The Lion Guard: Atka's Love

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

“How are Timon and Pumbaa?” Beshte asked.

“They’re 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.

"Great job, Ono." Bunga said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"I love you." Kion said quietly.

Fuli's expression softened.

"I love you too." Fuli answered.

Meanwhile, Kovu and Vitani had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kovu asked.

"It was fine" Vitani answered.

She stood up, and glanced up.

“What is it, Tani?” Kovu asked.

Vitani cleared her throat.

“Dad, I want to talk to you!” Vitani called.

Kovu stood up, and moved to stand beside Vitani.

He and Vitani shivered as Atka's spirit embraced them.

“I’m here, Vitani.” Atka said.

“We want to tell you something.” Vitani said.

“Go ahead, sweetheart.” Atka said.

Kovu and Vitani exchanged a glance.

“We love you, Dad.” Kovu said.

Atka’s expression softened.

“I love both of you very much.” Atka said.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.

She moved closer, and nestled against him.
