The Lion Guard: A Grandfather's Support

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.

"How's Ameba?" Bunga 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." Fuli said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"I love you." Kion said.

Fuli's expression softened.

"I love you too." She said.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"I want to talk to Grandpa." Nita said.

Rafiki glanced up.

"Go ahead." He said.

Nita cleared her throat.

"Grandpa, I want to talk to you!" She called.

She and Rafiki shivered as Mufasa's spirit embraced them.

"I’m here, Nita." Mufasa said.

Nita felt Rafiki move to stand beside her.

"I want to ask you something." Nita said.

"What is it?" Mufasa prompted.

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

Mufasa's expression softened.

"Sweetheart, you always will" Mufasa said.

"I love you, Grandpa." Nita said.

"I love you too." Mufasa said warmly.

Nita watched Mufasa's spirit fade away.

She turned, and leaned against Rafiki's side.

"I love you, Rafiki." Nita said.

"I love you too" Rafiki answered.
