The Lion Guard: A Sister’s Pride

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Urembo Meadows.

“How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion 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." Bunga said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I have to go. Kiara wants to see me.” Kion said.

Fuli nodded.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

Kion padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kiara’s cheek.

“Hi Kiara.” Kion said.

Kiara’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Kiara said.

Kion crawled into Kiara’s paws, and nestled against her.

“Did you have a good patrol?” Kiara asked.

Kion nodded.

“How was the hunt?” He asked.

“It was fine.” Kiara said.

Kion pressed himself against Kiara’s pelt.

“I love you, Kiara.” Kion said.

Kiara rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“I love you too.” Kiara said.

She bent her head, and rubbed her muzzle against Kion’s cheek.

“I’m very proud of how much you’ve grown.” Kiara said.

“Thanks, Kiara.” Kion 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’s expression softened.

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

He pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.
