The Lion Guard: Matembo's Love

It was a beautiful afternoon in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Mekundu Cliffs.

"How is Zuzu settling in?" Bunga asked.

"She's doing fine" Kion answered.

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" he said.

"Thanks Ono" Kion said warmly.

Meanwhile, Kiara and Belee had ventured to Kilio Valley to spend time with Matembo.

Kiara was settled beside Matembo underneath a baobab tree.

They were watching Belee and Mtoto play baobab ball.

"Belee is growing up very fast. You must be so proud of her" Matembo said.

Kiara noded.

"Her father and I are very proud of her accomplishments" she said.

"How is Kovu?" Matembo asked.

"He's fine, he sends his regards" Kiara said.

She glanced up and smiled as Belee and Mtoto bounded over.

Belee rubbed her muzzle against Matembo's leg.

"I love you Matembo" she said.

Kiara nodded in agreement as Mtoto settled beside her.

"I love you, dear Belee" Matembo said warmly.

"Are you two having fun?" Kiara asked.

Mtoto nodded.

"Belee's much better at baobab ball then I am" he said.

Matembo touched her trunk to his cheek.

"That's not true Mtoto" Belee said kindly.

Matembo and Kiara exchanged a glance.

"Would you object to your mother and myself joining in, Mtoto?" Kiara asked.

Belee and Mtoto exchanged a glance.

"You can join if you'd like it Mom" Belee said.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine. Nada showed me how to catch fish" Kia said.

Bemba rubbed her paw against Kia's cheek.

"I'm proud of you, and I love you" she said.

"I love you too" Kia said.

"Are you proud of me?" Kenai asked.

Bemba nodded.

"Of course" she purred.

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

They were settled underneath the baobab tree.

"Did you have a good hunt?" Simba asked.

Nala nodded.

She rubbed her muzzle against Simba's cheek.
