The Lion Guard: Grandfatherly Pride

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling the Flood Plains.

“How are Timon and Pumbaa?” Fuli asked.

“They’re fine.” Bunga answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

"It's all clear." Ono said.

"Great job, Ono." Kion said.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How is your family?” Rafiki asked.

“Everyone’s fine.” Nita answered.

Nita cleared her throat.

“Can I talk to Yeh-Yeh?” She asked.

Rafiki nodded.

Nita glanced up.

“Yeh-Yeh, I want to talk to you!” She called.

She and Rafiki shivered as Ahadi’s spirit embraced them.

“I’m here, Nita.” Ahadi said.

Nita felt Rafiki move to stand beside her.

“I need to ask you something.” Nita said.

“What is it?” Ahadi prompted.

“Are you proud of me?” Nita asked.

Ahadi’s expression softened.

“Sweetheart, I always will be.” Ahadi said.

“I love you.” Nita said.

“I love you too.” Ahadi answered.

Nita watched Ahadi’s spirit fade away.

She leaned against Rafiki’s side.

“Are you okay?” Rafiki asked.

Nita nodded.
