The Lion Guard: Nala's Love

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." 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.

"It's all clear." Ono said.

"Thanks, Ono." Beshte said warmly.

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!" She said brightly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"Hi Mari." Fuli said warmly.

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

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

Mari nodded.

"I'm glad you're back. I'm bored." She said.

Fuli chuckled.

"We'll do whatever you want." She said.

Mari grasped Fuli's paw, and began to drag her into the den.

Kion chuckled, and followed them.

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

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

Kia nodded.

"I caught a klipspringer." She said.

Kenai purred.

"Great job." He said warmly.

Nala's expression softened.

"That was a very nice catch." Nala said.

"Thanks, Gran." Kia said.

She pressed herself against Nala's pelt.

"I love you." She said.

"I love both of you very much." Nala answered.

Kenai nestled against Nala's side.

"Are you proud of us?" He asked.

Nala nodded.

"I always will be." She said.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"How’s Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita said
