The Lion Guard: A Perfect Celebration

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Pridelanders were heading to Mizimu Grove to celebrate Kupatana.

Kion and Kiara were walking together.

“Nona is giving the contribution.” Kion said.

Kiara nodded.

“I’m excited to hear it.” She said.

When they arrived, Kion and his family arranged themselves on the ledge.

The Pridelanders and the animals of the kingdom arranged themselves below them.

Simba stepped forward.

“As the royal contribution, my mother-in-law will now give a speech.” He said.

He moved aside as Sarafina stepped forward.

“When my daughter became the Queen of the Pridelands, I learned about the importance of protecting and caring for all that live within these borders.” Sarafina said.

She glanced behind her at Kion.

“I have benefited from this lesson after the births of my grandchildren and great-grandchildren.” She said warmly.

As the animals cheered, Simba stepped forward and cleared his throat.

“I believe the celebration can begin.” He said.

Rafiki stepped forward, and waved his staff.

The Pridelanders and the animals of the kingdom watched the baobab blossoms bloom.

Kion leaned against Sarafina’s foreleg.

“Happy Kupatana, Nona.” Kion said.

Sarafina’s expression softened.

“Happy Kupatana, sweetheart.” She said.

“I love you, Nona.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Sarafina said.
