The Lion Guard: Mufasa's Confidence

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine" Kion answered.

He 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" Fuli said warmly.

Kion glanced up.

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

"Why?" Bunga asked.

"I want to talk to Grandpa" Kion answered.

Fuli's expression softened.

She and Kion led the way to the Meadow.

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

Kion cleared his throat.

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

He shivered as Mufasa's spirit embraced him.

"What is troubling you, Kion?" Mufasa asked.

Kion sighed.

"I want to ask you something" Kion said.

"What is it?" Mufasa prompted.

Kion felt Fuli move to settle beside him.

"Do you  have confidence in me?" Kion asked.

Mufasa's expression softened.

"Yes, I always will." He said gently.

"I love you, Grandpa" Kion said.

"I love you too" Mufasa answered.

Kion watched Mufasa's spirit fade away.

He felt Fuli rub her muzzle against his cheek.

"Can I visit Mari?" She asked.

Kion nodded.

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

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

She rubbed her muzzle against Fuli's foreleg.

"Hi!" Mari said excitingly.

Fuli bent down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"How are you?" She asked.

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

Kion moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari.

"We are too" Kion said.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at Hapuna Valley.

They were settled down underneath a baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine" Nala answered.

She rubbed her muzzle against Simba's cheek.
