The Lion Guard: A Remarkable Brotherhood

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"How's Basi?" Fuli asked.

"He's fine." Beshte 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.

"Great job, Ono." Bunga said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I have to go. Kovu wants to see me.” Kion said.

Fuli’s expression softened.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said warmly.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

Kion padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kovu’s cheek.

“Hi Kovu.” Kion said.

Kovu’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Kovu said warmly.

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

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

Kion nodded.

He pressed himself against Kovu’s pelt.

“Can we hunt together tonight?” Kion asked.

Kovu nodded.

“Of course we can.” Kovu said.

He bent his head, and nuzzled Kion’s cheek.

“I love you, Kovu.” Kion said.

Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“I love you too.” Kovu 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 leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.

“I love you, Simba.” Nala said.

Simba’s expression softened.

“I love you too, sweetheart.” Simba 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.

She moved closer, and leaned against Rafiki’s side.

Rafiki pressed his palm against Nita’s cheek.

“I love you, my darling.” Rafiki said.

“I love you too.” Nita said.
