Defending the Pride Lands: Back in the Pride Lands

Back in the Pride Lands is the first episode in Defending the Pride Lands.
==Synopsis==
The Lion Guard return to the Pride Lands after bringing peace to the Tree of Life.
"We are officially home," Fuli said.
"I didn’t know how much I missed it," Kopa replied.
"Neither did I," Kion said. "Come on, let’s go to Pride Rock."
The Lion Guard approached Pride Rock, where Simba, Kiara, Nala and Kovu were.
"Mom? Dad?" Kion said.
"Kion!" Simba said. "How long are you going to visit for?"
"Well, forever. See, we brought peace to the Tree of Life, and now we’re back home."
"And it’s just the Lion Guard with you?" Nala asked.
"Well, yes, plus Ko—" Kion began
"Kopa?" Simba gasped.
"We thought you were long gone!" Nala said.
"When I heard about the Lion Guard, I had to go. Now, I'm here."
"We heard a lot about what...you..." Simba began.
"I know. But, Kion gave me a chance. I'll make sure not to let him down."
"We hope so," Nala said.
"We’ve missed you a lot," Kiara said.
"Kiara?" Kion said. "Where are Vitani and the others?"
"They’re out on patrol. Why?"
"When we left again, they took our place,” Ono said.
"Maybe we should see our families,” Kion suggested. "See you all later."
Multiple scenes show: Beshte with Basi, Bunga with Timon and Pumbaa, Anga with Tai.
"I’m so proud of you, Anga," Tai said. "And I’m glad you returned."
"Me too!" Anga replied.
The scene switches to Bunga, Timon, and Pumbaa
"Bunga! You’re back!" Timon said.
"We’ve missed you, Bunga!" Pumbaa added.
"Hey, there you are!" Bunga said. "I’ve been looking everywhere!"
The scene shows Beshte and Basi.
"Dad!" Beshte said. "We're back!"
The scene switches to Kion and Kiara on Pride Rock.
"I’ve missed home," Kion said.
"We’ve missed you, Kion," Kiara said.
"I’ve missed you, too. And the entire Pride Lands."
"Do you miss the Tree of Life?"
"Yes, I do."
"Well, hopefully you can start protecting the Pride Lands again."
The two looked at the sky.
"I hope so. How did you feel when you met Kovu?"
"Well, I was suspicious, a little excited…”
"Did you think he was...right for you?"
"Not then. Why do you ask?"
"That’s how I felt staying at the Tree of Life. And now I feel like that coming home."
"What about seeing Kopa?"
"Happy."
"Huh. Maybe I was supposed to stay here all along." Kion thought on this.
"Maybe."
"What if I'm not?"
"Well, we'll see what happens..."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that you need to decide where you stay. Not me."
"I jus—"
"Can I join you guys...?" Kopa asked.
"Yes, of course," Kiara said.
"Where did you go all those years?" Kion asked.
"I was in the Outlands for a while..."
"Were you alone?"
"No, I had a hyena friend. Her name was Asante."
"Really?"
"Yes. She was kinda like a sister to me."
