The Lion Guard: Zuri's Love

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"What's Zuri doing today?" Fuli asked.

"She's going to spend time with Nahi and Belee" Kion answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later and settled down on Beshte's back.

"All clear" he said.

"Thanks Ono" Fuli said warmly.

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

They were settled underneath the baobab tree.

"I love you Zuri" Belee said.

Denahi nodded in agreement.

"I love you both very much" Zuri said.

She sighed, and glanced up.

"What's wrong?" Denahi asked gently.

"I miss Koda" Zuri answered.

Belee and Denahi exchanged a glance.

"We understand Zuri" Denahi said kindly.

"We miss him too" Belee added.

"Really?" Zuri asked.

Denahi nodded.

"Of course. He was our friend" he said.

Zuri bent her head to nuzzle Belee's cheek.

"Perhaps we should head home now. I'd like to see Mari" she said.

Denahi stood up, and nudged Belee to her paws.

They led the way back to Pride Rock.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at Hapuna Valley.

They were settled underneath a baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine. Kion wants to join the evening hunt" Nala answered.

Simba rubbed a paw against her cheek.

"Will you let him?" He asked.

Nala nodded.

She nuzzled Simba's cheek affectionally.

"Darling, I love you" she murmured.

"I love you too" Simba purred.

He extended a paw, and allowed Nala to nestle closer to him.

"Would you like to join the evening hunt too?" Nala asked.

Simba nodded.
