The Lion Guard: Zuri's Pride

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"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" Beshte said warmly.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"I need to go. Zuri wants to see me." Kion said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." She answered.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

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

"Hi Zuri." Kion said.

Zuri's expression softened.

"Hi Kion" Zuri said.

Kion crawled into her paws, and nestled against her.

Zuri rubbed a paw against Kion's cheek.

"I love you." She said warmly.

"I love you too." Kion said.

Zuri leaned down, and nuzzled Kion's cheek.

"I'm very proud of you." Zuri said.

"Thank you, I'm proud of you too." Kion 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.

She rubbed her muzzle against Simba's cheek.

"I love you, Simba." Nala said.

"I love you too." Simba purred.
