The Lion Guard: A Wonderful Celebration

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Pridelanders were heading to Mizimu Grove to celebrate Kupatana.

Kion and Kiara were walking together.

"Kovu's doing the contribution." Kion said.

Kiara nodded.

"I know." She answered.

When the Pridelanders arrived at Mizimu Grove, Kion and his family settled down on the ledge.

The Pridelanders and inhabitants of the kingdom arranged themselves below them.

Simba stepped forward.

"As the royal contribution, my son-in-law will now give a speech." He said.

He stepped aside, and Kovu moved forward.

Kovu cleared his throat.

"As I observe all of you celebrating this wonderful event, I am reminded of the love that brought two prides together." He said.

His expression softened as he glanced at Kiara.

"I am proud to have the honor of protecting all that is around me." He said.

The animals cheered, and Kovu moved to stand beside Kiara.

Simba stepped forward, and cleared his throat.

"I believe the celebration can begin." He said.

Rafiki stepped forward, and waved his staff.

The Pridelanders and animals of the kingdom watched the baobab flowers bloom.

Kion pressed himself against Kovu's foreleg.

"That was wonderful." He said warmly.

"Thanks, Kion." Kovu said.

Kiara leaned over, and nuzzled Kovu's cheek.

"I'm really proud of you." She said.
