The Lion Guard: An Uncle's Love

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

Kion and his friends were doing a patrol in Hapuna Valley.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"Would it be surprising if she wanted to see you?" Kion asked.

Fuli chuckled.

"Of course not" she said warmly.

Kion pressed his muzzle against hers.

"I love you" he said quietly.

"I love you too" Fuli answered.

Meanwhile, Kovu had taken Nita and Mari to the Meadow.

They were settled underneath the baobab tree.

"Uncle Kovu, I'm glad we get to spend time with you" Nita said.

Kovu's expression softened.

He and Nita watched Mari grasp a leaf.

"I'm glad too" he said.

Mari padded over to them, and crawled into Kovu's paws.

"I'm tired, Uncle Kovu" she said.

"You can sleep if you'd like" Kovu said gently.

Mari nodded, and curled into his pelt.
