The Lion Guard: An Everlasting Connection

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

Kion and his friends were patrolling Nyani Grove.

"How's Basi?" Fuli asked.

"He's fine." Beshte 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." Beshte said.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion’s cheek.

“Can I visit Mari?” She asked.

Kion nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

“Hi!” Marigold said brightly.

Fuli’s expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari’s cheek.

“Hi Mari.” Fuli said.

Kion moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari’s cheek.

“Are you having a good day?” He asked.

Marigold nodded.

“I’m really glad you’ve come back.” Mari said.

Fuli rubbed a paw against Mari’s cheek.

“We’re glad too, darling.” Fuli said warmly.

“Come inside and sit with me.” Marigold said.

“Okay, Mari.” Kion said.

He and Fuli followed Mari into the den.

They settled down amongst the moss.

“I love you both.” Marigold said.

“We love you too.” Fuli said.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.

“I love you, sweetheart.” Nala said.

Simba’s expression softened.

“I love you too.” Simba said.
