The Lion Guard: Babysitting Marigold

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Ukuni Woods.

"How is your family?" Beshte asked.

"They're fine" Kion answered.

He glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded and to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

"All clear" Ono said.

"Want to come see Mari, Fuli?" Kion asked.

"Absolutely" she said warmly.

She and Kion bade goodbye to their friends, and headed back to Pride Rock.

When they reached Pride Rock, Mari rushed out to greet them.

She was followed by Kora.

Fuli's expression softened, as she moved forward to nuzzle Mari.

"Hi Mari. How are you?" She asked.

"I'm fine. I'm glad you've come" Mari answered.

Kion moved forward, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"Hi Mari" he purred.

"Hi Kion" Mari said.

Kora cleared his throat.

"Kion, I was actually wondering if you and Fuli might be able to watch Mari" he said.

Kion and Fuli exchanged a glance.

Fuli nodded, and Kion turned back to Kora.

"Sure" Kion said instantly.

Mari's expression brightened, and she began bouncing around Fuli excitingly.

Kora chuckled.

"Have a good time" he said.

Fuli gently nudged Mari towards Kora.

"Say goodbye to your father" she said.

Mari rubbed her muzzle against Kora's foreleg.

"Bye Daddy. I love you" Mari said.

"I love you too. I won't be gone long" Kora said.

He turned, and bounded off.

Mari turned to Fuli.

"What're we going to do?" She asked.

"We'll do whatever you want" Fuli said.

"Can we visit Sunningrocks?" Mark asked.

Fuli and Kion exchanged a glance.

"I'm okay with doing that" Kion said.

He and Fuli led the way to The Meadow.

When they reached the Meadow, Kion and Fuli led Mari onto Sunningrocks.

"Do you like patrolling with Dad, Mari?" Kion asked.

Mari nodded, and nestled closer to Fuli's flank.

Fuli rasped her tongue over Mari's ear.

"You can sleep. We'll look after you" she said.
