The Lion Guard: A Wonderful Bond

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling the Flood Plains.

"How's Ma?" Beshte asked.

"She's fine." Bunga 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." Beshte said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"Do you want to visit Mari?" He asked.

Fuli nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi!" Mari said brightly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"Hi Mari." She said warmly.

Kion moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari’s cheek.

"Are you having a good day?" Kion asked.

Marigold nodded.

"I was waiting for you to come back." She said.

Fuli chuckled.

"What do you want to do?" She asked.

"Come inside and sit with me." Mari answered.

She led Kion and Fuli into the den.

They settled down amongst the moss.

Marigold pressed herself against Kion's pelt.

"I love you both." Marigold said.

"We love you too" Kion purred.

Fuli rubbed a paw against Mari's cheek.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.
