The Lion Guard: Zazu's Devotion

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

Kion and his friends were doing a patrol in Urembo Meadows.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine" Kion said.

He 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" Kion said warmly.

Meanwhile, Zazu and Simba had met up at Ndefu Grove.

They were settled underneath a baobab tree.

"Thank you, Zazu" Simba said suddenly.

"For what, Simba?" Zazu asked.

"For the devotion and loyalty that you've shown since I assumed the throne" Simba said.

Zazu's expression softened.

"It was my pleasure" he said warmly.

Simba sighed, and glanced up.

"What is it?" Zazu asked gently.

"I wish Dad was here" Simba explained.

"Hasn't Rafiki told you enough?, Mufasa is always here" Zazu said.

"Do you think he's proud of me?" Simba asked.

Zazu nodded.

"I know he is, as am I" he said.

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

They were counting juniper berries.

"Midnight told me there was a new growth of borage at Huwezi Falls" Nita said.

"Perhaps you can collect some?" Rafiki asked.

Nita nodded.

She bent her head, and began sniffing at a pile of leaves.

"How is your mother?" Rafiki asked.

"She's fine." Nita said.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba in Nyani Grove.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine" Bemba said.

Kia nodded in agreement."

"Belee and I came along. I almost caught a starling" she said.

"Did Belee catch anything?" Kenai asked.

Bemba nodded.

"She caught a magpie" she said.

Kenai pressed his muzzle against Kia's cheek.

Meanwhile, Naanda had met up with Belee and Denahi inside the den.

They were settled amongst the moss.

"Nahi, guess what I caught today on the hunt" Belee said excitingly.

"What'd you catch?" Denahi asked.

"She caught a magpie" Naanda said proudly.

"Good job Belee." Dennai purred.

Belee pressed her pelt against Naanda's.

"Was it a good catch, Nada?" She asked.

Naanda nodded.

"Your skills are improving. I am so proud of you" she said warmly.
