The Lion Guard: A Perfect Afternoon

It was a peaceful afternoon in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"How's Ameba?" Kion asked.

"She's fine." Fuli 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.

"Thanks, Ono." Beshte said.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion’s cheek.

“Can I visit Mari?” Fuli 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?” Kion asked.

Marigold nodded.

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

Fuli rubbed a paw against Marigold’s cheek.

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

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How’s Makini?” Nita asked.

“She is fine.” Rafiki said.

Nita moved closer, and nestled against him.

“I love you.” Nita said.

Rafiki pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.

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