The Lion Guard: An Unbreakable Bond

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"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

"Al clear" he said.

"Thanks Ono" Fuli said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I have to go, Kiara wants to spend time with me" he said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time" she said brightly.

Kion nodded, and bounded off.

When he reached the Meadow, Kion found Kiara settled underneath the baobab tree.

He padded up to her, and stretched his neck to nuzzle her cheek.

"Hi Kiara" he said warmly.

Kiara rubbed a paw against his cheek.

"Did you have a good patrol?" Kiara asked.

Kion nodded.

He crawled into her paws, and settled down.

"I love you, Kiara" he said.

"I love you too" Kiara purred.

Meanwhile, Belee and Denahi had met up at Hapuna Valley.

They were settled down underneath a baobab tree.

"I love you Nahi." Belee said suddenly

Denahi's expression softened.

"I love you too" he said.

He rubbed his muzzle against Belee's cheek.

"Do you want to play Baobab Ball?" Belee asked.

Denahi nodded.

He stood up, and padded towards a baobab fruit.

"Come on Belee!" He called.

Belee chuckled, and stood up.

Meanwhile, Sarabi had ventured to Kora and Vitani's cave to spend time with Mari.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"I love you Nai Nai" Mari said.

"I love you too" Sarabi said warmly.

She rubbed her muzzle against Mari's cheek.

"Do you like patrolling with Papa?" She asked.

Marigold nodded.

She nestled closer to Sarabi's flank.

"Is Zuri okay?" She asked.

Sarabi nodded.

"Sweetheart, she's just grieving. Koda's death was very hard on her" she said.

"Do you think Grandpa's taking care of Koda?" Mari asked.

Sarabi nodded.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"Can I join the evening patrol?" Nala asked.

Simba nodded.

"Of course you can" he said warmly.

Nala leaned over, and nuzzled Simba's cheek.

"I love you" she purred.

"I love you too" Simba murmured.

He rubbed a paw against Nala's cheek.

"You can join the hunt tomorrow" Nala said.

"I'd love too" Simba said.
