The Lion Guard: Shari's Pride

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion said.

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.

"Good job, Ono." Bunga said warmly.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I want to talk to Granny." He said.

Fuli's expression softened.

"Let's go to the Meadow." She said.

She and Kion led the way to the Meadow.

When they arrived, they settled down underneath the baobab tree.

Kion glanced up.

"Granny, I want to talk to you!" He called.

He shivered as Shari's spirit embraced him.

"Hello, Kion." Shari said warmly.

“I need to ask you something.” Kion said.

“What is it?” Shari prompted.

"Are you proud of me, Granny?" Kion asked.

Shari nodded.

"I always will be." She said gently.

"I love you, Granny." Kion said.

"I love you too." Shari answered.

Kion watched Shari's spirit fade away.

"Do you want to visit Mari, Fuli?" He asked.

Fuli nodded.

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

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi!" She said brightly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

“How are you, Mari?” She asked.

"I'm glad you're both here." Marigold said.

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

"We're glad too." He said warmly.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at Hapuna Valley.

They were settled down underneath a baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.
