The Lion Guard: Midnight's Fondness

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Hapuna Valley.

"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." Fuli said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"I love you." Kion said quietly.

Fuli's expression softened.

"I love you too." Fuli answered.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“Midnight wants us to visit today.” Rafiki said.

Nita glanced up.

“Really?” Nita asked.

Rafiki nodded.

“We can leave now, if you want.” Rafiki said.

Nita nodded eagerly.

Rafiki led her down the slope, and they exited the tree.

When they reached Midnight's Cave, Midnight bounded out to greet them.

“Hi Midnight.” Nita said.

She moved forward, and pressed her muzzle against Midnight's.

“Hello, my darling.” Midnight said warmly.

Rafiki moved forward, and inclined his head.

“Hello, Midnight.” Rafiki said.

“It is wonderful to see you both.” Midnight said.

“Can we go inside, Midnight?" Nita asked.

Midnight nodded, and led the way inside the cave.

They settled down amongst the moss.

Nita nestled against Midnight's pelt.

“I love you, Midnight.” Nita said.

Midnight's expression softened.

“I love you too, sweetheart.” Midnight said.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.
