The Lion Guard: Diku's Confidence

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's Ameba?" Beshte asked.

"She's fine." Fuli 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.

"Good job, Ono." Bunga said warmly.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I need to go. Diku wants to see me." He said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." She said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against her cheek.

"I love you" Kion said quietly.

Fuli's expression softened.

"I love you too" Fuli answered.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Diku settled down outside the den.

He padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Diku's cheek.

"Hi Diku." Kion said.

Diku's expression softened.

"Hi Kion." She said warmly.

Kion crawled into Diku's paws, and nestled against her.

"How was the hunt?" Kion asked.

"It was fine." Diku answered.

She rubbed a paw against Kion's cheek.

"Did you have a good patrol?" Diku asked.

Kion nodded.

"I need to ask you something." He said.

"What is it?" Diku prompted.

Kion pressed himself against Diku's pelt.

"Do you still have confidence in me?" He asked.

Diku nodded.

"Darling, I always will." She said gently.

"I love you, Diku." Kion said.

"I love you too." Diku answered.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She rubbed her muzzle against Simba's cheek.

"I love you, Simba." Nala said.

Simba's expression softened.

"I love you too." Simba purred.

He extended a paw, and Nala nestled against him.
