The Lion Guard: A Reliable Friendship

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Hapuna Valley.

"How's Maple?" Beshte asked.

"She's fine." Fuli answered.

"It's all clear." Ono said.

"Thanks, Ono." Bunga said.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

“Do you want to visit Mari?” He asked.

Fuli nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

“Hi!” Marigold said brightly.

Fuli’s expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari’s cheek.

“Hi Mari.” Fuli said.

Kion moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari’s cheek.

“Are you having a good day?” He asked.

Marigold nodded.

“I’m so glad you’ve come back.” Mari said.

“We’re glad too, my darling.” Fuli said warmly.

She rubbed a paw against Marigold’s cheek.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.

“I caught an antelope.” Kia said.

“That’s great, Kia.” Kenai said warmly.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How’s Midnight?” Nita asked.

“She is fine.” Rafiki said.
