The Lion Guard: A Strong Bond

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ndefu Grove.

"How's Ameba?" Kion 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.

"Thanks, Ono." Fuli said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I have to go. Kiara wants to see me." Kion said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." She said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

He padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kiara's cheek.

"Hi Kiara." Kion said.

Kiara's expression softened.

"Hi Kion." She said warmly.

Kion crawled into Kiara's paws, and nestled against Kiara's pelt.

"How was the hunt?" He asked.

"It was fine." Kiara answered.

She rubbed a paw against Kion's cheek.

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

Kion nodded.

He pressed himself against Kiara's pelt.

"I love you, Kiara." Kion said.

"I love you too." Kiara purred.

“Can we hunt together tonight?” Kion asked.

Kiara nodded.

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.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.

“I love you.” Simba said.

“I love you too.” Nala said.
