The Lion Guard: A Brother’s Pride

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Ukuni Woods.

"How's Ma?" Ono asked.

"She's 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." Fuli said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I have to go. Kopa wants to see me.” He said.

Full nodded.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

He padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kopa’s cheek.

“Hi Kopa.” Kion said.

Kopa’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Kopa said.

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

Kopa rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

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

Kion nodded.

He pressed himself against Kopa’s pelt.

“I love you.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Kopa answered.

He bent his head, and rubbed his muzzle against Kion’s cheek.

“I’m very proud of how much you’ve grown.” He said.

“Thanks, Kopa.” Kion said.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.
