Atticus soon saw what they meant and decided to calm down.
"It's a fatherly thing..." Cherry said. "Charles gets the same way whenever Felicity wants to be alone with Chip."
"I just want to make sure Christopher doesn't try anything..." Forte replied about the kitchen boy in Belle and Adam's castle.
"Well, at least we know who the boys are also taking with them to the visit to Africa." Atticus smirked, referring to Akito and Vincent.
"Mm-hmm..." the others agreed.
Meanwhile...
"He's just upstairs in his room, Estelle, would you like me to get him for you?" Karen smiled to the brown-haired girl.
"Yes, please." Estelle nodded.
"Just a moment, dear." Karen smiled.
Estelle smiled back as she then waited patiently.
"Lee, you have a visitor!" Karen called up to her eldest child.
"Is it who I think it is?" Lee asked while lifting a dumbbell weight.
"Why don't you come find out?" Karen smirked.
"Coming!" Lee called, then put down the weight to come downstairs.
Estelle hummed to herself as she rocked back and forth on her heels while holding her hand behind her back. Lee looked down stairs to see Estelle there and decided to come down the stairs looking like he was in the middle of lifting weights with just one hand. Estelle giggled to that.
"What can I do for you today, my lady?" Lee asked suavely.
"Well, I was just in the neighborhood..." Estelle said casually before giggling since they were neighbors and all. "I was wondering if you'd like to visit Africa."
"I'd love to and I guess I could put off my weight lifting for a while." Lee said while lifting up a dumbbell weight, showing his muscles.
Estelle blushed to that and shuffled her feet shyly in front of him. "Um, how would you feel about interacting with lions?"
"I would love to interact with lions, they are my favorite besides gorillas," Lee said. "I'd do anything to meet lions up close."
"I was hoping you'd say that." Estelle smiled.
Dot then came out from a corner and came over to them, wanting to know if Lee also now had the ability to talk to animals due to kissing Estelle.
"Hey, girl." Lee smiled to his girlfriend's dog. "What're you doing here?"
Estelle bent down and picked up her puppy. "'Scuse us a sec." she then walked off for a moment.
Lee looked curious, but allowed it.
"Can Lee talk to animals?" Dot asked her owner.
"Did I just hear your dog talk?" Lee asked.
"I guess that's a yes." Estelle smiled.
Lee cleaned the inside of his ear. "I must be hearing things, dogs can't talk..."
"Dot," Estelle set her puppy down on the floor. "Speak."
"Hi there!" Dot smiled to him and gently wagged her tail.
This caused for Lee to continue to stand, but let go of his dumbbell weight while looking surprised. Dot got out of the way before she could get hit by the dumbbell.
"How is this possible?" Lee asked.
"Well, right now I'm speaking to you through barks because I'm not using Puppy Power," Dot said. "You now have the ability to talk to animals; just don't tell anyone else that you do."
"It's very important you keep this to yourself." Estelle also warned.
"But how do you talk to animals?" Lee asked his girlfriend.
"Because my parents can talk to animals too." Estelle said.
"Oh..." Lee blushed to that, then knelt down and shook Dot's paw. "Well, it's cool to do it too."
Tony walked by and rolled his eyes as he heard barking while Lee and Estelle talked. "Honestly, they act like that animal can talk to 'em..."
"So when do we leave?" Lee asked after standing up.
"Day after tomorrow, Aunt Cherry and Uncle Forte wanna visit the neighborhood first." Estelle replied.
"Okay, then I guess I'll pack." Lee said.
"You want some help?" Estelle asked.
"No thanks, I think I got it," Lee chuckled. "You go tell your family I'll be right there."
Estelle hugged him. "I'll call you once we're set." she then picked up Dot and went back home.
Lee smiled and waved as he then went upstairs in his room.
Vincent was on his tablet and waited for Jenny to be online so he wouldn't have to leave an awkward voice message, he preferred to have her right with him. "Come on, come on..."
"Hey." Jenny smiled as she finally answered.
"Ah, Jenny," Vincent smiled. "There you are."
"Sorry, I had to practice," Jenny replied. "What's up?"
"How would you like to come to Africa with me?" Vincent asked.
"Africa?" Jenny replied.
"It's okay if you say no, but I just think it'd be a lot more fun with you," Vincent leaned back on his bed, holding the tablet in his hands. "Mom and Dad say we can bring any guests we'd like."
"I'd love to come." Jenny smiled.
"Great," Vincent blushed to her smile. "I'm sure it'll be a great experience."
"Same here." Jenny smiled.
"You ever been to Africa?" Vincent asked.
"No, but my parents used to go all the time, it was one of the places they didn't take me because they didn't think it would be safe for me," Jenny explained. "I'm sure it's fine now since I'm older."
"Yep." Vincent nodded.
"Looking forward to it." Jenny smiled.
Meanwhile with Akito as he was on his laptop...
He was combing his hair with his bandanna off until he'd get an answer, but then stopped once he saw Emi smirking like she had watched him do that. "Uh, Emi, you're supposed to say hello when you sign in."
"I know." Emi smirked once she saw his brunette hair.
"You are so sneaky." Akito smirked.
"Yeah, yeah, so what's the big news? Or did you just miss me?" Emi smirked back.
"Both actually," Akito chuckled as he then tied his bandanna back onto his head. "Um, how'd you like to visit Africa?"
"I'd love to come!" Emi smiled. "Especially sense I don't have any princess duties to perform for days."
"Oh, that's great!" Akito was happy for that himself.
"Yeah, finally a vacation," Emi giggled. "Oh, um, is your cousin from Paris coming?"
"Hmm... Eloise..." Akito wondered about his rambunctious cousin coming along for the ride.
In New York City, Darla and Urchin were visiting the famed hotel as guests, but Eloise seemed to cause slight mayhem like she used to when she was an unsupervised six-year-old. She was riding on a delivery cart in a dining room as Ditto was on her head and she laughed as she had a lot of fun.
"I think she's going to be preoccupied." Akito said.
"Will she ever grow up?" Emi hid a giggle.
"Oh, I dunno, she's a lot like Uncle Urchin, I hear he was a bit of a jokester growing up." Akito said.
"Well, at last it'll be great to finally see the animals in a different country." Emi smiled.
"Yeah, it's just wonderful when you see it up close for yourself," Akito agreed. "And I can't wait to show you the Lion Guard."
"I can't wait either and I can't wait to meet Kopa, he seems like a second brother to you." Emi said.
"Oh, you could say that." Akito smiled.
The plans for inviting the special guests seemed to be all set.
"I still wonder who this is...?" Estelle looked at the lioness in the picture with Kopa. "She's very pretty though, for a lioness."
"Maybe it's someone new we'll meet." Akito said.
"I guess so..." Estelle shrugged.
"Dinner!" Mo called out.
The Fudo siblings soon rushed to dinner. Mo smiled as she made the family favorite of steak, potatoes, and broccoli.
"Everything is ready." Atticus said.
"Did you kids call your special guests?" Mo asked.
"Yeah, they're gonna come with us, and this is the best part, Emi doesn't have any princess duties." Akito smiled in excitement for his girlfriend.
"That's amazing." Mo smiled.
"I know!" Akito gushed. "It's like a dream... We're going away together i na far away world and she doesn't have to do her princess stuff, and,... And... And..."
"And I'm gonna marry her someday and our children will be strong and beautiful~" Vincent teased.
"Vincent?!" Akito blushed.
Vincent smirked and drank down his glass of water before anything else could be said or done. Akito simply rolled his eyes before taking a drink as well.
"Well, I'm glad she won't be distracted from her work and you guys will have more time together." Mo smiled to her younger son.
"Yeah." Akito smiled.
"Lee's really excited," Estelle smiled. "I hope we can explore a lot of sights together, just the two of us."
Atticus choked on his water. "What?!"
"Atticus..." Mo warned.
"But they're too young to be left alone!" Atticus defended himself.
"Atticus..." Mo narrowed her eyes.
Atticus folded his arms and grumbled.
"Excuse your father, Estelle." Mo said apologetically to her daughter.
"He's just being a dad." Estelle smiled.
"Yes... He is..." Mo chuckled.
Atticus looked rather firm and serious as his wife and daughter were rather amused.
"Aw, come on, Dad, Ash and Emi's dad is cool with me..." Akito defended.
"Yes, that's because he's ready for his little girl to...Grow up." Atticus frowned.
"Daddy, I'll always be your little girl, but you have to let me do these things sometimes..." Estelle said.
"I know..." Atticus sighed.
Estelle then went back to her dinner with her older brothers. Atticus barely ate as he couldn't believe how fast his little girl was growing up.
