The Lion Guard: Nala's Confidence

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"Hasn't it been peaceful lately?" Bunga asked.

Beshte nodded.

"You're right, Little B." He said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Well, Newleaf is approaching." Fuli said.

"We should all stay alert." Kion added.

He 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.

"Thanks, Ono." Beshte said warmly.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"I have to go. Mom wants to spend time with me." He said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." She said.

"Give my regards to Queen Nala." Ono added.

Kion nodded, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Nala settled outside the den.

He bounded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Nala's cheek.

"Hi Mom." He said.

"Hi Kion." Nala said warmly.

Kion crawled into her paws, and nestled against her.

"Did you have a good patrol?" Nala asked.

Kion nodded.

"Did the hunt go well?" He answered.

Nala nodded.

She watched Kion sigh, and press closer to her.

"What's on your mind?" She asked gently.

"I need to ask you something." Kion said.

"What is it?" Nala pressed.

"Do you still have confidence in me?" Kion asked.

Nala's expression softened.

"Of course I do. I love you so much." She said.

"I love you, Mom." Kion answered.

Nala rubbed a paw against his cheek.

"You'll always be my baby." She said quietly.
