The Lion Guard: An Important Friendship

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

“How are Timon and Pumbaa?” Beshte asked.

“They’re fine.” Bunga answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

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.

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

“Okay, Mari.” Fuli said.

She and Kion followed Mari into the den.

They settled down amongst the moss.

Marigold nestled against Fuli’s pelt.

“I really love you both.” Marigold said.

“We love you too, sweetheart.” Fuli said.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.
