The Lion Guard: Sarafina's Love

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion said.

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." Beshte said.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion's cheek.

"Can I visit Mari?" She asked.

Kion nodded.

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

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi!" Marigold said brightly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"It's wonderful to see you." Fuli said.

"I'm glad you're both here." Mari said.

“We’re glad too.” Kion said warmly.

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

“Are you having a good day?” Kion asked.

Marigold nodded.

Meanwhile, Sarafina had met up with Belee and Denahi at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Denahi asked.

"It was fine." Sarafina answered.

Belee pressed herself against Sarafina's pelt.

"I love you, Nona."' She said.

Sarafina's expression softened.

"I love both of you very much." Sarafina said.

"Are you proud of us?" Denahi asked.

Sarafina nodded.

"I'm proud of all my grandchildren." She said.

She extended a paw, and Denahi nestled against her.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"Can Makini visit again?" Nita asked.

"I shall speak to my sister." Rafiki said.

Nita moved closer, and nestled against Rafiki's pelt.

"I love you." She said quietly.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"I love you too." He answered.
