The Lion Guard: Diku's Affection

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"How's Basi?" Kion 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." Fuli said warmly.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I need to go. Diku wants to see me." He said.

Full nodded.

"Have a good time." She said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

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

"Hi Diku." Kion said.

Diku's expression softened.

"Hi Kion." Diku said warmly.

Kion crawled into Diku's paws, and nestled against her.

"How was the hunt?" He asked.

"It was fine." Diku said.

She rubbed a paw against Kion's cheek.

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

Kion nodded.

He pressed himself against Diku's pelt.

"I love you." Kion said.

"I love you too." Diku answered.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"Belee caught a finch." Nala said proudly.

"That's wonderful." Simba purred.

He extended a paw, and Nala nestled against him.

“I love you, Nala.” Simba said.

“I love you too.” Nala answered.
