The Lion Guard: A Great Brotherhood

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"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." Beshte said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I have to go. Kovu wants to see me.” Kion said.

Fuli’s expression softened.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, Kion saw Kovu settled down outside the den.

Kion padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kovu’s cheek.

“Hi Kovu.” Kion said.

Kovu’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Kovu said warmly.

Kion crawled into Kovu’s paws, and nestled against him.

Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“Did you have a good patrol?” Kovu asked.

Kion nodded.

He pressed himself against Kovu’s pelt.

“I love you, Kovu.” Kion said.

Kovu bent his head, and nuzzled Kion’s cheek.

“I love you too.” Kovu 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.
