The Lion Guard: Meeting Ahadi and Uru

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

Nita and Rafiki were preparing to go to the Moonpool to introduce Mari to Ahadi and Uru.

"Are you excited, Mari?" Nita asked.

"Yes, Nita. I want to meet them" Mari said.

"Darlings, it's time to go" Rafiki said.

"Do you want Rafiki to carry you?, or do you want to walk on your own?" Nita asked.

"I want to walk" Marigold answered.

"Let me know if you get tired" Rafiki said warmly.

He led the way down the slope and out of the tree.

"Nita, what're they like?" Mari asked, as she walked unsteadily beside her sister.

"They're wonderful, Mari. I know they'll love you" Nita answered.

When they reached the Moonpool, Rafiki guided Mari to a patch of moss, before bending to touch his muzzle to the water.

Nita waded into the shallow water, and glanced up.

"Yeh-Yeh, Grandma Uru!" She called.

She shivered as their spirits embraced her.

"What is it, Nita?" Ahadi asked.

"You need to meet Mari" Nita answered.

"It's time already?" Uru asked.

Nita chuckled.

"Yes, Grandma Uru" she said.

Mari padded forward, and pressed herself against Nita's side.

"Mari, these are Grandpa's parents, they're Papa's grandparents" Nita said.

"Hello, Marigold" Ahadi said gently.

"How are you?" Uru added.

"I'm fine" Mari answered.

"Rafiki's told her all about you and the drought, Yeh-Yeh" Nita added.

Ahadi chuckled.

"That is a wonderful tale" he said.

"How is Simba, Nita?" Uru asked.

"He's fine, Papa misses you" Nita answered.

"We miss him very much" Ahadi said.

Suddenly, Marigold mewled.

"What's wrong, Mari?" Nita asked.

"I'm tired" Mari muttered.

"Go to Rafiki" Nita said.

Uru and Ahadi's spirits embraced Marigold, and she padded over to join Rafiki.

"She's such a precious cub" Uru sighed.

"She's got the whole pride wrapped around her paw" Nita said fondly.

"Nita, it's time to go!" Rafiki called.

"I love you Yeh-Yeh and Grandma Uru" Nita said.

"We love you too" Ahadi said warmly.

He watched as Nita padded over to join her sister and Rafiki.
