As the sun came over the edge of the Pridelands Kion and Fuli woke in each other's arms.

"I love you Kion" Fuli said still in his arms.

"As do I Fuli," he replied.

As they began to sit up they couldn't help but hear someone come up behind them.

The rest of the Guard approached them already having seen enough to know that they were together now.

"See? What did I tell you guys?" Bunga asked the rest. "I knew that Kion had feelings for her!"

"Yes. Yes you did Bunga," replied Ono in an annoyed tone since Bunga was basically saying I told you so.

"H- Hey guys." Kion said nervous about what they would think about them.

"Why didn't you ever tell us huh?" asked Bunga in an excited tone.

"Wh- What?" Kion replied.

"Bunga! It is not our business why they decided not to tell us," Beshte said. "If they wanted to tell us they would."

"Do we want to tell them?" Fuli asked Kion.

"Sure I don't have a problem with it." he replied.

"Well to start it off we only started to have feelings for each other a few months before the 'peace talks'." Fuli stated.

"Yeah and even then we were nervous about what the other thought about it which is why we took so long to confess." Kion followed.

"After we got back though Kiara caught me sneaking a glance at Kion and stopped me to talk about the situation," she said. "She really is good when it comes to love."

"Wait. Kiara talked to you to?" Kion asked Fuli.

"Yeah she did. You as well?" she asked.

"Yes!" he replied. "She got me to admit to her about my feelings for you and told me that if I don't take a chance I will never find out what it is like to be with the one you love."

"Wow she told me the same thing!" exclaimed Fuli.

"It seems like my advice has worked." Kiara said as she and Kovu approached.

"It did sis. Thank you for your help," Kion said. "Without you we wouldn't have got together."

"Same here as well Kiara," started Fuli. "Thanks for all you have done."

"No problem you two! I like seeing you happy so I figured I would help get you together since I noticed your feelings like Rafiki did to me and Kovu." replied Kiara.

"So what now?" asked Bunga.

"Well once everyone else is ready we will leave to go back to Pride Rock," Simba said as he approached.

"H- Hey dad." Kion said nervously.

"Look you don't have to worry at all about me and your mother with your relationship with Fuli, we both understand that you love each other," stated Simba.

"Whew. Wait you two knew as well?" he asked.

"Yes we knew. Kiara was surprised that we knew as well when I told her," Simba replied. "What you think we don't pay attention to your lives?"

"No! I know that you do it's just that with everything that you two do this would have snuck by you," Kion said.

"Well it didn't," said Simba.

"It is time for us to leave for Pride Rock now," Simba said to everyone.

As the Lion Guard and everyone else made there way to Pride Rock they were greeted by the cheering Pridelanders that had gathered to welcome back their King and the heirs along with the Guard.

"Oh Kiara!" Nala exclaimed as she ran to her daughter. "We were so worried! What happened?"

Kiara had recounted the situation to everyone that had not gone with Simba to rescue her.

"Oh my! That is one horrifying experience," Nala said. "I am also glad to hear that you and Fuli have gotten together Kion."

"Thanks mom," Kion replied.

"Well once you get reacquainted and fed we will discuss about the Upendi Day celebrations," Simba said.

When everyone got done with what they needed to do they gathered in front of the den to discuss Upendi Day.

"With everything that happened we were not able to go through with the plans that we had for the day," Simba stated. "The question is now should we reschedule the celebrations a week from now or just go about our business."

"I believe that it should continue," said Kiara.

"Really? After everything that happened to you?" asked Nala. "You will still have to give the speech."

"Yes I am sure about it," she replied. "We do not need to cancel the celebrations for the entire Pridelands for what just happened to us. Also I had time to think about the speech while I was held captive so I will be ok."

"Same with me as well, I had time to think while recovering at Rafiki's," Kovu followed.

"Well then I guess there is no arguing with that, so who is in favor for continuing on with the celebrations?" Simba asked the group.

One by one everyone had voted to go through with the celebrations despite everything that ha happened.

"It is decided then," Simba stated. "The Upendi Day celebrations will go on!"

As everyone cheered and started to talk to one another about plans for the day, Kion and Fuli just stood there as they watched everyone else.

"I guess we will be spending our first Upendi Day together after all," said Fuli.

"Yes we will Fuli," Kion replied. "Yes we will."

When everything died down the two lovers made their way to the headquarters to start their first day together off.
