The Lion Guard: An Incredible Relationship

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains.

"How's Maple?" Beshte 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.

"Great job, Ono." Kion said.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion’s cheek.

“Can I visit Mari?” She asked.

Kion 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?” Kion asked.

Marigold nodded.

“Come inside and sit with me.” Mari said.

“Okay, Mari.” Fuli said warmly.

She and Kion followed Mari into the den.

They settled down amongst the moss.

Marigold nestled against Fuli’s pelt.

“I love you both.” Mari said.

Kion’s expression softened.

“We love you too.” Kion said.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.
