The Lion Guard: A Remarkable Attachment

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

Kion and his friends were patrolling Chakula Plains.

“How are Timon and Pumbaa?” Fuli 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.

"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 really glad you’re both here.” Mari said.

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

She rubbed a paw against Mari’s cheek.

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

“Okay, Mari.” Kion said.

He and Fuli followed Mari into the den.

They settled down amongst the moss.

Marigold nestled against Fuli’s pelt.

“I love you both.” Marigold said.

“We love you too.” Kion said.

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

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"Did the hunt go well?" Simba asked.

Nala nodded.

Simba extended a paw, and Nala nestled against him.

“I love you.” Simba said.

“I love you too.” Nala answered.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How’s Makini?” Nita asked.

“She is fine.” Rafiki said.

Nita moved closer, and nestled against him.

“I love you, Rafiki.” Nita said.

Rafiki pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.

“I love you too.” Rafiki said.
