The Lion Guard: A Friend's Confidence

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"How's Basi?" Bunga 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.

"Thanks, Ono." Fuli said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I have to go. Zuri wants to see me." He said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." She said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

He padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Zuri's cheek.

"Hi Zuri." Kion said.

Zuri's expression softened.

"Hi Kion." Zuri said.

Kion crawled into Zuri s paws, and nestled against her.

"Did you have good patrol?" Zuri asked.

Kion nodded.

"I need to ask you something" Kion said.

"What is it?" Zuri prompted.

Kion pressed himself against her.

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

Zuri nodded.

"I always have, and I always will." She said.

"I love you" Kion said.

"I love you too"' Zuri answered.

She rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

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, Simba." Nala said.

Simba's expression softened.

"I love you too." He answered.
