----
It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands, not long after Kopa's return. At Pride Rock, Kion had awoken and headed out of the den, making his way to the peak. He gazed out at the kingdom, his tail twitching with excitement.
Behind him, Kiara appeared in the entrance to the den, coming over to her younger brother.
"Are you excited to spend time with Kopa?" she asked.
Kion nodded.
Just then, Kopa came out of the entrance to the den, joining the two of them. Simba and Nala followed closely behind him.
"What are we doing today?" Kopa asked his siblings.
"We want to show you the Meadow." Kion said.
"Okay. Let's get going then." Kopa said.
Simba and Nala exchanged a glance, their eyes reflecting the same happiness at seeing their children together.
"Have a good time, you three." Simba said.
"I'm sure we will, Dad." Kopa replied.
Nala stepped towards Kiara, nuzzling her affectionately.
"You're excused from the hunts, you can spend as much time with your brothers as you want." she told her daughter.
"Thanks, Mom." Kiara answered.
Kion stepped closer to Nala, pressing himself against her foreleg. Nala bent down to nuzzle her youngest son.
"Have a good time, Kion." she said.
"I will, Mama." Kion replied.
Simba and Nala watched as Kiara led the way down the pathway to the grasslands, Kopa and Kion following behind her.
When the three of them arrived at the Meadow, Kopa glanced around him.
"So, this is the place you and Kion are always talking about?" he asked his sister.
"Yes, it's very special to us. I know we haven't told you the whole story yet, but this is where Kovu and I found each other after he was exiled from the Pridelands." Kiara told him.
"I can't wait to hear those stories." Kopa said.
He watched, amused, as Kion bounded over to a baobab fruit, grasping it in his jaws, and dragging it over to the two of them.
"So much has changed in the seasons since I was abducted by the hyenas, I can't believe I've missed so much of both of your lives. I promise I'll always be here for both of you from now on. I want to be a good brother." Kopa said.
"We're so glad you're home. I know how much Mom and Daddy missed you while you were gone." Kiara told him. 
"I missed them too." Kopa answered.
Kiara's expression softened as she watched Kion approach them, still dragging the baobab fruit.
"After Mom and Daddy told us about you, I asked Kora, Afua, Babu, and Boga to tell us what they knew too. They told us all the stories from your cubhood." Kiara said.
"There's still plenty more stories that need to be told, believe me." Kopa replied.
He reached over, pulling the baobab fruit towards him as Kion released it from his jaws.
"Do you want to play Baobab Ball, Kion?" he asked amusedly.
"Yes, I do." Kion confirmed.
Kopa and Kiara exchanged an amused glance, before rising to their paws to join Kion, the three of them beginning to kick the baobab fruit towards each other.
