The Lion Guard: Shari's Support

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"How's Basi?" Fuli 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.

"Great job, Ono." Bunga said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I want to talk to Granny." He said.

Beshte and Fuli exchanged a glance.

"Let's go to the Meadow." Fuli said gently.

She and Kion led the way to the Meadow.

When they arrived, they settled down underneath the baobab tree.

Kion glanced up.

"Granny, I want to talk to you!" He called.

He shivered as Shari's spirit embraced him.

"Honey, what's troubling you?" Shari asked.

Kion felt Fuli move to settle beside him.

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

"What is it?" Shari prompted.

"Do I still have your support?" Kion asked.

Shari's expression softened.

"Sweetheart, you always will." She said.

"I love you, Granny." Kion said.

"I love you too." Shari answered.

Kion watched Shari's spirit fade away.

He felt Fuli press her muzzle against his cheek.

"Are you okay?" Fuli asked gently.

Kion nodded.

"Do you want to visit Mari?" He asked.

"Of course" Fuli purred.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi!" She said brightly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"What do you want to do?" She asked.

Mari glanced at Kion.

"You promised me a story." Marigold said.

Kion chuckled.

"I haven't forgotten." He said warmly.

He moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari's cheek.

He and Fuli led Mari into the den.
