The Lion Guard: A Special Romance

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

“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.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion's cheek.

"I love you." She said quietly.

Kion's expression softened.

"I love you too." He answered.

Meanwhile, Kovu and Kiara had met up inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"How was the hunt?" Kovu asked.

"It was fine." Kiara answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Kovu's cheek.

"I love you." Kiara said.

Kovu's expression softened.

"I love you too" Kovu said.

He extended a paw, and Kiara nestled against him.

“I’d like to hunt with Belee tonight.” Kovu said.

Kiara nodded.

“I’m sure she’d love that.” Kiara 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 Rafiki’s side.

“I love you.” Nita said.

Rafiki’s expression softened.

“I love you too, sweetheart.” Rafiki said.

He pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.
