The Lion Guard: Ayla's Faith

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion said.

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.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I have to meet up with Ayla." He said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." She said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

Kion padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Ayla's cheek.

"Hi Ayla." Kion said.

Ayla's expression softened.

"Hi Kion" Ayla said.

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

"How was the hunt?" Kion asked.

"It was fine." Ayla said.

She bent her head, and nuzzled Kion’s cheek.

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

Kion nodded.

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

"What is it?" Ayla prompted.

"Do you still have faith in me?" Kion asked.

Ayla nodded.

"I always have, and I always will." Ayla said.

Kion pressed himself against Ayla’s pelt.

"I love you, Ayla." Kion said.

Ayla rubbed a paw against Kion's cheek.

"I love you too." She said.

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

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"Kia caught a mongoose." Nala answered.

Simba's expression softened.

"I'm very proud of her and Belee." He said.

Nala nodded.

"I am too." She said warmly.

She rubbed her muzzle against Simba's cheek.

"I love you, Simba." Nala said.

"I love you too." Simba answered.

He extended a paw, and Nala nestled against him.
