The Lion Guard: A Strong Brotherhood

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Urembo Meadows.

“How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion 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." Beshte said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I have to go. Kopa wants to see me.” He said.

Fuli nodded.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Kopa settled down outside the den.

He padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kopa’s cheek.

“Hi Kopa.” Kion said.

Kopa’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Kopa said.

Kion crawled into Kopa’s paws, and nestled against him.

“Did you have a good patrol?” Kopa asked.

Kion nodded.

“I love you, Kopa.” Kion said.

Kopa rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“I love you too.” Kopa said.

“Can we hunt together tonight?” Kion asked.

“Of course we can.” Kopa said warmly.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his

tree.

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.

She moved closer, and nestled against Rafiki’s side.

“I love you.” Nita said.

Rafiki pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.

“I love you too.” Rafiki said.
