The Lion Guard: An Outstanding Performance

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

Kion and his family were heading to Mizimu Grove to attend a concert given by Matembo's Herd.

Kion and Kiara were walking together.

"Is Mtoto performing again?” Kion asked.

Kiara nodded.

When they arrived at Mizimu Grove, Simba arranged them on the ledge.

Matembo cleared her throat.

"I am pleased to have all of you here." She said.

Matembo turned to her herd, and raised her trunk.

They began to trumpet loudly.

When they'd finished, Simba leapt down, and cleared his throat.

“That was outstanding.” He said.

Matembo inclined her head.

“Thank you, King Simba.” She said.

Kion leapt down, and padded towards Matembo.

“I really enjoyed it.” Kion said.

Matembo leaned down, and pressed her cheek against Kion’s.

“Thank you, Kion.” She said warmly.

“I love you, Matembo.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Matembo answered.

Kiara padded forward, and curled her tail around Kion’s shoulders.

“That was wonderful.” She said.

“Thank you, Kiara.” Matembo said.

Kiara’s expression softened as Mtoto approached her.

“Did you like my part?” Mtoto asked.

Kiara nodded.

“Yes, I am very proud of you.” She said.

“Really?” Mtoto asked.

“Of course.” Kiara answered.

She rubbed a paw against Mtoto’s cheek.
